1. Общие положения
Письменная контрольная работа №3 по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» (английский), выполняемая студентами заочной формы обучения, предусмотрена учебным планом СПбГИЭУ. Данная дисциплина призвана обеспечить современный уровень экономиста, способного владеть иностранным языком для общения на бытовую тематику, делового общения и извлечения информации профессионального назначения из зарубежных печатных источников.
Целью выполнения контрольных заданий является самостоятельное приобретение и углубление знаний студентами в области иностранного языка, их знакомство с основными элементами лексико-грамматической модели английского языка. Кроме того, контрольная работа является одним из видов проверки качества знаний студентов, изучающих данную дисциплину.
2. Методические указания к изучению дисциплины
Целью обучения является практическое овладение иностранным языком.
Для получения необходимых знаний нужно:
- овладеть техникой чтения;
- накопить определенный словарный запас;
- овладеть грамматическими формами и конструкциями, характерными для языка;
- приобрести практические навыки работы с текстом, перевода необходимой литературы.
Студентам заочного отделения особое внимание следует обратить на самостоятельную подготовку материала из рекомендуемых учебных пособий. Студенты должны овладеть двумя видами чтения: обучающим, целью которого является точная передача содержания прочитанного и поискового, нацеленного на понимание общего содержания текста.
При переводе иностранного текста большое значение имеет работа со словарем. Студентам необходимо регулярно вести рабочий словарь, в который вносятся все незнакомые слова в исходной форме.
Для понимания иностранного текста необходимо также знать грамматический материал, на котором он построен. Поэтому, прежде чем приступать к чтению рекомендуется проработать тему данного задания и знать ранее пройденный грамматический материал.
3. Методические указания к выполнению контрольной работы
Задания контрольной работы № 3 подготовлены в соответствии с программой, разработанной на кафедре делового иностранного языка СПбГИЭУ (см. приложение А), и включают следующую тематику:
- оригинальный текст по экономической тематике специальности «Национальная экономика» объемом 2500 печатных знаков;
- структура простого и сложного предложения в активном и пассивном залоге (утвердительная, отрицательная и вопросительная формы);
- типы вопросов (general, special, alternative, disjunctive and question to the subject);
- субъектный инфинитивный оборот (сложное подлежащее).
- объектный инфинитивный оборот (сложное дополнение)
Контрольная работа № 3 строится на базе предыдущих работ и требует усвоения основных положений грамматики, синтаксиса, лексики, словообразования и понятия контекста в английском языке.
Целью выполнения контрольного задания № 3 является углубление знаний студентами в области грамматики английского языка, а также изучение профессиональной лексики по специальности «национальная экономика».
Данная контрольная работа состоит из упражнений на грамматические аспекты английского языка, письменного перевода связного текста по профессиональной тематике с английского языка на русский и заданий к нему.
К выполнению контрольных заданий следует подходить творчески, особенно к переводу текста. В этом случае необходимо, прежде всего, ознакомиться с его содержанием и определить общую направленность текста. Затем следует сделать список незнакомых слов, встречающихся в тексте, и расположить их в предварительных записях в алфавитном порядке, что сэкономит время поиска их русских соответствий в словаре. В качестве третьего этапа целесообразно сконцентрировать внимание на словосочетаниях и грамматических конструкциях, содержащихся в тексте, и – при необходимости – обратиться к грамматическим комментариям, находящимся в базовом учебнике английского языка. После этих предварительных этапов обработки текста можно приступить к его переводу.
В ряде случаев для точной передачи содержания может потребоваться специализированный экономический словарь.

READING
1.7. Translate the following text into Russian.
WHAT IS BUSINESS?
A dictionary and Thesaurus give many meanings of the noun "business":
• A trade or profession - for example, "What business are you in?"
• The purchase and sale of goods and services - for example, "Smith and I do business together"
• A commercial or industrial establishment — for example, " This business employs 400 people"
• Volume of commercial activity — for example, "Business is good at the moment"
« Commercial policy - for example, "Overcharging customers is bad business"
Other meanings exist, but they are not relevant here. So you can see the problem that needs to be cleared up before we start a study of business. What do we mean when we use the term "business"?
It is essential that our study examines all the internal and external pressures that affect the many organizations from which we earn or receive money, and all the organizations with which we spend our money either voluntarily or by compulsion.
But we cannot exclude local government which places planning and development restrictions on businesses, or national government which passes laws that affect every business, and collects taxes on profits. Trade unions influence the pay and conditions that employers provide, and pressure groups can cause firms to alter the way they make or package their products. Similarly, we must consider the impact of international organizations such as the European Community and the International Monetary Fund.
So when we think about "business", we mean commercial and industrial establishments and everything that affects them.
Business studies is a blend of many specialized subjects. Economics is the basis of business studies and provides a firm foundation upon which to build. Money (as represented by finance and accounting) is the language of business, and needs to be controlled and kept secure. People make business, and their behavior must be understood and influenced when possible. Laws control business and protect society from its worst excesses. Communication is the lifeblood of business and pervades every aspect of it. Mathematics and statistics are the key to understanding, describing and solving many of the problems faced by business.
For example, a company thinking about developing a new product or service ought to consider if there will be sufficient demand for it and whether the level of demand would be affected by price (economics
). Can the company afford to produce it and make a profit at the price customers would be willing to pay (finance)? Has it got people with the right skills and expertise to design and make the goods (people)
? Is the product covered by any special legal regulations as the upholstery or toy industries are (law)? Ought the company do some marketing research to find out what people think before they spend too much money (mathematics and statistics
)? In everything mentioned here, the company will be giving and gathering information and ideas all the
.
1.8. Define whether the statement is true or false
1. There are many meanings of the word business.
2. When we use the term 'business' we mean commercial policy.
3. Money is the language of business.
4. Anyone setting up a business has a choice of only way of conducting it.
5. The only way to limit the personal responsibility that sole traders and partners have for business liabilities is to form a corporation.

2.7. Translate the following text into Russian.
STRUCTURE OF BUSINESS ENTITIES
IN
RUSSIA
Under Russian legislation, legal entities may take a number of legal and organizational forms, including the state enterprise, municipal enterprise (founded by the local Council of Deputies), individual or family enterprise (owned by one or more members of the same family), full partnership, mixed partnership, limited liability partnership, closed joint stock company and open joint stock company.
Open Joint Stock Companies
Under the large-scale privatization program, Russian enterprises are converting to open joint stock companies. Open joint stock companies are similar in concept to Western publicly traded companies. Shareholders are responsible for the obligations of the company within the limits of their investment. Despite the similarities to Western companies, however, investors should bear in mind that the standard charters of open joint stock companies may provide limited control over the contributions of minority shareholders.
The main features of open joint stock companies are the following:
• While open joint stock companies are governed by their charters they are also subject to legislation. A standard charter has been issued to guide enterprises in designing their own charter.
• Shareholders have limited liability.
• Shareholders govern the company through shareholders' meetings, which are held at least once a year. Among other activities at the shareholders' meetings, shareholders elect the board of directors to act on their behalf between meetings.
The board of directors, which is headed by the general director, appoints the board of management to carry out day-to-day management of the company.
Closed Joint Stock Companies
The following are the main differences between the open and the closed joint stock companies:
• Closed joint stock companies establish their own charter, allowing participants to ensure that their interests in the company are better protected;
• Shares in closed joint stock companies are tradable only with the consent of other owners and in accordance with relevant articles of the charter.
Limited Liability Company
Limited liability companies (also known as limited liability partnerships) are not set apart in the law from closed joint stock companies. However, Russian authorities have recently begun to recognize limited companies as distinct corporate vehicles. The main differences emerging between limited liability and joint stock companies are the following:
• Limited liability companies are not required to issue share capital;
• Limited liability companies need only establish two management bodies, the board of directors and the board of management, and need not hold a shareholders' meeting;
• Limited liability companies must have at least two founding parties.
Full Partnership
All participants in a full partnership have unlimited joint liability for the obligations of the enterprise.
Mixed Partnership
A mixed partnership includes full partners and investor partners. Full partners bear unlimited joint liability for the obligations of the partnership to the extent of their property. The liability of investor partners does not exceed their total investment in the property of the partnership.
Trusts
While trust companies are permitted in Russia, their legal status is unclear. Draft legislation covering trusts has been prepared, but has not yet been approved.
2.8. Define whether the statement is true or false.
1.
Municipal enterprise is a legal entity owned by one or more members of the same family.
2.
Open joint stock companies are similar in concept to any Western companies.
3.
Limited liability companies must have as much founding parties as possible.
4.
The participants in a full partnership have unlimited joint liability for the obligations of the enterprise.
5.
Actually the liability of the investor partners exceeds their total investment in the property of the partnership.
2.9. Put 5 questions to the text. Use 5 types of questions (general, special, alternative, disjunctive and question to the subject.
5. Требования к оформлению

Качество работы оценивается по тому, насколько глубоко и адекватно выполнен студентом перевод текста (в оценку входит также стилистическое и грамматическое оформление переводного текста), правильность выполнения упражнений. На каждую контрольную работу преподаватель кафедры предоставляет краткую письменную рецензию, в которой указываются достоинства и недостатки выполненной студентом работы. Дается общая оценка «зачтено» или «не зачтено». Если работа не зачтена, в нее необходимо внести соответствующие исправления с учетом сделанных замечаний. Повторная проверка работы осуществляется, как правило, тем же преподавателем, который рецензировал ее в первый раз. Студенты, не выполнившие контрольную работу или не получившие зачета по ней, к зачетам и экзаменам не допускаются.
