VII. Прочитайте и переведите весь текст письменно. Составьте краткую аннотацию к тексту
In most economies government revenues come mainly from direct taxes on personal incomes and company profits as well as indirect taxes levied on purchase of goods and services such as value added tax (VAT) and sales tax. Since state provision of retirement pensions is included in government expenditure, pension contributions to state-run social security funds are included in revenue, too. Some small component of government spending is financed through government borrowing.
Government spending comprises spending on goods and services and transfer payments.
Governments mostly pay for public goods, that is, those goods that, even if they are consumed by one person, can still be consumed by other people. Clean air, national defense, health service are examples of public goods. Governments also provide such services as police, fire-fighting and the administration of justice.
A transfer is a payment, usually by the government, for which no corresponding service is provided in return. Examples are social security, retirement pensions, unemployment benefits and, in some countries, food stamps.

Dear Sirs,
We have received your quotations of 1 February and the samples of men' s suiting we asked for, and thank you for these. While we appreciate the good quality of your products, we find the prices of these materials rather high for the market we supply, as materials of this type are exported by European manufacturers at prices from 10% to 15% below yours. Your prices make it impossible for us to complete on the market. We would like to place our order with you, but must ask you to reduce your prices if possible.
Yours faithfully.
