Методические указания
Письменная контрольная работа по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» ( английский) , выполняемая студентами заочной формы обучения, предусмотрена учебным планом СПбГИЭУ. Данная дисциплина призвана обеспечить современный квалифицированный уровень экономиста, способного владеть иностранным языком на бытовую тематику, делового общения и извлечения информации профессионального назначения из зарубежных печатных источников.
Целью выполнения контрольных заданий является самостоятельное приобретение и углубление знаний студентами в области иностранного языка, их знакомство с основными элементами лексико-грамматической модели английского языка. Кроме того, контрольная работа является одним из видов контроля качества знаний студентов, изучающих данную дисциплину.
В контрольной работе используется следующий принцип построения вариантов заданий:
Часть1- выполнение упражнений на грамматические аспекты английского языка;
Часть 2 – письменный перевод текста с английского языка на русский язык и выполнение упражнений к тексту.
Вариант контрольной работы определяется начальной буквой фамилии студента.
Вариант № 1 выполняется студентами, фамилии которых начинаются с букв А-З.
Вариант № 2 выполняется студентами, фамилии которых начинаются с букв И-О.
Вариант № 3 выполняется студентами, фамилии которых начинаются с букв П-Я.
К выполнению контрольных заданий следует подходить творчески, особенно ко второму виду работы - переводу текста. В этом случае необходимо прежде всего ознакомиться с его содержанием и определить общую направленность текста. Затем следует сделать список незнакомых слов, встречающихся в тексте, и расположить их в предварительных записях (черновике) в алфавитном порядке, что сэкономит время поиска их русских соответствий в словаре. В качестве третьего этапа целесообразно сконцентрировать внимание на словосочетаниях и грамматических конструкциях, содержащихся в тексте, и - при необходимости - обратиться к грамматическим комментариям, находящимся в учебнике английского языка. После этих предварительных этапов обработки текста можно приступать к его переводу.
Качество работы оценивается по тому, насколько глубоко и адекватно выполнен студентом перевод текста (в оценку входит также стилистическое и грамматическое оформление переводного русского текста), правильность выполнения упражнений. Дается общая оценка «зачтена» или «не зачтена». Если работа не зачтена, в нее необходимо внести соответствующие исправления с учетом сделанных замечаний. Студенты, не выполнившие контрольную работу или не получившие зачета по ней, к зачетам и экзаменам не допускаются.

The White House
The White House is the residence of the president of the United States of America. It is situated in Washington, D. C. The white House was the first public building which was built in the capital of the USA. Its cornerstone was laid in 1792 nearly one year before George Washington laid the cornerstone for the Capitol building.
Architect James Hoban submitted plans for the building and received a 500 dollar prize for his work.
In 1800 President John Adams and his wife moved into the building. At the beginning of the 19th century it was a light-grey structure made of sandstone. The construction of the building hadn’t been completed by that time. There were almost no conveniences in the house. There were no bathrooms and water was carried by hand into the house from a spring which was five blocks away.
Work continued on the structure when Thomas Jefferson was elected president. In 1814 the building caught on fire. The interior was reduced to ashes, parts of the outer walls were destroyed and the remaining walls were blackened. Later the building was reconstructed and reopened in 1818. Its light-grey sandstone exterior was painted white to cover the effects of the fire. It has been white ever since. Some people think it was from its white walls that the home of the president of the USA got its name. Other people believe that it got its name earlier, when it was still grey. Even then its grey sandstone walls looked white next to the red brick walls of other public buildings. Nevertheless the president’s home was officially named the White House in 1902.

Rockfeller Center
Everyone who visits New York City today wants to see Rockfeller Center. It is one of the most popular places of interest. But what is Rockfeller Center? Rockfeller Center is really a small city with thousands of offices, all kinds of stores, restaurants and small shops. The buildings are very large and very high. The style of the buildings is modern. There is little decoration. The architects who planned them tried to do two things. First they tried to make the buildings look like one group. Second they tried at the same time to make each building a little different in form from the others.
There are many facts and stories about Rockfeller Center. Here is one of them about John Rockfeller, who together with some other companions began work on Rockfeller Center in 1930. It took about ten years to complete all of the original buildings.
One day he was walking along the street where the construction had just begun. He wanted to see the work which was going on. There was a high fence around the construction site. He tried to look through the fence but could see nothing. Just then a policeman came along. “Move along”, said the policeman. “You can’t stand here.”
“I was trying to watch the work,” said Mr. Rockfeller. “Move along”, repeated the policeman. “I am John Rockfeller,” said Mr. Rockfeller. “Sure, and I am President Roosevelt,” said the policeman. “Now move along, mister. And don’t give me any more trouble.
Mr. Rockfeller went to his office and gave an order to cut holes in all the fencies at eyelevel. Today this is the general custom in New York City. These holes are for the convenience of anyone who wants to stop and watch the work as long as he or she likes.

The Bermuda Triangle
There is one part of the Western Atlantic Ocean which has a very strange history. It lies between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico and is known as “The Bermuda Triangle”. The Bermuda triangle got its name from a mysterious event which took place on the 5th of December 1945.
It was a warm sunny day, and there were only a few clouds in the sky. It was good weather for flying, and five officers in the US Navy were planning their two-hour flight to Bermuda. The date – early December.
The crew members were already thinking about their Christmas holidays and their families. Their planes were ready after lunch.
At the last minute one of the crew members went to the doctor. He didn’t feel well. The commanding officer needed him, however. He said : “The flight is only two hours. Don’t worry! You’ll be back soon. You have to go.”
At 2.10 p. m. the planes were in the air. One hour later, their work was finished, and they began the journey back to their base in Florida. Suddenly their radio controller at the Navy base received this message from Flight 19.
“Emergency. This is an emergency! We cannot see land. We are not sure of our position. Everything is strange. The compass is spinning wildly. We don’t know our direction. We don’t know where we are…”
Then the voices stopped. Radio contact stopped. The Navy immediately sent a search plane out to look for the men. All six planes and twenty-two men were never seen again.
