АРТИКЛИ

Одно из самых выдающихся достижений Наталии Анатольевны Лукьяновой, которая и разработала все упражнения - "Употребление артиклей"

Любое грамматическое явление, которого нет в родном языке, но есть в языке изучаемом, необходимо сначала, объяснять на родном.

Но сколько не публикуй таблиц, сколько не давай комментариев, сколько не объясняй на уроках. Всё - бесполезно! Бесполезно до тех пор, пока ученики сами не сделают таблицы, и сами не напишут комментарии.

Неопределённый артикль - только перед исчисляемыми существительными

только в единственном числе.

Так как неопределённый артикль произошед от числительного один.

Определённый артикль -

(когда бы ни употреблялся всегда имеет оттенок уникальности)

-- перед единственными и неповторимыми в природе:

солнце, земля, луна. The sun. the moon, the Earth.

-- перед единственными в стандартных ситуациях: середина, начало, конец. The middle, the beginning, the end;

-- В сутках одно утро, один день, один вечер. in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening.

-- В нормальной комнате всегда один пол и потолок.

Lesson #1

My name is Eliza Growns. I live in Moscow, in the very outskirts of Russia's beautiful capital. The nearest underground station is Kuzminki and it takes me some fifteen to fifty-five minutes, (fifteen, if I go by bus and there are no traffic jams) to get to a four-room flat where I rent a room. As you have already guessed I am not a Muscovite, I am from Novosibirsk. I came here more than three years ago and I have lived here since then. And all this time I have worked for JDF - 3 Company.

I like my work, and my work likes me. Everything is fine, but there is one thing that spoils everything. The problem is that I have lived in Moscow for more than three years unregistered, because nobody wants to register me. My close friends call me Eliza the Unregistered.

I am an English language teacher. I am at a lesson now. My students are highly qualified specialists. They work for one of the most prestigious companies in Russia. Alex is a project manager. He is writing something in his exercise-book. I am not writing. I am listening to two other students. They are speaking about their jobs and their holidays.

I never ask my students to write on the white board, because I know they will never do it. I don't want to change anything in my teaching techniques.

Our lessons are not unusual. We speak, read and write English. Sometimes we watch films or listen to radio recordings. We never have dictations in class, because the students don't like it. They like speaking and so we spend most of the time on oral practice. We do try to speak English in class; but my students usually speak Russian after classes.

My students are generally very good, but from time to time they are late for classes. Another big problem is that they can miss a lot of lessons because they often go on business trips. Their attendance is unpredictable. It has always been. And I am sure it will always be.

- What is your name?

- My name is Eliza Growns.

- What do you do?

- I am an English language teacher.

- Do you speak any other foreign languages?

- Seven years ago I spoke Italian, but I forgot everything.

- Are you learning any other foreign languages?

- No, I am not.

- Do you live in the centre of Moscow?

- Unfortunately, I don't.

- Where do you live then?

- I live in the very outskirts of our fair capital. The nearest underground station is Kuzminki.

Lesson 2

My friend is also an English language teacher. We work together in the same firm. He is a good mixer and you can always rely on him. He made me come here three years ago and helped me greatly with the work and accommodation. But teaching is not his first priority. In 2009 he published his first book and he has specialised in writing since then. He doesn't speak only English, he speaks Spanish, Italian, German and French. I make my students read his books, and it helps us a lot in studying. We live in different parts of Moscow. I live in the very outskirts of our fair capital. The underground station nearest to me is Kuzminki. But he lives in one of the picturesque parts of Moscow . It only takes him 2 minutes to walk to the National Reserve Kolomenskoie.

- Which of you is a writer?

- My friend is.

- Does he know English?

- Yes, he does.

- Does he know only English?

- No, he can speak five foreign languages.

- Such as ...

- ... such as French, German, Spanish, Italian and he can read Latin.

- What does he often speak about with you?

- We usually speak about our work.

- What is he going to do tonight?

- He is going to continue writing a new book.

- Do you go to work by car?

- No, I don't.

- And what about your bosom friend? Does he go to work by car?

- No.

- Why not? Can't he afford it?

- Of course he can, but he doesn't want to, because for him it is much faster to go by underground.

Lesson 3

Larisa Alexeyeva is one of the best teachers of English in Siberia. She is a pensioner, but she still works a lot. She works in one of the most prestigious schools in Novosibirsk - School #110.

Her students like her very much. Before working in the school she had worked for nearly twenty years at the Teacher-Training College as a lecturer and for ten years as a dean's assistant. At the school she works six days a week. She works on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. She does not work only on Sunday. But it is only at the school. She also gives private lessons. Sometimes she translates contracts for joint ventures. Her former students are now directors and presidents of big international firms and they don't want to give them to any other translators, because they can trust only her. After translating contracts they discuss a lot of questions with her.

She usually begins work at eight a.m. and she usually finishes it at 7 p.m.

- Who works at School # 110?

- Larisa Alexeyeva does.

- Does she work very much?

- Yes, she works a lot.

- Whom does she often receive at home?

- After her lessons at school she often receives her former students, who are presidents and directors of joint ventures.

- What does she do it for?

- Because they ask her to translate contracts.

- Why do they ask her and not other translators?

- Because they trust only her.

- How long does her working day last?

- It is always unpredictable.

Lesson 4

Lydia Myasnikova (1911-2005)

The Honoured Artist of RSFSR (1951); the People's Artist of RSFSR (1955); the People's Artist of the USSR (1960)

Lydia Myasnikova is a Soviet Russian mezzo-soprano. At the height of her fame she was acknowledged as one of the greatest opera singers, thanks to her outstanding stage presence and her vocal abilities.

She was born in a small Siberian town Tomsk, Russia, on September 21st (8th) 1911. She was the fourth child in the family of a well-known Siberian doctor.

At the age of 21 she graduated from the Tomsk Musical Technical School. When a student she performed her first opera part - Lyudmila in "Ruslan and Lyudmila" by Glinka.

When she was 22 she left for Leningrad, where she successfully passed the entrance examinations to the conservatoire and became a student of the vocal department. In the class of Professor M.I. Brian. After graduating from the conservatoire she, as one of the best students, became a post graduate student. But she had to leave the post graduate studies unfinished and move back to Tomsk because the Great Patriotic War broke. There she became a soloist of MosConcert and performed in hospitals for the wounded soldiers.

In 1944 she was invited to perform in the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre. Her first part was Carmen in the opera Carmen by Bizet. She played many roles throughout her career such as Marina Mnishek "Boris Godunov", Marfa "Hovanshchina", Ljubasha "The zar's bride", Azucena " il Trovatore", Eboli "Don Carlos", Amneris "Aida", Countess "The Queen of Spades", Djachiha "Her stepdaughter" Leosh Janachek, the first performance in the USSR, 1958.

Her interpretation of Azucena " il Trovatore" was acknowledged as the best in the USSR. She was one of the best tour-soloists of the Bolshoi Theatre of the 20th century.

She also went on tour abroad in Czechoslovakia in 1959.

In spite of being a provincial singer she made a lot of recordings under the baton of such leading conductors as Maestro Guliaev (Russian songs and romances) and Maestro Katz (opera arias).

She also appeared in the film "Lydia Myasnikova sings"

On December, 9th 1960 she was the first performer in the Asian part of the USSR (from the Urals to the Far East) to be awarded the title of the People's Artist of USSR.

From 1966 till 1997 she taught in the Novosibirsk Conservatoire (from 1981 the Professor).

In 1983 she became the fifth Honourable Citizen in Novosibirsk's 90-year history.

In honour of Myasnikova is named the audience where she taught in the Novosibirsk Conservatoire .

In 2008 the First Myasnikova Inter-Regional Competition of the academic singing held place.

Awards: Order of the Labour Red Banner (1967)

Lesson 5

When I get home after work I enjoy searching through my favourite web sites, such as "Love.ru", "Loveplanet.ru", "Mylove.ru", and a few other sites of a similar nature.

About a month ago, I made an acquaintance with a Canadian girl. To my surprise, just a day later she promised to come to Moscow for a weekend. I, in turn, promised I would do my best to show her the best sights, take her to our best theatres, and treat her to a special meal in one of the most prestigious restaurants of our capital. She asked me all about sight-seeing in Moscow, as well as our traditions and culture. Then, three days before the trip, Catherine (that was the girl's name) changed her tune and our conversations began to revolve around one thing only - food.

She went out of her way trying to convince me that the best food as well as the best eating habits were only in North America. You see, born in Canada, she had recently moved to live in the US, so she now believed she belonged to that country. She kept on telling me, that there was nothing like American food, `in the whole wide world'.

Four days ago she arrived in Russia.

I met her at Sheremetievo and instead of heading straight to my house we decided to visit a few sights in the city centre.

First, we went to Pushkin Square.

If you think that Catherine, like many other foreigners, had heard nothing about Pushkin, you are absolutely wrong.

The very first question she asked me, standing with her back to the monument, was: "Dmitry, do you often go to the world's well-known restaurants the Tourandot and the Pushkin?"

"Yes, three or four times a week, but ..."

"But what ...?"

"But it was before we met, or better to say before the heated argument we had on healthy eating, which you really managed to win! You did persuade me that the healthiest food is in America and nowhere else, but in America.

So I go only to McDonald's. In fact, since the day of your triumph I have been there every day twice a day.

"And where are we going to have lunch?" she asked me timidly.

"To have lunch, to have a good lunch, to have the best lunch one can find in Moscow we are going to ...."

" ... to the Tourandot? Let's go there, Dmitry, it is quite near!"

" No, not to the Tourandot!"

"To the Pushkin then?"

"Neither"

"Where? Where are you taking me then?" she asked me, almost in tears.

Thanks to you I DO enjoy your American food, so DO be patriotic as much as you can and enjoy my enjoyment."

And naturally, we went to McDonald's.

After eating well a rather enjoyable meal we decided to go to the theatre. Of course it was the Bolshoi, but the dancers were from Novosibirsk. They performed three short American ballets. The performance was quite good and not very long. We did not want to go home so early and decided to have dinner in a luxurious restaurant. So we went to ... McDonald's. Not to the one we went to in the afternoon, but a different one this time, the one in Tverskaia Street near the Central Post Office.

At dinner she asked me twice as timidly as before: "Dmitry, why are you only eating French fries? Why have you ordered no Big-Macs, no cheeseburgers, no hamburgers? It seems strange, after all your words of admiration for the American eating culture."

"Dear Catherine, I am on my way to perfection! To the perfection in my eating habits. I do want to enjoy the very health of your healthiest food, but I can't. At least not yet. You are a clever girl, and you surely understand that one can't perfect oneself in two or three days. It takes a much longer period. So fries are quite enough for me for the time being, but you... you can order anything you wish, anything you desire, anything you strive for .

After that we finally got home.

The following morning we woke up late, very late, we didn't get up until about one in the afternoon. It seemed unreasonable to waste time on cooking, so we decided to have lunch in a restaurant. We went to ... McDonald's. Surely it was a new one. It was the one in Old Arbat Street, a pedestrian street, famous all over the world. Catherine ate so much, that she could not even taste the cake in the Prague Restaurant. But I could.

Then we took a rather long walk to the Kremlin. Sitting on a bench in the Alexander Garden, Catherine told me that there was only three and a half hours left before her flight back to Canada.

We still had some time before going to the airport by underground, so I asked her: "Dear Catherine, what would you enjoy more in these thirty minutes, a visit to Red Square and Saint Basil Cathedral, or a nice meal?"

... five minutes later we were enjoying the ever healthiest food in McDonald's.

That time it was not just any ordinary McDonald's, but the most prestigious one, the one in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Where else on Earth can one find a McDonald's less than 100 metres away from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

Unfortunately, we had no time to go to the Bolshoi again, but Dear Catherine didn't mind that at all - she was incredibly happy that she had managed to change my eating habits.

On the way to the airport, I made her a solemn promise, (as you already know, if I promise to do something, I do it),

`Dear Catherine', I said, `if you agree to marry me, I promise I'll book a table in our favourite restaurant ... in McDonald's.

I was watching the big silver bird take my dear Catherine far away from me and I knew then that I was too old for changes of any kind, let alone changing my eating habits.

It's been two days since her departure and I still haven't heard from her. Perhaps it isn't such a bad thing after all!?

Lesson 6

This man is my friend. His name is Basil. He is a cook in a luxurious restaurant in Moscow. And this is his wife Helen. She is a cook too. Eleven years ago they were both students of mine at the university, but in his third year Basil met someone who offered him a job, translating recipes from some exotic cookery books. He enjoyed the work so much, that he decided to cook himself and got his wife interested in cooking.

Since then they both have specialised in this work.

Every afternoon on week days they go to the restaurant and prepare delicious dishes. It is not easy to book a table in their five star restaurant, as there are a lot of regular customers. They like their regular customers very much, and the regular customers like them even more.

My friend and his wife work too much. Sometimes they have no days off. In the morning when they have some free time they like walking in the park or riding bicycles.

-- What is your friend's name?

-- What does he do for a living?

-- Is he married?

-- What did they both do 11 years ago?

-- What happened in their third year at the university?

-- What kind of restaurant do they both work in?

Lesson 7

My brother graduated from his university in Moscow 15 years ago and went to work in Irkutsk. He is a lawyer. At first he worked for an Italian-Russian joint venture for two years. He liked his work very much; he learned Italian and went on business trips to Italy quite often and also to Italian Switzerland. In Switzerland he learned both German and French. As for English he had learned it before going to Irkutsk. So he became a polyglot; and being both a good lawyer and a polyglot he managed to return to Moscow. Only six months after his coming back he started his business, which is now prosperous. By the way, before going to Irkutsk he had also managed to get married his group-mate.

Or rather his group-mate had managed to make him marry her.

Now they have got three children. Two boys and a girl.

This is a plan of my brother's flat. It is a two-storeyed flat.

On the first floor there is a lounge, a bathroom, a sitting-room and a dining-room.

On the second floor there are four bedrooms (for each child and for the parents), a guest room and there is also a living room, where you could enjoy a home cinema.

Look at the plan, please.

In the middle of the lounge there is a glass square table with a gigantic vase of fruit on it. In the corner next to the window there is a big TV-set and a DVD-recorder.

My brother prefers the cinema to the theatre and he has got a whole collection of Russian, French, Italian and American films.

He agrees that it is much better to see a film at the cinema, but he is too short of time.

His wife is a theatre-goer, she is a lawyer too, a very good lawyer but she has to stay at home with their three children. But she has never regretted, that she decided to devote all her life to the children, who are intelligent, noisy and not too obedient.

Professionally she helps my brother a lot.

Frankly, I can't make out how she manages to cope with everything.

The eldest son Peter is fifteen years old. He goes to an English school and he knows English perfectly; he can read M. Twain and Ch. Dickens in the original, to say nothing of "Alice in Wonderland", which was his first book read in English.

The second son Alex is two years younger. He doesn't like school and studying too much, but he is crazy about tennis and football. He is not fond of reading and spends all his time on tennis trying to improve his game. Alex wants to become a professional tennis-player when he grows up. If the weather is more or less good, he never stays indoors. He immediately rushes out to play with his friends.

Even if he reads books, or rather he has to read, he prefers to do it in the park.

Their third child is a pretty girl, who is only five years old, but she can read and write.

All of us adore her, because she is the family's greatest treasure.

-- What is in the middle of the sitting-room?

-- In the middle of the sitting-room there is a big table.

-- What is in the corner near the window?

-- There is a TV-set with a DVD-recorder under it.

-- What is next to the TV-set?

-- Next to the TV-set there is a sofa.

-- How many chairs are there in the sitting-room?

-- In the sitting-room there are five big chairs.

-- Which style of furniture does my brother prefer?

-- My brother prefers the Russian style of the 19th century.

-- Where does he get his furniture from?

-- I have asked him many times about it, but ...

-- ... but what?

-- But he always refuses to tell me anything.

-- How many rooms are there in your brother's flat?

-- I have never counted.

Lesson 8

We all like watching old foreign films. But it is so hard to find a good old film, that all of us go to the videoteca which is near our office.

There are only good copies, so you can be sure, that you will enjoy both the picture and the sound.

Eliza the Unregistered likes going there more than anybody in our firm. Frankly speaking, she goes there twice as often as any of us, because she has not got any DVDs at home.

Right now Eliza the Unregistered is in the videoteca speaking to a librarian.

-- Good morning.

-- Are there any interesting DVDs in at the moment?

-- What kind of films are you interested in?

-- I would like to watch some American films.

-- The modern or the classical ones?

-- I do prefer the classical films.

-- Which, may I ask, are your favourite?

-- I adore "My Fair Lady", "Cleopatra" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".

-- What a taste you have got! But do you know, that you can borrow only one film at a time, and not more than for three days. For three days only.

-- Unfortunately, I do know it.

-- Why are you so unfortunate?

-- Because I have been fined a few times for delaying.

-- Oh, how thrilling! How many times have you been unfortunate?

-- Three.

-- And may I ask you, how much it has been?

-- Oh, it has always been different. The first time it was 100 rubles a day, the second time 300, and the third time 500. Isn't it enormous?

-- I am afraid it is not!

-- But it is! 500 rubles is a little less than $20!!!

-- And have you always paid in cash?

-- No! Of course not! My firm has paid all the three times, but then they have taken the money from my salary.

-- So, which film would you like to see?

-- I do wish to see "My Fair Lady".

-- Have you never seen it?

-- Of course, I have. I have seen it 7 times, but the film is so wonderful, that I would enjoy seeing it again and again.

The librarian goes away and soon comes back.

-- I am really sorry, but all the films with your favourite actress are out at the moment. Can I bring you "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"?

-- Oh, yes. Do please!

So the librarian brings the film, Eliza the Unregistered takes it and leaves the videoteca.

Lesson 9

(a telephone conversation)

-- Hallo. Excuse me please, could I speak to Eliza Growns?

-- That is me.

-- Is that you?! What has happened? Your voice is hardly recognizable.

-- So I am likely to become rich, incredibly rich.

-- Let it be so, but why did you not come to work yesterday?

-- Oh, I felt very bad yesterday. I woke up three hours later than usual, I did want to get up and to go straight to work, but I simply was not able to.

-- I have already guessed that it was beyond your ability, but what had happened to you before you could not get up?

-- I can't tell you. The doctor is coming today.

-- Have you got a temperature?

-- Oh, I have not taken it yet.

-- Have you got a headache?

-- A terrible one. Absolutely unbearable.

- Are you suffering from coughing or sneezing?

- Last night I coughed so loudly, that I was afraid I could wake up my neighbours.

- But where on Earth have you got all that from?

- The day before yesterday I went to a party organised by my former students. They celebrated their firm's anniversary.

- Oh, did they?

- Oh, yes they did! We ate a lot, we drank a lot, we sang beautiful songs, unfortunately we could not dance ...

- ... why not?

- We could not dance because we had eaten a lot and we had drunk a lot.

- How much have you drunk?

- You see I am a hearty eater, but I usually don't drink much. But that very evening was something special, and it became an exception.

- Why was it?

- It was a hard choice to make. To enjoy either French champagne, or Armenian cognac, or Russian vodka. In the end I did enjoy cocktails.

- How did you get back home?

- After the party I decided to go on foot.

- I see you had enjoyed the alcohol so much, that you forgot, that you don't live in the centre. Which restaurant was the party in?

- I do not remember.

- Really?

- Do not ask me again about it. I can say that I had to walk about three kilometres on a windy, rainy night. Yesterday I could not get up to go to work, and today you woke me up and now you know everything.

- So you must see the doctor as soon as possible. And please let me know what he tells you.

Lesson # 10

Dear Susan,

I beg your pardon, that I did not write you a week ago as I had promised, but I had really been involved in too many problems.

Frankly speaking I did not want to write you a few lines, but a very good and long letter, as you always do, telling you how adventurous our moving to the new flat was.

But now I have got a little spare time to write a few invitations to our friends. And right now I am writing my first letter; I am writing it to you.

I think you could come to our house warming party in spite of the lack of warning. You perfectly know the house we moved in. It is near to the Bolshoi Theatre. The house is old, but very comfortable.

When we were students, we, being excited after the performances of our beloved theatre, used to make long walks in the centre, dreaming that one day we could buy some property in one of those houses.

And now I can tell you that my dream has come true!

So you are the first of the guests.

If you can come, let us know as soon as possible. You could stay for a night. We could put you up in the guestroom.

My parents will be also very happy to see you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love to all

Basil and Alice.

Lesson 11

Mr. Peters and Mr. Jones are middle-aged English gentlemen. They came here to Moscow to witness quite a special occasion. We met on May, 21. It was the Cup of Europe. The final. MU versus Chelsea. Mr. Peters is a Chelsea fan, Mr. Jones is a fan of Manchester United. They are bosom friends and work for the same company in Paris. They decided to come to Russia for such a match. But speaking to us they complained that on their way to the final, they had had to overcome plenty of difficulties.

The first one - visas.

At first there had been some fears that the Russian Embassy would not be able to cope with issuing visas to all the fans, but the Russian Government did help greatly and the English fans were grateful for that.

The second - accommodation in Moscow, which appeared to be closely connected with the third - how to get to Moscow.

Going by train - too much time. From London it could take up to 2 and a half days. From Manchester even three. They could not afford to waste so much time.

Going by plane - much faster, no doubt about it, but it is so unpredictable. It has always been and it will always be.

If they leave for Moscow on the day of the final, no doubt the flight will be delayed. Being informed of the traffic jams on week days in the capital of Russia they decided to try something else.

If they come the day before the match, it could be twice as expensive as on an ordinary day even if they were lucky enough to find a cheap hotel. But cheap hotels can never be found in Moscow, even on ordinary days, and on that day all the prices were doubled.

They were completely at a loss. But unexpectedly they were given some good advice by their Russian colleague:

"Why not come to St Petersburg by plane the first thing in the morning. If the flight is not delayed you will have the whole day to see the sights. And then take a night train to Moscow. Even the first class, or the sleeper as we call it, is much cheaper than the "cheapest" hotel in Moscow. So you won't have to think of accommodation".

They liked the idea.

We were sitting in the bar, having four hours left before the match.

"And all the troubles are in the past, are not they?" we asked politely.

"Almost, but there has still been one. In a foreign country we do like to taste some local beer, but by the time we entered the bar, all the beer had been drunk"

We wanted to take them round the capital and to show them some of the sights, but at that very moment a manager from the firm called us and we had to go to the office.

Lesson 12

I work in the very centre of Moscow near underground station Mayakovskaya. Usually I have lunch at 1 p.m., but yesterday we received our Australian colleague, a professor from Canberra, and I wanted to show her the best restaurant in Moscow.

What will do for a girl from Canada will not necessarily do for a professor from the evergreen continent. So I took her to the Pushkin.

Business lunch there is rather pricey, but the cuisine is superb. Everything there could be enjoyed: the food, which is the best I have ever eaten, the service, the waiters are the most friendly, I have ever met and the decoration of the halls is absolutely lovely.

Right after taking seats we were given the menu, there were three choices for business lunch (or the table d'hТte) one better than another.

I preferred a Siberian salad, ocroshka and salmon with vegetables. Our Australian friend chose a European variant. But we both drank a lot of kvas.

Kvas was quite a surprise for her. She had heard a lot about this typical Russian drink before coming. But as soon as she had tasted it she kept on drinking it one glass after another.

-- Do you always go to this restaurant for the table d'hТte?

-- Surely. I do try to.

-- And you never miss it?

-- I may not go, if I have to work during the lunch hour, or if I stay at home, but if I am in the centre, and I have some forty to fifty spare minutes, there can't be any other choice for me. The Pushkin and nothing but the Pushkin.

-- Before leaving for Russia I had heard a lot about a few other masterpieces of Russian cuisine which one can never get in western countries ...

-- .. such as ...

-- ... such as tvorog, kefir, sguschenka, seledka and medovukha. Could you advise me a restaurant, where I could enjoy all that?

-- I would love to.

We did want to stay at the restaurant a bit longer and enjoy the typical Russian dessert as well, but we were too short of time. I had to go back to the office and the professor went to the university.

Камни преткновения

- любые явления, будь то грамматические, фонетические, лексические, которые в одном языке есть, а в другом отсутствуют.

Первый из камушков преткновения для изучающих язык Шекспира -- артикли.

В Русском их нет, и надо понять, чем, какими средствами они заменяются.

В грамматике камней преткновения немало, есть маленькие, есть побольше, есть крупные, есть микроскопические, есть критические, а есть и незначительные.

Английские времена так досконально изучены, с разнообразных точек зрения, о них так много написано, что, кажется, невозможно найти в толковании их структур нечто оригинальное.

Но давайте попробуем.

Английские времена выражают, в отличие от русских, не действие, а к данному действию отношение. Отношение говорящего. Отношение субъективное, но, все-таки, прежде всего отношение к действию, а не само действие.

То есть в английских временах субъективность на первом месте.

Так как говорящий, рассказывая о действии, рассказывает не обо всём действии, он предоставляет лишь дозированную информацию. Иногда крайне дозированную.

Для англоговорящих, если судить по их временам, намного важнее то, что они думают о действии, нежели само действие.

Сравните

Jane watches TV every day.

Jane is watching TV now.

Jane has watched TV twice this week.

Jane has been watching TV for an hour.

Джейн смотрит телевизор каждый день.

Джейн смотрит телевизор сейчас.

Джейн смотрела телевизор дважды на этой неделе.

Джейн смотрит телевизор целый час.

Из 4 русских примеров 3 в настоящем времени.

Почему в 3-м примере время прошедшее?

Потому что перевод неправильный, точнее неполноценный.

Если переводить буквально, то -

Джейн смотрела телевизор дважды на этой неделе и, возможно ещё посмотрит.

Сравните

Jane watched TV yesterday.

Jane was watching TV yesterday at 5 p.m.

Jane had watched TV by 7 p.m. yesterday.

Jane had been watching TV for an hour before my coming.

Джейн смотрела телевизор вчера.

Джейн смотрела телевизор вчера в 5 часов вечера.

Джейн посмотрела телевизор до 7 часов вечера вчера.

Джейн смотрела телевизор час, до того как я пришёл.

Present Indefinite - Present Continuous

He often listens to pop music. Постоянно повторяющееся действие.

He is not listening to pop music now. Действие, происходящее в данный момент.

Peter is smiling. He always smiles when he is happy.

Jane is laughing. She is watching Benny Hill on TV. She always laughs when she watches Benny.

Но есть ситуации, когда переход Present Indefinite - Present Continuous - больше, чем переход, так как появляются дополнительные оттенки значений, дополнительные нюансы.

He speaks English very well. He is speaking English very well.

Where do you come from? Where are you coming from?

He often listens to loud music. He is always listening to loud music.

Every time he speaks English he speaks very well.

Whenever he speaks English he speaks very well.

He is speaking English very well.

В данный момент он говорит по-английски хорошо, а как хорош его английский был до и как хорош он будет после настоящего момента ....

Where do you come from? = Where are you from? // Откуда Вы родом? Какое Ваше происхождение?

Where are you coming from? // Откуда Вы приедите? Из какого пункта?

He often listens to loud music. - Постоянно повторяющееся действие.

He is always listening to loud music.

Тоже постоянно повторяющееся действие, но оно вызывает у говорящего раздражение.

Очень часто задают вопрос: "Как настоящее время может выражать будущее?"

Jane is watching TV now. Jane is watching TV tonight.

Повторюсь, английские времена выражают, в отличии от русских, не действие, а к данному действию отношение.

Для русских это действие -- будущее, а для англичан -- настоящее.

Jane is watching TV tonight.

Значит, что у Джейн вечер уже спланирован. Она очень хочет посмотреть телевизор сегодня вечером, и свои планы менять не собирается. То есть, действие уже происходит, происходит в данный момент (поэтому и Present), оно в процессе развития (поэтому и Continuous). Пусть действие происходит не фактически, а морально, психологически, но оно происходит. И вечером Джейн останется удобно устроиться перед телевизором и включить его.

- Could I invite you to the theatre tonight?

- I would like to go with you, but I can't.

- Why?

- Because today is the Сup of Europe so I am watching TV tonight.

1996 г.

Задолго до 3 июля, задолго до президентских выборов вся страна только и думала за кого голосовать. То есть процесс шел задолго до события. А 3 июля всем оставалось только прийти на избирательный участок и поставить галочку.

We are having the presidential elections on the third of July.

Та же ситуация и в самолёте. Вас интересует, когда будет посадка. А так как посадка самолета -- действие, спланированное -- то вопрос (на английском) можно задать только в Present Continuous.

When are we landing?

1. He is having dinner with Alice tonight.

2. He is going to have dinner with Alice tonight.

3. He will have dinner with Alice tonight.

4. He would have dinner with Alice tonight.

-- Значит, что действие было спланировано до того, как об этом говорится.

То есть и он, и Алиса запланировали сегодня вечером ужин.

Вероятность того, что действие будет реализовано, очень высокая.

-- Значит, что говорящий собирается совершить действие лишь в данный момент. А знает ли Алиса о его планах ...

Вероятность того, что действие будет реализовано, ниже, чем в первом случае, но тоже достаточно высока.

-- Will - просто желание. И будет ли оно реализовано ...

-- Would -- желание ещё меньшее.

This is a dialogue between Eliza Groans and a human resources manager.

Eliza is calling Moscow, because she wants to make sure that there is some good work available for her.

? Why are you thinking of working in Moscow?

? Because in Moscow one can get much more money.

Eliza is thinking of working in Moscow, because she wants to make much more money.

? Does the trip from Novosibirsk to Moscow take long?

? No, not at all. It only takes two days by train.

The trip from Novosibirsk to Moscow is not long, it only takes two days by train.

? Do you like big and noisy cities?

? No.

? How are you going to survive here then?

? I do hope to get accustomed to it, because I think, I will be very busy with work.

? Have you found any accommodation yet?

? No.

? Do you like all food, or are you particular about something?

? I can cook and I hate the food in cheap canteens such as the Hkru-Hkru and the Lopaty.

? Oh! For us they are quite good, and not cheap at all. If you have got some free time, what are thinking of doing in Moscow?

? I like the theatre and the cinema.

? Which do you prefer?

? The cinema.

- Then, why not stay in Siberia for ever?! The cinema is anywhere the cinema, even in Siberia?! Are you thinking of coming here alone? Or could somebody accompany you?

? My boyfriend could go with me.

? Does he like your idea of coming here?

? No, he is absolutely against it.

? Could he make you not come here?

? I really don't think so, because he is only half, oh what I am saying! Not a half, a quarter as rich as I need.

? Really? Is he only a quarter as rich as you need? Why is he your boyfriend then?

? He is rich enough, but only for N-sk. But in Moscow ...

? What is the difference between N-sk and Moscow?

? Moscow is too unpredictable, is not it?

Камни преткновения

Первый из камушков преткновения для изучающих язык Шекспира -- артикли.

В Русском их нет, и надо понять, чем, какими средствами они заменяются.

Но первый из значимых - Present Perfect -Past Indefinite

Эти времена путают, путают постоянно, и не только Русские.

Англичане же не понимают, в чем проблема. Для них эти времена абсолютно разные. И они не понимают, как эти времена вообще можно путать!

Present Perfect - включает настоящий момент, а Past Indefinite настоящий момент исключает.

То есть, все действия, выраженные в Present Perfect можно изменить.

Если действие совершается, то его можно прекратить, или продолжать делать.

I have been to Italy twice.

То есть, я могу приехать в Италию ещё и раз и два и три....а могу и прекратить поездки.

I have not been to Italy yet.

То есть я в Италии ещё не был, но могу приехать.

Сравните:

I have worked for this foreign company for two years. I have been married three times.

I have not worked for this foreign company. I have not been married.

I was in Italy last summer. I was not in Italy last summer.

I did not work for this foreign company last year. I was not married when I lived in London.

last summer; last year; when I lived in London - все эти периоды закончены, и у нас нет машины времени, чтобы вернуться в прошлое лето, в прошлый год, или в то время, когда я жил в Лондоне, и побывать в Италии, и поработать на иностранную компанию, и жениться.

Вот и вся разница!

Давайте проанализируем!

My parents have been married for 25 years.

My parents got married 25 years ago.

Мои родители 25 лет назад поженились, оба живы, и 25 лет живут вместе.

Мои родители 25 лет назад поженились. А живут ли они вместе до сих пор, и живы ли они?

Прежде чем перевернуть страницу, попробуйте объяснить разницу:

Представьте, Вы провожаете иностранных гостей в аэропорту. Как Вы их спросите?

What did you see in Moscow? // What have you seen in Moscow?

Если ... did you see ... то это очень грубо.

Это значит, либо их в Москву больше не пустят, либо вы им глаза выколете ...

Если ... have you seen ... то это нейтрально.

Это значит, что у них есть ещё возможность, пусть даже и теоритическая, ещё раз приехать в Москву и продолжить осмотр достопримечательностей.

Но если добавить обстоятельство времени, то грубость исчезает.

What did you see in Moscow during your visit?

И фраза звучит нейтрально.

I have been given a pay rise twice this year.

I was given a pay rise twice this year.

Это значит, что у вас есть ещё возможность, пусть даже и теоритическая, ещё раз получить прибавку к зарплате в этом году.

Это значит, что вы не верите, что есть ещё возможность, пусть даже и теоретическая, ещё раз получить прибавку к зарплате, несмотря на то, что год ещё не кончился.

- А разве могут такие слова как this week, this month, this year употребляться с Past Indefinite?

- Могут. И не только такие как this week, this month, this year, но даже и today, если речь идёт о действии по своей природе - одноразовом.

- На пример?

- Сегодня я проснулся в 7 утра, в 7-15 моя жена принесла мне кофе в постель, я позавтракал, встал, умылся, оделся и пошёл на работу.

В данной ситуации today звучит естественно. Но "I was given a pay rise twice this year". - отдаёт безысходностью.

Present Perfect - включает настоящий момент, и, естественно, употребляется только с обстоятельствами времени, которые настоящий момент включают:

recently; in the last few days; already; so far; today; not yet...

Past Indefinite настоящий момент исключает и, естественно, употребляется только с обстоятельствами времени, которые настоящий момент исключают.

Yesterday; on Friday; last year (month, week); a week (month, year) ago; in 1999...

Но есть обстоятельства времени, которые требуют уточнения:

At 10 a.m. What have you done this morning? At 1 p.m. What did you do this morning?

At 1 p.m. What have you done this afternoon? At 7 p.m. What did you do this afternoon?

Ask at any time "What have you done this evening?"

Но, насколько я хорошо знаю потомков Шекспира, любой англичанин даже 31 декабря в 23-59 скажет: On December, 31 at 23-59 ...I have been given a pay rise twice this year.

c. are for girls. // d. out of fashion

2) a. unlucky b. strong enough

c. lucky // d. healthy

3) a. collection b. choice

c. museum // d. exhibition

NB. Одна из самых часто повторяемых ошибок.

Прежде чем перевернуть страницу, попробуйте объяснить разницу:

I have thought of going to Spain again. I thought of going to Spain again.

I thought of going to Spain again, but I have already been there five times, and I would like to try somewhere new.

I have already been five times to Spain, but I have thought of going to this wonderful country again, because I miss it greatly.

Всё что в курсиве, можно и не произносить. Более того, эти объяснения пишут исключительно для иностранцев. У англичан подобные мысли возникают сами по себе.

Часто выбор времени субъективен:

I have spent a lot of money this year.

I bought a lot of books last month.

В этом году я потратил много денег, и траты ещё предстоят.

Я купил много книг в прошлом месяце и больше книг покупать не собираюсь.

I have lived in London for 5 years.// Я уже 5 лет как живу в Лондоне.

I lived in London for 5 years.// Я жил в Лондоне 5 лет.

I have lived and worked in London for 5 years, and I would like to change it for some warmer climate. But my work is so important, that I can't.

I lived in London for 5 years. Now I live in Moscow and like it much better.

To be

- Камень преткновения в Камне преткновения.

have been + to = Past Indefinite.

have been + in = Present Perfect у нормальных глаголов.

I have been to Rome and I have been to Paris, but I have never been to Uryupinsk yet!?

I have lived in London for 5 years. = I have been in London for 5 years.

I lived in London for 5 years. = I stayed in London for 5 years.

I have seen Alisa Freindlich on the stage. // I saw Faina Ranevskaya on the stage.

Так как Алиса Фрейндлих, дай Бог ей здоровья, здравствует и в великолепной актёрской форме, значит, что у всех у нас есть ещё возможность, пусть даже и теоритическая, ещё раз увидеть её на сцене.

Фаина Раневская, к величайшему сожалению, уже в лучшем из миров, и наслаждаться её мастерством можно только в записях.

William Shakespeare wrote 36 plays.

Nikolai Soliary has written three volumes of the novel "The Magician's Great Mystery"

Present Indefinite - Present Perfect

The neighbous are very kind to us.

The neighbous have been very kind to us.

Значит, что соседи к нам доброжелательны всегда.

Значит, что соседи к нам доброжелательны лишь на данный момент.

This man is my friend. His name is Basil. He is a cook in a luxurious restaurant in Moscow. And this is his wife Helen. She is a cook too. Eleven years ago they were both students of mine at the university, but in his third year Basil met someone who offered him a job,	1/2
translating recipes from some exotic cookery books. He enjoyed the work so much, that he	3
decided to cook himself and got his wife interested in cooking.	4/5
Since then they have specialised in this work. They have both found that there are a lot of advantages in that work. The best of the advantages is that it enables them to get in touch with Very Important People.	6/7
First they worked in a French restaurant for a year; then they were invited to an Italian	8/9
restaurant, where they worked for three years. After that they got the job in one of the best	10/11
Russian restaurants of the capital, where they have worked for the last 7 years.	12
For the first two years they worked as chef assistants. Then when the chef retired,	13/14
they hoped that they would become the first cooks in the restaurant, but the owner invited	15/16
another chef from Paris, who worked in the restaurant for four years.	17
And only after that they were appointed the chefs and they have worked as the first cooks in the restaurant for a year.	18/19
Since their first day of working they have experienced not only in French, Italian and	20
Russian cuisine, but from time to time they have collaborated with Brazilian, Chinese and Ethiopian restaurants.	21
They have learned a lot from their foreign colleagues, and in turn they have taught their colleagues some peculiarities of the Russian cuisine. Every afternoon on week days they go to the restaurant and prepare delicious dishes. It is not easy to book a table in their five star restaurant, as there are a lot of regular customers. They like their regular customers very much, and the regular customers like them even more. My friend and his wife work too much. Sometimes they have no days off. In the morning when they have some free time they like walking in the park or riding bicycles.	22/23
They adore their job and they have never regretted their decision to follow this career.	24

А теперь я предлагаю Вам, господа мои хорошие,

сделать упражнение, о котором Вы, не побоюсь такого звонкого слова, давным-давно мечтали, но учебники, все, как один, эту тему, игнорировали.

Многие из нас бывали на банкетах с иностранцами, и многим из нас приходилось произносить тосты, но дальше косноязычных "At your health!!!" + "To our friendship!!!" ...

Предлагаю, в качестве тренинга для будущих банкетов, перевести телеграммы:

Творческий вечер в театре, посвящённый 70-летию со дня рождения Мясниковой и 50-летию творческой деятельности, состоялся 29 октября 1981 г. В программе вечера были: Графиня из 2-го действия "Пиковой дамы" и Азучена из 4-го действия "Трубадура".

Translate the telegrams in writing:

... я живослышал Мясникову

Расположенный на скрещении двух главных артерий России -- транссибирской магистрали и могучей реки Обь, Новосибирск вобрал в себя энергию севера и юга, запада и востока.

И невозможно, побывав в великом граде сибирском, не впитать в себя хоть частицу уникальной животворящей энергии.

Но среди граждан Новосибирска есть избранные из избранных, кто впитывая энергию города, стоящего на пересечении биоритмов Великой России, возвращал ее городу с необыкновенной щедростью сибирской.

Я бывалый театрал. Я живослышал многие шедевры, которые навсегда вписаны золотыми буквами в историю Русского театра, Русского искусства. Я живослышал Миронова, Папанова, Смоктуновского, Леонова, Янковского, Образцову, Атлантова,Милашкину.

Но два самых больших потрясения -- живослышанье спектаклей "Трубадур" в Новосибирском Театре Оперы и Балета и "А дальше тишина" в театре Моссовета с Фаиной Раневской и Ростиславом Пляттом.

Впервые я испытал неизмеримую гордость за родной город и великое счастье от живослышанья гениальной русской певицы в 1974 г. Это был "Трубадур". Ее любимая роль. Она была признана лучшей исполнительницей роли Азучены в СССР. И мне так понравился спектакль, что я до сих пор помню все мизансцены.

Лидия Владимировна Мясникова. Ее взлет в элиту русского театра был стремителен. Стремителен, даже по нынешним столичным меркам. А что уж говорить о далеких послевоенных годах провинциального сибирского города.

1945 -- первое выступление в роли Кармен.

1951 -- заслуженная артистка России.

1955 -- народная артистка России.

И наконец 1960 год. Год триумфа. В 49 лет Лидии Владимировне Мясниковой первой за Уралом было присвоено звание Народной Артистки СССР.

Кому в России, хоть что-нибудь удалось сделать впервые, поймет, какой это был великий гражданский подвиг.

Она подняла театр на высоту лучших столичных. Многие коллеги откровенно говорят, что обязаны ей своими званиями и наградами. И спустя всего три года за ее триумфом был уже и триумф театра.

В 1963 г. театру (первому из провинциальных) было присвоено звание "Академический". Потом были другие победы театра. Не менее значимые, не менее славные ..., но в каждой из побед чувствовался ее вклад, ее базис, ее творческий стержень.

Ее значимость для театра и для города трудно переоценить. Достаточно вспомнить на одном из юбилеев театра слова академика Лаврентьева М.А.:

"Когда было принято решение о строительстве Академгородка, то вариантов было много. Но мы ученые выбрали Новосибирск. Потому что здесь есть такой замечательный театр".

Лидия Владимировна Мясникова. В 1983 г. она стала пятым за девяностолетнюю историю почетным гражданином города!

Почти 30 лет прошло с последнего выступления, но не угасает память о ней в сердцах благодарных поклонников.

И сейчас, когда разорваны все границы, когда по интернету можно выкупить билеты и в Ла Скала, и в Метрополитен Опера ...

... до острой боли хочется сесть в машину времени и вернуться в далекий 1974 год, в Новосибирск, в театр оперы и балета, на спектакль "Трубадур", где блистала великая русская трагическая актриса, гениальная певица Лидия Владимировна Мясникова.

Методика двойного чтения.

Basic Elementary

Грамматика в скороговорках -- 1

Elementary - Pre-Intermediate.

Грамматика в скороговорках -- 2

Идея этой книги проста. Проста настолько, что просто удивительно,

как никто из моих коллег не догадался использовав её коммерчески ...

В английском языке, как говорят остряки: "Пишется Манчестер, а читается Ливерпуль".

И на базовом этапе львиная доля внимания уделяется фонетике. Сначала звуковые упражнения, потом правила чтения, и потом скороговорки.

Далее мы приступаем к изучению грамматики. И примеры, во всех учебниках, как на подбор, - простые, даже примитивные.

Но почему бы не использовать тот капитал, который мы накопили выучив многие

сложнейшие скороговорки наизусть?

Ведь в них столько грамматических примеров. Примеров четких, ясных и многогранных!

Pre-Intermediate - Intermediate

Стивен Ликок. Моя финансовая карьера

Забавный рассказ о первом и последнем визите в банк. О всевозможных неурядицах и недопонимании.

Кэтрин Мэнсфилд. Чашка чая.

Кэтрин Мэнсфилд - одна из немногих писателей, принадлежащих к золотым перам английского языка, которая обожала русскую литературу. Всегда считавшая себя ученицей Антона Павловича Чехова она даже первого сына назвала Антон. Всемирную славу ей принесли короткие рассказы. "Чашка чая" - излюбленный (чемпион по адаптированию и сокращениям) рассказ авторов учебников английского языка во всём мире.

"Чашка чая" - относится к тому редчайшему жанру, где окончание намного более интригующе и захватывающе, чем начало.

О.Генри. Дары волхвов.

Любовь и бедность!

Как часто в мировой литературе трактовались эти две крайности нашего грешного мира. И как по-разному!

О.Генри связывает их многочисленными парадами метафор от плохого к мимолетной надежде, и от плохого к самому худшему, перемешивая возвышенное с ежедневной рутиной, и усиливает их многочисленными

эмоциональными конструкциями.

А введение в произведение библейских персонажей превращает данный рассказ - в рассказ проповедника.

Intermediate - Higher Intermediate

Марк Твен. Как я баллотировался в губернаторы.

Выборы. Борьба за власть.

Выборы. Право избирать и быть избранным.

Выборы. Плюрализм мнений. Многопартийность и чёрный пиар.

С 1863 года многое, очень многое изменилось в нашей грешной жизни; и многое, очень много занесено в список достижений цивилизации.

А в политических баталиях?! Изменилось ли что-нибудь в политике с тех пор, как Марк Твен сделал первую и, увы, последнюю попытку стать слугой народа?! Эта книга - настольная для всех тех, кто хочет овладеть языком черного пиара, чтобы на нем разговаривать с избирателями, и для всех тех, кому этот язык необходимо научиться понимать.

О.Генри. Маленькое пятнышко на добытых фруктах.

Любовь. Романтика. Самопожертвование.

Нелегальное казино. Полицейский налёт. Разорение. Крушение карьер. Исковерканные судьбы.

В этой книге есть все, чем знаменит талант О.Генри.

И парадоксальные определения, и метафоры, достойные пера Шеккспира, и мимолетная смена декораций.

А финал - неожиданность из неожиданностей.

Маленькое пятнышко на добытых фруктах относится к редкому жанру, где Логика низвергается сама собой в самом последнем предложении.

О.Генри. Погребок и роза.

Успех. Мегауспех в мегаполисе! Логика успеха.

Логика превращений из бедности в середнячка, из середнячка в баловня судьбы. Из баловня судьбы в познавшего богатство и славу. Логика лишений, лишений изнурительных и многоступенчатых, дабы реализовать мечту и стать звездой, кумиром для миллионов. И когда в лабиринтах логики перед выходом в свет, кажется, остаётся лишь последний шаг...

Погребок и роза -- относится к редкому жанру, где Логика изнурительных многоступенчатых лишений низвергается сама собой в самом последнем предложении.

Марк Твен. Как я редактировал сельскохозяйственную газету.

Успех.

Успех любой ценой.

Успех любыми средствами.

И совсем неважно, что потом хоть катастрофа за катастрофой!?

Как достичь псевдоуспеха, написано на языке гротеска и метафор. На языке, который стал вторым родным для любителей новаторства ради новаторства.

У которых на простую и во многом оправданную реакцию непонимания всегда найдутся в собственную защиту монологи, полные пафоса и надменности.

Higher-Intermediate - Аdvanced

Сонеты. Вильям Шекспир

Шекспир! Легче представить целую эпоху, чем одного человека. А сонеты - одна из вершин творчества. Из вершин многогранных и недосягаемых. О сонетах написаны книги, диссертации и даже энциклопедии. А что можно сделать в одной брошюре?!

Много! Очень много!

Методикой двойного чтения мы докажем, что Шекспира в оригинале можно читать и понимать, наслаждаясь каждым словом!!!

И пусть это станет всего лишь первым, но решительным шагом к изучению творений гения из гениев.

Моя прекрасная леди. Отрывки из фильма

Невозможно выучить английский язык, не зная как к нему относятся англичане.

Это самая добротная из всех 10 книг, представленных методикой двойного чтения, представляющая 5 отрывков. 5 мини-сюжетов, которые показывают путь бедной девушки от продажи цветов до триумфа на балу в посольстве.

Марк Твен. Одна из биографий в стиле фарс.

Американцы никогда не говорят о соотечественниках отрицательно.

Никогда не выносят сор из избы.

А если подданный Соединённых Штатов неправ?!

Мягко говоря, неправ?! Если он был осуждён на каторгу?!

Брошен в тюрьму?! Если он был приговорён к смерти?!

Тогда ...???

Даже тогда американцы говорят о соотечественниках исключительно по-доброму.

Эта книга, хоть и написана в середине позапрошлого века, - фундаментальная, чтобы воспринять один из важнейших языков современности - ВНУТРИАМЕРИКАНСКИЙ

Методика двойного чтения.

Память, память и ещё раз память!

Вот что определяет наш успех в изучении иностранного языка.

Удивлены? Огорчены? Или пока не знаете, соглашаться или подискутировать?!

Тогда проведём небольшой опрос!

Согласны ли Вы, что память на родном языке и на иностранном - две большие разницы!?

нет Да

Согласны ли Вы, что Английский в современном бешеном мире - не только первый язык международного общения, но и второй родной!? (Так что хочешь - не хочешь, а учить придётся).

нет Да

Согласны ли Вы, что память не шар из резины, который легко меняет объём от раздувания, а уникальный, индивидуальный продукт мозга, для увеличения которого необходимо затратить усилия, и немалые?!

нет Да

Согласны ли Вы, что в мегаполисах профессиональная память уникальна, уникальна настолько, что профессионализм забирает весь объём Её Величества Памяти, и на английский не остаётся ничего, или почти ничего.

Нет Да

Согласны ли Вы, что проблема памяти - проблема N 1 и, не решив её, язык не выучишь.

нет Да

Методика Двойного Чтения: текст даётся два раза. Сначала с детальным переводом, а второй раз с комментариями. Но чтобы воспользоваться преимуществами этой методики в

полном объёме, нужно вооружиться двумя фломастерами (лучше всего жёлтым и зелёным) и канцелярской скрепкой.

Читая рассказ с переводом, вы подчёркиваете незнакомые слова жёлтым. Прочитав, скрепляете первую часть, и прежде чем перейти к комментариям, читаете тот же самый текст во второй части. Выученные слова подчеркиваете зелёным, а желтым -2недоученные. Обычно отношение жёлтого к зелёному - 3 : 1.

Значит, эффективность Вашей памяти на иностранном языке - 25%.

Согласны ли Вы, что это и есть корень зла. Что это та проблема, не решив которую, язык не выучишь?!

Да Да

В студии "Звуковая Книга" готовятся к выпуску:

"Впервые на русском языке полное собрание рассказов Агаты Кристи "Мистер Паркер Пайн -- частный детектив" в переводе Дмитрия Протасова"
