Bookcrossing is a well-known world practice of leaving books in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then leave the book again. It is a bright example of reading promotion.

Other interesting promotional campaign is the ―Biblionight‖. The aim of this annual event is to make reading a way of life in Russia. At this night all libraries, museums, galleries and bookshops open their doors for visitors. Libraries conduct master-classes, literary quests and meetings with writers.

To create book clubs all over Russia is another initiative. These clubs will gather readers and organize meetings or videoconferences with well-known writers and publishers. The initiators of this idea also want to promote reading by covering walls of metro, trains and buses with excerpts from literary works, authors‘ biographies and illustrations.

Grammar:

Sequence of Tenses (Согласование времен)

Согласование времен – это зависимость времени глагола в придаточном предложении от времени глагола в главном.

Если глагол-сказуемое главного предложения стоит в одном из настоящих, то глагол-сказуемое в придаточном предложении может стоять в любом времени в зависимости от смысла.

Настоящее время в главном предложении:

Ex: He says that I remind him of his ex. – Он говорит, что я на-

поминаю ему его "бывшую".

Основное правило согласования времен

Если глагол-сказуемое главного предложения стоит в одном из прошедших времен, то глагол в придаточном предложении употребляется только в одной из форм прошедшего или будущего в прошедшем времени. Времена Future in the Past образуются с помощью вспомогательного глагола “would”.

Прошедшее:

Ex: I thought she had been home yesterday. – Я думал, что вче-

ра она была дома.

Будущее в прошедшем:

Ex: George said he would come tomorrow. – Джордж сказал, что придет завтра.

Если действие в придаточном предложении происходит одновременно с действием в главном предложении, то нужно исполь-

зовать Past Simple или Past Continuous:

Ex: They told us, ―We are going to the library.‖ Они сказали нам: «Мы идем в библиотеку».

They told us they were going to the library. Они сказали нам, что идут в библиотеку.

175

Если действие в придаточном предложении предшествует действию в главном предложении, то глагол в придаточном ис-

пользуется в Past Perfect или Past Perfect Continuous:

Ex: We were told, ―It was raining a lot.‖ Нам сказали: «Было много дождей».

We were told that it had been raining a lot. Нам сказали, что было много дождей.

Если действие в придаточном предложении следует после действия в главном, то нужно использовать одно из времен

Future-in the-Past:

Ex: She said: ―I will try to get the highest mark on the exam.‖ Она сказала: «Я постараюсь заработать на экзамене лучшую оценку».

She said she would try to get the highest mark on the exam. Она сказала, что постарается заработать на экзамене лучшую оценку.

Указательные местоимения и наречия места и времени

также претерпевают изменения в косвенной речи:

this – that = этот – тот these – those = эти – те here – there = здесь – там now – then = сейчас – тогда

yesterday – the day before = вчера – за день до того today – that day = сегодня – в (э)тот день

tomorrow – the next (following) day = завтра – на следующий день

ago – before = тому назад – до этого (до того)

last week / year – the previous week /year = прошлый год (не-

деля) – предыдущий год (неделя)

next week / year – the following week / year – здесь перевод на русский не меняется = следующий год (неделя)

Ex: One year ago Mike visited his friends in Russia. – Год назад Майк гостил у своих друзей в России.

Mike said that a year before he had visited his friends in Russia. –

Майк сказал, что годом раньше он гостил у своих друзей в России.
