Общие положения
События, происходящие в мире, заставляют по-новому взглянуть на роль иностранных языков. Открываются границы, возможность выехать зарубеж становится просто и доступно. Миграционные потоки захлестнули весь земной шар. Если раньше не все могли посмотреть мир, то сегодня такая возможность появилась у очень многих. При таких условиях требуются знания даже не одного иностранного языка. Иностранный язык приобретает новый статус, становясь посредником в межкультурной коммуникации.
Становление профессионала в любой отрасли означает выход на высокой коммуникативный уровень не только в пределах своей страны, но и зарубежными партнерами. В таких условиях требуются расширенные знания иностранного языка, как устного, так и письменного.
На сегодняшний момент целью изучения иностранного языка становится не только чтение и понимание иноязычных текстов (как было ранее), но и практическое владение иностранным языком на уровне межкультурной коммуникации. Одним из шагов овладения иностранным языком является понимание устной речи, которое успешно развивается через аудирование. Аудирование при использовании современных компьютерных технологий превращается в интерактивный процесс, в котором задействуются все виды перцепции.
Стремительное развитие компьютерных технологий предоставляет нам возможность по-новому строить образовательный процесс. У нас появились возможности новых методов изучения иностранных языков. Появились мультимедийные обучающие комплексы, которые можно очень успешно можно использовать в процессе изучения иностранных языков.
Мы предлагаем вашему вниманию методический материал, который успешно внедряется нами в лингво-педагогическую практику. Данную форму обучения можно отнести к методам компьютерной лингводидактики. Поскольку использование таких методов осуществляется при помощи современных компьютерных технологий.
Материал рассчитан на студентов начального этапа обучения и состоит из 16 тем. Каждая тема сопровождается видеороликом. Методические указания разработаны согласно каждому мини-фильму. Предложенные задания направлены на закрепление лексики темы, способствуют более полному пониманию иноязычной речи.
Цели и задачи методических указаний
Данные методические указания ставят своей целью развитие навыков аудирования студентов с практическим использованием лексических единиц посредством разнообразных упражнений.
Методические указания предназначены как для аудиторной, так и самостоятельной работы студентов на начальном этапе изучения английского языка.
Методические указания помогут студентам понять структуру английского языка и его использование в диалогической и монологической видах речи.

Entertaining
Jeff: Congratulations
, Kristin. You're the perfect
voice
for WMJT's news program. You'll be even more appealing
than Katie Baxter ever was.
Kristin: Oh, Jeff. Thank you.
Jeff: You'll wake
me up
every morning. It will motivate
me to begin the day in a positive mood
.
Kristin: And who will motivate me to get up every day at half past five?
Jeff: Are you going to
change the concept
of the program?
Kristin: We're still arguing
about that. We have this mix
of entertainment
and news, and I believe that the news is at least
as important
as the entertainment. After all, it is a news program.
Jeff: Actually
, it's more important!
Kristin: That's one viewpoint
, but other people think that it's less important. It's also a question of what the public wants, and we know that's not less important!
Emma: Do you like Aunt Rachel?
Tom: Yes. I do.
Christopher: Why do you like her?
Tom: Why... She's a very nice and special person.
Emma: You're right. She's almost as nice as Mom.
Christopher: Yeah. But Mom's not as cool as she is. Sometimes she lets us do stuff
that Mom never does.
Emma: And why do you...
Tom: I don't know. I just know one thing. Christopher is as curious
as a cat, and Emma is even more curious!
Emma: No I'm not!
Kristin: Good morning. This is WMJT. It's time for today's headlines
with Kristin Porter.
Jeff: Congratulations on your new job, Kristin!

Fine dining
Head waiter: Do you have a reservation
?
Rachel: Yes. I think so.
Head waiter: For how many
people?
Rachel: It's a table for four, but it's not in my name...
Tom: Hi, Rachel.
Rachel: Excuse me. Hi Tom!
Tom: Rachel! How are you?
Rachel: Did you make a reservation for us?
Tom: No, I didn't, but I think Kristin did. Try Porter.
David: Porter? Here we are! Welcome to Boston, Rachel.
Rachel: Thank you. I'm so glad
to be here. I have a wonderful
new job, a great apartment
and I'm here with my loved ones.
Kristin: It was a good decision
.
Rachel: Yes, it was. I'm a hundred percent
sure. Boston is really a beautiful place.
Tom: Is our table ready
?
Head waiter: There's one available
near the window. And one next
to the fireplace.
Tom: The fireplace
... That sounds
perfect.
David: When did you get here Rachel?
Rachel: I arrived
last night, after two days on the road.
Kristin: I asked her to stay at our house, but...
Rachel: ...but I wanted to spend my first night in Boston in my new apartment.

Coffee, tea, dessert
David: So, Kristin told me that you had an important
interview.
Tom: Yes, with Mick Morrison.
David: Mick Morrison? Who's that?
Tom: Geez David! Mick Morrison is number one on the charts
!
David: OK, OK. I guess
I'm not with it. Anyway
, how did it go - the interview? I mean?
Tom: Mmm... In the end it went fine, but the beginning was...
Rachel: ...a disaster
.
David: A disaster? What happened
?
Tom: Phew ... It was terrible
. Everything
went fine at first. I was on time
, he was on time, we sat down I began my questions, but...
Tom: ... I didn't record it.
David: You're kidding
.
Tom: I'm not kidding. I didn't turn on my tape recorder
. I just... I just... forgot
. After a while I noticed
and...
David: Did you tell him?
Tom: Of course I told him!
David: And what did he say?
Tom: He said: "Don't worry,
bro. At my first concert I forgot my guitar!"
Waiter: Excuse me. Are you ready to order
dessert
now? We have a wonderful chocolate cheesecake. And the tiramisu is fantastic.
Kristin: Just a moment, please. I think we... forgot about dessert.
Rachel: A black coffee for me, please.
Kristin: Who's having dessert?
Tom: I am. The chocolate cheesecake, please.
Kristin: Mmm... Sounds
good.
David: Just a cup of tea for me, please.
Waiter: With lemon? Or milk.
David: Just lemon, no milk.
Kristin: What's the "Apple In and Out"?
Waiter: That's a sort of apple pie. It's really delicious
.
Kristin: OK. I'll have that.

Meal planning
Tom: Hmm... Do I need
anything? I need a lot of
things. Vegetables, potatoes...
Hello Rachel! Come in! How was your day?
Rachel: Excellent
! I love this job. It's so interesting, I have a lot of responsibility
, my co-workers
are great and I'm having a wonderful time.
Tom: Don't you miss
teaching?
Rachel: Hmm... No. I liked teaching very much, as you know, but I wanted to do something else. I wanted to move on
. I made the right decision
. I really believe
that. And... ... don't forget that I need to live in Boston.
Tom: I see your point
.
Rachel: What are you doing, making a grocery list
?
You wanted to cook tonight
! That's wonderful! I'd love to cook together!
Tom: Actually
, I wanted to invite
you to a very nice little restaurant that I found on the other side of town...
Rachel: Oh no! Let's stay in.
Do you want to make lasagne? What do we need?
We need the noodles
, of course. We need oil, onions
, garlic
, tomatoes, pepper, salt, mushrooms
, oregano, basil
, cheese, and ground beef
.
Tom: I have everything except
for the mushrooms and the ground beef.
Rachel: Then let's leave out the ground beef, forget about the mushrooms, and have a vegetarian lasagne. We'll cook it together and we won't even go out of the house!
Tom: Now, that's a good idea!
5.
Checking account
Tom: What time do you have to be at the bank to open your new account
?
Rachel: Oh, I don't have to be there at any special time. I just called
them to ask about all these options
for checking
accounts. They say I can talk to an account representative
in person, if I still have questions. And I do.
Tom: Like what?
Rachel: Well. I'd like to open a deluxe checking account
. But it says here that you have to maintain
a minimum balance
of $3,000
Tom: That's common
practice
.
Rachel: But does that mean
that it all must be in the checking account
itself? Maybe
I can have a combined balance
of three thousand between the checking and the savings
.
Tom: Hmm. At my bank, I don't have to keep as high a balance. I only have to have twenty-five hundred between both accounts. But the checking account still must not drop
below a thousand.
Rachel: That sounds
better than three thousand!
Tom: What else
?
Rachel: I like all the free services
that come with the deluxe account. But I don't like having to keep so much money in my account all the time.
Tom: Do you have to have the services?
Rachel: No, I don't have to have them, but I want them.
Tom: Well, maybe you can get some of them with the regular account
.
Rachel: There are so many options listed here. I can't make up my mind
.
Tom: You don't have to yet. Talk to them first and see what they say.
Rachel: I will. Let's go to the bank now.
6.
Budget
David: Is everything fine
upstairs
?
Kristin: Yes. I always have to tell them the same
story. Otherwise
they refuse
to go to bed. It must
be that story
.
David: The one about the little cat? Kristin: Mm-hmm. Once upon a time
...
David: ...there was a little cat...
I'm going over
the bills
from this month.
Kristin: And?
David: They really went up
. The electric
bill, for example. It was really high. We should be more careful
, shut things off when we're not using them...
Kristin: It is getting colder now though
. The electric bill's always higher in wintertime.
David: True. But that's all the more reason
why we should take care
. We must get Emma and Christopher to cooperate
, too. They're old enough
now. They have to
do a better job of turning off
the video games when they're not playing them, for example.
Kristin: I agree
. We'll have to insist on
that. In summer we'll have lower costs
again.
David: Lower costs?
Kristin: I mean
electricity, gas...
David: Yes, but what about our vacation
?
Kristin: That's true
. And I'd like to be able to afford
to go somewhere really nice this year.
David: We talked about seeing France and Italy. Good food, nice weather, a lot of beautiful architecture, churches
, castles
...
Kristin: I hope
we'll be able to manage
it. Remember we also have to go to Los Angeles to visit my mother.
David: And the children want to go to camp
again this summer.
Kristin: Do you think we can swing
it?
David: Yes, but we'll have to pinch
pennies
as much as possible.
7.
Tennis
Rachel: Tom! What's going on?
Tom: I'm getting back into sports.
Rachel: For the first time in five years?
Tom: ...and I'm going to beat
him.
Rachel: Who are you going to beat? The man in the mirror
? Hmm... You might have a chance
.
Tom: I'm going to
play tennis with David this afternoon. And I will beat him.
Rachel: David? David is a good player!
Tom: Yes, he's a good player. But I think like a winner
. I know I'll beat him!
Rachel: Why not play doubles
? You and David as partners. You'll beat the other guys, for sure
!
Tom: That might be a good idea. David: Wow
... Nice outfit
!
Rachel: Tom is going to beat you. He's sure
about that.
Tom: No, not sure...but I might beat him. Do you really play that well?
David: No, I don't play very well, but I play quite
often. Twice
a week.
Tom: Twice a week...
David: And today I'm looking forward to
a match against a strong young opponent!
Tom: I see...
David: Of course, I may lose, but I'll give you a run for your money
!
Rachel: It's almost
four o'clock. I'm leaving. Kristin is expecting
me. Have a good game!
David: Good-bye!
Tom: Good-bye!
So David, how about playing doubles? Do you like doubles?
David: No way. I want to beat you one-on-one.
Tom: You're not going to beat me!
David: You never can tell! I might
8.
Outdoor activities
Kristin: Would you like some grapes
? Or an apple maybe?
Rachel: I'd rather have an orange. Do you have any oranges?
Kristin: Yes, I do. I'll have the grapes. Here we are.
Rachel: Thanks.
Kristin: I am exhausted
. Whew... You walk so fast
Rachel: Isn't that the point of power walking
?
Kristin: Yes.. .I guess
it is. I really like it. It's so different
from jogging
. Let's do this every week.
Rachel: Good idea.
Kristin: And let's ask David and Tom, too.
Rachel: I don't know... Maybe Tom would rather
not do that with me again
?
Kristin: Oh? Why not?
Rachel: Well, I called him early one Saturday morning. We both lived in Chicago at that time. I wanted him to go power walking
with me. But he was really
grumpy
and...
Kristin: And just how early
was this, health nut?
Rachel: Not early. It was about 8:30.
Kristin: Eight-thirty! Rachel, a lot of people are still
in bed at eight-thirty on Saturday morning!
Rachel: Well, I didn't know his habits
then. Anyway, he showed up
at my door unshaven
and in rumpled
clothes
.
Kristin: And then what.
Rachel: We went power walking for just a short time, but he got out of breath
right
away
.
Kristin: Define "for just a short time."
Rachel: Not long at all.
Kristin: Rachel?
Rachel: No, really! No more than 20 minutes.
Kristin: OK, and then what happened?
Rachel: He almost
collapsed
from exhaustion
, so we took a taxi home. He was quite
embarrassed
!
Kristin: Well, maybe he won't want to go. Let's not ask him, then.
'By the way, talking about Saturdays, next Saturday we're going up to Queen Lake
. David's going to fish, and the children are going to go horseback riding
. Would you like to join
us?
Rachel: Next Saturday? Let's see... I'm not sure
. I think Tom bought
theatre tickets
for Saturday night.
Kristin: Well, come with us! We'll certainly
be back by seven at the latest
. You'll have plenty
of time to get ready
for the theatre.
Rachel: I'd rather
come home earlier, so I can have enough
time to shower
and dress.
Kristin: OK, we'll be back by six. Let's plan on it!
9.
Change of career
Rachel: It is a big change
. I mean... In Chicago, I was a gym teacher
and now I'm the coordinator for the whole physical education department
.
In Chicago, I was teaching full-time
, but here I'm doing a lot of administrative work.
Kristin: How are your colleagues
?
Rachel: They're really nice people. Very friendly.
Kristin: You're lucky
then.
Rachel: Yeah, I really am.
Kristin: Sugar?
Rachel: No, thanks. I never have sugar with my coffee. You know me, the health food nut
.
Kristin: Yeah. I know.
Rachel: One...Two... Two sugar cubes. That's enough
energy for an entire
day.
Kristin: I need it. It was rather
a heavy afternoon.
Rachel: I'm sorry, Kristin, but I needed a lot of new things for my new apartment
.
Kristin: What's next on the list
?
Rachel: Well. I have stuff
for the kitchen. I have pots
and pans
, knives... that sort of thing. And I also have the basics
for cooking: salt, pepper, oil, rice...
Kristin: And the bathroom?
Rachel: I still need a big mirror
there. That's all. My bedroom is OK...
Kristin: ... but you need more furniture
for the living-room. What furniture do you have? Three chairs, a table, a sofa... What else
?
Rachel: That's it, basically. But for the moment, I don't care
. We bought
enough this afternoon. Don't you think so?
Kristin: Oh yes, I do. What time is it?
Rachel: It's half past five.
Kristin: Half past five! I've got to go! David and the kids
are on their way home.

Daily schedules
Tom: Is that Emma and Christopher in this picture?
Kristin: Yes. This is Emma and that's Christopher.
Tom: What are you all doing here?
Kristin: We're having a party. We're singing, and dancing, and having fun.
Tom: And where is this scene
taking
place
?
Kristin: Oh, that's in Los Angeles. My mother lives there. We visit her twice
a year. The children love LA.
Tom: A successful
career
and a wonderful
family. You have it all! How do you do it?
Kristin: There's only one way
to do that: plan. That's very important
. Plan everything!
We get up
at six-thirty in the morning.
Tom: What time do you get up?
Kristin: Usually half past six. We have breakfast at seven. David and the children leave at eight and they're home by six every evening. Then we have dinner together at six-thirty.
Tom: When do you go to work?
Kristin: Sometimes
I work from home, like today. And sometimes I go to the office. But I always
begin work at half past eight.
Tom: And when do you stop?
Kristin: A journalist never
stops. Don't forget those wise
words, Tom.
Tom: A journalist never stops. My interview!
Kristin: Take it easy
. Tom. You still
have more than an hour.
Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Kristin.
Kristin: You're welcome
. This way, Tom. This way.

And how are the twins
? You have a boy and a girl, right? How old are they now?

David: Do they sleep through the night yet?
Michael: Yes, they sleep very well. And I'm very happy about that.

Michael: By the way
, David, I forgot
to tell you - I can't come to the meeting tomorrow morning.
David: Really? Why not?
Michael: I can't be in two places at the same time.
David: What do you mean?
Michael: I need to be at another meeting tomorrow morning. I'd like to postpone

urgent
. It's about getting approval
for the Patagonia project, and we're supposed
to start next week.
David: Geez
, Michael, our meeting tomorrow morning is very important. Can you try
to come?
Michael: I don't think so. There's too much going on right now
. The department head
quit
without notice
, two guys on the team are out sick
, and, on top of it all
, we're preparing
for an audit
next week! We just don't have enough
people at the moment, and...
David: Wow
. You're in trouble
.
Michael: No, I can deal with
it, but that meeting tomorrow is just... too much. I'm sorry.
David: No, no. You're right. We'll postpone it.
Michael: What about early
next week?
David: No problem. Can you make it on Monday?
Michael: Yes, I can! Same time, same place?
David: OK.
Michael: What were we talking about?
David: Your babies. So when can I see the little ones?

Family relationships
Grandmother: I met
him for the first time on
a winter morning in nineteen fifty...
That was a long time ago
, but I remember
it very well. I was at the farmers' market
. I bought
some fruit and vegetables. And lucky
for me, I needed some milk, too. At the dairy stand
I saw a tall man...
Emma: Was it Grandpa?
Grandmother: Yes.
Christopher: And then what happened
?
Grandmother: I asked for some milk. He said, "Would
you like
some cheese, also, Miss?" I said "No, thank you." And then he said, "Then, would you like a cup of tea?"
I accepted. We had a cup of tea together
and ... two years later we got married
.
Emma: Did he work at the university like Dad?
Grandmother: No, no. He was a farmer
. I mean, father was a dairy farmer
, and he sold the milk at the market. They had a big farm with a lot of cows
.
Emma: And horses
?
Grandmother: No horses, but they had some chickens
.
Christopher: Do you miss grandfather?
Grandmother: Yes, Very much.
Emma: I want a cup of tea, too, Grandma!
Grandmother: No, children don't drink tea. Would you like a cup of hot cocoa?
Emma: Cocoa? OK!
Grandmother: Would you like some hot cocoa, Christopher?
Christopher: Yes, please, Grandma.
Grandmother: All right, hot cocoa then.
Emma: Who's that?
Christopher: That's Aunt
Katie!
Emma: And that's Uncle
Jack!
Grandmother: Yes, that's Aunt Katie. She's eating a big dish
of ice cream...
But that's not Uncle Jack. That's your father.
Christopher: Daddy
! He's eating a piece of cake!
Emma: I want a piece
of cake, too!
Kristin: Who would like a kiss
good-bye from Mom and Dad?
