Амахина С.А., Беляева О.И. Английский язык. Текстовые задания по развитию словарного запаса: Учебное пособие. Часть I. (Useful words and facts): Учебное пособие. СПб.: Изд-во Политехн. ун-та, 2006. 20 с.

В данной работе содержатся ответы ко второй части учебного пособия Амахиной С.А. и Беляевой О.И. “Английский язык. Текстовые задания по развитию словарного запаса. Часть II. (Useful words and facts)”.

Авторы намеренно выбрали подачу материала, содержащего ключи к заданиям вышеупомянутого пособия, в виде отдельного печатного издания, так как, по их мнению, отсутствие подсказки в виде ключей в самом учебном пособии должно способствовать у учащихся выработке умений решать основные задачи самостоятельно, а также научить их пользоваться различными видами словарей и другой справочной литературой.

Печатается по разрешению редакционно-издательского совета Санкт-Петербургского государственного политехнического университета.
