Предисловие Уважаемый студент!
Добро пожаловать на второй курс! В этом году Вам предстоит научиться применять полученные Вами ранее знания, чтобы грамотно и точно переводить с английского языка на русский тексты по Вашей специальности, извлекать из них информацию как с помощью словаря, так и без него. Недаром теперь наш предмет называется «Иностранный язык в профессиональной сфере». Для того, чтобы справляться с такого рода заданиями, Вам предстоит овладеть определенной терминологией. Знание такой лексики могут помочь Вам при сдаче экзамена в конце второго курса.
Данный сборник состоит из трех частей: первые две части – это непосредственно тексты по специальности, предназначенные для аудиторной работы, а также раздел для самостоятельной работы: «Home reading». Для работы с текстами из третьей части Вам понадобится англо-русский словарь, чтобы выписывать незнакомые слова в тетрадь и их транскрипцию с тем, чтобы подготовиться к хорошему переводу и чтению. В конце каждого из таких текстов указано количество печатных знаков. Таким образом Вы сможете вести учет сданных печатных знаков и фиксировать их в Листе учета прочитанных текстов. Преподаватель ставит оценку и расписывается в листе учета.

1. Чтение и точный письменный перевод текста по специальности на 1000 печатных знаков с использованием словаря (30 минут);
2. Пересказ текста по специальности на 1500 печатных знаков на русском языке без словаря (15 минут);
3. Беседа по одной из тем: «My family»; «My day»; «Our University»; «Russia»; «Great Britain»; «The USA».

Farmers of Russia grow such cereals as wheat, rye, buckwheat, barley and oats. They grow vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, onions and cabbage. Animal breeding is developed all over the country. Farmers raise cows for milk and meat; sheep are kept for their wool and meat. Farmers breed poultry: hens, ducks and geese. Farms are provided with tractors, combine-harvesters, trucks and other farm machinery. The chief aim of agriculture is to supply industry with raw materials and population with food.
