WE LEARN FOREIGN LANGUAGES
(Units 1-2)
I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC
Task 1. Make a list of all the foreign languages you know.
Task 2. Read the text “We Learn Foreign Languages”.
Let me introduce myself. My name is … . I am a second-year student of
Samara State University. I am a student of the German Department. They say
that a man is so many times a man how many languages he knows and I fully
agree with this statement. We study German and we also study English. I study
in Group … .
You know, English is widely spread. It is really an international language.
It is spoken in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in the
United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and in the
South of Africa.
So why do I want to learn English? First, knowledge of English is useful
when you are in a foreign country, especially in an English-speaking country.
Second, it is the language of business, technology, sport, diplomacy, science and
culture.
We have English classes two times a week and I am doing well. When the
teacher comes into the classroom we stand up and say “Good-morning” or “How
do you do” and the lesson begins. At the lesson we learn to speak, to understand,
to read and to write English. Our English lesson usually starts with phonetic
drills. We practise reading rhymes, proverbs and tongue-twisters. Sometimes we
switch on the cassette-recorder and repeat sounds, words and sentences after the
speaker in chorus. It helps us to improve our pronunciation.
We learn new grammar rules, revise the old ones and do a lot of exercises,
orally and in writing. We learn new vocabulary, make and memorize dialogues,
ask and answer questions. I enjoy learning poems by heart. We translate
sentences from Russian into English and from English into Russian. If we don’t
know the meaning of a word, we look it up in the dictionary. We often read texts
in English. My dream is to read English books in the original. We check our
homework. During our English lesson we don’t speak Russian, we try to speak
English. Sometimes we write dictations and grammar tests. I usually get good
marks because I prepare for the tests beforehand.
I want to know English well that’s why I am attentive in class and I
always prepare my homework. I never miss classes.
English is difficult but we like it and work hard in class and at home.
