Учебник написан на основе компетентностного подхода, предполагающего в качестве ко- нечной цели обучения иностранному языку на указанных факультетах формирование личнос- ти, обладающей компетентностью в сфере иноязычного общения на международном уровне. Такой подход определяет следующие цели курса: 1. Развитие языковой компетенции как совокупности языковых знаний, умений и навыков, соответствующих задачам общения на общие и профессионально ориентированные темы, и готовности овладевать ими и использовать для достижения целей общения. Развитие речевой компетенции как совокупности речевых умений и навыков: чтения, аудирования, говорения и письменной речи и готовности их реализовывать в репродуктивной и продуктивной речевой деятельности в соответствии с коммуникативными задачами. Развитие социокультурной компетенции как совокупности знаний культуры в широком ее понимании : культуры своей страны, страны изучаемого языка и других стран мира; умения находить общее и видеть отличное от своей культуры; умения и готовности использовать эти знания в процессе общения на английском языке с представителями других культур; готовности принимать культурное разнообразие и признавать право на иной образ мысли и жизни, при этом отстаивая свою позицию, сохраняя чувство собственного достоинства и не унижая достоинства представителей иных культур. Развитие информационной компетенции как совокупности знаний о современных источниках информации бумажные и электронные словари и энциклопедии, интернет- ресурсы , умения и готовности работать с ними для извлечения, отбора и эффективного использования информации в учебно-познавательных целях. П р е д и с л о в и е 6 Английский язык для международников и регионоведов. Названные задачи определяют структуру учебника, который состоит из 6 глав и 12 уроков. Подразделение на главы основано на тематическом принципе, на уроки — на лексико-грамма- тическом. Каждая глава состоит из следующих разделов: Diagnostic Test, Speaking включает ре- чевые модели, речевой этикет, ситуации общения, в том числе ролевые игры , Reading, Reading and Speaking тексты для чтения и дискуссии , Vocabulary List, Vocabulary Practice, Word Building, The Right Word in the Right Place отдельные лексические и грамматические трудности, вклю- чая фразовые глаголы , Project Work проектные задания двух видов: 1 на развитие языковой компетенции Build up your Vocabulary и 2 на развитие коммуникативной, социокультурной и информационной компетенций , Grammar Ways to Speak about the Past, Ways to Speak about the Present, Ways to Speak about the Future, Comparison of Adjectives, Expressions of Quantity, Adverbs, Passives, Reported Speech, Infinitive, Complex Object, Modals , Check Yourself — вопросы и задания для самопроверки, Appendix, Supplement. Текстовой материал учебника является аутентичным, современным и информативным, обеспечивая развитие общей эрудиции и культуры будущего специалиста; языковой материал лексика и грамматика, произносительные модели функционален, т. КРАТКИЕ МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ РЕКОМЕНДАЦИИ Диагностический тест в начале каждой главы позволяет преподавателю и каждому студенту определить, какому материалу уделить особое внимание, какие задания являются обязатель- ными, а какие факультативными. На развитие языковой компетенции студентов направлены разделы Vocabulary List, Vocabu- lary Practice, Word Building, the Right Word in the Right Place, Grammar и проектные задания Build up Your Vocabulary активный словарь: общий и тематический. Проектные задания особенно важны, так как помимо языковой формируют информационную компетенцию уроки 5, 8, 9—12 и умение работать в команде уроки 9—12. Соотношение времени на аудиторном занятии и на самостоятельную работу составляет 30—40% к 60—70%. Грамматические разделы учебника снабжены большим количеством таблиц с примерами, что позволяет студентам при необходи- мости проработать материал самостоятельно. Разноуровневый характер заданий дает препо- давателю возможность отобрать упражнения, соответствующие языковой подготовке студен- тов. В аудитории рекомендуется выполнять в первую очередь упражнения коммуникативной направленности например, Work in pairs. Развитие речевой компетенции происходит при работе над разделами Speaking, Reading, Reading and Speaking, Project Work и другими разделами в режиме спонтанного общения, на- правленного на решение учебных задач на аудиторном занятии. Развивать навыки быстрого чтения необходимо на занятиях. Работа над разделом Speaking — отработка интонационных и речевых моделей — проводится на занятиях в среднем 25% времени каждого занятия. Парную работу и ролевые игры обязательно проводить на занятии. В учебнике предлагаются ролевые игры двух типов: 1 игры, где заданы и роли, и ситуации общения; 2 игры, где зада- ны только ситуации общения. Вариативность направлена на развитие навыков как подготов- ленной, так и неподготовленной диалогической речи. Этой же цели служат разделы Reading, П р е д и с л о в и е Английский язык для международников и регионоведов. Часть II Pre-reading Questions, Discussion Questions and Discussion Points. Подготовленная и неподго- товленная дискуссии занимают до 25 % аудиторного времени. Особое место занимает раздел Project Work второго типа по теме каждой главы учебника уроки 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12 , который обеспечивает взаимосвязанное развитие всех упомянутых компетенций и личностных качеств. Работа над этим разделом проводится как в аудитории, так и самостоятельно, в режиме командной и индивидуальной работы, с участием и без участия преподавателя. Аудиторное время отводится на организационный этап, в случае задания для команды — 25% времени одного занятия и на презентацию результатов 50% времени одного занятия. Раздел Check yourself в конце каждого урока содержит контрольные вопросы и формирует способность оценивать собственную деятельность по усвоению языкового материала. Идея и разработка концепции учебника принадлежит Е. Разделы Speaking, Reading and Speaking, Reading, Project Work и раздел Articles. Разделы Vocabulary List, Vocabulary Practice написаны Д.

What are the richest and the poorest countries of the world? What are the most obvious differences between the regions of the world? B e t t e r t o B e W e a lt h y a n d H e a lt h y 22 Английский язык для международников и регионоведов. Education is always top on the list, if we could build schools and set up public programs in poor countries this will give these people the opportunity to learn skills that will allow them to develop and eventually become a more independent nation. If we were not in constant war we would have the money to help humanitarian efforts. Mark, Rochester USA 2. Like most other residents of the UK I do not consider myself to be rich and I do not feel that I somehow have a responsibility to help the poor of other countries. We need to take care of our own poor before we can tackle the problems of underdeveloped nations. Matt Munro, Bristol, UK. How do you expect to see an end to poverty when a country like Zambia has an unemployment rate of 80%? Could any single country in Europe live with such an unemployment rate? If we do not start creating jobs in developing countries, then there will be no end to poverty. In all the aid that is given to Africa, I have never seen one aid organisation even mention the need to create jobs. Job creation requires investment and it is not difficult to calculate how much investment each country requires to create those jobs. It will cost billions of dollars, but with targets and ef- fort, progress could be made. Throwing money at poor countries will only make things worse. Up to 90% of the money given to some poor countries for aid will be siphoned siphon — перекачивать off by corrupt bu- reaucrats. Fair and equal trade without protectionist subsidies is essential to lifting families out of poverty. There should also be huge penalties on Western Banks that allow corrupt leaders to siphon off funds meant for aid. Ask yourself this question: Why do super rich people come from develop- ing countries? Do you have the answer? I think life will not improve in poorer nations, especially in Africa, by mere cancellation of debts and sending food parcels. Life will improve only if rich countries invest in agriculture, like imple- menting green revolution model which was a great success in India and still is and providing better quality of seeds and improving education. Sunil Mohan Reddy M, India. It's a shame that in the twenty first century there is so much poverty. How can there be so many people who have so little and so few people who have so much? The only way to prevent pov- 2 Oxfam International is a group of non-governmental organizations from three continents working worldwide to fight poverty and injustice. B e t t e r t o B e W e a lt h y a n d H e a lt h y 23 Английский язык для международников и регионоведов. Часть II erty is for every citizen of the world to give a mere 1% of their income to charities involved in feeding and assisting the poor. Africans have failed Africa. I am sick and tired of the whole thing. Why do we bother? We keep on funding the poor to live in areas that obviously cannot sustain life for any decent period. We should face the reality and just stop trying to interfere. White western politicians and pop stars have had more than enough chances to make everything wonderful — plus the billions and billions that the West have pumped in and what have we achieved? I want Gor- don Brown to concentrate on the UK — not act as a Saint at our expense. Extreme poverty will always be with us until the extremely poor reduce their birth rate. The well-off nations of the world have no obligation to support people who produce huge numbers of children without the ability to support them. Poverty cannot be checked until the massive population growth is brought under control. It is not up to the so called 'rich counties' to sort out world poverty. The gap between the rich and the poor is the biggest in the poorest countries. For example, India with its caste system. Just drive around Bombay Mumbai and you will see untold wealth in one area while just down the road there are whole families living in cardboard boxes. The fact is that most countries where there is poverty have a very wealthy elite and it is they who should lead the way before asking for UN aid. What can the developed countries do to help the developing ones? No one knows because hunger is difficult to define, because the statistical data are weak, and because efforts to improve data collection and analysis have been limited. But beyond these real difficulties we may not know how many hungry people there are in the world because we may not want to know.

Within seconds of suffering an at- tack the lives of three New Yorkers moved in totally different directions. After he was stricken, Will Wilson was taken to a hospital that did not offer the treatment he needed. He later had trouble changing his diet, and to limit stress he set a date to retire from his office job. Ewa Gora, a housekeeper, felt ill but resisted going to a hospital, then wound up staying two weeks. She struggled to quit smoking and to control her weight, and worried about bills that piled up while she was unable to work. Jean Miele, an architect, had quick emergency treatment for his heart attack at a top hospital, good follow-up care and useful advice on altering his health habits, including his diet. He also benefited from the support of family and friends. What, in your opinion, are the attributes of class? What is the connection between class and wellness health? B e t t e r t o B e W e a lt h y a n d H e a lt h y 28 Английский язык для международников и регионоведов. Часть II Look through the text to find the paragraph or paragraphs which sum up this connection most clearly. For Those with Status, Better, and Longer, Lives Jean G. Miele's heart attack happened on a sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan last May. He was walking back to work with two colleagues after a sushi lunch that cost several hundred dollars. Wilson's heart attack came four days earlier in his bedroom in Brooklyn. He had been describing to his fiancee a heavy dinner he was beginning to regret. Ewa Rynczak Gora's first signs of trouble came in her rented room in the shadow of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. It was July 4. Gora, a Polish-born housekeeper told her hus- band not to call an ambulance; it would cost too much. Architect, utility worker 1 , maid: in those first fearful moments, three New Yorkers with little in common faced a common threat. But in the months that followed, their experiences were different. Social class — that combination of income, education, occupation and wealth — played a central role in Mr. Gora's struggles to recover. Class is a powerful force in health and longevity in the United States. The more education and income people have, the less likely they are to have and die of heart disease, strokes, diabetes and many types of cancer. Upper-middle-class Americans live longer and in better health than middle-class Americans, who live longer and better than those at the bottom. And the gaps are widening, researchers say. Heart attack is a window on the effects of class on health. The risk factors — smoking, poor diet, inactivity, obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and stress — are all more common among the less educated and less rich, who are also less likely to get emergency room care or to change their lifestyles after heart attacks. On the lower end, the poor are facing various disadvantages. Diet has gotten worse. There's a lot more work stress. People have less time, if they're poor, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Miele's advantage began with the people he was with who called an ambulance. Because he was in Manhattan, there were major medical centers nearby, all equipped for the best in emergency cardiac care. The ambulance attendant offered Mr. He picked Tisch Hospital, part of New York University Medical Center, an academic center with relatively rich patients. Miele, 66, was on a table awaiting angioplasty 2 to unclog his artery. Less than two hours after Mr. Miele's first symptoms, his artery was reopened. The damage to his heart was minimal, and he spent just two days in the hospital. Things went less smoothly for Mr. Wilson, a 53-year-old transportation coordinator for Consolidated Edison Con Ed. This time, he called an ambulance. He was offered a choice of two hospitals — neither with state permission to do angioplasty. Wilson chose the Brooklyn Hospital Center, where he was given a drug to break up the clot 3 blocking an artery to his heart. It worked at first, but the clot re-formed. Wilson was taken to New-York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, where Dr. Bhalla performed angi- oplasty. Wilson spent five days in the hospital before heading home with a list of drugs and instructions to change his diet and to exercise regularly.

She hesitated before allowing her husband to call an ambulance. He finally insisted, and, given no choice, she was taken to Woodhull, a city- run hospital that Mr. Woodhull was busy when Ms. Two hours later, a doctor examined her, and tests confirmed she was having a heart attack. She was given drugs to stop her blood from clotting and to control her blood pressure. The next day, she was taken to Bellevue, the hospital Mr. Miele had turned down, for an angiogram to assess her risk of a second heart attack. Gora, who was 59 at the time, developed a fe- ver, so the angiogram was canceled. She remained at Bellevue for two weeks before she was sent home. No angiogram was ever done. Comforts and Risks Mr. Miele is upper middle class, the son of an architect and an artist. After college, he spent two years in the military and then joined his father's architecture firm. For the past 20 years he worked four-day weeks, spending long weekends with his family, sailing or rebuilding cars. Will Wilson is clearly middle class. His parents were poor farmers who moved north and became a machinist and a nurse. He grew up in Brooklyn and had spent 34 years at Con Ed. Wilson's health was not bad, but far from perfect. He traced his first heart attack to his smoking, his diet and the stress from a bitter divorce. Gora is in the working class. A bus driver's daughter, she arrived in New York City from Krakow in the early 1990's. She was in her seventh year on a waiting list for a subsidized one-bedroom apartment. Gora had never imagined she was at risk of a heart attack, though she was overweight, hypertensive and a 30-year smoker. Uneven Recoveries By spring, Mr. Miele's heart attack, remarkably, had left him in better shape. He had lost more than 15 kilograms and was exercising five times a week. He was working from home. His blood pressure and cholesterol were low. Wilson's heart attack had been a setback. His heart function was not normal, though it improved somewhat since May. He still enjoyed fried food sometimes, but he took his medica- tions regularly. He was looking forward to retirement. Gora's health was increasingly complex. She finally returned to work in November and had moved into the subsidized apartment with her own kitchen and bathroom. But her weight had hit 91 kilograms. Her blood pressure and cholesterol remained too high. B e t t e r t o B e W e a lt h y a n d H e a lt h y 30 Английский язык для международников и регионоведов.

Some Facts from the History of the Internet When the Internet, then known as ARPANET, was launched in 1969, its purpose was to link research centers around the world. Since the Internet was initially funded by the government, it was originally limited to re- search, education, and government uses. Commercial uses were prohibited unless they directly served the goals of research and education. Over the next three decades, every stage of what we now know as the Internet caused heated debate. But as a result of hard work and experiments a network was created that now serves as the foundation for commerce and communications. The Internet has been used for many innovative purposes over the last decade. Nowadays the Internet is being used on a daily basis by millions of people around the world, ranging from toddlers i. Educationally, it offers up-to-date publications by world-class research institutions, and oc- casionally a chance to ask questions directly to the experts. Politically, the Internet is being used as a communications channel, for politicians and citi- zens to exchange ideas and opinions before the election. And it is being used to provide real- time reports and analyses. Anyway, a lot of users of the Internet believe the Internet will be used to better our lives and bring services to people that they would not have otherwise.

Soon after, the family started complaining that the house needed repairs — and expected the taxpayer to pay for them as well. Since that time the mess has built up.

Do families like the Cromptons deserve help from the Government? A nation on the rise or decline? At the upper end, there are people who do sometimes work but their work is very low paying and unreliable. Closer to the lower end of the welfare class are the homeless. The employment for the welfare class, if found, does not pay enough for their housing, food, and clothes. Some, such as the homeless, just learn to live with inadequate housing, food, and clothing. Others attempt to adequately clothe, feed, and house themselves and their children by looking for alternative sources of income. Many people rely on government assistance, such as welfare, subsidised housing, etc. Others may engage in crimi- nal activity such as prostitution, drug cultivation and sales, or petty theft.

What does success mean in your opinion? Money social status power...? Read the text quickly and say where and when the story is set and who is the self- made man. Rudolph Jordache went into the locker-room and took a shower, although he hadn't run enough to work up a sweat. There never was enough hot water at home and when he could he showered at the gym. The boys in the locker-room spoke in low tones and there was none of the usual horsing around возни. Smiley, the captain of the team, got up on the bench and said he thought that if there was a funeral service for Henry's brother, they all ought to chip in and buy a wreath. Fifty cents a man would do it, he thought. You could tell by looking at the boys' faces who could spare the fifty cents and who couldn't. Rudolph couldn't spare it, but he made a conscious effort to look as though he could. The boys who agreed most readily were the ones whose parents took them down to New York City before the school term to buy the year's clothes for them. Rudolph bought his clothes in town, in Port Philip, at Bernstein's Depart- ment Store. Rudolph got out of the locker-room quickly. Carrying his books, he strode along the cracked sidewalks of the neighbourhood. The school was built on a hill and he could see the Hudson river below him, and in the dis- tance to the south the chimney of the Boylan Brick and Tile Works, where his sister Gretchen worked. Port Philip was not a pretty town, although once it had been, with big white Colonial houses mingled with solid Victorian stone. But the boom in the 1920s had brought a lot of new people into town, working people, whose homes were narrow and dark, spreading out into all neighbourhoods. Then the Depression had thrown almost everybody out of work and the jerry- built 2 houses had been neglected, and as Rudolph's mother complained, the entire town had become a single slum. Rudolph turned to his left on Vanderhoff Street. It was a long street and as he approached his own house the street became shabbier and shabbier as though going south was somehow spir- itually a decline. The Jordaches lived in a flat over the bakery. His mother was in the bakery putting a dozen hard rolls in a brown paper bag for a little girl. At the start of the war his father decided to confine himself to baking the bread and rolls; the cakes and tarts were delivered from a big commercial bakery every morning.

When the meal was over Rudolph went to his room to do his homework. Rudolph shared a narrow room and a double bed in it with his younger brother. He knew that if he wanted to escape from eating in a kitchen and sharing a bed with his brother it was going to be through books, so he was always the best prepared student in the class for all examinations. What do we want? What are our strengths and weaknesses? Where are we going? Now at the exact mid-point of the century, Rudolph thought, moving restlessly on the camp chair set up on the campus lawn, what do I have and what do I want? I have a BA 4 , a debt of four thousand dollars, and a dying mother. I want to be rich and free and beloved. Where am I going? Rudolph had sent him an invitation, but Boylan had declined. Come on over to the house when the dreary mumblings are over, and we'll break out a bottle of champagne and talk about your plans. For one, he'd have owed Boylan a good deal more than four thousand dollars at the end, and for another, with his background and his lack of money, he'd have been an outsider among the young lords of American society whose fathers and grandfathers had all cheered at Harvard-Yale games, and most of whom had never worked a day in their lives. At Whitby, pov- erty was normal. The occasional boy who did not have to work in the summer to help pay for his books and clothes in the autumn was unusual. He had started as a stock boy 7 in busy seasons, but he had worked so hard that by now he was part time salesman, window dresser, and advisor on buying. Rudolph was standing under the huge sign that traced the name of Calderwood against the blue September sky. Dealer in millions, manager and entrepreneur on the rise, a well-tanned, hand- some young man in a nicely tailored unremarkable suit.
