Английский язык. Рассказы. Уровень В2+

Научно-образовательная: иностранные языки

Настоящее пособие завершает серию учебников, в основе которых лежит метод Речевой плазмы (the Speech Plasma Method). Если целью первых книг было научить говорить на английском языке, используя минимум лексических и грамматических средств, то данное пособие направлено на обучение уверенной, спонтанной речи во всей ее сложности и разнообразии. Учебник состоит из двадцати рассказов-историй из реальной жизни носителей английского языка, записанных с их слов, в результате бесед с ними в непринужденной, доверительной обстановке. Каждый рассказ сопровождается микротекстами-тренингами, которые, по методу Речевой плазмы, активизируют и совершенствуют свободную речь обучаемого.

Описание

A Trip to Crete Last year my wife and I spent our holidays in Crete, the southernmost island in Greece, and we made lots of little excursions there into the countryside. On one occasion, we wanted to visit the south side of the island, where there are some ruins from the Roman times and from a former monastery. We went there by bus, travelling along tiny little windy roads. It was quite frightening to watch how the bus driver was manoeuvring the vehicle around all of the twisty curves in the road, quite breathtaking. At every curve we were scared that the bus would crash, and the bus driver had to signal with his horn at each turning as it was impossible to see if any traffic was coming from the other direction and there wasn’t enough space on the road for two vehicles to pass side by side. When we arrived at the nearest bus stop to the ruins, we could see them in the distance, and we could see that there were only two ways to get there – on foot, or by boat, if we had one, which we didn’t. So, we started walking in that direction, along a dried up river bed. From the map it seemed that the distance we had to walk was about three kilometres, but it must have been longer, as it took us about three hours of difficult climbing and scrambling over rocks to get there.
