Пояснительная записка
Данный УМК является первой попыткой подготовить комплекс для обучения
студентов неязыковых ВУЗов по Болонской системе обучения с применением современных
инновационных интерактивных методов.
Задачей УМК является развитие профессиональных знаний и умений будущего
специалиста, совершенствование иностранной речи студентов в различных сферах
коммуникации (разговорно-бытовой, общественно-политической, учебно-
профессиональной и социально-культурной).
Цель комплекса – дать студентам знания и умения по английскому языку,
необходимые для успешного выполнения профессиональных функций в сфере
менеджмента гостиничного дела, информации и рекламы в туристическом бизнесе,
организации и рекламы международных конференций, организации экскурсионных туров
на местном, региональном и международном уровнях, государственного регулирования
индустрии туризма.
Материалы для УМК подбирались в соответствии с принципами целесообразности,
актуальности, современности и интересности. Авторы рассчитывают на то, что изучение
этих материалов даст студентам возможность ознакомиться с состоянием данного бизнеса в
Кыргызстане и в некоторых других странах мира и повысить свой профессиональный
уровень.
Достижению этой цели будут способствовать и образцы реального делового
общения, иллюстрации, заимствованные из энциклопедических и рекламных
туристических изданий.
Каждый урок содержит лексико-грамматический, текстовые материалы, темы для
обсуждения, слайд-шоу с применением ТСО. Тексты уроков взяты из оригинальных
источников с учетом адаптации, и подобраны из аутентичных англоязычных современных
источников (печатных и электронных), в соответствии с дидактическим принципом «от
простого к сложному», и повторяемостью лексических элементов, терминологии и
грамматических явлений. Широкое применение материала не только расширяет кругозор,
но и имеет профессиональную ценность.
УМК рекомендуется для студентов II курса по специальности «Менеджмент и
туризм».
Естественно, первый УМК такого рода не лишено упущений, и авторы будут
признательны за любые замечания и дополнения.

Lesson 1
Theme: What a wonderful world
Presentation:
1. Pre – reading task
Students watch the pictures with the drawings. They should be very creative. P.10
2. Reading
Students read the newspaper article to themselves. Allow enough time for this.
They work alone to put the wonders in order of importance.
P. 10-11
Wonders of the modern world
by Ann Halliday
I DON'T believe that today's wonders are similar in kind to the wonders of the Ancient
World. They were all buildings and statues. In the last two centuries we have seen unprecedented
technical and scientific achievements. These are surely our modern wonders.
Here is my list.
1 Computers
They have already revolutionized the way we live and work. But it is early days for computers.
We don't know how much they are still changing the world. More computer wonders are yet to
come.
2 Space Travel
Only a few years before men were walking on the moon, reputable scientists declared that it was
impossible. But in 1969 Neil Armstrong stepped out of his space capsule and made his famous
statement: 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind'.
3 Medical Science
Surely nothing has done more for the comfort and happiness of mankind than the advance of
medical knowledge! How many millions of people have benefited from the humble aspirin? How
many lives has penicillin saved? Average life expectancy in Europe has risen dramatically over
the last hundred years, from about 50 years in 1906 to about 75 years today.
4 Holidays
Yes — holidays! In fact there have always been holidays — in ancient Rome there were more than
150 a year — but a holiday used to mean simply a day when you didn't work. Now holidaymakers
travel to all parts of the world. Perhaps you don't like so many tourists in your country, but you
must agree that a phenomenon which sees the population of Greece treble in summer, and which
8
sends office workers and shop assistants to Spain, Turkey, or the Caribbean is a wonder of the
world.
5 The Olympic Games
It is true that the Olympic Games are now commercialized and there is greed and drug abuse.
However, it is a competition in which every country in the world takes part. Every four years, for a
brief moment, we see these countries come together in peace and friendship. We feel hope again
for the future of mankind.
6 Agriculture
In 1724, Jonathan Swift wrote, 'Whoever makes two blades of grass or two ears of corn grow
where only one grew before serves mankind better than the whole race of politicians'. In Europe
our farmers have done this. In 1709, whole villages in France died of hunger. Now, in Europe we
can't eat all the food we produce. If only the politicians could find a way to share it with those
parts of the world where there is still famine.
7 We are still here
The last wonder of the modern world is simply that we are still here. We have bombs that could
destroy the world but we have not used them. This is surely the greatest wonder of all.
3. Comprehension check
Students discuss their answer in pairs.
4. Grammar
Students work in pairs to write in the correct. P. 11(language work)
1 Computers_________ already revolutionized the way we live and work.
2 We_________know how much they_________still changing the world.
3 Only a few years before men______________ walking on the moon, scientists said
that it was impossible.

The happiest person in Britain
The happiest person in Britain today is a professional married man between the ages of 35
and 54. He lives in the south of England but not in London. He owns a comfortable, detached
house and has two children.
What does he do?
He has a steady job in an office in London. After a hard day at work, he relaxes in front of the
television or watches a video. He doesn't go out every evening, but two evenings a week he meets
friends for a drink in the local pub. He owns a pet, usually a dog, and takes it for a walk every day
after work. He spends on average £120 per week.
Where does he go?
At the weekend, he regularly eats in restaurants, goes to see shows, and plays a sport (usually
golf). Most weekends he puts on a pair of old blue jeans, and potters in the garden. He usually
goes on holiday abroad more than once a year.
What does his wife do?
His wife is happy, too, but not quite as happy. She runs the home and has a job, but she doesn't
earn as much as her husband.
3. Grammar questions

a. His older sister also lives at home. Their house is near Kasertsart University, where he is
in the second year of an engineering course. Lessons start at 8 in the morning and go on
until 3 in the afternoon, Monday till Friday. When he graduates, he wants to be a civil
engineer.
b. My father is a lorry driver and my mother is a housewife. I'm the youngest of five
children. We live in a small block of flats with five other families in the old part of town.'
c. I usually have boiled rice for breakfast, then at lunch-time I have chicken with fried rice or
a bowl of noodles in the university canteen. In the evening I eat with my family. My
mother cooks. Her food's the best in the whole world!'
d. 'Shops like these are like community meeting places. We look after people's keys, pass on
messages, look after kids, we even cash cheques for those people who never have time to
go to the bank.'
e. It takes her about fifteen minutes to walk to school, but in summer she goes by bike. She's
in the second year of the Mariahilf secondary school. It has about 250 pupils, with eighteen
to twenty girls and boys in each class.
f. At the weekend he earns some extra money teaching computer studies at a private
computer school. He enjoys playing 'takraw', a Thai game played with a light ball made of
rattan, which you can hit with your foot, knee, elbow or heel, but not your hand. He loves
living in Bangkok, but he hates the traffic and traffic jams, which get worse every year.
g. 'I have about thirty lessons a week from Monday to Saturday, starting at 7.45 am and going
on until 4.30 or 5.00 pm, with Wednesday and Saturday afternoons free and a lunch-break
of two and a half hours every day. Schools here don't provide lunch so everyone goes
home. When I leave school, I want to work with children, maybe in a kindergarten.'
h. It sells all sorts of food and household goods from sandwiches to washing-up liquid, from
magazines to nails and screws. We offer a huge range of products. It's like three or four
shops rolled into one.'
i. The hours are terribly long. The shop opens at 6.00 am and closes at 10.00 pm, except on
Sunday when it's 8.30 am until 9.30 pm. Their whole lives are controlled by the shop.
'There are a lot of things we can't do anymore. We don't go to the movies, we don't go
camping at the weekend. But it's the long hours that make the money.

1. Listening (T.12.P.127, Students book Headway Intermediate)
Students listen to the tape and answer the questions
Tapescript 12 Roger the gardener
D'you know the best thing that ever happened to me? D'you know what it was? It was when I lost
my last job. Yes, really! I never liked it -hated it in fact - stuck in an office all day with computers
and a telephone. Now my hobby is my full-time job! I start work very early, er ... in summer I
usually leave home about 5.30 in the morning, but in winter not until about 8.00. I have a small
van, and I carry all my tools and equipment in that. It's autumn now so I'm tidying the gardens -
I'm picking up leaves and pulling up old summer flowers. Oh, and I'm planting bulbs as well. I'm
planting lots of daffodils and tulips. Every season is so different, and I love them all. I just love
working outside in the open air after all those years in a stuffy office. I never noticed the seasons
there! After work I always go home and relax in a hot bath. I have a flat in London but most of my
work is outside of London, in the suburbs. I'm not married but I live with my girlfriend, Fiona. I
usually cook our evening meal because she gets home from work after me. She's a graphic
designer and earns a lot of money, much more than me! She earns more but I think I enjoy my
work more.
At weekends we often drive into the country and go to antique shops and antique sales. I collect
old radios, you see. We don't have a television! Can you believe it? Everybody has one these days
but we don't! Yes, er ..., er ... I collect old radios and Fiona collects old cookery books. We take
our dog, we have a lovely dog, and we like taking her on long walks. I've just bought two 1930s
radios and I'm cleaning them and mending them. All my radios work, you know! I never play any
sports. Is this unusual?
I think there is only one problem with my job. It's seasonal, so I don't earn much in the autumn
and winter, so er ... I'm not earning much at the moment. I earn most money in spring and
summer. But it's OK, I earn enough, not enough to eat out often in expensive restaurants or go to
shows, but enough for my dog and my hobby. I'm a very happy man!
2. Writing
Students fill in the card with the information about John Smith and Roger Dramond.
Are they exactly the same age?
Do they look similar?
Do they have the same jobs?
Is Roger as happy as John?

―The happiest person in Kyrgyzstan‖
Ballerina Bubusara Beishenalieva (1923-1973) and historical collection of the cinema-
documentary heritage
Ballet is one of the world's great performing art traditions and the Russian and
Soviet contribution to the genre is globally acknowledged. One of the great
ballerinas of the mid-20th
century was the Kyrgyz Bubusara Beishenalieva (1926-
1973), who grew up in the amazing, truly revolutionary years of the 1920s and
1930s – a time of unprecedented social, economic and cultural growth and enthusiasm when
Soviet artists, writers, choreographers and dancers were a major influence in the contemporary art
world internationally.
Talented children from many parts of the world, including Bubusara Beishenalieva, were invited
to Russia to learn elements of the choreographic art in Leningrad, the ―cradle‖ of the Russian
classical ballet. Beishenalieva's debut was on the stage of the Bolshoy Theatre during a season of
Kyrgyz musical art in Moscow, when professional choreographers noticed the exceptional talent
of the young ballet dancer. After training she performing to great acclaim in the Soviet Union and
danced on the famous stages of the world. Her performance repertoire encompassed the great
female roles of the balletic art. Bubusara Beishenalieva was not only a great ballerina but she was
also recognized as a dramatic actress of genius.
In 1944 she was named a Prima Ballerina of the Kyrgyz Ballet and in 1958, by the Order of the
USSR Supreme Council Presidium, she was awarded the title of People‘s Actress of the USSR.
Beishenalieva participated actively in the social life of her country. She was People‘s Deputy to
the Supreme Council of the Kyrgyz Republic and was twice elected as People‘s Deputy from
Kyrgyzstan to the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union. She formed a ballet troupe of the Kyrgyz
Opera and Ballet Theatre, worked with young actors transferring to them her skills and knowledge
and was a Professor of the Kyrgyz National Ballet School. Among her students were famous stage
performers, some of whom still dance on the world's stages.

Lesson 3
Theme: Sister Wendy, TV star
Preparation
1. Pre-reading task
This task is to set the scene, and to try and create interest in the topic of the text by thinking
about the lives of nuns or other religious orders. Students‘ ideas on this may very well accord
their cultural background.
The following words are important to nuns
Sport – спорт
Solitude - уединение
Television – телевидение
Clothes – одежда
Hotels – отели, гостиницы
Singing – пение
Prayer – молящийся
Travel – путешествовать
Money – деньги
Food and drink – еда и напитки
Gardening – садоводство
Children – дети
Reading – чтение
2. Reading
Students read the text fairly quickly and at the same time discuss which of the things she
mentions are surprising for a nun‘s life. (Text on page 20, 21)
Sister Wendy, “I think God has been very good to me.'
TV Star!
Sister Wendy Beckett has been a nun for nearly 50 years, since she was 16. Most of the time she
lives in solitary confinement in a caravan in the grounds of a Carmelite monastery in Norfolk,
often not speaking to anyone for 22 hours a day. But every few months she leaves her caravan and
travels round Europe, staying in international hotels and eating in famous restaurants. Why is she
leading this double life? How does a nun who has devoted her life to solitude and prayer become a
visitor to the Ritz?
Sister Wendy has a remarkable other life. She writes and presents an arts programme for BBC
television called 'Sister Wendy's Grand Tour'. In it, she visits European art capitals and gives her
17
personal opinions on some of the world's most famous works of art. She begins each programme
with these words: 'For over 20 years I lived in solitude. Now I‘m seeing Europe for the first time.
I'm visiting the world's most famous art treasures.'
She speaks clearly and plainly, with none of the academic verbosity of art historians. TV viewers
love her common-sense wisdom, and are fascinated to watch a kind, elderly, bespectacled, nun
who is so obviously delighted by all she sees. They are infected by her enthusiasm. Sister Wendy
believes that although God wants her to have a life of prayer and solitary contemplation,
He has also given her a mission to explain art in a simple manner to ordinary people. She says:
―I think God has been very good to me. Really I am a disaster as a person. Solitude is right for me
because I'm not good at being with other people. But of course I enjoy going on tour. I have a
comfortable bed, a luxurious bath and good meals, but the joy is mild compared with the joy of
solitude and silent prayer. I always rush back to my caravan. People find this hard to understand. I
have never wanted anything else; I am a blissfully happy woman.'
Sister Wendy's love of God and art is matched only by her love of good food and wine. She takes
delight in poring over menus, choosing a good wine and wondering whether the steak is tender
enough for her to eat because she has no back teeth. However, she is not delighted by her
performance on television.
―I can't bear to watch myself on television. I feel that I look so silly — a ridiculous black-clothed
figure. Thank God we don't have a television at the monastery. I suppose I am famous in a way,
but as 95% of my time is spent alone in my caravan, it really doesn't affect me. I'm unimportant.'
Sister Wendy earned £1,200 for the first series. The success of this resulted in ah increase for the
second series. The money is being used to provide new shower rooms for the Carmelite
monastery.
3. Grammar
Students work in pairs or small groups forming questions mainly in the Present tenses.
(ex.1.p.21 students book Headway intermediate)
1 Complete the interview with Sister Wendy.
I (a) ____________________________________?
SW When I was sixteen. Goodness, that's nearly fifty years ago!
I (b) ____________________________________?
SW In Norfolk. In a Carmelite monastery. Well, not actually in the monastery but in the
grounds. I have a caravan.
I (c)_________________________________?
SW No, I don't. Just in Europe-that's far enough!
I (d)_________________________________?
18
SW I don't really know. I'm not sure why they're popular. I feel that I look so silly, but perhaps
people find it funny to watch a silly old nun!
I (e)_____________________________________?
SW Yes, I do. Of course I do. The tours are really interesting and everybody enjoys a life of
luxury now and then. I love good food and drink, but you know, I'm happiest on my own in
my caravan.
I (f) _____________________________________?
SW No, I don't! I look ridiculous. I never watch if I can help it!
I (g) _____________________________________?
SW I'm using it to help the monastery. Some new shower rooms are being built. That's good,
isn't it?
4. Vocabulary work
Use these pictures to help the students to think of sports and leisure activities. (P.22)
5. Listening
Listen to three people talking about their favorite sport or leisure activity and make notes
under the following headings. (t.15.p.128 Students book Headway intermediate)
Tapescript 15
1 Suzanne
I love many sports, but best of all - skiing. I first skied when I was six years old, and lived in
Canada, and then for many years, in fact decades, I wasn't able to ski again because I was living in
hot places. But since I've been living in England, I've resumed skiing and it's even better than it
was. For me now the place to ski is the Alps, and particularly France. I live in England and the
winters are gloomy, and there's not much sun, so one of the wonderful things about skiing for me,
is the light and the brilliant sunshine that you find high, high up in the mountains. A lot of other
people like it, too, and it can be rather crowded, especially around the lifts because you now have
mechanical lifts that take you zooming up, flying up the mountains like a god, whereas in Canada
I had to walk up if I wanted to ski down.
The equipment you need ... skis, and boots, and poles. Many people own their own equipment but
I hire mine in the resort. I do have my own clothes though, and clothes are very important because
skiing is quite a fashion-conscious sport. Also, it's necessary to have clothes that will protect you
because the weather can be very severe. You need a ski-suit, a hat, goggles to protect your eyes,
socks, mittens, and a rucksack is useful to carry around your bits and pieces. Now at this point,
1 have to confess that I am not the world's greatest skier. I would say I am a respectable skier, I'm
a safe skier, but that doesn't stop you having a wonderful time. Also, there is the social life that is
19
such an important part of skiing. You can eat and drink as much as you want because you know
you're burning it all off. And then at the end of the day there's the evening, food and wine with
friends and everybody talking about their excitements during the day. I love it!
2 Dorothy
I'm an elderly lady of eighty-three and I've always been interested in keep-fit, yoga and anything
to keep myself mobile, and er ... two years ago, I joined a little club run by the Salvation Army,
where about eighteen of us meet together and we go through all our movements with music - it's
very enjoyable. Needless to say, I am the eldest one there, but I'm able to do most of the exercises,
when I feel OK. When I've got a bad bout of sciatica, I've got to ease up a bit.
How often? I go once a week on a Thursday for ..., oh we exercise for about three quarters of an
hour, and then we end up with having a nice lunch, which is always very good, and that is at the
Salvation Army Hall in Branksome. Who with? Lots of my friends; I have made friends since
joining because I was a complete stranger when I went there but now there's a lot of people I can
call my friends. And for this keep-fit we just wear a leotard with a nice bright yellow top and feel
very smart. And across the top it says, 'Branksome is fighting fit'. And am I good at it? Well - /
think I am ... and the instructress tells me, or tells the others rather, that I am an example to the rest
of them.
3 I = Interviewer M = Martin
I So Martin, what sports do you play?
M I play football, volleyball, tennis, and table tennis but volleyball is my favourite game as it's a
team game and you can play it with your friends, and enjoy it as a team.
I Is it quite a fast game as well?
M Yeah. It is a fast game and that's another reason why I enjoy it.
I How exciting ...
M Yes.
I Where do you play, then?
M I play at local sports centres more during the winter and sort of play in tournaments around
England. I also, in the summer, play beach volleyball.
I Is beach volleyball different from the volleyball you play in the centres?
M Yes, it's a very different game. Instead of six players on a team, it's only two players.
I You mentioned you played in tournaments - now do you do quite well in the tournaments?
M Yes, I've played for South West England and we've got through to the semi-finals of different
England tournaments, and for Wessex, my other volleyball team, we've actually won a few
tournaments. So yes, I have done quite well.
I Oh well done! What sort of equipment do you need?
20
M Well, first of all you need the ball and the net, and obviously the court ... but you may also need
knee pads and your volleyball kit.
I OK ... knee pads because you fall on your knees a lot?
M Yes ... 'cos you ... when diving and things like that ...
I Diving?
M Diving ... yeah.
I It sounds like swimming. That means jumping to catch the ball?
M Yeah, jumping to get a ball up in the air.
I Yes, all right. So how often do you play volleyball then Martin?
M Well during the season, which is about September to June, I play twice a week. One of those is
training, and one of those is a match. And during the summer I play beach volleyball, but that's
only once a week.
Which sport or activity are they talking about?
How often do they do it?
Where do they do it?
What equipment do they need?
6. Writing
The task is to create interesting in the writing activity to follow via some personalization about

Students begin some detailed study of the text ―My aunt Emily‖ on page 23
My aunt Emily
Of all my relatives, I like my Aunt Emily the best. She's my mother's youngest sister. She has
never married, and she lives alone in a small village near Bath. She's in her late fifties, but she's
still quite young in spirit. She has a fair complexion, thick brown hair which she wears in a bun,
and dark brown eyes. She has a kind face, and when you meet her, the first thing you notice is her
lovely, warm smile. Her face is a little wrinkled now, but I think she is still rather attractive. She is
the sort of person you can always go to if you have a problem.
She likes reading and gardening, and she goes for long walks over the hills with her dog, Buster.
She's a very active person. Either she's making something, or mending something, or doing
something to help others. She does the shopping for some of the old people in the village. She's
extremely generous, but not very tolerant with people who don't agree with her. I hope that I am as
happy and contented as she is when I'm her age.

THE HOLIDAY WASN’T (P 33)
Just after Christmas two years ago, Jack and Liza decided to go away for New Year. They
didn't want to stay in a hotel with crowds of people and they were delighted when they saw
an advertisement in the Sunday Times for a holiday flat in a village near Oxford.
It was no ordinary flat. It was on the top floor of an old Tudor mansion. They booked it and
on New Year's Eve they set off in the car. It was raining and freezing cold. They were happy
and excited.
They had been driving for three hours when they saw the house in the distance. It looked
magnificent with tall chimneys and a long, wide drive. They drove up to the huge front door,
went up the steps, and knocked. Nothing happened. They knocked again. The door opened
and a small, wild-looking, old lady stood there.
Listen to Jack and Liza talking about what happened next and complete this part of the story.

When they got outside again the rain had turned to snow. They ran to the car,
laughing. They felt that they had been released from a prison and now they wanted to be
with lots of people. They drove to the next village and as midnight was striking, they found a
hotel with a room for the night. 'Happy New Year!' cried Jack, as he kissed the surprised
receptionist on both cheeks. 'You have no idea how beautiful your hotel is!'

A World Guide to Good Manners
How not to behave badly abroad
By Norman Ramshaw
Travelling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village,
but how well do we know and understand each other? Here is a simple test.
Imagine you have arranged a meeting at four o'clock. What time should you expect your
foreign business colleagues to arrive? If they're German, they'll be bang on time. If they're
American, they'll probably be 15 minutes early. If they're British, they'll be 15 minutes late, and
you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.
When the European Community began to increase in size, several guidebooks appeared
36
giving advice on international etiquette. At first many people thought this was a joke, especially
the British, who seemed to assume that the widespread го understanding of their language meant
a corresponding understanding of English customs. Very soon they had to change their ideas, as
they realized that they had a lot to learn about how to behave with their foreign business friends.
For example:
• The British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during
the meal; the Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time to relax and get to know
one another, and they rarely drink at lunchtime.
• The Germans like to talk business before dinner; the French like to eat first and talk
afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.
• Taking off your jacket and rolling up your sleeves is a sign of getting down to work in Britain
and Holland, but in Germany people regard it as taking it easy.
• American executives sometimes signal their feelings of ease and importance in their offices by
putting their feet on the desk whilst on the telephone. In Japan, people would be shocked.
Showing the soles of your feet is the height of bad manners. It is a social insult only exceeded by
blowing your nose in public.
The Japanese have perhaps the strictest rules of social and so business behavior. Seniority
is very important, and a younger man should never be sent to complete a business deal with
an older Japanese man. The Japanese business card almost needs a rulebook of its own. You
must exchange business cards immediately on meeting because it is essential to establish
everyone's status and position.
When it is handed to a person in a superior position, it must be given and received with
both hands, and you must take time to read it carefully, and not just put it in your pocket! Also
the bow is a very important part of greeting someone. You should not expect the Japanese to
shake hands. Bowing the head is a mark of respect and the first bow of the day should be lower
than when you meet thereafter.
The Americans sometimes find it difficult to accept the more formal Japanese manners.
They prefer to be casual and more informal, as illustrated by the universal 'Have a nice day!'
American waiters have a one-word imperative 'Enjoy!' The British, of course, are cool and
reserved. The great topic of conversation between strangers in Britain is the weather—
unemotional and impersonal. In America, the main topic between strangers is the search to find a
geographical link. 'Oh, really? You live in Ohio? I had an uncle who once worked there.'
'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.'
Here are some final tips for travelers. ,
37
• In France you shouldn't sit down in a cafe until you've shaken hands with everyone you know.
• In Afghanistan you should spend at least five minutes saying hello.
• In Pakistan you mustn't wink. It is offensive.
• In the Middle East you must never use the left hand for greeting, eating, drinking, or smoking.
Also, you should take care not to admire anything in your hosts' home. They will feel that they
have to give it to you.
• In Russia you must match your hosts drink for drink or they will think you are unfriendly.
• In Thailand you should clasp your hands together and lower your head and your eyes when you
greet someone.
• In America you should eat your hamburger with both hands and as quickly as possible. You
shouldn't try to have a conversation until it is eaten.
4 Read the article again and answer the questions. Discuss the questions in pairs. (p.40 SB)
5 a. What are the rules of about greeting people in your country?
When do you shake hands?
When do you kiss?
What about when you say goodbye?
b. Think of two examples of good manners, bad manners.
6 Listening and speaking
a. Do you like to be a guest?
b. How do you entertain your guests?
c. Now let‘s listen to the tape and take notes under the following headings: the kind of
invitation, formal or informal.
d. What similarities and differences are there? Compare information. T. 29
1 Sumie
In my country, Japan, usually we invite guests home at the weekend, in the early evening, about
seven o'clock. Before they come, we must tidy the front garden and clean the entrance
hall. Then we must spray it all with water to show that we welcome guests with cleanliness. The
guests usually bring presents and when they give you the present they say, 'I'm sorry this is such
a small present', but in fact they have chosen the present very carefully. When the meal is ready
the hostess says, 'We have nothing special for you today but you are welcome to come this way'
You can see that in Japan you should try to be modest and you should not show off too much. If
you don't understand our culture you will think this is very strange.
When we have foreign guests we try to serve traditional Japanese meals like sushi, tempura, or
38
sukiyaki but when we have Japanese guests, we serve all kinds of food such as spaghetti, Chinese
food, or steaks. When guests leave, the host and hostess see them out of the house and wait until
their car turns the corner of the street; they wait until they can't see them any more.

I come from Spain. At home what we love most is going out to eat in bars and restaurants. There
is a big choice and we can go from one bar to another trying different things and having a few
drinks, usually wine or beer. But sometimes we also like to invite people to our home.
I usually invite my friends for an informal meal. I cook Spanish omelette, which is made with
potatoes, onions and eggs, fried in olive oil. Then we have things like cheese, ham -Spanish ham
is very different from English ham, and if you buy the best one, called Jabugo, is something
delicious, worth trying. And then things like olives, anchovies, mussels. We drink wine or beer.
Some people may bring a bottle of wine or something for pudding. We usually meet late in the
evening, about eight thirty or nine. Of course we dress casually; we just want to be relaxed and
comfortable, and talk and laugh together.

I'm from the United States. Sometimes when our family gets together with other families, we
have what's called a 'pot luck supper', which can take place in the evening or even at lunchtime.
This is an informal occasion held perhaps in someone's garden, so people dress casually but
nicely. Invitations can be written or made by phone, and each person is asked to bring a dish of
food. They're given a choice of starter, main course, salad or vegetable, or dessert. The hostess
knows how many of each kind of dish she needs but not exactly what the guests will bring. This
is why it's called 'pot luck', as it's a lovely surprise, holding a dinner party and not knowing what
you're going to feed your guests. As the guests arrive, they put their dish, or pot as it used to be
called, on the table and the meal is served buffet-style, and drinks are provided, although some
guests might bring a bottle of wine as a present.
I really enjoy this kind of entertaining; it's a fun, relaxed way of getting together with friends.

Lesson 11
Theme: Future forms
1. Test your grammar
Read and listen to the joke. Underline the verb forms that refer to the future. What is the
difference between them?
A Penguin Joke!
One day a man and his wife were walking down the street when they came across a penguin.
'Oh!' exclaimed the man. 'What a surprise! What shall we do with it?'
'I know,' said his wife. 'We'll ask a policeman.'
So they found a policeman and explained what had happened.
'Mmm,' said the policeman, 'I think the best thing is to take it to the zoo.'
'What a good idea!' said the woman. 'We'll go there straight away.'
The next morning the policeman was walking down the same street when he saw the couple
again with the penguin. ‗I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo,' the policeman said.
'Well, we did,' said the man. 'We took it to the zoo and we all had a really good time. So this
afternoon we're taking it to the cinema, and this evening we're going to have a meal in a fish
46
restaurant.'

4. UNIT 5 Going to (I am going to do)

- A: Have you made the coffee yet?
- B: No, but I'm just going to make it. (just = just at this moment)
For the difference between will and going to see Unit 8.
b) We prefer to use the present continuous (I am doing) when we say what someone has
arranged to do - for example, arranged to meet someone, arranged to travel somewhere.
Going to is also possible:
- What time are you meeting Ann? (or 'are you going to meet')
- I'm travelling to Scotland on Monday, (or 'I'm going to travel')
c) We use was/were going to to say what someone intended to do in the past (but didn't do):

- A: Did Tom do the examination?
B: No, he was going to do it but in the end he changed his mind.

4. Ann is driving. There is very little petrol left in the tank. The nearest petrol station is a long
way away, (run out of petrol) ...............................................................................................
UNIT 8 Will or going to?
a) Talking about future actions
We use both will and going to to talk about our future actions but there is a clear difference. Study
this example situation:
Helen's
Helen:
Father:
bicycle has a flat tyre. She tells her father.
My bicycle has a flat tyre.
Can you repair it for me?
Okay, but I can't do it now.
I'll repair tomorrow.
will: We use will when we decide
to do something at
the time of speaking. The
speaker has not decided
before. Before Helen told
her father, he didn't know about
the flat tyre.
Later, Helen's mother speaks to her husband. going to: We use going to
when we have already
decided to do something.
Helen's father had already
decided to repair the
bicycle before his wife .
spoke to him.
Mother:
Father:
Can you repair Helen's bicycle?
It has a flat tyre.
Yes, I know. She told me.
I'm going to repair it tomorrow.
Here is another example:
- Tom is cooking when he suddenly finds that there isn't any salt:
- Tom: Ann, we haven't got any salt.
53
- Ann: Oh, haven't we? I'll get some from the shop then, (she derides at the time of speaking)
Before going out, Ann talker to Jim:
Ann: I'm going to get some salt from the shop. (she has already decided)
Can I get you anything, Jim?
b) Saying what will happen (predicting future happenings)
We use both will and going to to say what we think will happen in the future:
- Do you think Tom will get the job?
- Oh dear, it's already 4 o'clock. We're going to be late.
We use going to (not will) when there is something in the present situation that shows what will
happen in the future (especially the near future). The speakers feel sure about what will happen
because of the situation now (see also Unit 5d):
- Look at those black clouds. It's going to rain, (the clouds are there now)
-I feel terrible. I think I'm going to be sick. (I feel terrible now)
Do not use will in situations like these.
Otherwise, it is safer to use will (see also Unit 7).
- Ann will probably arrive at about 8 o'clock.
- I think Tom will like the present you bought for him.

6. Grammar questions
I'm going to buy some (sugar).
I'll buy a loaf.
- Why does John use different future forms? What's the difference between will and going to to
express a future intention?
- We don't usually say going to go or going to come. Find the examples in the dialogue where
these forms are avoided.
7. Dialogues

8. Listening
T.34 Listen to the conversations. Say what's going to happen.
56
1. Present Continuous
UNIT 1 Present continuous (I am doing)
a) Study this example situation:
We use the present continuous when we talk about something which is happening at the time of
speaking:
- Please don't make so much noise. I'm studying. (not 'I study')
- 'Where is Margaret?' 'She's having a bath.' (not 'she has')
- Let's go out now. It isn't raining any more.
- (at a party) Hello, Ann. Are you enjoying the party? (not 'do you enjoy')
b) We also use the present continuous when we talk about something which is happening around,
the time of speaking, but not necessarily exactly at the time of speaking. Study this example
situation:
-Tom and Ann are talking and drinking in a cafe. Tom says: 'I'm reading an interesting book at
the moment. I'll lend it to you when I've finished it.'
Tom is not reading the book at the time of speaking. He means that he has begun the book and
hasn't finished it yet. He is in the middle of reading it. Here are some more examples:
- Silvia is learning English at the moment, (not 'learns')
- Have you heard about Tom? He is building his own house, (not 'builds') But perhaps Silvia and
Tom are not doing these things exactly at the time of speaking.
c) We often use the present continuous when we talk about a period around the present. For
example: today, this season etc.:
- 'You're working hard today.' 'Yes, I have a lot to do.'
-Tom isn't playing football this season. He wants to concentrate on his studies.
d) We use the present continuous when we talk about changing situations:
- The population of the world is rising very fast, (not 'rises') -Is your English getting better? (not
'does ... get')
57

4. Grammar questions
- What tense are the verbs in a, d and e?
- Which refer to the present? Which refer to the future?
- Why are these sentences with will, not going to?
I'll check.
I'll phone back then.
5. LANGUAGE REVIEW
Future forms
will
1 Will expresses an intention or decision made at the moment of speaking.
I'll give you my phone number. Ring me tonight.
I'll check her diary for you.
I'll phone back later.
Many languages express this idea with a present tense, but *I give, *I check and *I phone are
wrong.
2 The most common use of will is to refer to the future. It expresses a future fact or prediction.
Tomorrow will be warm and sunny.
What time will she be back?
I'm sure you'll pass your exam.
going to
1 Going to expresses an intention or decision thought about before the moment of speaking. It
expresses a plan.
We're going to have a holiday in Sicily this summer. My daughter's going to study modern
languages at Bristol University.
2 We use going to when we can see evidence now that something is certain to happen.
60
Look at those clouds. It's going to rain.
Present Continuous
The Present Continuous can be used to express a future arrangement between people. It is
common with verbs such as go, come, see, visit, meet, have (a party), leave.
Pat and Peter are coming for a meal tonight. We're having salmon for supper.
Sometimes there is little or no difference between a future intention (going to) and a future
arrangement (Present Continuous).
We're going to see a play tonight. We're seeing a play tonight.
6. Nina Kendle works in the fashion business.
Look at her diary for today. Imagine it is 9.30 in the morning.
- Where is she now?
- What's she doing?
- What are her plans for the rest of the day?

Lesson 12
1. A weather forecast
1 Look at the map of the British Isles. Draw a line between the Bristol Channel and The Wash.
T.36a Listen to the description of the main geographical features of the British Isles.
- What can we find to the north of the line?
- What can we find to the south of the line?
-Match the numbers on the map to these places:
62
The topics of the geography of Britain and a weather forecast might not seem very interesting but
students often want to learn about the country behind the language. Many learners know of
London only, and nothing of other towns or locations.
It is not just the English who like to talk about the weather! The weather is something that affects
us all. Allow enough time for this activity. The listening tasks are quite dense.
63
NB Britain, or Great Britain, consists of England, "" Scotland and Wales. The British Isles
consists of Great Britain and Ireland. The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland
and Northern Ireland. (The other part of Ireland is called the Republic of Ireland, or Eire.)
T.36a Students look at the map of the British Isles. Encourage comments and questions.
Ask students just to tell you the main areas of the British Isles so they can practice the
pronunciation -the South West, the South East, etc. You could ask students questions such as
Where's Birmingham? to get the answer Birmingham's in the Midlands. If you have a good class,
you could teach geographical terms such as Dublin is on the east coast of Ireland; Swansea is on
the south coast of Wales.
Ask students to draw a line between the Bristol Channel and The Wash. This line marks a major
division in the geography of Britain, as the speaker on the tape explains.
Listen to the tape. Students answer the three questions. We suggest you play only the first half of
the tape, stopping at...growing crops and cereals.
Answers
- To the north we can find higher lands and mountains, more rain, and sheep and cows.
PROBLEM
There is a lot of vocabulary on the tape that students might not know. They will no doubt be able
to answer the three questions adequately, so you can decide if you want to explore the unknown
words or not. You could pre-teach items such as climate, agriculture, hill, backbone, crops,
cereal, coastline, wild ponies, heavily populated, wheat, valley, mining, moor, mist. Or, you could
play the tape again with students reading the tapescript, stopping at these words and
checking/teaching them.
To the south we can find low lands and hills, more sun, arable farms growing crops and cereal.
1 the Welsh Mountains
2 the Pennines
3 the Scottish Highlands
2. T.36b Listen to the second part and take notes about the following areas and places.
The South West
The Midlands
The North East
The South East
The North West
Scotland
64
East Anglia
Wales
Ireland
3. Read the Tapescript on page 131. Check any new words.
Answers
• The South West has beautiful countryside and coastline. Dartmoor is very beautiful, it has wild
ponies.
• The South East is gentle, there is fruit-growing, it is where a lot of people live.
• East Anglia is flat, and has big fields of wheat and potatoes.
• The Midlands used to have a lot of heavy industry.
• Wales has mountains in the north and valleys in the south.
• In the North West there is the Lake District and the towns of Liverpool and Manchester.
• In the North East there used to be a lot of ship building and mining.
• Scotland has lochs, moors, mountains and not many people.
• Ireland is famous for its rain, grass, romance and mists.

for the British Isles. Mark on the map
what the weather will be like tomorrow. Use the symbols in Exercise 4. Write the temperature
next to the symbol.
Tapescript 37
65
The Weather Forecast
And now here's the weather forecast for the next twenty-four hours. I'll divide the country into
four, starting with the North West and the North East of England. Well, there'll be some early
morning mists, and after that it'll be mainly dry and sunny, but quite chilly, with temperatures
around six or seven. It should stay dry all day, but there'll be quite a wind, so wrap up warm.
And now the South West and Wales. You can expect some rain in the morning and afternoon.
There might be some storms, as well, with thunder and lightning. There'll be quite strong winds,
and the temperature will be lower than yesterday, around three or four degrees. I don't think you'll
see much of the sun. Cloudy all day, I'm afraid.
The South East, the Midlands, and East Anglia will see the best of today's weather. It'll be warmer
than yesterday, no winds, and sunshine nearly all day, with temperatures around ten or eleven, so
quite warm for the time of year.
In Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, there'll be heavy rain and maybe some snow during
the afternoon, and on the hills temperatures will drop to below freezing, minus four or five, and on
the highest spots minus ten. Over much of Scotland it will be cloudy, and windy, too, as the cold
front moves in over the Atlantic. Northern Ireland can expect the same, but the rain will end
before dark. But again, very cold, with temperatures not going above freezing. And that's all from
me.
7 Work in pairs. Write a weather forecast for where you are. Read it to the rest of the class.
8 Discuss the following questions.
- Do you get many foreign tourists in your country? What do they come to see? What do they
come to do? What are the most popular towns for them to visit? What are the most popular places?
Which countries do the tourists come from?
9. Look at the pictures on page 51 SB. Which do you recognize? Where can you find them?
10. Class survey
Stand up and ask three students the following questions.
What sort of holidays do you like?
Relaxing in the sun?
A holiday abroad at home?
A holiday like a Schumachers‘?
66
Sightseeing?
An activity holiday?
Compare answers with the rest of the class.

Grammar
Like versus as
1. When like is used as a preposition, it is always followed by a noun. It means similar to/the
same as/for example.
I look like my mother.
They have so many animals. Their house is like a zoo.
'What star sign are you?' 'I'm Gemini, like you.'
'You're stupid.' 'Why do you say things like that?'
Their children are loud and bossy. I don't like kids like that.
2. As can also be used as a preposition followed by a noun. It expresses the job, function or use of
a person or a thing.
I worked as a waitress over the holidays.
We use our garage as a storage place.
She went to a party dressed as a nun.
3. When as is used as a conjunction, it is followed by a subject and a verb.

6. Using a dictionary
Look at the extracts from the Oxford Wordpower Dictionary. They show you which verb patterns
are possible. Some of the verb patterns in the sentences are right, and some are wrong. Tick (V)
those that are right, and correct the wrong ones.
like1 /laik/ verb [T] 1 to find sb/sth pleasant; to be fond of sb/sth: He's nice. I like him a lot. о Do
you like their new flat? о I like my coffee with milk, о I like playing tennis, о She didn't like it when
I shouted at her. *- The opposite is dislike. When like means 'have the habit of...' or 'think it's a
good thing to...', it is followed by the infinitive: I like to get up early so that I can go for a run
before breakfast. Look at likes and dislikes. 2 to want: Do what you like. I don't care. *• Would
like is a more polite way to say 'want': Would you like to come to lunch on Sunday? о I would like
some more cake, please, о I'd like to speak to the manager. Would like is always followed by the
infinitive, never by the -ing form. 3 (in negative sentences) to be unwilling to do sth: / didn't like to

agree that we should travel by train? о I'm afraid I don't agree, «r Look at disagree. 2 [I] agree
(to sth) to say yes to sth: I asked if I could go home early and she agreed, о Andrew has agreed
to lend me his car for the weekend. m- Look at refuse. 3 [I,T] agree (to do sth); agree (on sth)
to make an arrangement or agreement with sb: They agreed to meet again the following day. о
Can we agree on a price? о We agreed a price of £500.4 [I] agree with sth to think that sth is
right: I don't agree with experiments on animals. 5 [I] to be the same as sth: The two accounts of
the accident do not agree.

France Turkey Italy England
India Spain Mexico
Switzerland America Greece
What do you think influences a country‘s food? What influences the food in your country?
2) Read these quotations about English food.
Do all the people have the some opinion about English food?
It take some skill to spoil a breakfast- even the English can‘t do it!‘
J.K. Galbraith, economist
‗On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners.‘
George Mikes, writer and humorist
‗If the English can survive their food, they can survive anything!‘
George Mikes, write and humorist
‘Even today, well-brought up English girls are taught to boil all vegetables for at least a month
and a half, just in case one of the dinner guests comes without his teeth!‘
Calvin Trillin, American writer
‘English cooking? You just put things into boiling water and then take them
out again after a long while!‘
An anonymous French chef
Reading
Reading the text quickly.
Match a paragraph 1-5 with a summary below.
- Historical and climatic influence on British cooking
- There‘s everything except an English restaurant.
- The legacy of World War II
- Where there is hope for the future
- The British love affair with international cooking
91
In search of good English food
1. How come it is so difficult to find English food in England? In Greece you eat Greek food,
in France French food, in Italy Italian food, but in England, in any High Street in the land, it
is easier to find Indian and Chinese restaurants than English ones, in London you can eat
Thai, Portuguese, Turkish, Lebanese, Japanese, Russian, Polish, Swiss, Swedish, Spanish,
and Italian-but where are the English restaurants?
2. It is not only in restaurants that foreign dishes are replacing traditional British food. In every
supermarket, sales of pasta, pizza and poppadoms are booming. Why has this happened?
What is wrong with the cooks of Britain that they prefer cooking pasta to potatoes? Why do
the British choose to eat lasagne instead of shepherd‘s pie? Why do they now like cooking
in wine and olive oil? But perhaps it is a good thing. After all, this is the end of the 20th
century and we can get ingredients from all over the world in just a few hours. Anyway,
wasn‘t English food always disgusting and tasteless? Wasn‘t it always boiled to death and
swimming in fat? The answer to these questions is a resounding ―NO‖, but to understand
this, we have to go back to before World War II.
92
3. The British have in fact always imported food from abroad. From the time of the
Roman invasion foreign trade was a major influence on British cooking. English kitchens,
like the English language, absorbed ingredients from all over the world –chickens, rabbits,
apples, and tea. All of these and more were successfully incorporated into British dishes.
Another important influence on British cooking was of course the weather. The good old
British rain gives us rich soil and green grass, and means that we are able to produce some
of the finest varieties of meat, fruit and vegetables, which don‘t need fancy sauces or
complicated recipes to disguise their taste.
4. However, World War II changed everything. Wartime women had to forget 600 years
of British cooking, learn to do without foreign imports, and ration their use of home-
grown food. The Ministry of Food published cheap, boring recipes.
The joke of the war was a dish called Woolton Pie (named after the Minister for food! ).
This consisted of a mixture of boiled vegetables covered in white sauce with mashed
potato on the top. Britain never manager to recover from the wartime attitude to food. We
were left with a loss of confidence in our cooking skills and after years of Ministry recipes
we began to believe that British food was boring, and we searched the world for
sophisticated, new dishes which give hope of a better future. The British people became
tourists at their own dining tables and in the restaurants of their land! This is a tragedy!
Surely food is as much a part of our literature. Nowadays, cooking British food is like
speaking a dead language. It is almost as bizarre as having a conversation in Anglo-Saxon
English!
93
5.However, there is still one small ray of hope. British pubs are often the best places to eat
well and cheaply in Britain food. Can we recommend to you our two favorite places to eat
in Britain? The Shepherd‘s Inn in Melmerby, Cumbria, and the Dolphin Inn in Kingston,
Devon. Their steak and mushroom pie, Lancashire hotpot, and bread and butter pudding are
three of the gastronomic wonders of the world!

Discussion
1) Do you agree that food is as much a part of a country's culture as its landscape, language,
and literature.
2) which are your favorite places to eat in your country? Why?
Kyrgyz national food
Kyrgyz cuisine, originating in Kyrgyzstan, is similar in many respects to that of its
neighbors, particularly the Kazakh cuisine.
Traditional Kyrgyz food revolves around mutton and horse meat, as well as various milk
products. The cooking techniques and major ingredients has been strongly influenced by the
nation's nomadic way of life. For example, most cooking techniques are mostly aimed at long-
term preservation of food. Mutton is the favorite meat, although it is not always affordable.
95
Besh barmak
Besh barmak is the Kyrgyz national dish, although it is also common in Kazakhstan and in
Xinjiang (where it is called narin). It consists of horse meat (sometimes mutton or beef) boiled
in its own broth for several hours and served over homemade noodles sprinkled with parsley
and coriander. Besh barmak translates as "Five Fingers", because the dish is typically eaten
with the hands. Besh barmak is most often made during a feast to celebrate a birth or an
important birthday, or to mourn a death, either at a funeral or on an anniversary. If mutton is
used instead of horsemeat, a boiled sheep's head is placed on the table in front of the most
honored guest, who cuts bits and parts from the head and offers them around to the other
guests at the table.
Cooking paloo
Paloo (Kyrgyz: палоо) is the Kyrgyz version of the generic plov of Central Asian cuisine. It
consists of pieces of meat (generally mutton or beef, sometimes chicken) fried in a large qazan
(a cast-iron cauldron) and mixed with fried shredded carrots and cooked rice. The dish is
garnished with whole fried garlic cloves and hot red peppers. Uzgen paloo is made with
locally grown rice from the southern Uzgen District of Kyrgyzstan. Shirin paloo, a close
relative of shirin plov in Azerbaijani cuisine, is a vegetarian dish in which meat is replaced
with dried fruits, such as prunes, apricots, and raisins.
96
Bread usually served is nan, traditional Central Asian flat bread, and thick, sturdy Russian
breads are also popular. Bread and tea (nan y chai) are considered almost sacred in Kyrgyz
culture. A good host always offers their guests bread and tea, even if the guests are only
staying for a few moments. Kyrgyz bread is cooked over coals in tandoori-like ovens. It is
round and relatively flat. The local people love to dip it in their homemade jams or ayran,
soured milk.
A popular Kyrgyz beverage is kymyz (Kyrgyz: кымыз [qɯmɯs]), a slightly alcoholic drink
made by fermenting mare's milk. This drink is considered to be a signature drink of Euroasian
nomadic culture, as it is also consumed in Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Fresh kymyz is only
available in the summer, from about May until August, when it can be purchased on the
roadside in the mountains. However, you kymyz has been bottled for several years in
Kyrgyzstan and can be purchased in shops and markets around the country.
There are a lot of beverages which could be described as traditional Kyrgyz drinks. One such
non-alcoholic beverage which is very popular in Kyrgyzstan, especially in the summer, is
maksym, a slightly fizzy drink made by fermenting grains. Maksym was traditionally made in
small quantities by women for family consumption; however, this drink was introduced as a
commercial product in Bishkek by the company 'Shoro', after which it became widely
available all over Kyrgyzstan. Maksym is usually made from malt but other types of grains
may be used in its preparation. Another drink which is made from grounded cereals called
97
jarma. It is made in almost the same way as maksym, except that it isn't fermented, instead it is
mixed with ayran to make it slightly fizzy.
Discussion
1) What is your favorite food?
2) What is your favorite drink?
