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.

Task 2. Read the text “My Daily Programme”.
Let me introduce myself. My name is … . I am a second-year student of
Samara State University, the German Department. As I am a student I am very
busy. Let me describe my ordinary day to you. At half past six my alarm-clock
rings and it’s time for me to get up. I’m usually lazy to do my morning exercises
but I like a cold shower in the morning, so I go to the bathroom. I have a
shower, brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I go back to my room to dress
and make my bed. I brush and comb my hair and at a quarter past seven I have
9
breakfast. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee, an egg and a sandwich. As a
rule, I have lectures at 8.30 and leave early. I usually take a bus (trolleybus) to
the university. It never takes me more than 20 minutes to get there and I’m never
late for my classes. We usually have 3 or 4 classes running a day. These are
practical lessons, lectures and seminars. During one of the breaks I go to the
canteen to have a glass of tea and a bun. But if I have to stay at the reading-hall I
have a substantial meal at the canteen.
After classes I go home and have dinner. I take a half an hour’s rest
during which I look through the newspapers and magazines and relax and then
resume studies. There are always grammar rules to learn, some exercises to be
done orally or in writing, a chapter or two from the home book to read for my
German and English studies. But this is not all – I read books for my Literature
course and get ready for a seminar in one of the subjects. All this makes my
evenings extremely busy. Of course, I have some breaks for watching TV,
listening to my favourite music and telephone chats with my friends. If the
weather is fine I go for a walk to take a breath of fresh air. I also have supper
with my parents and then I wash up and sweep the floor in the kitchen with a
broom. By 11 o’clock I usually feel tired and sleepy and go to bed soon after 11
but more than once I sit up late to prepare for the next day. I like an old English
proverb, “An early bird catches the worm”.
