Чтобы понять научный английский, необходимо знать общие особенности повседневного английского.

Основные тенденции развития языка науки обусловлены взаимосвязью разных наук.
Такие естественнонаучные термины, как энергия, температура, мощность, являются частью обычного языка.
XII. Look through the text “Scientific English” again, divide it into logical parts and entitle each of them. Speak on each point of your plan.
XIII. Act out the dialogue. Say what kind of English students learn at the University.
Mrs. Natalie Kestel (teacher of English): Good morning. Let’s begin our first lesson of English at the University. First of all I’d like to ask you to say some words about the lessons of English at school.
Andrew (first year student): At school pupils begin to study English grammatical rules, use the most common constructions and general everyday expressions. They learn vocabulary which is universal and usual in ordinary speech.
Julia (Andrew’s group mate): Is there any difference between the lesson of English at school and University? Will the University students learn anything new?
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: Yes, of course. The English that the students learn is the language of science. The range of topics studied at higher educational institutions is concerned with the future profession of students.
Andrew: We are the students of the Faculty of Chemistry, so, shall we study chemistry in English?
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: Not exactly. We’ll learn everything necessary to understand scientific literature on chemistry. We should learn many chemical terms in English.
Julia: Is it so necessary for us?
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: Certainly. I’m sure that you are interested in new discoveries and modern investigations into chemistry. But do you know that they are mostly presented in English?
Andrew: Yes, because English is an international language. If you want to learn some new scientific information for classes you should refer to scientific journals or the Internet. All this information is available in English, as a rule.
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: That’s right.
Andrew: The language of science is difficult for understanding. Some chemical terms are clear – because they are international, but the grammar constructions are very specific.
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: All you need to be good at scientific English is some special knowledge and practice.
Julia: What special knowledge of scientific English do we need?
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: Generally speaking, you should remember that the language of science is formal: it is precise and impersonal. As for grammar, there is a lot of passive constructions and sentences beginning with impersonal pronoun it. Would you give an example with the impersonal pronoun it?
Andrew: “It is necessary to mention that …”, “It should be noted that …”
Julia: “It is necessary to take into consideration …”, “It is easy to make a conclusion that …”, “It is important to emphasize …” etc.
Mrs. Natalie Kestel: Thank you very much. I see that you are well informed. This helps to gain success at the lessons of English at the University.
