Курс состоит из 9 модулей. Каждый модуль соответствует одной теме и включает в себя следующие компоненты:
- точно сформулированную учебную цель – формирование компетенций
- список необходимых учебных, учебно-методических материалов и средств
- собственно учебно-методический материал в виде конкретного текста,
аудио-и видеоматериалов; таблиц, упражнений;
- тестов для самоконтроля
- контрольных тестов для каждого модуля, итогового теста базового курса
- зачетных, экзаменационных требований
Каждый модуль оценивается в часах и баллах. Баллы заносятся в балльно-рейтинговую карту организации и оценки учебного процесса в индивидуальных планах студентов. Применение балльно-рейтинговой системы оценки учебного процесса, разделенного на модули имеет целью развитие у студентов активности и ответственности за самостоятельную работу, повышение интенсивности и ритмичности учебного труда в течение всего учебного года, прозрачности и объективности оценки знаний, умений, навыков.
Основной целью базового курса является программная установка на развитие лингвистической, коммуникативной и социокультурной компетенций. Под коммуникативной компетенцией понимается развитие следующих умений:
- понимать основные идеи и факты устной речи;
- понимать/распознавать отношения и точки зрения;
- чётко, логично, убедительно задавать все виды релевантных вопросов;
- аргументировать свою точку зрения;
- разговаривать по телефону;
- писать официальные/неофициальные письма;
- понимать со словарём, извлекать основной смысл, концептуально излагать содержание общеобразовательных текстов;
- вести беседу в рамках общеобразовательных тем.
Социокультурная компетенция предусматривает: развитие ценностных и социальных ориентаций, усвоение знаний основ культуры, наиболее распространенных реалий, традиций, обычаев, менталитета других национальностей, формирование способностей к общению с учётом социокультурных различий.
С коммуникативной и социокультурной компетенциями интегрируются языковая и речевая компетенции, а также общеобразовательные ценности обучения иноязычной речи.
Структура курса английского языка основывается на следующих положениях:
- устная речь (говорение, аудирование) и чтение – это виды речевой деятельности, являющиеся как целью, так и средством обучения иностранному языку;
- письмо и перевод – вспомогательные средства обучения, входящие в систему упражнений при объяснении, закреплении и контроле лексического и грамматического материала; перевод, кроме того, одно из средств контроля понимания прочитанного;
- фонетика, лексика, грамматика изучаются в речевых образцах, в процессе работы над которыми у студентов формируются требуемые речевые умения и навыки.
При организации процесса обучения рекомендуется руководствоваться следующим:
1. Формирование навыка произношения происходит в тесном единстве с овладением навыками устной речи и чтения.
2. Овладение лексико-грамматическим материалом происходит в процессе работы над текстом в сопоставлении с соответствующими явлениями русского языка.
В учебном процессе должны быть использованы технические и наглядные средства обучения: магнитофонные записи, лабораторные работы и тесты по изучаемым лексико-грамматическим темам, видеофильмы и т.п.
Речевые навыки и умения к концу обучения
На первом этапе закладывается фонетическая, грамматическая и лексическая база для дальнейшей работы студентов над языком. Особое внимание уделяется развитию навыков устной речи. На этом же этапе закладываются основы аудирования на английском языке и формируются навыки чтения художественной, общественно-политической литературы.
К концу первого этапа студент должен овладеть следующими речевыми умениями и навыками (по видам речевой деятельности):
Говорение

Text A. Introducing people.
Read and remember the following formulas of etiquette.
Manners are very important in every country but different countries have different ideas about what good behavior and good manners are. Nowadays, many people travel abroad, so it is important to learn a little about what to do (and what not to do) in a foreign country.
Here are a few rules of introduction which are useful to remember:
- men are introduced to women;
- young people to older ones;
- old friends to newcomers;
- a young girl to a married woman.
Socially women are never presented to a man unless he is the Head of State or a member of the Royal family.
The most simple form of introduction is the pronouncing of the two names:
Man to man: Mr Walters. Mr Jordan. or Mr Walters, this is Mr Jordan.
Man to woman: Miss Blake, this is Jack Jordan.
The more formal forms of introductions are:
Man to man: Mr walters, may I introduce Mr Jordan? or Mr Walters, I’d like you to meet Mr Jordan.
Man to woman: Miss Blake, may I introduce my assistant Jack Jordan?
The most formal form of introduction is:
Mr Walters, may I present Mr Jordan?
Miss Blake, may present Mr Jordan?
There are also a number of conversational introductions such as:
Mr Walters, have you met Mr Jordan?
Mrs Blake, do you know Mr Jordan?
As a rule when introducing one says something like: “Mrs Jones, may I introduce Mr Hogart?” and then turning to Mr Hogart simply say: “Mrs Jones”. That is all that is necessary, but one may add: “Mr Hogart has just returned from a visit to France”, or some other bit of information which will give the introduced people a chance to start a conversation.
The usual response to an introduction is: ”How do you do”, which is a sort of greeting and not a question and the best answer to it is “How do you do”.
Sometimes one may say less formally: “I am glad to meet you”, “happy to meet you” or just “Hello”.
It is very good to add the name of the person introduced – “I’m very glad to meet you, Mr Jordan”. if you didn’t remember the name it is perfectly all right simply to ask “What was your name, please?” or “Could you kindly repeat (give) your name?”
Always stand when introduced, ladies may remain seated as a rule.
Handshaking is rather rare in Britain and USA but it is the correct thing to do on the Continent. When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he only touches his hat. He doesn’t shake hands when he stops to talk. British people occasionally shake hands especially when formally introduced, but they do not shake hands with people they see often. Instead they smile and say: “good morning”, “Good afternoon”, “Good evening”, etc.
When two businessmen meet, however, they usually shake hands.

Text B. Keep your distance.
Read the text and answer why is it very important to know about the personal space in different countries.
Police officers in all societies always stand very close to people when they are interrogating them, and managers often stand very close when they are trying to get information from their staff. Teachers sometimes do this with students, too! We all feel uncomfortable when someone stands or sits too lose to us. We think of the space near our bodies as our territory. But what is “too close”?
All over the world, people in big cities stand close to one another than people in small towns, and people in small towns stand closer to one another than people from the country. The idea of personal space changes in different countries. In some parts of India people stay 60 cm apart. In Britain, Australia and North America personal space for most people is about 45 cm from the body researches say it is 25 cm in Japan but only 20 cm in both Denmark and Brazil.
This difference can cause communication problem. Latin Americans and Asians often say that the British and Americans are cold and unfriendly. On the other hand, the British and Americans often see other cultures as too assertive and aggressive. In both examples, the problems are different ideas of personal space.
A society - общество
Close to - близко к
Interrogate smb - допрашивать к.л.
To get information - получить информацию
A staff - штат, персонал
To feel (un)comfortable - чувствовать себя (не)уютно
A personal space - личное пространство
Researches - исследователи
To cause - вызывать, являться причиной
A communication problem- проблема в общении
(un)friendly - (не)дружелюбный
Assertive - самоуверенный
Aggressive - агрессивный, напористый
True or false?
- Police officers stand too close when they are asking questions…
- We don’t like it when people stand too close…
- People in small towns stand closer than people in big cities…
- People in the country stand further apart than people in small towns…
- North Americans like a larger personal space than Danish people…
- Brazilians stand closer to people than the Japanese…
- The British and Americans are very cold…
- The British and Americans like more personal space…
Dialogue 1 Meeting friends.
A young man from Russia arrives in a British town to meet his friend. Read the conversations he had in different situations.
Good afternoon.
Oh, hello, Vasia. Come on in. How’re you?
I’m all right. Thanks. And what about you?
Fine, thanks. Now, Vasia, do you know Zeb? Zeb, this is my friend Vasia from Russia.
Hello, Zeb.
Welcome to Britain. How was the flight?
Great, thanks.
How’re things? Is Moscow still standing, as I think the Russian saying goes?
Everything’s fine. Besides, the weather has settled down.
It’s also warm here today, isn’t it?
Oh, it’s lovely, yes.
Why don’t you sit down? Fancy a drink?
Sorry?
I’m just going to get you a drink. You must need that after such a long journey. There’s tea and coffee or maybe some beer?
I’d rather have some beer, thanks.
Mild or stout?
Mild, please.
Here you are.
Thanks, here’s to you.
Cheers.
Is Moscow still standing, as I think the Russian saying goes? – Москва ещё стоит – так, кажется, у вас в России говорят?
To settle down - устроиться, наладиться
Mild or stout? - лёгкое (светлое) или крепкое? (о пиве)
Cheers - за вас
Dialogue 2 In the park.
A girl is sitting on a bench in the park; there is a book beside her. The boy is going to engage her in a conversation.
- Excuse me, anyone sitting here?
- No, no. I’ll just move my book.
- Right. Thanks.
- There we are.
- I wonder what that book is you’re reading? A detective story, I bet! Looks really interesting.
- It’s all about criminals and their methods.
- I see, I see.
- I like detective stories and thrillers, you know. But there just isn’t the time…
- No there isn’t.
- … even to go to the cinema.
- I was just thinking of going to the cinema this evening. Would you like to come?
- That would be nice, yes! Oh! I’m busy tonight, I’m afraid. What about tomorrow night?
- Oh, dear, no. I’m afraid I’m busy then myself.
- Oh… well.
- Er… it would be nice to meet sometime.
- Yes.
- Perhaps if you gave me your phone number I could…
- Yes, alright. Shall I write it down for you?
- Yes, please.
- O’key. Here you are. By the way, I’m Mary.
- Oh, yes, I’m Vasia. Thanks I’ll give you a ring.
- Alright.
- Oh, no, is that the time? I must be off.
- Oh, dear!
- It has been really nice meeting you!
- Nice meeting you too!
- Good bye, then.
- Bye.

I’m afraid - боюсь, что я …
By the way - между прочим

Dialogue 3 Visiting a British home.
After the lunch the boy saw the girl home and she invited him for a cup of coffee. Her mother meets them.
Hello, Mum. This is my new friend from Russia. Vasia, meet my mother.
How do you do?
You’re welcome. Sit down and make yourself at home. Would you like some coffee?
Yes, please. I’d love some.
Black or white?
Black, please.
Have you got enough sugar?
Yes, thank you.
Nasty weather we are having today, don’t you think?
Oh, yes. On a rainy day like this it’s so nice to sit in a warm room. Your coffee is excellent!
Have some more biscuits?
No, thank you, I’ve had enough.
I guess, it’s your first visit to Britain. Do you like it here?
Oh, yes. I’m enjoying every day of my visit.
I hope you don’t mind my asking, but could you tell me what you do for a living?
Well, I do some sort of change jobs er… mostly during the summer, I mean, apart from my studies. You see, I’m a university student.
Oh, really? And what are you going to do in future?
I’m going to be an economist. You have to study hard to become a good one, you know.
This may sound a stupid question, but is it true that a young man in your country cannot support his family without his parents’ help?
Well, you see, that’s a very interesting question. I have to admit that it’s not easy, but as the English say, where there is a will, there is a way.
Make yourself at home - чувствуйте себя как дома
I’d love some - с удовольствием (съем немного)
I hope you don’t mind my asking - надеюсь, вы простите моё любопытство (не возражаете, если я спрошу)
To do for a living - зарабатывать на жизнь
Do some sort of change jobs - немного подрабатывать
Apart from - помимо

Text A. Britain now. The family.
Read the text and answer the questions.
There are many different views on family life. Some people couldn’t do without the support and love of their families. Others say it is the source of most of our problems and anxieties. Whatever the truth is, the family is definitely a powerful symbol. Turn on the television or open a magazine and you will see advertisements featuring happy, balanced families. Politicians often try to win votes by standing for “family values”: respect for parental authority, stability in marriage, chastity and care for the elderly.
There is no definition of a “normal family”. Broadly speaking, the family is a group of people related by blood or law, living together or associating with one another for a common purpose.
That purpose is usually to provide shelter and food, and to bring up children. The nature of the family keeps changing: there are a number of types of family that exist in a society at any one time.
Many people think there was once a golden age in which the world was filled with happy families. The mother ran the house, and the father went out to work to bring back enough money for this ideal family to live its life.
The family – mother, father and three or four healthy, happy children – would go out for an occasional treat. Roles were very clear for the parents and children. Discipline within the family was strong, and moral standards were high. This image is the kind of family life people mean when they talk about “Victorian values”. The vision of a golden age is based perhaps on how we think perfect family life should be.
Some sociologists argue that the nature of the family constantly changing and that there is no point in making comparisons with families of a generation ago. However, people continue to hope for a stable family life. Marriage has no gone out of fashion; although the number of divorces has increased, so has the number of divorced people who will marry again.
It is now acceptable in most social circles for people to live together before they are married – if they intend to get married at all. The numbers of couples cohabiting increased during the 1980s (18 per cent of unmarried people aged between 16 and 59 years old), becoming common as a living arrangement before marriage. Many people think that this is a useful way of “testing out” a relationship before the commitment of marriage. People still get married, often after living together, but there is an increasing chance that the marriage ends in divorce (one in two marriages).
On average, those who do choose to get married tend to marry later: the ages at which men and women marry for the first time have risen continuously in recent years. In 1990, it was 27 for men and 25 for women. In Britain, you can get married in a church or in a registry office.
Family sizes fell in the 1970s and 1980s.This is partly because people have fewer children: in Britain most people have just two. But the main factor is the increase in the number of one-person households. Twenty seven per cent of households consist of people who live on their own. Most people living alone are widows, but there has been a big increase in the number of men who live alone. This is because a large number of couples get divorced. Men often live on their own after getting divorced, whereas women often live with the children.
Nowadays, nine per cent of families are lone parents with children. Women are usually the head of the type of household. Just over 17 per cent of families with children are headed by single mothers, with about one per cent headed by a lone father.
A high proportion of men and women living alone have never married – there is no longer great pressure on people to do so. In the past a woman, especially, would not leave the family home until she was getting married and starting her own family.
Now many children leave home at around 18. It is not unusual for young people to live alone or with friends. Finding somewhere cheap to live is not easy in Britain because there is not enough council housing. It is especially difficult for young people without work because they receive very little money from the State. If they are under 18, have left home and are not on a government work training scheme, they receive no money from the State. There are hostels or the homeless, but the accommodation is always temporary.
Answer the questions:
Can you think of people you know who have no children or live on their own?
Would you like to live on your own? Why (not)?
When do you think you will leave home?
If you could not live with your parents, where would you go and what would you do?
Text B Househusband.
Read the text.
It’s early evening and Mike Beaver, 41, is sitting in the living room of his suburban house near London. He’s reading to his daughter Louise, six, and his baby son Eddie is playing with his toys. Aha, you think, mike has come from work and he’s enjoying quality time with his children.
But you’d be wrong. Mike is a househusband. He looks after the children full-time, and he does the same things any housewife does. He wakes the children up and gives them their breakfast, takes Louise to school, and one day a week takes Eddie to the nursery. Then he cleans the house, does the shopping, and picks the children up from school. He makes dinner for his wife Tina. Then he puts the children to bed – all while she’s at work.
Tina is the director of a PR firm in London so she earns a good salary, but she works long hours. She goes to work at 7.00 in the morning and she often doesn’t get home until 8 p.m., when the children are usually asleep, so she hardly ever sees them during the week. But at the weekend they spend time together. They go shopping, go for a family walk, the children sometimes invite friends over, and in the evening they all sit in front of the television. For these two days, Tina forgets her career, and she enjoys being with the children.
“Many people, especially men, don’t believe me, but I’m enjoying life. I’m doing what I want to do”, says Mike. And what does Tina think? “It means that I can have a career, which I love. And I admire Mike for being so good at what he does – he does a better job than I ever could!” she says with a smile.
Notes:
Househusband / housewife – домохозяин, домохозяйка

Housework isn’t really work.
One parent should stay at home with the children.
Women are better than men at looking after children.
Parents should spend some time with their children every day.
Women can have children and a career.
What do you think of Mike’s job?
Could you be like Mike?
Would you marry someone like Mike? Why/ Why not?
An interview with Jenifer.
I. Meet Jenifer.
Q: What is your name?
My name is Jenifer Lynch.
Q: Where do you live?
I live in Milton, Ontario. It's outside Toronto, in Canada.
Q: What do you do?
I'm a student there. And I study at Guelph University.
Q: How old are you?
I'm twenty one.
Q: Do you have a family?
Yes, certainly. I have two parents, and I have a younger brother, who's seventeen. And he goes to high school1. And I have two grandparents on my father's side. And they live very close to us, so, they come over all the time. And my father is Scottish. And, as a family business, we run a restaurant.
II. Parents.
Q: What does your mother do?
She has a job as an accountant.
Q: How old is your father?
My father is fifty-one now, I believe. Sometimes I forget. And my mother is fifty.
Q: What is your parents' origin?
My mother's side is Irish, and my father's side is Scottish. And I'm more influenced, I think, by my father's side, because his parents are still alive, as I said, so they're over quite often, speaking in Scottish accents, and telling me stories about their hometowns, and what they think of Canada.
Q: Do you have any relatives in Ireland and Scotland?
Yes, I have relatives in Ireland and Scotland. They're quite old, most of them are in Ireland now, because they're mostly relatives of my grandparents, so, I find, that they're older, and I don't visit them very often. But... we're closer to our family in Scotland, because they are younger, and they've small children. So, we like to go over there on vacation, and visit with them quite frequently.
III. Her brother.
Q: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
I have a younger brother.
Q: How old is your brother?
Well, my younger brother is seventeen now. And he goes to high school, and he'll be finishing high school next year, because right now he is in grade eleven. And he just got his driver's license, and he's been driving my car around all the time, which is... very popular, when you are a teenager.
Obviously, if you have a car, it's a very good thing. And... he plays hockey, and he also plays soccer. And he doesn't enjoy school very much, because he's more athletic, and he likes to spend his time playing sports.
Q: Is it a difficult job to be a senior sister?
I wouldn't say it's a difficult job, no. My brother is very independent, so he doesn't rely on me too much, except for when he wants to borrow my car.
Q: Don't you think that it's easier to be a younger child?
Yes, I always thought my brother had it easy having an older sister, because then he always had somebody to show him around places, that he's never been to, and introduce him to people.
And I always wanted an older brother or sister to...introduce me to their friends and take me places. And I always think that the younger child always has it easy, because the elder child is the first to do things, so that when the younger child grows up, the parents are more used to them going out and staying out later, that they give them more leniency.
Q: Were you glad, when your brother was born?
Yes, I was very excited, when my brother was born, because...well, I was very young then.
But when you're young you always want a... little brother or sister to play with. So, I was very happy, when I... when my mother had a child.
Q: Do you have friendly relationship with your brother?
When I was younger, I didn't appreciate my brother that much, because he used to follow me around everywhere, and he would want to do everything, that I was doing, and to come along, and play with me and my friends. And, of course, when I was younger, I didn't want him to follow me. But now that we're older, I enjoy his company more, because we can sit and have conversations, and I'm not as embarrassed of him, when he comes around.
Q: Does he show his respect to you?
I think that he's always looked up to me, and enjoys spending time with me, because I usually find, that any younger brother or sister usually feels that way about their older brother or sister.
IV. Relatives
Q: You said that you're very much influenced by your relatives from Scotland. What kind of people are they?
My grandparents are very loud people, and very friendly people, those speak to strangers on the street, and those speak to anyone really, who's willing to listen.
They can talk for hours about nothing really, but sometimes they do tell quite interesting stories, so, it's interesting to listen to them. They have six children, so, my father has quite a lot of brothers and sisters. They're both retired now, obviously. And my grandfather worked for the high job, which is the electric power company.
V. A typical family.
Q: What is a typical Canadian family?
Normally a Canadian family has, I would say, typically two parents and mostly two children,
But, of course, there are always variations, and it's not better to have one type of family or the other. Sometimes there could be one parent, sometimes children don't have to live with their parents. But it's quite average, that you would have two parents and one child, or two children, or three children. Anything larger than that would be uncommon.
Q: What age do most people tend to get married at?
I would say most people now get married in their later twenties. I find that my parents' generation... it seemed that everybody was getting married in between twenty and twenty five, but now I find that people usually get married around twenty five to thirty. And I guess, it's because people stay in school a lot longer now these days, it seems, and try to get an education first.
Q: Do the young follow their parents' advice, what they should do, and who they should date?
I think that everybody always worries about their parents' opinion, and hope that their parents would like who they might be dating. But I find that people seem to be very independent, and would trust first their own opinion, and then may be their parents' opinions second, whether or not their parents like the person, that they're dating. So, I guess, it does have an influence, but only secondary.
Q: Is divorce typical in Canada?
I wouldn't say, divorce is a typical thing in Canada, but it's not uncommon to hear of divorce. I would say most people do not get divorced, obviously, but I wouldn't be shocked to hear, that somebody would be getting divorced, no.
Q: What age do young people usually move out of their parents' house?
Usually people move out of their parents' house in Canada, when they're in their late teenage years, or the early adult years. Usually a lot of people move away to go to school. It's not typical, that somebody would be in their twenties and still living with their parents, because it is possible to find affordable accommodation, so, people generally don't wish to live at their parents' at an older age.
VI. Grandparents.
Q: What do your grandparents think of Canada? Do they like it?
Yes, my grandparents like Canada very much. And I generally find that all Scottish people seem to love Canada very much. I think it's because people in Canada are for the most part friendly and like to talk to strangers. And I find that Scottish people like to speak a lot to lots of different people, so, they can generally find company to speak with. Yes, they're always speaking very highly of Canadians, that now they actually have their Canadian citizenship. That was very important to them, because they like the country so much. And they like to tell everybody, how they're Canadian citizens, whenever they get the chance.
Q: Jenifer, tell us something interesting about them, please.
I can't think of a specific story, that says, how they're Scottish, but they look very much Scottish,
and speak with a very strong accent so much, so that...I have a girlfriend from South Africa, who, of course, also speaks English, and she has a hard time understanding them, because their accent is so strong, and they use a lot of Scottish words, that we don't use in Canada. And their behavior is very Scottish. And they try to tell Scottish folk stories, and they... they love to listen to Scottish music with bag-pipes, and tell people all about what this song might be.
VII. Child care.
Q: When do people usually start to have their own children?
I would say, people normally have their own children after they've been married a few years.
So usually... yes, in their late twenties. Then... I find, people are generally starting to have children, I mean, it can vary. I have some friends now, who are starting to have kids in their early twenties, but for the most part it's a little later.
Q: Is there any financial support provided for those, who have babies?
Depending on what your income is you can get different social supports from the government, to apply to different things. Depending which company you work for, it's likely that you'll be able to be given a long maternity leave to have your child, and that would extend on to when your child's young, so that you could take care of it for a long time. When it's young, we don't have to return for work, and beyond that would be something given by your company, but there is also government plans and place to you could apply for certain... day care benefits, things like this.
There are still young mothers and young families, would get a what's called 'a baby bonus'. So it would help you to support a young child, just so that the government, I guess, would help insure, that no child could be left in poverty -would be the goal.

Projects.
- Read the following difficult situations. Discuss the problems in pairs/ groups. Do you have any ideas of how to help the young people?
- My sister has just had a baby. She still lives at home with us and it’s really annoying. It’s so crowded and noisy. The baby seems to cry all through the night and everyone seems to be always tired. I wish my sister could move out, but she can’t cope on her own.
- My problem s that I can’t get to sleep at night without having the TV on loudly. I’ve tried to get to sleep without it, but I can’t. My brother gets really annoyed because we have to share the bedroom and the TV keeps him up. What can I do?
- My dad runs a football team. I’ve played in the team or a couple of years, but I don’t want to play any more. I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to and I have better things to do with my time. My dad will go mad when he finds out that I don’t want to play any more. What can I do?
- My daughter is a student and she is very bad with money. Every month she spends all her money on clothes and going out, and then doesn’t have enough for books, etc. I tell her that she should be more careful, but our Granny secretly gives her the extra money. I don’t know what to do.
- I’m nineteen. I have been going out with my girlfriend Lucy since I was sixteen. My parents do not seem to like Lucy. They have never actually said they dislike her, but they are silent when I talk about her. Now I have stopped bringing her to our house, and don’t talk about her with my parents.
- A few years ago I was a bit overweight. I’m quite slim now, but I’m worry about putting on weight again. I always miss breakfast and lunch. In the evening after a very small meal I eat chocolate and crisps. My mother tries to force me to eat three meals a day. I think she doesn’t want to understand my problem.

1. Here are some things that people always take with them when they travel, and their reasons for
taking them. Match the travel essentials to the reasons.
2. What are your travel essentials? Why?
3. The extracts below are from guidebooks for Iceland and Zimbabwe. Read the extracts and match them to the countries.
There are three things that no traveller here should be without: a tent, a sleeping bag, and a torch. Take a tracksuit for mornings and evenings in game parks, with shorts for the daytime. A jacket and warm socks are a good idea as it can get cold at night. Other items which will be handy are a small travel alarm, a basic first aid kit, a water bottle, a towel, a camera and film, a penknife, and any batteries that you need. Take insect repellent, suncream, and a money belt.
Warm clothing will be of great importance to everyone. Between May and September you should take several pairs of thick socks, heavy windproof gloves, high-protection sunglasses, a wool hat, a jumper, hiking shorts, wool shirt and trousers ( jeans are cold and uncomfortable when wet ), and a water proof jacket. Travellers in winter need to prepare for Arctic conditions. If you’re camping, take your own stove, and as much dried food as possible.
4. Imagine you’re going to one of these countries. How many things have you got already and what would you have to buy?
5. There are lots of compound nouns in the texts, like sleeping bag. How
many can you make from these words? Match the two parts.

Text A. The least successful traveller
The least successful traveler on record is an Italian, Mr. Nicolas Scotti. In 1977, Mr. Scotti set off from San Francisco to fly to Italy. On the way, his plane stopped at Kennedy Airport for an hour to refuel. Mr. Scotti thought he was in Italy and got out. He then spent two days in New York, believing he was in Rome.
Scotti expected his friends to meet him at the airport, and when they didn’t arrive, he tried to find his own way to their address. As he travelled round the city, he was surprised to see that many of Rome’s historic monuments has disappeared, but decided it was due to modernization. He also noticed that many people spoke English with an American accent. It didn’t worry him, because he assumed that Americans got everywhere. That also explained why there were so many English street signs.
Scotti had to ask a policeman the way to the bus depot, and of course, he asked in Italian. By chance, the policeman was a native of Naples, and he replied, of course, in fluent Italian.
He travelled around on a bus for twelve hours until the driver delivered him to a second policeman, and that was when the argument started. Mr. Scotti was amazed that the Rome police force could employ someone who didn’t speak a word of Italian. Even when everyone told him he was in New York, he refused to believe it. To get him back to San Francisco, the police drove him to the airport at top speed, with sirens screaming. “You see” ,said Scotti to his interpreter, “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how they drive here”,
Souvenirs. Presents.
Text B
Where the tourists dare
To find some really offbeat souvenirs, be ready to search through some places beyond traditional souvenirs shops
Have you ever heard what Russian guides and souvenir sellers think of us tourists? ‘We know what y’all really need: food, WC and souvenirs’, one of the Golden Ring bus tour guides pointed out. Still there is some point in postponing souvenir shopping until you get some time off. I believe that some real artifacts in snowy Russia will definitely be a better catch.
Valenki (felt boots) are daily used by those who need to spend hours outdoors in winter. In addition to a pair of valenki, don’t forget to buy a pair of galoshi (rubber overshoes) to protect your footwear from slush.
Knitted hosiery will do great at warming your feet during and after long trips in cold and nasty weather. Hand-knitted socks of 100 % wool are on sale near most Moscow metro stations.
There’s nothing better than salted cucumbers among Russian lunch snacks; don’t mistake them then for widely popular pickled cucumbers, for the taste is quite different. Salted cucumbers are sold at any local Russian market.
Since time the immemorial samovars were providing Russian tea-lovers with infinite boiling water supply, as a typical samovar contains over 5 liters of water. Do not forget to ask for a samovar pipe. Authentic accessories to your samovar will be a set of glasses and cup-holders (available on sale in antique shops and flea markets).

Text A. British food.
Read the text and answer the questions:
Why do the British prefer buying ready-made meals from the shops?
When did the British become interested in fast food?
What international fast foods have spread to every corner of the British Isles?
British food has an image problem. Every other country seems to have an established national cuisine, and to be proud of it. India has curries, Italy has pizza and pasta, Turkey has kebabs, Germany has tasty sausages, China has all sorts of stir-fried delicacies. So what is Britain famous for? It used to be renowned for roast beef but even that has gone out of fashion.
The sad truth is that most of the British gave up cooking a long time ago and started buying ready-made meals from the shops. They love tins, tubes, packets and frozen foods of all kinds.
One children’s favourite is baked beans on toast. There is some logic in tinned beans, as cooking beans at home takes a long time. Rather stranger is tinned spaghetti, another kid’s classic. Spaghetti really is better freshly cooked, but young people seem to be addicted to something in processed food.
Of course, convenience food is an international phenomenon, but it started earlier and has gone further in Britain than in most countries.
British food didn’t always suffer from an inferiority complex. If you go back to the time of Queen Elizabeth1 (1558-1603), people really knew how to eat and drink. Country houses had special herb gardens full of rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, fennel and basil. (These herbs were very important as they were used in medicine as well as in cooking.) Chefs used to travel around Europe to get new ideas and ingredients.
The reign of Elizabeth1 was also the time when British explorers sailed all over the world. They brought back all sorts of exotic foods: rice and tea from China, spices such as cumin and cardamon from India, coffee and dates from Arabia. In the Americas they found tomatoes, maize, peanuts, pineapples, sugar cane, hot chillis and vanilla.
Perhaps the most important American vegetable is the potato, but there is a mistery about when it came to Europe, and who brought it there. The British claim it was the Elizabethan explorer, Sir Walter Raleigh, around 1585. In the town of Offenburg in Baden, Germany, there is a monument to another English sea captain, Sir Francis Drake, with the inscription:”…introducer of the potato into Europe in the year of our Lord 1580.” In fact, it originates in Peru, and it was probably introduced by the Spanish. Whoever it was deserves a big thank-you. What would the British do without mashed, boiled and roast potato, chips and crisps?
In the past, without cookbooks and TV programmes, women learnt from their mothers and grandmothers; and spent hours every day in the kitchen. But then, around the end of the 18th century, life in Britain changed dramatically. The industrial revolution took families from farms in the country, and put them into small houses in crowded, new cities like Manchester and Birmingham. Men and women ( and often children, too) worked long hours in factories. So they no longer had the time or the energy to cook properly at home.
There was already an interest in fast food. In 1762, the Earl of Sandwich had invented a snack consisting of two pieces of bread and something in the middle. He was a keen card-player and didn’t like wasting time on meals. Sandwiches became popular with busy working people. So did fried fish and bread, and in 1870 a French invention caught on in Britain- pommes de terre à la mode. Under the new term ‘chips’, they were very popular indeed, and fish ‘n’ chips became Britain’s first great fast-food classic.
It is still a big favourite, but now has a lot of competition from those thoroughly international fast foods- pizzas and hamburgers. As in the rest of the world, American giants like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut have spread to every corner of the British Isles. If you are in this country, why not take a break from burgers at least once and try fish ‘n’ chips? It is very simple food, but quite healthy (the fish comes straight from the Atlantic Ocean), and very filling.

Text B. National restaurants.
In the 20th century lots of people came to the UK from the colonies and ex-colonies: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, from West Africa and the Caribbean, from Hong Kong and the Greek-Turkish island of Cyprus. There were already many other immigrants living in Britain, especially Irish, Jews and Italians. All these people brought with them their own ways of eating, and they did not simply give them up on arrival in their new home. Far from it. Immigrants are usually keen to preserve their own traditions, and food is one of the most powerful parts of a culture. You may stop wearing the traditional clothes, you may forget your music, your language, even your religion, but when you see and smell a dish that your grandmother used to make, you are suddenly a member of the community again.
Some of these newcomers realized that there was a niche in the market for new and exciting food, so they opened restaurants. The British diet was transformed from a dull menu of boiled vegetables and roast meat to a fantastic mix of international delicacies!
Indian restaurants. The British use the general term Indian although many, if not most, of the restaurants are actually Pakistani; others are Bangladeshi or Sri Lankan. The general term curry is used to describe a wide range of different dishes; what they have in common are strong colours, smells and flavours. Spices and herbs are the essence of Indian cooking: garlic, chillies, coriander, ginger, cumin and many others. In fact, Indian food is totally different from traditional British food- and yet it has become massively popular. In Britain there are more Indian restaurants than any other type. They are not only in the big cities- you will find one in almost every small town. Curry is now officially the country’s most popular restaurant dish, having overtaken the traditional fish ’n’ chips! More than two million British people go out for an Indian meal each week. Add to that the millions of ready-made Indian meals which are bought in supermarkets and taken home to the microwave-and all the Indian-style meals that the British now cook themselves, with varying degrees of success!
Italian restaurants. Children in Britain grow up eating spaghetti, and take away pizza is one of the top fast foods. But there is another reason why Italian restaurants have a special place in the history of food in Britain. There has been an Italian community there for more than 100 years, and Italian coffee bars and restaurants in the 1950s and 1960s gave the British their first introduction to foreign food. Once their natural conservatism had been broken down by a cappuccino and a plate of lasagne, Londoners were ready to experiment. Soon the whole country was enjoying the food of Italy.
Chinese restaurants. Chinese restaurant menus often have more than 100 different dishes on them. There are several reasons for this. Chinese history goes back a long way, and ancestors and traditions are very important; so the old ways- and the old recipes- are not forgotten. Also, China is a very big country, with distinct regions such as Beijing, Szechuan and Guangzhou, each having its own cuisine. But most important is the Chinese way of eating: they like lots of different, small dishes at a meal rather then one or two big ones. Meat, fish, chicken and vegetables are often stir-fried in a wok: cooked quickly without much oil. The results are fresh and delicious, and should be eaten immediately. (Take away Chinese food is often very disappointing- it loses that all-important freshness).
Greek restaurants. There are a lot of Greeks in Britain, but actually not many come from Greece. Most are from the island of Cyprus, which used to be British. Their most typical dish, the kebab( meat and salad in an envelope of hot pitta bread), is perfect for eating in the street: that is why there are so many Greek and Turkish take away restaurants. But the Greeks are also famous for creating an atmosphere in their restaurants, with bouzouki music and traditional dancing, sometimes on the tables. Greek food has really caught on in Britain. In every supermarket you will find hummus, taramasalata, Greek yoghurt and pitta bread.
Notes.
essence -сущность
to overtake -догонять, перегонять что-либо
wok -котелок с выпуклым днищем
bouzouki -греческая гитара
to catch on in Britain -стать модным, привиться в Британии

Text A Shops and shopping in Britain.
Read the text and answer the following questions:
Why are the high streets of Britain beginning to look more and more the same?
What is a corner shop?
What famous British department stores do you know?
What do street markets specialize in?
Why do people from the surrounding villages come to market towns?
Why are many high street and corner shops closing?
What can you find in a British shopping complex?
In the centre of most towns and villages there is a main street with lots of different shops. This street is usually called the High Street. The high streets of Britain are beginning to look more and more the same. This is because they are full of branches of big chain-stores.
One of the best-known chain-stores is Marks& Spencer, which cells clothes and food. The company has over 700 stores world-wide and has a reputation for good quality. If you buy something that you decide you don’t like, you can take it back and get your money back.
The corner shop. Eighty-seven per cent of British people live less than a mile from their local corner shop. A corner shop is a small shop on, or near, a street corner. Many are run by Indian or Pakistani families. Most corner shops sell food and newspapers. They are open until late in the evening, as well as on Sundays.
Department stores. Department stores are found in all big cities. They are big shops where you can find almost everything you want and which offer a wide choice of things. The most famous British department store, Harrods, started as a small grocery shop in 1849. The present store has more than 300 departments and a staff over 4000 people. Prices are not always as high as you may well expect. The spectacular food hall, decorated with Edwardian tiles, has splendid display of fish, cheese, fruit and vegetables; other specialities include fashions for all ages, china and glass, electronics and kitchenware.
Though Harrods is still just as popular, especially with well-heeled visitors, Londoners often head instead for nearby Harvey Nichols, which aims to stock the best of everything with the price tags to match. Clothes are particular strong, with the emphasis firmly on very high fashion, with many talented British, European and American names represented. There is also an impressive menswear section. The food hall, opened in 1992, is one of the most stylish in London.
Selfridge’s vast building on Oxford Street houses everything from Gucci bags and Hermes scarves to household gadgets and bed-linen. Miss Selfridge, the popular high street fashion chain, also has a branch in the store.
The original John Lewis was a draper and his shop still has a gorgeous selection of fabrics and haberdashery. It’s china, glass and household items make John Lewis, and it’s well-known Sloan Square partner, Peter Johns, equally popular with Londoners.
Liberty, the last privately owned department store in London, still sells the hand-blocked silks and other oriental goods it was famed for when it opened in 1875. Look out for the famous scarf department.
Fortnum and Mason’s ground floor provisions department is so engrossing that the upper floors of classic fashion remain peaceful. The food section stocks everything from baked beans to the beautifully prepared hampers.
Street markets. Street markets are both cheep and fun. Most markets sell fruits and vegetables, clothes, things for the house, records and jewellery. In London, there are about 40 or 50 markets. Some specialize in flowers, pets or second-hand books.
Camden Lock Market has grown swiftly since its opening in 1974. Handmade crafts, new and second-hand street fashions, wholefoods, books, records and antiques from the bulk of the goods that are on sale, although thousands of young people come here simply for the atmosphere, especially at weekends. This is enhanced by the buskers and street performers who draw the crowds to the attractive cobbled area around the canal.
Some towns are called market towns: a market is held there, usually once a week. People come from the surrounding villages to do their shopping.
Out-of-town shopping. Many small high streets and corner shops are closing because people prefer to drive to a shopping complex outside town. There they can park their cars without any problems and do all their shopping in one place. In a British shopping complex, you usually find a supermarket, a branch of the most of the chain-stores, some smaller shops, a few cafes and sometimes a multi-screen cinema. Most of the new shopping complexes are built near big roads, outside town. Here you can also find “superstores”. These enormous shops sell their products more cheaply than in the high-street shops. Many of the superstores are branches of chain-stores from countries outside Britain, such as Ikea and Aldi.

Use the information from the text in the following situation:
Imagine that you are in London. Which shops and markets would you like to go to?
True or false?
One of the best-known chain-stores Marks &Spencer sells food and newspapers.
In a British corner shop you usually find a supermarket, a branch of most of the chain-stores, some smaller shops, a few cafés and sometimes a multi-screen cinema.
The most famous British department stores are Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridge, John Lewis, Liberty and Fortnum and Mason.
Fortnum and Mason started as a small grocery shop in 1849.
John Lewis has a gorgeous selection of fabrics and haberdashery.
Street markets are very popular, especially with well-heeled visitors.
Most of the shopping complexes are closing because people prefer to drive to small high street and corner shops.
“Superstores” are enormous shops which sell their products more cheaply than in the high-street shops.
Text B Shops in Russia.
Read the text and answer the following questions:
What specialized shops were mentioned in the text?
What factors can explain the popularity of supermarkets?
How do people pay for their shopping?
Small shops which are still numerous in our towns generally deal only in certain goods. They may be called specialized (or specialist) shops. At the grocer’s you can buy a variety of food stuffs, such as flour, butter, eggs, biscuits, jam and jellies, cheese, sugar, spice, tinned and frozen foods. The greengrocer’s deals in fruit and vegetables. If you go to the fruiterer’s, you can buy there various kinds of fruit, but not vegetables. The florist’s sells flowers and plants, wreaths and bouquets. We go to the fishmonger’s for fish, and to the poulterer’s if we want to buy poultry- chickens, ducks, geese or turkeys. A milkshop is called a dairy. There we buy dairy produce- milk, butter, cheese, cream and eggs. When we run out of bread we go to the baker’s and ask for a loaf of white or brown bread. A cake shop sells pastries and cakes of all kinds. The confectioner’s always has a good choice of sweets- chocolates, bars of chocolate, toffees and other tempting things that make every child’s mouth water.
In our towns there are shopping centres which have several departments to sell various food stuffs under one roof; there you can see the bakery department, the grocery department, the confectionery department, etc.
And of course we must mention supermarkets which have become so popular with customers in our big towns and cities. These spacious supermarkets are well-stocked with a lot of beautifully arranged goods. There you can buy practically all you need in the way of foods- groceries, meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread and cakes, baby foods, and many other things. The goods are ready-packed and have clearly-marked prices on them; they are displayed on shelves, in reach-in refrigerator units or in trolleys and are always within easy reach for the customers. Many factors can explain the popularity of such shops: first of all they have an excellent assortment of goods; secondly, you have an opportunity to choose the goods you like- they are displayed openly for you to choose from; then the service is swift there; and, which is of great importance, you save a lot of your precious time if you buy everything in one shop, under one roof.
If we want to buy things, we can go either to specialized shops or large department stores. For example, we buy cloth at a draper’s and ready-made clothes at a dress shop, a man’s outfitter’s or a department store. The tailor’s and the dress-maker’s make clothes made to measure for men and women. The hosier’s sells hosiery or knitted goods like stockings, socks and underclothes.
Those who need paper, pens, ink, rubbers, rulers, notebooks, exercise-books, clips, drawing-pins and glue can get them at the stationer’s. The bookseller’s sells books and magazines. The jeweller’s sells jewellery, and also things of gold and silver. The china shop has a large stock of china, porcelain and kitchenware. A chemist’s sells many things besides medicines- perfume, toilet articles such as soap, toothpaste, sponges and toothbrushes.
Nowadays we can buy a lot of things either for cash or hire-purchase, that is the customer pays the deposit (or a down payment) on the goods and pays off the balance in installments. Payment may be spread over a period of up to two years. This hire-purchase system helps people to buy such expensive things as refrigerators, TV sets, washing machines, sewing and knitting machines, sets of furniture, and many other things.

Text C Presents and souvenirs in British shops.
Read the text and answer the following questions:
1. What presents can one find in London’s shops?
2. Why do people buy souvenirs?
London is a wonderful place to shop for presents. As well as an impressive array of original ceramics, jewellery, perfume and glassware, there is exotic merchandise from around the world, including jewellery from India and Africa, stationary from Europe and kitchenware from France and Italy. The elegant, Regency-period Burlington Arcade is a popular shopping destination selling high-quality gifts, clothes, art and crafts, many of which are made in the UK.
The shops at big museums, such as the Victoria and Albert, the Natural History and the Science Museum often have unusual and original items to take home as mementos of your visit, while Contemporary Applied Arts, Thomas Neal’s shopping complex and the market in Covent Garden Piazza all sell a good range of British pottery, jewellery, knitwear and other crafts. If you want to buy all your presents under one roof, you can go to Liberty, where beautiful stock from all over the globe fills every department.
Jewellery shops in London range from the extremely traditional to the tiny shops. Butler and Wilson has some of the most eye-catching costume jewellery in town, while next door Electrum keeps less bold but equally innovative pieces.
Mulberry Company stocks classically English luggage, as well as accessories such as belts, purses and wallets, and Janet Fitch sells a wide range of bags, belts, jewellery, hats and other essential accessories.
Many British perfumeries use recipes that are hundreds of years old. Floris and Penhaligon’s, for example, still manufactures the same flower-based scents and toiletries for men and women that they sold in the 19th century. Other manufacturers have a more contemporary approach to their wares; for example, the Body Shop.

Dialogue 1 What you spend your money on.
Read an interview with Tanya and David. They are talking about what they spend their money on.
Interviewer: What do you spend your money on when you have it, Tanya?
Tanya : Oh, holidays. I don’t spend anything for month. I just save and save,
then, when I have enough, I go off for a week or two or longer- so-
mewhere I’ve never been before or just somewhere warm to relax.
And when I’m not on holiday I spend money on books.
Interviewer: Travel books?
Tanya: Yes, well, all kinds of books, really.
Interviewer: David, what about you?
David: Well, I’m a student, as you know, so I haven’t got much money,
unfortunately. What I have goes on music- CDs, mostly.
Interviewer: What kind of music?
David: Everything- classical, jazz, pop. I also like going to pop concerts,
but they cost a lot, so, you know ‘cos the tickets are so expensive.
I also love clothes so if there is a sale, I buy casual thins- jeans,
shirts, jackets-that sort of thing.
Interviewer: What kind of souvenirs do you bring back from your travels, Tanya?
Tanya: I usually buy something for the house or garden- you know, wooden
parrots, big plant pots for my garden, small rugs. But it can be very
difficult to bring souvenirs back. I once sat on a fifteen hour flight with an enormous plant pot on my knee- so big I couldn’t see over the top. Then at the airport I put it down for a second and somebody fell over it and broke it!
Interviewer: Oh no!
Tanya: I wasn’t very pleased! I also love jewellery, so- for example in
South America I bought lots of earrings and big necklaces.
Interviewer: And you, David?
David: Well, music of course and also whatever’s cheap- clothes in the States are cheap, for example. I collect T-shirts.
Interviewer: Really? How many have you got?
David: Oh, I’ve got about forty of them from all over the world. But you have to be careful- I remember one holiday I spent a long time deciding which T-shirt to buy and when I got back home they had exactly the same one in our local shop!

Text A Health
When we are ill, we call a doctor, and he examines us and diagnoses the illness. When we have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cold, or a pain in some parts of the body, we call a doctor. He takes our temperature and our pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or the part where we have pain, and tells us what the matter is with us. The doctor prescribes medicine, and gives us a prescription, which we take to the chemist's, who makes up the medicine. If you follow the doctor's orders, you get better; if you disobey the doctor, you may get worse, and even die. We must obey the doctor, if we want to get better. If we have a temperature, we must stay in bed and take the medicine he prescribes. If we cannot get better at home we must go to hospital. If we are too ill to walk, we go to hospital in the ambulance. After our illness we can go to a sanatorium until we are strong again. When we have toothache, we go to the dentist's. He examines our teeth, finds the tooth which hurts us, stops or extracts it. Now here in Russia health system incorporates a variety of medical institutions. The medical service in Russia is of two kinds. Some state establishments give their employees medical insurance cards. They guarantee the people free of charge medical assistance. Some medical establishments charge fees for treatment. They may be rather high, but our medical service now uses all modem equipment and medicines and provides qualified medical help to all people.
Answer the questions:
What do we usually do when we are ill?
What does the doctor do to examine us?
Why do we must follow the doctor’s orders?
What is the Russian health system?
Text B “Physical Diagnosis” (abridged from “Consider the season”by R.Merliss)
The afternoons were devoted to a new course, physical diagnosis, in which students practised the technique of examination on one another. Dan and Noble again were partners. They spent a whole week learning how to use a stethoscope.
“Take a deep breath. Now hold it. Now cough.” After the cough Dan heard something odd in the right lung. He put the stethoscope down. “I think you have got rales in the right lung.”
“What do you think it means?” ”May be a cold.”
Noble looked around. Then he said quietly, “My mother and father both died of tuberculosis.”
“Have you been swimming lately? Maybe you got some water in your lungs.”
“I have lost eleven pounds.”
“May be you ought to get an X-ray.”
“Be quiet,” Noble whispered fiercely. “If they find out about this I’ll be put in a sanatorium. I won’t get out for a couple of years, and I won’t finfish the medical school then. I’ll be out of money.”
“Are you sweating at night?”
“Sometimes I sweat. Don’t you?”
“Not much. You ever run a fever?”
Noble felt his own forehead. “I don’t know,” he said.
“Get a thermometer. Take your temperature whenever you get a chance, particularly in the late afternoon.”
Noble looked at him. “Don’t tell anybody about this,” he said.
“You ought to see a doctor. The school doesn’t have to know anything about this.”
“It’s a reportable disease.”
Dan had forgotten. All cases of tuberculosis had to be reported.
In the evening Dan took Noble to the laboratory after everybody had left. They looked at Noble’s sputum under the microscope.
“They look like TB germs to me,” noble said. “I ran a fever and sweated a lot last night. I lost three more pounds. I can’t eat at all now.”
“You ought to go to a doctor. You have to get an X-ray.”
“I’m not going to a doctor. Don’t give me away.”
So Dan managed to get Noble into X-ray unnoticed. He took his chest X-ray and developed the film. When Noble looked at the picture he was sure it was tuberculosis. Dan was not sure. He showed the picture to Dr.Rosenthal, who said that the picture was badly overexposed and he couldn’t tell a thing.
That night Noble didn’t go home. His sister had a little baby and he was afraid that he was contagious. He slept at Dan’s. All through the night Dan heard him moving restlessly and coughing. In the morning Dan drove directly to the hospital and took Noble to Dr.Rosenthal. The doctor took out his stethoscope. After a while he asked Dan where he had heard those rales. Dan showed him. The doctor handed him the scope. “Find them for me.” Dan heard nothing but the soft movement of air in Noble’s lungs. Then Dr. Rosenthal listened again.
“Have you had a cold?”
Noble nodded. “I am just getting over one.”
Rosenthal shrugged. “You got mixed up between coarse rales and fine rales.” He said to Dan.
“What?” Noble said, “I can’t eat and I have been sweating and I am feeling lousy.”
“I’d feel the same way if I thought I had tuberculosis. All you have is a cold,” Dr.Rosenthal said.
Answer the questions.
Who were Dan and Noble?
Why didn’t Noble want to get a chest X-ray?
What made them both think that Noble had got tuberculosis?
Why didn’t Noble go home one night?
Why did Dan take Noble to see Dr.Rosenthal?
What was Dr.Rosenthal’s opinion of Dan’s diagnosis?
What was the final diagnosis?

Dialogue 1 Symptoms of an Illness.
A: What's the matter, you look unwell (seedy), your eyes are red and there is fullness (there are bags) under them. Have you fallen ill?
B: I didn't sleep a wink last night. I had such an awful stomach-ache that I was on the point of calling for urgent medical aid. However, after I took some soothing pills, the pain subsided (abated, became less).
A: Is it the first time you've had stomach trouble?
B: I have occasional attacks (bouts) of indigestion if I eat anything my stomach doesn't agree with, but that is a rare case. A couple of years ago I thought my stomach could digest nails.
A: It might have been an attack of appendicitis this time
B: I don't think so. My brother has been operated on for appendicitis and he knows all the symptoms of this disease With me it's something quite different.
A: You'll have to consult a specialist.
B: I hate going to doctors.
A: Who doesn't? But pluck up your courage, old boy. A specialist will diagnose your case, but first be prepared to have your gastric juice tested and some analyses taken. He will prescribe a strict diet and some inoffensive drug for the time being.
Notes:
soothing pills — болеутоляющие таблетки;
pain-killer (colloq) — болеутоляющее средство;
indigestion — плохое пищеварение, расстройство желудка;
a bout of indigestion — расстройство желудка.
his stomach can digest nails — Его желудок может переваривать гвозди.
an attack of asthma, appendicitis ... — приступ астмы и т.п.;
to pluck up one's courage — собраться с духом;
gastric juice — желудочный сок;
inoffensive drug — безвредное (слабое) лекарство.
Dialogue 2 Between Two Boys on Injuries
B: (Seeing his friend come out of the doctor's office.) Hello, Mike, what happen to you? Why is your arm in a sling.
M: I had a bad fall from a bicycle and broke my arm.
B: Mow awful! Have you any pain now?
M: It still hurts, but not so much as before. The fractured (broken) bone has been set and now my arm is in plaster of Paris.
B: So you can't use your arm now, can you?
M: I shan't be able to use it until the plaster is taken off. And now what are you doing here?
B: You see, I sprained my ankle today when jumping on a gym-horse.
M: Weil, it's nothing much to come to the doctor with. Apply a cold compress to it overnight and you'll get the swelling down. I'm sure. I had that sort of thing a year ago. I was limping for a few days, that's all.
Notes:
In a sling — на перевязи;
plaster of Paris — гипс;
to sprain the ankle — вывихнуть ногу в голеностопном суставе.
Dialogue 3 At the Dentist's
D: What's troubling you?
A: One of my front tooth is working loose, and there's a big one (a wisdom tooth) at the back that wants seeing to.
D: Yon have to have this one out. It is a pity you didn't have it looked at (seen to) before.
A: I wish to goodness I had.
D: Does that other tooth pain (hurt) you now?
A: Not particularly, just a dull steady pain.
D: The tooth is decaying and must be stopped, (filled)... (The doctor reaches for the drill, then cleans and drills the tooth with it, inserts a piece of cotton wool in the cavity (hole) and proceeds to тaке a filling.) This will be a temporary filling, I'll make a permanent one next time. Now we'll attend to the front tooth. Shall I apply an anaesthetic to deaden the pain?
A: Yes, if you please.
D: Here is your tooth extracted (pulled out). Now rinse your mouth, please.
A: (Rising from the chair and looking into the mirror.) The empty space doesn’t improve my looks any. How about having a false tooth in?
D: You’ll have to have a small bridge made and two crowns on which to suspend a false tooth. I may direct you to a dental mechanic and he will do this for you.

Text A My Hobby
A hobby is a favorite pastime of a person. Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting.
Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things & learning things.
The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things from gardening to traveling, from chess to volley-ball.
Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculptures, designing costumes & playing musical instruments. Almost everyone collects something at some period of his life: stamps, coins, books, records, postcards toys.
Some collections have no real value. Others become so large & valuable that they are housed in museums & galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rate books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
The choice of the hobby depends on the subculture people live in. The life of many young people in Russia as well as in other countries of the world is influenced by popular culture. Newspapers, radio and especially TV inform us of what is going on in this world and give us wonderful possibilities for education and entertainment. They also influence the way we see the world and shape our views.
The young follow certain stereotypes that are imposed on them through TV, movies, and music. In their lifestyle they try to imitate the images of their idols. Other young people are sports and music fans. They frequent stadiums and huge concert halls. They follow their idols in their tours and support them.
But many young people have other interests. For some of them getting knowledge is of primary importance. They are fond of reading serious books, listening to serious music. They go to the conservatory and theatres. They are engaged in Hi-Tech through the Internet. They are fond of stories and novels.
The fitness boom of the past decades led to a big rise in the numbers of people participating in sport activities. Those who pursue the latest fitness fashion are convinced that staying in good physical form requires much more than regular exercise and balanced meals. For anyone who really wants to be healthy, fitness has become an integral part of their lives. A lot of health and fitness club, and public leisure centers indicate the popularity of sports during the past thirty years. There are many opportunities for keeping fit. First of all it's necessary to do exercises. Running, jumping, swimming, bending and stretching are among the most popular exercises. Many people prefer jogging, which is the cheapest and the most accessible sport. Popular running competitions are now held everywhere. The big city marathons have become sporting events. A healthy body becomes a fashion, an ideal of the modern life.
Text B Theatre
Theatres are very much the same in London as anywhere else; the chief theatres, music halls and cinemas are in the West End. If you are staying in London for a few days, you will have no difficulty whatever in finding somewhere to spend an evening. You will find opera, comedy, drama, revue, musi cal comedy, variety, cinemas and talkies. The performances start at about eight or half past, and finish about eleven. Ci nema performances, as a rule, go on for the greater part of the day.
The best seats are those in the stalls, in the dress circle, End the upper circle. Then comes the pit and last of the entire gallery. Boxes, of course, are more expensive. Most theatres and music halls have good orchestras, with popular conductors.
The opera house is at Covent Garden; you ought to go there at least once during the season if you can.
There you get the best of everything — a first rate orchest ra, famous conductors, celebrated singers. But, of course, if you are not fond of music, this won't interest you. At the West-End theatres you can see most of the famous English actors and actresses. As a rule, the plays are staged well. Cho ose a good play, and you'll enjoy yourself thoroughly from the moment the curtain goes up, to the end of the last act. Get your seat beforehand, either at the box-office of the theatre it self or at one of the agencies.
Small conversations in a theater

Text C THE CINEMA
There was a good picture at the Columbia Theatre last week, so Virginia and Robert decided to see it. They arrived at the theatre at seven o'clock, in time for the newsreel. (In cities in the United States, shows usually begin at one o'clock in the afternoon and are continuing until midnight.)
Robert wanted to sit in the balcony; but because Virginia preferred to sit downstairs, they sat on the main floor.
After the newsreel they saw a short and a preview of the coming attraction. They heard perfectly because the sound equipment was good. The main feature was about college life, as Hollywood in terprets if, and was very entertaining. In the picture, the stu dents played football, went to dances, and sang songs to pret ty girls. In fact, they did everything but study. The acting and music were good, but the film did not show how most Ameri can students really live.
Virginia sees many pictures, and she says that they do not present a true picture of American life. The pictures often exag gerate or emphasize the sensational and exceptional instead of showing how most people in the United States really live. The fact is that most Americans usually go to the pictures for amu sement; they want to escape from the monotonous routine of everyday life. They do not take the cinema seriously, because they know that the films are made especially to entertain the public.
Answer the following questions:
What time do shows usually begin in the United States? 2. What time do they end? 3. Do you like to go to the cinema? 4. What time do you usually go to the cinema? 5. Do you like to sit in the balcony or on the main floor? 6. Who are your favorite actors and actresses? 7. How often do you go to the cinema? 8. Did you go to the cinema last night? 9. What picture did you see last night? 10. Did you like the picture? 11. Who was the star in the film?
Retell the text using the following words and expressions
1 picture, show, short, preview, to entertain, enter taining, acting, star, amusement. 2. To sit in the balcony, to sit on the main floor, main feature film.

Text B Some modern means of communication
|
Telegraph |
Telegraph services use both wire line and wireless media for transmissions. Soon after the introduction of the telegraph in 1844, telegraph wires spanned the country. Telegraph companies maintained a system of wires and offices located in numerous cities. A message sent by telegraph was called a telegram. Telegrams were printed on paper and delivered to the receiving party by the telegraph company. With the invention of the radio in the early 1900s, telegraph signals could also be sent by radio waves. Wireless telegraphy made it practical for oceangoing ships as well as aircraft to stay in constant contact with land-based stations.
|
Telephone |
The telephone network also uses both wire line and wireless methods to deliver voice communications between people, and data communications between computers and people or other computers. The part of the telephone network that currently serves individual residences and many businesses operates in an analog mode and relays electronic signals that are continuous, like the human voice. Digital transmission is now used in some sections of the telephone network that send large amounts of calls over long distances. The telephone network is stable and reliable, because it uses its own wire system that is powered by low-voltage direct current from the telephone company
|
Hand-Held Radio Transceivers |
Police, fire, and other emergency organizations, as well as the military, have used two-way wireless radio communication since the 1930s. Early vehicle-based radios were large, heavy units. After the invention of the transistor in 1948, radios shrank in size to small hand-held radio transceivers, which civil authorities now use to communicate with each other directly. Public two-way radios with several frequency options are widely available as well. Usually limited in range to a few miles, these units are great aids for such mobile professionals as construction workers, film crews, event planners, and security personnel. Simpler two-way radios, called walkie-talkies, have been popular children’s toys for years.
|
Cellular Radio Telephones |
Cellular radio telephones, or cell phones, combine their portable radio capability with the wired, or wire line, telephone network to provide mobile users with access to the rest of the public telephone system used by non-mobile callers.
|
Satellite Communications |
Satellite communications services connect users directly to the telephone network from almost anywhere in the world. Special telephones are available to consumers that communicate directly with communications satellites orbiting the earth. The satellites transmit these signals to ground stations that are connected to the telephone system. These satellite services, while more expensive than cellular or other wireless services, give users access to the telephone network in areas of the world where no telephone service exists.
|
Computers |
Among the modern mean s of communication a special place is given to computers. When Charles Babbage, a professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, invented the first calculating machine in 1812 he couldn’t imagine the situation we find ourselves in today. Nearly everything we do in the world is helped, or even controlled by computers, the complicated descendants of his simple machine. Computers are used more and more often in the world today, for the simple reason that they are far more efficient than human beings. They have much better memories and they can store much information. No man alive can do 500000 sums in one second, but a computer can. In fact, computers can do many of the things we do, but faster and better. They can predict weather, and ever play chess, write poetry or compose music.

E-mail, in computer science, is an abbreviation of the term electronic mail, method of transmitting data or text files from one computer to another over an internet, intranet, or the Internet. E-mail enables computer users to send messages and data quickly through a local area network or beyond through a nationwide or worldwide communication network. E-mail messages sent outside of an internet are addressed according to the following convention: The first part of the address contains the user’s name, followed by the symbol @ (pronounced as at or monkey), the domain name, the institution’s or organization’s name, and finally the country name.
A typical e-mail address might be sally@abc.com. In 1995 alone, e-mail users sent approximately 25 billion messages.

World Wide Web (WWW) |
World Wide Web (WWW) is a computer-based network of information resources that a user can move through by using links from one document to another. The information on the World Wide Web is spread over computers all over the world. The World Wide Web is often referred to simply as "the Web."
The Web has become a very popular resource since it first became possible to view images and other multimedia on the Internet, a worldwide network of computers, in 1993. The Web offers a place where companies, institutions, and individuals can display information about their products, research, or their lives. Anyone with access to a computer connected to the Web can view most of that information. Museums, libraries, government agencies, and schools make the Web a valuable learning and research tool by posting data and research. The Web also carries information in a wide spectrum of formats. Users can read text, view pictures, listen to sounds, and even explore interactive virtual environments on the Web.

Text A (part 1) What’s the secret of successful language learning?
Read the following text and give your ways of learning the foreign languages.
We asked two experienced teachers of English for their opinion. Alastair Banton is a teacher at a private language school in the UK. He has also taught English in Japan.
I think the most important thing is that you really have to want to learn the language – without that, you won’t get very far. You also have to believe that you will do it… imagine yourself using the language confidently, and think. ‘Yes, I can do that’.
Then there are other things: of course you need to work hard but at the same time you need to enjoy it and not get frustrated when you feel you’re not making much progress. And you have to be realistic – learning a language takes time, and you can’t expect to know and understand everything in a few weeks!
Also, you should try to develop an ear for the language – not only to recognize the sounds of the language and to understand what people are saying, but also notice the exact words and phrases that people use… and then try to use them yourself. Some people can do this naturally, but others have to learn how to do it – that’s where having a good teacher is important!
Teresa Pelc is a teacher of English in Poland. She has taught English in a secondary school for a number of years.
For me, motivation is the most important thing. You have to be ready to study grammar, read a lot, listen to English songs, radio and TV, and what’s more you have to do these things systematically.
It is so easy to forget what you have just learnt… that’s why I needed a teacher to force me to study. Even the most motivated students need that extra push sometimes. I Believe that only a very few people can learn a language on their own.
Learning a language can be quite stressful, especially for adults… suddenly we speak like children and make fools of ourselves! But if you’re motivated, you learn to overcome this. It all sounds like very hard work – and it is. It is also very enjoyable – I praise my students for every thing they do well, however small it is. Many of them are very successful and speak English better than me, and some of them have even become English teachers themselves!
Text A (part 2) How different students organize their vocabulary learning.
1.I have a little notebook. It’s an address book with the letters of the alphabet, and I write the new words in two or three times a week. I write the English word first, then the translation, and a short sentence as an example. I try to learn ten new words a day.
2.I have a little notebook. I always have it with me. I try to fill one page a day. Sometimes I put words in groups, like fruit – all kinds of fruit, you know? Or colours, or clothes, or things and the shops where you buy them. I have some grammar pages, where I write irregular verbs, or a page for prepositions. I think prepositions are difficult, you know – on Sunday, in the morning, listen to a concert.
3. I stick little bits of paper all over my house! Sometimes I write what the thing is, er… On the mirror, I have mirror, on the door handle, I have door handle. Yeah, I know, it’s funny. My friends think ‘What’s the matter with her?’ but I like it. And sometimes I write the words that are new, from the last lesson, and I put the word on the … on the kitchen door and I see it every two minutes!
4. I write the new words on a little piece of paper, with the English on the one side and the Russian on the other side. I write the English word in a sentence so I know how to use it, and what words it’s used with. Then in my left pocket, I have the new words, and in the day, when I’m having a break or traveling on the bus, I take out the new words, and if I remember them they go into my right pocket. If I don’t remember them, they go into my left pocket again.
5. I am very lazy! I don’t do anything special at all! But I read a lot. I always have an English book in my bag. There are a lot of simple books, you know? Stories in easy English, they have questions at the back and they explain some difficult words, but I just enjoy the story and I think I learn new words and I don’t know I learn new words, but I see a word six, maybe seven times, and then I know it! And the stories are good!
6. I have a picture dictionary, which is good for learning words in groups, you know, jobs, the names for all the things in a car, like er … steering wheel, brake. But I don’t know how to pronounce the words.
7. I have a little cassette recorder, and after the lesson I record onto the tape the sentences that have the new words. Then when I am driving I can listen to them.
8. I like to look up words in my dictionary. Especially, l like to find different parts of speech for the same word, mm … act, actor, actress, adjective active, adverb actively, noun action. That I think is very useful – see! Use, useful, useless! A word family!
And something else! I always put a mark with my pencil next to the word I look up.Then, if I
look up the same word again, I think ‘Ah! This word, I must learn it this time!’
Text B Education. UK style.
Read the text about the higher education in Britain, and answer the questions:
Going on to further (college) or higher (university) education is quite common in the UK. Most universities and colleges do not have entrance examinations. Students are accepted if they get the necessary grades at school.
University students are called undergraduates and they spend three or four years studying for their degree (unless they want to be a doctor, which is seven years!).
Many students take a year out (a gap year) and travel round the world, or take a part-time or temporary job before they go to university or college.
Most students in the UK do not live at home. They often choose to go and study in another town or city. In the first year, many live in a ‘hall of residence’ (student accommodation which can be self-catering or with food provided). After that, many prefer to rent a room or a flat with other students.
Students in colleges of further education often take vocational qualifications to prepare them for a particular job they would like to do, such as computing or tourism.
At the end of their course, university students take their final examinations. Students who succeed in passing them graduate with a BA (Bachelor of Arts) or a BSc (Bachelor of Science) degree. The word ‘bachelor’ means ‘a man who is not married’. It was first used many years ago when all university students were men (and unmarried). Nowadays, there are as many women as men at universities in the UK, but we still use the word.
A large number of overseas students study in Britain. Most universities and colleges run language courses to help students study academic subjects in English.
Lots of students join clubs and societies when they go to university, such as drama societies and sports clubs. Many students look forward to taking part in ‘Rag Week’, a time when students raise money for charity.
Nightlife is very important for students in Britain. Universities and colleges often invite pop bands to come and play, and students enjoy throwing parties!
Notes: - a gap year - год между школой и университетом (не учебный)
self-catering accommodation - проживание за свой счет (самообеспечение)
to raise money for charity - заниматься сбором денег на благотворительность
a) Answer the questions:
How can you become a student in the UK?
How many years do the students spend studying for their degree?
What do the students usually do in their free time?
b) Talk about the student’s life in our country. The following questions will help you.

Is there a university in your town? If so, how many students study there?
How common is it for students to take a gap year?
Do university students usually live at home or in a hall of residence?

Dialogue Bert Atkins talks about his school days
I = Interviewer
B = Bert
I: When did you start school, Bert?
B: Well, … er, I was born in, 1919 and I started school when I was five, so that was 1924. It was just a little village school, only 20 of us in all. I don’t think it had a name, we just called it ‘ The Little School’. And we stayed there till we were ten, and then we moved to ‘ The Big Boys School’ in the next village. I don’t think that had a name either, it was always just ‘ The Big Boys School’.
I: And what can you remember about your first school?
B: Well, you know the first thing they taught us, all of us, boys and girls? The very first thing they taught us … was knitting. It seems strange, doesn’t it? But we all had to learn to knit. We couldn’t learn to read and write till we’d learnt to knit!
I: Why was that? Was there a reason?
B: Oh yes, there was a reason all right. You see, all had to knit our own cloth to clean our slate. We weren’t allowed to use paper and pencils, at least on until we were seven years old. They were too expensive, so we had to use chalk and a slate for the first two years. So you see it was a good idea, knitting a cloth. I think that’s what I remember most about the Little School.
I: And when you were ten you moved to the Big Boys? Did you have to take any exams to go there?
B: Oh, no, I don’t remember any exams. When you were ten you just started walking to the next village to “The Big Boys”. There was no transport, you see, you had to walk. It was about four miles. I didn’t get a bike till I was fourteen, and of course I’d left school by then. You had to leave at fourteen in those days.
I: And what about ‘The Big Boys’? Did you enjoy it?
B: Ooh, in the beginning I was terrified. There were so many really big boys, and the teachers were really strict. You had to behave in ‘The Big Boys’!
I: What did you have to do?
B: Well, we had to stand behind our desks at the start of every lesson, we weren’t allowed to talk at all in class, ever, well … er, only if the teacher asked a question. The headmaster, Tom Bevan he was called – we called him Bossy Bevan. He was really strict, we were terrified of him, terrified of him, terrified. Once he hit a boy so hard he broke his nose. But he never hit me, no. the worst punishment I got was writing lines after school, and that was for coming late. In the winter, it was, and in all the snow and I arrived ten minutes late. Huh …, I had to write one hundred times, ‘I must leave home early. I must not arrive late’. One hundred times. But I was never hit, never.
I: And did you have to do much homework?
B: Homework? No – we never got homework. I don’t remember any homework. We didn’t have to do any. The teachers never thought about it. I think they’d had enough of us after each day. They didn’t want more work!
I: so were your schooldays the happiest days of your life?
B: Ooh no! Never. I don’t think I had an education really. The happiest time of my life was when I was in India during the war. It’s the only time I’ve been abroad.

When foreign visitors come to our office, I can’t understand them. I ask them to speak slowly, but it’s still difficult. My English teacher says my pronunciation is difficult to understand too, but my main problem is listening. I need more practice.
I have a very busy working day and often I’m still in the office at eight or nine at night. But English is our company language so I have to learn it. I study for half an hour every night when I get home. The trouble is I’m not making fast enough progress.
My teacher says people can learn a language at any age but I’m not sure that’s true. My memory is the problem. I’m getting old and I find it difficult to remember new English words.
I’m nervous about speaking English on the telephone. It’s difficult when you can’t see the person you’re talking to. There are lots of long pauses while I think what to say.
I have to attend meeting that are held in English with our suppliers. I know what to say but I can’t find the right words. I often have to use ten words instead of one. My vocabulary is too small. I need to learn more words.
Now read how the people plan to solve their problems. Match these solutions to the correct problem. Are they going to do any of the things you suggested? Do you think they are good solutions?
‘Before I make a call, I’m going to make a note of what I want to say. I can look up any words I don’t know in a dictionary. I’ll feel more confident’.
I’m going to get up half an hour earlier in the mornings and study English then. I think better first thing. It’s “quality” time.
I’m going to subscribe to cable TV. It’s not going to be easy to follow the programs at first, but the pictures will help me understand what’s happening. My teacher thinks it’s going to improve my pronunciation, too.
I’m going to start reading more. There’s an English newspaper I can buy that some words translated. I’m going to start with that and I’ll write down new words that look useful and test myself on them.
e. I’ve got a book called “How to Improve Your Memory” and there are several good techniques in it. They’re things like using rhymes and dreaming up funny mental pictures. I think I can use in my English lessons. I’m also going to review what we learn more often.
3. Choose one of the topics given below and make a report.
Tell about persons working at our University (our teachers, professors, famous graduators)
What do you know about the English language courses in other countries?
Choose any English speaking country and tell what you know about the Higher Education there.

Text A Work and jobs
Read the following text and answer the questions:
What is the difference between “work” and “job”?
What are the ways to know about the vacancies?
What is the selection procedure?
What is the difference between “salary” and “wages”?
What extra money can you get?
Are this jobs considered to be highly skilled, skilled, semi-skilled, or unskilled?
Teacher, car worker on a production line, airline pilot, office cleaner, bus driver, office manager.
How do we call people working for a company?
8. What is “business”?
What do you do?
To find out what someone’s job is you say “What do you do?” Here, Kerstin talks about her job:
“I work for a large European car maker. I work on car design. In fact, I run the design department and I manager a team of designers: 20 people work under me. It’s very interesting. One of my main responsibilities is to make sure that new model designs are finished on time. I’m also in charge of design budgets.
I deal with a lot of different people in the company. I am responsible for co-ordination between design and production: I work with managers at our manufacturing plants”.
If you work, you have a job. Work is also the place where you do your job.
- Hi, I’m Frank. I work in a bank in New York City.
I leave for work at 7.30 every morning.
- I go to work by train and subway.
- I get to/ arrive at work at about nine.
- I’m usually at work till six.
- Luckily, I don’t get ill very much so I’m not often off work.
A full-time job is for the whole of the normal working week; a part-time job is for less time than that.
A permanent job does not finish after a fixed period; a temporary job finishes after a fixed period.
Old and new ways.
I’m an office worker in an insurance company. It’s a nine-to-five job with regular working hours. The work isn’t very interesting, but I like to be able to go home at a reasonable time.
I’m in computer programming. There’s a system of flextime in my company. We can start at any time before eleven, and finish as early as three, as long as we do enough hours each month.
I work in a car plant. I work in shifts. I may be on the day shift one week and the night shift the next week. It’s difficult changing from long shift to another.
Nice work if you can get it.
All these words are used in front of “job” and “work”:
satisfying, stimulating, fascinating, exciting: the work is interesting and gives you positive feelings
dull, boring, uninteresting, unstimulating: the work is not interesting
repetitive, routine: the work involves doing the same things again and again
tiring, tough, hard, demanding: the work is difficult and makes you tired
Note: satisfying – доставляющий удовольствие
fascinating – очень интересный и привлекательный
exciting – вызывающий интерес
dull - неинтересный
boring - скучный
repetitive – постоянно повторяющийся
tiring - утомительный
tough - трудный
demanding – требующий терпения, усилия
Recruitment
The process of finding people for particular jobs is recruitment. Someone who has been recruited is a recruit. The company employs them: they join the company. A company may recruit employees directly or use outside recruiters, recruitment agencies or employment agencies. Outside specialists called headhunters. The process is called headhunting.
Applying for a job
Fred is a van driver, but he was fed up with long trips. He looked in the situations vacant pages of his local newspaper, where a local supermarket was advertising for van drivers for a new delivery service. He applied for the job by completing an application form and sending it in.
Harry is a building engineer. He saw a job in the appointments pages of one of the national papers. He made an application, sending in his CV and a covering letter explaining why he wanted the job and why he was the right person for it.
Note: Situation, post and position are formal words often used in job advertisements and applications.
Selection procedures
Dagmar Schmidt is the head of recruitment at a German telecommunications company. She talks about the selection process, the methods that the company uses to recruit people:
“We advertise in national newspapers. We look at the backgrounds of applicants: their experience of different jobs and their educational qualifications. We don’t ask for handwritten letters of application as people usually apply by e-mail.
We invite the most interesting candidates to a group discussion. Then we have individual interviews with each candidate. We also ask the candidates to do written psychometric tests to assess their intelligence and personality.
After this, we shortlist three or four candidates. We check their references by writing to their referees: previous employers or teachers that candidates have named in their applications. If the references are OK, we ask the candidates to comeback for more interviews. Finally, we offer the job to someone.”
Education and training
Margareta: The trouble with graduates, people who’ve just left university, is that their paper qualifications are good, but they have no work experience. They just don’t know how business works.
Nils: I disagree. Education should teach people how to think, not prepare them for a particular job. One of last year’s recruits had graduated from Oxford in philosophy and she’s doing very well!
Margareta: Philosophy’s an interesting subject, but for our company, it’s more useful if you train as a scientist and qualify as a biologist or chemist – training for a specific job is better.
Skilled and unskilled
A skill is the ability to do something well, especially because you have learned how to do it and practiced it.
Jobs, and the people who do them, can be described as:
highly skilled skilled semi-skilled unskilled
(e.g. car designer) (e.g. car production manager) (e.g. taxi driver) (e.g. car cleaner)
You can say that someone is: You can also say that someone is:
+ noun computers
customer care Good with… figures
electronics people
computer software
skilled at, _________________
or skilled in… + -ing
communicating
using PCs
working with large groups
The right person
These words are often used in job advertisements. Companies look for people who are:
Self-starters, self-motivated, or self-driven: good at working on their own.
Methodical, systematic and organized: can work in a planned, orderly way.
Computer-literate: good with computers.
Numerate: good with numbers.
Motivated: very keen to do well in their job.
Talented: naturally very good at what they do.
Team players: people who work well with other people.
Note: self-starter – человек, способный работать самостоятельно, не нуждаясь ни в чьих советах
self-motivated – человек, знающий как вести себя в той или иной ситуации
self-driven – с собственным автомобилем
Wages, salary and benefits
My name’s Luigi and I’m a hotel manager in Venice. I get paid a salary every month.
I’m Ivan and I work as a waiter in Prague. I like my job even if I don’t earn very much: I get paid wages every week by the restaurant.
I’m Catherine and I’m a saleswoman based in Paris. I get a basic salary, plus commission: a percentage on everything I sell. If I sell more than a particular amount in a year, I also get extra money – a bonus, which is nice. There are some good fringe benefits with this job: I get a company car, and they make payments for my pension, money that I’ll get regularly after I stop working. All that makes a good benefits package.
Employees, management and administration
The people who work for a company, are its employees, personnel, staff, workers or workforce. But these words can mean just the people carrying out the work of a company, rather than those leading it and organizing it: the management.
A company’s most senior managers usually work in its head office or headquarters (HQ). Some managers have their own individual offices.
Note: Workforce, work-force and work force are all possible.
Losing your job
If you do something wrong you are: if you’ve done nothing wrong, you are:
- dismissed - laid off
- fired - made redundant
- sacked - offered early retirement
- terminated
Employees who are made redundant may get advice about finding another job, retraining, etc.
Note: to dismiss - сократить
to fire - уволить (выгнать)
to sack – уволить (за что-то)
to terminate – прервать контракт
to lay off – уволить
to make redundant – уволить по сокращению штатов
Business and businesses
Business is the activity of producing, buying and selling goods and services. A business, company, firm or a concern, sells goods or services. Large companies considered together are referred to as big business.
A company may be called enterprise, especially to emphasize its risk-taking nature. Businesses vary in size, from the self-employed person working a long, through the small or medium enterprise (SME) to the large multinational with activities in several countries.
Limited liability
I’m the managing director and main shareholder of a small company in Scotland called Advanced Components Ltd. “Ltd” means limited company. The other shareholders and I have limited liability: we don’t have to use our personal property, such as a house or car, to pay the company’s debts.
I’m the chief executive of a British company called Megaco PLC. “PLC” means public limited company, so anybody can buy and sell shares in Megaco on the stock market.
I’m CEO of Bigbucks Inc. “Inc” stands for Incorporated. This shows that we are a corporation.
a) Write about each person using words in brackets.
I’m Alicia. I work in a public library in the afternoon from two until six. (I \ job)

SPORTS CAMP INSTRUCTORS
Enthusiastic sports instructors wanted for our summer camp in August, teaching groups of 11-14 year olds. No experience is necessary, but a knowledge of at least one foreign language is useful.
Write with a CV to Ms Jean Robson,
Sports Camp International, PO Box 231.
Text B (part 1) The write way to find a job.
You’ve graduated from the University and your task now is to find a job. How to do it? This information will help you.
Answering advertisements is one way of finding a job. But there is a big gap between the number of vacancies filled and those advertised. So writing to employers can often be a good idea.
The object is to get the employer to see you – no more, because the best you can hope for from such an approach is an interview. Asking straight out for a job is fatal because it invites a yes or no response. As no one will offer a post to an unknown quantity the answer will always be negative.
There are a number of golden rules:
Try to research the name (spelt correctly!) of a specific person to write to.
Put yourself in the employer’s shoes. Think of what you have to offer.
Try to keep your CV brief – one page is enough; perfect prose isn’t expected – note form is acceptable.
Gear your CV to the job and organization. No two CVs should be exactly alike.
If you’ve been in work, explain your duties and how your work has evolved. Demonstrate on paper that you are a potential asset.
List your outside interests and skills. Don’t forget your language abilities. Participation in sports can show your capacity for team work.
If your covering letter is in English it should be checked by a native speaker. You should state at the beginning why you are writing and then try to keep the reader interested. You must establish that you would like an interview. Edit ruthlessly. Go over your letter as many times as necessary. Search out and get rid of all unnecessary words and sentences.
Note: gear – сделать что-либо для конкретного случая
asset – именно тот, кто нужен
Text B (part 2) How to write a CV
When applying for a job you’ll be in competition with a number of other candidates. So your CV is important – interviewers will decide whether or not to see you on the strength of what you have written. Don’t just think of it as a list of facts; it should sum up your personal, educational and career history, as well as being an indication of your strengths and weaknesses. Here are a few suggestions:
Presentation
Always type your CV. Use a good typewriter or word processor.
If a CV is hand-written, it goes into the wastepaper basket.
Use good quality paper. Don’t give the impression this is just another photocopy.
Never send a CV without a covering letter explaining which vacancy you’re applying for. If you’re writing “on spec.”, send a short letter explaining what kind of post you’re looking for.
Don’t fax a CV unless you’re asked to. It’s a confidential document.
Content
Write a list of important headings. These should include your name, date of birth, your address (and your e-mail address, if you have one), phone number (at work and at home), your work record and so on.
Start with your most recent job and work backwards.
Don’t leave out any vital information. If you spent a year or two traveling, say so. Years that are unaccounted for will seem suspicious.
Don’t include any negative information, such as exam failures or lost jobs. Be positive about yourself, but don’t lie or you will undermine yourself from the start.
Don’t ask for your CV to be returned; many companies keep CVs on file for future reference.
Note: “on spec”. – на авось
work backwards – прежние места работы
Curriculum Vitae (жизнеописание)
Name – имя
Surname – фамилия
Date of birth – дата рождения
Place of birth – место рождения
Tel. No – номер телефона
Address – адрес
Marital status – семейное положение

I have no experience as a tour guide but have worked in various restaurants in Hamburg, and I am good at working with people. I am also a member of a university tennis team, and have been working as a tennis coach with children aged 12-14 for the last three years,
Please note that my university course finishes on 10-th June, so I will be available from then. If you want to phone me, you can contact me at home after six o’clock. Unfortunately I don’t have a fax number or e-mail address.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Interview 1
Applicant: Yeah, the traffic was terrible, and the weather, it took me ages to get here, and then I couldn’t find the car park! I’ll just put my umbrella in the corner here, shall I? Anyway, I’m really sorry I’m late.
Interviewer: Well, I’m glad you got here in the end. Now, we should probably get going as fast as we can, because I’ve got another interview at 12.00. I think the most important question I can ask is “Why do you want to work for us?”
A: Well, I’m a bit bored where I’m working at the moment, so I’d really like a change. I mean, I’ve been there for nearly a year now. I don’t know if I’ll like it more here, but it’s a bigger company, and the salary’s a lot better than the job I’ve got. Also, I like the idea of flextime, because I find it really hard to get up in the morning!
I: And what would you say your main strengths and weaknesses are?
A: Strengths? A sense of humor. And weaknesses? Well, everybody says I’m really disorganized, but I don’t think I am. I’m sometimes a bit late, you know, for meetings and deadlines, but I usually survive! I think I’m reliable – I always do what I say I’m going to do, eventually.
I: Why do you think you’d be good at this job?
A: Oh … hmm? That’s a difficult question. Well, I’ve got the right qualifications, I’m interested, and I like a challenge. I’m quite independent, too.
I: And where do you want to be in five year’s time?
A: Australia, I hope! I mean I’m planning to stay in Britain for a year or two, but to be honest I really want to move somewhere hot and sunny. And after a couple of years I’ll probably feel like another change.
I: OK. And what about your free time? What sort of thing do you do?
A: Um, well, I like to keep my weekends completely free – I hate having, having to work at the weekend, because I go walking. I try to get up to Scotland whenever I can. And I play a lot of sport, tennis, squash, things like that, you know…
Interview 2
Applicant: A bit of cinema, a bit of reading, you know… I don’t really have very much free time, really. In my current job I quite often have to work on Saturdays and Sundays, or late at night when the computers can be turned off – we sometimes can’t do much during the day because everyone’s using their machines.
Interviewer: OK, great. Perhaps we can turn to this job now. First of all, why do you want to work for us?
A: I think because yours is the biggest company in the field. I’m really interested in modern communications, and the biggest company should offer the biggest opportunities.
I: And what are your strengths and weaknesses?
A: Weaknesses? I haven’t got any! And strengths? Ambition. I really want to do well, and I’m flexible and reliable.
I: Why do you think you’d be good at this job?
A: Oh, um, why would I be good? I don’t know really… I just think I’d be good at it, I mean, I know a lot about systems support, and this seems to be the perfect job for me.
I: Where do you want to be in five year’s time?
A: I want to progress within the organization – I’d like more responsibility, and more money too, if possible!
I: Speaking of money, could I ask you a few details about your current salary and extras?
A: Yes, sure. Well, I’m earning 19.000 at the moment, but then I get some over time on top of that, so I suppose altogether it comes to more like twenty-two. And I’m a member of the company pension scheme which is good for the future…

So we saved our money up for months and months, and booked this holiday in a place called San Antonio. It cost over a thousand pounds each, but we wanted to do something really special so we booked it for two weeks in May, because all the brochures said that the weather's beautiful there in May ... m: We were flying from Gatwick airport, and the flight was overnight ... leaving Gatwick late at night, and arriving in San Antonio the next morning, or that was the idea, anyway! But when we arrived at the airport they told us that because of bad weather in the Caribbean, the flight was delayed until the next morning. So we had to spend the night at the airport, sleeping on the floor, and we finally got on the plane the next morning twelve hours late! r: But that was just the beginning. On the plane they told us that the bad weather over the Caribbean was actually a hurricane -Hurricane George - and that we couldn't fly to San Antonio. We had to go to the capital city instead, and stay in a hotel there for the night, until the hurricane passed. Anyway, we weren't too worried, we thought - well it's only one night... and they told us that we were going to a five-star hotel, next to the beach, with a swimming pool, so we were quite happy at that point... Part 2 м: Anyway, we arrived at the hotel, the Hotel Paradiso it was called, what a joke! They said it was a five-star hotel, but I wouldn't give it one star! It was just awful.. I don't know how to describe it... it was an awful building, yes, it was next to the sea, but it wasn't a beach! Just a few rocks, and the sea was so dirty you couldn't swim in it. There were big ships travelling past, and the sea was all polluted and brown, it looked horrible. r: So we went to look at the swimming pool, but that was no better. It wasn't a nice blue colour, like you'd expect. It was a sort of greeny-black colour and as we looked at it we could see things moving about in it, and we looked more closely and we realised it was full of frogs. There were hundreds and hundreds of frogs in it. So after that obviously we didn't use it. m: And then there was the food. Do you remember the food? r: I'll never forget it! The first morning, we went downstairs for breakfast, expecting to have you know, the usual things you get in hotels, bread, marmalade, fruit, coffee, and we were very surprised instead to see lots of different types of vegetables, carrots, peas, cabbage and a big bowl of lettuce! But anyway, I was really, really hungry so I decided to have some of the lettuce until I saw that it was moving! The leaves of lettuce were slowly moving around the bowl, and I looked a bit more closely and saw that the lettuce bowl was full of ants, hundreds of them, and there were so many that they were actually moving the lettuce leaves! After that, we didn't eat in the hotel again. We didn't want to. m: The worst part though, was when the hurricane arrived. That was really frightening. It was a fifteen-storey hotel so you felt really terrified with all that wind, and rain, and the windows banging, and the trees crashing outside.. It was terrible. r: And then they told us that because of the hurricane, there were no flights to San Antonio, and that we had to stay there for another three days, three more days in that place! There was nothing to do! Nowhere to go! We couldn't eat the food! It was noisy and dirty. We just couldn't believe that it could happen. m: So when we finally arrived in San Antonio, we were five days late. And the worst thing was that Hurricane George had never arrived there. The weather had been perfect in San Antonio all the time! 3-6 A Is there a problem? В Yes. I'm sorry, but your US entry visa has expired. A Can I get one in New York? В No. You have to apply from outside the USA. A So I can't get on this flight? В I'm afraid not. If we take you to New York, the immigration authorities won't let you in. A I got in from Toronto late and I've missed my connection to Newcastle. В If there's space, you can have a seat on the next flight. A Good, but I mustn't be in the smoking section. I'm allergic to smoke. В That's all right. A What about my luggage? В You don't have to do anything about that. We'll transfer it to the plane for you. A Thanks. A I’m afraid it’s overbooked. В But I booked last week. A I'm very sorry. В Look. I must be in Paris by ten. If there's a seat in economy, give me that. A I'm afraid the whole plane's full. The next flight doesn't arrive till 935. Is that too late? В No, it's all right. A I'll see if there's a seat. В What happens if there isn't? A Don't worry. We'll get you a seat with another airline if we have to. 3-7 Emma Chris! How was the holiday? Chris Don't ask. Emma Why? What happened? Wasn't it 'the holiday of a lifetime'? Chris It was absolutely fantastic. We went everywhere - Disneyworld, the Epcot centre, the Kennedy Space Centre. The kids had a great time, Amanda had a great time, and for once so did I ... until the last day, anyway. Emma Why, what happened? Chris We got robbed! Would you believe we were robbed by highway robbers. Highway robbers in the 21st century! And they were very polite - it was like a game to them. Emma Highway robbers? Chris Yes, it was really bad luck. We'd been really careful during the holiday, and we never really felt at all uncomfortable. Everywhere we went people were very polite, and friendly, and helpful. We just relaxed and enjoyed the holiday. Emma And? Chris Well, it all happened on the way home. We were driving to the airport - I'd finally got used to driving on the wrong side of the road- when suddenly a big old car bumped into the back of us. It happened so fast - the kids were thrown back into their seats and Amanda screamed. I didn't really know what was happening. Anyway, before I had time to do anything, he bumped me again. I was pretty angry, I can tell you. I stopped the car and so did he. I wasn't really thinking, I just got out of the car and started calling him an idiot. That's when I saw four big guys getting out, and one of them had a baseball bat. Emma Ouch! Chris Exactly. I thought 'it looks like I'll be needing the medical insurance after all', but no. The guy with the bat just said 'Now stay cool and you won't get hurt. We'll just empty the trunk and be on our way' It took me a second to realize he meant the 'boot' and that he was going to rob us. Emma You're joking. Chris I wish I was. Anyway, they told Amanda and the kids to stay in the car, not that they were going to get out, and told me to open the boot. They took everything out of it - the luggage, of course, our coats, even the spare tyre. They didn't take our souvenirs and things-they were in the back with the kids. And then they put everything into their car and drove off. Emma So Amanda and the kids were OK? Chris Oh yes. We were all fine - a bit shaken up but fine. It didn't take long for the police to arrive. They looked after us, got us to the airport on time and so on, but it was a terrible way to end the holiday.
