Lesson 1

My House

№1. Read the text:

My parents got married in 1983 when the Soviet Union still existed. As you know, at Soviet Union times almost all young couples were given flats free of charge, which looked absolutely similar. The same happened to my parents. They were given a three-roomed flat in one of the sleeping quarters of our town.  But my mother tried to make our flat unlike the others.

There are three rooms, a hall, a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet and two balconies in my flat. When you enter my flat, you appear in a long hall where you can find a set of wardrobes and a big mirror.

On the right hand there is a kitchen. Our kitchen is not very big but it is very cozy. There you can find all the appliances you need in a modern kitchen. There is a fridge, a gas cooker, a microwave oven, a food processor, a mixer, a coffee maker and so on. Also there is modern furniture, a kitchen table and four chairs. The walls are decorated with embroidered pictures. There is a big window in the kitchen and that’s why this room is always full of sunlight. My family likes to spend time in the kitchen because it is the warmest and the most comfortable place in my flat.

Going along the hall, you will enter a living room (also on the right hand). This room is my father’s favourite. He likes to have a rest there, lying on the sofa and watching TV. There is a set of wardrobes and bookcases on the right side of the room. On the left side there is a sofa, two armchairs and a coffee table between them. Also there is a big TV set in front of the sofa. There is a big window and a balcony in this room. My mother likes plants very much and that’s why this room and the balcony are full of plants.

Next to the living-room you can find a children’s room. It used to be my sister’s and my room but as my sister lives separately, this room is mine now. This is the smallest room in the flat but it doesn’t diminish its advantages. There is a wardrobe, a sofa, a bookcase, a desk with a computer on it and a dressing table. There is a fluffy carpet on the floor. There are posters on the walls and pot plants on the windowsill.

Our bathroom is painted in green colours. Our bathtub and a wash basin are yellow. Our towels and bathrobes are of different colours, the rug is blue, so that’s why when you enter this room you have an impression that you are inside a rainbow.

The toilet-room is really very small. There is nothing except a toilet and a small cabinet next to it.

So, let’s move to the last room in my flat. It is at the end of the hall on your left hand. This is my parents’ room. There is a double-bed, two bedside cabinets and a big wardrobe in this room. It is painted in warm colours and it is always a pleasure to rest there, reading a book or watching TV, which is on the wall. There is the second balcony in this room.

As they say, “My home is my castle”. So my home is a real castle for me and I don’t want to have another one.

My name is Alex. I study at the Forest College. I am a full-time student. I am in my first year now.

There are full-time and part-time departments in our college. The academic session lasts 10 months. Our college trains specialists in many branches of knowledge. There are three specialties in the college: “Forest and park management”, “Maintenance and repair of engines, systems and aggregates of cars” and “Hotel business”. Our college is very cosy and spacious. There is a large and light hall, a sport gym, a training room with sport heavy equipment on the ground floor. Many subject classrooms, a rich library and a reading hall are situated on the second floor. All the rooms of our college have modern equipment: computers, TV-sets, DVD-players and interactive boards. Not far from the college it is a hostel. It is a very comfortable and cosy four-storied building for the students. Opposite the college it is a club and a canteen. During the lunch-break we go there to have dinner.

Our periods begin at 8.15 and they are over at 16.25. Our period lasts 90 minutes. As a rule, we have three or four periods every day. We study many subjects at the college. We attend lectures, seminars and have practice. Some students who have only good and excellent marks get a scholarship. We go to college five days a week. Saturday and Sunday are our days off.

Our group consists of 25 students, including our monitor. Some our groupmates live in our hostel. As a rule, almost every student of our group comes to the college before the bell rings. So we can have a chat with each other. We usually have a lot of things to talk about. After periods everybody goes home to do homework. There are many different clubs and societies at our college. I attend a sport club and a dance club.

At the end of each semester we have test, credit tests and exams. When we have passed all the tests we start to prepare for the exams. After the exams a vacation comes.

Now I can’t say that college life is a fascinating, fantastic experience. For the moment I can compare it only with a daily routine.

Preposition of place

Английские предлоги места можно поделить на две подгруппы – предлоги, указывающие на месторасположение и на движение.

Предлоги месторасположения:

in – всегда внутри чего-то;

on – на какой-либо (обычно более-менее) горизонтальной поверхности;

at – возле чего-то;

near – возле чего-то;

by – возле- чего-то;

Важно: предлоги at, near, by на первый взгляд имеют одинаковое значение, но at означает расстояние почти вплотную; near – предполагает близость с некоторой отдаленностью; by – подразумевает непосредственную близость, но в нижнем положении по отношению к говорящему.

between – показывает местонахождение между объектами или людьми;

beside – в стороне от чего-то или кого-то;

over и above – практически синонимы и обозначают положение «над»;

under – их антоним и означает «под»;

outside – обычно вне дома или помещения;

inside – внутри дома или помещения;

against – с опорой на что-то;

behind – позади кого-то/чего-то;

in front of – перед чем-то/кем-то;

ahead of – перед чем-то/кем-то (если объекты находятся более-менее на одной линии)

Предлоги, обозначающие движение

to – направление движения, часто с указанием конкретного места, но не вовнутрь;

into – предполагает движение вовнутрь;

from – показывает, откуда начинается движение, но это преимущественно отрытое пространство;

out of – движение из закрытых объектов.

Lesson 4

Plural of nouns

Способы образования формы множественного числа существительных

deer; sheep; swine; trout; cod; grouse;

bellows; series; mews; species; barracks; corps; headquarters; gallows; kennels;

4. Read the poem “Plural” (listen to it: https://youtu.be/kPCoC4V1EeY)

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes.

Then one fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese,

You may find alone mouse or a whole nest of mice,

But the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

The cow in the plural may be cows or kine,

But a bow if repeated is never called bine,

And the plural of vow is vows, never vine.

If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet,

And I give you a boot would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth, and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?

If the singular’s this and the plural is these,

Should the plural of kiss ever be nicknamed keese?

Then one may be that and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother, and also of brethren,

But though we say mother, we never say methren,

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim,

So the English, I think, you all will agree,

Is the queerest language you ever did see.

№2. Read and translate the text

My usual working days look practically the same. But I do my best to make them more interesting and useful. Life is impossible without work. Teachers and parents always say that hard work is the only way to achieve our goals.

My working day usually starts like this. At exactly 6:00 my radio alarm buzzes. Though I am not a lazybones, in winter it is always difficult for me to wake up early. I do my morning exercises every morning. I know that good health is better than wealth. After having a shower, I get dressed and brush my hair. It takes me about 40 minutes. I am in the habit of having only a light breakfast. After breakfast I grab my school bag and rush for college. Unfortunately, I live far from the college. It takes me about one hour to get there.

Sometimes my mood depends on what classes I have. On some days lessons flash by very quickly, especially if they are on the humanities or Maths, which I like most, but they drag more slowly if they are on Chemistry or Biology and especially when we have to write tests on them. Our classes start at 8:20. Usually we have seven lessons a day. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes, but the breaks are too short: only 5 or 10 minutes. Fortunately, we have a large break in the middle of the day which lasts 45 minutes. During this break we go to the canteen.

At 3 o'clock, when the classes are over, I sometimes stay at college to play football with my groupmates. In the evenings I am busy doing my homework. If I have some free time left, I go for a walk with my friends, read or watch TV. At about 8 o'clock all our family have supper. At 11:30 I take a shower and go to bed.

Lesson 6

Numerals

Числительное – это часть речи, обозначающая количество или порядок предметов. В английском языке, как и в русском, есть два вида числительных, порядковые (ordinal) и количественные (cardinal).

Количественные числительные обозначают число предметов (отвечают на вопрос «сколько?»). Порядковые числительные обозначают порядок предметов (отвечают на вопрос «который?»).

1	one	first	22	twenty-two	twenty-second
2	two	second	23	twenty-three	twenty-third
3	three	third	24	twenty-four	twenty-fourth
4	four	fourth	25	twenty-five	twenty-fifth
5	five	fifth	26	twenty-six	twenty-sixth
6	six	sixth	27	twenty-seven	twenty-seventh
7	seven	seventh	28	twenty-eight	twenty-eighth
8	eight	eighth	29	twenty-nine	twenty-ninth
9	nine	ninth	30	thirty	thirtieth
10	ten	tenth	40	forty	fortieth
11	eleven	eleventh	50	fifty	fiftieth
12	twelve	twelfth	60	sixty	sixtieth
13	thirteen	thirteenth	70	seventy	seventieth
14	fourteen	fourteenth	80	eighty	eightieth
15	fifteen	fifteenth	90	ninety	ninetieth
16	sixteen	sixteenth	100	one hundred	hundredth
17	seventeen	seventeenth	500	five hundred	five hundredth
18	eighteen	eighteenth	1000	one thousand	thousandth
19	nineteen	nineteenth	100 000	one hundred thousand	hundred thousandth
20	twenty	twentieth	1 000 000	one million	millionth
21	twenty-one	twenty-first	1 000 000 000	one billion	billionth

Цифра ноль в английском языке в зависимости от контекста может читаться по-разному: zero, o, nil.

Ноль произносится как «zero», когда ноль используется в дробях, процентах, телефонных номерах и в определенных выражениях.

O (читается, как английская буква o [əu]) – используется в обозначении годов, времени, в адресах, иногда в телефонных номерах.

Nil – используется в счете спортивных матчей.

Иногда в британском варианте английского языка встречается слово naught или nought в значении «ноль», «нуль», «ничто». Сейчас его использование в качестве цифры считается устаревшим и само слово чаще всего используется в фразеологизмах.

При счете используя сотни, тысячи, миллионы и т.д. к числительным не прибавляется окончание -s, указывающее на множественное число. Окончание -s используется, когда числительные выступают в качестве существительных (кто? что?), то есть в сочетаниях dozens of (дюжины, много), hundreds of (сотни), thousands of (тысячи) в значении «очень много».

Что нужно знать об употреблении английских числительных

Когда мы хотим сказать о номере страницы, дома, упражнения, автобуса мы можем использовать как количественные числительные, так и порядковые. Однако, при употреблении количественного числительного, числительное следует за определяемым им существительным, причем существительное употребляется без артикля.

Пример: lesson two (урок второй), page seventeen (страница семнадцатая) Когда мы употребляем порядковые числительные, порядковое числительное ставим перед существительным, и существительное уже приобретает определенный артикль the.

Пример: the second lesson (второй урок), the seventeenth page (семнадцатая страница).

Годы в английском языке обозначаются количественными числительными. Четырехзначные годы при чтении делятся пополам и эти половинки читаются как два отдельных числа. Однако, миллениумы (тысячелетия, например, 2000 г.) читаются тысячами. Годы, состоящие из трех чисел, могут также делиться и читаться как однозначное и двузначное числа, или же они могут читаться как обычное трехзначное число. Годы нынешнего столетия могут читаться как обычные четырехзначные числа.

BC – Before Christ – до Рождества Христова, до нашей эры.

AD – Anno Domini – после Рождества Христова, наша эра.

2000 BC – two thousand BC

1825 – eighteen twenty-five

1660 BC – sixteen sixty BC

1901 – nineteen o one

33 AD – thirty-three AD

2000 – two thousand

1003 – ten o three

2016 – twenty sixteen, two thousand sixteen

Проценты (percentages) в английском языке обозначаются словом percent (процент). После числительных слово percent никогда не принимает окончание множественного числа -s, так как с французского языка это слово дословно переводится как «из сотни», «на сотню».

Пример: 1% – one percent, 10% – ten percent

Для счета денег в английском языке сначала произносится число, а потом название валюты. Если число состоит из десятичной дроби, то произносится целая часть, название валюты, после которой десятичная часть (копейки) произносится как обычное число. В конце может добавляться название монеты, если оно существует.

Пример: $2 – two dollars, €14,99 – fourteen euros ninety nine (cents, euro cents), £204 – two hundred and four pounds

Номера телефонов, счетов, карт и т. д. читают не сотнями-десятками, как на русском, а отдельными цифрами:

555-757-23-11 – five, five, five, seven, five, seven, two, three, one, one.

Двойные и тройные цифры иногда называют double и triple:

555-757-23-11 – triple five, seven, five, seven, two, three, double one.

При арифметических действиях глагол to be или to equal (равняться) в большинстве случаев употребляется в форме единственного числа.

2 + 1 = 3 – two plus one is three.

5 – 4 = 1 – five minus four equals one.

20 х 2 = 40 – twenty multiplied by two is forty.

30 : 6 = 5 – thirty divided by six equals five.

В случае сложения глагол может стоять также в форме множественного числа. Также может использоваться глагол to make.

3 + 21 = 24 – three and twenty-one are twenty-four.

5 + 100 = 105 – five plus hundred equal one hundred five.

7 + 3 = 10 – seven and three make ten.

Простые дроби (fractions) в английском языке часто пишутся словами и через дефис, если в числителе или знаменателе не используется свой дефис. Для того, чтобы правильно произнести дробь на английском языке, нам надо знать и порядковые, и количественные числительные. Для числителя (numerator) используются количественные числительные, а для знаменателя (denominator) – порядковые. Знаменатель, принимает окончание множественного числа -s, если числитель больше единицы.

Пример: 1/5 – one fifth, 4/7 – four sevenths, 2 ¼ - two and one fourth/quarter

Десятичные дроби (decimals) в английском языке читаются с помощью слова point (точка), после которой все цифры читаются отдельно. Это правило не относится к счету денег.

Пример: 0.5 – zero point five, 43.75 – forty-three point seventy-five

It does not take me much time, not more than ten or fifteen minutes. Then I dress and sit down at the table to have my breakfast. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee, an egg and bread and butter.

After breakfast I go to the college. As I live far away, I go by bus or by my father’s car. It takes me more time to go by bus. If I have little time, I ask my father to pick me up and to drive me to the doors of our college building.

At 16.20 the lessons are over and I go home. When I get home from the college, I have dinner. My dinner usually consists of three courses.

For the first course I have some soup, then some meat or fish. For dessert I have stewed fruit or ice-cream. After dinner I help my mother to wash up the dishes. Then I do my home tasks. It usually takes me about two hours.

At eight o’clock I have supper. I have some salad, a slice of sausage and bread, sour milk or cereal.

Other popular occupations are surfing the Internet, playing computer games, listening to the radio, reading books (e-books), painting and so on.

Aerobics and shopping are two of the most popular pursuits for women. Cooking is also a very widespread activity among them. But nothing can be compared to your favorite hobby.

Lesson 9

Infinitive

Инфинитив (the Infinitive) – это неличная форма глагола, которая называет действие. Инфинитив является основной (или I) формой глагола и представляет глагол в словаре. Признаком инфинитива является частица to:

to help – помогать, to read – читать.

Инфинитив употребляется без частицы to в следующих случаях:

You had better go now. – Лучше уйди / иди сейчас.

I must see you at once. – Мне надо сейчас же встретиться с тобой.

Формы инфинитива

Forms	Active	Passive
Indefinite	to write	to be written
Continuous	to be writing	–
Perfect	to have written	to have been written
Perfect Continuous	to have been writing	–

Инфинитив в форме действительного залога обозначает действие, произведённое лицом, выраженным в предложении подлежащим, а в страдательном залоге – действие, направленное на это лицо.

I like to help. –  Я люблю помогать.

I like to be helped. –  Я люблю, когда мне помогают.

Инфинитив в Indefinite Active обозначает действие, не уточняя характер его протекания. Инфинитив в Continuous Active подчеркивает длительность действия.

She likes to write letters. – Она могла писать письмо.

She must be still writing. – Она, должно быть, все еще пишет.

Неперфектный инфинитив выражает действие, одновременное с действием глагола-сказуемого (или следующее за ним).

Перфектный инфинитив выражает действие, предшествующее действию, выраженному глаголом-сказуемым.

I am glad to study at the College. –  Я рад, что учусь в колледже.

I am glad to have studied at the College. – Я рад, что учился в колледже.

После глаголов love, like, dislike, hate, start, begin, continue, stop и др. может употребляться как инфинитив, так и глагол с окончанием –ing.

Например: I love to watch / watching actions films.

He likes to play / playing football.

She hates to wash / washing the dishes.

NB!	They enjoy reading. I am finishing reading this book.
	to stop doing smth – not to continue an activity to stop to do smth – to stop what are you doing in order to do smth

Lesson 10

My hobby / interests

1. Read the text:

My name is Luke. My favourite hobby is photography. When I have time I take my camera and take lots of pictures. I photograph the world around me. I take photos when I’m at my grandparents’. They live in the country, near the forest and have a big garden. It’s an ideal place for me. I get up in the morning and go to the garden or the forest. Sometimes I encounter some animals. I try to take a picture of them. At home, my Dad helps me to choose the best photos. I send them to magazines. I won a photo competition once. I’ve got a beautiful album called “wonders of the World”. Dad says we are going to our grandparents’ for the weekend. I can’t wait! I will be able to take lots and lots of photos.

I also like both computer games and board games. We have one computer at home but sometimes Dad brings home his laptop and we can play a network game.

My favourite computer games are strategy, sport and adventure games. I got my first computer two or three years ago and my first game was FIFA 2003. This is a game where you play different football teams. It was great. My favourite adventure game is Broken Sword III. As for strategy games, I like Command Conquer best.

Sometimes I have enough of my computers. But I have my board games. I can play Monopoly or Scrabble with Dad or Mum. I also have Trivia quizzes or the Millionaire. These re my favourite games that have cards with lots of questions about sport, people and the world around us. They are great!

When I’m outside with my friends we also play certain games. Not the silly games for little children, like hide-and-seek or piggy-in-the middle, but more serious things. We play pirates, who fight with each other to get the treasure or the Lord of Ring – I like to be Aragon best. And of course there is nothing better than good game of football played with your friends!
