Экзаменационная работа включает следующие задания:

Часть 1 – выполнение упражнений на грамматические и лексические аспекты английского языка: подстановочные упражнения и упражнения на преобразование грамматических форм и предложений, упражнения на проверку знаний студентом стилистически нейтральной наиболее употребительной лексики, отражающей раннюю специализацию.

Часть 3 – перевод текста по специальности (объем 1500 печатных знаков) на русский языка с дальнейшими ответами на вопросы по содержанию текста.

Часть 1

Задание 1.1., 1.2., 1.5., 1.6., 1.7., 1.8. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в материал экзаменационной работы не вносится.

Задание 1.3. Если предложение не содержит грамматической ошибки, необходимо указать Right. Если предложение содержит грамматическую ошибку, необходимо указать Wrong, написать исправленное предложение с выделением исправленного фрагмента.

Задание 2.1., 2.2., 2.3. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицы. Английский вариант текстов этих заданий в материал экзаменационной работы не вносится.

Задание 2.4. Должно быть либо напечатано, либо написано четким, понятным почерком, без исправлений.

Часть 3

Задание 3.1. Перевод текста должен быть выполнен полностью, без сокращений. Возможно приведение нескольких вариантов отдельных фрагментов. Английский вариант текста в материал экзаменационной работы не вносится.

К выполнению заданий надо подходить творчески, особенно к переводу текста. Прежде всего, необходимо ознакомиться с его содержанием и определить общую направленность текста. Затем следует сделать список незнакомых слов, встречающихся в тексте и расположить их 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 – обратится к грамматическим комментариям, находящимся в рекомендуемых учебниках английского языка. После этих предварительных этапов обработки текста можно приступить к его переводу.

В ряде случаев для точной передачи содержания может потребоваться специализированный экономический словарь.

Задание 3.2., 3.3. Следует четко занести ответы в таблицу. Необходимо сопроводить письменным комментарием или ссылкой на текст.

Пример:

2. A: The trouble is, as more and more are invented, they lose their impact, (par.2, lines 9-10)

B: Some people believe this (par.2, line 6), but it is not necessarily the writer's opinion.

C/D: There is nothing in the text to support these statements.
