Do what you can> with what you have, where you are. Theodore Roosevelt
Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.
Read the epigraphs to the unit. Try to predict what the unit is going to be about. Do you understand these quotes and sayings? Which of them do you agree/disagree with?
1 Do you remember Lisa Korolyova and her friend David Hunt? They spent a great summer in Camp Pineland. It's autumn — Lisa is back in Russia and David is back in England. David sent Lisa a song that he wrote himself. Listen to the song and say what David feels. What do the words "autumn" and "autumn leaves" mean in this song?
Leaves of autumn I’ve never known what love could be.
Your picture’s smiling back at me.
You’ve changed my world, but had to go away,
And now my heart lives in the yesterday.
And I am surrounded with the leaves of autumn.
Refrain
The whole world is covered by autumn leaves.
They drift by the window, they fall from above.
They’ll cross all the continents and the seas And whisper about my love.
Uni' 1 Lessons 1 2
This autumn took my love away,
It seems we parted just today.
But days and weeks are going slowly by,
I start forgetting how you smile and cry,
I shout your name into the rain of autumn.
The world has turned the shade of grey.
It is the price I have to pay.
For all the happiness you brought to me. For learning how to be unlonely,
My heart is burning with the fires of autumn.
The whole world’s taking us apart. Friends say I shouldn’t even start.
But I know there will be tomorrow,
We’ll share our secrets, dreams and sorrows, I write my letters on the leaves of autumn.

The gerund (Герундий)
Герундий — неличная форма глагола, сочетающая в себе свойства глагола и существительного и выражающая процесс.
В русском языке нет формы глагола, соответствующей герундию, но он в некоторой сгепени напоминает отглагольное существительное (хождение, ожидание, чтение) и может переводиться на русский язык существительным, инфинитивом, деепричастием, глаголом в личной форме, а также придаточным предложением в зависимости от его функции в предложении.
Функции герундия в предложении
В предложении герундий может употребляться в функции подлежащего, именной части сказуемого, косвенного дополнения, обстоятельства, составного глагольного сказуемого, определения.
Функции герундия во многом сходны с функциями инфинитива, поэтому во многих случаях наряду с герундием может быть употреблен инфинитив.
• Герундий в функции подлежащего
Skiing is good for her.— Кататься (катание) на лыжах полезно для нее.
8
Unil 1 Lessons 1. 2
• Герундий в функции именной части сказуемого
His favourite pastime is playing the guitar. = His favourite pastime is to play the guitar.— Его любимое времяпровождение — игра (играть) на гитаре. Герундий образуется путем прибавления окончания -ing к инфинитиву глагола без частицы to.
Если глагол оканчивается на букву -е, то при прибавлении окончания -ing она отбрасывается:
to smoke — курить, smoking — курение.
При прибавлении -ing конечная согласная удваивается, если ей предшествует ударная гласная, стоящая в закрытом слоге: to swim — плавать, swimming — плавание.
Если буква 1 является конечной, то при прибавлении -ing она удваивается:
to travel — путешествовать, travelling — путешествие При прибавлении -ing буквосочетание ie меняется на у: to he — лгать, lying — ложь.

1. Working with this actor is always a pleasure for film directors.

Charlie Rose
Last year when I was fourteen, I started my GCSE course. GCSE is short for General Certificate of Secondary Education. The course runs for two years. All of us study English, Maths, Science, Information Technology and Religious Education. We also have optional subjects to choose from like Languages, Business Studies, Design and Technology, Music, Geography, History and many more. At the end of this two-year course when I’m sixteen, my teachers will give me grades in some of the subjects based on the standard of my coursework over the year. In the other subjects I have to take GCSE exams to get my grades. We can take a minimum of five exams in optional and compulsory subjects, but most of us are going to sit about seven to nine GCSEs. It seems a lot, but one can do even more. I heard that in public schools they take up to twelve GCSEs. Just imagine doing that! However, there’s a good reason for this. These exams are extremely important for one’s education and career. If you decide to leave school after doing your GCSEs, your employers will always want to see your results before giving you a job.
GCSEs are graded from A (excellent), the highest, to E (satisfactory), the lowest. If someone fails GCSEs, it’s not the end of the world: one can resit GCSEs later, but it’s not an option for me. At sixteen, after finishing their GCSEs, some of my classmates, who are not academically minded, will leave school iwii and start looking for jobs. I don’t think it’s a great choice. Nowadays you can’t succeed in life without having a good education. I’m planning to go on to the sixth form. This is a traditional name for the last two years of school, which are optional. During these two years students do their Advanced Level course and get ready for their Advanced Level exams, which are usually called A-levels. These exams are taken at the end of the school year and the

results don’t come through until August. They are absolutely necessary for those who want to get into university. A-level students choose their subjects according to what they’re planning to study at university. Most universities will accept applicants with two or three A-levels, but for some top ones students may need to have more. And they may need to get straight As to win a place. To be honest, I haven’t chosen a university yet. I haven’t even chosen what I want to do. I think I still have a bit of time for that. Anyway, after doing my A-levels, I’m going to take a gap year before university. During that year I will have a chance to see the world, try some different jobs and decide what I want to be.

Belle Lawrence
I’m in the third year of high school.
It’s not the last year, because there is one more, but I still have to study day and night instead of going partying. I even had to give up watching TV and reading for pleasure in the evening. Everything we do in high school is important, as all our grades get into our official records. Sometimes future employers and universities want to see more than just final exam results: they also want to see how students have worked and improved over the years. Although our
end-of-school exams are only next year, all of us are feeling the pressure. We keep working all the time. We’ll finish our secondary education at the age of eighteen. Some of us will say “goodbye” to studying forever, but a lot of my schoolmates want to go on studying at colleges and universities.
This year I’m going to take an SAT reasoning test. It’s a standard test required by most American colleges. The SAT shows not only what you have learned at school, but also how well you can use your knowledge to analyse and solve problems. It consists of three major sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. The SAT results are believed to predict whether a student will do well at college. The test is carried out by Educational Testing Service nearly every month and costs $45. Although you can sit the SAT as many times as you want, normally it’s taken once or twice. 1 keep putting it off, but in March I’ll have to go for my first try. I hope Г11 do well and won’t have to resit it.
I’ve decided to apply to UCLA, the University of California Los Angeles, so I’ll need a high score in my test. UCLA is one of the most popular universities in the States. I know that in the last few years they have received more applications than any other university and have admitted only about ten per cent of those who applied. Students are attracted to UCLA by both its excellent educational and social-life opportunities.

UNIVERSITY OF
CAMBRIDGE
David Hunt
It all started with my French teacher, Mr Morel. In September Mr Morel invited my parents to come and see him and told them that I was predicted to get top grades at my A-levels this year and that he would strongly advise me to apply to Cambridge. My parents were extremely pleased. That evening we had a family discussion. I objected to the idea of applying to Cambridge and insisted on going to our local university, but my parents wanted me to try for Cambridge.
22 Unir 1 Lessons 6. 7 8
Anyway, in the end I told myself that I had nothing to lose and must give it a try. The deadline for Cambridge applications was 15 October, which is much earlier than for most other universities. So nothing could prevent me from applying to another university if I failed to get into Cambridge. Shortly before the deadline for submitting applications to Cambridge, I went on to the UCAS website and applied. Oh, for those who don’t know, UCAS stands for Universities & Colleges Admissions Service. This organisation helps you when you apply to any UK university or college: they accept your application, give you advice and information and keep you up to date with all the latest news.
I chose Modern and Medieval Languages as my course, and Trinity as my college. The teachers from my school were happy to support my application and gave me excellent references.
Shortly after completing my online application,
I was asked to send in some of my old school essays to give my future tutors some examples of my academic work. And soon after that I got an invitation to go up to Cambridge for some interviews. 1 was really surprised to be invited, because only applicants with realistic chances were interviewed.
Unit Lessor s 6.7 8 23
The interview experience itself was very interesting.
I had three twenty-minute interviews with different teachers from my department. Just the thought that each of them was a leading expert in his or her subject made me nervous, but the moment my first interview started, I knew I would be OK. The interviewers didn’t try to ask me tricky questions, very often there was no right or wrong answer to their questions at all. They were more interested in how I got to my answer, in my method of thinking and dealing with problems. They encouraged me to argue, disagree and just be myself. After my first interview, I wanted to get into Cambridge more than anything else in my life.
I stayed in Cambridge overnight for more interviews and made my first Cambridge friend, Rick. He was a black guy with a strong cockney accent. We happened to share a room and Rick told me his story, “I will always thank Cambridge tutors for showing me that I can change my life. None of my family had ever had any education and most of the kids from my school started to work after doing GCSEs to help their families with money. Three years ago a Cambridge professor came to our school and talked to us about higher education and its advantages. He told us about the possibility of visiting Cambridge and spending a couple of days with other students here. He also mentioned that it was possible to get financial help from the University. I got interested and applied for the following year’s Shadowing Scheme. For three days I became a ‘shadow’ of a student studying Maths, the subject that I was interested in. We did everything together: had breakfast, attended

rit 1 Lessons 6, 7 8
lectures, even went to the music club. I was so impressed that I decided to break the family tradition and do A-levels. Getting through A-levels is a huge effort as I’ve got nobody to help. My results may still not be good enough for Cambridge, but I don’t lose hope. There is the Cambridge Special Access Scheme for students like me. This is a special scheme for the applicants who had no chance of getting a good education at school for health, financial, or family reasons. All the examiners are told about applicants with these kinds of problems, and if a student succeeds in impressing them, they may offer him or her a place, even if he or she doesn’t get the highest grades.” That night we didn’t have much time to talk, because Rick was going to sit a Maths exam next morning. I thought I was lucky that there were no exams for my department. In the morning Rick and I wished each other the best of luck and promised to keep in touch. Soon afterwards I heard that I had been offered a conditional place at Cambridge. “Conditional” means that Г11 get a place if I get A grades in all my A-level exams. If I get lower grades, I won’t be accepted. So I just have to work really hard this year. And just yesterday I heard from Rick: he did so well in his exam that he got a place too! I am so much looking forward to seeing him in Cambridge.

STATE UNIVERSITY
1755
Lisa Korolyova
Dear friends,
When I read about Cambridge, I was greatly impressed by its admissions policies, its history, its traditions and its Special Access schemes for bright children who had difficulties in getting a good education. I haven’t applied to any university yet, so I can’t speak from my own experience. But I know that the Russian university education system is also considered to be one of the best in the world. One of my cousins, Anton, is a Psychology student at Moscow State University. I wrote to him recently with some questions about MSU. Here are his answers:
32 Unit 1 Lessons 9. 10, 11
1. “I’m proud of being a student at the oldest and best university in this country. All my friends told me it was no use applying to MSU as the competition is known to be very high. However, I have always dreamt of studying at Moscow State University, so it was my first and only choice. I prepared my application documents and sent them by mail. As I had no other choices to make, I applied a long time before the deadline of 25 July.”
2. “I checked what NSEs were required by my faculty and worked hard to get ready for them. Although NSE scores are an important part of one’s application, the university holds its own exams too. I had to take three and I couldn’t help feeling nervous about them, as you can imagine! In the end I passed them successfully and got a place.”
3. “I started my undergraduate course this September. It runs for four years and when I finish it, I’ll get the degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA). After graduating, I’ll probably go on studying and join a postgraduate course to get the degree of Master of Arts (MA).”
4. “Not long ago, the university celebrated its 250th anniversary. In 1755, on 25 January, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna signed the decree that a university should be founded in Moscow. Later this university was named after Mikhail Lomonosov, as he played the leading part in establishing it. From the start Moscow University developed its own democratic traditions: the lectures were held both in Latin and in Russian; they were open to the general public too. Tuition was free and every commoner had the right to get in.”
Unit 1 Lessons 9 10, Ч 33
5. “It was Lomonosov’s principle that only the academic achievements of a student should matter, not his financial position or his family background. This principle is still followed by the university today. Although every year there is a very high competition for each place, the university offers special conditions of entry to disabled applicants and children from disadvantaged families. It also has special entrance schemes for those talented applicants who have won some of the federal or university competitions.”
6. “The university has grown over the years. Its original three faculties, the Faculty of Philosophy the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Medicine have turned into 29 faculties with over 350 departments, a huge campus, 15 research institutes, four museums, the Science Park, the Botanical Gardens and the Library.”
34 Unit 1 Lessons 9, 10, 11
7. “Life in MSU is full of challenge and fun. The university offers great opportunities for personal growth and development. It has a lot of interesting clubs and societies where one can find a new hobby and make new friends. I think most of these clubs are really worth joining as one can learn something useful there. I surprised all my friends by joining the famous University Student Theatre. It’s the most popular student theatre in Russia and has an amazing history. It was founded in 1756, just a year after the university was opened. Not everybody knows that the students who played there later became the first actors of the Maliy and Bolshoi theatres.
6 Answer the questions.
1. What is the oldest university in Russia called?
2. Who is Moscow State University named after?
3. What faculty did Anton choose?
4. Why did Anton’s friends tell him it was no use applying to MSU?
5. Did Anton have to take any entrance exams?
6. What was the deadline for applying to MSU?
7. What course did Anton start?
8. What degree is he hoping to get at the end of this course?
9. Who founded MSU?
10. What were its three original faculties?
11. What democratic traditions did the university develop from the very beginning?
12. What university club did Anton decide to join?
13. What is this club famous for?
7 Look through the e-mail in Ex. 5 and find as many facts as you can to support or contradict the following statements.
1. University gives everybody a chance to broaden ones horizons.
2. The founders of the university paid little attention to their applicants’ background.
3. The university has always played an important part in the cultural life of Russia.
4. Nowadays the university is very difficult to get into.

For your information
In medieval Europe there were only two degrees: Master (a scholar of arts and grammar) and Doctor (a scholar of philosophy, theology, medicine, or law). Nowadays the lowest academic degree is the Bachelor of Arts (BA), or the Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree, which is usually awarded after a four-year course of college or university study. So someone who is studying for a Bachelor’s degree is called an undergraduate student (undergrad).
Next comes the Master of Arts (MA), or the Master of Science (MSc) degree, which one can get after a year or two of postgraduate study. Students who have got their first degree and are carrying on with their studies are called postgraduate students (postgrads). Postgraduates can also study for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. It is the highest university degree that can be earned after several years of postgraduate study and research. However, one can come across other common professional degrees: the Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD).

The University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge are the two oldest universities in Britain, and popular tourist destinations. However, nobody will be able to show a tourist the building of Oxford or Cambridge University. Both universities are just a name for two large groups of colleges situated in the cities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Oxford is about forty years older than Cambridge. There is no exact foundation date, but the university is believed to have been founded around 1167. King Henry II, got fed up with English students going to Paris to be educated, and so the first English university was created. Cambridge was founded around 1209 by Oxford scholars after a bitter disagreement with local townsmen.
48 Unit 1 Lessons 14, 15
Oxford is uniquely beautiful. Its ancient buildings of honey-coloured stone are world-famous. Among these are Christ Church, which has been a site of religious worship since the seventh century, Tom Tower, built by Sir Christopher Wren, the Bridge of Sighs which makes everybody who sees it sigh, and many others. The heart of the university is perhaps the great Tudor dining hall at Christ Church College, where Charles I held sessions of parliament during the English Civil war, Elizabeth I watched a play, and Lewis Carroll thought over his ideas for Alice in Wonderland. This hall is the setting for some of the scenes in the Harry Potter films.
Oxford and Cambridge, informally called Oxbridge, are considered to be equally good. They both take pride in a large number of the world’s most prominent scientists, writers, politicians and British prime ministers, who used to study there. However, there has always been a kind of friendly competition between the two universities, who usually refer to each other as “the other place”. The ultimate outcome of this competition is the Oxford and Cambridge boat race.
The idea came to two friends, who happened to be students at Oxford and Cambridge respectively. On 12 March 1829 Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford, and the tradition was born, and has continued to the present day. This legendary boat race is considered the world’s oldest sporting challenge, where every year the loser of the previous year’s race challenges the opposition to a re-match.
4 Mark these statements true, false or not stated if there's no information.
1. Oxford is not the oldest European university.
2. A lot of British prime ministers graduated from Cambridge.
3. Elizabeth I used to visit Cambridge.
4. All Cambridge teachers get educated in Cambridge.
5. Lewis Carroll used to live in Oxford.
6. Some Harry Potter scenes were filmed in the great Tudor dining hall
7. If Cambridge loses the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, it means that next year it will receive a challenge from Oxford.

The Participle (Причастие)
Причастие в английском языке представляет собой неличную форму глагола, сочетающую свойства глагола, прилагательного и наречия. В русском языке оно соответствует причастию и деепричастию.
Participle I (The Present Participle)
(Причастие настоящего времени)
Причастие I образуется с помощью прибавления окончания -ing к инфинитиву глагола без частицы to.
Если глагол оканчивается на -е, то при прибавлении окончания -ing буква е отбрасывается;
take — taking, give — giving.
При прибавлении окончания -ing конечная согласная удваивается, если ей предшествует ударная гласная, стоящая в закрытом слоге: cut — cutting, begin — beginning.
Uril 2 Lessens! 2 51
Если буква 1 является конечной, то при прибавлении окончания -ing она удваивается: travel — travelling.
При прибавлении окончания -ing буквосочетание ie меняется на у: die — dying, tie — tying, lie — lying.
• Причастие I может употребляться в функции определения к существительному. В этой функции Причастие I употребляется:
a) перед определяемым словом и соответствует в русском языке действительному причастию настоящего времени, оканчивающемуся на -щий или -вший (сидящий, сидевший):
The crying girl is ту friends’ daughter. I need to talk to her.— Плачущая девочка — дочь моих друзей. Мне нужно с ней поговорить.
b) после определяемого слова:
Не looked at the man sitting in front of him.— Он посмотрел на человека, сидевшего напротив него.
• Причастие I выражает действие, одновременное с действием, выраженным глаголом-сказуемым:
Suddenly he spotted an object lying in the grass.— Внезапно он увидел предмет, лежавший в траве.
Гт looking at the children playing in the yard.— Я смотрю на детей, играющих во дворе.
• В функции обстоятельства Причастие I соответствует в русском языке деепричастиям на -а, -я, -в (крича, идя, приехав):
Reading а newspaper, she fell asleep.— Читая газету, она уснула.
She left the room laughing.— Она вышла из комнаты, смеясь.
Coming from Britain, she couldn’t drive in Italy. Приехав / Поскольку она приехала из Великобритании, она не могла водить машину в Италии.
• Причастие I также часто используется для того, чтобы избежать повторения the Past Progressive в одном предложении несколько раз: She was cleaning the room singing. (She vvas cleaning the room and singing.) — Она убирала в комнате, напевая.

Hi everybody.
My name is Natasha, and I live in Moscow. I have never been to your camp, but my friend Lisa Korolyova said you might be able to help me with some advice. The thing is, my father got a job in the UK and we are going to stay there for three years. My parents won’t let me stay at home alone, so I am going with them. I am leaving school here in Russia this year and it would be nice to go to a British college or a university. Looking at the admission rules, I found out that all British universities want applicants to have A-levels. But,

Coming from Turkey, I had the same problem. There is an easy answer. There are so-called foundation programmes which you can join. You do this programme for about nine months, and after you finish, you can apply to practically any UK university.
PrettyGirl
Be careful choosing the place where you do your programme. The university you apply to, later may not recognise it. Make up your mind about which university you want to go to first, and then ask them what foundation programmes they want.
Charlie305
Choose your university first. (IMHO) In our university we have our own foundation course called a Bridging Year. Students doing the Bridging Year are full members of the university, which is cool. Living on campus, you can use the same academic, social and sports facilities as other students.

I did the programme called CFP (College Foundation Programme) in London. It allowed me to choose between a lot of universities. Check their FAQs. It’s pricey, though. It costs you about £7,500 just in tuition fees.

What are the requirements? Do people applying for this programme need to pass any English tests?
Dancerboy
There are no special requirements. Just good grades from your Russian school. In some places you’ll be expected to have achieved at least 5.5 in lELTS or 450 in TOEFL or to have successfully passed some other equivalent exam. However, there are places where English will be a part of your programme.
SunnyJenny
Dancerboy has no idea! You can take an intensive course in English, but that will be a separate programme. You will have to take Maths, Physics, History, Law, Psychology, etc all in English, so your English has to be good.
Natashal07
Will I have to study Maths again?!
I don’t think I’m good enough. And History... I’m not very good at British history. I don’t know what to do.
TonyB
Don’t panic! You can choose your major subjects. Unless it’s Sciences, it is possible to study them without any background knowledge.

TonyB is right. Nobody on my course had a problem and we had students from all over the world.

Blog
www.blog.info
A blog is short for weblog (the same as website). Often it’s a type of online diary or commentary posted by a blogger, a person who writes a blog. Used as a verb, “to blog” means to add content to a blog. Bloggers write about their experiences, post pictures, videos or music which impressed them and which they want to share with others. One of the main characteristics of a blog is that it’s public, and readers are supposed to leave comments, start a discussion or offer help. Bloggers share their private life with others, but they can remain anonymous. Instead of real names and images, bloggers often use nicks and avatars, which become their identities in cyberspace.
Bloggers form social networks and communities called the blogosphere. Unlimited by distance, money, race and social status, bloggers can get in touch with anybody in the world. A New York taxi driver may become Brad Pitt’s favourite blogger, a life of a housewife can get more attention than the latest celebrity marriage. Some blogs, read by thousands of people, get really famous and even get published as books. Bloggers become influential writers and political commentators — their opinions matter. This way of communicating is getting more and more popular. Even the President of this country finds the time to write his own blog and share his thoughts with fellow bloggers.

A month has passed since I came to the University. The campus is my home now. I get up and go to the lectures which are always interesting and informative. The lecturers give us handouts with everything they say during the lecture, so we do not have to waste our time on writing. Instead we can participate and have endless discussions. We already know the topics for our assignments, but nobody has started writing them yet. The teachers do not ask about them either. They are always happy to help, but only if we ask them to. We still have a month before the first deadline, so we are all enjoying ourselves and our local pub called “The Top Bar” is full every evening.

University of Essex
i0iiai(WVr
уттишиг
The Colchester Campus at the University of Essex is located two miles away from Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town and its former Roman capital. There are several bus services which run from the campus to the town centre which take about 10-15 minutes.
You are guaranteed accommodation on the campus in your first year. In your second and third years, you will be expected to find privately rented accommodation.
AH our accommodation is modern and purpose-built, and the majority of it is situated on our Colchester Campus. All our accommodation consists of bedrooms, grouped in self-contained flats of varying sizes, with communal kitchen-dining facilities. All accommodation is networked so you can use your computer to access the internet and University network from your room free of charge.
70 Unii 2 Lessens 5 6
Charges for University-owned accommodation include heating, hot water, and cleaning of communal areas, and vary from £70 for standard accommodation to £ 100 for en suite accommodation per week. Rooms are normally let for the full 39-week period of the academic year from early October to the end of June. This means that, even if you are away from the University during the winter and spring vacations, you do not have to remove your belongings from your room. Accommodation is also available in the long summer vacation for students who need it.
Our students comment on how much they enjoy their time living on campus and we were recently voted “Best University Halls”. We are committed to providing an environment for living and learning, and aim to do everything we can to ensure that your time with us in your new home is an experience you will never forget.
All our accommodation is self-catered, with each flat having fully equipped kitchen-diners. There is a large supermarket within close walking distance, which makes it easy to have total independence and offers you the chance to develop your cooking skills. However, if you want a break from cooking, there are plenty of options available to you on campus. You can relax with the daily papers and a coffee in one of our many caf6s, grab a quick snack between lectures from our bakery, or have a full three-course meal in one of the four restaurants.
The Towers
Soulhll
These are the rooms with a view! Our Towers are a very popular choice. They are particularly enjoyed by students who like to meet as many fellow students as possible. The location is very central so you are only five minutes away from the centre of campus with its caf6s, bars, restaurants, shops and banks. Each flat has 13-16 rooms with a large, shared kitchen-diner area, showers and toilets. The flats are large enough to have a diverse feel with a great mixture of students — yet small enough to have a real community atmosphere. The charge for the Towers accommodation ranges from £64.75 to £68.11 per week.

South Courts
These are the largest development on campus and typically have either six or eight rooms per flat. All rooms have an en suite bathroom with modern kitchen facilities to share. They are all situated around central courtyards offering an excellent meeting point. South Courts are only a five minute walk away from central campus but offer a quieter life than living in the Towers, as you share with fewer people and have your own bathroom. The charge for South Courts accommodation is £104.93 per week.

OK! You’re on your own here. There’s no Mummy doing all the
Sunny Jenny
^ searching for you and asking all the right questions. So how on earth do you find a house? Don’t panic: everyone’s in the same boat.
You need to begin by making a list of what you want in a house. For instance, do you want a bath or will just a shower be OK? Do you want a washing machine (my advice — YES — launderettes are a nightmare and you can’t afford to have things cleaned for you). Are you OK with sharing a bathroom or do you want an en suite of your own? You also need to think about where your house is located — bus and train fares can add up to a lot of money.
When you finally find a place that sounds good and is not going to cost you a fortune, go and see it. Never believe anybody, even if the person says he or she lived there last year. Sometimes a place sounds perfect, but the minute you walk through the door, you understand you can’t live there.
And sometimes a place doesn’t sound thrilling, but you’ll probably fall in love with it the moment you see it. I’ll never forget how
84 Un ‘ 2 lessons 9. 0
а friend of mine went to view a flat which she was supposed to share with an old lady and her lovely little dog. When she went inside, she saw a huge Staffordshire terrier, so she was glad she checked before moving in.
Secondly, make sure you take with you a list of questions you want to ask. Will you have to pay the rest of the rent if the other rooms aren’t filled? How big is the deposit and will it be returned at the end of your rent? Is there a garden — are you responsible for it? Are the rooms lockable? Is the house in good condition? If the landlord promises to have things repaired, get his promises included in the contract.
There are also a few things you should look out for: what is included in the rent and how much are the extra bills? So if you’ve found a house for £40 a week, but it doesn’t cover any bills — you aren’t going to save money, especially if the other rooms are empty.
Don’t forget that the rent must be agreed before the contract. Before you sign, you can negotiate with the landlord to get better conditions and save money. Always try to get your contract checked and remember to get a copy of it!
And most of all, start looking early because, as I’ve already said, we’re all in the same boat, so there ’ll be hundreds of students looking for accommodation.

Рассмотрим два типа таких эссе:
а) с аргументацией „за" и „против"; б) выражение собственного мнения.
Структура эссе:
1. Вступление и постановка проблемы
2. Аргументы в пользу своей точки зрения (3 предложения)
3. Аргументы, доказательства в пользу противоположной точки зрения (2,3 предложения).
4. Свой аргумент, доказывающий несостоятельность противоположной точки зрения.
5. Заключение, в котором вы еще раз подчеркиваете правильность вашей точки зрения (2 предложения).
с аргументацией ,,за и „против"
При написании этого типа эссе вы
описываете проблему
как сторонний наблюдатель.
Структура эссе:
1. Вступление и постановка проблемы
2. Тезисы, аргументы „за"
3. Тезисы, аргументы „против"
4. Заключение с выводом
Эссе Выражение собственного мнения
При написании этого типа эссе вы высказываете собственное мнение по проблеме.
В обоих типах эссе вам необходимо написать 200-250 слов. Определите, сколько слов вы пишете в строчке. Так, если в вашей строчке 10 слов, то вам нужно будет написать 20-25 строчек.
Мы советуем вам писать эссе, состоящее из четырех абзацев. Начинайте каждый абзац с тезиса, который вы планируете в нем развивать.
Поскольку количество слов ограничено, выражайтесь точно и ясно, не тратьте время на долгое вступление
Используйте лексику, которая отличается от лексики в формулировке задания, подбирайте к словам синонимы.
92 Unit 2 Lessons 13,
Для того чтобы ваши аргументы звучали объективно и убедительно, используйте формальный язык, с большим количеством безличных предложений, а также ссылок на экспертов, статистику, средства массовой информации. Сравните: / am sure that one can learn a lot from computer games.— Experts state that one can learn a lot from computer games.
Обдумайте тему эссе, набросайте короткий план каждого параграфа, аргументы „за" и „против", примеры, которые вы собираетесь приводить. Постарайтесь не противоречить себе и последовательно отстаивать свою позицию.
Не отходите от темы и не пишите больше, чем нужно.
Не забудьте проверить написанное.
Суть вопроса
Очень важно понять суть вопроса. Зачастую одна и та же тема может быть сформулирована по-разному:
1. Are there any advantages in being a vegetarian?
2. Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian.
3. Would you consider becoming a vegetarian?
4. Vegetarians are healthier. Do you agree?
Bee эти вопросы предполагают одно и то же задание. Вам необходимо обсудить преимущества и недостатки вегетарианства.
Важно также избежать таких распространенных ошибок, как отход от темы, подмена одной темы другой. Так, в данном случае, упоминая тему здорового образа жизни, сосредоточьтесь на питании, не тратьте время на тему „Спорт". Если будете писать об отказе от мяса из любви к животным, не сбивайтесь на тему „Исчезающие виды животных и их охрана".
Подготовка аргументов
Прежде чем начать писать, поработайте в черновике, пользу ясь следующим планом. Он поможет вам выстроить аргумен тацию, не отклоняясь от темы.
1. Что я хочу сказать?
2. Что я имею в виду этим утверждением?
3. Что я этим доказываю?
4. Могу ли я привести отвлеченный пример?
5. Могу ли я привести конкретный пример?

2 Почитайте образец эссе и разбейте его на четыре абзаца.
Тема эссе: Friends should always be together and share everything.
To what extent do you agree?
It’s a common knowledge that sometimes friends don’t leave each other any chances for other relationships: they get jealous of each other’s social life, try to control each other and as a result they break up. I can’t but agree with the proverb “A hedge between keeps friendship green”, which means that friends don’t have to spend 100% of their time together and that they should be tactful and respect each other’s private life and personal space. On the other hand: how high should that hedge between the friends be? Won’t it transform real friends into fair weather friends, strictly minding their own business and turning up just to have fun? There is another good proverb “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. This proverb expresses my idea of friendship very well. 1 think that a real friend is someone who will never let you down. I don’t expect my friend to always agree with me: we can argue and fight, but a true friend will always be at your side when needed. To sum it up I’d like to say that everyone dreams of having a true and faithful friend, but not all of us are lucky enough to find one. And if you get that lucky, you need to work hard not to let the friendship go, giving your friends all the freedom they need, but being there for them when they are in trouble. Real affection — warmth of heart and deep understanding doesn’t require constant contact, but slowly develops over years.

Тема эссе: Some people think that using bicycles in the city centre has many advantages, while others are sure that bicycles should not be allowed in the city centres.
Today when ecology is a great issue all over the world, a lot of people think about possible ways to reduce the harmful effects of human civilisation on the earth. One of these is to cut down on using cars in cities and switch to bicycles instead, but some people oppose this idea.
96 Uo'i 2 Lessons 13 14
Ideally, I would like people to ride bicycles more often for several reasons. Firstly, it is good for both the environment and people’s health, as it eliminates exhaust fumes and promotes physical exercise. Secondly, bicycles are cheaper to produce, which means less energy consumption. Moreover, cycling helps reduce traffic jams.
The opposing view is usually that people cannot help using cars as they are much more convenient than bicycles. To begin with, a driver doesn’t dependent on weather like a cyclist. Then, a car can carry several passengers at a time. Finally, driving a car requires less physical efforts than cycling does.
All things considered, I would conclude that people should be more aware of the options they have. Bikes should be available and should be used for riding to school or to work, but people will still have to drive if they need to cover long distances.

Тема эссе: The modern teenager is considered by some to be interested only in cheap forms of entertainment. However, others say that modern teenagers are well-prepared to hold the future of our society in their hands. Examine these opinions.
In my opinion, young people nowadays are the most active part of our society. According to statistics, most school children are motivated to continue their education.
As a result, many will become forward-looking business people who, in turn, will build and improve the country’s well-being.
Furthermore, teenagers are more open minded that grown ups. In fact, this characteristic will enable them to bridge the distances between countries and establish relationships with other cultures. Thus, in future we may have a friendly multi-national and multi-cultural world, free of wars and violence.
Finally, most young people are environmentally conscious, therefore, who but the young will be able to take care of the Earth, our common home?

, The Complex Object with the Present Participle
(Оборот сложное дополнение с причастием настоящего времени)
Сложное дополнение состоит из существительного в именительном падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже, за которыми следует причастие настоящего времени.
Существительное или местоимение обозначает лицо, которое соверщает действие, выраженное причастием настоящего времени.
• Оборот сложное дополнение с причастием настоящего времени употребляется после глаголов: to see — видеть, to watch — наблюдать, to notice — замечать, to hear — слыщать, to feel — чувствовать. I watched him working on the computer.— Я наблюдал, как он работал на компьютере.
I saw а girl driving а саг.— Я видел, как девушка вела машину.

• Оборот сложное дополнение с причастием настоящего времени аналогичен обороту сложное дополнение с инфинитивом.
Однако между этими оборотами есть смысловые различия. Причастие выражает действие в процессе его совершения, а инфинитив выражает законченное действие, поэтому в большинстве случаев оборот с причастием переводится на русский язык придаточным изъяснительным предложением с глаголом несовершенного вида, а оборот с инфинитивом — придаточным изъяснительным предложением с глаголом совершенного вида.

Canterbury
Day 1 8 April
Hi friends.
I’m in England. I’ve come to visit David and his family for a week. In fact I’ll only get to meet one member of his family, his elder sister Gina, as this week his parents have gone camping in Yorkshire. Gina and David met me at the airport and brought me to their charming old house in Canterbury, ... (1). I have just arrived, and the first evening walk through the streets of Canterbury impressed me greatly. I expected it to be cold and rainy, but it is very warm, much warmer than in Moscow. Pink blossom trees are blooming everywhere. The narrow streets
104 Unit 3 Lessons! 2,3
are lined by tiny medieval houses, where people still live. David and I walked past the open windows and watched people having dinner, reading or just sitting by their fireplaces, ... (2). I felt like I had travelled back in time and found myself in the past in what people call Merry Old England. Nothing has been changed or destroyed, or modernised. The illusion was completed when I walked up to the huge cathedral. We saw people going in and followed them. We got lucky and Joined a party which was being given a very interesting guided tour. I found out that I was in the famous Canterbury Cathedral, ... (3). Its history goes back to AD 597 when St Augustine, sent by Pope Gregory the Great, established his seat in Canterbury. In 1170 Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in the Cathedral. The archbishop was so popular that soon after his death he was canonised, and ever since the Cathedral has attracted thousands of pilgrims from all over the world. Geoffrey Chaucer, ... (4), who is sometimes called the father of English Literature, immortalised these pilgrimages in his famous book The Canterbury Tales.
I returned to the house as if in a dream, and Gina sent me straight to my room. She said I needed some rest! Then I overheard her and David discussing dinner. I heard them talking about cooking something traditional to give me an idea of what English food is like. Then I saw them looking for cookery books, but I didn’t understand why. Anyway, after dinner, ... (5), I went to my room to write about my first day in England. When I saw my computer, ... (6), I even thought of writing a
traditional diary so as not to break the illusion_
But then I thought that I wanted to share this amazing experience with my fellow bloggers, so here you are, friends.

Day 2 9 ApnZ
Breakfast brought a surprise. I expected porridge, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, toast and jam,... (7).
Instead, I saw David and Gina taking out yoghurts, cornflakes, cheeses. All these things looked familiar. I usually have exactly the same stuff in my fridge. That felt strange.
Then David had to go and Gina suggested a shopping trip while he was busy. We went to the High Street and again I was surprised. The shops,... (8) flashed familiar brand names — Mexx, Next, Zara, Marks & Spencer, Gap and so on. I seem to have overlooked them yesterday evening.
After the first disappointment I was even glad. It was so much simpler to browse through familiar shops, knowing what to look for and not wasting time on something I had already tried on. In some shops they even promised that I could exchange or return their clothes in any of their affiliates in the world. That was good news, so I bought some really nice things.
Later on we had lunch at an ancient-looking pub. I wanted something traditional, so Gina recommended shepherd’s pie: minced meat with mashed potato in a rich gravy. However, when I looked around, I saw other people having hamburgers, pizza, sushi or chicken Tikka Masala. The waitress, who took my order, spoke English with a strong accent, and later I heard her speaking to someone in Polish. This was not my idea of a traditional English pub.
After lunch Gina and I decided to go to the cinema. Gina, who is, by the way, already twenty, said she was dying to see the latest part of The Twilight Saga, ... (9). I had already seen it, but I thought I might as well watch it again in English. We Joined a queue and talked about The Twilight Saga, and how popular it was both in Russia and England, and how much we were looking forward to watching the next part, and how we both liked Edward Cullen, because he was so handsome and romantic and brave and unhappy. And then I got the strange feeling that I had never left Moscow, as so many things around me were the same. We buy clothes in exactly the same shops, eat the same food, read the same books and watch the same films. When I shared this thought with Gina, she just smiled and said: “Welcome to the global village, Lisa!”

Й GLOBALISATION
Look at the tag on your jeans and you are likely to see that they were not made in the country where you are now. They were probably made in Vietnam of cotton produced in China and then a Spanish ship took them to different ports all over the world, so now they are being worn by people in Africa, Russia, France, etc.
Read about the latest American blockbuster on the Internet, then go and watch it at your local cinema in your language, and then spend the evening discussing it with your peers all over the world.
These are just a few examples of a phenomenon called globalisation.
Borders are disappearing, businesses are going global, countries and people are becoming more and more interconnected and interdependent. It is not unusual for members of a family to live in different countries and regularly meet for family occasions. Nobody Is surprised nowadays when their neighbour works In another city or even another country and gets home in time for dinner.
Unit 3 Lessons 4. 5. 6 113
On 1 November 1993, twenty seven European countries established the European Union (EU) and made the free movement of people, goods, services and money possible in huge areas of Europe. Thus a lot of countries with different political systems and historical backgrounds became united under the European Parliament with its headquarters in Strasbourg. Later these countries adopted common laws and policies, and some even introduced a common currency, the euro.
Some argue that similar things happened in the past and give numerous examples. Think of European colonisation of the Americas with its exchange of plants, animals, foods, tools and human population between the Old and the New Worlds.
However, at that time international exchange was much more difficult as long distances made it slow and inefficient. The great inventions of the twentieth century solved these problems. International travel became easy; any part of this planet Is within hours by plane. Communication is instant: people can phone, exchange e-mails and even participate in International meetings through video conferences without leaving their place of work.
Information and knowledge is shared, tested and discussed. Innovations successfully used by one country quickly become available everywhere. Mistakes made in one field are analysed and avoided in another. Greater access to modern technologies in the world of health care often makes the difference between life and death. People travel the world and get to know each other. They receive a better education and open their minds to new concepts.

People understand that we live in a small world and global problems can only be solved by working together. Non-governmental international organisations unite people from different countries to deal with global problems (climate change, air and water pollution, energy use or child labour regulations). Examples of such organisations are “Doctors without Borders", “Greenpeace", ‘ The Red Cross" and many others.
Wealthier countries help developing countries and people there get educational, medical and financial help which they didn’t have before. Cooperation between governments is more efficient and problems are solved faster and more successfully.
Money is transferred with a click of a mouse, which improves investment opportunities worldwide.
Scientists from different countries combine their efforts and achieve better results.
There are more public information sources: online libraries, books, films, media.
There is a universal means of communication: knowledge of English is becoming a must.

Cultural diversity and individuality is disappearing. A lot of countries are already using English instead of their national language.
The world economy, and even poliiics, is getting more and more controlled by multinational corporations.
Local businesses are finding it hard to compete with global ones, and have to close down. Places of work are taken away from small towns and villages. Countries all over the world are getting more and more westernised.
There may be a greater chance of disease spreading worldwide. For example, measles is known to have killed thousands of Indians when Europeans ariived on the American continent.
As you can see, the debate about the positive and negative aspects of globalisation will not be over soon, as both sides have their arguments.
Whatever your position is, globalisation is a process that is already happening. It has created the need for global thinking. New generations will have to deal with problems unheard of in the past. In the interconnected world people will not only have to understand their own country, speak its language and know its laws, but also understand nations, cultures, languages, and religions around the globe. Tolerance will become one of the key values of society, where people will learn to understand and respect each other’s differences.

David: We’ve prepared a surprise for you. We need to buy some fruit and vegetables, so we’re going to The Goods Shed. There’s no better place for buying good food in Canterbury. And after we finish, we can have lunch at a very good restaurant. I hope you’ll enjoy it, because they cook some of the best food in England.
Lisa: Thank you very much. It sounds great. But what’s The Goods Shed?
Gina: It’s a daily farmers’ market, where local farmers bring their
produce and sell it directly to people. It’s situated in a lovely old railway building where fruit and vegetables, meat, eggs, cheeses, honey, herbs, wine, cider, cut flowers and garden plants, breads, cakes and pies are sold on large wooden stalls.

I know what you’re talking about. It must be so much cheaper to buy things there.
Oh, no. I don’t think we’re going to save much at The Goods Shed.
In fact their products won’t be much cheaper than those in the supermarket.
Then why go there at all? Let’s go to the supermarket.
Well, the supermarket will certainly have a larger choice, but you can’t compare the quality of the products. At the farmers’ markets packaging is kept to a minimum, so you can see what you are buying, and the food hasn’t travelled hundreds or even thousands of miles to get to the stall, which means it’s fresh and full of vitamins. Most of the time the person selling the food is the one who produced it, and he or she will be able to tell you all about it. And don’t forget the atmosphere: people gather, meet friends, make acquaintances, and proud producers show off their products or share cooking recipes with their regular customers. Shopping there is a real pleasure, not a chore.
I can understand that. Mum and I often do our shopping at the local market. There are a lot of them in Russia, especially in summer. You’re lucky to have them. In 1997 there were no farmers’ markets in this country, but today there are already more than 400. Farmers’ markets deserve to succeed, because they support the local economy and small producers. They bring people food straight from the farm — not the packing house. Supermarkets have also noticed the popularity of local producers and are starting to buy from them too. By the way, we’ve arrived. Let’s go and say hello to our old friend Tom van den Bergh.
What does he do?
He sells all kinds of British cheeses. Tom is on his own personal crusade to bring local cheese back to the people. He thinks that supermarket cheeses don’t usually taste very good and people never get to know what real cheese is like. It’s Tom’s ambition to carefully select the nicest local cheeses, bring them to his customers and tell amazing stories about cheese. Children can’t wait to come back to Tom’s stalls, try his wonderful cheeses and listen to his fairy tales about cheese fairies who make

Lisa:

Lisa:
special kinds of cheese. All right, Tom makes some of them up, but to be serious, if there’s something Tom doesn’t know about cheese, it simply isn’t worth knowing.
Oh, I’m dying to try some of his cheese.
Wait until you see all the stalls. There’s Simon the Fish who will sell you fresh fish or traditionally smoked fish — not just sprayed with smoke flavour and colour. There’s Ben from Pawley Farm who sells ciders and juices done in the old-fashioned way. He makes them from freshly grown local fruit, and they are amazingly delicious and refreshing. And there are Anna’s cakes, which are seriously dangerous for people who want to stay slim. Nobody will be able to refuse a slice of her home-made chocolate cake, and then you’ll have to have another one, and another, and another.
And what’s that queue?
We must join it too. Jonny Sandwich is a real magician who makes different kinds of soups, pies and sandwiches. He gets all his ingredients from his neighbours: the greengrocer, the butcher and the fishmonger. The baker brings him bread which is still hot from the oven. No wonder Jonny’s sandwiches are famous all over England. I’d recommend to try a roast beef sandwich on fresh wheat bread with onions and mustard.
And I think you should save your appetite for the restaurant. I’ve already booked us a table, so don’t let me down.
All right, let’s hurry up then. We still haven’t started our shopping.

ICELANDIC VOLCANO
An erupting Icelandic volcano has shut down airline traffic over much of Europe.
Businesses are losing huge sums of money, important appointments are having to be cancelled, families have been separated — life in Europe is fast becoming a mess. So, contrary to popular belief, Europe does have its own set of dangerous volcanoes. And EyjafiallajokuU is not even among the ten most dangerous of them.
Unit 3 Lessons 12, 13 145
According to the scientists, the most powerful European volcanoes are Vesuvius and Etna in Italy.
Eyjafiallajokull first erupted on 20 March 2010, but this second eruption is said to have been even more powerful. It sent ash several kilometres into the air, and led to the cancellation of thousands of airline flights around the world. The ash cloud drifted in a south-easterly direction and is expected to affect the rest of Europe by midday today No flights will be allowed into the airspaces of Britain, Norway, Germany, France, Holland and many other countries. This will mean disruption for millions of stranded passengers.
According to British air traffic control service, the number one priority for all passengers is safety, as the volcanic ash is hazardous to aircraft. It consists of fine, abrasive powder which can put planes at risk by causing engines to shut down. In 1982 volcanic ash from another volcanic eruption caused all four engines of an aircraft to shut down. Luckily Captain Moody, the pilot, managed to land the plane safely.
There will be constant monitoring of the situation by the Meteorological Office. They forecast that the cloud could remain over Britain until the weekend. It will take a number of days before the ash falls to earth, depending on wind speeds and direction. It will be a hard time for those who are stranded at airports all over the world.
The advice to all passengers is to contact their airlines for specific information and avoid coming to airports if possible. For some European travellers it is possible to arrange alternative modes of travel, like buses and trains. However, others will have to extend their stays in Britain. Passengers will be refunded the full cost of their tickets, but any additional costs of choosing alternative modes of transport will not be paid for.

Lisa: You’re lucky, your parents are in Yorkshire. They’ll be able to get home soon.
I’m afraid we won’t see much of our mum over the next few months.
Why is that?
Our mum is a corporate lawyer for British Airways. Next month she’ll have to deal with endless lawsuits against her company.
But who would sue British Airways?
A lot of stranded passengers who missed their meetings, lost money and suffered all kinds of mental and physical stress.
Lisa: But that’s ridiculous. You can’t blame air
companies for not being able to fly because of the volcano eruption.
You’re right, but in the West, especially in America, people often sue big companies just to get some money out of them. Usually big companies agree to pay those people just to save their reputation, but sometimes they have to go to court. You surely have heard about the notorious McDonald’s lawsuit?
No, tell me.
It happened in 1992 when 79-year-old Stella Liebeck ordered a cup of coffee from the drive-through window of a local McDonald’s restaurant. She then placed the coffee cup between her knees and pulled open the plastic lid. Although the car was stationery, the cup turned over and spilled its contents all over Stella’s lap. McDonald’s coffee is served at a temperature of between 82 and 88®C, so the old lady got severely burnt. She had to spend a week in hospital, which was followed by two years of treatment. Mrs Liebeck asked McDonald’s to compensate her for her medical costs of $11,000, but the company offered only $800. Then the old lady went to court. A twelve-person jury found that McDonald’s was 80% responsible for the incident. They awarded Mrs Liebeck $640,000. This lawsuit soon became a common joke between lawyers.
Lisa: I don’t see anything funny about it. The old lady suffered terrible pain and she only asked for compensation for her medical expenses to start with.

After a night drinking beer to celebrate the end of exams, 19-year-old Kevin Mackle went to get a can of Cola from a vending machine. The young man seems to have tried to get the Cola without paying. He was pushing and rocking the machine and in the end it overbalanced and fell on him. The young man died. His relatives sued the Coca-Cola Company and the university, where the machine had been placed, for about $660,000. They said that the machine was not secured and there were no warning signs instructing students not to rock it.

In 1991 “Anheuser-Busch”, a famous beer-making company, was sued for false and misleading advertising. In their commercials beautiful women came to life for two men driving a truck full of Bud Light beer. A beer lover named Richard Overton complained that after he drank that beer, no beautiful women turned up. In fact, having drunk the beer, he had even less success with women.

A lot of American cars have a cruise control. This is a system that automatically controls the speed of a car, so if you have a long way to go, you don’t need to push the accelerator all the time. You can just set the cruise control. Mrs Grazinski from Oklahoma City bought herself a new camper van. On her way home she set the cruise control at 70 m.p.h., quietly left the driver’s seat and went to the back of her camper van to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the camper van crashed and overturned. The woman sued the manufacturer for not explaining in the owner’s manual that the cruise control couldn’t actually drive instead of her.

Необходимо убедиться в том, что вам полностью понятен смысл утверждений, прежде чем вы начнете читать.
Прочитав утверждение, попытайтесь предсказать возможный ответ, исходя из здравого смысла.
Приступайте к поиску ключевых слов и выражений. Как только вы их найдете, проанализируйте их, абстрагировавшись от предлагаемых утверждений. Убедитесь в том, что вы правильно поняли нужные фразы, затем снова сравните их с утверждениями из задания.
При выполнении такого типа заданий необходимо гибко использовать разные технологии чтения, поскольку в одном вопросе вам необходимо будет найти только ключевое слово, а для ответа на другой внимательно прочитать целый абзац.
Утверждение классифицируется как правильное, если оно соответствует информации текста, и как неправильное, если оно противоречит ей. Если на вопрос невозможно ответить „да“ или „нет", то, следовательно, информация в тексте отсутствует.
Все это кажется очевидным, однако задания такого типа всегда представляют определенную сложность. Утверждения, как правило, слегка отличаются от предложений из текста. Часто сложность

It’s a funny thing with the summer holidays. When you think about them in June, they seem endless and give rise to great expectations: “I’ll learn a couple of languages, lose a couple of pounds and learn to play the guitar,” you promise yourself, and there is nothing wrong with being that optimistic. However, by the end of August you realise that the summer is gone, and you haven’t done much of what you had planned. At the start of that summer I made a more realistic plan. I was going to visit England and see the places I had read so much about. Mum and Dad agreed to sponsor my plan. Moreover, they provided me with the address of their old friend living in England. At that time I couldn’t even guess what my lucky star had in store for me. The woman, who met me at the airport, was called Betsey and she was anything but ordinary. She knew all about England and immediately talked me out of the idea of spending all my time in London. We took her tiny car and followed the famous Roman roads made at the time of the Roman invasions. They are still very convenient as they are so straight. This was how my most wonderful and fascinating adventure started.

The idea of a tunnel under the Channel directly linking England and France is not a new one. About 200 years ago a French engineer told Napoleon that it would most definitely be possible to build a long tunnel under the Channel. Napoleon was more interested in fighting the British than in linking the two countries, and shortly afterwards a new war between Britain and France prevented any further development of the project.
Then in the late 1860s, Thomas de Gamond of France and Sir John Hawkshaw of Britain, two very successful engineers, produced quite practical plans for a railway tunnel that would finally end Britain’s long isolation as an island. Companies were quickly formed in both Britain and France, but actual digging did not begin until the early 1880s. A pilot tunnel nearly two kilometres long was dug from Folkestone out under the Channel, but further works on the site were stopped when risks of another European war became real.

A. I am sitting in my room, surrounded by my suitcases. It looks and feels empty. Here I am to face my new life as a student. In this life I will have to make new friends and enemies, find out how to do my shopping and my laundry, choose a bank and open up an account, find the cheapest telephone company to phone home and, of course, study. All these things to do and nobody to help or give advice. From now on my home is Raileigh Tower, one of the South Towers of the University. So at the moment I have two options: to fall on my bed and cry or to get out of my room and see what’s going on.
B. I finally decide to leave my room and shortly afterwards I am already sitting in the kitchen talking to two girls. They are both Irish and both Evelyns, and they look as lost and lonely as me, but together we feel much better and make a plan for the day. First of all, we are having lunch in one of the cafёs on campus, then we are going to the supermarket and then we’ll see.
C. We do as we have planned. A little cafe on the main square (Square 2) of the University, which is the heart of university life, is full of people. Here you can see representatives of nearly every country of the globe. Most of them are sitting at the tables outside the cafё, talking and laughing and exchanging jokes. I am looking at them, but cannot see who, like me, has just arrived. Everybody looks happy and relaxed. We buy some food which doesn’t taste of much, but we still eat it all.
D. After a quick lunch we are off to the supermarket, where we spend around two hours. It is a really enormous Tesco. We walk along the endless shelves trying to figure out what the best buy is. We must all be very careful spending our money. At last the bags are full and we are back on campus again.
E. We still have some time before dinner so we decide to have a good look around. We go to the fitness centre and to the library. It is nearly dark so we can admire the library’s reflection in the dark waters of the lake. We also see the Houses, a place where other students live. After that we feel that we have seen enough for today and spend a peaceful evening in the Top Bar, our local pub...

A. Then in the late 1860s, Thomas de Gamond of France and Sir John Hawkshaw of Britain, two very successful engineers, produced quite practical plans for a railway tunnel that would finally end Britain’s long isolation as an island. Companies were quickly formed in both Britain and France, but actual digging did not begin until the early 1880s. A pilot tunnel nearly two kilometres long was dug from Folkestone under the Channel, but further works on the site were stopped when risks of another European war became real.
B. The idea of a tunnel under the Channel directly linking England and France is not a new one. About 200 years ago a French engineer told Napoleon that it would most definitely be possible to build a long tunnel under the Channel because the sea bed, like the cliffs on both sides of the Channel, consisted of solid chalk. Napoleon was more interested in fighting the British than in linking the two countries.

с. Enormous terminals were constructed in London and Paris, and highspeed trains were produced. Britain would no longer be cut off from its European neighbours by the Channel.
D. However, in the 1980s Britain and France reopened talks and agreed to form a consortium to complete the project using privately funded capital. Thousands of workers using high-technology machinery worked around the clock in sometimes dangerous conditions, until French and British engineers were finally able to shake hands with each other for the first time, deep under the waters of the Channel.
E. It was not until after the last war that Britain and France once more began seriously considering the abandoned project. In 1960 the Channel Study Project Group published a proposal for a rail tunnel from Folkestone to Calais, and four years later the governments of the two countries agreed to proceed with the project at last. Digging began again, but the tunnel made slow progress. The British government closed the project in 1975.

ELEPHANT PARADE
The paths of the populations of modern metropolises and Asian elephants rarely cross nowadays. People struggle for life in the air-conditioned stone jungle while the elephants live in the exotic forests of countries like India, Malaysia and Thailand. However, this summer in London, elephants have become as much a part of the landscape as black taxis and double-deckers.
Wherever you go, you will bump into life-sized baby elephants. All together there are more than 250 model elephants in the streets, parks, famous locations and tourist attractions. These beautifully decorated beasts are part of the
172 Unif3 Lessons 18. 19
Elephant Parade, organised by the Elephant Family charity throughout the world, and London is just one of the participating cities. The aim of the parade is to draw people’s attention to the tragedy of Asian elephants which are facing extinction.
In the past 100 years the population of Asian elephants has fallen from 250,000 to 25,000.
The parade was supported by arts organisations, artists, conservationists, global corporations, politicians and celebrities, who took an active part in it.
One company provided paint, another — building materials. A young transport company, Eco Movers, for example, was responsible for transporting the elephants to their sites. The company was chosen because it owns 12 removal vans with electric engines. As the elephants had to be transported on Sunday night, nobody was disturbed — the electric vans didn’t produce any noise.
However, the most important contribution was made by artists who turned each elephant into a real masterpiece A young artist, Benjamin Shine, has transformed his elephant into a London black taxi which lights up at night.
Another popular favourite is The City in the Elephant where you can look inside and see a miniature world within! There are elephants painted as the British
flag, newspaper and even fish and chips. All of them are sure to bring smiles to people’s faces.
After the parade is over, each elephant will be auctioned (продан c аукциона) and the money will be used to help prevent the tragedy of Asian elephant extinction.
How does the Elephant Parade help Asian elephants? Can we call it another example of globalisation? Does globalisation have a positive or a negative effect in this case? Write a 5-8 sentence essay.

Globalisation is brought to court
There is no agreement on the question of whether globalisation has more positive or negative effects on people’s lives. On the one hand, it gives worldwide access to new technologies and information, on the other hand it causes cultural diversity to disappear. On the one hand, it brings goods from all over the world to your doorstep, on the other hand, it puts local farmers out of business. There are a lot of examples where globalisation has played both positive and negative roles. So let’s take globalisation to court. Choose a role card and get ready.

Really? But he’s on his gap year. I thought he was just at home on a short break from his traverls round the world! Well, he did go travelling. But he ran out of money so quickly that he had to find a job.
What does he do?
He works for a local employment agency.
That’s amazing. With no work experience it must have been hard to find a job.
Well, yes and no. At first Daniel found work as a lifeguard at the local beach just round the corner. It was easy and the pay wasn’t too bad. But Daniel spent so much time chatting with his friends that his boss fired him just a week later. Then Daniel decided to look for a real job.

So, we’ve heard some of your news,
Daniel.
How did you come to work for an employment agency?
I wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t been so worried about my future career.
I don’t quite understand you.
Well, it was like this. I was under constant pressure to choose a college and apply for a place, but I personally had no idea what I wanted to do. Maybe I could become a programmer or an engineer or even a gardener. How would I know if I hadn’t tried it?
Yes, I see what you mean. I wouldn’t like to be one of those people who make the wrong choice and hate their job for the rest of their life. Luckily, I’m pretty sure I want to be a journalist.
Well, you can’t be so sure until you actually start working. What does being a journalist mean for you?
Well, I’ll write articles, carry out investigations, maybe even turn up on TV and, above all, interview a lot of interesting people.
Fine, but when you start, you’ll have to write about neighbours’ conflicts, fallen trees and local garden competitions. How about that?
That’s how you learn. I even volunteered for a couple of jobs this year. I’ll probably start with sorting the mail, but somebody has to do that too.
All right, so you’ll work your way up from the bottom, but then, when you finally get the opportunity to interview celebrities, you may find out that they are snobbish and boring to talk to.
Luckily, journalists have lots of opportunities. I can specialise in politics, science or literature. There will always be something interesting to do. And I realise you’ve got to kiss some frogs before you find your prince of a job.
However, not every journalist will become famous or make a lot of money. Are you prepared for that?
I think so. For me, a career is about doing something I can be proud of. I want to be able to say, “I make a difference”.
I agree with Lisa. Making a lot of money is not my number one priority, either. However, I think some sort of recognition is very

important. My highest ambition is to become a world-famous writer and perhaps even win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
But you may be very disappointed if it doesn’t happen. I prefer to be realistic.
I’ll work hard to achieve all that, but if it doesn’t happen, it won’t be the end of the world. I think it’s important to have crazy dreams: they motivate you.
I’m glad you’re so sure. I was looking for a job which would help me choose what I want to do in life. The employment agency suited me perfectly. Every day they dealt with people who had lost their jobs, lost interest in their jobs, never had a job, or were thinking about what to choose as a job, just like me. It was a very interesting experience and I’ve learnt a lot from it.
Like whaf^
I’ve found out my strengths and weaknesses. I like to work with people. I’m a good listener. However, I’m also ambitious and don’t work well in a team. My future career will have to be creative and challenging, otherwise I’ll soon get bored and lose interest in it.
I think you just need to find something you love. If you can sit down to work at 7 a.m., and when you look up it’s 8 p.m. and you suddenly realise you’re hungry, then you have made the right choice.
That’s true. But sometimes you’re just not cut out for something.
No matter how hard I try, I won’t make a great mathematician.
I just don’t have that sort of brain. And if I wanted to be an engineer,
I should have done more Maths and Science, which I didn’t do.
I believe in second chances. You can catch up with subjects if you’re really motivated and if you have interesting ideas.
Anyway, have you made up your mind about university yet?
I’ve already got a pretty good idea, but I’m still not 100 per cent sure.
I don’t want to waste my time and money on a degree when I’m not even sure it’s something I want to do. To be honest, I was thinking about a career in politics. Please don’t laugh! I think I’ll need a degree in law and economics. I applied to Sydney University, but they didn’t consider my application as it was past the deadline.
So what are you going to do this year?
I won’t give up. I’ll apply again and in the meantime I’ll find myself a job in a law firm. Who knows, I may change my mind again.

2. Lisa wouldn’t have chosen journalism if she hadn’t had lots of experience in that area.
3. David wouldn’t have taken English Literature if he weren’t sure that he would get a Nobel Prize.
4. Daniel wouldn’t have chosen politics as a career if he hadn’t worked for an employment agency.

6. If Lisa had had more choice, she wouldn’t have volunteered for unskilled jobs.
7. David wouldn’t have chosen Literature if money were his top priority.
8 What do you think the following statements mean? Which of them do you
agree/ disagree with? Support your answers with some real-life examples.
1. You’ve got to kiss some frogs before you find your prince of a job.
2. You must be able to say, “I make a difference.”

4. Have you ever been motivated by a challenge? Talk about this.
5. What is your top priority for choosing a career? Job satisfaction? Money? Fame? Give your reasons.
11 Discuss the chances you have used or missed in your life. Do you believe in second chances?
Model: If I hadn't given up the lessons, I would be able to play the piano
really well now./If I hadn't gone on that trip, I wouldn't have found a great summer job.
.12 A lot of people just want to work to get rich. What would you do if you won the lottery? What would you be doing five years later?
David thinks that if you have a good idea, you can achieve anything. Work in a group. Write down your wildest dreams. Then try to draw up a plan for turning them into reality.
Model: I'd like to own the most popular restaurant in our town.
Plan:
1. Get the ri^ht eort of education- management, economics, food industry, etc.

Read the story about how Abraham Lincoln chose a career. Construct some conditional sentences about the story, as in the model. What lesson do you draw from this story?
Model: Lincoln wouldn't have bought a barrel from his neighbour if he
hadn't been a kind-hearted man.
Abraham Lincoln was a young man when one of his neighbours went bankrupt and had to sell everything he owned to pay his debts. Lincoln sympathised with his neighbour and bought a barrel from him. As he only wanted to help, he wasn’t really interested in the contents of the barrel. Lincoln put it into storage and forgot about it.
Some years later it was time for Lincoln to decide on what career to choose: journalism or law? While thinking about his future, he came across that old barrel again and finally got curious about what was actually inside. Believe it or not, there was a set of law books in the barrel. Lincoln decided it was a sign from above and chose law which led him to politics and, finally, to the presidency itself.

Hi, I’m Pam. I’ve always thought I wanted a career as a designer. And now that I am out in the big bad world and it’s time to decide, I’ve suddenly realised that it’s simply not for me. However, since I’ve never looked at any other options, that’s all I know about in terms of a career. So I thought maybe you could help me with some advice about interesting careers. What do (or did) you go to college for? What do you wish you had done differently? What do you think would be fun to do? I know nothing about the college world, and the future scares me. My parents are putting me under a lot of pressure to decide soon, but I don’t want to be stuck in a boring job. Thank you!
Mike here. I’m a recent college graduate with a B.A. in Journalism. I’d like to do something creative, but I don’t necessarily want to write. Ideally I’d like to get a job in advertising, editing, publishing, marketing or even the charity sector. It’s hard to find a job without much work experience, and even though I’ve had a couple of part-time jobs, it doesn’t help. I’m beginning to worry. At the same time I think I’m too skilled to do photocopying and make tea all the time. I really do want a good job, but how do you get one? I feel lost.

I’m Rachel. I’m writing to find out a bit more about this great unknown thing called a job search. Seriously, I’m clueless. I’m doing Marketing at college and I’m getting ready to graduate in June. I’ve prepared all the relevant documents, but they don’t look very impressive to me. I don’t even know how you find vacancies to apply for. Maybe someone can give me some guidance. I look through adverts and all I see are senior management positions, for which I don’t have the qualifications. Do you think you can give me some advice? Thanks!
My name is Tina. I graduated from university two years ago and came back to my home town. I’ve been unemployed ever since! I’m 23, and I have no direction. My degree was in French Literature which, although it was fun to study, isn’t very marketable, especially in our little town. To make matters worse. I’ve been finding it very difficult to think of a single thing I’d really like to do. Most people at least have a dream job or some sort of ambition, but not me. At the moment I’m looking at a few things which I may find interesting, but all of them require further studies, which means I’ll have to do a Masters for another year or two, without being sure that I will ever apply this knowledge. It’s hard enough feeling like you’re going nowhere, but not knowing where you want to go just makes it worse!
My name is Peter. I’m 23 and I’ll be graduating this October. I’ve studied Accounting and Maths, but now I’ve decided that I want to write. At the same time I need to find a job that will help me support myself and also stimulate my mind.

She arranged parties and excursions and represented the undergrads in the Students’ Council for two terms. One of the events she organised was even mentioned in The Guardian. She was also the captain of the LSE volleyball team. She is the author of several publications on management and marketing. Her works were published in 2010 and 2011. She is very efficient, ambitious, creative and confident. Unfortunately, she is also domineering, impatient and boastful She only speaks English, but is willing to study another language if her new position requires it. She has no work experience outside academia, but she will only accept a well-paid, pleasant and skilled job. Diana’s interests are history and Gothic architecture.
Alex Warren, 24. The guy is a real computer genius with a bachelor’s degree in IT. He spends all his life on the Internet. He had tried to work for a large company and was in charge of its IT department. However, too much responsibility made the job really stressful for him. In fact, his last project was a complete disaster, so the company fired him. Being shy, insecure and absent-minded, Alex found it difficult to be in charge. On the other hand, he is very friendly, creative and helpful. He’s bilingual in English and Spanish. So he is your typical guy who wants to change the world and make a difference. In his new job he is looking for intellectual satisfaction and a lot of advice and support from his future colleagues.
Sunil Tata, 30. He graduated from the University of Bombay and is a lawyer. Sunil specialises in human rights and has seven years of experience. His previous job was very skilled and creative but, unfortunately, badly paid. He’s very quiet, polite, pleasant, and everybody likes him. He’s extremely competent and intelligent and is an expert user of Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point. Sunil has moved from India to the UK and currently he is experiencing some problems with his work permit, but he is hoping that his future employer will help him resolve this.

Curriculum Vitae
A CV stands for curriculum vitae. It is Latin for “course of one’s life” so it should contain a detailed summary of the relevant events and experiences in your life, like education and work experience. A CV is an “advert” to sell yourself to employers or at least to get them interested. Normally you send a CV to an employer when they ask for one in a job advert, or when you are enquiring if any jobs are available. The purpose of your CV is to represent you as an attractive, interesting and worth considering for a job candidate.
Employers do not want to see CVs which are all written in exactly the same way. Therefore do not just copy standard CV samples! Your CV should be your own, personal and a little bit different. A CV should be well laid out and printed on a good quality printer. Hand-written CVs are for outsiders!
An employer may never get to read the actual CV, so it is very important to accompany your CV with a short covering letter. This letter will give you the chance to state your interest in a job, demonstrate some knowledge about the company you apply to and highlight your strengths.
2 ) What items of information do you think one should include in a CV? Work in pairs and make a list.
3 ) Listen to the speaker and check your answers.

c) List your most recent experience first Give the name of your employer, job title and, very importantly, what you actually did and achieved in that job Part-time work should be included too.
d) They will be particularly interested in activities where you had responsibility. A one-person hobby, such as stamp-collecting, may be of less interest to them, unless it is connected with the
work you wish to do. Don’t give too much detail. (If you were the captain of a sports team, they do not want to know the exact date you started, how many games you played and how many wins you had! They will ask at the interview if they are interested.) If you have published any articles, jointly with others or by yourself, give details. If you have been involved in any type of volunteer work, give details.
e) Ability in other languages, computing experience, or possession of a driving licence should be included.
f) Usually give two names — one from your place of study and one from any work situation you have had Make sure that referees are willing to give you a reference. Give their daytime and evening phone numbers if possible.

Dear Mr Fly,
I am writing in response to your advertisement in The Times for a trainee manager.

During my time at university, I was twice elected president of the students’ union. I very much enjoyed the experience of communicating with students, solving their problems and representing them at all levels. I speak French fluently and my German is conversational. I am hard-working, ambitious, creative and like a challenge.
Should you require any further information, please get in touch.
Yours sincerely,

If the (EMPLOY) is impressed with your CV, you will get an interview. An interview is the final step in the application process, when the (EMPLOY) meets you in person, asks you questions and sometimes tests your (ABLE). But there are situations when you don’t even realise you are being tested.
Imagine you are hiring someone for a job. How would you best evaluate the (APPLY)? From their job application forms, their (QUALIFY), their work experience, their handwriting, their zodiac signs? Although most of us would rely on a normal interview, research into (HIRE) practices comes up with a surprising conclusion: candidate performance in interviews, (PSYCHOLOGY) tests or (ASSESS) centres are not very reliable means of predicting his or her future success in a job. Be careful with CVs, too. In Britain, (EMPLOY) agencies know that the closest a person ever comes to perfection is in his CV.
A very (SUCCESS) airline company, one of America’s most attractive job providers, has a famously unusual approach to hiring. “We’re not interested in qualifications or experience,” explains its CEO. “We can train our staff, but we look for people with a nice (PERSON) and a sense of humour.” For this airline company the positive attitude of their staff is a key factor in their choice of people. Another (EMPLOY) once mentioned that, for him, the best indicator of potential management ability is an (APPLY)’s driving style. The first interview takes place in a car, and the person has to answer questions while driving through city traffic. The ways in which the (APPLY) handles city traffic, changes lanes, deals with (EXPECT) road conditions, etc., usually reflect his or her organisational and leadership skills.
Can you really apply everyday habits to work situations? The (INVENT) Thomas Edison thought so. He invited people, who wanted to work for him, to lunch. If they salted their food before tasting it, he didn’t hire them. The ability to make constant “reality checks” was what Edison (VALUE) in his staff most of all.

Ключевые слова из аудиозаписи могут присутствовать как в правильных, так и в неправильных вариантах ответов. Следует быть осторожным, поскольку часто это как раз неправильные варианты ответов. Помните, что правильный ответ должен включать ту же информацию, что и запись, а не те же самые слова. Необходимо обращать внимание на контекст, синонимы, антонимы, отрицательные предложения, поскольку часто правильный ответ имеет форму утвердительного предложения, которое содержит слово, противоположное по значению тому, что прозвучало в записи.

b) to amuse his students.
c) to prove that God created evil.
2. One of the students pointed out 4.

a) heat is the absence of cold.
b) cold is the absence of heat.
c) cold is given by God.
The same young student also claimed that
a) light is the same as heat
b) light is God
c) darkness is the absence of light.
Finally, the young student argued that
a) evil doesn’t exist.
b) God isn’t the Devil.
c) evil is the absence of light.
Once a university professor decided to demonstrate an example of pure logic to his students. He intrigued them by asking whether God was evil and promised to give a positive answer and prove it.
So he asked one of the students, “Did God create everything that exists?” The student bravely replied, “Yes, he did!” “God created everything?” the professor asked. “Yes, sir,” the student replied. Then the professor answered, “If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists. And, as we know, our works define who we are, thus God is evil.” The student became quiet and the professor was quite pleased with himself. He went even further claiming that this example easily proved that faith in God was a delusion.
Unit 4 Lessons 5, 16 225
А young student raised his hand and said, “Can I ask you a question, professor?” “Of course,” replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, “Professor, does cold exist?” The professor looked a bit confused. “Of course it exists. Why do you ask?”
The other students started to giggle at the young man’s stupidity. The student, however, went on, “In fact, sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is, in reality, the absence of heat. So we have created the word ‘cold’ to describe how we feel if we have no heat.” The audience fell silent and the student continued, “Professor, does darkness exist?” “Of course, it does,” the professor muttered. The student was ready for that. “I’m sorry to say you are wrong again, sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is only the absence of light. We can study light, but not darkness. You cannot measure it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light in it. Don’t you agree?” And then the young man returned to the original questions. “So, does evil exist, sir?” Totally confused, the professor didn’t want to back down, so he said, “How can anyone doubt it? We see it everywhere. Crime, violence, wars are the reality of our everyday life. Isn’t that what we mean by evil?”
However, the student had an answer for that. “In fact, evil does not exist, and certainly God didn’t create it. Evil is the word we found for the absence of God. It is just like darkness is the absence of light and cold is the absence of heat. Evil is what happens when man does not have God in his heart.” The professor left the room in silence. The young student’s name was Albert Einstein.

The Noun (Имя существительное)
Имена существительные обозначают живые существа, предметы, явления, вещества, абстрактные понятия.
Имена существительные в английском языке делятся на исчисляемые и неисчисляемые.
Исчисляемые имена существительные (Countable Nouns) обозначают предметы, которые можно посчитать (один, два... много) и которые употребляются как в единственном, так и во множественном числе: а реп — pens, а file — files.
Неисчисляемые имена существительные (Uncountable Nouns) обозначают понятия, явления, которые нельзя посчитать. Они не имеют формы множественного числа и не употребляются с неопределенным артиклем: This information is very important.— Эта информация очень важна. Honey is good for you.— Мед полезен.
• Неисчисляемыми являются:
• названия сыпучих, текучих, газообразных веществ, а также материалов: water, sugar, coffee, tea, butter, coal, meat, rice, soap, oxygen, air, smoke, glass, wood, wool;
• названия абстрактных понятий: accommodation, advice, love, friendship, information, knowledge, pity, news, happiness, work, truth, health, wisdom, time, experience, life, luck, sadness, shame;
• названия собирательных существительных: rubbish, money, luggage, furniture, machinery, equipment;
• названия игр: bowls, billiards, tennis, football;
• названия учебных предметов: Economics, Physics, Mathematics (Maths);
• названия языков: English, Chinese, French, German, Russian, Japanese;
• названия болезней: mumps, measles, flu;
• названия природных явлений: weather, rain, snow, wind, sunshine, thunder, heat, fog, frost, ice, darkness, light.
• Следующие счова и выражения употребляются с неисчисляемыми существительными, когда требуется указать количество:
а piece of news — новость
some pieces of news — несколько новостей
a piece of advice — совет
some pieces of advice — несколько советов
a piece of furniture — предмет мебели
a lot of pieces of furniture — много предметов мебели
a slice of bread — ломтик хлеба
two slices of bread — два ломтика хлеба
a bar of chocolate — плитка шоколада
three bars of chocolate — три плитки щоколада
Grarrmar Reference 231
• Некоторые существительные употребляются с глаголами только в форме множественного числа.
К таким существительным относятся:
• clothes, outskirts, stairs, gates, scissors, arms, looks, congratulations;
• существительные обозначающие предметы, которые состоят из двух частей: shoes — туфли, gloves — перчатки, pyjamas — пижама, tights — колготки, earrings — серьги, scissors — ножницы, trousers — брюки, shorts — шорты, glasses — очки.
• Существительные, обозначающие группу людей: Jury, stuff, team, family, audience, committee, band, class, army, press, government, police, употребляются c глаголами в форме единственного числа, когда речь идет о группе в целом, и с глаголами в форме множественного числа, когда речь идет конкретно о людях, из которых эта группа состоит.
The press is interested to know the details of the incident.— Пресса интересуется деталями инцидента. (Речь идет о группе в целом, поэтому глагол употребляется в единственном числе.)
During the summit the press usually stay in this hotel.— Bo время встречи на высшем уровне представители прессы останавливаются в отеле. (Речь идет о конкретных журналистах, поэтому глагол употребляется во множественном числе.)
Исчисляемые имена существительные в английском языке имеют форму единственного и множественного числа.
• Форма множественного числа имен существительных образуется с помощью окончания -(e)s, которое прибавляется к основе единственного числа.
Окончание -s читается как [z] после звонких согласных и гласных: а реп — pens [zj, а boy — boys [z].
После глухих согласных окончание -s читается как \s\: а тор — mops [s]. После S, SS, X, sh, ch окончание -es читается как [iz]: а bench — benches [iz]. Окончание -es во множественном числе имеют:
a) существительные, которые оканчиваются в единственном числе на S, SS, X, sh, ch: а fax —faxes [izL a bus — buses (izj, a bush — bushes [izl, a glass — glasses [iz], a coach — coaches [iz];
b) существительные, которые оканчиваются в единственном числе на о: hero — heroes. Но: photo — photos, piano — pianos, zero — zeros;
c) существительные, которые оканчиваются в единственном числе на у, перед которой стоит согласная. Буква у при этом меняется на i:
city — cities;
d) некоторые существительные, оканчивающиеся в единственном числе на f или fe. Буква f при этом меняется на v: shelf— shelves, wife — wives.
• В некоторых именах существительных множественное число образуется с помощью изменения корневой гласной:
232 Gra—mci Reference

They’ve already done three series of tests.— Они уже сделали три серии опытов. Smeshariki is а new popular series of children’s books.— Смешарики — новая популярная серия детских книг.
Telephone is а means of communication.— Телефон — средство общения.
The Case (Падеж)
Существительные в английском языке имеют два падежа — общий и притяжательный.
В общем падеже существительные не имеют окончаний.
The Possessive Case (Притяжательный падеж)
Притяжательный падеж выражает:
• значение принадлежности, обладания чем-то:
Bob’s book — книга Боба, ту friend’s саг — машина моего друга;
• какие отношения связывают двух или более людей:
Nina’s sister — сестра Нины; Mark and Rob’s mother — мама Марка и Роба. В притяжательном падеже употребляются в основном одушевленные существительные, обозначающие живое существо, которому принадлежит предмет, качество или признак. Существительное в единственном числе образует притяжательный падеж с помощью окончания -’s (знака апострофа и буквы s):
ту sister’s dress — платье моей сестры.
Gfommor Reference 233
Существуют две формы притяжательного падежа:
• ’s для существительных в единственном числе: а friend's саг — машина друга;
• ’ (апостроф) для существительных во множественном числе: the girls' room — комната девочек.
Когда два лица или более являются обладателями одного и того же предмета, ’S прибавляется только к последнему имени: Ann and Paul's house — дом Анны и Пола.
Если разные люди являются обладателями предмета и надо показать, что у каждого предмета есть владелец, то's добавляется к каждому имени: Betty's and Bob's dogs — собаки Бетти и Боба.
Также для выражения принадлежности употребляется существительное с предлогом of: the end of the story - конец рассказа.
234
The Article (Артикль)
Артикли в английском языке это служебные слова, употребляющиеся с именами существительными или словами, перешедшими в разряд существительных.
В современном английском языке существуют неопределенный артикль а (ап), определенный артикль the и нулевой артикль.
Неопределенный артикль
Неопределенный артикль имеет две формы как написания, так и произношения:
а (э] — перед исчисляемым существительным в единственном числе, если оно начинается с согласного звука: а film;
ап (on] — перед исчисляемым существительным в единственном числе, если оно начинается с гласного звука: ап answer.
Неопределенный артикль имеет следующие значения:
• классификации предмета, лица, явления:
It’s а photo.— Это фото (не рисунок).
Не is а doctor.— Он врач (не учитель).
• обобщения (предмет или лицо, о котором идет речь, не просто классифицируется, но и выступает в роли представителя класса предметов, лиц, явлений). Это особенно характерно для пословиц и поговорок, выражающих свойства, характерные для любого изданного класса предметов или лиц: А stitch т time saves nine.— Один стежок, сделанный вовремя, стоит девяти. А friend in need is a friend indeed.— Друг познается в беде.
• единичности, которое особенно очевидно при использовании с единицами времени, расстояния, мерами веса:
Не ivaitedfor them for an hour.— Он ждал их в течение часа.
Ап apple а day keeps the doctor away.— Ешь по яблоку в день, и доктор не нужен.
Buy а bar of chocolate.— Купи плитку шоколада.

Определенный артикль
Определенный артикль the может употребляться с любыми существительными.
• Артикль the употребляется, когда речь идет о лице или предмете, которые упоминались ранее:

Артикль the употребляется:
перед существительными, обозначающими единственные в своем роде предметы и явления: the sun, the sky, the Parthenon, the world; перед названиями музыкальных инструментов в таких сочетаниях, как: to play the guitar, to play the piano;
перед фамилиями и национальностями, когда имеется в виду вся семья: the Inins, the MacWizards, the English, the Americans, the Russians; перед исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе, когда существительное является представителем целого класса предметов: The giraffe is the tallest animal on our planet.— Жираф — самое высокое животное на нашей планете.

Horses are clever animals.— Лошади — умные животные.
Употребление артикля с существительными, обозначающими названия веществ
Неисчисляемые существительные, обозначающие названия веществ, употребляются без артикля, если в предложении речь идет о веществе как таковом: I don't like milk.— Я не люблю молоко.
Артикль the с названиями веществ употребляется, если имеется лимитирующее придаточное предложение:
The meat, which they were eating, was tasty.— Мясо, которое они ели, было вкусным.
Употребление артикля с существительными bed, church, college, hospifal, prison, school
В случае, если эти существительные и.меют значение конкретного места, здания или учреждения, они употребляются с артиклем по общим правилам. В случае, если эти существительные обозначают процессы, которые в них происходят, артикль с этими существительными не употребляется: bed (сон, болезнь), hospital (лечение), school (учеба), prison (лишение свободы), church (церковная служба).

Если имеется лимитирующее придаточное предложение, то употребляется определенный артикль:
ГИ never forget the dinner which we had in that little cafe in Chelyabinsk.— Я никогда не забуду обед, который мы ели в том маленьком кафе в Челябинске.
Употребление артикля с существительными,

She didn’t want to spend the evening alone.— Она не хотела проводить вечер (тот вечер) в одиночестве.
The weather was warm on the day of her arrival.— Погода в день ее приезда была теплая.
Если перечисленные выше существительные входят в состав составного именного сказуемого, то артикль не употребляется:
It was morning when she realized that he would never come back.— Было уже утро, когда она осознала, что он не вернется никогда.
Артикль также не употребляется, если перед существительными стоят прилагательные early, late, high и broad:
It was late evening.— Был поздний вечер.
It was early morning.— Было раннее утро.
It was high noon.— Был самый полдень.
It was broad day.— Была самая середина дня.

It was а sunny day, and there were a lot of people in the street.— Был солнечный день, и на улице было много людей.
Неопределенный артикль также употребляется с существительными, обозначающими названия части суток, если необходимо передать значение однажды вечером (утром, днем, ночью) или один (какой-нибудь) день (вечер и т. д.):

Артикль не употребляется, если существительные — названия частей суток имеют в качестве определении слова yesterday или tomorrow, а также названия дней недели:
She will be here tomorrow afternoon.— Она будет здесь завтра днем.
Her train arrives on Friday evening.— Ее поезд прибывает в пятницу вечером.
Употребление артиклей с существительными, обозначающими
времена года: spring, summer, autumn, winter
Если эти существительные являются подлежащими в предложении и употребляются в конкретном значении данного календарного сезона, то употребляется определенный артикль:
The autumn was very fine that year, and they were very happy.— Осень была замечательной в том году, и они были очень счастливы.
Когда эти существительные употребляются в обобщенном значении холодного и теплого, весеннего или осеннего времени, то возможен как определенный, так и нулевой артикль:
(The) Winter in Siberia is very long and cold.— Зима в Сибири длинная и холодная.
Если существительное — название времени года — является в предложении дополнением, то с ним обычно употребляется определенный артикль: We are going to spend the summer in the village.— Мы собираемся провести лето в деревне.
Если существительное — название времени года — входит в состав составного именного сказуемого, то артикль перед ним не употребляется:
It was summer, and nobody ivas in town.— Было лето, и в городе никого не было.
Артикль также не употребляется, если перед существительным в этом случае стоит прилагательное early или late:
It was early spring when he first met her.— Была ранняя весна, когда он впервые встретил ее.
Определенный артикль употребляется с названиями времен года после предлогов during и for:
I am not going to stay in Germany for the winter.— Я не собираюсь оставаться на зиму в Германии.
После предлогов in, till, until, before, after возможно употребление как нулевого, так и определенного артикля:
Не is going to come back before (the) winter.
She normally travels a lot in (the) summer.
They won't be able to pay for the house before (the) winter.
The Adjective (Имя прилагательное)
Имя прилагательное обозначает отличительный признак предмета лица или явления. Имена прилагательные не изменяются по лицам и числам:
238 Grommor Reference
We saw a lot of new houses in that town.— В том городе мы видели много новых домов.
В предложении имена прилагательные могут выполнять функцию определения или части составного именного сказуемого:
She bought а nice dress — Она купила красивое платье.
It's ап old village.— Это старая деревня.
Если в предложении есть несколько определений, то порядок их следования следующий:
качество (говорящий выражает свое мнение о предмете) + размер + возраст + цвет + происхождение -I- материал
Качество Размер Возраст j Цвет 11роисхождение Материал Существительное
funny —^ -new English П toy
fat old black rabbit j
small grey ' woolen skirt
lovely small П red German leather handbag
little new wooden house
В зависимости от характера признака все прилагательные английского языка подразделяются на качественные и относительные.
Степени сравнения прилагательных
Качественные имена прилагательные имеют положительную, сравнительную и превосходную степени сравнения.
• К прилагательным в положительной степени, состоящим из одного или двух слогов, оканчивающимся на -у, -ow, -ег, в сравнительной степени прибавляется суффикс -ег, а в превосходной степени — суффикс -est.
Положительная степень long — длинный
clever — умный narrow — узкий
Сравнительная степень Превосходная степень
longer ['loogaj —длиннее
cleverer — умнее narrower — уже
longest I'bogost] — самый длинный
cleverest — самый умный

• Качества предметов можно также сравнивать:
• с помощью союза than (чем):
Tom's flat is bigger than Misha's.— Квартира Тома больше, чем квартира Миши.
• с помощью союзов as... as (такой же, как) и not as... as (не такой, как): This book is as interesting as that one.— Эта книга такая же интересная, как та.
This book is not as interesting as that one.— Эта книга не такая интересная, как та.
• с помощью the..., the (чем..., тем):

The sooner he comes, the better.— Чем раньше он придет, тем лучше.
The Adverb (Наречие)
Наречие — часть речи, которая определяет характер протекания действия и отвечает на вопросы как? где? когда? почему?
Наречия разделяются на подклассы:
• наречия времени (когда?): now, then, yesterday;
• наречия частотности (как часто?): often, never, ever, sometimes;
• наречия места и направления (где? куда?): here, there, inside, abroad;
• наречия образа действия (как?): quickly, loudly, suddenly.
Большинство наречий образуются от прилагательных с помощью суффикса -1у:
sad (грустный) — sadly (грустно).
Если прилагательное оканчивается на букву у, а перед ней стоит согласная, то при добавлении суффикса -1у конечная у меняется на i: happy (счастливый) — happily (счастливо).
Наречия имеют положительную, сравнительную и превосходную степени сравнения. Наречия, которые оканчиваются на 1у, образуют степени сравнения с помощью more (less) и most (least):
carefully— more carefully — most carefully; quietly— less quietly — least quietly. Только небольшое количество наречий образуют степени сравнения с помощью -ег, -est:
fast (быстро) — faster — fastest, early (рано) — earlier — earliest.
Grammor Reference 241
Запомните наречия, которые образуют степени сравнения не по правилу.
well (хорошо) — better — best
badly (плохо) — worse — worst
much/many (много) — more — most
little (мало) — less — least
far (далеко) —farther—farthest

The Pronoun (Местоимение)
Местоимение — это часть речи, которая указывает на предмет или качество предмета, не называя его прямо. Местоимения могут заменять существительные или прилагательные:
I have а cousin.— У меня есть двоюродный брат.
He's а programmer.— Он программист.
Местоимения делятся на несколько подгрупп: личные, притяжательные, неопределенные, возвратные.
Personal pronouns (Личные местоимения)
Личные местоимения в английском языке имеют два падежа — именительный и объектный.
Если личные местоимения употребляются в предложении в качестве подлежащего, то они стоят в именительном падеже. Если они употребляются в предложении в качестве дополнения, то — в объектном падеже.
Именительный падеж кто? что?
Объектный падеж кого? что? кому? чему? кем? чем?
о ком? о чем?

242 Grommar Reference
Possessive pronouns (Притяжательные местоимения)
Притяжательные местоимения имеют две формы — основную и абсолютную. Притяжательные местоимения в основной форме служат определением к существительным и ставятся перед ними:
ту book — моя книга, his friends — его друзья.
Притяжательные местоимения в абсолютной форме заменяют существительные, поэтому существительные после них не употребляются:
Му flat is bigger than yours.— Моя квартира больше, чем ваша.
Осмиьмаи форма притяжательных местоимений Абсолютная форл1а притяжательных местоимений i
This is my book. The book is mine.

The Verb (Глагол)
Глагол — это часть речи, которая обозначает действие или состояние. В соответствии со значением и ролью в предложении английские глаголы делятся на основные (смысловые) и вспомогательные.
Основной глагол имеет собственное лексическое значение и выполняет роль сказуемого:
Не lives т Moscow.— Он живет в Москве.
Вспомогательный глагол не имеет никакого лексического значения и употребляется в сочетании с основным глаголом для образования отрицательных и вопросительных предложений и временных форм:
Do you play tennis?
He didn*t like the hotel.
I have seen a very interesting film.
They will meet next month.
She was sure that she would see him at the party.
Английский глагол имеет четыре основные формы:
I форма — неопределенная форма глагола (the Infinitive)
to work (правильный глагол)
П форма — прошедшее простое время (the Past Simple Tense)
III форма — причастие прошедшего времени
(the Past Participle)
worked
worked

Конструкция used to
Для того чтобы рассказать о действиях, которые регулярно происходили в прошлом, в английском языке используется конструкция used to, которая переводится как бывало/имел обыкновение:
Не used to play football on Sundays when he was twenty.— Когда ему было двадцать лет, он имел обыкновение играть в футбол по воскресеньям. We used to meet very often five years ago.— Пять лет назад мы, бывало, часто встречались.
• Образование утвердительных предложений с конструкцией used to:
I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they used to play the piano two years ago.
• Вопросительная и отрицательная формы с конструкцией used to образуются с помощью вспомогательного глагола did:
Не didn't use to play the piano tn/o years ago.
Did he use to play the piano? — Yes, he did./No, he didn't.
What did he use to do two years ago?
Вопрос к подлежащему
Who used to play the piano two years ago? — He did.
Следует уметь делать различие между used to (бывало / имел обыкновение) и be used to/get used to (привыкнуть к чему либо).
Why don't you go to Egypt in summer? — Гт not used to the heat.
Почему вы не ездите в Египет летом? — Я не привыкла к жаре.
First Peter couldn’t sleep because of the noise in the street, but soon he got used to it. Сначала Петр не мог спать из-за шума на улице, но вскоре он к этому привык.

She would eat a lot of sweets when she was younger.— Она, бывало, ела много конфет, когда была моложе.
Обратите внимание! Would не употребляется со статическими глаголами. Нельзя сказать: They would have horses.

Придаточные предложения времени и условия
В английских придаточных предложениях времени и условия для выражения будущих действий употребляется the Present Simple, а не the Future Simple. Английские придаточные предложения времени присоединяются к главному предложению с помощью союзов when (когда), till/until (до тех пор пока (не), as soon as (как только), after (после того как), as (в то время как), while (в то время как, пока), before (прежде чем):
Не will send an e-mail as soon as he gets the parcel.— Он отправит сообщение (когда?), как только получит посылку.
258 Grammar Reference
When they arrive. Vll phone you.— Когда они приедут, я вам позвоню.
ГИ wait till he comes back.— Я подожду до тех пор, пока он не вернется. We4l watch TV after we do our homework.— Мы будем смотреть телевизор после того, как сделаем уроки.
We’ll have to clean his room before he arrives.— Надо убрать его комнату до того, как он приедет.
Английские придаточные предложения условия присоединяются к главному предложению с помощью союзов if (если), unless (если не), in case (в случае, если), on condition that (при условии что), provided that (при условии что): If he asks, she’ll tell him the truth.— Если он спросит, она скажет ему правду. Союзы unless, till, untill имеют отрицательное значение, и, поскольку в английском предложении возможно только одно отрицание, в придаточном предложении больше отрицания не нужно. Предложение Я не смогу ничего сделать, если он не согласится помочь переводится на английский язык следующим образом: I won’t be able to do anything unless he agrees to help. Нельзя сказать: I won’t be able to do anything unless he doesn’t agree to help. Предложение Они не пришлют нам книгу до тех пор, пока мы за нее не заплатим переводится на английский язык следующим образом: They won’t send us the book until we pay for it.
Нельзя сказать: They won’t send us the book until we don’t pay for it. Придаточное предложение может стоять как после главного предложения, так и перед ним. Если придаточное предложение стоит перед главным предложением, оно отделяется запятой:
We’ll go to the theatre if my friend phones me.
If my friend phones me, we’ll go to the theatre.
Важно различать виды придаточных предложений, которые присоединяются к главному предложению с помощью союзов when и if.
Если это изъяснительное придаточное предложение, то употребляется the Future Simple Tense:
I don’t know when he’ll come.— Я не знаю (чего?), когда он придет.
Не asks her if she’ll go to the cinema.— Он спрашивает ее (о чем?), пойдет ли она в кино.
Если это придаточное предложение времени, то употребляется the Present Simple Tense:
When he comes, he’ll help you.— Когда он придет, он поможет тебе.
If I go to the cinema. I’ll phone you.— Если я пойду в кино, я позвоню тебе.

I've cut ту finger. I can't write.— Я порезал палец. (Палец я порезал раньше, а сейчас у меня есть след от пореза.) Я не могу писать.

Различия в употреблении the Present Perfect Tense
и the Past Simple Tense
i’he Present Perfect tense
The Past Simple Tense
/ can't unlock the door, because I have lost my key.— Я не могу отпереть дверь, потому что я потерял ключ. (Ключ потерян в прошлом, неизвестно когда, но сейчас я не могу отпереть дверь. Важен факт отсутствия ключа.)
I have visited ту granny twice this year.— Я посетил бабушку дважды в этом году. (Год еще не закончился.)
I lost ту key two weeks ago.— Я потерял ключ две недели назад. (Ключ потерян две недели назад. Для говорящего важно, когда он был потерян.)

I saw them today at 10 o'clock.— Я видел их сегодня в 10 часов. (Есть уточнение, когда закончился упомя нутый отрезок времени.)
Queen Elizabeth I never saw a car.—
Королева Елизавета I никогда не видела машину. (Говоря о Елизавете I, мы говорим о законченном периоде времени в прошлом, поскольку она давно умерла.)
The Present Perfect Tense не употребляется с обозначением места или времени совершения действия и, следовательно, не употребляется в вопросах, начинающихся с When и Where.
Исключение составляет вопрос Where have you been? — Где ты был?, если он задается в начале разговора.
The Past Perfect Ten?'' (Прошедшее совершенное время)
Употребление the Past Perfect Tense
• Глагол в форме the Past Perfect выражает действие, которое произошло раньше другого действия в прошлом. Действие, которое произошло раньше, употребляется в форме the Past Perfect, а то, которое произошло позже,— в the Past Simple Tense:
Misha had helped Robin before he met Rob.— Миша помог Робину прежде, чем он познакомился с Робом.
Обратите внимание! The Past Perfect Tense употребляется для выражения предшествования. Если описываются действия, которые следовали друг за другом, употребляется the Past Simple Tense.
Сравните:
She bought some meat, came home and cooked dinner.— Она купила мясо, пришла домой и приготовила обед.
270 Grammar Reference
Before she cooked dinner she had bought some meat.— Прежде чем она приготовила обед, она купила мясо.
The Past Perfect Tense также выражает действие, которое произошло до определенного момента в прошлом. Этот момент может быть указан такими обозначениями времени, как: by six o'clock — к 6 часам by Monday — к понедельнику by that time — к тому времени
We had moved to a new flat by that time.— К тому времени мы переехали на новую квартиру.
The Past Perfect Tense употребляется в главном предложении, когда придаточное начинается с союза when, который образует составной союз вместе с наречием hardly (scarcely), стоящим в главном предложении: hardly... when — едва (только)..., как scarcely... when — едва (только)..., как
Не had hardly reached the shelter when it started raining.— Едва он дошел до укрытия, как начался дождь.
The Past Perfect Tense также употребляется в главном предложении, когда придаточное начинается с союза than, который образует составной союз вместе с наречием по sooner, стоящим в главном предложении: по sooner... than — не успел..., как
She had по sooner thought about him than he phoned.— He успела она подумать о нем, как он позвонил.
Часто в предложениях такого типа используется обратный порядок слов — инверсия:
Hardly had he opened the door when the telephone rang.— Едва он открыл дверь, как зазвонил телефон.
No sooner had he arrived than he fell ill.— He успел он приехать, как заболел.

The Present Perfea Progressive Tense
(Настоящее совершенное длящееся время) Употребление the Present Perfect Progressive Tense
The Present Perfect Progressive Tense употребляется для выражения длящегося действия, которое началось в прошлом, все еще продолжается в настоящее время и определенным образом подводит итог продолжительности этого действия:
I have been reading this book for a week.— Я читаю эту книгу уже неделю.
В предложениях с the Present Perfect Progressive Tense, как правило, указывается период времени, в течение которого происходит действие. Период времени может быть выражен:
обстоятельствами времени типа: all my life (всю жизнь), all these years (все эти годы), lately (в последнее время):
I have been working longer hours lately.— В последнее время я остаюсь на работе дольше.
обстоятельствами времени, вводимыми предлогом for (в течение): for а week (в течение недели), for five years (в течение пяти лет), for а long time (в течение длительного времени):
Lena and Sveta have already been talking on the phone for half an hour.— Лена и Света разговаривают по телефону уже полчаса.
обстоятельствами времени, вводимыми since. В зависимости от контекста since переводится по-разному: с; с тех пор; с тех пор, как:
She has been dreaming about a dog since she was a child.— Она мечтает о собаке с детства.
Jane gave те this CD on Monday. I have been listening to it since then.— Джейн дала мне диск в понедельник. С тех пор я его слушаю.
She has been sleeping since she got back from her trip.— Она спит с тех пор, как вернулась из поездки.
Таким образом, since используется для обозначения момента начала действия.

The Modal Verbs (Модальные глаголы)
в английском языке есть глаголы, выражающие не действие, а отношение к действию. Они называются модальными. К модальным глаголам относятся глаголы сап, may, must, should, need, have to, be, be able to. Они обозначают возможность, способность, вероятность, необходимость совершения действия, выраженного основным глаголом:
Не сап play tennis.— Он умеет играть в теннис.
You must help him.— Ты должен ему помочь.
She should eat more vegetables.— Ей следует есть больше овощей.
You may phone те tomorrow.— Вы можете позвонить мне завтра.
Модальные глаголы имеют не все формы, которые имеют другие глаголы. Инфинитив, следующий за этими глаголами, употребляется без частицы to.
В 3 лице единственного числа настоящего времени модальные глаголы не имеют окончания -s.
сап
Модальный глагол сап имеет два времени: настоящее и прошедшее — форму сап для всех лиц единственного и множественного числа настоящего времени и форму could для всех лиц единственного и множественного числа прошедшего времени.

Вопросительная форма образуется без вспомогательного глагола, причем модальный глагол ставится перед подлежащим:
Сап he play tennis? — Он умеет играть в теннис?
Yes, he can. /No, he can't.
Отрицательная форма образуется с помощью частицы not, которая ставится непосредственно после модального глагола и пишется с ним слитно: She cannot (can't) swim.— Она не умеет плавать.
Для выражения способности совершить действие также употребляется словосочетание to be able to (быть в состоянии). Это сочетание употребляется в разных временах:
Не is able to translate the text.— Он может перевести текст.
Не was able to read at the age of five.— Он умел читать в возрасте пяти лет. He'll be able to translate the text next week.— Он сможет перевести текст на следующей неделе.

The Direct Speech and the Reported Speech
{Прямая и косвенная речь)
в английском языке существует два способа передачи чужого высказыва ния. Прямая речь (the Direct Speech) передает его без всяких изменений.

Тот tells his friend, ‘7 work in London.”— Том говорит своему другу: „Я работаю в Лондоне'*.
Тот tells his friend that he works in London.— Том говорит своему другу, что он работает в Лондоне.
Правила перевода прямой речи в косвенную Утверждения переводятся в косвенную речь следующим образом:

• союз that можно не употреблять:

Не tells Lena, 'Ч see ту friends every day.”— Он говорит Лене: „Я вижусь со своими друзьями каждый день".
Не tells Lena that he sees his friends every day.— Он говорит Лене, что он видится со своими друзьями каждый день.
Если в прямой речи содержится просьба или приказание, то при переводе в косвенную речь перед ней:
• ставятся слова автора, содержащие глаголы to ask smb (просить кого-либо) или to tell smb (велеть кому-либо);
• глагол в косвенной речи ставится в форме инфинитива.
1) Вежливая просьба сделать что-либо
• tell smb/say to smb (сказать кому-то) меняются на ask smb (просить кого-то);

Прямой и обратный порядок слов
Если в прямой речи содержится вопрос, то в косвенной речи в вопросительных предложениях употребляется прямой порядок слов.
Напомним, что прямой порядок слов встречается в утвердительных и отрицательных предложениях, когда основной глагол или вспомогательный глагол следует за подлежащим:
Не likes coffee. They didn’t play football yesterday.
Обратный порядок слов встречается в вопросительных предложениях, когда основной глагол или вспомогательный глагол стоит перед подлежащим: Where did they go? Where are they?

Не asks them, “Do you speak French?”— Он спрашивает их: „Вы говорите по-французски?"

„Джим звонил вчера?"— спрашивает маму Анна.— „Нет",— говорит мама. Ann asks her mum if Jim phoned yesterday and mum says that he didn’t.— Анна спрашивает маму, звонил ли Джим вчера, и мама говорит, что он не звонил.

Согласование времен — это зависимость времени глагола-сказуемого придаточного предложения от времени глагола-сказуемого главного предложения.
^ Если глагол-сказуемое главного предложения стоит в одной из форм прошедшего времени, то глагол-сказуемое придаточного предложения (в основном изъяснительного) тоже стоит в одной из форм прошедшего времени: She asked what he ivas doing in her room.— Она спросила, что он делает в ее комнате.
Не said that they played football on Sundays.— Он сказал, что они играют в футбол по воскресеньям.
« Если действие придаточного предложения происходит одновременно с действием главного, то глагол-сказуемое придаточного предложения употребляется в the Past Simple или the Past Progressive:
He said that he knew my friend.— Он сказал, что он знает моего друга. She said that he was reading a newspaper.— Она сказала, что он читает газету.
• Если действие придаточного предложения предшествует действию главного, то глагол-сказуемое придаточного предложения употребляется в the Past Perfect:
Не said that Тот had phoned the day before.— Он сказал, что Том звонил вчера/накануне.
• Если действие придаточного предложения является будущим по отношению к действию главного предложения, то глагол-сказуемое придаточного предложения употребляется в форме the Future-in-the Past:
Не said that he would help him.— Он сказал, что поможет ему.

Перевод на русский язык
В русском языке нет правила согласования времен, поэтому при переводе на русский язык в придаточном предложении глагол-сказуемое остается в той форме, в которой он стоял в прямой речи:
Не said, “I know Mary.”— Он сказал: „Я знаю Мэри“.
Не said that he knew Mary.— Он сказал, что он знает Мэри.
Не said, “I knew Mary.”— Он сказал: „Я знал Мэри“.
Grammar Reference 285
Не said that he had known Mary.— Он сказал, что он знал Мэри когда-то. She said, 'They are having dinner.’'— Она сказала: „Они обедают”.
She said that they were having dinner.— Она сказала, что они обедают.
Случаи отклонения от правила согласования времен
Правило согласования времен может не соблюдаться:
• когда в предложении сообщается о чем-то, что считается общепризнанным: "America is а rich country,” he said.
He said that America is a rich country.
Ho если в предложении излагается неверное утверждение, то правило согласования времен должно соблюдаться обязательно:
"America is а poor country,” he said.
He said that America was a poor country.
• когда сообщаются общеизвестные истины или явление считается характерным, обычным, привычным:
"Water boils at 100 degrees,” the teacher said.
The teacher said that water boils at 100 degrees.
• модальные глаголы need, should не подчиняются правилу согласования времен:
Не said that we should go away.
Глагол must не изменяется, если он выражает приказание или совет:
"You must do your homework in the morning,” he said to his son.
He told his son that he must do his homework in the morning.
Если же must выражает необходимость совершения действия, то он заменяется на had to:
"I must get up early,” he said.
He said that he had to get up early.
• если указано время совершения действия:
“I saw the Eiffel Tower when I was in Paris,” she said.
She said that she saw the Eiffel Tower when she was in Paris.
"I began to learn English in 2002,” he said.
He said that he began to learn English in 2002.
Когда вы используете в рассказе косвенную речь, обращайте внимание на глаголы, которые ей предшествуют:
• to admit — признавать
She said, Т am wrong.”— Она сказала: „Я неправа”.
She admitted that she was wrong.— Она признала, что она неправа.
• to complain — жаловаться
She said, "Unfortunately, I’ve gained weight.”
She complained that she had gained weight.— Она пожаловалась, что набрала в весе.

The doctor said to Sabby, “You'll have to eat less bread and sugar.”
The doctor advised Sabby to eat less bread and sugar.— Доктор посоветовал Сэбби есть меньше хлеба и сахара.
Некоторые предложения целесообразнее не переводить дословно в косвенную речь, а передавать их смысл с помощью следующих глаголов:
• to agree /disagree — соглашаться/не соглашаться
• to agree / refuse — соглашаться / отказываться делать что-либо
• to accept (an offer, an invitation) — принимать (предложение, приглашение) Alex said to his friend, “1 won't go with you.”— Алекс сказал другу: „Я не пойду с тобой“.

The Active Voice and the Passive Voice (Действительный и страдательный залог)
Залог — это форма глагола, которая показывает, сам предмет или лицо производит действие (действительный залог) или действие производится над предметом или лицом (страдательный залог).
Действительный залог (the Active Voice):
Kate sent the letter last week.— Катя послала письмо на прошлой неделе, (Действие производит само лицо.)
• Страдательный залог (the Passive Voice):
The letter was sent by Kate last week.— Письмо было послано Катей на прошлой неделе. (Действие производится над предметом — письмом.)
В страдательном залоге часто не упоминается, кем или с помощью чего было совершено действие, но если такая информация нужна, то используются предлоги by (кем) или with (с помощью чего).
The job was done by Ann.— Работа была сделана Аней.
The letter was written with a pen.— Письмо было написано ручкой.
Образование форм страдательного залога
Страдательный залог образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола to be в соответствующем времени и III формы основного глагола (Причастия II).

Способы перевода предложений в страдательном залоге
на русский язык
Предложения в страдательном залоге на русский язык переводятся:
• с помощью глагола быть и краткой формы причастия страдательного залога
Обратите внимание, что глагол быть в настоящем времени опускается: The letter is written.— Письмо написано.
The letter was written.— Письмо было написано.
The letter will be written — Письмо будет написано
• неопределенно-личными предложениями
The room is cleaned every day.— Комнату убирают каждый день.
The room was cleaned every day.— Комнату убирали каждый день.
The room will be cleaned every day.— Комнату будут убирать каждый день.
• с помощью глаголов, которые оканчиваются на -ся, если предложения стоят в the Present Progressive Passive и the Past Progressive Passive:
The house is being built. Дом строится.
The house was being built, when I was a child.— Дом строился, когда я был ребенком.
The house will be built.— Дом построят.
Особенности употребления страдательного залога
Прямое и косвенное дополнение действительного залога могут стать подлежащими страдательного залога со следующими глаголами:
to give smb smth/smth to .smb — давать кому-либо что-либо/что-либо кому-либо
to send smb smth/smth to smb — посылать кому-либо что-либо/что-либо кому-либо
to pay smb smth/smth to smb — платить кому-либо что-либо/что-либо кому-либо
to promise smb smth/smth to smb — обещать кому-либо что-либо/ что-либо кому-либо
— предлагать кому-либо что-либо/
to offer smb smth/smth to smb
что-либо кому-либо
to leave smb smth/smth to smb
что-либо кому-либо
to show smb smth/smth to smb
что-либо кому-либо
го tell smb smth/smth to smb —
оставлять кому-либо что-либо/ показывать кому-либо что-либо /
рассказывать кому-либо что-либо/
что-либо кому-либо
Рассмотрим предложение в действительном залоге:
The teacher gave him a book.— Учитель дал ему книгу. В этом предложении два дополнения him и а book.
290 Grammor Reference
him — косвенное дополнение, так как отвечает на вопрос кому? а book — прямое дополнение, так как отвечает на вопрос что?
Оба эти дополнения могут стать подлежащими предложений в страдательном залоге.
The Active Voice
The teacher gave him a book. дал ему книгу
Учитель
Му friend told те а funny story.— Друг рассказал мне смешную историю.
The Passive Voice
The book tvas given to him./He was given a book — Ему дали книгу.
A funny story was told to me. I was told a funny story.— Мне рассказали смешную историю
В страдательной конструкции с предложным дополнением предлог сохраняет свое место после глагола:
They sent for the doctor.— Они послали за доктором. (Active Voice)
The doctor was sent for.— 3a доктором послали. (Passive Voice)
Наиболее употребительные глаголы с предлогами: to send for smb/smth — посылать за кем-то/чем-то to object to smb/smth — возражать кому-то/чему-то to insist on smth — настаивать на чем то to refer to smb/smth — ссылаться на кого-то/что-то to laugh at smb/smth — смеяться над кем-то/чем-то to listen to smb/smth — слушать кого-то/что-то to wait for .smb / smth — ждать кого то/что-то
They often refer to this writer. He is very famous.— This writer is often referred to. Look! Everybody is laughing at Peter. He has made the same mistake again.— Peter is being laughed at.
Everybody is waiting for you! Don’t be late again! — You are being waited for. Mary insisted on this plan. I couldn’t disagree with her.— This plan was insisted on.
The Infinitive (Инфинитив)
Инфинитив представляет собой неличную форму глагола, которая только называет действие, не указывая ни лица, ни числа, ни наклонения. Инфинитив соответствует в русском языке неопределенной форме глагола: to play — играть, сыграть, to send — посылать, послать.
Формальным признаком инфинитива является частица to, которая не имеет самостоятельного значения:
Не likes to travel.— Он любит путешествовать.
Отрицательная форма инфинитива образуется с помощью частицы not, которая ставится перед ним:
‘То be, or not to be: that is the question.”— “Быть или не быть — вот в чем вопрос”.
Grommor Reference 291
функции инфинитива в предложении
В предложении инфинитив может выполнять следующие функции:
• подлежащего:
То sleep in the open air is very useful.— Спать на открытом воздухе очень полезно.
• части составного именного сказуемого:
His task was to help them.— Его задачей было помогать им.
• дополнения:
Не promised to come in time.— Он обещал приехать вовремя.
• обстоятельства для выражения цели:
She took а taxi to be on time.— Она взяла такси, чтобы не опоздать.
• обстоятельства для выражения следствия со словами too (слишком), enough (достаточно):
Your tea is too hot to drink now.— Ваш чай слишком горячий, чтобы пить его сейчас.
Vve known him long enough to trust him.— Я знаю его достаточно давно, чтобы доверять ему.
• определения:
В этой функции инфинитив всегда стоит после определяемого существительного:
Гт looking for а book to read.— Я ищу книгу, которую можно почитать.
Перевод предложений, содержащих инфинитив, на русский язык
Инфинитив в функции подлежащего, части составного сказуемого, дополнения, обстоятельства цели, следствия в большинстве случаев передается в русском языке существительным или инфинитивом:
То read is the best way to learn about the world.— Чтение — лучший способ узнавать об окружающем мире.
Оиг plan is to go to Spain.— Наш план — поехать (поездка) в Испанию. Не went to the shop to buy a present for his wife.— Он пошел в магазин, чтобы купить подарок для своей жены.
Однако инфинитив в функции определения чаще переводится определительным придаточным предложением с глаголом долженствования, а также прилагательным, причастием, существительным или личной формой глагола (в зависимости от контекста):
She's got а small flat to sell.— У нее есть маленькая квартира, которую нужно продать.
I’m going to the party. Can you recommend a dress to wear? — Я иду на вечеринку. Ты можешь порекомендовать мне платье, которое можно надеть? I’ve got а lot of work to do.— У меня много работы, которую надо сделать. This stone is hard to find.— Этот камень трудно найти.
292 Grammar Reference
Инфинитивный оборот Сложное дополнение/Complex Object
Инфинитив в сочетании с существительным или местоимением в объектном падеже образует инфинитивный оборот — сложное дополнение.
Сложное дополнение состоит из существительного в именительном падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже, за которыми следует инфинитив; His mother wants Peter to help her in the garden.— Мама хочет, чтобы Питер помог ей в саду. (Сложное дополнение состоит из существительного Peter и инфинитива to help.)
His mother wants him to help her in the garden.— Мама хочет, чтобы он помог ей в саду. (Сложное дополнение состоит из местоимения him и инфинитива to help.)
На русский язык сложное дополнение переводится придаточными изъяснительными предложениями, которые вводятся союзами что, чтобы, как. При этом местоимение в объектном падеже переводится на русский язык местоимением в именительном падеже;
Jack didn't want them to know the truth.—Джек не хотел, чтобы они узнали правду.
I would like him to translate this text by himself.— Я хотел бы, чтобы он перевел этот текст сам.
• Сложное дополнение употребляется:
• после глаголов, выражающих желание;
to want; I want you to learn English.— Я хочу, чтобы ты изучал английский, to expect; I expect her to come on time.— Я ожидаю (надеюсь), что она придет вовремя.
to like в сочетании с would; Не would like us to read this book.— Он хотел бы, чтобы мы прочитали эту книгу.
• после глаголов чувства и восприятия;
to hear; Mother heard her son get up.— Мама услышала, как ее сын встал с кровати.
to see; We all saw you leave.— Мы все видели, что ты уехала, to watch; Friends watched their train arrive at the station.— Друзья наблюдали, как их поезд прибывает на станцию.
to feel; Ann felt something touch her leg.— Анна почувствовала, что что-то коснулось ее ноги.
Обратите внимание на то, что после этих глаголов инфинитив употребляется без частицы to.
Инфинитив также употребляется без частицы to после глаголов to make (заставлять) и to let (позволять);
She makes her son clean his room every day.— Она заставляет сына убирать комнату каждый день.
Don't let your daughter come home late.— He позволяйте Вашей дочери приходить домой поздно.
Grommor Reference 293
294
Однако если глагол таке стоит в страдательном залоге, то инфинитив употребляется с частицей to:
Helen iva5 crying because she »vo5 made to come back.— Хелен плакала, потому что ее заставили вернуться.
Инфинитивный оборот Сложное подлежащее (Complex Subject)
Этот оборот выступает в роли сложного подлежащего и состоит из существительного или личного местоимения в именительном падеже и инфинитива: Richard seems to know this girl.— Кажется, Ричард знает эту девушку.
Оборот сложное подлежащее употребляется:
• когда сказуемое выражено следующими глаголами в страдательном залоге: to know — знать, полагать
to report — сообщать to say — говорить, полагать to suppose — предполагать to believe — полагать, считать to think — полагать, думать
Му friend is supposed to finish this work tomorrow.— Предполагается, что мой друг закончит эту работу завтра.
The River Thames is known to divide London into two parts.— Известно, что река Темза делит Лондон на две части.
• когда сказуемое выражено следующими глаголами в активном залоге: to seem — казаться
to prove — оказываться to happen — случаться
He seems to know English well.— Кажется, он хорошо знает английский язык. Не happened to be there.— Случилось так, что он там был.
• когда сказуемое выражено следующими оборотами: to be likely — вероятно, похоже
to be unlikely — непохоже, маловероятно
to be certain — несомненно
to be sure — наверняка, несомненно
She is likely to forget you as soon as you leave.— Вероятно, она забудет вас, как только вы уйдете.
They are sure to return soon.— Они, несомненно, скоро вернутся.
• На русский язык оборот сложное подлежащее переводится:
• сложноподчиненным предложением, в котором главное предложение представляет собой неопределенно-личное или безличное предложение (Полагают,...; Сообщают,...; Говорят,...; Известно,...; Считают,...; Думают,...; Оказывается,...; Случилось,...; Вероятно,...; Похоже,...; Непохоже,...; Маловероятно,...), а придаточное предложение вводится союзом что: Не is unlikely to fix his car by tomorrow.— Маловероятно, что он починит свою машину к завтрашнему дню.
Grommor Reference
Jane is said to be the best dancer m her class.— Говорят, что Джейн танцует лучше всех в своем классе.
простым предложением с неопределенно-личным оборотом в роли вводного предложения (..., несомненно, .... наверняка, ...вероятно...; ..., кажется, ...):
They are sure to know you.— Они, наверняка, знают Вас.
Kate seems to agree with you.— Кейт, кажется, согласна с Вами.

Формы времени инфинитива обычно выражают действие, одновре.менное или предшествующее по отношению к действию, выраженному глаголом в личной форме.
Формы инфинитива Simple и Progressive выражают действие, одновременное с действием, выраженным глаголом в личной форме, причем форма Progressive выражает длительное действие:
Не asked те to phone him in the morning, (to phone — the Simple Infinitive Active) — Oh попросил меня позвонить ему утром.
She seems to be sleeping now. (to be sleeping — the Progressive Infinitive Active) — Кажется, она сейчас спит.
Формы Perfect и Perfect Progressive показывают, что действие, выраженное этими формами, предшествует действию, выраженному глаголом в личной форме:
Гт happy to have met him. (to have met — the Perfect Infinitive Active) —
Я рад, что встретил его.
She looks upset. She seems to have been talking to her father, (to have been talking — the Perfect Progressive Infinitive Active) — Она выглядит расстроенной. Кажется, она разговаривала с отцом.
Формы залога
Когда действие, выраженное инфинитивом, совершается лицом или предметом, то употребляется инфинитив в форме Active:
I want to buy this car. (to buy — the Simple Infinitive Active) — Я хочу купить эту машину.
Grammar Reference 295
Когда действие, выраженное инфинитивом, совершается над лицом или предметом, то употребляется инфинитив в форме Passive:
She was happy to be taught French, (to be taught — the Simple Infinitive Passive) — Она была счастлива, что ее обучают французскому языку. Kate was sad to have been told a he. (to have been told the Perfect Infinitive Passive) — Кейт было грустно, что ей сказали неправду.
Эмфатические конструкции
Когда нужно выделить какой-нибудь член предложения, используются обороты: It is... that/It was... that, It is... who/It was... who.
В этих оборотах используется член предложения, на котором делается акцент. Например, если в предложении Аня пригласила его друзей в дом, надо выделить, что именно Аня, а никто другой, пригласила его друзей в дом, то подлежащее Аня ставится между It was и who.
It was Ann who invited his friends to the house.— Именно Аня пригласила его друзей в дом.
It was in the park that we met yesterday.— Именно в парке мы встретились вчера.
It is her brothers who support her.— Именно братья поддерживают ее.
The Conjunction (Союз)
По своей функции в речи союзы делятся на сочинительные и подчинительные.
так же, как (и)
- и... и, как..., так и
Сочинительные союзы
and — и, а as well as -both... and but — HO, a
either... or — или... или neither... nor — ни... ни
Обратите внимание, в каком числе употребляется основной глагол в предложениях с союзами both... and и neither... nor.
• both... and используется для соединения подлежащих двух утвердительных предложений. В таких предложениях глагол употребляется во множественном числе:
Both his mother and his father are good swimmers.— И его мама, и его папа хорошие пловцы.
• neither... nor используется для соединения подлежащих двух предложений в одном предложении с отрицательным значением. В таком предложении глагол всегда употребляется в утвердительной форме и согласуется в числе со вторым подлежащим:
Neither ту sister nor ту brother likes milk.— Ни моя сестра, ни мой брат не любят молоко.
296 Grammar Reference
Для соединения независимых предложений служат также наречия: moreover — кроме того, сверх того therefore — поэтому 50 — так что, итак however — однако nevertheless — тем не менее
Подчинительные союзы

При ложение 1. Словообразование
Слова могут быть образованы с помощью префиксов и суффиксов. Префиксы изменяют значение слова, но не меняют его принадлежности к той или иной части речи, например: national, adj (национальный) — international, adj (международный)
happy — logical -possible to agree correct -to understand
Префиксы c отрицательным значением:
■jn- ri- il im-, ir-, dis-, mis-
unhappy (счастливый — несчастливый) illogical (логичный — нелогичный)
- impossible (возможный — невозможный)
- to disagree (согласиться — не согласиться) incorrect (правильный — неправильный)
to misunderstand (понимать — не понимать) — irregular (неправильный)
regular (правильный) —
Суффиксы служат для образования различных частей речи. Использование того или иного суффикса или префикса не всегда подчиняется определенным правилам и чаще зависит от установившегося словоупотребления в языке, например:
to govern (управлять) —governor (правитель) —government (правительство).
Суффиксы существительных
