The name "false friends» of translator
appeared in France in 1928.
After the term is studied by
some scientists in much broader
sence. Working with the information,
we came to the conclusion that
«false» words studied by scientists
of different countries and
have a long history. M. Koessler,
J. Derocquigny ,Retsker.
B. Akulenko in his book «false friends
of translator» marked 7 types of similar
words. We found in our textbooks 5.
1. English words completely match with Russian words
Magazine- журнал, а не магазин
2. English words partly match with Russian words
Element - не только элемент, но и стихия
3. Differ in grammatical form
Photograph - фотография, а не фотограф
4. Different emotional colour
Routine in English – распорядок дня, положительное значени
Routine in Russian - рутина с отрицательным значением
5. In geography
Tнe English Channel - пролив Ламанш
If you find a word that
seems similar, be careful-
it can bring surprise.
 Recommendations:
1) You should always be careful and recheck the meaning
2) One word can have different meanings, you must
choose one correct.
3) In selecting the meanings you must be based on
the style, genre and common content of the translated text.

Thus, it is necessary to have special vocabulary with

false words to avoid mistakes in translation.
So I tried to make a dictionary of" false friends “
to help to translate the pupils of our school
Thus the purpose and the objectives
of the research project have been
achieved.
The practical value of the work lies
in the possibility of using the
dictionary for English lessons.
