The pronunciation in phonetic symbols

 

The part of speech

(n. = noun, v. = verb)

 

    Book [ buk ] n. 1. книга; 2. литературное произведение; v. 1. записывать, регистрировать; 2. заносить в список; 3. заказывать, бронировать места, продавать билеты (обычно заранее); приглашать, договариваться adj. книжный, ~ learning – теоретические знания

~ means repeat the word

 

  The translation

2. These words have more than one meaning. Use a dictionary to find out which part of speech they are and what meanings they have. Write two sentences to demonstrate different meanings of every word.

  Sentence 1 Sentence 2

train    
might    
last

Get real

 

Visit the websites of the world famous universities to find out:

§ degrees that they award in your field of science

§ courses available – traditional, modular, sandwich, etc.

§ admission requirements

§ forms of classes

 

Speaking

 

1. Work in pairs. Make a list of questions you would like to ask a university representative to find out as much as possible about the university/department you are hoping to study at. Make sure you ask about: variety of courses the university/faculty offers, degrees it awards, forms of teaching and methods of assessment used, tuition fees, facilities.

Managing your learning Make use of every opportunity you get to practice speaking in class. Role-plays help you prepare for a real-world experience

 

2. Change the partner. Take turns to ask each other about the university you have read about.

 

Writing

 

1. Answer the questions:

§ Have you ever filled in an application form?

§ How did you feel about doing it?

§ Are you good at filling in the forms?

§ What sort of information do you have to provide?

 

2. Application forms mostly ask for information rather than ask questions. Match a line in A with a question in B.

2) Surname b) Are you married or single?
3) Date of birth c) Where were you born?
