Hello! Let me introduce myself to you. I"m Alexander, Alex for short. I live in Moscow. I"m a student of the 11th grade. We are a family of four my mother, my father, my elder brother and me. We live in a block of flats on the tenth floor. There are three rooms in our flat and we have all modern conveniences. I share a room with my elder brother. My brother is a student. We don"t have any secrets from each other. We get on very well with my brother. Sometimes I even borrow his clothes and he never gets annoyed. We don"t feel competitive because we have different interests. I"m more academic and he"s more artistic. But we are fond of sports very much. We both go to the swimming pool twice a week. It helps us to keep fit, it gives us good stamina, and it"s good for our hearts and lungs. We hardly ever quarrel or fight. My brother never sees me as being in the way. I think I"m quite easy-going. I"m similar in personality to my mother. She is always very friendly to all although she can be quite critical of people. I like to be friendly to the people around me, and I don"t normally like to let my bad moods and anger inside me come out and affect other people. I don"t know if I"m particularly obsessive.

I like to do different things. I am fond of collecting different things. One day I collect toy cars, the other day I want to collect badges. But most of all I prefer collecting stamps because it"s a family hobby. You can learn a tremendous amount through stamps, especially about history. Stamps are a great way to bring history. All the members of my family collect stamps and the theme of our collection is history. It is a long-lasting hobby and who knows - in 20 years or so it may have become an impressive collection that can be appreciated and enjoyed by my own children too.

I have grandparents, my mother"s parents. They don"t live with us, but I often visit them. They live a very routine life but they like it. I can"t put my finger on their flat exactly, but there is some atmosphere in their house like nothing has changed for twenty years. My parents are doctors and they work in the hospital. They are very giving, caring persons and always consider those around them. They work very hard in their hospital and really put all their energy in their work. They are very much in love, even after years of being married and always caring for each other. My parents have warm friendly eyes and always express a spirit of goodwill towards people.

I love my parents very much and my ambition is to be a doctor too, because I want to help people if they have some problems with their health. I am originally became interested in medicine during my 9th grade, when I realized that my skills and my traits would serve me well in my future career. Besides I"m good at Chemistry, Biology and History and they are my favourite subjects. I"m not very good at English but I understand that it is one of the most important subjects now, and I try my best to improve it.

We have a pet. It"s a dog. Her name is Sunny. Her mother is Scotch shepherd dog. I am never lonely with my pet. She is a great favourite with everyone in our family. All people admire her. She wears a good collar with her name. She especially likes morning walks with my father.

My native city is Moscow. Many people associate Moscow with the Kremlin and Red Square as the heart of the city. It is really the oldest historic and architectural centre of Moscow and my favourite place in Moscow, because it"s connected with the history of my country.

Nowadays the Moscow Kremlin with all the beauty of the palaces and cathedrals is a wonderful sight. All these cathedrals have been converted into museums. Ivan the Great Bell Tower, one of the most remarkable structures of the 16th century, rises in the centre of the Kremlin. It unites all the Kremlin Cathedrals into a majestic ensemble.

One of the well-known Kremlin museums is the Armoury Chamber. It was built in 1851. The famous golden cap of Monomach, the first Russian imperial crown of Catherine II made of silver, and many other precious historic items are exhibited there. So when you come to my native city, I"ll show you all interesting and amazing sights of it.

What can you tell us about your nearest and dearest? 7. What are your parents? 8. What subjects are you good at? 9. What are your favourite subjects at school? 10.

I live in Moscow in a block of flats. It"s a typical Moscow 16-storey building. We don"t live in the centre of Moscow, but we live not far from the metro station. It takes us 10 minutes to get to the centre of the city. There are three rooms in our flat and we have all modern conveniences. The building is centrally heated; there is cold and hot running water in our flat. We have good kitchen and bathroom facilities really. There is a big living room and two bedrooms in our flat. My brother and I share one big bedroom. We have two beds, a couple of very comfortable chairs and a lot of storage space for us to keep our things. In the hall there is a little corner where our computers live. And in the living room there is a video, a very good hi-fi system and a fantastic television. Our windows look down on a football pitch, which is occasionally used by schoolchildren. A lot of trees are visible from our windows and we can see the top of the church too.

One of the great advantages of our flat is that our block of flats isn"t next to any big roads. So we get virtually no noise from outside. Well, there are two layers of glass separating us from the outside world, a kind of double-glazing. We live on the 11th floor. And I like living high up, because a lot of light comes in. I like to have more sunlight, I think it"s healthy for the spirit.

My mother always keeps fresh flowers in our flat. I like flowers very much and so does my brother. They make our flat feel alive. My mother waters them regularly, and I think they are happy, as they are well taken care of.

My mother is a successful career woman, and my father is a software designer. There is always a very nice family atmosphere in our flat. Our parents are very friendly. And besides, every little detail, every picture on the walls, every vase of flowers gives the place a homely atmosphere. So I can say that our flat is very cosy.

Text 3. Family and family values

research - исследование

household - семья, домашне хозяйство

generation - поколение

to share - делить

dream - мечта

dweller - обитатель, жилец

privacy - личная жизнь

extended family - семья из нескольких поколений

trust - доверие

to bother - беспокоиться

trouble - проблема

valuable - значимый, ценный

hope - надежда

possession - собственность

protection - зашита

to respect - уважать

dignity - чувство собственного достоинства

school certificate - школьный аттестат

lo cheat - обманывать

to bridge - наводить мосты, преодолевать препятствия

generation gap - конфликт между поколениями

agreement - соглашение

A family is an essential part of our society and I think everyone wants to have a happy family. Firstly, I believe that a happy family should have things sharing together like dreams and hopes, not only possessions. I think it"s great. Secondly a happy family is a place where respect dwells, a place where all members can enjoy the dignity of their own personalities. But in my opinion, love and trust are more important for a happy family than any other values, because without love happiness is impossible. If you love each other, then all obstacles will be overcome, and all gentle words will be found, and this cruel world will turn to you with a kind smile.

There are a lot of problems in an extended family, especially between brothers and sisters. They always treat one another badly. Of course, if you have a lot of brothers and sisters, there will be no privacy. But on the other hand, when you have no brothers or sisters, life becomes boring.

There are a lot of problems and conflicts that appear between teenagers and their parents. They don"t understand each other.

Parents always want their children to be clever and learn harder. They don"t bother themselves to understand their children. They are always glad when their children have trouble with things that are very valuable for them.

Parents always cheat teenagers. They say that school is very important for us and to enter an institute we should have good marks in our school-leaving certificates.

But it"s not what the children want. I think that it is necessary to bridge the generation gap, and parents and children must come to an agreement.

I think that having a good family is very important in our life because it is like a friendly port for us when the waves of life become too wild. We need a family, for comfort and protection. For example, when I have some problems, my family always take my word against anybody else"s. And I"m sure I can always rely on their help. Besides, I think that it"s lovely to have the family round you and to know they are interested in you. You will never feel lonely.

1. Answer the following questions:

1. What is a generation gap? 2. How should we overcome it? 3. What family is extended? 4. Do you agree that an extended family is better? 5. Is your family an extended one or not? 6. What problems are there in an extended family? 7. Do you agree that parents often cheat you? 8. Do you think that a school certificate with good results is important?

to create - создавать

to stick - приклеиваться

unequal - неравный

Any family is in charge of the welfare, comfort, health, success in work and good relations of every member in the family.

There are stereotypical responsibilities of the husband, the wife and the children. They say that the wife"s responsibilities are, basically, to do everything. The typical role of husband is that he goes out to work and earns money for the family. Maybe, at the weekend he cleans his car and does more technical things around the house. Lots of people in Britain are really into DIY, that"s do-it-yourself, and they try to make furniture, put their own bathroom appliances, put tiles on the bathroom walls themselves, etc.

In many countries now it"s more accepted that a woman can have a family and a career, whereas before it was seen as something shocking, and men were outraged that their children would be left with strangers, and thought that it was the wife"s duty to bring them up. I think that"s all changed now. I think responsibility for all of the important aspects of life should be shared by both of the parents, especially bringing up the children. I think that the care and early education of children shouldn"t only fall into the hands of the mother, but that the father should also take an active part.

I think that children should be given as much responsibility as they"d like to take on from as early as possible. I don"t think that they should be too smothered by parents and have everything done for them if they can do things for themselves. It"s very good for a child to learn to be able to take care of himself and his things. Of course, the more things he can do, the more versatile person he can become.

As for me, I have always been conscious that the interests of my family ought to be more important than my own wishes and desires, such as buying expensive new things or hanging around with some pals. I don"t mind this because I like household chores. In our family I do a lot of things, because my parents usually work. I do most of the washing up, tidy my room and make my bed. I often go shopping. Cleaning the room is probably the best one, and the worst I think is cleaning the bath, because it kills your back. My father and I try to help my mother to do the chores. Everyone in the family is responsible for cleaning and repairing things when they have free time. In order to have a loving family every person ought to do the chores. That is the way I see it.

If I were married, I"d like to create a situation where all of these tasks would be shared fairly equally between me and my husband. Of course, if I like doing some things more and my husband would like other things more, this would be OK. I don"t like the situation that my husband goes out to work every day, and I would be just stuck inside the house looking after children, keeping the clothes clean and cooking. This seems very unequal to me.

1. Answer the following questions:

1. What are your household chores? 2. Are they difficult? 3. What are your parents" household chores? 4. Who will fulfil household chores in your future family? 5. What is an ideal situation concerning household chores in the family? 6. Who shares responsibility in your family? Why?

Hello! Do you have grandparents?

Yes, I"m a lucky one. I have two grannies and two grandpas. And you?

So do I. Let"s talk about our grandparents.

OK. I"d like to tell you about my mother"s father. He is a very interesting man for me. He has a very big garden, and he keeps bees, five bee hives. Once I organized an excursion to his hives. It was interesting to watch his work with his hives.

Did you taste honey?

Sure. He gave us fresh honey with tea. All my classmates were very glad to taste it.

It"s very interesting. And I"d like to tell you about my father"s mother. She has a piano, and she is a very good musician. When she was young, she used to go to different parts of our country with the concerts. I think that my musical ability comes from her. Now she doesn"t have concerts, she daily teaches me to play the piano. I"m very thankful to her.

OK. Thank you for our talk. Maybe I"ll come to your place to listen to your granny.

Maybe. And I"d like to go to the country to see your grandpa"s hives. Bye.

What flat do you live in?

It"s rather large and comfortable. And a good thing about our flat is that the kitchen is rather big.

Who do you live there with?

I live there with my parents and my elder sister. And you?

I live with my parents and grandparents.

Are they still working?

No, they are on pension.

And where do they live?

In a country house, not very far from Moscow. It takes me 35 minutes to get to the downtown.

Do you have all modern conveniences?

Sure. And our house is rather big. It"s a two-storey building. I have a room of my own there. There is a big living room and a kitchen, but the bathroom is not very large.

I"d like to come to your place. Can I do it tomorrow?

Of course. Write down my address. See you tomorrow at 5 pm.

MY FAMILY

Hello, everybody! Let me introduce myself. My name is Pete. My surname is Ivanov. I was born on the 2 nd of November 1988 in Barguzin region. So, now I am 17 years old. According to the Russian law I am under age yet but in a year, when I am 18 years old, I will come of age. My sign of zodiac is a Scorpio, my animal zodiac is a Dragon. I am a very sociable and friendly person. My best friends love and respect me both for my candid and cheerful character and for my wit and sharp tongue. Frankly speaking I am a bit lazy but when it is necessary I can overcome this drawback.

After leaving school I entered the Buryat State Academy of Agriculture in Ulan-Ude. I study at the economics faculty. I am a first-year student. It is rather difficult to study at the Academy but I do my best to overcome all difficulties. I"ve got my life credo: “not to get but to obtain”. I"m hunting a job now. I can earn my pocket money this way. I don"t live with my parents as I am a student already. I am not from Ulan-Ude, that"s why I live in the students" hostel near the Academy. My roommate, Paul, is a cool guy. On my weekends I often visit my parents and even help them about the house.

In my free time I am fond of reading, listening to music, watching TV, chatting with my friends and dating my girlfriend Helen. Helen is a wonderful girl. I"ve got a driving license and my cherished dream is to buy a car some day. As regards my sports activity, I am not particularly enthusiastic about it. So, I am not much of a sportsman, just sometimes I play football and basketball. But I"d like to go in for martial arts, in particular, karate. That"s the way I can protect myself and my girlfriend from different maniacs.

But most of all I am crazy about music, you know. It"s my passion. I like different kinds of music but mostly dance one. Though when I am in my bad mood I prefer lyrical music to dynamic one. Classical music leaves me cold. I"ve got rather a good voice and I play guitar pretty well. That"s why I enjoy imitating the voices of our popular singers. They say I"m rather good at it. My favourite male singer is Elton John, my favourite female singer is Mariah Carey and my favourite group is “The Beatles”. So, my friends call me “life and soul” of any party.

As for my family, it is rather large. I"ve got mother, father, a sister, two brothers and grandparents.

My dad, Mr. Ivanov, is an engineer and a good one at that. He likes his job and spends much time there. He is a very busy man. By character my dad is a quiet person, while my mum is very energetic and talkative. My mother, Mrs. Ivanova, works as a teacher of English at school. She is a very beautiful and elegant woman. She is the best mum in the world. My parents are of the same age. They are both 52 years old.

My grandparents are pensioners. My grandmother is an active lady and she helps the family a lot. She knits, makes clothes, does most of the cooking and looks after the house. My grandfather retired on a pension at 60 but he is still in very good health and full of life and energy. They live with our family since my dad is their only son.

My elder sister"s name is Ann. She is 27 years old. She is married. Her husband Victor is my brother-in-law. He is a big wig in our region. He is a businessman. Their wedding was so splendid with lots of famous people. They spent their honeymoon in Egypt. Ann is a typical housewife as they have a little daughter Lucy. My little niece is only 6 months. The baby is a smart little darling and we all are very charmed with this pretty girl. Ann used to be a teacher, but now she is her daughter"s mum, nurse, cook, tutor and what not. They"ve got a cosy house next to our place.

My eldest brother"s name is Nick. He is 30 years old. Nick is 13 years my senior. He works as a manager for MTS company in Ulan-Ude. He is also married. His wife Linda is my sister-in-law. She works for the same company. Nick is a very good and wise guy. I can trust him all my secrets. They have two sons, Alexander and Anton. My nephews are twins. They are 10 years old. They are schoolboys. They are fond of roller-skating, riding their bicycles and playing computer games.

My younger brother Vladimir is only 15 years old. He is two years my junior. He is a schoolboy. He is rather handsome and all girls are crazy about him. But his cherished dream is to date only “Miss Universe” or at least some top-model. I think it is rather stupid of him. He is going to enter the Moscow State University.

There"s one more member in our family. We"ve got a cat, Bonny by name. Bonny is our family pet and we all adore him.

Of course I"ve got lots of relatives: aunts, uncles and cousins but I love my own family most of all. We are very friendly and we are always glad to meet at home.

MY DAILY ROUTINE

Hi, there! I am Kate. I"d like to tell you about my daily routine. I study at the Buryat State Academy of Agriculture. I am a first-year student of the Economics faculty. I study many subjects at the Academy such as economics, mathematics, history, English and others. But my major subject is management. After graduating from the Academy I will be qualified as a manager. I go to the Academy every day.

I usually get up at 6.30 in the morning. I usually open the window and turn on the tape-recorder. I do my morning exercises to the music. After that I go to the bathroom and take my shower. Then I dry myself with a towel, clean my teeth and brush my hair there.

I go back to my bedroom and dress myself. I make my bed, tidy up my things and put my books into the bag.

Then I go to the kitchen to have my breakfast. I usually have some porridge, sandwiches and eggs. I also have tea with milk. After breakfast when I have enough time I usually help my mother to wash plates and cups and to clean the kitchen. Besides, I often read a little to refresh my memory for my tutorials and seminars.

At 8 o"clock I start for the Academy. My classes begin at 8.30. I am always in a hurry as I am never late for the classes. I live not far from the Academy so I go there either on foot or by tram. If I go to the Academy on foot it takes me 20 minutes to get there. If I go to the Academy by tram it takes me 10 minutes to get there.

There are 15 students in my group. Actually we have one or two tutorials, a lecture or a seminar daily. Economics and maths come easy to me but English is my weak point. So I have to work hard at it in the language laboratory.

After classes I usually have lunch in the canteen at about 2 o"clock. After lunch I go to the library. I work and read in the reading room of our library nearly every day. In fact I go to the library to prepare for my tutorials and seminars. So do a lot of other students. They work in the library when they have not lectures or seminars.

Later some students go home or back to their hostels. Others go to the cafй (coffee-bar) where they have tea or coffee and talk to their friends.

In the cafй I usually meet my boyfriend Pete. Actually we have much in common as both of us are very fond of music. As a matter of fact Pete is good at English and he never refuses to consult me.

Occasionally we go to the cinema or to some dance club together and then Pete sees me home. We always have a good time together. At home I don"t go to bed early. I have my supper and do some work about the house. Then I read a little, watch TV or do my homework. Before going to bed I usually take a bath. At 12 o"clock I am usually fast asleep. The working day is over.

OUR ACADEMY

The Buryat State Academy of Agriculture is the first higher educational institution in the Republic of Buryatia. It was founded in 1931 as the Buryat-Mongolian Agropedagogical Institute. In 1932 the Agropedagogical Institute was reorganized into two institutes - pedagogical and zootechnical. In 1934 there was founded a veterinary faculty and the institute was named the Zooveterinary Institute. Later there were opened new faculties: agronomy (1932) and technology (1954). In 1962 the faculty of technology was reorganized into the East-Siberian Institute of Technology. So, the Buryat Agricultural Institute became the so-called incubator of new schools of higher learning in Buryatia.

For the years of its existence the Academy has become one of the largest schools of higher learning of the Eastern Siberia and the Far East.

In 1995 as a result of the state attestation the Agricultural Institute was renamed into the Buryat State Academy of Agriculture. In 1998 the Academy was named after Filippov V.R., a talented scientist and a famous statesman of Buryatia, and a rector, who had made a valuable contribution to the Academy"s development.

At present seven faculties of the Academy train specialists for different branches of agriculture. They are the faculties of Agronomy, Technology, Economics, Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Humanities and the Institute of Land Management, Cadastre and Land-Reclamation. Training is maintained at a very high level. The teaching staff comprises highly skilled specialists, among them - doctors of sciences and professors, candidates of sciences and associate professors, experienced teachers and teaching assistants. Our academy has a student body of about 6,000 people. The greater part of them, about 4,000, consists of full-time students. About 2,000 students study by correspondence. Full-time students get stipends.

The graduates of our Academy can take post-graduate courses. Post-graduate students work in close contacts with the teaching staff when doing their research work. Every year the Academy assigns young specialists to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan and Irkutsk.

The faculty of Technology founded in 1931 is the oldest one in Transbaikalia. Since then the faculty has trained more than 4000 specialists. There are five chairs at the faculty.

The faculty of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1935 and trained more than 5000 veterinary doctors. Training of specialists is carried out at nine chairs of the faculty. The faculty staff is working on a number of research areas recognized by the Russian and international scientific communities.

The Engineering faculty was founded in 1961 and trained over 5000 highly skilled engineering mechanics. The faculty has nine chairs. Research at the faculty is conducted in many areas of agricultural production.

The faculty of Agronomy was founded in 1952. There are five chairs at the faculty. The faculty has trained almost 5000 specialists.

The faculty of Economics was founded in 1962. Ten chairs provide training of specialists at the faculty. Teachers of the faculty participate in Russian and international programs. They take training and qualification upgrading courses in leading Russian and International universities and research institutes.

The faculty of Humanities was established in 2003. The faculty consists of five chairs.

The Institute of Land Management, Cadastre and Land-Reclamation, which was opened in 2004, consists of three chairs.

At the Academy there are many classrooms, lecture-halls, drafting-rooms and well-equipped laboratories. There are several computer classrooms, the center of information technologies, experimental laboratories for research work and a good library with 500 thousands volumes of books on various subjects. The Academy has E-mail and is connected to Internet. The Academy is doing its best to construct comprehensive information system and to provide its faculty members and students the full environments of free information acquisition. There is also a publishing center issuing educational supplies for the students.

The main building of the Academy is one of the places of interest in Ulan-Ude. There are also 3 buildings - veterinary clinics, morphological building and vivarium. The Academy has mechanical workshops, a training ground, a motor-car park and experimental plots for research work. At our Academy there are also four hostels, some canteens, a big dining room and a sports hall.

The course of study lasts for five years. The academic year is divided into two terms: the winter term and the summer term. The students study different subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, foreign languages and other special subjects. Many students attend some optional courses on different specialities. At the end of each term students take current exams and credit-tests.

Practical training of students is held on “Baikal” experimental training farm. The students carry out experiments there, learn how to cultivate the soil, to drive tractors and lorries, to plough the ground, to sow crops and to weed fields and vegetable gardens.

Every year hundreds of students graduate from the Buryat State Academy of Agriculture and work in various branches of national economy.

PENZA STATE UNIVERSITY 8 Penza State University is one of the greatest and prestigious higher schools in the Volga region. The history of Penza State University dates back to 1943, when, during the Great Patriotic War, Odessa Industrial Institute was evacuated to Penza. So the University was founded as a polytechnic on the basis of the Odessa Industrial Institute. Since that time the University has grown into the centre of education, culture and science. Full University status was awarded in 1993. At present about 10.000 students study at the University, more than 600 teachers, associate professors and professors are on its staff. 360 of them are candidates and doctors of science. The University is housed in 10 buildings. The class-rooms and lecture- halls, the laboratories and workshops are equipped with up-to-date instruments, computers, machine-tools, audio-visuals and other training appliances. There is a rich library, 4 reading-rooms, a dining hall, 5 dormitories and a sports complex at the disposal of students. So the University has all the facilities necessary for successful studies and rest. Today Penza State University is made up of 11 main faculties: machine- building automation, instrument-making, radio-electronics, computer science, automation and information technology, economics and management and others. The University has also an extra-mural department, a preparatory course department and continuing education courses. The course of training includes various activities. During the academic year students attend lectures and seminars, carry out laboratory tests and get consultations from the teachers. At the end of each term they take examinations. The students who make good progress in their studies are entitled to scholarships. The course is divided into two stages. In the first and second years students study general engineering subjects (mathematics, physics, descriptive geometry) and some humanities (history, philosophy, foreign languages). It gives a solid basis of general education to future specialists. Special subjects are taught in senior courses. Much attention is paid to practical instruction. Students gain practical experience at plants, research institutes and design bureaus of the city. During the final term undergraduates carry out their graduation projects. They defend them before an examination board and become graduates. At the end of the university course they receive graduation diplomas and go to work to different branches of engineering. II Those graduates who wish to make scientific careers may stay at the University and apply for post-graduate courses. The University has both full- 9 time and extra-mural courses of post-graduate training where they carry on scientific research. Their supervisors are Doctors of Sciences. On completing their work they submit theses for a scientific degree. Penza State University is a famous centre of science. The major part of scientific research work is done by the teaching staff. Students may also take part in scientific investigation. Many of the University"s leading scientists try to attract as many students as possible to their own field of science. Students may join the Students" Scientific Society to investigate scientific problems, carry on research in experimental laboratories, design up-to-date instruments, learn modern research methods. Once a year the Students" Scientific Society members make reports at scientific conferences. Some students take part in the competition "For the Best Scientific Work of Students” and win diplomas, medals and prizes there. Quite often our students become co-authors of inventions made by the University scientists and get author"s certificates. Since its foundation, the University has trained lots of highly-qualified professionals able to work is various fields of science and engineering. Задание 2.

Занятие №1

1. Тема занятия «The system of the English language»

2. Значение изучения темы . Актуальность темы обеспечивается, во-первых, значительной ролью систематизации и анализа языковой информации в процессе ее усвоения. Во-вторых, выявление основных отличительных черт систем русского и английского языков будет способствовать не механическому, а сознательному изучению английского языка и развитию языкового мышления студентов. Таким образом, работа над данной темой активизирует логическое мышление, умения обобщения, классификации, сравнения, синтеза и анализа, что способствует общему профессионально-личностному развитию студента.

3. Цель обучения : систематизация имеющихся у студентов знаний по фонетике, лексике, грамматике и синтаксису английского языка и анализ этих знаний на основе сопоставления с русским языком (обучающийся должен знать основные особенности произношения гласных и согласных звуков и их

сочетаний, основные грамматические и синтаксические конструкции английского языка).

4. План изучения темы:

4.1. Исходный контроль знаний (вопросы).

Анализ системы английского языка в сопоставлении с русским:

- основные особенности произношения гласных и согласных звуков и их сочетаний,

- основные грамматические и синтаксические конструкции (порядок слов в английских утвердительных и вопросительных предложениях). Типы вопросов.

- особенности лексики английского языка

- роль и основные значения глагола “to be”.

Чтение и перевод текста “ What a Language!”

Решение ситуационных задач на соотнесение ситуации и реплики. 4.3. Самостоятельная работа по теме.

Выполнение упражнений и тестов по материалу занятия. 4.4. Итоговый контроль знаний.

Выполнение контрольно-обобщающих упражнений 13-16 стр. 19-20, упр. 15

5. Основные понятия и положения.

Тема «The system of the English language» предполагает систематизацию имеющихся у студентов знаний по фонетике, лексике, грамматике и синтаксису английского языка и проведение анализа этих знаний на основе сопоставления с русским языком, включая основные особенности произношения гласных, в том числе противопоставление по долготе-краткости, наличие дифтонгов, и согласных звуков (отсутствие оглушения и смягчения) и их сочетаний, основные грамматические и синтаксические конструкции (порядок слов в английских утвердительных и вопросительных предложениях) и особенности лексики английского языка.

Особое внимание на данном занятии уделено рассмотрению роли и основных значений глагола“to be”.

В ходе изучения темы преподаватель совместно со студентами делает обзор наиболее распространенных ошибок, допускаемых изучающими английский язык. Так, могут быть рассмотрены следующие случаи возникновения ошибок:

Студенты не всегда видят необходимость ставить глагол-связку. Они говорят, например, " I chief of the firm," исходя из того, что в аналогичных русских предложениях никакого глагола вроде бы нет. Особенно часты ошибки, связанные с построением предложений типа “Ночь. Улица. Фонарь. Аптека.

Студенты, даже зная правила, часто путают окончание “ s” множественного числа существительных и 3 лица ед. числа глаголов в Present Simple. Стоит признать, что совпадение окончаний у существительных во множественном числе и глаголов в 3-м лице единственного числа настоящего Времени поначалу затрудняет понимание английского текста. В отрыве от контекста читатель не получит представления о морфологической и синтаксической природе отдельно взятого слова: the works - труды, работы, произведения, he works - он работает; the dances-.танцы, she dances - она танцует.

Обучающиеся часто широко используют слово “ please” , тогда как соответствующее русскому «пожалуйста» please можно и нужно применять только в одном случае: при выражении просьбы или распоряжения. Tell me please, what"s the best way to get to the Medical Academy? - Скажите, пожалуйста,

как лучше всего доехать до медицинской академии? Give me a cup of coffee, please. - Дайте мне чашечку кофе, пожалуйста. Употребить please в ответ на просьбу (как это делаем мы, разговаривающие по-русски) никак нельзя. Услышав в свой адрес: Thanks for all you"ve done for me. - Благодарю вас за все, что вы сделали для меня, или I can"t thank you enough. - He могу выразить, как я вам благодарен, необходимо отвечать (тут важны интонация и улыбка, а то будет сухо): Don"t mention it. It"s all right. (It"s quite all right.) - Пустяки, не стоит благодарности. Все в порядке. You are welcome! - Всегда рад вам помочь.

Изучающие английский язык не всегда внимательны к артиклям, что может обернуться боком. Беседуя по-английски, важно помнить, что, говоря о национальности, профессии, партийности человека, надо пользоваться неопределенным артиклем.

Так, если кто-нибудь скажет: My father is the engineer. I am the doctor. My sister has married the Georgian, то недоумению собеседника не будет конца. Значит отец говорящего - единственный в округе инженер, сам он - самая важная персона в медицине, а его сестра вышла замуж за единственного в городе грузина.
