Предисловие

факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)» представляет собой
комплекс заданий, направленных на активизацию учебно-познавательной
деятельности студентов. Структурно практикум представляет собой рабочую
тетрадь, упражнения и задания которой ориентированы на подготовку к
компьютерному тестированию как промежуточной форме контроля (рейтинг и
экзамен). Разработанные задания способствуют созданию прочной лексико-
грамматической базы английского языка и условий для формирования
коммуникативной компетенции для студентов, которым необходимо научиться
общаться в различных сферах общечеловеческой деятельности.
Целью практикума является обучение студентов самостоятельной работе над
текстами следующих направлений: социально-бытовая сфера общения, социо-
культурная сфера общения, учебно-профессиональная сфера общения.
Содержание обучения английскому языку студентов естественно-
гуманитарных и технических факультетов на первом курсе включает развитие
умения самостоятельной работы с текстами вышеназванных сфер общения и
использования их содержания в типичных ситуациях общения (описание,
повествование, рассуждение, сообщение с элементами рассуждения,
объяснение, определение, оценка).
Эффективность обучения английскому языку зависит от репрезентативности
языкового и речевого, его разнообразия и доступности для обучающихся. При
выполнении этих условий студент по окончании курса английского языка в
цикле общеобразовательных предметов должен читать и понимать тексты
различного характера с эпизодическим использованием словаря, а в области
устной речи выражать свои мысли по-английски в наиболее типичных
ситуациях общения при некоторой дополнительной подготовке.
В связи с тем, что рейтинг и экзамен традиционно проводится
компьютерным тестированием, возникает вопрос о поиске новых, более
эффективных методов и приемов обучения студентов. И, прежде всего, это
вопрос о решении о соотношении обучения устной речи и подготовки к
компьютерному тестированию по английскому языку на неспециальных
факультетах.
Необходимо признать, что, в целом, студенты первого курса имеют
достаточно высокую мотивацию изучения английского языка. Но уровень
подготовки студентов неоднороден. В одной учебной группе могут находиться
студенты с владением иностранным языком уровня А1 и В1. Методики
подготовки к экзамену в устной форме и методом компьютерного тестирования
различаются.
3
В связи с вышеизложенным возникла необходимость в разработке
«Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов
(в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)»
Введение
При обучении иностранному языку в цикле общеобразовательных

дисциплин языковая подготовка в вузе должна осуществляться в комплексе,
что относится ко всем умениям и навыкам. Как известно, согласно учебному
плану студенты изучают в вузе иностранный язык на первом курсе в цикле
общеобразовательных дисциплин.
Процесс обучения английскому языку определяется целью приобретения
учащимися определенного объема знаний в области грамматики, говорения,
чтения и аудирования.
В «Практикуме по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных
факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)» предпринята попытка
дать в руки студентов такой инструментарий для постоянной работы с
иностранным языком, который бы постоянно поддерживал интерес и развивал
мотивацию в данном направлении.
Целью данной работы является оказание студентам помощи в овладении
системой языка и способами ее использования в межкультурно-
коммуникативной деятельности, а также в подготовке к экзамену в форме
компьютерного тестирования.
В «Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных
факультетов»» включены следующие темы:
1. Actions speak louder than words (составитель Кульниязова Ж.Б.).
2. My home is my castle (составитель Сагиева Г.Б.).
3. Home is where the heart is (составитель Сагиева А.Т.).
4. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simple (составитель
Абнасирова А.).
5. My home –Kazakhstan (составитель Турмагамбетова Г.Н.).
6.Astana – the new capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan (составитель
Турмагамбетова Г.Н.).
7. My Discovery of Great Britain (составитель Умирзакова С.Е.).
8. If you are tired of London you are tired of life (составитель Сагиева А.Т.).
9.A day of travelling will bring a basket of learning (составитель Масалимова
А.С.).
10. Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere». (составитель
Масалимова А.С.).
Все блоки ««Практикума по английскому языку для студентов
неспециальных факультетов» выстроены по одной схеме:
1.Чтение: предтекстовые задания (1,2,3), текст и вопросы к тексту (4,5),
лексические задания к тексту (5,7).
4
2.Грамматика: грамматические задания коммуникативного характера
(8,9,10,11,12,13,14).
3. Говорение: описание ситуации согласно теме (15).
4.Тест: тестовые задания закрытого типа (30) с полным охватом содержания
темы.
Необходимым элементом учебного процесса наряду с получаемой

информацией, ее отработкой является контроль знаний учащихся. Конечной
целью «Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных
факультетов» является подготовка к компьютерному тестированию.
Компьютерное тестирование отвечает концепции модернизации и
компьютеризации системы образования и имеет ряд положительных качеств, к
которым можно отнести быстрое получение результатов и достаточно
высокий уровень объективности в оценке знаний.
В ходе проведения компьютерного тестирования можно получить
достоверную информацию о владении студентами определенными умениями и
навыками. Преподаватель имеет возможность соотнести данные тестирования
с поставленными на данном этапе задачами обучения и провести
своевременную коррекцию процесса усвоения новых знаний.
факультетов» предлагается использовать в учебном процессе в качестве
рабочей тетради студента для подготовки к компьютерному тестированию.
Кроме того, предусматривается развитие умения извлечения информации из
учебных текстов, описание ситуации или события в форме ряда
последовательных утверждений в рамках базовых тем социально-бытовой,
социально-культурной и учебно-профессиональной сфер общения с
преломлением через собственный опыт восприятия, подготовка доклада по
заданной тематике.

Everyone likes dreaming. Dream is a hope for better things. It helps us to

overcome the difficulties of our daily routine. A dream depends on people, on their
education, nationality, character and other things. People imagine they have a lot of
money, own family, an expensive car. Other people imagine themselves to be
presidents of different countries or whole planets, etc.
I'd like to tell you about the house of my dream. I'd like to have my own house on the
bank of a beautiful river with crystal water, surrounded by high mountains, covered
with green forest of evergreen trees.
I would live there with my wife and two children. I imagine my house to be a 2
storeyed building. Near the front side it has a facade with columns and steps up to the
front door. There are also two balconies and a terrace in my house. The windows are
in the shape of arches. Through them you can see a wonderful landscape. There are
lots of fir trees and flowers around the house. And you can walk in the shade of these
trees listening to the birds singing.
As you come through the front door, you find yourself in a large hall with an
open fireplace. One of the doors leads to the living room. This room faces the south,
so it's very sunny and has a lovely view of the whole valley. In the middle of this
room there's a thick Persian carpet.
There are few units of furniture in this room. On the left there's a leather sofa
and small table nearby, on the right you can see home cinema and satellite receiver.
There are two armchairs and a wardrobe in the corner of this room. In the living room
we spend our evenings chatting with each other, children play with a kitten.
Then a wide staircase takes you to the first floor where there are four bedrooms.
My children's rooms are really vast. The wallpapers are very colourful in bright
shapes. Also there are lots of toys to play with.
In the basement there is a big garage for our cars. We have got two cars: one for
me and one for my wife.
Behind the house there is a swimming bath, covered with glass. There are some
plastic armchairs around the swimming bath. Our house looks peaceful and calm and
the calmest room is my study. Next door to the study there is our library. It is a huge
room with two bookcases. Someone might think that it is an antagonism, because
22
everything we want to read we can receive via Internet, but I like real books, to
handle them in my hands, to read them page by page. As for my children, they prefer
associating with their friends.
We have many different electrical appliances in our house. They make our life
more comfortable. Also we have some robots to help us. They look after the house,
grow vegetables in our garden and involved in cooking. So, we enjoy having greens
and fresh vegetables on our dinner table during long winters. Our house is a beautiful
place at any time of the year. In winter it's warm and cosy, in summer there is so
much to do outside.

On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.30 and my working day begins.
I'm not an early riser, that's why it's very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially
in winter. I switch on my tape-recorder and do my morning exercises. Then I go to
the bathroom, take a warm shower, clean my teeth and shave. After that I go to my
bedroom to get dressed.
Usually my mother makes breakfast for me. But when she is away on business or
just doesn't have to get up early, I make breakfast myself. While having breakfast, I
listen to the latest news on the radio.
I leave the house at 7.30 and go to the nearest underground station. Last year I
tried to enter Moscow University, but unfortunately I failed my entrance
examinations. So I thought I should work somewhere. It wasn't easy to find a job, but
I managed to get a position of a secretary in a small business company.
They agreed to take me because I had studied typewriting, computing and business
organization at school. And besides, I passed my English school leaving exam with
an excellent mark.
It takes me an hour and a half to get to work. But I don't want to waste my time
on the train. I've got a small cassette-player and I listen to different texts and
dialogues. Sometimes I read a book and retell it silently. If I come across an
interesting expression I try to memories it. I also write some English words on
flashcards and learn them.
I usually arrive at work at ten minutes to nine though my working day begins at 9
sharp. There are always some fax messages to translate from English into Russian.
Sometimes my boss wants me to write a letter to our business partners abroad. There
are also a lot of phone calls which I have to answer.
30
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon we have lunch. We usually have lunch in a small cafe
just round the corner. At 2 o'clock we come back to work. And we work hard till 5
o'clock. During the working day we also have several short coffee breaks. But
sometimes we have no time for them.
I come home at about 7 o'clock in the evening. My parents are usually at home,
waiting for me. We have dinner together. Then we sit in the living room, drink tea,
watch TV or just talk. Occasionally I have to stay at work till 6 or even 7 o'clock in
the evening. When we have a lot of things to do we go to work on Saturdays. So by
the end of the week I get very tired. All I can do on Sundays is to sleep till eleven
o'clock, watch television, listen to music and read something in English.
And still I always look forward to my next working day because I like my job. I
think I get a lot of useful experience.

On the 10th of December 1997, the city of Akmola has declared the capital of the

Akmolinsk was founded in 1830 as a military fortress. In 1862, it became the city
of Akmolinsk because of its ever-growing importance as it was on the trading way
from Tashkent to the Urals. During the October Socialist Revolution in 1917,
Akmolinsk was a revolutionary center.

lands development Akmolinsk became to know all over the world. The whole Soviet
Union helped our republic to build Akmolinsk became was renamed into
Tselinograd. From 1962 to 1965 Tselinograd was the administrative center to
Tselinnyi Region, which consisted of five Northern provinces of Kazakhstan. The
wheat grown in the fields of these provinces was highly valued on the London stock
exchange. In the Soviet time Kazakhstan produced I milliard pood of high quality
wheat due to the virgin lands development.
At present many different branches of industry such as machine – buildings, food,
consumer goods production and building materials industries are well developed and

are five universities in the city, among them the State Euro-Asian University named
after N. Gumilev. There are two theatres – the Russian Drama Theatre named after

population is about 500 thousand people.

The island of Great Britain contains three “nations” which were separated at

Scotland is the most northern part of the island of GB. Scotland is divided into
three parts: the Highlands, the Lowlands, and the Southern Uplands. There are a lot
of valleys and lakes in this region; the best known lake is Loch Ness.
The capital of Scotland is Edinburg, but the biggest city is Glasgow. Shipbuilding is
the leading industry here. But other industries such as steel engineering and coal
mining are highly developed too.
Wales is a highland country of old, hard rocks. North Wales is a country of
mountains and deep valleys. South Wales is a land of high hills. The capital of Wales
is Cardiff. Such industries as coal-mining, steel production, electronics, and electrical
engineering are developed in this part of the country.
The Welsh are fond of folk music, singing and poetry. Welsh literature is one of
the oldest in Europe.
Northern Ireland occupies one-sixth of the territory of the United Kingdom. The
main industrial center and a port is Belfast. Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland.
The largest industry is agriculture.
Great Britain is a country with old cultural traditions and customs. The most famous
educational centers are Oxford and Cambridge Universities. They are considered to
be the intellectual centers of Europe. The education is not free, it is very expensive.
The United Kingdom is a monarchy and the Queen is the head of the state. But in
practice it is ruled by the elected government with the Prime Minister at the head.
The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House
of Commons.
There are three main political parties in Great Britain: the Labor, the Conservative
and the Liberal parties. The Labor party is the ruling party nowadays.
London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and commercial
center. It is one of the largest cities in the world. London is situated on the river

4. Read the text “If you are tired of London you are tired of life”.
London is the capital of England, the capital of Great Britain, and the capital of
the United Kingdom. It is the largest town in Europe and one of the oldest towns in
the world. The old Celts gave it its name, the Romans made it the centre of their new
colony, the Germanic invaders tried to burn and to destroy it, the victorious Normans
made it the capital of the country.
The central part of London is full of historical remains. Nearly every building,
every bridge, every street, palace, house, and stone — each of them has its own story,
its own past. In London past and present are so mixed together that they cannot easily
be separated and when you are in London you see the past in the present and the
present in the past. The oldest part of London is called the City. In the City the streets
and pavements are very narrow and the traffic is very heavy on weekdays. That is
because the most important London firms and banks have offices there. But at
weekends the City is almost dead.
The most fashionable and the most expensive part to live in is the West End. It is
situated between the City and Hyde Park. The City and the West End are the heart of
London; they are the parts which everybody who comes to London must see and
wants to see, because they are more interesting than any other part of London. All the
most interesting buildings, shops and offices are situated here.
The Tower of London, the Bank of England, the Mansion House where the Lord
Mayor lives, the Law Courts, and many interesting old churches are situated in the
City. The Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the National
Gallery and many theatres and good shops are in the West End.
64
London has many bridges over the Thames, more than twenty but the most
interesting of them all is the Tower Bridge situated near the Tower of London. The
Tower of London is an old castle, with high walls, high towers, small windows and
large gardens. Once it was a royal residence, a strong fortress and a state prison. Here
many important people, among them two wives of Henry VIII, were imprisoned and
beheaded.
One of the oldest and the most famous places of London is St. Paul’s Cathedral.
It has been destroyed and rebuilt several times since the original construction in the
7th century. It stands in the centre of the so-called Little Britain. A large part of Little
Britain was destroyed during the war: the houses that were close to the Cathedral’s
walls disappeared and for the first time in centuries St. Paul’s Cathedral’s beauty can
be seen.

4.Read the text “ A day of travelling will bring a basket of learning”.
Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and visit
the seven continents of the world. They wander through the castles and museums of
Europe, and the cities and natural wonders of North and South America. Some visit
the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The great outback of
Australia is a wonderland for those who go there. And a few lucky people even go to
the most mysterious continent on the earth- Antarctica.
Why do people want to explore the world? It gives them a better perspective about
the earth and the people living on it. It opens their minds, it gives them a feeling of
accomplishment, and it makes them feel alive.
I wanted to go abroad last year, perhaps to the South America, and I finally decided
to go to Brazil. If you book ahead, you can get incredibly good deals with the
budget airlines. For example, flights from as low as € 1! But you must reserve
your seats early. I booked the flight with Air Astana. I needed an accommodation
too, so I looked on the Internet for hotels in Manaus. I found a nice one and decided
to stay there for the first week. I also had to get a visa, and I got some foreign
currency. I paid €200 for travel insurance; you never know, I might be ill or lose my
73
things . I packed my suitcase, took my passport , hired a taxi to airport and left
home.
In the search for the world`s most amazing hotels, I visited the hotel in the
rainforest. Ariau Amazon Towers is one of the most incredible hotels I`ve ever
stayed in. It`s in the middle of the Amazon rainforests in Brazil, about 60 kilometers
from Manaus, the nearest city. What makes it so special is that most of the hotel is
up in the trees- 30 meters above the ground! There are two excellent restaurants and
after dinner you can go for a drink in one of four treetop bars. Or you can go
swimming in one of the hotel`s beautiful pools and watch the monkeys and birds in
the trees above you.
There are a lot of things to do nearby. I went for a long walk in the rainforest with
an excellent local guide and saw plants, trees, birds and animals of every description.
You can also go on a boat trip along the river Amazon and go fishing for piranhas.
Every day is an adventure- I was never bored in the three days I was there. It rains a
lot from December to June, so the best time to visit it is from July to November. So
save some money, get your passport ready, and see the world. It will change your life
forever.

Hello, my name is Alan and I’m a student at Aktobe State University.

I passed my school exams with good marks and left school at 18. Now I am at
university. To get into university is quite hard. You have to study very hard at school
and you have to know a lot about science. You have to work hard for quite a few
years. In Kazakhstan was adopted a western model of higher education system- a 4
years course of studies with getting the Bachelor degree after graduation and a 2
years course of study with getting the Master's degree after graduation.
I`m doing a degree in computer sciences. The course lasts four years, and there are
two fifteen-week terms in every year. Terminal examinations are held in December
and in May. Most people who receive a university place are given a grant by the
government to help pay their fees and living expenses.
Learning, like many other activities, involves a complex set of skills that require
practice. If you are an undergraduate at university in Kazakhstan, you spend a lot of
time studying alone, but you also have to attend a lot of seminars and lectures and
take notes. You have to read widely and you have to express your opinions on a range
of academic topics. In order to become a prosperous student, you must have the
ability to manage your time. At university you can be flexible with your schedule,
you have to get out of bed in time for lectures, do your work on time, and plan your
revision period before exams. It’s important to come to your lessons on time so that
you don’t miss anything.
I enjoy academic subjects like history and English. At English lessons we discuss a
lot of topics and develop our thinking skills. Also we have to write essays and pass
82
exams. If you need a help, you can ask your tutor for advice on your work. The marks
you get for your home assignment go towards your final results.
I like my subject, informatics, and it will be useful to me in the future. Learning
mathematics and science often presents unique study skills. I work hard and enjoy
my study. I think my GPA will be great this semester.
In Kazakhstan many university students live away from home. This means they get
the freedom and opportunity to meet new people. Most students live in a hall of
residence in their first year, where they are less likely to be homesick or lonely. Many
students find part-time jobs to help pay the bills.
I’m quite busy so I`m always short on time. However I can still go to the gym, I
can still play football with my friends and still play other sports and music as my
spare time. Overall, I’m having a good time. If I pass my final exams, I'll get my
degree. If I do well, I can do research to get Master`s degree. A good degree will get
me a good job.
