The article describes a prototype of a computer system for preparation of paper-delivered test materials for evaluation of knowledge, skills and competence of students in classroom curriculum-based education. By using the system the teacher can quickly prepare and print multiple test sheets which are different from the students’ viewpoint but assess one and the same knowledge or skill. The test generator integrates the following components:1. Database with test problems.2. Software module for printing in which:– The teacher enters the amount of test materials;– The teacher enters the subject, type, complexity and other parameters of the test problems;– The system automatically generates and prints the test materials with the defined criteria.3. Software module for database management.

This paper attempts to put forward some problems of foreign language teaching in relation to cross-cultural communication. The introduction of cross-cultural issues in foreign language teaching is a logical consequence of the integrative tendencies which are getting more and more popular. The new circumstances require a different attitude towards the learners. They should be viewed as subjects of their own culture on the one hand, and as representatives of the foreign culture through the language studied, on the other hand.

However, the skills and attitudes that go with this acquisition process are ignored.

Second grade pupils show a high level of language competence formation in line with the second grade curriculum. There is a statistically significant difference in the achievements of girls and boys. Pupils have mastered the syntax knowledge and skills to a very high level. They show lower morphology results: they have mastered spelling knowledge of voiced consonants in the end of the word, as well as spell-checking skills, but they find it difficult to check the spelling of an unstressed vowel, especially if the word is plural; they are able to distinguish the studied parts of speech, define their grammatical gender category and differentiate between singular and plural forms.

In the present paper an idea for optimizing the positioning of serving units in tourism business is revealed using some applications of mathematics in economics. The elaboration has a methodological character. Methodologically the authors assume that some tourist objects (hotels, restaurants, etc.) are given and they try to determine the best possible position for a serving unit (store, office, etc.) using a set of optimization problems. Finally, an approbation of the results with a real example is considered.
