Загальні вказівки

Дані методичні вказівки призначені для студентів 1 курсу тех­нічних вузів, які продовжують вивчення англійської мови у вузі. Вони можуть бути використані на практичних занят­тях та під час самостійної роботи студентів. Методичні вказівки написані згідно чинної програми з англійської мови для немовних спеціальностей вищих учбових закладів і відбивають задачу навчання іноземним мовам у вузі, кінце­вою метою якої є участь в усному спілкуванні англійською мовою в обсязі матеріалу, передбаченого програмою та формування навичок та вмінь усної професійної мови. Методичні вказівки включають такі теми як: “About Myself”, “My Student’s Life”, “Our Academy”, “Ukraine” та “Kharkiv”.

Тексти та вправи методичних вказівок включають лек­сику та граматичні структури для активного засвоювання, які підібрані з врахуванням словникового та граматичного мінімуму підручників та учбових посібників з мовної прак­тики для немовних вузів.

Вивчення кожної теми починається з прослухування тексту та слів і словосполучень до нього. Потім студенти у парах чи індивідуально працюють над текстом, читають, перекладають його, відповідають на запитання до нього, самі задають запитання до тексту, намагаються скласти свою, аналогічну тексту, розповідь.

До кожного тематичного розділу входять діалог чи до­датковий текст з заданої тематики. Форма діалогу ближче всього до тієї форми мовного спілкування, яку студент, ко­ристуючись рідною мовою, як правило, вживає під час роз­мови.

До непідготовленого мовлення не слід переходити, якщо до цього не було проведено достатньо ємної, ретельної та активної тренувальної роботи. Студенти не можуть подолати психологічний бар’єр страху розмовляти англійського мовою, якщо вони багаторазово не повторюють слова та словосполучення характерні для усної мови. Ще важче організувати розмову між студентами, примусити їх розмовляти між собою англійською мовою. Щоб підвести студентів до спілкування англійською мовою, треба частіше використовувати бесіду в парах.

Парна робота забезпечує високий коефіцієнт корисної дії на практичних заняттях та при самостійній роботі, так як вона підвищує тривалість мовних тренувань і надає широку можливість використати діалогічну форму мови. На матеріалі методичних вказівок можна проводити багато видів парної роботи. Розглянемо деякі з них.

  1. Студент А читає текст, студент Б перекладає його рідною мовою. Текст треба читати так, щоб складалося враження спонтанної розмови з відповідною інтонацією. Студент, виконуючий роль перекладача, повинен робити переклад у відносно швидкому темпі. Потім студент А знову перекладає це речення англійською мовою. Далі студенти міняються ролями.

  2. Опитування лексики. Студент А, маючи перед очима слова, запитує студента Б. Останній відповідає без зорової опори. Далі студенти міняються ролями.

  3. Парна робота у вигляді запитань та відповідей на матеріалі заздалегідь підібраного тексту. Такий вид роботи готує студентів до переказу тексту.

З лексикою студенти можуть працювати самостійно, індивідуально та у парах, виконуючи такі завдання:

  1. Читайте слова за диктором.

  2. Прочитайте англійські слова та дайте англійські еквіваленти українських слів та словосполучень.

  3. Закрийте листком паперу ліву колонку і дайте англійські еквіваленти українських слів та словосполучень і навпаки.

  4. Читайте англійські слова ще раз. Ваш партнер Вас уважно слухає, виправляє помилки. Поміняйтесь ролями.

  5. Запитуйте значення англійських, українських слів. Ваш товариш відповідає без зорової опори. Поміняйтесь ролями.

Крім слів, які даються після тексту, студенти можуть зустріти інші незнайомі слова залежно від рівня їх підготовки. Оволодіти ними слід обов’язково. При засвоюванні слова з метою його упізнавання і розуміння в тексті на сприйняття на слух, а також репродукування перед студентом постають такі задачі:

  1. Він повинен настільки добре і надовго засвоїти звуковий склад слова, щоб зуміти пізнати його в усній мові та, у разі потреби, вірно репродукувати дане слово.

  2. Він повинен настільки добре засвоїти графічну форму слова, щоб зуміти пізнати його в тексті серед багатьох інших слів.

  3. Він повинен настільки добре знати англійське слово, щоб мати змогу встановити зв'язок між його звуковою та графічною стороною і словом рідної мови.

  4. Він повинен також міцно засвоїти сполучення даного слова з іншими словами.

Якої ж, приблизно, послідовності при роботі над текстом повинні дотримуватися студенти?

При підготовці тексту студенти спочатку слухають його, а потім до першого його читання повинні повторювати нові слова до тих пір, поки не відчують, що вимовляють їх жваво і без будь-якої напруги. Після того як студенти вивчили слова, вони читають текст ще раз, ставлять запитання, відповідають на них і приступають до його переказу. Під час переказу можна користуватися списком слів або вправами з ключовими словами. Не варто бентежитись, якщо переказ зразу не виходить. Треба перечитати текст ще раз і наступні спроби, безумовно, будуть вдалими.

Підбір та організація учбового матеріалу дозволяють повністю перевести методичні вказівки на фонограму, що полегшить самостійну роботу студентів над посібником, до того ж необхідно враховувати те, що розділ не є учбовою одиницею. Зовсім не обов’язково (а іноді й неможливо) засвоювати розділ за одне заняття. Студент сам, залежно від своєї підготовки і часу, може виділити собі обсяг матеріалу, який вивчається на кожному занятті.

На 1 курсі студенти повинні навчитися перекачувати зміст теми у межах 20 фраз за 5 хвилин. На 1 курсі треба навчитися розуміти на слух іноземну мову, яка промовляється незнайомим голосом зі швидкістю 120 слів за хвилину.

Text 1 my biography

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Hello, friends. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Tatiana or Tanya for my friends. My surname or last name is Lavrova. I was born on the 19th of October 1987 in Kharkiv. Now I am a first-year student at the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogic Academy. In five years I'll be an engineer.

Now let me describe my appearance. I am tall and slim and have fair hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I think I am just good-looking. I love sports and music. I love to listen to modern music and dance. I dance a lot and I hope I am good at it. I also love swimming.

Now a few words about my family. There are five people in our family. My father's name is Yevgeny Yakovlevich. He is a mathematician by education and businessman by profession. My mother's name is Nadezhda Petrovna. She is a housewife. She has much work about the house because I have a younger sister. She is a pupil. My sister Natasha is in the fifth form. My grandmother lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.

In May I have finished school. I did well in all the subjects but my favourite subjects at school were Physics and Computer Science. I also enjoyed English lessons. I am very interested in learning English because I always wanted to become a programmer or maybe a businesswoman. I also think that the knowledge of foreign languages helps in everyday life and career.

Two years ago my parents and I travelled much around Europe as tourists. We have visited France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. There the knowledge of English helped me a lot.

As you see, my biography isn't very long yet. But we'll meet again and I'll tell you more about myself. See you later...

The student’s life

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Hi again... As you already know, I am a first-year student of the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogic Academy.

Now, let me describe my usual working day. My classes begin at eight o'clock. So on weekdays I have to get up at half past six. My alarm clock usually wakes me up and my working day begins. I turn on the radio, do my morning exercises, take a shower and brush my teeth. After that I get dressed and comb my hair. Then I have breakfast. I love to listen to the latest news on the radio while I am eating.

I leave the house at twenty minutes past seven and walk to the nearest bus stop. I live rather far from the Academy and it usually takes me about a quarter of an hour to get there by bus. Sometimes when the weather is fine and I have enough time I walk to the Academy.

As a rule we have three or four classes a day. We have lectures in different subjects. Usually I don't miss my classes because I want to pass my examinations successfully. But sometimes I do, especially when the weather is fine and the classes are boring.

At a quarter past one we have a big interval for lunch. That's my favourite time. That is the time to share the latest news with my friends. I prefer not to go to the canteen and we often have lunch in a small cafe not too far from the Academy. At a quarter to two we have to be back to our classes. During the working day we also have several short intervals that last for ten minutes.

From time to time I have to stay at the Academy till late in the evening because I go to the library to get ready for my practical classes or to write a report. As a rule I have no free time on weekdays. So, by the end of the week I get very tired.

I come home at about 7 o'clock in the evening. My parents are already at home. We have supper together. After supper we wash dishes, drink coffee or tea and watch TV. I prefer old comedies and serials or films about travelling. Sometimes I go for a walk in the park or visit my friends.

At about eleven at night I go to bed. I like to read something before going to bed or to listen to some music. Sometimes I fall asleep while I am reading.

Our academy Text 1

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

I’m a first–year student of the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy (UEPA). It is the only higher educational establishment in Ukraine that specializes in training teacher-engineers. It trains specialists who having a good engineering knowledge and deep psychological-pedagogical training, can work in vocational-technical schools, technical secondary schools, colleges, secondary schools, training and employment centres, as well as higher educational establishments and industrial enterprises.

UEPA’s graduates can work as:

  • teachers of general technical and specialized disciplines;

  • instructors of industrial training;

  • teachers for specialized classes at secondary school;

  • organizers, methodologists of vocational school;

  • engineers in different branches of science and technology.

Today 11 000 students study at the UEPA.

The Academy has 8 departments: power engineering; machine building; mechanical technological; radio electronics, electrical engineering and computer systems; social economical; technological; electrical technological (Artermovsk), and mining (Stakhanov).

The Academy has been set up on the basis of the Ukrainian Extra-Mural Polytechnical Institute (UZPI) that during 1958-1990 has been the leading educational establishment of the country in the field of training engineering personnel without discontinuing work. The gained academic and scientific methodological potential allowed the UZPI to be reorganized into the Kharkiv Engineering Pedagogics Institute in 1990 and into the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy of the 4th accreditation level in 1994.

Our Academy gives students a solid scientific background and prepares them for practical work. About 400 teachers provide students with a high level of training. Among them 40 professors and doctors of sciences, 240 senior lecturers and candidates of sciences. They all carry out research work in different fields of knowledge and supervise the research work of their students.

Full-time students study five years. After four years of study and successful examinations students can get their first degree Bachelor, if they go on with their studies they get the second degree, Specialist and then the third degree Master, which allows them to apply for a more qualified work.

Our Academy provides every opportunity for mastering the chosen profession. It has a large library with more than 1 mln books and periodicals, large classroom for lectures and seminars, well-equipped laboratories where students can do their lab works and make experiments. It also has a computering centre, 5 computer classes and Internet.

The Academy has a stadium and is famous for its Rugby team. Those who have various talents can engage in students’ societies, clubs, and amateur performances.

Out-of-town students live in hostels which become their homes for five years of study.

I will do my best to become a good specialist.

Text 2 distance education over the world

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Distance education over the world has a history of more than 100 years. But it gained popularity after 1970’s many countries like China, England, Japan, Russia, Spain and the USA use this method, especially in higher education. For example, the Open University in England has more than 80, 000 students who take about 140 courses per year. This university has 260 local teaching and 13 regional information centres.

Such factors as age, place, and daily activity do not serve as limiting factors in distance education. Distance education has two main advantages over traditional classroom education. The first advantage is a solution to the problem of teaching staff shortage and the second one is the low cost of education which gives many people an opportunity to receive higher education. It is a system of education for different people at any age. This education allows each student to have an individual scheme of study.

Exercise 2. Answer the following questions.

Text 1 ukraine

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Ukraine is one of the largest countries in Europe. It has its own territory, constitution, higher and local bodies of state power, its own government, national emblem, state flag and anthem.

Ukraine is situated in South Eastern Europe on the crossroads of the ways from Asia to Europe. This geographical position is very favourable for establishing contacts with other countries. There are 24 administrative regions and the Crimean autonomous republic in Ukraine.

It covers an area of about 603,700 square kilometers. By comparison, the areas of France and Spain are 551,600 and 507,600 square kilometers, respectively. The population of the country is about 48 million people.

In the North it borders on Belarus, in the East and North East on Russia, in the South West its neighbours are Hungary, Romania and Moldova, in the West-Poland and Slovakia. The Southern coast of Ukraine is washed by the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The Black Sea is a means of communication with many countries of the world through the Mediterranean Sea. The main rivers are the Desna, the Southern Buh, the Siversky Donets and the Tisza. They are one of the country’s sources of hydroelectric power. The Danube gives Ukraine access to seven European countries. The longest river is the Dnieper, flows to 2200 km into the Black Sea. It divides Ukraine into Right-bank and Left-bank territories.

Most of the territory is flat, so lowlands constitute a considerable part of the country: 95%. Basic physical-geographical zones are: mixed forest (Polissya), forest-steppe and steppe.

The Carpathian Mountains are in the West and the Crimean Mountains stretch to the South of the Crimean peninsula. The highest peaks are Hoverla in the Carpathians (2,061m) and Roman Kosh in the Crimean Mountains (1,545m).

The climate is mostly temperately-continental, mild and warm. But on the southern coast of the Crimea the climate is subtropical that contributes to the creation of one of the best resort areas in Ukraine.

Ukraine is also a farming country. Fertile black soils make it ideal for the development of agriculture. Ukraine produces large quantities of different products.

Ukraine occupies only 0, 45% of the planet’s dry land, but about 5% of the world’s mineral resources are concentrated here. There are large deposits of coal, manganese, peat, mercury, lignite, iron ore, oil, and gas. It is also rich in a variety of precious raw materials, such as phosphorus, graphite, native sulphur, apatite, rock salt etc.

Chief industries of Ukrainian economics are metallurgy, heavy engineering, iron and coal mining, manufacturing of agricultural machinery and chemicals, shipbuilding; food processing and textile industries are also highly developed.

The territory of Ukraine is criss-crossed by railroads and highways, oil and gas pipelines and high voltage transmission lines – all of which ensure close economic ties with Eastern and Western Europe. Now Ukraine is establishing new relations with countries throughout the world making direct contact with them and signing agreements and treaties.

Kiev is the capital of Ukraine. Its history goes back to remote past, it was founded in the 9-th century and nowadays it is a cultural, scientific, administrative and industrial centre. Not only inhabitants of Kiev but all citizens of Ukraine are proud of their capital.

According to the constitution of Ukraine the state power is divided into 3 branches: legislative, executive and judicial.

Ukraine may be proud of its outstanding people. There were a lot of them: hetmen, colonels, ordinary warriors, writers, painters, scientists.

Text 2 the ukrainian nation

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Modern archaeological evidence indicates that Ukrainians are original inhabitants of this land; their forefathers lived on this territory from the third or fourth millennia B.C.

The Ukrainians are mainly descended from those imported as slaves. Over a thousand years ago Slavic tribes - Polyans, Drevlyans, Siverians,- made their appearance on the historical arena. One of the most powerful states of medieval Europe-Kyivan Rus - was founded. Since that time Ukrainian people made their long way to independence. It was a gradual process that took thousand years. Nowadays the Ukrainians are actively seeking to re-establish their own roots and cultural identity. According to the Constitution of Ukraine (Article 10) the state language in Ukraine is Ukrainian. But there is no one Ukrainian language common to all people in this country. The national minorities have right to speak their own languages. The most wide-spread among them still remains Russian. It is the mother tongue for more than 30% (percent) of the population of Ukraine. The reason for these dates from the times when Ukraine was one of the 15 republics of the Soviet Union and Russian was the official language for it.

Exercise 2. Are the following sentences true or false?

  1. The Ukrainians are descended from slaves.

  2. The way to independence was a quick process.

  3. Russian remains the state language.

  4. Ukrainian language is not only common language to people in Ukraine.

  5. In the Soviet Union the official language was Russian.

  6. Ukrainian people don’t pay attention to re-establishing their own roots and cultural identity.

Text 3 kyiv – the capital of ukraine

Exercise 1. Read and translate the following texts.

The founding of the city

Like any other ancient city Kyiv was born on the bank of a river. It happened more than 2000 years ago. The beautiful old legend about the foundation of Kyiv tells about the three brothers - Kyi, Shchek and Khoriv and their sister Lybid, who sailing down the Dnieper saw the picturesque green banks and thought that this place would be perfect for a new city. They settled there and named the place Kyiv after the eldest brother. The new city started quickly to rise on the hills among the dark forests, full of wild animals, and rich meadows, which provided good pastures for the cattle. The river Dnieper was both the friend, as it gave food and water to its people and helped in the city's trade and development, and the enemy, as it flooded the city every year ruining houses, destroying crops and taking away people's lives.

Kyiv grew larger and larger; it attracted many people from ether cities, towns and villages. Rich people settled on the hills where the Princes' palaces were built, while common people lived in the lower part of the city, known as Podil, which later developed into a busy trading district. In the 9th century with the establishment of Kyivan Rus, Kyiv became its capital.

Historical sights

In the 10th century Prince Volodymyr the Great expanded the city, and his son Yaroslav the Wise ordered many beautiful churches to be built, including the famous St. Sofia's Cathedral (1037), a wonderful architectural monument which miraculously survived all the invasions and fires and still charms the citizens and the guests of the city with its unique beauty. The Cathedral was erected at the exact place of the victorious battle over the Pechenegs so that other generations would remember the deeds of their forefathers. It was act only a place of worship, it was also a place of learning and preserving the wisdom of the past, because it is there that the first school and library in Kyivan Rus was founded. At the same time the first monks settled in the caves on the steep left banks of the Dnieper, giving the beginning to another place of worship and amazing architectural beauty - Kyivo-Pecherska Lavra. It was an outstand­ing cultural centre of Kyivan Rus where many famous people lived and worked: the Chronicle writers Nestor, Nikon and Joan, the painters Alimpiy and Grigoriy, the doctors Agapyt and Damian. Several times the Lavra was burnt to ashes by numerous invaders but each time it was restored, and now we can admire the wonderful churches and cathedrals of this architectural gem.

Another famous place in Kyiv is the Golden Gates which were one of the entrances to the city in ancient times and were usually opened to welcome very important guests. Now it has been turned into an interesting museum where you can wander around and imagine yourself in medieval Kyiv.

Opposite St. Sofia's Cathedral there is an impressive monument to Bohdan Khmelnitsky, the 17th century outstanding Ukrainian statesman and military leader who played an important part in Ukrainian history. If you walk up Shevchenko Boulevard you will be amazed by the beauty of Volodymyr Cathedral, whose icons and frescoes were painted by the famous artists Victor Vasnetsov, Mykola Nesterov and Mykhaylo Vrybel. In Andreivskiy Spusk your attention will be attracted by Rasstrelli’s masterpiece - Andreyvska Church, and Mykhaylo Bulgakov’s readers will find his museum just round the corner from the church.

Where to go and what to see in Kyiv?

Khreshchatyk, the beautiful many-faced, brightly-lit main street of Kyiv, hasn't always been like this. Originally it was Khreschata Dolyna covered with forests and ravines. At the beginning of the 19th century the first wooden houses were built there, later stone buildings were erected. Practically all of them were ruined during the Great Patriotic War but later were restored by the Kyivites. The street leads to Independence Square, the main square of Kyiv which now together with Khreschatyk, is the favourite place for entertainment for the citizens and guests of the city.

Museum lovers will find hundreds of beautiful exhibits in the Museum of Ukrainian Fine Arts whose 21 galleries contain valuable collections of Ukrainian icons, pictures and sculptures from the 14th to the 20th century, including some works by Taras Shevchenko. His other paintings, manuscripts and personal belongings can be found in the Taras Shevchenko State Museum in Shevchenko Boulevard and in the museum in Kanev, his burial place. Another rich collection of pictures and sculptures can be seen in the Russian Arts Museum, which is the third largest after those of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Theatre-goers will never be bored in Kyiv as there are theatres to all tastes: the Taras Shevchenko National Opera and Ballet House with wonderful singers and dancers, the Ivan Franko Ukrainian Drama Theatre, the Lesya Ukrainka Russian Drama Theatre, the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, the Kyiv Philhar­monic Society, the Musical Drama Theatre and many others, all with wonderful highly-professional performers.

Kyiv has always been a very important scientific, educational and cultural centre. Among the best known higher educational establishments there are Shevchenko Kyiv National University, Kyiv Polytechnic University, International Independent University “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy”, Kyiv State Conservatory and many others. Kyiv is the home of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and hundreds of research institutes. It is also a huge industrial centre but the air in the capital does not seem to be very polluted due to the nearness of the river and plenty of greenery.

Wherever you go in Kyiv, you will see either a beautiful old building or a monument, a green park or an amazingly decorated church - it is so full of places of interest that it's difficult to name even half of them.

The present and the past live side by side in Kyiv, and both lovers of history and people who are interested in the contemporary life of the capital, will find something to their taste in the busy streets of Kyiv.

V. It’s the third longest river in Europe. It crosses into Ukraine from Belorus, and flows to 2200km through the broad and flat plain before reaching its outlet near the Southern city of Kherson. So I’ll have an opportunity to get acquainted with so many places in our country.
