Job Hunting
Getting a job is a very hard period in the life of most people. Companies choose an employee from hundreds of candidates according to special rules, that’s why there are special ‘typical’ factors, influencing employer’s choice. Among such factors are: age, sex, experience, family background and marital status, personality and references.
If you’re to go on interview tomorrow, sleep well before it and don’t forget your CV at home – is the basic rule. What’s more, you should follow corresponding dress code for the interview.
Some companies don’t want to hire a man, who follows every advice. To illustrate this, we can quote Artemiy Lebedev, the most famous Russian web-designer: ‘If you enclose a standard stupid resume, written by the rules of American bureaucracy, we would delete it immediately after receiving. If your CV is composed according to all rules, we wouldn’t choose you, as we might think, that your profession is to acquire a job.’
After getting a job, you may have some unexpected troubles with boss, too: e.g. if you dye your hair or wear something not appropriate. The best solution of such situation is to ask a trade union for advice, which can always help you in your fight with an employer. Of course, if you affect company discipline not coming in time or working bad, your dismissal wouldn’t be unfair.
To conclude: it is sometimes hard not only to get a job, but also to work in the staff, and if you don’t want to be laid off, you should follow company rules, it is a must.

The Article
Артикль
Артикль – це службова частина мови, що вживається з іменниками. В англійській мові є два артиклі – означений (definite – the) та неозначений (indefinite – a, an).
Артикль a, an (перед іменниками, що починаються на голосний, наприклад: an apple, an hour) походить від слова one – один і вживається з іменниками, про які йде мова вперше.
Артикль theвживається з іменниками, про які вже йшла мова, або з назвами предметів – єдиних у своєму роді. Наприклад: I have a house. The house I live in is made of bricks.
Пам’ятка:
Якщо перед іменником стоїть прикметник, артикль уживають перед прикметником: Thisisabook.This is an interesting book.
Уживання неозначеного артикля a (an):
Уживають лише перед злічуваними іменниками, що стоять в однині.
Перед назвами професій: She is a doctor.
Перед деякими числівниками: a million, a hundred, a thousand, a half, a third.
В окличних реченнях після слова What: What a fine day!
Після слів such, quite: It was such a cold weather yesterday! He is quite a child.
Зі словами few, little: We had a few books.
Уживання означеного артикля the:
Уживають, якщо іменник означає єдиний у своєму роді об’єкт: the Sun, the Earth, the East, the North, the West.
Якщо іменник означає предмет, про який йде мова в конкретній ситуації: Putthepenonthetable.
Перед порядковими числівниками: My flat is on the second floor.
Для утворення найвищого ступеня порівняння прикметників / за умови вживання Present Perfect Tense Active Voice: It’s the biggest bear I’ve ever seen in my life!
Перед назвами морів, річок, каналів, океанів, пустель, гір: The Alps, the Atlantic Ocean, the Black Sea, the Dnipro.
Перед назвами країн, регіонів, груп островів, що вжито в множині: the USA, the Bahamas, the Netherlands, the Congo, the Sudan, the Caucasus, the Crimea.
Перед назвами газет і журналів: the Guardian, the Times.
Пам’ятка:
Словосполучення з артиклем the:
to (at) the cinema / shop / theater / market;
to the left / right; in the middle / corner, проте in front;
in the morning / afternoon / evening; проте at night / at half past five / at a quarter past five;
to (in) north / south / west / east.
Відсутність артикля
Артикль не вживають, якщо перед іменником стоїть присвійний / вказівний займенник: This is my book.
Якщо перед іменником стоїть іменник в присвійному відмінку: My son’s hair is red.
Якщо перед іменником стоїть заперечення no: There’s no peaches left in the fridge.
Якщо після іменника стоїть кількісний числівник: Open your books at page ten.
Перед назвами наук, навчальних дисциплін: I study English / She learns History.
Перед назвами місяців, днів тижня: in September / on Friday.
Перед власними іменами: Smith, Nick, George, проте: the Browns / the Whites (сім’я Браунів, Уайтів – усі члени родини).
Перед іменниками, що не можна перерахувати: peace, freedom, happiness, air, love, water.
Пам’ятка:
Відсутність артикля у словосполученнях:
at / for / after / before breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper;
to have breakfast / lunch / dinner / supper;
(to go to) at school / work / home;

Іменник. Множина іменника
Іменник – це самостійна частина мови, що називає предмет і відповідає на запитання хто, що. Наприклад: а pen, a table, an engineer, a book.
Number (Число)
Іменники в англійській мові поділяють на злічувані (countable) та незлічувані (uncountable). Вони мають форми однини (singular) та множини (plural).
Злічувані іменники означають предмети, які можна порахувати: a chair, a question.
Незлічувані іменники – це назви речовин та багатьох абстрактних понять, які не можна порахувати: water, milk, friendship, freedom.

Іменники sheep / deer / swine / fishта назви деяких порід риб мають однакову форму в однині та в множині.
Іменники, що виражають абстрактні поняття, уживають тільки в однині: chalk / silver / peace / courage / advice / knowledge / information / news / progress / money.
Іменники, що складаються з двох рівних або подібних частин, уживають тільки в множині: spectacles / trousers / scissors / goods / clothes / contents / wages.
Пам’ятка:
this is – these are / that is – those are / there is – there are / it is – they are
Case (Відмінок)
В англійській мові є два відмінки іменників: загальний (the Common Case) і присвійний (the Possessive Case).
Присвійний відмінок відповідає на запитанняwhose, у його формі вживають переважно іменники, що означають людей і тварин. Такий відмінок утворюється додаванням до іменника в однині апострофа та закінчення –sабо за допомогою of-phrase.

Adjective. Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives
Прикметник. Ступені порівняння прикметників
Прикметник – це самостійна частина мови, що виражає ознаку, якість або властивістьпредмета і відповідає на запитання який, яка.
В англійській мові розрізняють прості прикметники (Simple Adjectives) – good, red, new, unkind, похідні (Derived Adjectives) – beautiful, foolish, hopeless і складні (Compound Adjectives) – snow-white, deaf-mute, cold-hearted, easy-going, four-wheeled.
За граматичними ознаками прикметники поділяють на якісні (Qualitative Adjectives) – вказують на якість, ознаки та властивості речей: grey, big, clever та відносні (Relative Adjectives) – вказують на якість і ознаки речей: a wooden bench, a difficult task.
Прикметники в англійській мові не змінюються ні за числами, ні за родами, ні за відмінками: a round table, young men, an old carpenter. Вони змінюються лише за ступенями порівняння. Якісні прикметники в англійській мові мають основну форму (positive degree), вищий ступінь порівняння (comparative degree) та найвищий (superlative degree).

Інші способи вираження порівняння
Для порівняння двох предметів однакової якості прикметник в основній формі ставлять між парним сполучником as…as. Щоб уникнути повторення іменника, вживають займенник one.
e.g. This house is as big as that one. This lady is as attractive as that one. I don’t know whom I like more.
Для вираження нерівного ступеня якості вживають сполучник not so…as.
e.g. Our project is not so profitable as theirs. His answer is not so sure as hers.
Після вищого ступеня вживають сполучник than (ніж).
e.g. This summer is hotter than the last one. This language is more difficult to learn than that one.
Порівняльний сполучник the…theв поєднанні з прикметником або з прислівником у вищому ступені перекладають що…то.
e.g. The more I practice the better I speak this language. The more he looked at her the more he liked her.
Для посилення вищого ступеня вживають прислівники much / far,які ставлять перед прикметником у вищому ступені і перекладають значно, більше.
e.g. This story is much (far) more interesting than that one. This trunk is much (far) heavier than that one.
