I. Задания на аудирование.

Задание 1.

A.Young children have a genetic ability to learn language. They come into the world as eager learning

machines, and language acquisition is a major aspect of this learning. How children actually learn

language is not entirely clear, however. Most linguists believe that they do it primarily by listening to

and trying to communicate with adult speakers. Initially, this means that they copy the way adults use

words and grammar.

B.Learning a second or third language is easier in early childhood than later. It is particularly important

to learn correct pronunciation as young as possible. At any age, learning by constant contact with

native speakers in their own society is the quickest and the most effective method. It is superior to

taking foreign language classes because it forces you to concentrate on it all of the time.

C.Learning a second language can be affected by the patterns of the first language. There can be some

blending of phonemes. For instance, most Americans who learn French in high school or college

pronounce French words with a distinctive American accent. Grammar can also be affected. English

speakers who learn both French and Spanish sometimes combine grammatical rules of both when

speaking either of them.

D .Until just a few years ago, language study was limited to the classroom or personal tutor, or home

study by book. In the last few decades technology has given us a much needed audio option — first

vinyl records, then cassettes and CDs. Now technology has given us a new format — the Internet.

Options to learn a language by Internet are still limited but the potential is not.

E.What is important when learning a language? If you have the desire and persistence, time is the only

factor that you may have to work with. How much time you can devote to learning will play a role in

how quickly you can learn the language. Just re member how exciting it will be and how rewarding

you will feel at the accomplishment.

F.Rather than have businessmen, diplomats, scientists and tourists from every country learning all the

major languages that they want to learn or need to learn, Esperantists would have everyone just learn

one second language — Esperanto. Then everyone could communicate with everyone, everywhere.

The major ‘national’ languages could keep their special characteristics for anyone who wanted to learn

them. This is the essence of the ‘Esperanto Movement’.

G.More than half of the world’s 7,000 languages are expected to die out by the end of the century,

often taking with them irreplaceable knowledge about the natural world. When a species dies out,

sometimes fossils can be found, remains uncovered. But when a human language disappears, there’s

rarely any key left behind. Each loss becomes a linguistic black hole, where an entire way of knowing

the world disappears.

Задание 2.

A. Foreign languages are very popular nowadays, and it is not surprising that people want to master

them. Today there are lots of ways that makes it possible to learn a foreign language. And every person

chooses what suits them best. There is no shortcut for faster learning, though it takes the time, it takes.

The way I learnt Romanian was watching TV in English with Romanian subtitles. Subtitles help me

pick up Romanian words from sentenses.It took about a hundred hours or so, but I can now read

Romanian and understand the spoken language without having put any work in it.

B.In my opinion the only way you will ever truly learn a language is going to the country that speaks

that language. Stay for at least three months at the same place at first you will feel frustrated but this is

normal and you will soon get used to the language and I have never been to a language class.

C. In my opinion the fastest and the quickest way to learn a language is to live in the country where it

is spoken. However, not everyone can afford studying abroad if you can’t do that I believe that taking

classes is an effective way as well. I don’t think it is a good idea to try and learn a foreign language by

yourself, I mean, sure, you can do that as well as taking classes, but I do think it is very hard to do it

without any help. It is much easier if you have a teacher or a tutor, whom you can ask questions and

ask for advice.

D.My preferred method is using a good textbook with both grammar lessons and vocabulary. Read the

lessons and learn new words. Then practice using them with the exercise provided in the textbook.

This is an accelerated way of learning and it is entirely possible. When starting a new language,

memorizing a hundred words per day will come quite naturally. I recommend never falling below 50

words per day and keep them in your working memory. And make sure that the words you learn are the

ones that people use commonly, learning odd and rare words is not effective if you are trying to learn

quickly.

E.You can’t learn a language from books, you should hear it sound. While studying French at the

University, I religiously listened to the cassette tapes that accompanied our textbooks and it really

helped me to better learn a languge.Listening doesn’t take up your time. Load the language into your

ipod, walkman or whatever is convenient and just listen to it at home while cooking dinner or in the

car on the way to uni. You can also listen to foreign pop music. You know, French sounds are rather

difficult and singing French songs really helped me improve my pronunciation.

F.Memorizing words is not an effective way to learn languages. You can’t learn language without

speaking it. The only thing you should do is to find some kind of actual verbal interaction so as to see

how the language really works in everyday conversation. I used to know a couple of students who

helped each other learn languages. One knew Spanish and wanted to learn English, the other knew

English and wanted to improve Spanish. They divided the week in half. For half a week they only

speak Spanish, and the rest of the time they speak English. They both improved rapidly.

Stay Focused

A. The overriding idea is to go for simplicity. A quiet basement, a library table or the ground next to a

big tree outside allow you to focus on what you’re doing. Examples of poor locations would include the

kitchen table, common areas where you’re likely to en- counter friends, or even your own room, as it’s

usually stocked with a computer, television, and video games that seem a lot more appealing than what

you’re doing. You have to remove yourself far enough from any potential disturbance. This is the key to

any successful session of work.

B. Making your work relates to your leisure activities or hobbies eliminates much of the tedium

associated with it. Whenever possible, make your schoolwork centre around something you love, and

run with it. Essay assignment? Write about your favourite hobby. History report? Write about your

favourite historical battle. Just pick anything to make your reports and assignments less mundane. As

long as you meet all the requirements of the assignment, the rest is yours to choose.

C. It’s okay to reward a long session of hard work with a quick break here or there. Eat something,

watch a TV show, play a bit of your favourite video game, pick up a musical instrument and practise a

little bit. Trying to work too long at too hard a pace with- out a break is only going to spoil your work in

the end, as you’ll start to tire, grow apathetic, and make mistakes. Taking semi-frequent breaks

proportional to the amount of time you spent working keeps your mind fresh and your spirits up.

D. Ultimately, you are going to have to make executive decisions about the importance of various

assignments relative to how much time and effort you’re expending on them. Don’t get bogged down

worrying about finishing a small assignment that is worth a negligible fraction of your grade if it means

that finishing it will cost you important points on a far more important project or paper for another class.

Always rank assignments based on their due date and importance. In the grand scheme of things, it’s

always best to do what will get you the best overall average of grade points.

E. If you have multiple assignments to do, don’t try and work on more than one at a time. Pick the most

immediately due assignment and stick with it like glue until it’s done. Then move on to the next most

pressing assignment. This way, you resist the temptation to bypass hard, looming assignments to jump to

easier but less pressing assignments for your sense of accomplishment. Concentrating your efforts on

one task is the key to any successful session of work.

F. Often, you’ll be tempted to pull all-nighters simply to get things done and out of your head. This is

extremely counterproductive. If you feel very tired, you can just drop off at any moment. If you sense

you’re giving less and less effort to your work, then stop. It’s always better to pick it up the next day

when you’re focused than to run a marathon all night and wind up with substandard work that you aren’t

proud of.

G. It’s not always easy to stay on the ball in college, but if you know how to stay calm, and make your

assignments work for you, you can simplify things tremendously. If you have no idea how to even start

an assignment, always feel free to contact your professor, campus tutoring office, or even your parents

for advice. Don’t let your fears get in the way of your doing well. If asking a professor for assistance is

the difference between a C and an A on an assignment, you should not care about your pride, you should

care about your college marks.

Задание 2.

The most difficult language.

People often ask which language is the most difficult to learn, and it is not easy to answer because

there are many factors to take into consideration. A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find

Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese because Portuguese is very similar to

Spanish, while Chinese is very different. The greater the differences between the second language and

our first one, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the

hardest language to learn possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system.

The pronunciation of Chinese appears to be very difficult for many foreign learners, too. However, for

Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning this language

will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.

Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the

circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's

motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they

often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.

British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese,

which will probably come as no surprise to many. But the language that they have found to be the most

problematic is Hungarian, which has 35 grammatical cases.

Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. In

the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a

similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may

find it easier.
