Phonetics

Английский алфавит

В английском языке 44 звука, а алфавит имеет 26 букв. Поэтому одна и та же буква в разных положениях может читаться как несколько разных звуков. Для точного обозначения звукового состава слова пользуются транскрипцией, т.е. такой системой графических обозначений, в которой каждому звуку соответствует один определенный знак.

Английский алфавит состоит из 26 букв. Из них 6 служат для обозначения гласных звуков: a, e, i, o, u, y. Остальные 20 букв служат для обозначения согласных звуков.

Буква	Название	Буква	Название
A a	[eı]	N n	[en]
B b	[bi:]	O o	[ou]
C c	[si:]	P p	[pı]

Правила чтения

Английские слова имеют несколько типов слогов. Однако, для понимания всей системы, необходимо запомнить и различать следующие два типа: закрытый и открытый.

Закрытый слог оканчивается на согласную: pen, cat, bus - гласная буква в слоге даёт иной звук.

Открытый слог оканчивается на гласную: game, like, stone - гласная буква в слове читается так же, как и в алфавите.

Ударение в транскрипции и словах обозначается вертикальной чёрточкой перед ударным слогом.

Одиночные гласные звуки

Типы слогов	Буквы
	a [ ei ]	o [əu ]	e [ i: ]	i [ ai ]	y [waı]	u [ju:]

Lesson 2

Greetings and Farewells

1. Study the material:

Greetings	Responses	Farewells
Good morning Good afternoon Good evening Hello Hi Hello Hi there! How are things? Long time, no see Haven’t seen you for ages Great to see you again Nice to meet you	Nice to meet you Glad to meet you Pleased to meet you It’s a pleasure to meet you	Good-Bye Bye / Bye-bye See you soon See you later See you tomorrow Good night Have a nice day Have a good weekend Good luck! Take care!
Useful Expressions	When You are Well	When You are Unwell
How are you? How are you doing? How are things? How’s everything? How it’s going? How do you do?	Fine, thank you Very well, thanks. I’m Okey All right Excellent Not bad	Not so good I am tired I feel awful A bit better

2. Read about formal and informal English greetings

1. Hey, Hey man, or Hi

You can use “hey” and “hi” to greet someone instead of “hello”. Both are particularly popular among younger people. While “hi” is appropriate to use in any casual situation, “hey” is for people who have already met. If you say “hey” to a stranger, it might be confusing for that person because he or she will try to remember when you met before! You can also add “man” to the end of “hey” when greeting males. Some people also use “hey man” to casually greet younger women, but only do this if you know the woman very well. Remember that “hey” doesn’t always mean “hello”. “Hey” can also be used to call for someone’s attention.

2. How’s it going? or How are you doing?

These are casual ways of asking “how are you?” If you’re trying to be particularly polite, stick with “how are you?” but otherwise, you can use these expressions to greet almost anyone.  The word “going” is usually shortened, so it sounds more like “go-in”. You can answer with “it’s going well” or “I’m doing well” depending on the question.  Although it’s not grammatically correct, most people just answer “good” – and you can too. Like when responding to “how are you?” you can also follow your answer by asking “and you?”.

3. What’s up?, What’s new?, or What’s going on?

These are some other informal ways of asking “how are you?” which are typically used to casually greet someone you have met before. Most people answer with “nothing” or “not much”.  Or, if it feels right to make small talk, you could also briefly describe anything new or interesting that’s going on in your life, before asking “what about you?” to continue the conversation.

4. How’s everything ?, How are things?, or How’s life?

These are some other common ways of asking “how are you?” They can be used to casually greet anyone, but most often they’re used to greet someone you already know. To these, you can answer “good” or “not bad”. Again, if small talk feels appropriate, you could also briefly share any interesting news about your life, and then ask the person “what about you?” or another greeting question.

5. How’s your day? or How’s your day going?

These questions mean “how are you?” not just right now, but how you’ve been all day. You would use these greetings later in the day and with someone you see regularly. For example, you might ask a co-worker one of these questions in the afternoon, or a cashier that you see at the grocery store every evening. “It’s going well” is the grammatically correct response, but many people simply answer with “fine”, “good” or “alright”. By the way, notice that “good”, “fine” or “not bad” are perfect answers to almost any greeting question.

6. Good to see you or Nice to see you

These casual greetings are used with friends, co-workers or family members that you haven’t seen in a while. It’s common for close friends to hug when they greet each other, particularly if they haven’t seen each other in some time; so you might use this greeting along with a hug or handshake depending on your relationship with the person.

7. Long time no see or It’s been a while

These casual greetings are used when you haven’t seen someone in a long time, particularly if you meet that person unexpectedly. How much is a long time? It depends on how often you normally see that person. For example, you could use one of these greetings if you normally see the person every week, but then don’t see them for a few months or more. Usually, these phrases are followed with a question like “how are you”, “how have you been?” or “what’s new?”

Business Greetings and Formal Greetings

It’s best to begin by using formal greetings in most business situations, and then listen to how your co-workers or business partners greet you. It’s a good idea to wait until someone speaks casually with you before you speak casually with them. You may find that people will begin to use casual greetings with you over time, as you get to know each other better. Formal greetings are also used when you meet older people.

8. Good morning, Good afternoon, or Good evening

These are formal ways of saying “hello”, which change depending on the time of day.  Keep in mind that “good night” is only used to say “good bye”, so if you meet someone late in the day, remember to greet them with “good evening”, rather than “good night”. Good morning can be made more casual by simply saying “morning”.  You can also use “afternoon” or “evening” as informal greetings, but these are less commonly used.

9. It’s nice to meet you or Pleased to meet you

These greetings are formal and polite. If you say this to someone when you meet him or her for the first time, it will make you seem courteous. Remember to only use these greetings the first time you meet someone. Next time you see the person you can show that you remember him or her by saying “it’s nice to see you again”.

10. How have you been?

This greeting question is only asked by people who have already met. If someone asks you “how have you been?” they want to know if you have been well since the last time the two of you met.

11. How do you do?

This greeting is VERY formal, and quite uncommon, but it may still be used by some older people. The proper response is “I’m doing well” or, as strange as it seems, some people even ask “how do you do?” right back as an answer.

Exercises:

№1. Complete the table using these expressions.

Good morning / See you tomorrow / See you soon / Good afternoon / What’s up? /

How are you all? / See you then / Good evening / Hello / Hey! / Take care / How's it going? / How are you? / Good-bye / Bye / Good night / See you later

Describing people

№1. Read the text and answer the questions:

How important is it for you to be attractive? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, do you think beautiful people are always happy?

I don’t think so. For example, it must be a problem to be a very beautiful woman, because some men may be more interested in looking at this woman than talking to her. They think of her like a picture rather than a person. Some people think that very pretty women and handsome men are stupid, as a rule. These people are thought to be only interested in their appearance.

Some people believe that only unattractive people can be clever. But surely no one wants to be really ugly; and no one wants to be plain either — that is to have rather simple face that can be easily forgotten. Being attractive can help you find happiness, but it does not always make you happy. So maybe the best thing is not to worry about your appearance. It is more important to try to be an interesting personality. Because interesting people are always attractive.

When we speak about somebody's figure, face, hands, feet we mean his or her appearance. A person may be tall, middle-sized or short, thin or plump. A face may be round, oval or square. In summer some people may have freckles on their faces. Old people have wrinkled faces.

People's hair may be long or short, thin or thick, good or bad, straight or curly. If it is long it is often plaited. Its colour may be black or fair, chestnut or red. Old people have grey hair. Women usually have their hair done at the hairdresser's.

Eyes may be large or small. They may be of different colour, grey, green, black, or hazel (brown).

Cheeks may be rosy or pale (if a person is ill), plump or hollow (if a person is very ill). Some people have dimples in their cheeks when they smile.

The manner of walking is called the walk (gait). One's step may be: light, heavy, firm. Old people often shuffle their feet, have a shuffling gait.

1. Why must it be a problem to be a very beautiful woman?

2. What people think that very pretty women and handsome men are stupid?

3. Can attractive people always be happy?

4. What is it more important: to be stupid and beautiful or clever but unhappy or an

attractive interesting personality?

5. Are you interested in your appearance?

6. What is appearance?

7. What can be people's face, hair, eyes, cheeks?

Lesson 5

Character

№1. Read and answer the questions:

Describing people: traits of character

There is no doubt that all people have different character traits. Sometimes you may think that you know your friend's character well just because you have been friends for ages, but one particular situation can show how wrong you were. In lots of cases people just don't know who they really are and what they are capable of. Anyway, each of us has both negative and positve character traits and wants to be a better person. In life, there is a constant battle between these two traits.

As far as I am concerned, I am emotional and easy-going. That's why it is easy for me to make new acquaintances. Besides, my friends say that I am helpful, sympathetic and kind-hearted. Well, I am supportive as well. No matter how busy I may be, I will always be there to help if I am needed. As for my negative character traits, I am lazy and stubborn. Besides, I am too touchy and vulnerable. I dislike when people criticize me because I feel as if I must be perfect. Another negative trait of character I dislike and suffer from is my hot temper. I get angry very quickly and fly into a rage. Sometimes I even can't control myself when I argue with anyone.

If you ask me to describe a person whose character I like, I would tell you about my best friend, Anna. She is sociable and cheerful. She is always in high spirits. Her optimism always cheers me up. Besides, she is clever, purposeful and hardworking. She is an excellent student and already knows three foreign languages. Moreover, she has a wide range of interests. She is fond of music, reading and painting.

As for characteristics which are the least appealing in a person, I think it is envy and hypocrisy. Unfortunately, appearances are often deceptive. It is true when they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." As for other negative characteristics I hate, I can't stand cruel and ruthless people. Moreover, I don't trust people who dislike animals. I find them cold-hearted.

1. Are you sure that you know your friend’s character very well?

2. What 2 character traits has each of us?

3. What helps her to make new acquaintances?

4. What positive and negative character traits has Lena?

5. What character traits interrupt her to be calm and reserved?

6. What character traits does her best friend Anna possess?

7. What character traits are the least appealing in a person?

1. Each of us has both negative and positive character traits.

2. I find people who dislike animals cold-hearted.

3. Appearances are never deceptive.

4. Any situation can show that you know your friend's character well.

5. Hot temper makes very quickly get angry and fly into a rage.
6. It’s very difficult for a complete extravert to make friends.

К первой группе относятся такие прилагательные, которые дают объективную оценку предмету. Допустим, мы видим деревянный стул. Он деревянный и это факт. Если вы подойдете к другому человеку и спросите о материале этого стула, он также скажет, что он деревянный.

Субъективные же прилагательные выражают ваше мнение. То есть стул этот, по вашему мнению, может быть красивым, однако, другой человек может иметь противоположное мнение.

Lesson 8

FAMILY AND FAMILY PROBLEMS

1. Read and answer the questions

A family is an essential part of our society. A family is a little world. According to researches, households of three or even four generations will become typical.

Firstly a family has things shared together like dreams, hopes and possessions. I think it is great. Besides, we need a family for comfort and protection.

Secondly a family is a place where they respect dwellers, a place where all members can enjoy the dignity of their own. Some people say that privacy is impossible in an extended family. But in my opinion trust is more important for a happy family than any other feature.

There are a lot of problems in an extended family, especially between brothers and sisters. They always treat one another badly. Of course, if you have a lot of brothers and sisters, there will be no privacy. But on the other hand, when you have no brothers or sisters, life becomes boring.

There are a lot of problems and conflicts that appear between teenagers and their parents. They don't understand each other.

Parents always want their children to be clever and learn harder. They don't bother themselves to understand their children. They are always glad when their children have trouble with things that are very valuable for them.

Parents always cheat teenagers. They say that school is very important for us and to enter an institute we should have good marks in our school-leaving certificates.

But it's not what the children want. I think that it is necessary to bridge the generation gap, and parents and children must come to an agreement.

1. What is a generation gap?
2. How should we overcome it?
3. What family is extended?
4. Do you agree that an extended family is better?

5. Is your family an extended one or not?
6. What problems are there in an extended family?
7. Do you agree that parents often cheat you?
8. Do you think that a school certificate with good results is important?
