For the advanced - a bit of English every week
|
Конечно же, есть среди нас и те, кто уже выучил английский. Что значит выучил? Это значит, что человек уже обладает определенным знанием общей грамматической, лексической и стилистической структуры языка и определенными языковыми навыками. Наглядный пример таких людей – филологи-выпускники инязов. Их уровень близок к уровню носителя языка, условно называемом Advanced. И что теперь? Что делать дальше? Не секрет, что язык без практики «уходит», и причем гораздо быстрее, чем «приходит». Если у вас нет постоянной практики с носителем языка, если вы не живете в стране языка, не поддерживаете наработанный языковой уровень – вы гарантированно «откатитесь назад» в своих знаниях уже через несколько месяцев. Можно строить бесконечные планы, о том, как вы будете читать литературу в оригинале – столько- то томов в неделю, как вы будете просматривать фильмы на английском и пересказывать их себе, как вы перечитаете справочники по грамматике и доучите, наконец, те несчастные несколько слов, заимствованные из латыни, которые образуют форму множественного числа по одним только им понятным парадигмам J Многим, если не всем, из этих планов так и не суждено сбыться. Чтобы что-то сделать, нужно НАЧАТЬ это делать. Так банально и так просто. Делая маленький шажок по удержанию (если не развитию) своего языка ежедневно, в долгосрочной перспективе вам не только «не будет мучительно больно», вы к тому же сможете гордиться расширившимся и активизировавшимся словарным запасом и неплохим темпом речи J Поэтому – уважаемые коллеги, продвинутые ученики и расслабившиеся умники и умницы! – КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ читаем хотя бы абзац ЧЕГО-НИБУДЬ интересненького на английском и выучиваем ХОТЯ БЫ 2-3 НОВЫХ СЛОВА. Если даже не выучиваем, то хотябы смотрим на них и откладываем в пассивный запас J За год – умножаем 2 на 365… ого! А за 5 лет? Ого-го! Плюс все те слова, что вам удалось не забыть J А мы вам будем помогать – выкладывать еженедельно ( по понедельникам, кроме праздников) интересненький кусочек чего-то познавательного. И лексику, которая, на наш взгляд, может представлять трудности, - выписывать с переводом. Ваша задача – только читать эти несколько строчек ежедневно, и ощущать, как «накачивается» ваша «языковая мускулатура». Удачи!

St. Valentine's Day falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often anonymous. The history of Valentine's day can be traced back to an obscure Catholic Church feast day, said to be in honor of Saint Valentine. The day's associations with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated.

What women are doing to encourage a 'Culture of Peace'. One half of the population, in the UK and in the Middle East, is barely being used when it comes either to causing terror or preventing it. 97% of bombers and suicide bombers are male, as are over 90% of those conducting the so-called 'war on terror'. Maybe it is time to consider what women would do. In fact, the British government has signed up to United Nations Resolution 1325, which is a worldwide agreement to include women in preventing and resolving violence. Why?

WHAT IS MUSIC? Music is pure magic. It is a wonderful gift to humanity. Music moves us, and soothes us. It stimulates. It makes us want to dance or sing. It makes us feel happy or sad, inspired or uplifted. It affects our mood in all kinds of infinite ways. It can be exquisitely subtle or wildly raucous: from a lullaby, to a war cry for revolution.
