МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ УКАЗАНИЯ ПО ВЫПОЛНЕНИЮ ПРАКТИЧЕСКИХ ЗАДАНИЙ ПО АНГЛИЙСКОМУ ЯЗЫКУ (1 КУРС) ПО СПЕЦИАЛЬНОСТИ 035700. 62 – «ЛИНГВИСТИКА»
Полная версия работы доступна во вкладке "Файлы работы" в формате PDF
В данном пособии предлагаются ключи ко всем лексико-грамматическим упражнениям учебника «Практический курс английского языка. I курс», кроме фонетических, лабораторных и творческих.
Одними из наиболее эффективных упражнений полупродуктивного типа являются упражнения на письменный перевод с русского языка на английский. Такие упражнения, как и многие другие в учебнике, можно предлагать студентам в качестве заданий для самостоятельной внеаудиторной работы, используя данное пособие для самоконтроля.
Предлагается следующая последовательность выполнения упражнений на перевод в рамках самостоятельной внеаудиторной работы с использованием ключей:
1) внимательное прочтение предложения в упражнении учебника,
2) устный перевод прочитанного предложения с русского языка на английский,
3) запись перевода в рабочую тетрадь или на элекиронный носитель,
4) сверка написанного предложения с ключом и его корректировка,
5) произведение самозаписи выполненного и откорректированного упражнения на магнитную ленту или электронный носитель,
6) проверка усвоения лексики и моделей ее сочетаемости посредством перевода с «листа» (учебника) и сверкой с записью, либо в тетради, либо на магнитной ленте, либо на электронном носителе,
7) заключительный взаимоконтроль посредством работы в парах в режиме «учитель – ученик».
Предлагаемая организация самостоятельной, внеаудиторной работы студентов способствует более прочному усвоению ими активного вокабуляра и высвобождению значительной части аудиторного времени для творческой работы на изучаемом иностранном языке.

Дети обожают пикники главным образом потому, что, как правило, на пикниках не бывает столов и, следовательно, никаких застольных манер, и потому что у них появляется блестящая возможность поесть того, чего им обычно есть нельзя. Поскольку ланчи на пикнике почти всегда одни и те же и, следовательно, не требуют большой фантазии, женщинам не приходится напрягаться, чтобы придумывать меню.
Многое, конечно, зависит от конкретного дня. Типичная погода для пикника бывает трех видов. Либо это сумеречная погода, обещающая временами ливни по утрам, с прояснениями после полудня; либо утром солнечно и жарко с грозовыми ливнями после обеда; либо постоянная изморось на протяжении всего дня. Но поскольку большая часть ланча заготовлена заранее, то ничего больше придумывать не надо. В конце концов, между тем, чтобы съесть ланч, заготовленный за день-два до этого, или промокнуть до нитки, большого выбора нет. Площадки для пикников обычно расположены на берегу водоема на какой-либо возвышенности. Последняя из этих характеристик весьма существенна, так как ни один пикник не считается удавшимся, если детям некуда упасть или не с чего свалиться. Также водоем, естественно, предполагает наличие у вас с собою рыболовных принадлежностей. Невозможно припомнить, чтобы кто-то когда-либо поймал хоть одну рыбку во время пикника, но рыбалка всегда служит отличной причиной для того, чтобы не вертеться под ногами, когда выполняется тяжелая работа.
Ланч – это самый главный признак пикника. Жареный цыпленок популярен всегда. Затем, как, правило, яйца в мешочек. И почти все остальное, что упаковано в жестянки и бумажные пакеты, сойдет для пикника. Эти упаковки очень важны, так как после поедания их содержимого, их разбрасывают вокруг и тем самым помечают место стоянки. Имбирное пиво тоже следует взять с собой именно затем, чтобы вспомнить, что вы забыли открывалку дома. Как бы то ни было, всегда найдется хоть один из присутствующих, кто знает, как открыть бутылку обломком камня.
Как только еда и всяческая утварь распакованы, на повестке дня – разведение костра. Собирание хвороста для костра обеспечивает занятие для людей, которые не знают, чем бы развлечься.
После того, как ланч съели, пикник идет на спад. Но всегда имеется возможность для кого-либо чуть не утонуть, или наступить на осиное гнездо, или вывихнуть лодыжку. Тем не менее, вы должны оставаться там далеко за полдень, иначе вы не почувствуете, что хорошо провели время. Чтобы усугубить ситуацию, кто-нибудь предложить спеть.
Пикники, чтобы против них ни говорили, имеют свои преимущества. По крайней мере, во многих сердцах они пробуждают мысль о правоте старой поговорки, что в гостях хорошо, а дома - лучше.
b)picnics are popular with, children are fond of, to have an excellent opportunity, require little imagination, not to have to trouble about, much depends on, typical picnic weather, threatening with occasional showers, a steady drizzle, getting a soaking, picnic grounds, situated on a body of water, taking fishing tackles along, an excellent excuse, for getting out of the way, the most important feature of the picnic, to open a bottle on, collecting wood, getting drowned, running into a hornets’ nest, twisting an ankle, have a good time, to make matters worse, have their advantages, there is no place like home.
Ex. XXXII, p. 248В то утро, когда мы покидали Ливерпуль, погода была замечательная, и мы собирались хорошо провести время. Капитан сказал нам, что будет тепло и спокойно всю дорогу до Нью-Йорка. Я все еще помню некоторых пассажиров. Была одна пожилая дама, которая собиралась навестить сына в Бостоне. Потом еще был человек, который собирался начать новую жизнь в Канаде. Оба они пошли ко дну вместе с кораблем. Первый и второй день были очень хорошими. Я подумал, что скоро у меня будет прекрасный солнечный загар. Затем, вечером второго дня капитан сказал нам, что погода будет немного хуже, чем ожидалось, но это долго не продлится.
На третий день погода оказалась очень ненастной. Никто из нас не имел ни малейшего представления, насколько плохой она может обернуться. К наступлению вечера погода стала в самом деле ужасной.
На четвертый день все оставались в своих каютах. Шторм, разыгравшийся к тому времени, невозможно было описать. Вдруг я почувствовал толчок.

Ex. XXI, p. 316
В четверг две библиотекарши Памела Крим и Виоллетта Мид должны были работать в библиотеке Бенгама до девяти часов вечера. Девушки были не прочь поработать до поздна: в их маленьком городке почти не было развлечений для двух незамужних молодых особ. Вот почему когда инспектор местной полиции Эллис предложил давать уроки дзюдо всем, кто хотел этим заняться, Памела записалась первой. Она начала изучать дзюдо точно так, как делала все остальные дела: старательно и с огромным интересом. Она всегда старалась изо всех сил, чтобы достичь результата. Она была маленького роста, но в дзюдо это не имеет значения. Она была здоровой, сильной и храброй. Нельзя сказать, что она была красавицей, но на нее приятно было смотреть, и не удивительно, что инспектор Тимоти Эллис влюбился в свою лучшую ученицу. Вскоре они собирались пожениться.
В тот вечер Тим должен был зайти за ней в девять часов, чтобы пообедать с ней в ресторане. Уже было половина девятого и Памела разносила книги по полкам, в то время, как Виолетта обслуживала оставшихся читателей.
Когда Памела проходила мимо окон около запасной двери, она заметила, что шторка была поднята. Она попыталась опустить ее, но та постоянно откатывалась наверх и при этом сильно шумела. Наконец, Памеле каким-то образом удалось ее закрепить внизу и она пошла к следующему проходу. К своему величайшему изумлению она увидела там двух мужчин. "Извините, господа, – сказала она, – но читателям не разрешается находится в этой части библиотеки. "Извините, мисс, – сказал тот, кто был меньше ростом и с уродливым лицом и удивлен не меньше, чем Памела, – "мы этого не знали". Другой мужчина, гораздо крупнее первого, стоял спиной к Памеле, прислонившись к полкам. Первый сказал: "Боюсь, что мой друг чувствует себя довольно плохо. Ему нужно немного свежего воздуха. Не могли бы вы помочь мне вывести его на улицу, Мисс?" "Сочувствую, – сказала Памела и обхватила рукой увальня, котрый был очень тяжелым. Тот мужчина, которй был поменьше, взял своего друга за другую руку, и все трое двинулись к запасной двери. Вдруг Памела в ужасе остановилась. Она заметила кровь на пиджаке мужчины. Посмотрев на него пристальнее, она увидела, что тот мертв. Она моментально все поняла. "Вы … убили его … здесь, в нашей библиотеке!" "Разве ты не отчаянно привлекательная дамочка?" – сердито прошипел коротыш, – давай, помогай мне и не привлекай внимание, а то с тобой буде то же, что и с Блэки." Памела притихла. Они были уже перед окном, когда внезапно Памелу осенило. Тот новый прием, которому научил ее Том, может быть он сработает! Она не должна упустить этот шанс. Убийца был очень опасен и еще один труп, которым вполне могла стать она, не лишит его сна. Ох, если бы только прием сработал!
Ее рука коснулась оконной шторки и она с громким шумом полетела наверх. Мужчина, сильно удивившись этому, уронил руку Блэки, и Памела отпустила другую его руку. Тяжелое тело упало на пол. Убийца выхватил нож и бросился на Памелу, которая была готова к его нападению.
Когда из библиотеки испуганные люди прибежали к запасному выходу, они увидели двух лежащих на полу мужчин и побледневшую Памелу над потерявшим сознание убийцей…

Дафни (поднимая трубку): Привет! Это ты, Джеймс?

Р: Послушай, Дафни, это Роберт, а не Джеймс.
Д: О, это ты, Роберт. Извини. Я ждала звонка от кое-кого еще.
Р: Я пытаюсь дозвониться до тебя с двух часов.
Д: Неужели? Меня не было дома. Я пришла только полчаса назад.
Р: Где ты была?
Д: Я играла в теннис в клубе.
Р: Ты же говорила, что не собираешься играть в теннис сегодня.
Д: Да, я знаю. Но Мэдж попросила меня пойти и составить компанию четверке.
Р: Ну, это уж слишком!

Р: В чем дело, Дафни? Ты, кажется, избегаешь меня в последнее время?
Д: Избегаю тебя? Ну, конечно же, я тебя не избегаю. Мы вместе выходили в свет в среду, не так ли?
Р: Да, но это было три дня назад, Дафни. Мне очень хочется увидеть тебя. Пойдем сегодня куда-нибудь?
Д: Нет, только не сегодня, Роберт. Я чувствую себя немного усталой.
Р: Не могли бы мы выйти хотя бы на час? Я целый день с нетерпением жду встречи с тобой.
Д: Понятно, что ты не играл в теннис весь день, а то…
Р: Жаль, что не играл. Я помогал старику в саду.
Д: В таком случае ты, должно быть, тоже устал.
Р: Послушай, дорогая! Ты мне не лжешь? Или ты собираешься отдыхать с Джеймсом, или как его там?
Д: Конечно, нет. Он…
Р: Ты идешь с ним куда-то сегодня вечером, не так ли?
Д: Нет. Я сказала тебе. Я никуда не хочу идти сегодня вечером.

Once two merchants who were travelling in the desert by night lost one of their camels. The camel was loaded with corn, honey and a bag of gold.
An old man, who had spent all his life in the desert, noticed the merchants and said: “I see you have lost a camel.”
“Yes, we have”, they answered.
“Isn’t he blind in his right eye, and lame in his left leg?”
“He is”, answered the merchants.
“And isn’t he loaded with money on one side and with corn on the other?”
“He certainly is!” exclaimed the merchants. “And as you have seen him so lately we hope you will show us where he is now”.
“My friends”, said the old man, “I have never seen your camel.”
“But where is the bag of gold?” said the merchants and they took the man before the judge.
The old man with great calmness addressed the judge: “My life in the desert has taught me to notice things. So when I crossed the footprints of a camel I knew at once that he had run away from his owner, for I saw no other footprints in the sand. I knew that the animal was blind in one eye because he bit the grass only on one side of his path. I can tell from the footprints that he was lame. There were a great number of flies and some grains of wheat near the place where he lay down, so it was clear to me that his load consisted of corn and honey.”
The judge let the old man go and said to the merchants: “This is the man who has helped you to find your camel.”
