Методические указания обсуждены и утверждены на заседании кафедры романо-германской филологии факультета филологии и журналистики Ростовского государственного университета.
Протокол № 9 от 29 апреля 1999
Составили: Н.С. Трифонова, канд. филол. наук, доцент, Л.А. Нехлюдова, ст. преподаватель.
Ответственный редактор: А.Н. Норанович, канд. филол. наук, доцент.
Настоящие методические указания отвечают основным целям обучения на 2 курсе и направлены на овладение, развитие и совершенствование профессиональных умений и навыков устной и письменной речи студентов в процессе их работы в аудитории под руководством преподавателя и самостоятельной работы.
Методические указания состоят из 11 разделов, приложения и списка использованной литературы. Первый раздел представлен медицинской терминологией, используемой в речи при посещении кабинета врача, описании различных болезней, их симптомов и методов лечения. Следующие десять разделов содержат упражнения, тексты, диалоги и аудио-материалы по данной теме.
Задания по устной речевой практике имеют целью закрепить полезный лексический материал с использованием коммуникативного подхода. Делается акцент на умение студентов понять и передать определенную информацию, используя необходимый лексический материал – стимулировать устную (монологическую и диалогическую) речь.
Система упражнений по письменной практике предусматривает самостоятельную отработку норм современного английского языка, подготовку студентов к написанию изложений и сочинений.
11-ый раздел указаний содержит ряд упражнений и заданий, основной целью которых является контроль знаний усвоенных студентами при изучении данной темы, а также список устных разговорных тем выносимых на экзамен по практике английского языка.
В приложении дается материал страноведческого характера, знакомящий студентов с системой здравоохранения в странах изучаемого языка (Великобритания, США).
1. Being ill
Ill - 1. Not in good health, not well. 2. Br.E. - hurt, suffering in the stated way from the effect of injury. Set expressions: to be ill, to feel ill, to fall ill.
Unwell - ill, esp. for a short time.
Set expressions: to be unwell, to feel unwell.
Sick - 1. Not well, ill; having a disease. 2. Upset in the stomach so that one wants to throw up what is in it; feeling nausea.
Set expressions: a sick man, to be sick, to feel sick.
USAGE: 1. In British English to be/feel sick is to vomit. It is therefore confusing to say “I was sick yesterday” meaning “I was ill”, but all right to use sick in this meaning before a noun: e.g. a sick child. 2. A sick person has a disease, not for example a wound or a broken leg, although one may be on sick leave or receive a sick pay for these reasons too.
