Mетапредметные результаты
обучения иностранному языку
Деятельностный характер освоения содержания
УМК серии Rainbow English направлен на достиже-
ние метапредметных результатов, то есть на форми-
рование универсальных учебных действий (далее
УУД). Как известно, данные действия в современной
методической науке подразделяются на регулятив-
ные, познавательные и коммуникативные УУД.
Первые из них, регулятивные УУД, отражены
в таких разделах учебника, как «Учимся самостоя-
тельно» (Do It on Your Own), заданиях рабочей те-
тради и лексико-грамматического практикума. Они
развивают у учащихся умение учиться, заставляют
самостоятельно ставить учебные задачи, планиро-
вать свою деятельность, осуществлять рефлексию
при сравнении планируемого и полученного резуль-
татов.
Познавательные УУД находят свое отражение
в последовательной и системной работе со всеми ком-
понентами УМК Rainbow English. Они учат школьни-
ков извлекать, обрабатывать и представлять в речи
информацию, на что направлены многие задания,
связанные с чтением, аудированием и последующим
построением собственного высказывания (письмен-
ного или устного). Повторение и закрепление лингви-
стического (грамматического, лексического и слово
образовательного) материала тренирует школьников

Рекомендации по работе
с учебной ситуацией
Steps to Your Career
Первая учебная ситуация Steps to Your Career тема-
тически, как это следует из заглавия, связана с вы-
бором учащимися своей будущей профессии. Пред-
лагаемый материал дает возможность поговорить о
различных профессиональных интересах, подумать
о том, какие личностные качества необходимы че-
ловеку, чтобы заниматься той или иной профессио-
нальной деятельностью. Он также позволяет оха-
рактеризовать занятия людей с точки зрения слож-
ности, опасности, престижа, популярности и т. д.
Данная тематика не является новой для одиннадца-
тиклассников. На протяжении всех лет обучения
так или иначе на занятиях по английскому языку
школьники соприкасались с разнообразными ас-
пектами этой проблемы. В УМК для 11 класса им
подводится своеобразный итог, а учащимся предо-
ставляется возможность еще раз задуматься о том,
чем следует заняться после окончания школьного
обучения.
Как и во всех последующих учебных ситуациях
(Units), в самом начале заявленной темы учащимся
предлагаются своеобразные смысловые опоры или
тематические центры, на которых будет основано об-
суждение. Это, прежде всего, возможность получе-
ния дальнейшего образования, что неизбежно затра-
гивает вопрос знакомства с различными университе-

Steps to Effective Communication
В третьем тематическом блоке речь идет о коммуни-
кации самого разного рода, что позволяет повторить
и развить сразу несколько учебных речевых ситуа-
ций: новые достижения науки и техники в области
коммуникации, великие открытия и изобретения и
их создатели, изменения в жизни человека и обще-
ства в новом тысячелетии, важность общения в жиз-
ни каждого человека и тому подобное. Как это при-
нято в учебнике 11 класса, предварительное введе-
ние в тему происходит с помощью вопросов, многие
из которых предполагают выражение собственного
мнения (см. упражнение 2 первого урока).
Первый урок (Step 1) предлагает для изучения
набор новой лексики, состоящий как из слов фор-
мального (comprehensible, captivate), так и ней-
трального или даже сниженного регистров (stuff,
touch, figure out). Представляется, что к этой осо-
бенности лексики урока стоит привлечь внимание
школьников. Было бы также полезно указать им на
то, что помимо специально выделенных фразовых
глаголов figure out, work out, stir up примеры из

Четвертый тематический блок учебника строится
вокруг тем, связанных с будущим. Речь в нем идет о

ский материал, который оказывается здесь в центре
внимания, представляет собой некоторые из наибо-

I don’t really know what I’d like to do after school.
I haven’t made up my mind yet if I should go to work or
go on studying. I think it could be good to take a year
off and, perhaps, to go travelling, to get some experi-
ence, to see new places, to meet various people. I’m
sure travelling will give me a chance to learn about the
world and maybe to learn more about myself. Then
I will be able to decide what I really want to do.
Speaker 2
I have had enough of school. I’m tired of studying.
I think I’ll be able to find an interesting job soon. I have
already had one offer and I can start right away. My
exam results at school are good enough. I’ve been into
computers for some years already. The firm offering
me the job specializes in information technology, so
I’m going to earn some money.
Speaker 3
I’m glad I’m leaving school. I would like to get a job
and to do some real things. I want to do a job helping
people. It could be first aid, working at a hospital but
not necessarily nursing. I’m thinking about useful jobs
aimed at people. I’m fairly patient and they say I easily
get on with different people. But I wouldn’t like to
work at night. I’m interested in getting a job during
the day. Then I’ll be able to attend evening classes if
I decide to go to university in the future.

— Today in our studio we have an honourable guest,
Ms Jennifer Morrison, a well-known children’s writer.
Hi, and welcome, Jennifer!
— Hello and thank you for the invitation!
— Jennifer, right now, many school-leavers are not
so far from the end of school, thinking about their fu-
ture careers. Some of them have already chosen their
future occupations. Others haven’t made their final
choices yet. What advice can you give them?
— I think I can tell them a few words about myself.
In school I did well in many subjects but felt discour-
aged by the teachers. Each of them told me to work
harder in their subjects but I wasn’t sure which of the
school subjects I might need in the future.
— So you decided to do your best in all of them,
didn’t you?
— No, I didn’t. I suddenly understood that I was re-
sponsible for my own education and for my future.
I felt that my school wasn’t doing enough. If you want
to become a knowledgeable person, you can’t wait for

Sam Greenhill, a Hello! Magazine journalist.
— Did you enjoy your year out before university?
— I loved my gap year. I would like to have another
one.
— What was the most memorable part of it?
— I loved working on a farm in England. It was the
best part of my year. I enjoyed the fact I was put in as
a hand and was paid and was just another guy on the
farm. I got my hands dirty, and did all the chores and
had to get up at 4 a.m. I managed to see a completely
different lifestyle.

1. The Volgograd State Medical University has
a long tradition of medical training. It is situated in
the centre of the city. The university works together
with the World Health Organization. It has contacts
with many foreign universities and participates in in-
ternational programmes with Belgium, France, Germa-
ny, the USA.
The university has four educational buildings and
five large hospitals. Since 1962 the university has been
training foreign students from 85 countries of Europe,
Asia, Africa and Latin America.
2. The Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia
was founded for the benefit of Asian, African and Lat-
in American countries. Today it has a student popula-
tion which comes from 107 countries of the world. The
university’s medical faculty is one of the oldest. It
trains doctors in the main disciplines of medicine. In
1960 the university began training children’s doctors
which was a great achievement as it was the first de-
partment of this kind in the world.
3. Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni
Novgorod was founded on the 17th January 1916 as
one of three people’s universities of Russia and became
the first university in Nizhni Novgorod. Now it is con-
sidered to be among the best universities in the coun-
try. It trains more than 40,000 students doing their
bachelor’s and master’s degrees. There are also post-
graduate courses and shorter training programmes.

This is an interview with Masha Rakitina who spent
a year in the USA studying abroad.
— Masha, what made you decide to study abroad?
— I can’t tell you exactly why I decided to go to the
US. I had always been interested in English and Eng-
lish-speaking countries. I wanted to see America with
my own eyes. So when I learnt about the programme
sponsored by the American government, I made up my
mind to have a try.
— Life in America is fairly expensive. How were
you able to afford it?
— I could afford a year of studying in Texas because
the programme gave the winner an opportunity not to
pay for anything. I was also given a scholarship — over
200 dollars every month in order to be involved in vari-
ous activities with my new American friends.
— What were your impressions of the country?
— During my last year at school in Russia I read
a lot about the USA and was very serious about my fu-
ture, so I came with some knowledge about the country.
I knew that Americans are a nation that historically
had always been “on the move”. And it is still true now-
adays. Americans love to travel. There are so many cars
moving in all directions. I think a symbol of America
should be a car or a truck.
— What difficulties did you have? What about the
so-called American accent?

used to the accent very quickly. What was really diffi-

There are few events in British sports life that
attract as much attention as this boat race. This compe-
tition is between students. There are no prizes given
to the winners but to take part in this race is a great hon-
our. The boat race between Oxford and Cambridge takes
place on the River Thames every year. This tradition
started in the eighteen thirties. The crews of the boats
train together for 12 weeks before the race. On boat race
Saturday the banks along the Thames and the bridges
are crowded with people who come to watch the race and
support either Oxford or Cambridge.

In summer Scottish people traditionally meet to-
gether for competitions called Highland Games. After
Queen Victoria visited the games in 1848, the games
became the most famous tradition in Scotland. Today
thousands of visitors come to see Scottish national

bagpipe music.

In the 16th and 17th, centuries Scottish clans were
like huge families ruled by powerful chiefs. Sometimes
there were fierce battles between different clans but
nowadays the McDonalds and the McKenzies, the Camp-
bells and others live in peace with each other. Wearing
tartans or coloured checks was common in the High-
lands. Each clan had its own tartan. Kilts became popu-
lar in the 18th century and are worn by both men and
women. Tartans are now part of international fashion.

— Good morning, everyone!
— Our listeners would like to know more about your
country. One of them is asking about your traditional
festivals. What are they like?
— That’s a very good question. Each year in the US
there are festivals to celebrate almost everything you
can think of.
— How long do they last?
— Some festivals are only for a day, while others
last for a few months. Some are serious and some are
fun. Some attract thousands of people, and some just
a few.
— Could you give examples?
— The most popular festivals are probably fairs.
These are usually at the end of summer. Farmers enter
their animals in competitions and hope to win.

Many brave knights sat at the Round Table in King
Arthur’s castle. They all had many adventures and
took part in numerous battles of their King. They were
all strong and courageous knights. But Sir Lancelot
was really much better than all for them because he was
strong and had excellent riding skills. He was the son
of Arthur’s faithful friend, King Ban. Sir Lancelot had
had many adventures before he arrived at Camelot, the
place of King Arthur’s court.
The Lady of the Lake had stolen him from his moth-
er, Queen Helen, when he was a baby and never re-
turned him. He was brought up by the Lake Queen Viv-
ian to become the greatest of all knights. Soon he be-
came known as Lancelot of the Lake.
When he reached his eighteenth year, the Lady of
the Lake sent him to the court of King Arthur. Ancient
books tell us about his adventures. Among the other
knights of the Round Table Sir Lancelot took part in an
expedition in search of the Holy Grail. It is believed
that it was the Cup out of which our Lord Jesus Christ
drank at the Last Supper.
One moonlit night Sir Lancelot was travelling alone
and found himself approaching a large castle. He had
no difficulty in entering it. So he walked right through
the castle, until he reached a room where the doors

— You know, Brian, there’s one thing I haven’t
done before going home: I haven’t been to the Tate
Gallery.
— As far as I remember, you have some free time to-
morrow afternoon. I can take you to the Tate.
— Can you? Oh, that would be lovely. I’ve always
wanted to see Turner’s original works. There are no
works by him in Russian art galleries.
— The Tate is the right place for seeing Turner’s
paintings. By the way, Olga, did you know that there
are two Tate Galleries in London now?
— No, I didn’t. How come?
— In the year 2000 they divided the collection into
the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern.
— In what way are they different?
— The Tate Britain includes the collection of Eng-
lish and foreign art up to the end of the 19th century.
In turn, the Tate Modern has a collection of European
and American paintings of the 20th and 21st centuries.
— I see.
— As for Turner, the Tate Britain has a very large
collection of his paintings. Personally, I prefer his lat-
er works: they have some mystery about them.
— Do you often go to the Tate Britain? Do you know
it well?
— Not often as I’d like to, but I try not to miss in-
teresting exhibitions and every time I go there, I see
some of my favourite pictures as well.

Mikhail Glinka was the first Russian composer who
became famous outside his country. People say that he
is the father of Russian music. Glinka was the son of
a rich merchant. He spent a lot of time travelling
around Europe where he learned about progressive
trends in the music of the time. Anyhow, later on, he
managed to find his own language in composition.

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was a Russian composer
and a teacher of classical music. Born in Tikhvin, near
Novgorod, to an aristocratic family, Nikolai showed
talent for music from an early age.
Nevertheless, he studied at the Russian Imperial
Naval College in Saint Petersburg and then became an
officer in the Russian fleet. Later Rimsky-Korsakov
became Professor of Composition at Saint Petersburg
Conservatoire.

Sir Christopher Wren is a famous British architect.
He was born in 1632 and died in 1732. As an architect
Wren introduced the forms of Renaissance design to
English architecture.
After the Great Fire of London in 1666 thousands of
buildings were destroyed in the capital of England.
Wren began to replan the city and rebuilt 51 churches.
Saint Paul’s Cathedral is one of them and this work of
the prominent architect is certainly very special and
important. Wren usually produced only a general plan
of the church he was building and left the interior to be
decorated by others. But Saint Paul’s Cathedral was
a different story. It was too grand and magnificent.

Albert Einstein, the Nobel Prize winner in Physics,
was born on the 14th of March, 1879 in Germany.
He spent his childhood in Munich where he later
began his schooling. Albert was trained as a teacher of
physics and mathematics in Switzerland. In 1901, the
year he got his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship
and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he ac-
cepted a position as a technical assistant in the Swiss
Patent Office. In 1905 he was awarded a PhD (Doctor
of Philosophy) by the University of Zurich.
Einstein became a German citizen in 1914 and lived
in Berlin until 1933 when he emigrated to America
to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics
at Princeton, one of the oldest and most respected
American universities.
At the start of his scientific work Einstein dealt
with classical problems of statical mechanics, investi-

The planet Venus is named after the Roman goddess
of beauty and love. Venus is the brightest planet in the
solar system. We see it as the morning star or the even-
ing star, depending on where it is on the journey around
the Sun. Venus takes only 225 days to go around the
Sun. So more than three years pass on Venus for every
two years on Earth. It is the only planet to spin in the
opposite way to the direction to its orbit.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is
twice the size of all the other planets put together. Ju-
piter’s force of gravity is great. Anyone on Jupiter
would weigh twice as much as on Earth. Astronomers
believe that most of Jupiter is hot liquid hydrogen. Ju-
piter spins so fast that a day and night last less than ten
Earth-hours. But a year in Jupiter is 12 times longer
than one of ours. This is because Jupiter is much far-
ther from the Sun than we are.

— Look, Martin, I’ve just seen a new list of the
Nobel Prize winners on the Internet and I suddenly re-
alized that I don’t know much about Nobel Prizes. You
know a lot more about sciences. Can you enlighten me?
— I’ll try to. As far as I know, these prizes are given
not only for inventions or discoveries in physics, chem-
istry, physiology and medicine. People get the Nobel
Prizes for literature and peace. There’s also the prize
in economic sciences.
— Where does the money for these prizes come
from?
— It was left by the Swedish engineer, inventor and
armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel who invented
dynamite.
— When did it happen?
— Nobel died in 1896. He left nearly 9 million dol-
lars to set up these prizes that now have his name.
— What’s known about him?
— Well, he made a lot of money through his inven-
tion of explosive dynamite the production of which
brought Nobel his millions. He lived alone, avoided
other people and was a pacifist.
— When did he invent dynamite?
— In 1866. You know, there’s a sad side of this
invention. In the 1860s Alfred Nobel and his father,
Immanuel, who was also an inventor, began to produce
nitroglycerin in a factory near Stockholm. An accident
in the factory killed five people including Nobel’s
younger brother Emil.
— How awful!
— Yes, indeed. So Alfred began looking for a safer
way of dealing with nitroglycerin, invented dynamite
and patented it under this name.

— You know, Sergei, I’ve been living in Moscow
for several months already and I’m surprised that very
few people read newspapers in the underground or on
the bus.
— Really? Is it different in Britain?
— At least in the locality where I live it is. And gen-
erally speaking, in my view, British people buy more
newspapers than Russians do.
— I’ve never thought about it. You may be right.
Have you noticed any other things that are different?
— Well, in the UK newspapers used to be of two
main types — quality papers, or broadsheets, and tab-
loids which are much smaller in size. However, such
important British newspapers The Guardian and The In-
dependent now print in the smaller tabloid size. In Rus-
sia they are all of more or less the same size.
— Is the size the only thing that makes them differ-
ent?
— Certainly not. Probably more important is the
fact that quality papers seriously analyze the signifi-
cant problems in society while tabloids or “the popular
papers” (‘the populars’), as we call them, produce more
sensational materials.
— Do I understand it correctly that quality papers
mostly concentrate on political problems?

Human experience is marked by a refusal to accept
our limitations. Man has tried to investigate the
ground, the ocean and the sky. We have created planes,
rockets, submarines and with their help made our lives
more convenient and comfortable. Then the idea of pro-
ducing powerful machines that can behave like humans
came to life. Science-fiction authors began to write
about cyborgs (machine-like humans), androids (hu-
man-robot hybrids) and other combinations beyond
what we can imagine.
The ancient Greeks were among the first to build ma-
chines that could more or less imitate the intelligence
and natural movements of people. In the epoch of Euro-
pean Renaissance the first androids with lifelike move-
ments appeared. For example, in 1540 Gianello Torria-
no, an Italian inventor, constructed a mandolin-playing
lady. In 1772 a Swiss watchmaker built a child that could
write a passage with a pen. In fact, it was a mechanical
computer that was fairly complex even by today’s stan-
dards.
Such inventions led scientists and philosophers to
think that the human brain itself was just a complex
mechanism.
The word “robot” appeared almost a century ago.
Czech dramatist Karel Čapek first used the term in
1921 in his play. It comes from the Czech word “ro-
bota” meaning obligatory work. In the play, he de-
scribes the invention of intelligent biomechanical ma-
chines intended as servants for the human creators.
His robots brought together all the elements of ma-
chine intelligence but didn’t have human charm and
good will. Very significantly, Čapek’s robots intro-
duced the idea of the robot as an imitation or substi-
tute for a human being. A century has passed. Robots
can do a lot. But can they really become our substi-
tutes? That’s the question.

It’s common knowledge that there are countries
and areas which suffer from hunger. The world still
remembers the year 1984, when hunger killed at least
800,000 people in Ethiopia. And it is only one of many
examples. I think that this problem can be solved only
with the help of the international community. People
only can relieve the crises of hunger by cooperating. In-
ternational organizations such as the United Nations
Children’s Fund, the United Nations Development Pro-
gramme and others, play an important role in helping
the populations of the areas where hunger strikes. But
they can’t do much without the support of govern-
ments and voluntary organizations.

As I see it, the worst threats are threats to the envi-
ronment. Probably one of the greatest shocks of the late
20th century was the discovery of the fact that the
world’s environment can be so easily destroyed. It is pos-
sible that our children will see large mammals like ele-
phants or bisones only in zoos or in films. The tropical
rain forests are disappearing fast, the the ozone layer,
which protects us from harmful radiation, is disappear-
ing. I can’t help feeling worried about these processes.

My name is James, James Stone. I’m a writer.
I graduated from the University of Sussex where I
studied English Literature. In my view, the main prob-
lem of the future is basic moral values that mankind
should have. I place a partiсular emphasis on the issue
of selfishness. People need success. They also feel they
should survive in the world of IT achievements and
look for their own interests. But we are social animals
and need other people dearly. I often ask myself the
question — aren’t we too self-absorbed? Though, I ad-
mit, some people are completely selfless — they can
only give. So what will our future be like? Will it be the
society of givers or takers?
Speaker 2
I’m Kate Winslow, I’m sixteen. I think one of the
problems of the future is the problem of people’s eating
habits. Everybody seems to know the slogan “We are
what we eat”, and this is true. We live in a country of
fast food culture. We are always in a hurry. We have no
time to relax and enjoy a meal. And at the same time we
want our meals to be tasty. But what is tasty is not al-
ways healthy. Doctors say that chips and pizzas are fat-
tening, Coca-Cola damages our teeth and coffee short-
ens our lives. It’s true that many people nowadays
spend a lot of time in gyms exercising, but then they
rush to have a good snack. So eating habits may become
extremely important in the future.

A dictionary is a special kind of book that contains
varied information about words. You can learn the
meaning of words and where they come from, you can
learn how to spell words, how to say them. A dictionary
can offer some special information about words and
show how they change. There are often examples that
explain how to use words.
Speaker 2
Many words have an interesting story to tell us. Some
of them have been borrowed from foreign languages.
Some have changed their meaning great-ly since the
time they were first used. In dictionaries for children
sometimes there are special word boxes that offer short
stories in the form of word histories which are printed
below the words whose stories they tell.
Speaker 3
The words we use when we speak or write are divided
into different groups. These groups are called parts of
speech. The parts of speech are the noun, verb, adjec-
tive, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction and in-
terjection. In dictionaries a word’s part of speech is
usually indicated right after the pronunciation.

words but for many people the most important thing

days when computers meant word processing or play-
