4. Translate the sentences from English into Russian:
the fact is that
The fact is that speech and singing are different manifestation of something which is basically the same.
To be taken for granted
It not infrequently happens that the pronunciation of the so-called “easier” sounds is taken for granted.
To be kept apart
The interesting thing about these two kinds of vocal activities is that they are usually kept apart.
Set so much store
Why should we set so much store by the basic similarity of speech and singing?
To acquire a distorted picture
As some sounds are considered to be “easier” for Russian learners and their pronunciation is taken for granted we acquire a distorted picture of the actual state of affairs.
It not infrequently happens
It not infrequently happens that the non-professional speaker or singer regards speaking and singing as two different activities and never associates them.
It is generally assumed
It is generally assumed that people can be taught much more effectively if the more difficult points in the pronunciation of English are not only spoken but also sung.
5. Write the translation of the sentences:
Интересным в отношении этих двух видов голосовой деятельности является то, что они обычно отграничиваются.
Систематический курс по фонетике является неотъемлемым основанием всех лингвистических исследований.
Прежде всего, мы бы хотели немного остановиться на некоторых новых тенденциях в обучении английской фонетике.
Английскому можно обучать намного более эффективно, если наиболее сложные моменты в английском произношении не только проговаривать, но и пропевать.
Само собой разумеется, что нельзя выучить иностранный язык, если не обращать особого внимания на такие особенности произношения, свойственные данному языку, которые зачастую упускаются из виду.
C. Focus on Grammar.
Analyze the sentences and supply the appropriate Russian translation:
It is by doing this that we distinguish between the different vowel sounds.
But this brief summary of the state of the art would not be complete if we did not explain some of the newer trends in the study of phonetics.
We have all heard people both speak and sing.
D. Write the Summary.
