ВСТУП

Головна мета навчання іноземної мови полягає у формуванні комунікативної компетенції, базою для якої є комунікативні уміння, сформовані на основі мовних знань і навичок. Розвиток комунікативної компетенції залежить від соціокультурних і соціолінгвістичних знань, умінь і навичок, які забезпечують входження особистості в інший соціум і сприяють її соціалізації в новому для неї суспільстві.

Даний посібник призначений для проведення занять з англійської мови зі учнями з різним рівнем знань, умінь та навичок з предмета.

Основна мета курсу – збагатити словниковий запас (тематичний та активний), розширити межі його активації, навчити учнів спілкуватися, висловлювати і відстоювати власну думку, підтримувати розмову на пропоновані теми. Робота з матеріалом передбачає також оволодіння граматичним мінімумом, що є необхідною передумовою для повноцінного активного володіння іноземною мовою.

Основну увагу зосереджено на опануванні тематичним словником та активною лексикою. Система вправ розрахована як для очного так і для дистанційного навчання.

Курс складається із семи тем, які сприяють практичному оволодінню англійською мовою, засвоєнню основних правил граматики та необхідного вокабуляру, розвитку навичок читання, усного мовлення, аудіювання та оволодінню навичками перекладу.

В основі навчання лексики й граматики лежить принцип випереджаючого усного засвоєння мовленнєвих зразків через комунікативні завдання з подальшим аналізом та використанням цього матеріалу в мовній практиці.

Курс включає підготовку до вивчення іноземної мови, базуючись на навчальному та іншомовному досвіді, набутому в основній школі.

Посібник укладено згідно з програмних вимог навчального предмету «Іноземна мова».

I’m going to tell you about my family. I live with my little sister, mum, and dad. We live in London, although I grew up in Lancaster, a beautiful city in the North of England.

My dad’s name is Pierre. He’s from France, and he speaks English and French. When he was young, my mother went to France on a student exchange, and they met there. A few years later, my dad moved to England and married my mum. He works as a

French teacher. He’s very tall –much taller than my mum– and athletic. He’s got short blonde hair and blue eyes.

My mum’s name is Anna. She’s English. She’s quite short, and she’s got long curly brown hair and brown eyes. She works at a chemist’s opposite our home. She can speak French too!

My sister Julia is 18 years old, and she’s got the same color of hair and eyes as my father. She loves playing the piano and dancing. She’s very talented, and she would like to be a professional musician.

I’ve got short blonde hair like my dad, but brown eyes like my mom. We all love playing board games together on Friday evenings, and we always order pizza. Our favourite game is Monopoly. Oh, I almost forgot…we’ve also got a pet cat, Snowball.

It’s all white and has got a lot of fur. It likes sleeping on me.

Write back soon. Please, tell me about your family too.

Love, Jonathan.

Exercise 15. Writing about my family.

1. Plan your paragraphs

Before writing an essay, you should plan how to organize your ideas. For example, if you want to write about your family, you could use a paragraph for each member of your family. Then, you could think about the things that you want to say about each person. It’s a good idea to draw a diagram before writing your text.

2. Check the word order

When you are writing, check the word order in each sentence. Don’t forget to start your sentences with a subject + a verb, and then add other details that you want to include. The elements of an English sentence usually appear in this order:

subject + verb + object + how + where + when.

3. Plan your grammar

Your text should be rich in grammar and vocabulary. Make sure that you use different grammar items. After you write a sentence, you can try to say the same thing in different words. For example, imagine you write this: “I have a brother. His name is Albert. He is a mechanic.” These sentences are OK. But you can change them and say this: “My brother’s name is Albert. He is a mechanic.”

4. Check your grammar

When you write your text, make sure that your grammar is OK. Read each sentence two or three times and correct the mistakes. If you are not sure of a word or expression, don’t use it — or check how to write it correctly first.

READING

Exercise 3. Read the text and for questions 1 to 7 choose the correct answer.

What do you do with your free time?

I’m almost 19 years old, and I’ve finished my first year of university. I’m currently on holiday, and I have a lot of free time. Having free time is nice, but the problem is that when you are a student, you never have money. And when you have a lot of free time, but you don’t have much money, it can get boring.

Every morning I go to the gym, and I read in the afternoons. But I still have a lot of free time. Going to the gym takes me about two hours, including the road time and the post-gym shower. And I usually read for one hour. Another activity that I do is watch documentaries. I study history, and I like historical documentaries. I learn a lot from them. I watch documentaries for one and a half an hour four or five times a week.

But those activities are a small part of my day. When I’m not at the gym or reading, I get bored, and I often play video games for hours. I enjoy playing video games, but I don’t think it’s a productive activity. When I play for a long time, I feel bad. I’d like to find more productive activities to do, but it isn’t easy. I live in a small town, and there aren’t many things to do.

Do you have any suggestions? What do you do with your free time?

1. He ...

a) is working

c) is 18 years old

2. He ...

a) watches documentaries

b) goes to the gym

c) reads for two hours

5. He ...

a) teaches history

b) studies history at university

c) reads history books four or five times a week

6. He ...

a) does not enjoy playing video games

b) thinks video games are stupid

c) doesn't think playing video games is productive

7. He wants ...

a) to do more productive things in his free time

Shrőder has a collection of 14,502 packets of sugar. Many people like to collect things, but why? Psychologists and collectors have different opinions.

The psychologist Carl Jung believed that collecting is a part of our ancient human history. Thousands of years ago, humans collected nuts and berries. They kept them carefully and ate them when there was no food. The best collectors survived long cold winters or seasons without rain. Their genes passed to future generations. Nowadays, we still have a collecting instinct.

Historian Philipp Bloom has a different opinion. He thinks collectors want to make something that will remain after their death. By bringing many similar items together, the collector gains historical importance. Sometimes their collections become museums or libraries, for example, Henry Huntington, who founded a library in Los Angeles to house his collection of books.

Author Steve Roach thinks that people collect things to remember their childhood. Many children collect things, but few have enough money to buy the things they really want, and they lose interest. In later life, they remember their collections fondly. Now, they have enough money and opportunity to find special items, and they start collecting again. This way, they can relive and enjoy their childhood years.

Art collector, Werner Muensterberger, agrees that collecting is linked to childhood. But he believes we collect in order to feel safe and secure. While babies hold blankets or toys to feel safe when their mother isn’t there, adults collect things to stop feeling lonely or anxious.

Autograph collector Mark Baker agrees that collecting is emotional, but he doesn’t collect to reduce anxiety. “For me, it’s the excitement,” he says. “I love trying to get a famous person’s autograph. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I fail. Also, by collecting autographs, I feel connected to famous people. I don’t just watch them on television. I actually meet them.”

Exercise 13. Read the opinion about “Learning English”. Answer the questions.

Tim says: I studied English at school and I can say that it is a difficult language to learn. Sometimes it was hard for me to understand some grammar points, sometimes I was bad at pronouncing English words as you know the English sounds are different from the Ukrainian ones. But the knowledge of English is a must for any man who thinks he is well-educated. English is necessary if you want to use the Internet because 90 % materials are in English. It is the international language of science, business and tourism. If you know English, you can communicate with millions of people who speak different languages That’s why I think that studying a foreign language is very important. And some activities — singing, talking, reading — are fun!

2. Is your English good enough?

3. Is it easy to learn English at college?

LESSON 7

TIPS FOR LEARNING ENGLISH

SPEAKING

Exercise 1. Review the poster and discuss each way to learn English.

READING

Exercise 2. Read the text, choose titles for its parts.

How to learn English quickly: 10 tips

A_ Read everything you can get your hands on

B_ Actively take note of new vocabulary

C_ Talk with real live humans

D_ Subscribe to podcasts or YouTube channels (in English)

E_ Go abroad

F_ Use your friends

G_ Ask a lot of questions

H_ Take a lead from the stars

I_ Start with what you really need

J_ Don’t kick yourself while you’re down

1. Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed, cereal boxes: if it’s in English, read it. Why? Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary, as well as a fair amount you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as re-exposure to learn vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind. On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary arsenal, particularly in a language like English with so many words! However, don’t just read and move on – next, you’ve got to…

2. This tip is a classic one for good reason: it works! When learning, we often enjoy a new word of phrase so much that forgetting it seems impossible. But trust us, not everything sticks the first time. To fight this, get into the habit of carrying around a funky notebook or using a tool like Evernote. Whenever you hear or read a new word or expression, write it down in context: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning noted.

This saves you time as you won’t return to that word and ask yourself: “What did that word/expression mean again?”

3. What is a language for if not to communicate? Sure, we humans have become experts at communicating without opening our mouths – thanks WhatsApp! – but when push comes to shove, it’s true that speaking a language helps it stick in your head far better than only reading or writing it. Just think of how many times you’ve heard people say that they “understand, but can’t speak English.” A lot of would be English speakers have turned talking into a huge insurmountable barrier that only serves to psyche them out. Don’t be like that. Seek out native speakers for an informal language exchange, enroll in a course, or take classes online.

4. Like humor? Politics? Blogging? Cooking? With topics covering every interest imaginable, there’s an English-speaking podcast or YouTube channel out there for you. Subscribe to a few and listen while driving or watch during the commute to school or work. At first, you might find the native accents difficult, but stick with it and you’ll soon start to understand what you hear (as well as learning lots of new vocab from a native speaker!)

5. If there’s a better way to learn English than being immersed in it while living and studying in an English-speaking country, we’d love to know! It’s no secret that English is the most widely-spoken language in the world, and with a long list of countries to choose between, you can select your ideal learning environment based on hemisphere, weather, or favorite city. Think Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Canada, and South Africa to name a few!

6. Have friends who post online in English? Don’t gloss over them in your newsfeed: scan the items they share and commit to exploring one or two each day. They might be news or magazine articles, videos, talks, blog posts, songs, or anything else: if it’s in English and the topic interests you, it’s going to be helpful!

7. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it also propelled the language learner to fluency! As you learn English, you’ll soon collect a mountain of questions. Don’t sit on your doubts – be curious and resolve them! If you’re enrolled in a course, ask your teacher (it’s what they’re there for, after all). But if you’re learning alone, don’t worry: find answers in blogs or language websites, ask other learners, or read through forums.

You’ll be happy you did!

8. Mix up your learning by picking a native English-speaking actor or singer you like.

Now, head online, find a bunch of interviews they’ve given – and watch them! Watch once for gist, then again, taking time to note down interesting expressions and words you hear. The slang, stories, humor, and anecdotes that come out of these interview are sure to give you plenty to work with!

9. Your English studies are likely to go far more quickly if you constantly remind yourself of your motives for learning. Are you going on a study exchange? Then, focus on vocabulary related to your studies. Have an overseas conference? Brush up on conversation starters to use with the other participants. Going on a gap year? Looks like travel and tourism vocabulary will be your guide. If you simply launch into learning English hoping to magically learn anything and everything at once, you’re likely to end up confused and burned out. Which brings us to…

10. When you start to feel like you’re not making ground – which happens to all learners at some point – don’t say, “I don’t speak English,” or “I’ll never get this.” In fact, ban those phrases from your vocabulary! They only blur your understanding of the progress you’re making and convince you that your dreams of speaking English well are impossible. Instead, say “I’m learning English and making improvements everyday,” “It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it,” “I’m so much better that I was six months ago,” and other phrases to remind yourself of the big picture.
