Методические рекомендации для студентов

Настоящее учебно-методическое пособие предназначено для студентов I-II курсов заочного отделения неязыковых факультетов вузов. Представленный материал подобран с учетом требований программы для студентов дистанционной формы обучения высших учебных заведений, которая, в основном, предусматривает самостоятельные занятия студентов.

Цель пособия - контроль знания материала по предмету, пройденного за четыре семестра.

Задачи, которые решают авторы пособия, заключаются в следующем: 1) контроль лексико-грамматических навыков; 2) контроль навыков чтения, понимания и перевода иноязычных текстов; 3) контроль навыков устной речи.

Первый раздел учебно-методического пособия состоит из четырех контрольных работ, по одной для каждого семестра. Перед контрольной работой дается перечень грамматического материала, который должен быть усвоен студентом-заочником при выполнении контрольной работы. Контрольная работа включает лексико-грамматические упражнения.

Второй раздел включает тексты, предназначенные для студентов различных направлений.  Самостоятельная работа над чтением, переводом и анализом этих текстов позволяет студентам подготовиться к итоговому письменному экзамену (перевод на русский язык иноязычного текста). Тексты необходимо перевести устно с опорой на свой словарь.

В текстах и упражнениях пособия использованы как адаптированные, так и неадаптированные материалы из периодической и учебной литературы, издающейся на английском языке в России, а также из учебников, пособий и энциклопедий на английском языке, изданных в Великобритании и США.

Обратите внимание, что для выполнения контрольной работы № 4 необходимо выбрать блок текстов, соответствующий укрупненной группе направлений (экономические направления, туризм и гостеприимство, технические направления).

Третий раздел предназначен для развития навыков устной речи. Весь материал, предлагаемый для изучения в семестре, должен быть выучен наизусть. Эти тематически подобранные клишированные фразы позволят объясниться в стандартных ситуациях общения.

Перед выполнением контрольной работы студенту необходимо подробно изучить грамматический материал, для чего даётся список рекомендуемой литературы по грамматике английского языка. При переводе текстов следует использовать англо-русский словарь.

Письменные работы студентов должны отвечать следующим требованиям:

Первую страницу тетради оставляют чистой для рецензии преподавателя. В тетради должны быть поля для замечаний и рекомендаций рецензентов.

Задания необходимо переписывать в тетрадь.

При выполнении лексико-грамматических упражнений каждое предложение нужно переписать в тетрадь и письменно перевести на русский язык. Каждое предложение следует писать с новой строки: английское предложение - на левой, а его перевод - на правой стороне страницы тетради.

Проверенная контрольная работа должна быть исправлена студентом согласно указаниям рецензента, а недостаточно усвоенные темы семестра дополнительно проработаны перед устным зачетом.

Студенты, не получившие зачет по контроль

ной работе, не допускаются к зачету (или к экзамену) за соответствующий учебный семестр.

На зачете/экзамене студент устно защищает контрольную работу.

Помимо выполнения контрольной работы, к зачету/экзамену необходимо подготовиться по разделам 2 (Чтение) и 3 (Развитие навыков устной речи) за соответствующий семестр.

Text 1.GreatBritain

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated off the Northwest coast of Europe. The UK consists of four parts. They are: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK lies on the British Isles. There are some 5.5000 islands. The two main islands are: Great Britain and Ireland. They are separated from the continent by the English Channel and the Strait of Dover. The west coast of the country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea, the east coast is washed by the North Sea. The area of the UK is some 244,100 km2. Its population is over 57 million people.

English is the official language, but it is not the only language which people speak in the country.

Britain has been many centuries in the making. The Romans conquered most part of Britain, but were unable to subdue the independent tribes in the West and in the North. Other invaders were Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Vikings and Normans. For many centuries this country was known simply as England. It had a strong army and navy. It waged numerous colonial wars. In the modern world England was the first country, where capitalism was established.

Geographically Great Britain is divided into Lowland Britain and Highland Britain. Lowland Britain comprises Southern and Eastern England. Highland Britain includes Scotland, Wales, the Pennines and the Lake District. The highest mountain -- Ben Nevis -- is in Scotland. The flora of the British Isles is much varied and the fauna is similar to that of the north-west of Europe. The country is not very rich in natural resources. There are many rivers in Great Britain. The Severn is the longest river, the Thames is the most important one.

London is the capital of the UK. It was founded by the Romans. The population of London is over 8 million people. The largest cities of Great Britain besides London are: Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh.

Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy. The powers of the British Queen are limited by Parliament. The British Parliament consists of the sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has always played an important role in world politics.

Text 2. London

London was founded in the first century AD by the Romans. They left London in the 5th century and the city was largely abandoned. By the 8th century London was again a busy trading centre, and in the 11th century it became the capital of England. Edward the Confessor built a palace and an abbey at Westminster. The Norman period saw the construction of the Tower, old St.Paul's Cathedral and many churches and monasteries.

Medieval London grew in importance as a trading centre and in 1215 its citizens won the right to elect their own leader, or Lord of Mayor. London began to spread beyond the city walls during the Tudor and Stuart periods. The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed three-quarters of the city. Sir Christopher Wren rebuilt St.Paul's Cathedral and designed 51 churches. The rebuilding of London followed the medieval street plan, but the old wooden houses were replaced by buildings of brick to reduce the future fire risk.

During the 19th century London spread rapidly into the suburbs. As a result of it new forms of transport were developed, including the underground railway system. Britain was then at the height of her Imperial Powers and this is expressed in such buildings as the Houses of Parliament and St. Pancras Station.

Large areas of London were destroyed by bombs during World War II and the rebuilding that followed was of mixed quality.

Today in its full extent greater London covers 625 square miles and consists of 33 separate boroughs, including the City, the West End, the East End and houses 7 million people.

The City extends over an area of about 2,6 square kilometers in the heart of London. About half a million people work there, but less than 6000 live there. It is the financial centre of the UK with many banks, offices and the Stock Exchange.

All the historical places and famous parks are in the West End. The West End, spreading from the political centre at Westminster includes the shopping area of Knightsbridge, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus and the fashionable Covent Garden: it hosts museums and galleries, among them are the Tate Gallery, the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the British Museum. In the West End there are Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace. The best known streets are: Whitehall with important Government offices, Downing Street, the residence of the Prime Minister and Fleet Street which stands for the press.

The name `West End' is associated with wealth, luxury and goods of high quality.

The port of London is in the east End. It is an area of dock, unattractive in appearance, but very important in the country's commerce.

Education

Text 1. Work and Play

A day at school with Alice

Alice goes to Kingsland Secondary School in Bristol, England. This is a typical Tuesday...

'Our class teacher, Mrs Ghani, does the register at 9 o'clock. She's also our Maths teacher. She's nice, but she often gets angry about stupid little things, like uniform.

'Assembly is in the school hall. The head teacher, Mr Barry Simmons, talks to the whole school. He is sometimes very funny. We call him 'Big Barry'. And 'Mr. Simmons' of course, when we speak to him!

Tuesday is a good day. We have my two favourite subjects - Music and Art. The first period is music. Most of the class do singing in the hall, but I am in the band. So I play electric guitar in a special music studio. We play really loudly - it's great!

'Period 2 is Maths. I was good at Maths last year, but this year it's very difficult, and Mrs Ghani is impatient.

'After break we have two periods of English. The first half hour is boring - we always do spelling and punctuation (my spelling is terrible!). But then we do literature. At the moment we're doing Shakespeare's The Tempest - it's very interesting.

'From 2 o'clock to 3.30, we have Art. I love drawing and painting, and I'm the best in the class (I think!). The teacher, Miss Terry, is excellent. She wears beautiful colours - completely different from the other teachers!'

Text 3. American Schooling

The American system of education differs somewhat from the systems of other countries. It has certain peculiarities of its own which are closely connected with the specific conditions of life in the New World and the history of American society. There are free, state-supported, public schools which the majority of American children attend. There are also a number of private elementary and secondary schools where a fee is charged for admission and children are accepted or rejected on the basis of an examination. These include many church-supported schools, usually Catholic, which also charge a fee. Most public schools are coeducational, that is, girls and boys study together, but a lot of the church-supported schools are for boys or girls only.

Under the United States Constitution the federal government has no power to make laws in the field of education. Thus, education remains primarily a function of the states. Each state has a Board of Education (usually 3 to 9 members elected by the public or appointed by the governor), not subject to federal control. State laws determine the age of compulsory education, the length of the school year, the way in which teachers shall be certified and many of the courses that must be taught. With so much local control there is some degree of uniformity of education provided in different parts of the USA, because state and national accrediting agencies insist that certain standards be maintained and certain things be taught.

Education is compulsory for every child from the age of 6 up to the age of 16 except in Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota and Pennsylvania where it is compulsory to the age of 17 and in Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah where children must go to school until the age of 18.

Elementary (primary) and secondary (high) schools are organized on one of two bases: eight years of elementary school and four years of secondary school, or six years of elementary, three years of junior high school and three years of senior high school .

Elementary school children in the US learn much the same things as do children of the same age in other countries. The program of studies includes English (reading, writing, spelling , grammar, composition), arithmetic (sometimes elementary algebra or plane geometry in upper grades , geography, history of the USA, and elementary natural science. Physical training, music, drawing are also taught. Some schools teach a modern language, such as French, Spanish, or German.

The junior high school is a sort of halfway between elementary and secondary school. It continues some elementary school subjects, but it also introduces courses in mathematics and science, and usually gives students their first chance to study a foreign language. It usually comprises grades seven, eight and nine, although sometimes it is only grades seven and eight.

The high school prepares young people either for work immediately after graduation or for more advanced study in a college or university. Although there are some technical, vocational and specialized high schools in the United States the typical high school is comprehensive in nature. The subjects studied in elementary school are dealt with in greater detail and in more advanced form in high school. In addition one can specialize in home economics, chemistry and physics, music, humanities, automobile mechanics, etc. High school students study 4-5 major subjects a year and classes in each of them meet for an hour a day, five days a week.

The United States have the shortest school year in the world, an average of 180 days.

An important part of high school life is what is called extracurricular activities. The student is free to join a chorus, band or school orchestra; enter the debating team, or participate in sports of all kinds as well as a variety of social activities.

The fundamental task the US faces today is the modernization of the entire school system. It is not only to provide more and better schools, but also to re-examine the contents of the education and to bring it into line with modern requirements.

publicschool-- государственная школа

Board of Education-- (местный) отдел народного образования

accrediting agencies-- учреждения, определяющие требования по аттестации знаний учащихся

junior high school-- неполная (младшая) средняя школа

senior high school-- полная (старшая) средняя школа

spelling-- правописание, орфография

grade -- класс (в школе)

By Tamara Henry

USA TODAY

Talented and gifted students in the USA aren't challenged, are bored and are often ill-prepared for the workforce, says an Education Department report out today.

Students lag behind those in other countries while the United States is ``squandering one of its most precious resources'', the report says.

The department's Pat O'Connell Ross told the National Association for Gifted Children conference in Atlanta Thursday that educators tend to focus most of their attention on the needs of average students or slow learners.

Little is done to accommodate the needs of gifted children, she said.

Talented and gifted children typically excel in math, writing, dance, history, athletics or any other intellectual or artistic endeavors that are complex, difficult and novel.

In 1990 38 states served more than 2 million gifted students at all levels.

The USA has an ``ambivalence toward intellectual accomplishment'', Ross says. ``We have names for kids that we think are too smart'' -- nerd or dweeb.

Fred Brown, principal of Boyer-town Elementary School in Pennsylvania, says gifted children often aren't seen as having special needs.

Also Brown says, ``there is a problem with limited funds'', with gifted programs often getting ``leftovers''.

Compared with top students in other countries, the report shows the USA's brightest students are undistinguished at best and poor at worst.

-- U.S. seniors taking Advanced Placement courses in science were last in biology compared with top students in 13 other countries: 11th out of 13 in chemistry and ninth out of 13 in physics.

-- In math, the top 1% of U.S. students ranked 13th out of 13 in algebra and 12th of 13 geometry and calculus.

When comparing U.S. and Japanese high school seniors enrolled in college preparatory math classes, Japanese students at the 50th percentile scored slightly higher than the top fifth of U.S. students.

People And Places

BEFORE COLUMBUS

When Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, he thought he had landed in the East Indies in Asia, so he called the people there 'Indians'. In fact, they were Native Americans, who had arrived in the Americas over 40.000 years before him.

At that time, Native Americans lived all over North America. Many of them lived in small groups of about 20-50 people. Most of them were very peaceful people, who lived by hunting and collecting food. Other Native Americans lived in small villages where they had farms. The Native Americans were the first people to cultivate many of the plants that we now eat: potatoes, beans, maize, tomatoes, pineapples, cacao and many more. There were thousands of different languages and tribes, each with its own culture.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPEANS

When the Europeans arrived, they tried to take land away from the Native Americans and there were many wars. Millions of Native Americans also died from the diseases that the Europeans brought with them. As the Europeans took control over the eastern part of North America, the Native Americans had to move to the west in order to survive. After the United States became independent, white Americans moved further west into the lands where Native Americans lived, and there were many battles - as we can see in the 'cowboys and Indians' films. Then, starting in 1830, the US Government forced the Native Americans to move even further west into 'reservations'. The Native Americans fought against this, and for many years there were wars against the white Americans, ending with the massacre of Sioux men, women and children at Wounded Knee in 1890.

People And Science

Text 1. Thomas Alva Edison

(1847-1931)

Thomas Alva Edison first went to school at the age of eight and a half. But after only three months his teacher called him 'stupid', and he came home crying. From then on, his mother taught him at home, and he read science books by himself.

At the age of twelve he had a job selling newspapers. He made money in a clever but simple way. He checked the news stories first. When the news was interesting, he took a lot of papers; when it was boring, he took only a few.

He got a job sending telegraph messages. Then he started inventing things. He saw ways to make the telegraph system quicker. Later he made a better microphone for Bell's invention, the telephone.

In 1877 he made a 'phonograph' - the first ever sound recorder. The following year he invented the light bulb. In 1889 he made a 'kinetoscope' - a moving picture machine. He also made films for his new machine. In 1903 he made The Great Train Robbery, at that time the world's longest film. (It was ten minutes long!)

After more than one thousand inventions, Edison died at the age of eighty-four. In his honour, they switched off the lights all over America.

Text 1. Economics

Economics (from the Greek "household management") is a social science that studies the production, distribution, trade and consumption of goods and services.

Economics, which focuses on measurable variables, is broadly divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which deals with individual agents, such as households and businesses, and macroeconomics, which considers the economy as a whole, in which case it considers aggregate supply and demand for money, capital and commodities. Aspects receiving particular attention in economics are resource allocation, production, distribution, trade, and competition. Economic logic is increasingly applied to any problem that involves choice under scarcity or determining economic value. Mainstream economics focuses on how prices reflect supply and demand, and uses equations to predict consequences of decisions.

 The fundamental assumption underlying traditional economic theory is the utility-maximizing rule.

 

Text 2. Tax

A tax is a compulsory charge or other levy imposed on an individual or a legal entity by a state or a functional equivalent of a state (e.g., tribes, secessionist movements or revolutionary movements). Taxes could also be imposed by a subnational entity.

Taxes may be paid in cash or in kind or as corvee labor. In modern capitalist taxation systems, taxes are designed to encourage the most efficient circulation of goods and services and are levied in cash. In kind and corvee taxation are characteristic of traditional or pre-capitalist states and their functional equivalents. The means of taxation, and the uses to which the funds raised through taxation should be put, are a matter of hot dispute in politics and economics, so discussions of taxation are frequently tendentious.

Public finance is the field of political science and economics that deals with taxation.

HISTORY OF TAXATION

Political authority has been used to raise capital throughout history. In many pre-monetary societies, such as the Incan empire, taxes were owed in labor. Taxation in labor was the basis of the Feudal system in medieval Europe.

In more sophisticated economies such as the Roman Empire, tax farming developed, as the central powers could not practically enforce their tax policy across a wide realm. The tax farmers were obligated to raise large sums for the government, but were allowed to keep whatever else they raised.

Many Christians have understood the New Testament to support the payment of taxes, through Jesus's words "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's".

There were certain times in the Middle Ages where the governments did not explicitly tax, since they were self-supporting, owning their own land and creating their own products. The appearance of doing without taxes was however illusory, since the government's (usually the Crown's) independent income sources depended on labor enforced under the feudal system, which is a tax exacted in kind.

Many taxes were originally introduced to fund wars and are still in place today, such as those raised by the American government during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Income tax was first introduced into Britain in 1798 to pay for weapons and equipment in preparation for the Napoleonic wars and into Canada in 1917 as a "temporary" tax under the Income War Tax Act to cover government expenses resulting from World War I.

The current income tax in America was set up by Theodore Roosevelt in 1913. It was called The Federal Income Tax and was deducted from incomes at rates varying from 1-7%. But, since then, the American Tax Code has been modified and new taxes have been added, especially over the World War I and II periods. Since World War II, the American Tax Code has increased in size four-fold.

Text 3. Profit

The pursuit and realization of profit is an essential characteristic of capitalism. Profit is derived by selling a product for more than the cost required to produce or acquire it. Some consider the pursuit of profit to be the essence of capitalism. Sociologist and economist, Max Weber, says that "capitalism is identical with the pursuit of profit, and forever renewed profit, by means of conscious, rational, capitalistic enterprise". However, it is not a unique characteristic for capitalism, some practiced profitable barter and monetary profit has been known since antiquity.

Opponents of capitalism often protest that private owners of capital do not remunerate laborers the full value of their production but keep a portion as profit, claiming this to be exploitative. However, defenders of capitalism argue that when a worker is paid the wage for which he agreed to work, there is no exploitation, especially in a free market where no one else is making an offer more desirable to the worker; that "the full value of a worker's production" is based on his work, not on how much profit is created, something that depends almost entirely on factors that are independent of the worker's performance; that profit is a critical measure of how much value is created by the production process; that the private owners are the ones who should decide how much of the profit is to be used to increase the compensation of the workers (which they often do, as bonuses); and that profit provides the capital for further growth and innovation.

Text 4. Plastic Money

Plastic money is the name given to all types of plastic money, which are used in place of cash. There are different names for these cards but in general they have two main purposes: to enable people to obtain cash; or to make payments without using cash or cheques.

Banks now make available to their customers a single card which does three things: it guarantees cheques; it obtains cash from automatic machines, and it pays for goods. The fourth use of the plastic card is to give customers credit when they purchase goods or services.

Credit cards are issued by credit card companies such as Access, MasterCard, Visa, American Express. Some others are owned by banks. There are debit cards and credit cards.

The latest development of the plastic money is the Smart Card.

Cash dispenser, automatic teller machine, are some of the names given to machines from which customers can withdraw money from their bank accounts, using their cash cards. They can do this at any branch of their bank and the branches of other banks that are linked to their bank.

With the cash card, customers also receive a PIN or a personal identification number which they should memorize. When using the dispenser, customers insert their card and key the PIN number in it. By following a clear set of instructions which appear on video screen, they can withdraw cash up to a certain limit, check the balance of their account or deposit money.

Text 1.Tourism

Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure, or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2011, there were over 983 million international tourist arrivals worldwide, representing a growth of 4.6% when compared to 940 million in 2010. International tourism receipts (the travel item of the balance of payments) grew to US$1.03 trillion (?740 billion) in 2011, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 3.8% from 2010. In 2011, international travel demand continued to recover from the losses resulting from the late 2000s recession, where tourism suffered a strong slowdown from the second half of 2008 through the end of 2009. After a 5% increase in the first half of 2008, growth in international tourist arrivals moved into negative territory in the second half of 2008, and ended up only 2% for the year, compared to a 7% increase in 2007. The negative trend intensified during 2009, exacerbated in some countries due to the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus, resulting in a worldwide decline of 4.2% in 2009 to 880 million international tourists arrivals, and a 5.7% decline in international tourism receipts.

Tourism is important, and in some cases, vital for many countries. It was recognized in the Manila Declaration on World Tourism of 1980 as "an activity essential to the life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural, educational, and economic sectors of national societies and on their international relations." Tourism brings in large amounts of income in payment for goods and services available, accounting for 30% of the world's exports of services, and 6% of overall exports of goods and services. It also creates opportunities for employment in the service sector of the economy, associated with tourism. These service industries include transportation services, such as airlines, cruise ships, and taxicabs; hospitality services, such as accommodations, including hotels and resorts; and entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, casinos, shopping malls, music venues, and theatres.

Text 2. Recent developments

There has been an up-trend in tourism over the last few decades, especially in Europe, where international travel for short breaks is common. Tourists have a wide range of budgets and tastes, and a wide variety of resorts and hotels have developed to cater for them. For example, some people prefer simple beach vacations, while others want more specialized holidays, quieter resorts, family-oriented holidays or niche market-targeted destination hotels.

The developments in technology and transport infrastructure, such as jumbo jets, low-cost airlines and more accessible airports have made many types of tourism more affordable. On 28 April 2009 The Guardian noted that "the WHO estimates that up to 500,000 people are on planes at any time." There have also been changes in lifestyle, for example some retirement-age people sustain year round tourism. This is facilitated by internet sales of tourist services. Some sites have now started to offer dynamic packaging, in which an inclusive price is quoted for a tailor-made package requested by the customer upon impulse.

There have been a few setbacks in tourism, such as the September 11 attacks and terrorist threats to tourist destinations, such as in Bali and several European cities. Also, on 26 December 2004, a tsunami, caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, hit the Asian countries on the Indian Ocean, including the Maldives. Thousands of lives were lost including many tourists. This, together with the vast clean-up operations, stopped or severely hampered tourism in the area for a time.

The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context, travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey. The terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used pejoratively, to imply a shallow interest in the cultures or locations visited by tourists.

Text 3.Sustainable tourism

"Sustainable tourism is envisaged as leading to management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems." (World Tourism Organization)

Sustainable development implies "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)

Sustainable tourism can be seen as having regard to ecological and socio-cultural carrying capacities and includes involving the community of the destination in tourism development planning. It also involves integrating tourism to match current economic and growth policies so as to mitigate some of the negative economic and social impacts of 'mass tourism'. Murphy (1985) advocates the use of an 'ecological approach', to consider both 'plants' and 'people' when implementing the sustainable tourism development process. This is in contrast to the ' boosterism' and ' economic' approaches to tourism planning, neither of which consider the detrimental ecological or sociological impacts of tourism development to a destination.

However, Butler questions the exposition of the term 'sustainable' in the context of tourism, citing its ambiguity and stating that "the emerging sustainable development philosophy of the 1990s can be viewed as an extension of the broader realization that a preoccupation with economic growth without regard to its social and environmental consequences is self-defeating in the long term." Thus 'sustainable tourism development' is seldom considered as an autonomous function of economic regeneration as separate from general economic growth.

Методические рекомендации для студентов

Настоящее учебно-методическое пособие предназначено для студентов I-II курсов заочного отделения неязыковых факультетов вузов. Представленный материал подобран с учетом требований программы для студентов дистанционной формы обучения высших учебных заведений, которая, в основном, предусматривает самостоятельные занятия студентов.

Цель пособия - контроль знания материала по предмету, пройденного за четыре семестра.

Задачи, которые решают авторы пособия, заключаются в следующем: 1) контроль лексико-грамматических навыков; 2) контроль навыков чтения, понимания и перевода иноязычных текстов; 3) контроль навыков устной речи.

Первый раздел учебно-методического пособия состоит из четырех контрольных работ, по одной для каждого семестра. Перед контрольной работой дается перечень грамматического материала, который должен быть усвоен студентом-заочником при выполнении контрольной работы. Контрольная работа включает лексико-грамматические упражнения.

Второй раздел включает тексты, предназначенные для студентов различных направлений.  Самостоятельная работа над чтением, переводом и анализом этих текстов позволяет студентам подготовиться к итоговому письменному экзамену (перевод на русский язык иноязычного текста). Тексты необходимо перевести устно с опорой на свой словарь.

В текстах и упражнениях пособия использованы как адаптированные, так и неадаптированные материалы из периодической и учебной литературы, издающейся на английском языке в России, а также из учебников, пособий и энциклопедий на английском языке, изданных в Великобритании и США.

Обратите внимание, что для выполнения контрольной работы № 4 необходимо выбрать блок текстов, соответствующий укрупненной группе направлений (экономические направления, туризм и гостеприимство, технические направления).

Третий раздел предназначен для развития навыков устной речи. Весь материал, предлагаемый для изучения в семестре, должен быть выучен наизусть. Эти тематически подобранные клишированные фразы позволят объясниться в стандартных ситуациях общения.

Перед выполнением контрольной работы студенту необходимо подробно изучить грамматический материал, для чего даётся список рекомендуемой литературы по грамматике английского языка. При переводе текстов следует использовать англо-русский словарь.

Письменные работы студентов должны отвечать следующим требованиям:

Первую страницу тетради оставляют чистой для рецензии преподавателя. В тетради должны быть поля для замечаний и рекомендаций рецензентов.

Задания необходимо переписывать в тетрадь.

При выполнении лексико-грамматических упражнений каждое предложение нужно переписать в тетрадь и письменно перевести на русский язык. Каждое предложение следует писать с новой строки: английское предложение - на левой, а его перевод - на правой стороне страницы тетради.

Проверенная контрольная работа должна быть исправлена студентом согласно указаниям рецензента, а недостаточно усвоенные темы семестра дополнительно проработаны перед устным зачетом.

Студенты, не получившие зачет по контроль

ной работе, не допускаются к зачету (или к экзамену) за соответствующий учебный семестр.

На зачете/экзамене студент устно защищает контрольную работу.

Помимо выполнения контрольной работы, к зачету/экзамену необходимо подготовиться по разделам 2 (Чтение) и 3 (Развитие навыков устной речи) за соответствующий семестр.
