ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
В основе издания лежит идея взаимосвязанного изучения лексики и одновременного развития всех коммуникативных навыков: чтения, говорения, аудирования и письма. Это определило структуру и содержание методических указаний.
Методические указания состоят из четырёх основных тем по страноведению и экономике:
· Великобритания: географическое положение, достопримечательности, британский характер;
· Лондон: история, достопримечательности города, Лондон и финансы;
· Типы собственности: частная собственность, партнёрство, корпорация;
· Моя будущая специальность.
Материал первых двух тем позволяет сформировать обширный словарный запас для извлечения и обмена информацией страноведческого характера. Тематическое единство текстов обеспечивает большую повторяемость лексики, что способствует её непроизвольному запоминанию.
Остальные темы представляют тематику – экономического характера и знакомят студентов с лексикой и стилем официального общения. В заданиях на развитие навыков устной речи входит подготовка устных сообщений и ведение дискуссий по актуальным проблемам экономики. Эти темы подготавливают к профессиональному общению.
Разделы методических указаний построены по единой схеме. Вначале каждой темы идут предтекстовые задания, далее следует текст для изучающего чтения и перевода, завершают тему послетекстовые задания.
Предтекстовые упражнения направлены на введение новой темы.
Текст – определяет тему и содержит лексический и информационный материал, подлежащий активному усвоению и использованию в ситуациях учебно–речевого общения.
Послетекстовые упражнения организованы в две рубрики: упражнения по отработке лексики, и задания по развитию навыков устной речи и письма.
Работа с лексикой направлена на активизацию и расширение словарного запаса по теме. В каждом разделе имеются упражнения на подстановку, формирование синонимических и антонимических пар, перевод с русского на английский язык.
Задания на развитие навыков устной речи, аудирования и письма включают упражнения на контроль понимания текста, учебно–речевые ситуации, диалоги, упражнения нацеленные на передачу содержания текста на английском языке.

MODULE 1
GREAT BRITAIN
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and the Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 244,000 square kilometres.
The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and the Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Belfast. Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales and does not include the Northern Ireland. But in everyday speech 'Great Britain' is used to mean the United Kingdom. The capital of the UK is London. The British Isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.
The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called the Highlands, while the south, which has beautiful valleys and plains, is called the Lowlands. The north and west of England are mountainous. Mountains are not very high. There are a lot of rivers in Great Britain, but they are not very long. The Severn is the longest river, while the Thames is the deepest and the most important one.
The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of Gulf Stream influence the climate of the British Isles. It is mild the whole year round. It is never too hot or too cold here. In winter they have all sorts of weather. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it snows.
The UK is one of the world's smaller countries. Its population is over 57 million.
The UK is a highly developed industrial country. There are many big industrial cities there, such as Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and many others. The UK is known as one of the world's largest producers and exporters of machinery, electronics, textile, aircraft and navigation equipment. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding.
Great Britain is a country with old cultural traditions and customs. The most famous educational centres are Oxford and Cambridge universities.
They are considered to be the intellectual centres of Europe. The education is not free, it is very expensive.
The UK is a constitutional monarchy. In law, the Head of the State is the Queen. In practice, the Queen reigns, but does not rule. The country is ruled by the elected government with the Prime Minister at the head. The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. There are three main political parties in Great Britain: the Labour, the Conservative and the Liberal parties.

FUTURE SPECIALITY
Part 1 «PROFESSION OF AN ECONOMIST»
1. Think about your associations with the profession of an economist. Complete the mind map:
2. Read the text and try to find the meaning of the words which are in bold:
MY FUTURE SPECIALITY
A modern world can offer a great varietyof professions.But while choosing any of them a person should take many factors into consideration, such as: wages and salary, job-satisfaction, opportunities to travel and to develop himself. For me, the most important criterion is job-satisfaction and that’s why I have chosen the profession of an economist.
I believe this profession is interesting and I could have good career prospects in the future. But on the other hand, it is necessary to have both perfect theoretical and practical special knowledge in different fields of economy. Though it is a hard work I hope to do well with the studies and after passing the state examinations to get the qualification of an economist.
At the university students make acquaintance with the principles of economic activity. A great deal of time they spend on studying commerce and its functions, customer’s demand, commerce and trade turnover, material base and finance. They study methods of management and plan the commerce development on the basis of analysis of economic activity in commercial firms and establishments. Besides, future economists get to know how to calculate the introduction efficiency and technical expenses, to plan money costs and count productivity.
This theoretical knowledge is enriched by the practice that will help the students to solve different commerce-technological problems and make the correct managerial decisions in the future.
My speciality is considered to be very important and urgent nowadays. Modern commerce has a tendency of transition to the market relations. And as a result different forms of property appear: commercial banks, join-stock companies and sole proprietorships. The work here will demand deep knowledge not only in economics but also in computer science.
There are two aspects I’d like to deal with in the future. They are marketing and advertising. I’m interested in international marketing that’s why I need have proper knowledge in a foreign language. These skills can help me to get information about companies and customers’ needs, demandfor products and services and a situation in the international markets from a foreign literature and periodicals.
If a company wants to be successful in a market it in necessary to promote its product. That’s why special events, such as: product shows, exhibitions and presentations are held. These events comprise communication mix where people from various countries can take part. And here language knowledge can also be helpful.
Advertising is a part of marketing. And I presume that it will be my primary occupation in future. I want to devote my life to it, as the role of advertising is very important. It is a powerful tool that formulates demand, promotes sales, informs buyers about company’s products and services and creates the company’s image.
Such are my plans for the future. As you can see they are rather complicate and far-reaching. And I hope, in spite of the fact that my future speciality is quite difficult and requires discipline and high quality of work, there will be a great possibility to reveal my knowledge and personal qualities.
