УЧЕБНОЕ ПОСОБИЕ

ПО АНГЛИЙСКОМУ ЯЗЫКУ

для студентов заочной формы обучения

Москва 2010

Пояснительная записка.

Данное пособие предназначено для студентов заочной формы обучения. Дисциплина «Английский язык» входит в учебный план заочного обучения на 1 и 2 курсе. Владение иностранным языком является обязательным компонентом профессиональной подготовки современного специалиста любого профиля. За два года обучения студенты должны овладеть лексико-грамматическим минимумом по профессионально-ориентированному английскому языку в соответствии с Государственным нормативом. По завершении срока обучения студент должен понимать английскую речь при чтении, аудировании, а также высказываться устно и письменно с соблюдением языковой нормы в пределах тематики программы, изложенной в учебно-тематических планах кафедры.

Пособие включает материал, подлежащий усвоению в течение 3-х семестров (40 аудиторных часов и 300 часов самостоятельной работы). Учебное пособие состоит из 14 лексико-грамматических разделов (Unit). Все разделы структурированы по единой схеме и состоят из краткого грамматического справочника на русском языке по определенной грамматической теме; ряда упражнений для закрепления данной грамматической темы; аутентичных текстов по общеэкономической специальности для ознакомительного и/или изучающего чтения, сопровождаемые англо-русским словарем специальных и общих терминов, а также послетекстовых лексических упражнений, которые направлены на контроль понимания содержания текстов, активизации и формирование иноязычной коммуникативной компетентности студентов. Кроме того, в пособии представлен блок упражнений по грамматике для самостоятельной работы студентов. Для промежуточного контроля усвоения курса в настоящем пособии даны три контрольные работы ( по одной в каждом семестре).

Поскольку для студентов заочной формы обучения рабочим планом по дисциплине «Английский язык» предусмотрено лишь 40 час. аудиторных занятий за первые три семестра обучения, то большую роль в получении программных навыков владения иностранным языком играет самодисциплина и упорный, систематический труд.

SECTION A GRAMMAR REFERENCE

The Present Simple Tense (Простое настоящее время)

В английском языке глагол имеет четыре основные формы:

инфинитив - The Infinitive является основной формой глагола. Отличительной чертой инфинитив является употребление глагола с частицей to, например: to study, to read;
форма простого прошедшего времени - The Simple Past Tense;
причастие прошедшего времени (причастие II) - Past Participle или Participle II;
причастие настоящего времени (причастие I) - Present Participle или Participle I.

Утвердительная форма глагола в Present Simple для всех лиц, кроме 3-го лица единственного числа, совпадает с формой инфинитива без частицы to.

I, WE, YOU, THEY	work.
HE, SHE, IT	works.

В 3-ем лице единственного числа глагол принимает окончание -s (-es), которое читается:

[z] – после звонких согласных и гласных: read – reads, stay – stays;

[s] – после глухих согласных: meet – meets;

[iz] – после шипящих и свистящих согласных: dress – dresses.

Особенности правописания окончания -s

1. Если глагол оканчивается на – o, то в 3-ем лице единственного числа к нему прибавляется окончание – es, которое читается как [z]: to go – he goes, to do – he does.

2. Если глагол оканчивается на -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, то в 3-ем лице единственного числа к нему прибавляется окончание –es, которое читается как [iz]: to finish – he finishes, to catch – he catches, to relax – he relaxes.

3. Если глагол оканчивается на – y с предшествующей согласной, в 3-ем лице единственного числа –y меняется на -i и прибавляется окончание –es,: to study – he studies.

Если же букве – y предшествует гласная, то буква y – не меняется: to play – he plays.

Вопросительная и отрицательная формы образуются при помощи вспомогательного глагола to do в соответствующей форме (do, does) и инфинитива смыслового глагола без частицы to. Вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим. В разговорной речи обычно употребляются сокращенные формы.

Вопросительная форма Краткие ответы

YOU THEY

work?

- Yes, they do.

- No, they don’t.

Does

SHE

work?

- Yes, he does.

- No, he doesn’t.

Отрицательная форма

I, WE, YOU, THEY	do not (don’t)	work.
HE, SHE, IT	does not (doesn’t)	work.

Present Simple употребляется для выражения обычного или регулярно совершаемого действия в настоящем времени, констатации факта, универсальных истин.

My friends live in Briton. Мои друзья живут в Брайтоне.

It often rains in autumn. Осенью часто идут дожди.

He plays golf every Sunday. Каждое воскресенье он играет в гольф.

Magnet attracts iron. Магнит притягивает железо.

The planets go round the sun. Планеты вращаются вокруг солнца.

Present Simple употребляется с наречиями неопределенного времени: often (часто), usually (обычно), seldom (редко), sometimes (иногда), always (всегда), never (никогда), которые стоят перед смысловым глаголом, но после глагола to be, например:

They usually get up at 8 o’clock.

He is never late for his classes.

Также возможно употребление словосочетаний every day (week, year,…), in the morning (evening,…), on Sundays (Mondays,…), которые могут стоять в начале или в конце предложения, например:

He reads newspapers every day.

Every Sunday Kate visits her parents.

Спряжение глагола to have.

Утвердительная форма

I, WE, YOU, THEY	have a car.
HE, SHE, IT	has a car.

Вопросительная форма Краткие ответы

Do	I, WE, YOU, THEY	have a car?	- Yes, I do / - No, I don’t

Отрицательная форма

I, WE, YOU, THEY	do not (don’t)	have	a car?
HE, SHE, IT	does not (doesn’t)	have	a car?

Обратите внимание на употребление устойчивых сочетаний с глаголом have:

have breakfast ( lunch, dinner, a cup of tea, …)

have a bath ( a shower, a swim, a break, a rest, a party, a holiday, …)

have a conversation (a discussion with somebody, …)

have difficulty (fun, a good time, …), etc.

При употреблении данных устойчивых сочетаний в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях употребляется вспомогательный глагол do.

Do you have a shower in the morning?

He doesn’t usually have a big breakfast.

В отличие от глагола have, оборот have got образует вопросительные и отрицательные предложения без вспомогательного глагола do.

Спряжение глагола to be в Present Simple.

Утвердительная форма

СПЕЦИАЛЬНЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ.

Специальные вопросы – это вопросы к отдельным членам предложения. Специальные вопросы начинаются с вопросительных слов who? (кто?) what? (что? какой?), which? (который?), whose? (чей?), when? (когда?), where? (где?, куда?), why? (почему?), how? (как?), how many? how much? (сколько?), how long? (как долго?, сколько времени?) и др.

Порядок слов в повествовательном предложении:

подлежащее – сказуемое – дополнение – обстоятельство

Порядок слов в специальных вопросах, относящихся к второстепенным членам предложения:

вопросительное слово – вспомогательный глагол – подлежащее - смысловой глагол – второстепенные члены предложения.

Например:

When	do	they	have	lunch?
Who(m)	do	you	play	tennis with?
What books	does	your son	like	to read?
How many apples	does	she	eat	a day?
Whose songs	do	you	prefer	to sing?

В специальных вопросах с to be и have got вспомогательный глагол не употребляется. Например:

Where is your cousin now?

How many mobile phones have you got?

В вопросах к подлежащему или его определению вспомогательный глагол отсутствует, а смысловой глагол употребляется в 3-ем лице единственного числа. На вопросы, относящиеся к подлежащему, обычно дается краткий ответ.

Он состоит из подлежащего и соответствующей формы вспомогательного глагола или глаголов to be/to have.

Who	is	the manager of Brown &Co?	- Mr. Smith is. - I am.
Who	has got	a large house near London?	- Mr. Brown has. - We have.

Альтернативные вопросы

Альтернативный вопрос – это вопрос, предполагающий в ответе выбор между двумя или более предметами, действиями или качествами, выраженными однородными членами предложения, соединенными союзом or (или).

Порядок слов в альтернативном вопросе такой же, как и в общем вопросе.

Is your family big or small?	- It is small.
Are you an economist or a lawyer?	- I am a lawyer.
Does Tom speak German or French?	- He speaks French.

Они состоят из двух частей: утвердительного или отрицательного предложения и краткого вопроса. На русский язык вторая (вопросительная) часть разделительного вопроса может быть переведена выражениями «не правда ли?», «не так ли?» или усилительной частицей «ведь» в составе вопросительного предложения.

It is difficult, isn’t it? Это сложно, не так ли?

You are a manager, aren’t you? Вы менеджер, не правда ли?

The Present Continuous Tense (Настоящее продолженное время)

Present Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в соответствующей форме настоящего времени (am, are, is) и причастия настоящего времени (Present Participle/ Participle I) смыслового глагола.

Participle I образуется путем прибавления окончания -ing к основной форме глагола: work + ing = working.

Особенности написания Participle I.

1. Если глагол оканчивается на –e, то при прибавлении –ing буква e отбрасывается: take + ing = taking.

2. Если глагол оканчивается на согласную, перед которой стоит краткая ударная гласная, то конечная согласная удваивается: sit + ing = sitting.

3. Конечная гласная y при прибавлении окончания –ing сохраняется:

study + ing = studying.

UNIT 4

Section A Grammar reference

Образование прошедшего времени группы Simple.

По способу образования основных форм (Past Simple и Participle II) глаголы делятся на две группы: правильные и неправильные (regular and irregular verbs).

Правильные глаголы образуют формы Past Simple и Participle II путем прибавления окончания - ed/ -d к инфинитиву глагола.

Окончание – ed читается:

[d] – после звонких согласных (кроме d) и гласных: to open - opened, to play – played;

[t] – после глухих согласных (кроме t): to help – helped;

[id] – после звуков [t], [d]: to translate – translated, to decide – decided.

Правила правописания.

1. Если инфинитив глагола оканчивается на букву – e, то прибавляется только

–d : to live – lived.

2. Буква y после согласной меняется на i. После гласных y сохраняется:

to copy – copied, to stay – stayed.

3. После краткой ударной гласной конечная согласная удваивается как в односложных, так и в многосложных словах: to stop – stopped, to transmit - transmitted.

Неправильные глаголы образуют Past Simple и Participle II не по общему правилу (см. таблицу неправильных глаголов).

Вопросительная и отрицательная формы прошедшего времени как правильных, так и неправильных глаголов для всех лиц образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to do в прошедшем времени (did) и формы инфинитива смыслового глагола (без частицы to). Вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим.

She sent the letter yesterday.	Она отправила письмо вчера.
Did she send the letter yesterday?	- Yes, she did. - No, she didn’t.
She did not (didn’t) send the letter yesterday.
They worked last Saturday.	Они работали в прошлую субботу.
Did they work last Saturday?	- Yes, they did. - No, they didn’t.
They did not (didn’t) work last Saturday.

Past Simple употребляется для выражения действия, совершившегося или совершавшегося в прошлом. Это время употребляется в повествовании, при изложении событий, имевших место в прошлом, а также в разговоре о прошедших событиях.

Past Simple употребляется со следующими обстоятельствами времени:

yesterday	вчера
the day before yesterday	позавчера
yesterday morning (afternoon, evening)	вчера утром (днем, вечером)
at 6 o’clock	в 6 часов
an hour ago	час тому назад
a week (month, year, …) ago	неделю (месяц, год, …) тому назад
last week (month, year, Tuesday, …)	на прошлой неделе (в прошлом месяце, году, в прошлый вторник, ...)

Present Perfect употребляется для выражения действия, которое совершилось в прошлом (время действия не указывается), но результат которого очевиден или имеет значение в настоящем.
Если время действия указано, тогда употребляется Simple Past:

He signed the contract yesterday (last week, 2 hours ago, etc.).

Present Perfect употребляется со следующими наречиями:

У меня было много работы на этой неделе.

с глаголами to be, to live, to know, to see, to hear для выражения действия, которое началось в прошлом и продолжается до настоящего времени. При этом, предлог for обозначает период времени, а предлог since – начальный момент данного действия.
