Предисловие

Пособие «Английский язык для студентов музыкальных специальностей» разработано в соответствии с рабочей учебной программой по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» по направлению 050100 Педагогическое образование (Музыкальное образование), разработанной кафедрой ИЯ УрГПУ.

Основная цель настоящего пособия состоит в формировании у студентов необходимого и достаточного уровня языковой коммуникативной компетенции для решения социально-коммуникативных задач в различных областях бытовой, культурной, профессиональной и научной деятельности при общении с зарубежными партнерами, а также для дальнейшего самообразования.

Основная задача пособия - обеспечить максимально целесообразное, эффективное и экономное начало обучения, так как качество обучения на начальном этапе является определяющим фактором во всем последующем процессе овладения иностранным языком. Именно от качества начала обучения будет зависеть, сможет ли обучающийся последовательно и эффективно пополнять свои знания и совершенствовать умения и навыки.

Задача развития познавательных процессов личности нашла свое отражение как в отборе текстов, так и в системе упражнений, где преобладают интеллектуально нагруженные задания, при этом принцип мотивации обучения положен в основу организации всего учебного процесса.

Каждый модуль рассчитан на прохождение в течение одной пары (2 академических часа). Пособие состоит из 14 учебных модулей.

Тематика текстов учебника и множество заданий творческого и дискуссионного характера рассчитана на то, чтобы создать дополнительный психологический стимул для занятий иностранным языком.

Таким образом, данное пособие учитывает новые методические подходы в теории и практике обучения иностранным языкам в нашей стране и за рубежом. Пособие рассчитано на студентов первого курса музыкальных специальностей, изучающих английский язык, а также на всех, кто желает овладеть основами английского языка для музыкальных специальностей.

About myself

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Anna. I am seventeen. I live in Yekaterinburg and it’s my native city.

As to my appearance I am tall and thin. My face is round and I have a fair complexion. I have large blue eyes, and my hair is black, straight and long.

I think that I'm even-tempered, reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become angry or sad. I like staying alone. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it.

I was born on the 25th of April 1995 in the city of Yekaterinburg where I live now together with my parents and my younger brother. I was born in a family of a teacher and a doctor. I went to school when I was 7, and there I was very good at History, Russian literature and English. I really tried hard in them. But I was quite bad at Math.

I have just left school and now I am finally a student of the Ural State Pedagogical University. I am going to be a music teacher. I like my future profession and I am going to do my best to become a good specialist.

I haven't got any special hobby, like collecting something but I'm fond of reading books. And of course I like music. I'm fond of music of the 60-s, like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Prestly. The songs of the Beatles give me much delight and pleasure. If I have some free time, I go to the cinema. I don’t like television. My favourite sport is ice-skating. My friends and I often get together to play different games, to go for a walk or to the disco.

7. Определите, верно ли утверждение, неверно или в тексте нет такой информации:

Anna is very tall and quite fat.

She likes collecting stamps.

She is very good at Math.

Anna hasn’t got any sense of humor.

Her favourite sport is ice-skating.

She enjoys music of the 60s.

There are four people in her family.

She is a theatre-goer.

8. Расположите утверждения в том порядке, в каком они следуют в тексте:

I was very good at History, Russian literature and English;

Let me introduce myself;

I like staying alone;

I have large blue eyes;

If I have some free time, I go to the cinema. I don’t like television;

I am finally a student of the Ural State Pedagogical University.

My family

Let me tell you a few words about my family, the way I live and the things I like to do most of all. Well, my name is Anna. I’m 17 years old. My family is not big. I have got a mother, a father and a brother. So, there are four of us.

My father is a businessman. His name is Alex. He is forty-five years old. He is a clever man, optimistic and has a good sense of humor. When he is free he prefers to read or watch TV.

My mother is two years younger than my father. She works at school. My mother’s name is Tanya. She is very kind-hearted and beautiful. She runs the house in our family. We like the way she cooks. In the evening she often knits while watching TV.

My younger brother Andrey looks very much like my father. He is very cheerful and easy-going. He is only 5 years younger than me. We are on good terms with each other.

I also have got some cousins but I can’t say that we are very close.

This summer I entered the Ural State Pedagogical University. I decided to take music studies. At present I live in a hostel and I’m very busy during the day. My working day begins early. I have to wake up at 7 o’clock as my studies start at 8.30. My breakfast is usually light, as I don’t have time to do it myself. As a rule I go to the university by trolley-bus, but if the weather is good I go on foot. It takes me 15 minutes to get there. We have three or four periods a day. At 12.30 we have a dinner break. My friends and I go to the canteen. Our classes are over at 15.30 and I go home. At home I have supper and read up for my lectures or seminars. I have got lots of friends and we spend free time together.

As for me I have got different interests. I enjoy reading. I read mostly fiction and magazines. I’m fond of thrillers, detectives and humorous stories by modern writers. I can’t imagine my life without music. It helps me to relax, forget the problems of everyday life. According to my mood music may be either underground club or instrumental and classic.

I like going to the cinema from time to time. But more often I watch video at home in a cozy chair. I prefer watching mostly comedies and thrillers and adore cartoons.

Our flat

I live in Yekaterinburg in a block of flats. It’s a typical Yekaterinburg 16-storey building. We don’t live in the centre of Yekaterinburg, but we live not far from the underground. It takes us 20 minutes to get to the centre of the city and 5 minutes to get to the Ural State Pedagogical University. There are three rooms in our flat and we have all modern conveniences. The building is centrally heated; there is cold and hot water in our flat. We have good kitchen and bathroom facilities. There is a big living room and two bedrooms in our flat. My brother and I share one big bedroom. There are two beds, a couple of very comfortable chairs and a lot of space for us to keep our things. In the hall there is a little corner where our computers live. And in the living room there is a video and a fantastic television. Our windows look down on a football pitch, which is occasionally (иногда, изредка) used by schoolchildren. A lot of trees are visible from our windows and we can see the top of the church too.

One of the greatest advantages of our flat is that our block of flats isn’t next to any big roads. So we get virtually no noise from outside. We live on the 12th floor. And I like living high up, because a lot of light comes in. I like to have more sunlight coming in.

My mother always keeps fresh flowers in our flat. They make our flat feel alive. My mother waters them regularly, and I think they are happy, as they are well taken care of.

There is always a very nice family atmosphere in our flat. Our parents are very friendly. And besides, every little detail, every picture on the walls, every vase of flowers gives the place a homely atmosphere. So I can say that our flat is very cosy.

11. Прочитай информацию ниже и узнай, что такое резюме и как его составить:

В последнее время при устройстве на работу часто требуется резюме, под которым подразумевается краткое изложение опыта и сути профессиональной деятельности претендента на вакантную должность. Цель резюме - получение приглашения на собеседование, т.е. на очное знакомство с потенциальным работодателем.

Резюме должно быть подробным, но не слишком длинным. На его чтение должно быть затрачено не более трех минут. Оптимальный объем резюме - не более полутора листов печатного текста.

Если говорить о составлении резюме на английском языке, то необходимо отметить, что наряду со словом «resume» часто встречается словосочетание «curriculum vitae», либо аббревиатура «c.v.». Пусть вас это не смущает, т.к. это лишь два названия одного и того же документа.

Итак, прежде всего, сверху посередине листа укажите ваше имя, адрес и телефон. Далее, резюме обычно состоит из следующих главных пунктов:

Personaldetails

Education

Business experience

Special qualifications

Interests and skills

Рассмотрим содержание этих пунктов.

Personaldetails

1. Дата и место рождения (Date of birth; Place of birth).

2. Семейное положение (Merital status).

- женат/замужем (married);

- не женат/не замужем (single);

- разведен/разведена (divorced).

Здесь также необходимо указать наличие детей (Children).

3. Гражданство (Citizenship).

Здесь укажите страну, гражданином которой вы являетесь.

Education

В этом пункте необходимо указать все учебные заведения, в которых вы когда-либо учились, включая общеобразовательную школу. Укажите дату начала и окончания учебы и присвоенную квалификацию.

Будьте внимательны! При перечислении учебных заведений (далее, также, и мест работы) необходимо соблюдать обратный хронологический порядок. То есть, первым указывается то образование, которое вы получили сравнительно недавно.

Business experience

Соблюдая обратный хронологический порядок, укажите время и место работы, название вашей должности. Если у вас есть какие-либо научные труды, публикации, изобретения и т.д., не забудьте указать и их.

Special qualifications

В этом пункте укажите дополнительные квалификации, полученные вами на факультативах, курсах и т.п. Если таковые отсутствуют, в резюме этот пункт можно не включать.

Interests and skills

В этом пункте дайте о себе дополнительную информацию, как то:

владение иностранными языками

навыки работы на компьютере

наличие водительских прав

Укажите, также, клубы, ассоциации, членом которых вы являетесь, свои увлечения и интересы. Но помните, что представленная информация должна быть избирательной, касающейся ваших профессиональных и деловых качеств. Необходимо сделать акцент на том опыте и на тех ваших качествах и умениях, которые помогут вам в выполнении возможных обязанностей на данном рабочем месте.

Иногда к резюме прилагается сопроводительное письмо (Coveringletter).

В некоторых случаях прилагается также письмо-рекомендация (A Letter of Recommendation).

My day

As many people I have different timetables on weekdays and weekends. I think that it is very important to go to bed before midnight and to get up quite early in the morning, especially (особенно) on weekdays. So you can do everything you plan to do. My major duty is to study at the university. My classes usually begin at 8.30 o'clock.

Every day I get up at half past six. I take a cool shower then go jogging to the park near my place. So I do jogging for about thirty minutes and then do some exercises.

I return home at about 7.15, take a shower and then have breakfast. I like to talk with my parents while having breakfast.

After breakfast I put all the necessary books into my bag and get dressed. I leave home at 8.05. I get to my university by tram. My classes usually finish at 3.30 p.m. When classes are over I go to the music teacher and take guitar lessons.

I come home at 6 o'clock. I have dinner and start doing my homework at 7 o'clock. If I have some spare time after doing homework, I play the guitar, read some books or surf the Net. I go to bed at about half past eleven. On weekends I usually get up at 8 o'clock and do the same things I do on weekdays except going to the university. At 12 o'clock I rehearse with the rock band where I play the guitar. Our rehearsal ends in the evening.

On weekends I can stay at home and read books, or go somewhere with my friends.

Leisure time

The problem of leisure time is important today. People may also have their special interests and hobbies to occupy themselves in their free time: writing, painting, reading, computer programming, gardening, mountaineering, walking, working with wood or paper, learning languages, collecting something. Each person chooses his or her own way of spending free time, either passive or active.

But sometimes we do not know how to plan our time. We feel bored. You must only wish to do things. Frankly speaking I must say that I don’t have much free time. My studies take almost all time of the day. But I try to find some time to devote to my favorite pastime and hobbies.

To begin with, I’d like to say a few words about music and its role in my life. Music is a part of my daily life. I prefer popular contemporary music but I never deny the beauty of classical music. I go to the concerts of my favorite singers. I also have got a DVD at home. I am fond of fantastic films.

One of the ways of spending pastime is reading. Books can’t be substituted by anything else in life. There are books of all kinds: poems, novels, biographies, books on history. I enjoy reading science fiction. These books raise serious problems of our life and our future.

Speaking about my leisure time I can’t but mention sport. Physical exercises, that’s what I need after a hard working day. I am fond of swimming and playing tennis.

During the summer or winter holidays I prefer to spend leisure time traveling. I prefer to do on a hike to some picturesque places with a company of my best friends. Traveling is the most popular and exciting way of spending leisure time.

I think that my leisure time should bring happiness to my life. I’d like to say that tastes differ. Pastimes and hobbies are numerous: reading, TV, music, sport, museums, theatres, cinemas, Internet and etc. Just choose!

My friend

To begin with, a man can have different friends. The English say that man’s best friend is his dog. Sometimes we say that books are our best friends.

I think I am not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily. I agree that the old friend is better than the two new ones. I am loyal to the friends I make and I expect the same loyalty in turn.

I’d like to stress that a real friend is not only a playfellow or a helpmate. As the proverb puts it, a friend in need is a friend indeed. To my mind, a friend is a person dear to you, whom you trust and respect. I am lucky to have got such a friend as Helen. I made friends with her in the kindergarten and our friendship has been lasting since.

At first I would like to tell you a few words about Helen’s appearance. She is a very good-looking girl, with beautiful blond hair and bright wide-opened hazel eyes.

You need just to have a look at her to understand that she is a kind, sincere and open-hearted girl. She is lively, amusing and always interesting. She is always the centre of attention, but she is well-balanced and doesn’t let it go to her head. If she promises something, she always keeps her word. I am sure she will never let me down.

We have many common interests. We both like reading books, going to the theatre, playing tennis. We both dream to become musicians. Moreover, our tastes do not differ, in fact, they are the same.

Lena often helps me with my English as she did better than me at school.

Sometimes she is too quick to get angry and too slow to cool down. When she loses her temper, it is better to keep away from her. In fact, any person has certain drawbacks, and neither she nor I are the exceptions from this general rule. But we do our best not to permit them to interfere with our friendship which I hope will last forever.

My hobby

Many people have hobbies. For some of them it is quite a natural thing to occupythemselves with something during free time. They may collect different objects such as stamps, postcards, coins, autographs of celebrities and other things which delight their owners. Other people invent hobbies for themselves because they think that it is just socially correct. They think that if they mention at some gathering that they have a collection of early Egyptian manuscripts, other people will immediately begin to respect them.

In many cases hobbies are an expensive enterprise. I know a man who collects coins. He spends half his salary to obtain some rare banknote.

Other people’s hobbies are dangerous. For example, fishing in the winter on frozen lakes and rivers.

I know that most people develop taste for collecting things in childhood and that in mid-twenties they abandon this habit. Only a smaller percentage of grown-ups continue to collect various objects.

However, having a hobby can be interpreted in a broader sense – how one likes to spend one’s free time. If we take this definition of hobbies, one should admit that every person must have at least one. Otherwise if someone asks you what your favorite pastime is, and you will answer that you don’t know, it will look weird.

My hobby is very simple. I like reading books. I read different books: science-fiction, detective stories, and historical novels. I like short stories. And I am still amazed at how authors manage to tell a long story on a few pages, while others fail to do it in a thick volume.

My other hobby is collecting CDs with my favorite music. I started my collection in early childhood and still continue it, even if we can have music without CDs.

I think that everyone should have some hobby, because, remember the proverb? All work and no play make Jack a dull boy!

Your record company gives you lots and lots of money. What do you do?

Buy new houses and cars for all your family; buy a boat and lots of new clothes for you.

Books in my life

Books can fit almost every need, temper, or interest. Books are more personal and more impersonal than professors. Books have an inner confidence which individuals seldom show. Books are infinitely diverse; they run the gamut of human activity. Books can express every point of view; if you want a different point of view, you can read a different book. Reading is probably the most important skill you will need for success in your studies. You will have to read large assignments in different subjects with varying degrees of detail and difficulty. If you read inaccurately, you will fail to understand some of the information and ideas you read. If you read slowly, you will have to spent too much time reading your assignments so that your other work may suffer.

I'm fond of reading. Usually I borrow books from the library, but I have a lot of them at home, too. I like to read books about the history of our country, about famous people and the life of my contemporaries abroad. Literature means much in my life. It helps to form the character and the world outlook, to understand life better.

There are some names in Russian and foreign literatures that are very dear to me. In Russian literature I value Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev highly. For me he is a real intellectual and aristocrat, a man of culture, devoted to literature, music and painting. Though he lived abroad for a long time he didn't stop to be a Russian writer for a moment.

He created a number of national characters in his books. The image of Turgenev's woman, deeply feeling, faithful and tender is an ideal of a Russian woman for me. It doesn't lose its charm even today. Turgenev's descriptions of nature are delightful too. Take for example his "Byezhin Prairie", "Torrents of spring" etc.

Turgenev's prose is very poetic. His style is perfect; his dialogues are easy-read, interesting, life-like, and yet always significant. One may think that Turgenev is too balanced, too poetic for the new age, but one must admit that these are the qualities we badly lack today.

Of the present day writers and poets I like Eugene Evtushenko, Valentin Rasputin, Valentin Pikul, Boris Vasilyev, Tatyana Tolstaya, Andrei Dementyev. Their books are very humane and realistic. They assert high moral principles into life. And this is very important nowadays.

My favorite foreign writer is O'Henry. In childhood I was deeply impressed by his story "The Last Leaf". Since then I bear in my heart the image of a young girl suffering from incurable illness and her friends doing everything they can to give her hope and bring back to life. The author penetrates deeply into a person's soul and reveals its best qualities. He obviously sympathizes with common people, describes their feelings to other people, their warm-heartedness and kindness.

Sport in my life

Most of our contemporaries pay much attention to fitness. Being the best way to it, various sorts and sporting activities are growing in popularity.

Sport is very important in our life. First of all, it helps us in everyday life. The Greeks used to say, “A sound mind is in a sound body”. Millions of people who go in for sports know from their own experience that this famous saying is true. At the same time a great number of people don’t go in for sports. Some of them realize that sport is useful but prefer watching sport competitions on TV to going in for sports themselves. Some people consider sport just a waste of time.

Still many people go in for sport activities. There is a greatnetwork of sport clubs offering a great choice of sports. They have necessary facilities, equipment and coaching. The most popular outdoor winter sports are shooting, hunting, ice-hockey, skiing, and tobogganing. Some people greatly enjoy figure-skating and ski-jumping.

Summer provides excellent opportunities for swimming, boating, cycling and many other sports. Among outdoor games football takes the first place in public interest, this game is played in all the countries of the world. Other popular games are volleyball, basketball, badminton, and tennis.

All year round many people do boxing, wrestling, athletics, gymnastics and track and field events. Chess is the most popular among indoor games.

The abilityto play games well is highly appreciated among the English people. Most Englishmen consider themselves good sportsmen. This is not surprising because England has been the house of sports for centuries. Cricket, golf, tennis and football are English national games. Almost every Englishman plays cricket and football, every large town in England has a cricket club. Football, namely soccer, has spread all over the world. Tennis probably takes the first place in public favour. In London every park has grounds for playing tennis.

I do not know anything more exciting than tennis; in my opinion, tennis is the most interesting kind of sports. I have been playing tennis since childhood. It helps me to become stronger and physically developed. By the way, going in for sports always makes people more organized and better disciplined in their daily activities.

Art in my life

Art plays an important role in our life. In the variety of its forms – cinema, television, theatre, music, and literature – it develops our artistic taste and helps to appreciate beauty, to solve the eternal problem of good and evil. It enriches our life emotionally and spiritually.

Hundreds of years ago theatre was the only attraction and enjoyed universal popularity. But with the invention of cinema, radio and TV theatre has lost its prominent position. Now it is television that attracts millions. Theatre has become the entertainment for the elite, a fashionable pastime for those who really love it. To get tickets to the best theatres where famous actors star is almost impossible.

Some people enjoy occasional visits to the theatre. They look forward to seeing an opera, a ballet, a comedy, a puppet or a mime show, a music or a variety show. It goes without saying visiting a theatre is much more a festive event than going to the cinema.

Theatres are very much the same everywhere. Passing through the door you come to the box-office, where tickets are sold. If you want to get tickets for the first night you’d better take them in advance. The best seats at theatres are in the stalls and the upper-circle. Then comes the pit and the last of all is the gallery, where the seats are the cheapest. Boxes of course are the most expensive. Most theatres have good orchestras and popular conductors.

When you go to the opera for example you can get the best of everything: an excellent orchestra, famous conductors, celebrated singers and a well-dressed audience. But if you are not fond of music and singing, opera won’t interest you. Frankly speaking I’m not so keen on opera myself. Drama and ballet are more to my liking.

10.Прочитайте информацию ниже о рекомендательных письмах (Aletterofrecommendation):

Немаловажным документом, сопровождающим резюме, может стать рекомендательное письмо от вашего предыдущего работодателя или преподавателя с места учебы.

Чаще всего у нужных вам рекомендателей не хватает времени, чтобы составить шаблон письма самим, но они готовы его подписать, так что приготовьтесь к тому, что составлять письмо придется именно вам.

Рекомендательное письмо включает:

Заголовок;

описание, как долго и в каком качестве вас знает рекомендатель;

подтверждение факта работы/учебы/стажировки;

описание ваших обязанностей, оценку их выполнения и профессиональные достижения;

важные личные характеристики (описание сильных сторон);

причины увольнения (этот пункт заполняется по желанию), если ответ не указан в рекомендательном письме, вы должны быть готовы назвать причину вашего ухода из компании устно;

непосредственно рекомендация;

контактные координаты рекомендателя: Ф.И.О, должность, телефон, электронный адрес;

если рекомендация подается на бумаге, то ее лучше сделать на бланке компании, заверив печатью и подписью.

В российской практике деловой переписки в начале документа необходимо указывать, что это “Рекомендательное письмо”. В американских же рекомендательных письмах это словосочетание указывается очень редко. Там рекомендательное письмо оформляется как сопроводительное, то есть сначала пишется адрес, потом дата написания письма и обращение (чаще всего фраза “To whom it may concern”, русский эквивалент которой “Заинтересованным лицам”).

Music in my life

Can you think of a day without music? We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, and they learn to play musical instruments.

But what is music? Specialists explain that music isn't only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects life. There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. For example, folk music appeared long ago, but it is still alive. Folk songs are very tuneful and pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past.

Great Britain has produced more popular music stars than any other country. Over the last 30 years rock and pop music have been very popular in Britain. The Beatles, with their style of singing, eloquent and exciting, is still one of the most popular groups. British groups often set new trends in music. Many of the new bands have been able to use the changes in technology to develop their music. Computerized drum machines, synthesizers and other electronic instruments are now just as popular as the piano and electric guitars.

My favourite style of music is pop music, because it is breathtaking and full of energy. This style of music is catchy and I like catchy tunes. It makes me more energetic.

Tastes differ. So people's musical interests range from pop and rock music, which are extremely popular nowadays, especially among young people, to classical music and opera.

It's a pity that many young people like to listen only to modern music. As for me, I also enjoy listening to classical music. Classical music is always a complex of emotions. It gives me delight, pleasure and a sense of happiness. Some pieces of classical music are really wonderful. Not long ago I listened to the First Piano Concerto, composed by Tchaikovsky. The power of his music captivated me.

It goes without saying that music plays a very important role in people's lives. It reflects our moods and emotions. Music appeals to our hearts and transforms our feelings. It conquers our souls and enriches our minds. Music is beauty in sounds; it is our magic source of inspiration.

not so important. You might be able to exchange CDs and broaden your tastes.

Mostly b: You have a dance personality. You are a tidy, organized person. You are concerned with appearance and try to look your best. You choose friends who do the same. It takes time getting to know the real you, but people appreciate you good judgment. You should listen to some Fatboy Slim or the Chemical Brothers.

Mostly c: You have a rock personality. You like things that are really important. You don’t care about appearance and are very direct in the way you speak to people. You are not afraid of risk and work hard to achieve your goals. Bon Jovi are cool but you’d like something a bit heavier too.

You are a perfectionist and have an incredible drive to succeed. You sometimes seem a bit mysterious at first, but you are loyal friend and people can always rely on you. You’d probably like Guf, AK-47 and Eminem even if you think you don’t at the moment.

10.Прочитайте отрывок из рекомендательного письма ниже. Кому и от кого дана рекомендация?

I wholeheartedly recommend Michel for admission to your fine university. As his high school music teacher for the past three years, I have had the pleasure of watching Michel grow as a student, a young musician and a person.

He possesses a natural talent for music and is also academically accomplished. In the past, I have had students who either excel at improvisation or who take a more methodical approach to musical performance. Michel is rare in that he possesses both abilities. He intuitively loves music, yes, but he is also has an insatiable curiosity about the "why" and "how" behind it.

Michel is one of a handful of students about whom I have absolutely no reservations in terms of academic and personal success. I hold him in the highest regard, and am positive he will succeed in a university setting.

The Ural State Pedagogical University

The Ural State Pedagogical University is one of the biggest and most prestigious institutions of higher education in Russia. In 2010 our University will celebrate its 80th anniversary. The USPU was established in 1930 and was named the Ural Industrial Pedagogical Institute first. At that time there were only 66 full-time students. Since 1993 it’s been called the Ural State Pedagogical University. Now its main building is situated in Kosmonavtov Street, 26.

Today our educational institution is one of the oldest universities in Ural. It is included in the top 100 universities of Russia. Our rector is Boris Igoshev. The USPU is a large centre of education, science and research. The university’s professorial and teaching staff is a balanced combination of highly experienced teachers and young specialists who chose teaching as their career. The University employs more than 100 professors, 500 Doctors of Science, many of them are honored workers of science, culture, art, and physical training, merited sport trainers and masters of sports of the Russian Federation and the USSR, merited teachers of high school of the Russian Federation, etc.

More than 20 000 students are trained at the departments and branches of the University. The majority are full-time students and the rest are part-time students. There are more than 70 specializations and 46 specialties of higher education (specialist, bachelor, and master) in many subject areas. The university has 17 academic and 72 scientific chairs, and 4 research centers. It is composed of faculties (departments) or institutes of Foreign Languages, Geography and Biology, Mathematics and Physics, the Russian Language and Literature, Psychology and many others. Every faculty is headed by a dean.

The normal length of the university course is five years after which the students receive a Diploma of Higher Education. The academic year consists of two terms and lasts from September till June.

Our university is quite large and we have several buildings situated in different parts of the city. The University has 4 educational buildings, 4 hostels, and a sports center, equipped with modern facilities. The scientific library of the University numbers more than 800 000 books. Besides, the university has many branches all over the region which provide every person with the opportunity to study by correspondence. At present the University has 5 branches and 9 representations that are fully functional.

There are large halls and smaller classrooms in the main university building. Great importance is attached to IT – there are many computer classes where students can use the Internet for their educational purposes. There are also two museums at the university. It also has a canteen, but many students prefer to buy food at the stall on the ground floor. There are three hostel buildings near the main building of the USPU. Students from other cities live there.

There are many societies and clubs at our university. We have a students’ theatre, a KVN team, a disco studio, a break-dance studio, a rock band and many others. All kinds of sports competitions, exhibitions, concerts, parties and festivals are held at the university every year.

FIRE

Aries – Овен (March 21 – April 20)

Sagittarius – Стрелец (November 22 – December 21)

Leo – Лев (July 22 – August 22)

Fire signs usually make optimistic students. However, you are often impatient and want to make quick progress. It’s difficult for you to concentrate on the one thing. You have lots of energy but sometimes you have your heads in the clouds and don’t know or care what is going on around you. To make good progress you should try to concentrate on what you are doing today and not on what you want to do tomorrow.

EARTH

Capricorn – Козерог (December 22 – January 20)

Virgo – Дева (August 23 – September 22)

Taurus – Телец (April 21 – May 20)

Earth signs usually make serious and hard-working students. Exams are very important to you because you want to have a good job one day. You always check your homework. You like everything in its place and demand clear explanations of what is going on. You don’t like change. Other students like you because you are practical and helpful and see everything so clearly.

WATER

Cancer – Рак (June 22 – July 22)

Pisces – Рыбы (February 19 – March 20)

Scorpio – Скорпион (October 22 – November 21)

You live in a world of your own and often dream, even in class. You often lose things and forget the time. You seem to learn without effort and usually do well, if your teachers encourage (поддерживать, поощрять) you. You are very resourceful (изобретательный, находчивый) and artistic which makes your work very interesting though not always very accurate! Try to combine your imagination with the practical side of studying. And remember to do your homework.

AIR

Gemini – Близнецы (May 21 – June 21)

Libra – Весы (September 23 – October 21)

Aquarius – Водолей (January 21 – February 18)

You are a popular student and a good talker. You easily make friends and are happy to be a part of a team. You are a flatterer (льстец, подхалим), which means you are probably popular with your teacher! But sometimes you are lazy. You have all the qualities to make a success of your studies, get on and do it! By the way, air signs are good at learning foreign languages.

My future profession

Finishing school is the beginning of an independent life for millions of school-leavers. We usually say that all roads are open before our school-leavers: vocational and technical schools, institutes and universities. But actually it is very difficult to make up one’s mind and choose one of the hundreds of jobs.

Many people and organizations help in choosing a job. Teachers and parents also advise pupils, but still very few of them know what they want to do. Generally pupils are not realistic in thinking about jobs. They have dreams of playing football for some big clubs, or becoming pop stars, heart transplant surgeons or international experts of some kind.

While choosing a job many factors should be taken into consideration: salaries, job-satisfaction, opportunities to travel and to see much, etc. For me, the most important criterion is job-satisfaction, and that’s why I have chosen the profession of a teacher. Teaching is a very specific and responsible occupation. I believe teaching is a very valuable and challenging profession that requires love of the subject and lots of enthusiasm. However, there are also disadvantages. It is regarded in many societies as low-status and underpaid work.

The success of educating and upbringing of children depends on the personality of the teacher, his professional skills, moral principles, erudition and cultural background. The noble profession demands from a teacher constant creativity, understanding of children and love for them.

The teacher must be a model of competence, so he (she) is a person who is learning as well as teaching all his life. It is also a stressful job because you have to encourage your pupils and keep them interested in the subject you teach.

A good teacher treats his pupils with respect and values them individuals. He understands that each child is unique and has special talents. He helps children to develop their critical and creative thinking, to form their views and characters, their attitudes to life and to other people. He teaches them to work independently and cooperatively, to be helpful and useful.

A good teacher will do his best to bring up honest and considerate, patient and tactful, self-confident people, able to meet many challenges of adult life in a rapidly changing world.

9-12 points: You are hard working and ambitious, but want to get as much satisfaction from your job as money. A job in academia, the media or research is recommended.

You may have trouble paying the bills, but hopefully you’ll put all that extra time to good use and join the ranks of those like John Lennon and Samuel Johnson (the compiler of the dictionary) who have achieved great things in spite of being unable to get out of bed. A lie-in is recommended.

Dear Fiona,

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on April 7th. We had such a wonderful time, due in no small part to you and your super band! The dance floor never seemed to be empty and there was never a shortage of volunteers. It was exactly what we were looking for - a really good band who ensured everyone had a great time. Please pass on our thanks to all of your "team", especially the Caller who was excellent! By the end of it, we were quite sorry to leave! We have received lots of thanks from our guests who really enjoyed joining in the dancing! We shall certainly recommend you to others.

Thanks again

Love from E & M.

English in my life

Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and efforts.

We began studying English in the fifth form of the secondary school. We started with the ABC, transcription and sounds. Then we learnt some English words, conversational phrases and dialogues by heart, read and translated easy texts, did exercises, wrote dictations.

From lessons to lessons we improved our knowledge, learnt more and more new words, grammatical structures and put them into practice of speaking. We enjoyed our English classes and prepared carefully for them. At home we tried to listen to different educational programs over the radio, watched English films on TV. You can’t speak English well if you don’t know grammar rules, so we often revised them.

Soon we were able not only to read and translate texts but to discuss their contents in English, to communicate with one another making useful statements in real-life situations. I’m not a good speaker of English yet. It takes me long to read an English book in original. Adapted and abridged books are easier for me to read. But I hope that soon I shall know English well.

One should say that English is not an easy language to learn. There is a big problem of spelling, of the large number of exceptions to any rule. This language is very idiomatic and the prepositions are difficult to remember. English is one of those languages which may seem easy in the beginning, but then the bridge between basic knowledge and mastery takes a long time to cross. But if you cross this bridge it will give you great satisfaction. You will be able to speak to people from other countries, to read foreign authors in the original, which makes your outlook wider. It is not surprising that many intellectuals and well-educated people know many foreign languages.

I want to know foreign languages because I have always been interested in foreign countries, their cultures and peoples. I want to learn English in particular not only because it is the language of such great countries as the USA and Great Britain, but also because it has become the international language, the language of progressive science and engineering. To know English today is absolutely necessary for every educated man, for every good specialist

“Hurt” Christina Aguilera

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your faceYou told me how proud you were but I walked awayIf only I knew what I know todayI would hold you in my armsI would take away the painThank you for all you've doneForgive all your mistakesThere's nothing I wanna doTo hear your voice againSometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be thereI'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't doAnd I hurt myself by hating youSomedays I feel broke inside but I won't admitSometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I missYou know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to thisWould you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand?Are you looking down upon me?Are you proud of who I am?There's nothing I want to do To have just one more chanceTo look into your eyes and see you looking backI'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't doAnd I've had myselfIf I had just one more day, I would tell you how much thatI've missed you since you've been awayOh, it's dangerousIt's so I'm afraid to try to turn back timeI'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't doAnd I've had myself By hurting you

“Lucky” Britney Spears

This is a story about a girl named Lucky…Early morning, she wakes upKnock, knock, knock on the doorIt's time for makeup, perfect smileIt's you they're all waiting forThey go…"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"And they say…

CHORUS:

She's so lucky, she's a starBut she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinkingIf there's nothing missing in my lifeThen why do these tears come at night

Lost in an image, in a dreamBut there's no one there to wake her upAnd the world is spinning, and she keeps on winningBut tell me what happens when it stops?They go…"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"And they say…

CHORUS:

"Best actress, and the winner is…Lucky!""I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky""Oh my god…here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?She is so lucky, but why does she cry?If there's nothing missing in her lifeWhy do tears come at night?
