TEXT IB HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

If you go on an excursion to the Pavlov Biological Station at Pavlovo near St. Petersburg, you will see a very interesting monument there. It is a monument to the dog. The dog, as you know, played a very important part (роль) in all Pavlov’s experiments. Pavlov wanted to thank the dog, so this monument was set up (установлен).

Then, if you go to see Pavlov's room in which great scientist worked for so many years, you will see another dog, a toy one, standing on the bookcase. This toy dog has a very interesting history. It comes from Cambridge, one of the oldest universities in the world.

Once a group of students stopped before the window of a toyshop (иг­рушечныймагазин) in Cambridge and looked at the toy dogs there. “There’s the thing we want,” said one of them, and he pointed to a white dog in the shop window. They entered the shop and soon came out with the big white dog they had seen in the window. Then laughing (смеясь) and talking they went to their professor and showed the dog to him.

The professor did not understand what it was all about until one of the students told him about their plan to give Pavlov the present (подарок) of the toy dog.

“Where did you get the idea from?” asked the professor. “I think it’s an excellent (отличная) one."

“We got it from the grandson of Charles Darwin, who is now a student here," they answered. “When Darwin got his doctor’s degree (степень) at Cambridge, the students gave him a toy monkey (обезьянка). That was how they showed that they supported (поддерживать) his theory of the origin of man."

The next day was a great holiday at Cambridge. Thousands of students came to the University to see the foreign scientists receive their diplomas. The students watched the ceremony from the gallery.

It was Pavlov’s turn (очередь) to receive his diploma. As he was going forward under the gallery, the students let the dog right down into his arms. He looked up, saw all the young smiling faces above him and understood that they wanted to show him that they supported his theory.

At that moment an old professor on the other side of the hall said to his friend: “Look, the students are giving Pavlov a toy dog. Did you see Darwin get his diploma? So you remember (помнить) him standing there with a. toy monkey in his hands nearly forty years ago? History repeats itself, doesn’t it?”

TEXT 1C SCHOOLING IN ENGLAND

1. How many days a week is school open?

Every child in Great Britain between the ages of five and sixteen years must attend school. There are three main types of educational institutions: primary schools, secondary schools and universities. State schools are free (бесплатный) and attendance is compulsory. Morning school begins at nine o’clock and lasts for three hours until twelve o’clock noon. Afternoon school begins at two o’clock and lasts for two and a half hours until half- past four. School is open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no lessons.

2. What subjects do children learn in the Junior school?

In the primary schools, where children study from five to eleven years, the first two years are mainly taken up with learning to read, write and do simple arithmetic. In addition, the children draw, paint, model and sing. The first two years of the primary school are called die Infant school (шко­ладлямалышей).

At seven the pupils are transferred to the Junior school (начальнаяшколадлядетейот7до11лет) which is usually situated in another section of the same building. At this age level the following subjects appear in the study programme: English, history, geography, nature study, music and others. At the age of eleven the pupils finish the primary school and continue their education at one of the secondary schools.

3. What kind of secondary schools are there in England?

There are different types of secondary schools in England. This system of secondary education has developed since the Act of 1944 according to which on leaving the primary school a pupil may go either to a secondary Modem, Technical, Grammar or Comprehensive school.

The Secondary Modem School (средняясовременнаяшкола) is attended by pupils between the ages of eleven and sixteen. It is a state school which has a practical trend. Such courses as secretarial, trade and commerce, agriculture, gardening, cooking are taught there. These schools are usually well equipped with workshops for woodwork, metalwork, cooking, etc.

On leaving this school the pupils who wish to continue their education may attend evening classes which prepare them for entering a college or a university.

39

4. In what fields of national economy do the leavers of the Secondary Technical School work?

The Secondary Technical School gives a general technical education It is attended by those pupils who are more mechanically inclined (склон­ный). The pupils have the opportunity to try their hand at the machines in the workshops. More time is given to such subjects as mathematics and science (естественныенауки). In other words, this school gives a good foundation to work in the fields of industry and agriculture.

4. What do the pupils receive on finishing the Grammar School?

The Secondary Grammar school (классическаяшкола) is attended by the pupils between the ages of eleven and sixteen or eighteen. Some of them are state schools and some are private or independent schools. Most of them have two sides: a classical side, specializing in ancient languages (Greek and Latin), history and philosophy; and a modem side, specializing in modem languages, natural science and geography. The leavers of this school receive the General Certificate of Education (аттестатзрелости). On receiving this certificate a pupil may either leave the school or continue his studies for another two years in what is called the “Sixth Form^”to

1. receive the same certificate but at the advanced level (продвинутыйуро­вень). In order to enter a university a boy or a girl must pass examinations in five subjects, two of which must at least be at the advanced level.

Among the private schools there are some very old and famous ones, such as Eton, Harrow, Rugby, etc. The fees at these schools are rather high, so usually rich parents send their children there.

4. Till what age do the pupils study according to the general programme?

Comprehensive schools (единаясредняяшкола) are state schools which combine three types of schools: grammar school, secondary modem school and technical school. The pupils study there according to the general programme till the age of thirteen or fifteen, after that they have special courses depending on their inclination. The number of comprehensive schools is rather great and it is constantly growing.

Games for Language Learning

Playing games is a highly efficient language learning method, adaptable to most learners’ needs. Some of the games of this book are familiar, with new variants, but many are completely original, such as “Climbing through a postcard”. They offer a lot of varied practice for listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Language learning is hard work; these games make that hard work both enjoyable and efficient.

The Key to English

There is great interest in letter writing among students of English in various countries, and this manual is intended to supply them with the information they need to make their letters conform to the practices that are standard in English-speaking countries. The essential rules for writing good letters do not differ much, of course, from one country to another; it is in the outward form and in formulas of courtesy that the most striking differences exist, and those are the things emphasized here.

Numerous sample letters that the student can use as models are included, and there are check-up questions and some letter-writing problems at the end.

Discourse in Action

“Discourse in Action” is a course in reading comprehension for students of English as a foreign language. It is based on the belief that a special kind of course is required for students of English whose main need is to gain access to information through English. The course has been designed for a wide range of learners whose need can be described as “English for Academic Purposes” — secondary school pupils, students in universities and other tertiary institutions, adults whose profession requires them to make use of material in English. It is therefore intended to help students and others read textbooks, works of reference and general academic interest, source books and journals in English.

Approaches

“Approaches” is designed for students interested in using language rather than learning more about structure. It teaches you how to communicate effectively in English: to meet people, to ask for things, to say wbat you want and how you feel. It also gives essential information about life in Britain. The emphasis is on speaking, but listening, reading and writing are also practiced, and the focus is always on how people actually ^Usethe language.

41

The cassette which accompanies the book is an integral part of the course. It is also designed specially for you to take home after your course to consolidate the material of the book.
