Предисловие
Методическое пособие, составленное коллективом авторов, предназначено для студентов-бакалавров первого курса неязыковых специальностей. Пособие состоит из десяти разделов, каждый из которых включает тексты и лексико-грамматические упражнения.
Специфика пособия обусловила выбор тем – универсальных для любой специальности университета, содержащих общие сведения как страноведческого, так и общекультурного характера. Лексико-грамматические упражнения направлены не только на отработку употребления лексического и грамматического материала, но и на расширение кругозора студента-бакалавра, на его подготовку к общению в рамках межкультурной коммуникации.
Кроме того, в некоторых разделах предусмотрены дополнительные материалы страноведческого характера, позволяющие расширить познания студентов как в области культуры англо-говорящих стран, так и в сфере межкультурного общения.
В приложении особое внимание уделяется устоявшимся выражениям, применяемым на занятиях (Classroom Expressions), идиоматическим и разговорным выражениям английского языка (Colloquial English Phrases and Idioms). Также в приложении приводятся несколько тестов, направленных на проверку уровня владения изученным лексическим и грамматическим материалом, и тексты для самостоятельного чтения.
Unit 1. About myself
Read, translate and retell the text.
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is … .I’m seventeen years old. I am a first – year student of the Orenburg State Pedagogical University. There are two more kids in the family besides me – my elder brother Oleg and my younger sister Maria. Oleg is twenty-one, he attends a University, he will be a dentist. Maria is only twelve, she is a schoolgirl. I forgot to mention one more member of our family. It’s our favorite poodle Tim.
My parents are not old at all. My Mum is forty, she works for newspaper. My Dad is forty-four, he is an engineer in computers. My parents love their jobs very much.
I’m doing quite well at the University. My parents are proud of my marks. I go in for sports. I am good at different sport games but I prefer playing basket-ball. I take part in different basket-ball competitions. In summer time I like swimming and boating. In 4 years I will graduate from the University and I will work as a teacher.
My grandparents are already retired. They like gardening and spend all their time growing tomatoes, potatoes, onions, strawberries, raspberries.
