От авторов

Вашему вниманию предлагается учебно-методическое пособие, направленное на развитие коммуникативных навыков. В пособии собраны тексты для дополнительного чтения и обсуждения по темам, предложенным в учебнике “Cutting Edge Intermediate”. Тексты поделены на модули в соответствии с освещаемой темой. Внутри каждого модуля представлены тексты разного уровня сложности. Тем самым каждый преподаватель может выбирать тот или иной текст в зависимости от уровня языковой компетенции группы. После прочтения текста предлагается выполнить упражнения лексико-коммуникативной направленности: перефразировать ту или иную языковую единицу, найти синонимы и антонимы к слову, выразить свою точку зрения по обсуждаемой теме с использованием новой лексики, прокомментировать пословицы, поговорки и изречения известных людей. Данное пособие предоставляет студентам возможность расширить свой словарный запас, обсудить актуальные современные проблемы, моделировать различные речевые ситуации.

Мы надеемся, что данное пособие станет отличным помощником в подготовке студентов к устной части экзамена по английскому языку. Кроме того, оно может использоваться и как пособие по дополнительному чтению для студентов любой специальности.


Module 1

People around you

Handsome is as handsome does

The flatmate from hell *

Monica's parents are very protective, and had always refused to allow her to attend university in a city 100 km away. However, when her aunt and uncle bought a flat there for her cousin, Julia, they agreed to let her go, if she lived with Julia. Monica knew Julia was a bit spoilt, but they had always got on fine, and Monica was happy to share with her.

However, she has seen another side of Julia since they started living together. Her cousin never invites Monica to join in when she has friends round, and is selfish in all sorts of small ways. She switches the TV over when Monica is watching something, plays music late at night when she knows Monica has early lectures next day, and uses Monica's clothes, make­up and food without asking. She acts as if Monica owes her something, even though Monica's father is paying rent. Monica likes college, but living with Julia is spoiling everything, and she feels she needs to speak to someone. But who? Her aunt and uncle can see no wrong in their daughter, and she's afraid that her parents might make her go home. She's dropped hints to Julia, but Julia hasn't responded. She's been asking friends' advice.
