Учебно-методический комплекс дисциплины «Иностранный язык (английский)» предназначен для студентов ИФМИП Новосибирского государственного педагогического университета, обучающихся по специальности 050301.65 Русский язык и литература и составлен в соответствии с государственным образовательным стандартом профессионального высшего образования, в котором иностранный язык представлен как общегуманитарная дисциплина. При составлении УМКД учтены рекомендации учебнометодического объединения по лингвистическому образованию при Министерстве образования РФ, изложенные в Примерной программе дисциплины обучения иностранным языкам в вузах неязыковых специальностей. В основе данноо учебно-методического комплекса лежат следующие общие положения: 1) Владение иностранным языком является обязательным компонентом профессиональной подготовки современного специалиста любого профиля. 2) Вузовский курс иностранного языка – звено в цепи системы «школа – вуз – послевузовское образование». 3) Вузовский курс иностранного языка носит коммуникативно-ориентированный и профессионально-направленный характер. Цель курса – приобретение студентами коммуникативной компетенции, уровень которой на отдельных этапах языковой подготовки позволяет использовать иностранный язык практически как в профессиональной (производственной и научной) деятельности, так и для целей самообразования. 4) Курс иностранного языка ставит образовательные и воспитательные цели. Достижение образовательных целей осуществляется в аспекте гуманизации и гуманитаризации высшего образования и означает расширение кругозора студентов, повышение уровня их общей культуры и образования, а также культуры мышления, общения и речи. Реализация воспитательного потенциала иностранного языка проявляется в готовности специалистов содействовать налаживанию межкультурных и научных связей, представлять свою страну на международных конференциях и симпозиумах, относиться с уважением к духовным ценностям других стран и народов. 3 Цель курса иностранного языка для студентов ИФМИП НГПУ, обучающихся по специальности 050301.65 Русский язык и литература, – формирование профессионально ориентированных коммуникативных компетенций и подготовка студентов-филологов к их будущей профессиональной деятельности средствами иностранного языка. Основной задачей обучения является развитие у студентов практических навыков всех видов речевой деятельности (говорения, аудирования, чтения и письма), что предполагает, прежде всего, активизацию лексических и грамматических знаний на основе современных коммуникативных методик, а также овладение новым для студентов регистром речи – языком избранной специальности в устной и письменной формах. Основными принципами обучения иностранному языку являются его целенаправленность и ориентированность на практический результат. Критерием практического владения иностранным языком является уверенное пользование наиболее употребительными и простыми языковыми средствами во всех видах речевой деятельности, и самостоятельная работа с научной литературой на иностранном языке с целью получения профессиональной информации. 4 Министерство образования и науки Российской Федерации Государственное образовательное учреждение высшего профессионального образования «Новосибирский государственный педагогический университет» УТВЕРЖДЕНА Советом факультета ИФМИП __ ________________________ ________________/ Е.Ю.

Материально-техническое обеспечение дисциплины (указываются специализированные лаборатории и классы, основные приборы, установки, стенды) Лингафонный кабинет (ауд. 325). 1) Методические рекомендации по организации изучения дисциплины а) методические рекомендации для студентов Методические рекомендации для студентов представляют собой комплекс разъяснений и указаний, позволяющих студенту наилучшим образом организовать процесс изучения иностранного языка. Обучение иностранному языку должно подготовить будущего специалиста к самостоятельному чтению текстов по специальности с целью извлечения информации. Практические рекомендации для студентов Владение иностранным языком на современном этапе развития общества играет важную роль в формировании личности человека, свидетельствует о его высоком образовательном и культурном уровне. Изучение иностранного языка, с одной стороны, занятие довольно увлекательное, а с другой - очень не простое. Помимо интереса и желания оно требует больших усилий и терпения, значительных временных затрат, постоянной систематической работы. Для организации успешной самостоятельной работы по овладению иностранным языком предлагаем Вам несколько практических советов: 3. Регулярно занимайтесь языком. Не допускайте длительных перерывов, так как процесс забывания иноязычной информации происходит быстрее, чем в родном языке. 4. Составляйте собственный план работы над языком на день, неделю, месяц и старайтесь его выполнять. 5. Фиксируйте свои достижения в изучении иностранного языка. Помните, язык — беспредметен и безграничен, и каждое усвоенное слово или явление языка обогащает Ваши 12 знания. 6. Старайтесь сделать свои занятия разнообразными и интересными, используя различные виды деятельности: работу над произношением, выполнение грамматических упражнений, перевод, чтение вслух, прослушивание аудиокассет, просмотр телепрограмм, видеокассет или дисков с повторением и имитацией диктора, составление небольших ситуаций и рассказов, исполнение песен на иностранном языке и др. 7. Старайтесь больше учить наизусть стихов, песен, считалок, поговорок, диалогов, выражений речевого этикета, фрагментов текстов. Все это тренирует Вашу память, расширяет Ваши знания иностранного языка. 8. Будьте настойчивы и терпеливы в изучении языка. Здесь, как нигде, действует принцип перехода количественных изменений в качественные. Будьте активны, участвуйте во всех мероприятиях на иностранном языке, настраивайтесь на успех и добивайтесь его. Рекомендации по организации работы с аудиотекстом Вся работа с аудиотекстом состоит из трёх этапов: предтекстового, текстового, послетекстового. Основное назначение предтекстового этапа - снятие языковых трудностей. Этап включает следующие задания: Прослушайте текст. Проанализируйте значение отдельных слов и фраз. Переведите наиболее трудные предложения. Выполните тренировочные упражнения на базе текста. Текстовый этап включает прослушивание всего текста и поочерёдно отдельных абзацев, смысловых блоков. В процессе многократного прослушивания текста выполните следующие упражнения: — Подберите к абзацам заглавия. — Перефразируйте отдельные предложения. — Ответьте на вопросы. — Найдите с опорой на русский эквивалент иноязычные фрагменты текста. — Прослушайте текст повторно. — Проанализируйте употребление языковых средств. Послетекстовый этап включает следующие задания: 1. Составьте план пересказа. 2. Перескажите текст. 3. Составьте рассказ по аналогии. 4. Составьте ситуации к тексту. Рекомендации по организации работы с грамматическим материалом 1. Проработайте теоретический материал по теме в учебном пособии. 2. Выделите главные признаки изучаемого грамматического явления. Запишите их в тетрадь. Запомните! 3. Ответьте на контрольные вопросы по теме. 4. Выполните тренировочные упражнения на закрепление изученной темы, придерживаясь следующей последовательности: образование грамматического явления; употребление грамматического явления; перевод с английского на русский и с русского на английский; определение грамматического явления в тексте; проверка усвоения грамматического материала по тесту. Выучите 3 основные формы неправильных глаголов. 13 Рекомендации по организации работы со словарями Из всех типов словарей наиболее необходимым для изучающих иностранный язык является д в у я з ы ч н ы й переводной словарь — англо- русский и русско-английский. Наиболее полные, точные и полезные словари-те, которые выдержали уже не один десяток изданий: Англо-русский словарь п о д р е д . В . К . М ю л л е р а и Р у с с к о - а н г л и й с к и й с л о в а р ь п о д р е д . А. И. Смирницкого. Именно на их базе создан электронный словарь LINGVO (основной). Еще в 70-е годы прошлого века вышло первое издание двухтомного Большого англо-русского словаря под ред. И. Р. Гальперина. Затем вышел большой словарь под ред. Ю. Д. Апресяна (они имеются в продаже на компакт-дисках). Эти большие словари могут пригодиться, если нет под рукой одного или нескольких специализированных словарей, и большой словарь как бы заключает несколько в одном. Современные словари часто имеют «коммерческие» названия: «большой», «новый», «полный», «современный» и т. д. На самом деле эти словари, как правило, уступают названным выше и по объему, и по полноте, и по точности перевода. Большой словарь должен включать не менее 80 000 слов. Студентам неязыковых специальностей может быть достаточно словаря меньшего объёма, но не менее 40 000 слов. Мы рекомендуем пользоваться последними переизданиями старых словарей. Второй тип словарей - это о т р а с л е в ы е словари, например, медицинский, экономический, юридический и т. п. Их электронные аналоги имеются в пакете программ LINGVO и в электронном переводчике PROMT. Существуют специализированные издания, например, словари сокращений, сленга, новых слов и т. п. словари синонимов по-другому называются тезаурусами. Существуют как бумажные, так и электронные тезаурусы, например, Collins. Самый доступный электронный тезаурус (русский и английский) встроен в текстовый редактор WORD. Выделив слово и нажав кнопку, можно выбрать синоним и вставить его в текст. Третий тип - т о л к о в ы е « а н г л о - а н г л и й с к и е » словари. Можно выделить два основных подтипа: учебные и энциклопедические. К первым относится, например, Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, ко второму типу - Collins English Dictionary. В первом словаре даны основные энциклопедические сведения, во втором (учебном) определения проще, меньше значений и больше примеров. Следует учитывать, что словари с пометкой for advanced learners предназначены именно для продвинутого этапа. Они оптимальны для студентов, изучающих английский как специальность. Начинающим лучше выбрать словари для начального уровня. Издательства Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Macmillan, Longman, Collins описывают прежде всего британский вариант английского языка, Webster - самое известное издательство американских словарей. В некоторых словарях (Macmillan, Longman Dictionary of the English Language and Culture) даются основные лингвострановедческие сведения. Изданы и специальные лингвострановедческие словари. Мы рекомендуем словари Г. Д. Томахина. Для студентов они удобны тем, что основная информация дается на русском языке. Самый полный фразеологический словарь английского языка составлен А. В. Куниным. Словари отличаются между собой тем, сколько значений они выделяют у одного слова, рассматривают ли они одинаковые слова как омонимы или как разные значения одного слова. Нужно внимательно прочитать всю словарную статью и определить, какое значение слова подходит по контексту. Например, русское слово «образование» имеет несколько значений. Фразу «начальное образование» следует переводить primary education, «образование слов» word building, «образование нового отдела» -formation of new division. Одна из главных ошибок при переводе - буквализм. «Детективный роман» - не detective novel, a mystery novel. Существует немало слов, которые называют «ложными друзьями переводчика». Например, troops - не «трупы», а «войска», corpse - не «корпус», а «труп». 14 Многоязычные словари 1. 2. 3. 4. http://www.ets.ru/udict-r.htm http://www.ets.ru/abbrdict-r.htm http://www.yourdictionary.com/ http://wo.rdreference.com/ б) методические рекомендации для преподавателей Рекомендации по организации работы с текстами для чтения Чтобы научиться понимать и переводить иноязычный текст, необходимо в первую очередь научиться выделять и понимать содержание на уровне тек ста, абзаца и предложения, а также дифференцировать основную и второстепенную информацию. Основные признаки текста: 1) связность; 2) тематичность (все предложения объединены какой-либо одной темой); 3) цельность (использование средств связи между предложениями). Тема текста. Текст представляет собой сложное суждение, в котором есть текстовый субъект (о чем говорится в тексте?) и текстовый предикат (что говорится в тексте?). Текстовым субъектом является тема текста, которая находит словесное выражение чаще всего в заголовке или в самом начале текста. Текстовый предикат представляет собой группу суждений, раскрывающих тему текста, т. е. сам текст. Главное содержание текста. Понять содержание текста - значит уяснить его тему и идею. Тема текста - это предмет данного описания, т. е. предмет, явление, событие, о которых идет речь в тексте. Идея текста - это главная мысль о данном предмете, авторское отношение к описываемому предмету. Идея текста- это вывод, к которому должен прийти читающий после ознакомления с содержанием текста. Тема часто сообщается в заголовке или в первом предложении текста. Понять идею можно лишь после прочтения всего текста. Иногда она не имеет словесного выражения, тогда читающий должен сам сделать определенные выводы. Основное содержание текста. Для этой цели выделяются элементы, в которых заключена основная смысловая информация текста. Они называются "ключевыми фрагментами" (слово, словосочетание, предложение, группа предложений). Каждый абзац имеет ключевое предложение - "абзацную фразу", если их объединить, то можно получить основное содержание текста. Ключевое предложение может находиться: а) в верхней части абзаца (дедуктивная структура - изложение мысли от общего к частному); б) в нижней части абзаца (индуктивная структура - изложение мысли от частного к общему); в) в верхней и в нижней части (рамочная логическая структура). Другие предложения текста представляют собой способ логического развития мысли в абзаце. Формы передачи информации. Существуют следующие формы передачи информации: сообщение, описание, повествование и рассуждение. Так, ядро самого простого типа информации — сообщения — составляют ответы на следующие вопросы: кто, что, когда, где, как, почему. 15 В текстах психолого-педагогического профиля преобладает тип информации о ситуации или положении дел, а также комбинированный тип информации (сообщение, передача высказывания, информация о событии или факте, о ситуации или положении дел, рассуждение). Основные виды текстов для чтения 1 учебный; 2 художественный (story —рассказ, play — пьеса, novel — роман); 3 научный и научно-популярный (research work — научный труд, theses —диссертация; monograph - монография; reference — статья из справочной литературы; article — журнальная статья; notes — сообщение).

Образцы текстов для чтения и перевода на экзамене в конце IVсеместра WALTER SCOTT Walter Scott was a great writer, the creator of the historical novel. The novels of the "Scottish enchanter", as Alexander Sengeyeyich Pushkin called him, deal with heroic episodes of the past, and with profound changes in the life of the Scottish people and of the whole, of Europe. In some of his works there are fine chapters describing the national liberation struggle. Walter Scott's great talent enormously impressed his contemporaries. Pushkin was one of the first to understand the importance of Scott's novels, and called them "food for the soul". Even in his youth he was thrilled by Walter Scott's novels, and in 1830 wrote an article, stressing the writer's new approach in depicting history. Pushkin thought highly of the Shakespearean tradition of depicting history as seen in Walter Scott's works, and praised the reality of his characters. 22 Other classic Russian writers have highly appraised Walter Scott's Wavertey Novels. Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, for instance, called the famous Scotsman "a great genius".The poet Denis Davydov, one of the organizers of the partisan movement during the Napoleonic invasion of Russia, was in correspondence with Walter Scott, who had sent him his portrait. Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov admitted that he was influenced by the general popularity of Walter Scott in Russia, and portrayed Pechorin in his well-known novel A Hero of Our Time reading a novel by Walter Scott before the duel "carried away by its magic fantasy". Walter Scott's verses have been translated by well-known Russian poets and by many poets in Soviet times. Papers on Walter Scott written by Soviet scholars of literature have received international recognition. A short time ago a new 20-volume edition of the collected works of the novelist came out in the Russian language. The total print of Walter Scott's books published in the Soviet Union runs to over 10 million copies. Walter Scott was closely interested in Russia, her history and her culture. He even started to write the story of Napoleon's 1812 campaign in Russia and there are numerous warm comments of his on Russian heroes of the war, many of whom he met in Paris. Early Russian literature also aroused Walter Scott's interest. He was the first in Britain to read The Lay of Igor's Host and appreciated the artistic mastery of this precious relic of old Russian literature long in advance of others. Soviet people regard the popularity of Walter Scott in our country as a highlight in the history of friendly contacts between the peoples of the USSR and Great Britain. A GLANCE AT THE EARLY HISTORY OF BRITAIN The earliest inhabitants of the British Isles were men of Celtic race. The Celts migrated to Britain from the continent of Europe and were closely connected by political and cultural ties with the Celtic tribes of northern France. These Celts were known as Britons. They lived in clan land were not united. In 55 В. С Britain was invaded by Julius Caesar.4 He revealed the country to the Roman world but he did not conquer it. The conquest of Britain was undertaken later by the Emperor Claudius and was completed by the end of the first century. The Roman occupation lasted for nearly four hundred years, until the beginning of the 5th century and had a great effect on the development of the country. During this period Britain changed greatly. The Romans built roads, walls, cities and baths. They developed trade and agriculture. But they had to keep a large army in readiness to put down rebellions. In the year 410 the Romans were confronted with imminent danger at home and had to recall their legions. The island was left to itself, open to attack from the Scots in the north and to invasion from the continent. The invaders were Angles, Saxons and Jutes, tribes from the continent north of the continent of Europe. The Anglo-Saxon invaders drove the Britons into the mountainous parts of the country in the west. Later this part of Britain became known as Wales and the people were called Welsh. For many years the country was ruined. The towns were destroyed, except, perhaps, London. Everything that remained of Roman culture was destroyed. The agricultural lands again became forest. The invaders set up small kingdoms, among which there was constant war. By the 8th century there were four, which warred against each other. The kingdom of the Angles, Northumbrian was the strongest for a time and from it came England, the name for the whole country. At the end of the 8th century new invaders came to the coasts of Britain. They were the Danes, kinsmen to the Angles and Saxons. They came up the rivers of Northumbria from the North Sea and settled in the land. The Anglo-Saxons fought bravely, but they could not drive them out. But as they were closely related to the English tribes in language and in blood, their presence in the 23 country was at last accepted. They were absorbed in the mass of the people and assimilated. Traces of their language can, however, still be seen in place-names in the northeast of England. England was invaded again in the middle of the 11th century. This time the invaders came from Normandy — the northern part of France. The Normans brought with them their customs and culture, the French language and literature. They were originally of like blood and like speech of the English, but they had become French in manner and. language. In England they felt that the language of the people was familiar to them, and by the 13th century they often spoke and even wrote in English. The effect of the Norman Conquest on the development of the English language, however, was great. EARLY ENGLISH LITERATURE If we wish to trace English literature back to its very beginnings, we must go back to the days of the Angles and Saxons. These men were bold and fearless, they loved fighting and adventure and were not afraid of the perils of the sea. They brought to Britain their sagas in which the supernatural was mixed with the real. The most famous of them was Beowulf, a poem of more than 3000 lines, which included a number of earlier sagas. In about fifty years, beginning with the year 597, when the first missionaries came from Rome, the small Anglo-Saxon kingdoms accepted the Christian religion. Monasteries were built and they became important centres of learning. The first books were written there, records and letters were collected and kept. The first true old English poem appeared in the 7th century in the Anglia kingdom of Northumbria. It was written by a man named Cadmon. He was a servant at a monastery and his songs were religions in essence. His songs were written down by the monks and copied from monastery to monastery. We know of Cadmon from the works of Bede, who was also a Northumbrian, and spent all his life in the same monastery. When he did in 735 at the age of sixty-two, he left forty-five works in which all the knowledge of his time was accumulated. He wrote on theology, philosophy, grammar, rhetoric, medicine, music, astronomy, meteorology and arithmetic. Bede's Ecclesiastical History is the best existing authority for Early England. Then came Cynewulf, who was born in the early 9th century. He was the greatest of the northern singers. Cynewulf was the last of the Northumbrian poets, for the Danish invasion had begun. The monasteries of Northumbria, once centres of European learning, were destroyed and the whole of Northumbria was occupied and settled by the Danes. Learning changed its seat from the North to the South. Alfred, king of Wessex, set up schools in his monasteries. It was in Alfred's reign that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle became a full narrative of events, and was carefully edited. After the Norman Conquest French became the language of the court and the nobles. It was the language of law, of schools and of literature. The Church and science used Latin. English was practically forgotten as a literary language. But dialects of it were spoken by the people, by the peasants. Poems, stories, religious tales were now written not in the standard West-Saxon English of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle but in the dialect of the district where the writer lived. Translations of French poems and stories were very popular. By the middle of the 14th century English was spoken at the king's court and laws were written in English, in the dialect of London, Oxford and Cambridge. The poet Chaucer used this language, which now rose to the dignity of a national tongue. At this time John Wyclif translated the Bible into a dialect of English. It was a great work which helped very much to fix and preserve the words of the English language. 24 THE SEAS Great Britain is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the north, north-west and south-west. From the European continent it is separated by the North Sea, the Straight of Dover (Pas de Calais) and the English Channel (La Manche — a French name meaning «a sleeve»). The North Sea and the English Channel are often called the «Narrow Seas». On the west Great Britain is separated from Ireland by the Irish Sea, the North Channel and St. George's Channel. The most important sea routes pass through the English Channel and the North Sea linking Europe with America. Great Britain is very irregularly shaped, being deeply indented by numerous gulfs of the sea. Owing to the numerous bays and inlets no point in Great Britain is as much as 75 miles (121 km) from the sea. The seas surrounding the British Isles are rather shallow — less than 91 metres because the islands lie on the continental shelf. It can be proved by the fact that to the north-west along the edge of the shelf the sea floor plunges abruptly from 183 metres to 914. The shallow waters are important because they provide excellent fishing grounds as well as breeding grounds for fish. The original connection of the British Isles with the continent can be further proved by the fact that the chalk ridge which ends in the cliffs of Dover reappears on the coast of France opposite, and the position and quality of the coal layers beneath the chalk in Kent have very much in common with those in northern France. Still further proof of the continental origin of the British Isles are the remains of elephants and extinct species of other animals and plants found in Britain. They help to establish the dates when the British Isles became separated from the continent. The remains of elephants prove that the English Channel was formed after these animals had reached the continent. Obviously, in the Ice age the first human inhabitants of Britain were able to migrate from the continent on foot long before man learned boatmaking. CHANNEL TUNNEL The idea of a tunnel under the sea between Britain and France has been put forward a number of times over the last 200 years. Even Napoleon had a plan to dig a tunnel and conquer England. On several occasions, constructions were actually started. One of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the Channel was a French mining engineer, Albert Mathieu by name. His tunnel collapsed. In 1881 Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel. Their tunnel went six km out into the Channel. Queen Victoria stopped them saying it was dangerous to have a link with France. It was a very good tunnel and it still survives today. The latest abandoned project was that of 1975. In 1987 a new Anglo-French group called Eurotunnel was chosen to construct a system which was to link the road and railworks of Britain and France. The «Channel», as it is commonly known, was opened on 6 May 1994. It took 10 years to built it. There are two rail tunnels and a service tunnel, each nearly 50 km long. Lorry and car drivers take their vehicles onto special trains and stay inside their lorries and cars for the 20 minute journey through the tunnel. Foot passengers sit in a normal train compartment. Direct trains already run from London to Paris and Brussels. The high-speed rail track is not due to open until 2002 at the earliest. There is also a possibility that a seperate road tunnel for cars and lorries will be built in the future. The tunnel is the largest undersea tunnel in the world. 25 RIVERS The rivers of Britain are very short. Their direction and character are determined by the position of the mountains. Most of the rivers flow in the eastward direction since the west coast is mountainous. Due to the humid climate the water-level is always high. The rivers seldom freeze in winter, most of them remain ice-free but they are not navigable for ocean ships. The most important rivers are the Severn (354 km), the Thames (346 km), the Trent, the Aire, the Ouse, the Clyde, the Tweed, the Tees, the Tyne, the Tay, the Eden. The Tay is the longest river in Scotland (118-miles). Part of the border between Scotland and England is along the lower reaches of the Tweed, near which the woolen fabric bearing the same name is produced. The Severn flows along the border between England and Wales. One of its tributaries is the Avon with its Stratford, glorified by Shakespeare. The swiftest flowing river in the British Isles is the Spey flowing across the southern Highlands of Scotland. ISLANDS The Isle of White is a part of Hampshire. Since the Victorian times it was adopted as a holiday island and tourism has been its bread and butter ever since. The island, 23 miles from west to east and 13 miles from north to south, is far smaller than Greater London and is known for its beauty and variety of scenery. A morning drive can cover most of the better-known places. In summer the island is crowded with visitors, its safe bathing and enviable sunshine making it ideal for family holidays. Newport is «capital» of the Isle of Wight, standing at the head of the River Medina. It is a market town and its Saturday market has been known since 1184. The main industries are plastics, manufacturing woodwork, milling, brewing and mineral water manufacture. Newport has an excavated Roman villa, and many attractive 17th century houses and a guildhall, designed by the 19th century architect John Nash. Carisbrooke is the old capital of the island, with a mighty 12th century Norman castle, built on the site of a Roman fort. Charles I was imprisoned there in 1647-48, and his son Henry and daughter Elizabeth came as prisoners in 1650. Cowes is Britain's yachting «capital». There is Cowes Castle, built by Henry VIII, and the Royal Yacht Squadron is housed there. Its 22 brass guns stand ready on Victoria Parade to start races and fire Royal Salutes. Osborne House, one mile south-east, was Queen Victoria's home at the time of her death in 1901. Prince Albert and Thomas Cubitt together designed it as an Italian villa. Visitors can see the state and private apartments, furnished as they were in Queen Victoria's time. Nearby is Norris Castle, where the young Princess Victoria frequently stayed with her mother. Ryde is one of the main Gateways to the Isle of Wight, having a half a mile long pier built in 1813. Its electric railway built in 1880 was one of the first in the world. Ryde has 5 miles of excellent sandy beach. The island is known for its St. Catherine's lighthouse, warning ships in the Channel of the coastline's dangers, and for its multi-coloured sandstone. Island souvenirs show their 12 distinct shades of sand. WILDLIFE The fauna of the British Isles is, in general, similar to that of North-western Europe, though there are fewer species. Some of the larger mammals, including the wolf, the bear, the boar and the reindeer, have become extinct. About 50 land mammals are still found in the UK. Different deer (red, roe, fallow) protected for sporting reasons flourish in Scotland and wooden areas of Southern England. The badger is rarely seen but there are many foxes in most rural areas, and otters are 26 found along many rivers and streams. Both common and grey seals may be seen on various parts of the coast. Smaller mammals include mice, rats, voles, shrews, hedgehogs, squirrels, moles. Birds are numerous. About 460 species of birds have been recorded in the British Isles. Some 200 species breed, the rest are regular migrants or pass through the country. Visitors to Britain are often struck by the abundance, variety and tameness of song birds in towns and villages. All British wild birds are protected. The principal exceptions are those considered injurious to agriculture and birds shot for sport in the open season. Fish are numerous, both sea fish and fresh water fish. About 30 kinds of freshwater fish are found in the waters of Great Britain. Salmon, trout, pike, roach, dace, perch and carp are most widely distributed. Reptiles and amphibians are few. But they are plentiful where conditions suit them. There are more than 21000 different kinds of insects, most of them small. Among the largest are the rare swallowtail butterfly (8 to 10 cm) and the stag beetle (6 cm). The insect fauna in Britain is less varied than that of continental Europe and lacks a number of common European species. MIGRATION WAVES From the beginning of the 15th century until the 20th the balance of emigration was markedly outward due to colonial expansions. During the 19th century over 20 mln people left Britain for destinations outside Europe, mainly in the Commonwealth and the United States. But since 1930s the balance of Migration for Britain was inward. Many emigrants began to return. The dismantling of the Empire has been a gradual process accompanied by the great inflow of people to Britain. Right up until 1962 the citizens of the huge area of the former Empire had the automatic right to live and work in Britain. Many Irish people came to England in 1845 to escape famine, to find work. Most of the roads, railways and canals built in the 19th century, were made by Irish workers. The greatest wave of immigration was in the 1950s and 1960s. Many companies needed people for unskilled or semiskilled jobs. Britain advertised and many people came from the Caribbean islands, from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Hong Kong. People came here in search of better life, political or religious freedom. British government and people regarded this as a threat to the health of the nation: it increased unemployment, worsened living conditions. It was in these circumstances that the Government introduced the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 which gave it power to restrict the number of people from the Commonwealth, especially from the Irish Republic. Another Act was passed in 1968 and still another in 1971. The last has sharply reduced the number of people allowed to stay in Britain. Дополнительные тексты для чтения и перевода DENTIFYING THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILD 1. The first step in planning work for the exceptional child is to discover his presence in the classroom. Certain physical handicaps are apparent. Others are easily discovered through the use screening tests, physical examinations,1 and mental tests. Certain children with special health problems or with minor degrees of physical impairment or emotional maladjustment are discovered through observation. 2. Child time is playtime, and the child who is not happy, active, interested is a sick child, men 27 3. 4. 5. 6. tally, physically, or emotionally, or possibly in all three ways.2 In many instances, helping the child to gain and maintain good physical health and stamina3 will result in the elimination or minimizing of his emotional problems. He is then capable of making maximum use of his mental endowments. Hence, a teacher should be so attentive to a child's words and actions that no sign of physical or emotional difficulty will escape her. A child's drowsiness, excessive thirst or frequent trips to the toilet, complaints of aches and pains in arms or legs may indicate the beginning of a serious health problem. If these symptoms are investigated early and their causes treated adequately, a long period of severe and devastating illness may be prevented. A child who cries easily, one who is always tired and languid, one who is cross, irritable, and not co-operative is trying in his way to tell of him physical needs and troubles. Sometimes glassy and at other times dull eyes, lusterless hair, pale 01 heightened facial colour, scaly or dry skin may also indicate the need for attention. The slightest sign of trouble in a child should be observed by the teacher and, if the conditior seems persistent or acute, it should be reported to the school nurse for immediate attention. Under no circumstances should the teacher diagnose or prescribe treatment. By her alertness in observing symptoms of illness and promptness in reporting her observations the teacher will do her part tо stop serious sickness. The teacher should know what facilities and services are available in the country, and state for diagnosis and treatment of handicapped children and what procedure should be used in referring children to the proper agency. If the school district does not employ a school nurse, the responsibility of seeing that such children are referred to an agency that can assist the parents may devolve upon the teacher. The teacher should also know where she can obtain assistance in planning activities and adjusting the curriculum to help the exceptional children enrolled in her class. THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF THE SOVIET AND ENGLISH SYSTEM OF EDUCATION 1. It has become a tradition for the children of our country to bring flowers to school on the first of September. Both for teachers and schoolchildren the beginning of a new year is a red-letter day.1 2. All those who have 8-year schooling will either be staying on at school or will pursue their education at technicums and vocational technical schools. 3. For some time it has been sought by our teachers, specialists in pedagogics and psychology to bring the curricula in line with technology and culture. The commission which was set up some years ago, found it possible to change over from four-year primary school to 3 year. It being known that the curriculum of the primary school includes foundations of algebra and geometry. Before this reform began to be implemented in broad scales, experiments had been concluded in separate schools. 4. Rudiments of science" are taught already in the fourth form. New school curricula envisage also the instruction of the elements of higher mathematics, geometry, genetics in the senior classes of secondary schools. 5. Our school-graduates needn't worry about jobs. The graduates are so much in demand, that it's out of the question that someone of them remains without work. 6. And now it would be interesting to compare the Soviet system of education with that of Eng land. 7. To begin with, in Britain school starts at the age of five. Between the age of 5 and 7 children go to infant school, and between the age of 7 to 11 to junior school. 8. Until recently all children at the age of 10 or 11 had to take examination which determined their future. Those who failed in their 11-plus exams were considered to be "nongrammar types" 28 and had to go to modern schools. And that means no General Certificate of Education 3 (GCE) and no college education. And it's only natural that children from a background of poverty and unemployment should be less developed at this early stage than their luckier schoolmates from middle-class background. 9. They don't have a unified system of secondary education in Britain. Until some time ago they had a tripartite system: that is modern schools, grammar schools and technical schools. There are big differences in the time devoted by each type of school to the same subjects. As a result of selective education children of poor families are deprived of the chance to catch up later. For it is much easier to gain a university place if you have attended a grammar school. 10. Thus, it turns out, that though the compulsory school age is the same for all children, practically the level of the child's knowledge depends on the type of school. The answer to this is com prehensive schooling. A comprehensive school is a school for all pupils of secondary school age in a school district. These schools should cover all the work done in grammar, modern and technical schools. They offer a wide range of general and vocational subjects. 11. It should be noted, that there is no general leaving examinations in Britain, but children who enter grammar schools are expected to sit for their GCE exams on the ordinary level soon after their 16th birthday. 12. The stage is now set for the education reform to be carried through to finality in the near fu ture. It is quite usual for children from the middle and upper classes in Britain to follow an educational career, for they usually have full-time schooling and have no trouble entering the university. Indeed there is every reason for upper classes to claim that education has become more available in Britain than it used to be. But in fact, the children from working background have been waiting for equal opportunities with those of the upper class already for ages. GEORGE GORDON BYRON 1. George Gordon Byron was born in London, on January 22, 1788. His father, an army officer. died when the future poet was three years old. Byron spent the first ten years of his life in Scotland. He attended Grammar school' in Aberdean. In 1798 George's grand-uncle died and the boy inherited the title of baron. Then he was sent to Harrow School. At seventeen he entered Cambridge University. 2. While a student Byron published his first collection of poems "Hours of Idleness" (1807). It was attacked by a well-known critic who suggested that Byron should not write any more poems in future. In 1808 Byron graduated from the University and received his Master of Arts degree, and next year took his hereditary seat in the House of Lords. In 1812 Byron made his first speech in the House of Lords. He spoke in defence of the English proletariat and blamed the Government for the unbearable conditions of the life of the workers. 3. In 1816 he wrote his "Song for the Luddites" in which he raised his voice in defence of the oppressed workers, encouraging them to fight for freedom. When the first two cantos of "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" were published, they were received with enthusiasm by his contemporaries and Byron became famous. Between 1813 and 1816 Byron composed his "Oriental Tales", "The Corsair", "Lara" and others. The hero of each poem is a rebel against society. He is proud and independent and rises against tyranny and injustice to gain his personal freedom and happiness. But his revolt is too individualistic and therefore it is doomed to failure.3 4. In 1816 he left for Switzerland. There he wrote his dramatic poem "Manfred" (1817). In 1817 he left for Italy. The Italian period (1817—1823) influenced by revolutionary ideas may be considered to be the summit of Byron's poetical career. In "Don Juan" (1819— 1824) he depicts Europe in the 19th century and gives a broad panorama of contemporary life. 29 The War of Greece against the Turks attracted his attention. Byron longed for action and went to Greece to take part in the straggle for national independence. Soon after his arrival he was seized with fever and died in 1824 at the age of 36. CHARLES DICKENS Charles Dickens, a great English writer, was born on the 7th of February, 1812, in a small English town. He was a weak child and didn't like to take part in noisy and active games. The little boy was very clever and learnt to read at an early age. He read a lot of books in his childhood. When he was about six, someone took him to theatre for the first time. He saw a play by Shakespeare and liked it so mush that he decided to write a play of his own. When it was ready, he performed it with some of his friends. Everybody enjoyed the performance, and the little writer felt very happy. When Dickens was nine years old, the family moved to London where they lived in an old house in the suburbs. They had a very hard life. There were several younger children in the family besides Charles. The future writer couldn't even go to school, because at that time his father was in the Marshalsea Debtor's Prison. There was nobody in London to whom Mr. Dickens could go for money, and his wife with all the children except Charles went to join him in the prison. The family lived there until Mr. Dickens could pay his debts. Those were the most unhappy days of all Charles' life. The boy worked from early morning till late at night to help his family. Charles was only able to start going to school when he was nearly twelve, and his father was out of prison. He very much wanted to study, but he didn't finish his schooling. After two years of school he began working again. He had to work hard to earn his living, and tried very many trades, but he did not like any of them. His ambition was to study and become a well-educated man. At the age of fifteen he often went to the famous library of British Museum. He spent a lot of time in the library readingroom. He read and studied there and in this way he got an education. Later Dickens described his childhood and youth in some of his famous novels, among them «Little Dorrit» and «David Copperfield». THE BRONTE FAMILY The story of the famous and talented Bronte family is strange and unusual. The Bronte children - five girls and a boy - lived with their father and aunt in Yorkshire. All the children were in poor health. Two of the girls died while they were still at school Bramwell. The boy was good at writing poetry but he died at the age of 31. Anne, who wrote poetry and two novels, died at 29. Emily, who became world famous as the author of «Wuthering Heights», died a year after the book was published in 1847. Charlotte, the author of the wonderful novel «Jane Eyre», was the only one strong enough to go out into the world and live her own life for a while. But even she died at the early age of 39. It was nearly impossible to believe that these wonderful books were written by young women who had not seen anything of the world except the life of their own family. Nobody knew that the Bronte children had learned to write stories while they were playing. They didn't like to play noisy games. The game they liked best of all was writing little stories of their own. All this was only found out in 1930 by an American university librarian who studied some of the toys and handwritten little books found in the house the Bronte family had lived. FROM THE HISTORY OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE 30 The first attempts to create a literary language date from the 1 lth century. The development of a Russian literary language was complicated by the parallel existence of the Church Slavonic literary language which was closely related to Russian. The Russia literary language began very early to become a common language for all Eastern Slavs. The struggle and interaction between the Russian and the Church Slavonic literary languages resulted in the domination of Church Slavonic in the fifteenth century, while literary Russian was retained only in ukazes, correspondence, memoirs. Fiction and all the orthodox literature of that period were written in Church Slavonic. The final standardization of the Russian literary language is linked with the name of. M.V. Lomonosov, the founder of Russian linguistics, who laid down the rules of literary language in his Russian Grammar. The basic of this new literary language was the old Russian literary language enriched by the addition of words from European and church Slavonic languages. The mixture of these languages is clear from the vocabulary of the first six-volume academic Slavonic and Russian Dictionary. The Russian poet Karamzin and his literary heirs, especially Pushkin, refined the Russian literary language still further. In 1817 a bitter controversy was raging between the followers of Shishkov and Karamzin concerning the proper language of literature, Shishkov championed the superiority of Church-Slavic over the language of common people, as well as over the Frenchified speech of cultivated Russians. Pushkin wages a vigorous campaign in behalf of the language which he himself used with unequalled power and beauty - the autochthonous speech of the Russian people. The spoken language of the Moscow region (the basic of the Russian literary language) became a common language for the Russian nation. LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGE TEACHING The language teacher's aim in regard to a language is not the same as the aim of a descriptive linguist. The teacher is not simply concerned with its systematic description and analysis, but with facilitating the acquisition of a language other than their mother tongue by other people. Linguists describe and analyse many languages that will never be taught to others. They may even be on the verge of extinction; indeed, books, texts, or even languages themselves, which are utterly irrelevant to the teacher, may make it of especial interest to the general linguist. But it is to be hoped and believed that the techniques and methods of scientific linguistics will aid and improve the work of the language teacher. Linguistic science has been stimulated and nourished all the time by the work of language teachers. They have provided linguists with a great deal of their material, and the problems and difficulties they encountered stimulated linguistic research. The science of language owes much to the work of people who would never claim for themselves the title of general linguists. But it may be believed that the teacher who understands and can make use of the methods of scientific linguistics will find the task of presenting a language to his students very much lightened and facilitated. In particular the intuitive feeling for correctness in a language on which teachers have often relied as a fruit of their long experience will be replaced by an objective and publicly communicable know-ledge of its elements and structures, which can be systematically imparted to others. Long ago different events in the world started attracting attention to the needs and advantages of close contacts between linguists and teachers of languages. For example, sudden requirements for numbers of persons to be rapidly trained in particular aspects and styles of languages spoken in some areas in the Second World War made a profound impact on linguistic work in Great Britain and America. The results of such work have contributed greatly to the programmes of language teaching, and particularly to the teaching of English in many parts of the 31 world today. Many linguists devote much of their time to the study and development of teaching methods and the improvement of teaching materials in the service of English as a foreign language. THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BOOKS Why are so many people fond of reading? The world of books is full of wonders. Reading books you can find yourself in different lands, countries, islands, seas and oceans. Together with the characters of the book you go by ship in the stormy sea, you climb high mountains, you fly into space, you have a lot of adventures. There are authors and characters famous all over the world. Who hasn't read «Alice in Wonderland» by Lewis Carrol? or «The Adventures of Tom Sawyer» by Mark Twain? or «Mowgli» by Rudyard Kipling? Who hasn't travelled with Mary Poppins to her imaginary world? Who hasn't imagined himself to be Robinson Crusoe on the deserted island? We enjoy the beauty and wisdom of fairy-tales and fables which teach us to be kind and clever, to be hard-working, to be brave and honest, to understand other people. Books help us to be true friends. They teach us to understand the beauty of nature, to take care of it, to love our homeland. As there are many different people in the world so there are many different books. An English author once wrote: "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested". This quotation tells us how to read books of different kinds. Most travel books are to be tasted; it's enough to dip into them and read bits here and there. If you're fond of detective stories (Agatha Christie, Simenon and the rest of the modern favourites), you will read them quickly, you'll swallow them. And then there are books that you'll read slowly and carefully. If a book is on an important subject and a subject you're interested in, you'll want to chew and digest it. You can find all kinds of books at the library. Almost every city has a public library. There is a library at every school, institute or university, which is rich in books on different subjects. You can find there any book you like. Sometimes it is difficult to choose a book. Then you ask a librarian to help you. PROVERBS A proverb is a traditional saying which offers advice or presents a moral in a short and pithy manner. Paradoxically, many phrases which are called 'proverbial' are not proverbs as we now understand the term. The confusion dates from before the eighteenth century, when the term 'proverb' also covered metaphorical phrases, similes, and descriptive epithets, and was used far more loosely than it is today. Nowadays we would normally expect a proverb to be cast in the form of a sentence. Proverbs fall readily into three main categories. Those of the first type take the form of abstract statements expressing general truth, such as Absence makes the heart grow fonder and Nature abhors a vacuum. Proverbs of the second type, which include many of the more colourful examples, use specific observations from everyday experience to make a point which is general; for instance, You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink and Don't pull all your eggs in one basket. The third type of proverb comprises sayings from particular areas of traditional wisdom and folklore. In this category are found, for example, the health proverbs After dinner rest a while, after supper walk a mile and Feed a cold and starve a fever. These are frequently classical maxims rendered into the vernacular. In addition, there are traditional country proverbs which relate to husbandry, the seasons, and the weather, such as Red sky at night, shepherd's delight; red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning and When the wind is in the east, 'tis neither good for man nor beast. 32 It is sometimes said that the proverb is going out of fashion, or that it has degenerated into the cliche. Such views overlook the fact that while the role of the proverb in English literature has changed, its popular currency has remained constant. In medieval times, and even as late as the seventeenth century, proverbs often had the status of universal truths and were used to confirm or refute an argument. Lengthy lists of proverbs were compiled to assist the scholar in debate; and many sayings from Latin, Greek, and the continental languages were drafted into English for this purpose. By the eighteenth century, however, the popularity of the proverbs had declined in the work of educated writers, who began to ridicule it as a vehicle for trite, conventional wisdom. The proverb has nonetheless retained its popularity as a homely commentary on life and as a reminder that the wisdom of our ancestors may still be useful to us today.

To prove it, I invite you to a railway or a bus station, a port or an airport. There you will see thousands of people trying to catch a train a bus, a ship or a plane. Everybody wants to go somewhere and to get there as quickly as possible, with all conveniences and safety. Of course, travelling by plane is the fastest, but it is also the most expensive. That’s why if people have time they go by train. It is one of the most popular means of travelling. Trains go slower than planes, but you can see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Modern trains are very comfortable and you can enjoy even the longest journey. Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. On board large ships and small river boats people can visit foreign countries and different places of interest within their own country. A trip by sea is usually called a voyage or a cruise. Buses also can take you to any place you wish. It can be a trip not far from your home or a long journey even to a foreign country. Modern buses have comfortable seats, video and phone, you can have hot tea or coffee, drinks and snack. Tourist groups usually use buses to visit foreign countries and different places of interest. Many people prefer travelling by car. They don’t have to buy tickets. They don’t have to carry heavy luggage. They can stop wherever they wish and spend as much time as they like at any place. But some people like spending their holidays travelling on foot or by bike. If you feel like travelling by plane, by train or by bus, you have to choose a flight or a line, to go to a ticket office and buy a single or a return ticket. Sometimes you have to change trains or buses. Then you take your luggage and try not to miss your plane, train or bus. They usually arrive in time - your wonderful journey begins. Have a nice journey. As for me, I have never travelled far from my home. I and my family usually spend holidays at my Granny’s in the country. But last year we went to the seaside. It was so exciting. I hope, next year I shall visit London. It’ll be great.

MEALS It goes without saying that I prefer to have meals at home. At the weekend I like to get up late and have a good breakfast of scrambled eggs or pancakes or something like that. But on weekdays I’m always short of time in the morning. So I just have a cup of strong tea or coffee and a couple of sandwiches. As I spend a lot of time at the institute it’s necessary just to keep me going. That’s why I have to go to the school canteen to have lunch. Our canteen laves much to be desired we don’t have much choice there. But I enjoy my evening meal at home. My mother is a wonderful cook and her dinners are always delicious and various. To begin with we usually have some salad – tomato and cucumber or mixed salad. For the first course we have some soup – noodle, mushroom, or cabbage soup or maybe some fish soup for a change. For the main course we have meat, chicken or fish dishes, for example, steak or fried fish with spaghetti or potatoes (boiled or fried). We also have a lot of vegetables. I prefer meat to fish but my mother makes me eat fish from time to time. She says it’s good for my brains. For dessert we have some fruit or just a cup of tea with a slice of cake, or an apple pie. Of course when you don’t want to cook or you don’t have time you can go to a restaurant But it has become rather expensive now a days.

I also had a headache and couldn’t sleep. I decided to go to the clinic. The doctor examined me and said that I had the flu. He told me to stay in bаd for a few days and prescribed some medicine. He put me on the sick list. When I returned home, I went to bed at once. I had some hot tea with honey and took some medicine. The treatment helped me. Soon I felt better and a few days later I recovered. My temperature became normal. When I came to the clinic again, the doctor said that everything was all right and I could go to my office. He advised me to spend a lot of time in the open air and devote more time to sport.

GREAT BRITAIN Great Britain is an island lying off the north-western coastline of Europe. The English Channel separates it from the mainland in the south. The Strait of Dover, 18 miles wide, divides it from France. Great Britain is separated from Belgium and Holland by the north Sea, and from Ireland by the Irish Sea. The official name of Great Britain is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is the name of the major island of the United Kingdom including England, Scotland and Wales; the United Kingdom, or the UK comprises Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK is often referred to as Great Britain or the British Isles. It is an island state consisting of more than 5000 large and small islands, the most important being the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight. England is a part of the island of Great Britain; the Cheviot Hills and the river Tweed divide it from Scotland. No part of Great Britain lies more than one hundred miles from the coast. The coastline is broken and has a few bays and excellent natural harbours. Internationally famous ports include London, Bristol, Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover and others. Geographically the island of Great Britain is subdivided into two main regions: Lowland Britain and Highland Britain. The highest mountain Ben Nevis (1343) is in Scotland; the highest peak in Wales is Snowdon (1085). The greater part of the land is flat. There are plenty of short rivers in Great Britain; the Severn is the longest one, while the Thames is the deepest and the most important one. Due to the influence of the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current washing Britain’s western shores, the UK enjoys warmer winters and cooler summers than other countries at the same latitude. There is much rain and fog in England. October is usually the wettest month, July is the hottest and January is the coldest one. All over the world Britain is notorious for its fogs. For many centuries, during the cold time of the year the English people have been using coal in their fireplaces in private houses, though smoke from factories contributed a great deal to the trouble too. That kind of fog and smoke English people used to call smog. An unusually thick smog in London in 1962 caused the death of some 4,000 people. During the 1960s, laws were passed under which using open coal fires in homes in the city area was forbidden. The laws stopped much of the pollution from the factories, too. The ordinary damp mists which afflict all parts of the countries. The flora of the British Isles is varied and the fauna is similar to that of the north-west of Europe. The country is not very rich in mineral resources. Over threequarters of Britain’s land is used for farming; farms produce nearly half of the food that Britain needs. The UK is a highly developed industrial country too, known as a producer and exporter of machinery, electronics, ships, aircraft and navigation equipment. The capital of the UK is London, in England. The capital of Wales is Cardiff, and the Scottish capital is at Edinburgh; the capital of Northern Ireland is Belfast.

They arrived at the airport two hours before the departure. Fii^t of all they went to the check-in counter, where a ticket agent looked at their tickets and passports. Then their baggage was checked in. Proffesor Belov's suitcases were very heavy, so he had to pay an amount of money for overweight. Next they were given boarding passes, that allowed them to get on the plane. The boarding passes had the seats numbers written on them. Their suitcases were labeled and sent off to be loaded into the hold of the airplane. While waiting for the flight to be called, some of proffesor Belov's collegues went to the newsstand to buy some magazines. At last they went through the security check, where their hawd luggage was searched. In the departure lounge proffesor Belov and his collegues joined the other passengers.

Many of the games we play now have come from Britain. One of the most British games is cricket. It is often played in schools, colleges, universities and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn't summer without cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is both a game and a standard of behaviour. When they consider anything unfair, they sometimes say: "That isn't cricket." But as almost everywhere else in the world, the game which attracts the greatest attention is Association football, or soccer. Every Saturday from late August till the beginning of May, large crowds of people support their favourite sides in football grounds. True fans will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are plenty of professional and amateur soccer clubs all over Britain. International football matches and the Cup Finals take place at Wembley. Rugby football is also very popular, but it is played mainly by amateurs. Next to football, the chief spectator sport in British life is horse-racing. A lot of people are interested in the races and risk money on the horse which they think will win. The Derby is perhaps the most famous single sporting event in the whole world. Britain is also famous for motor-car racing, dog-racing, boat-racing, and even races for donkeys. The famous boat-race between the teams of Oxford and Cambridge attracts large crowds of people. A great number of people play and watch tennis. Tennis tournaments at Wimbledon are known all over the world. The innumerable tennis courts of Britain are occupied by people between the ages of 16 and 60 who show every degree of skill — from practically helpless to the extremely able. The British also like to play golf, baseball, hockey, grass-hockey. Various forms of athletics, such as running, jumping, swimming, boxing are also popular. You can sometimes hear that there are no winter sports in England. Of course the English weather is not always cold enough to ski, skate, or toboggan, but winter is a good season for hunting and fishing. Indeed sport in one form or another is an essential part of daily life in Britain.

I felt happy when hard and busy school year finished and summer holidays began. I started to plan a lot of wonderful things to do | during my summer vocation. I was dreaming about visiting far south countries I always wanted to visit. For example, I dreamed to visit, Greece islands or Spanish beaches. But I had to go to the Azov Sea seaside with my parents. The water was very warm there, because the Sea of Azov isn't deep. There were different kinds of entertainments there. Best of all I liked water scooters and discos. There was nothing to do all day except taking sunbathes and swimming. I was playing with my little sister on the sand and taught her to swim. Later, I returned home and spent some time there going out with my friends, reading, listening to music, watching TV and playing computer games. After that I went to the sport camp where I spent twenty days with my friends. It was very useful experience for us, because we had to get up very early, to train a lot. But it made us stronger and healthier. I was very happy to return home and to spend several days in my summer cottage, where I had a rest helping my grandfather to dig the garden, to irrigate plants and to gather fruit and vegetables. I was fishing with my grandfather sometimes and we cooked our fish together. Only insects were spoiling my good humour. I was enjoying floating in the boat, swimming and helping my grandparents. During my summer holidays I made new friends, read a lot of interesting books, knew many useful things. Now, I feel ready to get back to school.

Задание №31 Прочитайте текст DO WE HAVE TO BE VIOLENT? 1. For centimes philosophers, psychologists and anthropologists have tried to explain why men behave violently.
