(рейтинг и экзамен). Работа предназначена студентам, изучающим иностранный язык в цикле

Предисловие

«Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных 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 создают условия 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.
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).
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.
«Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных 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.

4. Read the text “Home is where the heart is”.

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 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.

4. Read the text «Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler».
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.
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.

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.
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 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.

4. Read the text «Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere».

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 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.
