В практике преподавания иностранных языков, в частности английского, подлежащая усвоению лексика группируется по тематическому принципу. Но существуют темы, которые обычно не выделяются в качестве самостоятельных. Это темы, связанные с поведением человека, эмоциональной стороной его жизни, его мыслительной деятельностью. В ходе обучения лексика такого типа обычно никак не обобщается и не систематизируется.
В данном пособии представлены выражения-клише диалогического характера, необходимые для беседы на повседневные темы.
Цель пособия — помочь учащимся повторить и систематизировать встречавшиеся ранее речевые штампы, а также выработать автоматизм в их употреблении.
Каждый раздел пособия состоит из словаря с переводом и упражнений.
Вся отобранная лексика является принадлежностью свободного разговорного стиля.
Основу большинства упражнений составляет набор реплик, на которые собеседник должен отреагировать кратко и по принятой форме.
В разделе Get It Right даются пояснения по использованию некоторых английских слов с целью предупреждения типичных ошибок, вызванных влиянием родного языка учащихся.

Get it right Thank You
Thank you is used alone (or simply with very much or so much) mainly when the speaker has been given something, or when somebody has helped him in some way or addressed some good wish to him (for example, "Happy Birthday" or "Have a good holiday"). It is not enough in response to an offer, for example an offer of something to eat or drink. In this context "Thank you (very/so much)'" is ambiguous; it may be understood either as an acceptance or a refusal, depending on the tone of voice, although on the whole it is more likely to be taken for an acceptance (in contrast to the Russian “спасибо”). It is therefore better to use the responses "Yes, please" or "No, thank you” (with no pause after yes and no).
Thank you without no can naturally be used as one takes something or when one has already taken it, or, for example, when followed immediately by but...
For example:
Would you like a cup of tea?
Thank you, but I've just had one.
Thank you alone should also be avoided when replying to inquiries about health, for example, "How are you?" or "How's your mother keeping?" To reply simply "Thank you (very much) " in such cases will create an impression of mystery about the person's health, because it avoids answering the question. Custom requires that some sort of answer, usually general, be given, followed by "thank you" if the answer is favourable. The most usual forms are:
V
ery/Quite/Fairly
well'
All right, thank vou.
Not too/so bad,
Fine, thanks, (informal)
If the answer is unfavourable, "I’m afraid" (=unfortunately) is used instead: Not very/too well, I'm afraid.
I'm afraid she's got flu.
