УЧЕБНО-МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ УКАЗАНИЯ
Английский язык в высшей школе изучается с целью его дальнейшего практического применения будущим специалистом. Это предполагает приобретение определенных навыков и умений, в том числе: чтение литературы по специальности с целью извлечения профессиональной информации из англоязычных источников, навыков устной речи (говорение и аудирование) в рамках предусмотренной программой тематики, профессиональное общение в сети Интернет. В качестве средства обучения, а также контроля за пониманием прочитанного используется перевод как способ передачи полученной при чтении информации
Важно отметить, что особенностью заочного обучения является значительно больший объем самостоятельной работы студента по сравнению с объемом практических аудиторных занятий с преподавателем, поэтому для того, чтобы овладеть всеми вышеперечисленными навыками, необходимы систематические самостоятельные занятия.
Самостоятельная работа студента по изучению иностранного языка включает в себя заучивание лексических единиц, овладение правилами словообразования и грамматики, чтение текстов вслух в соответствии с правилами чтения, построение вопросов и ответов к текстам, перевод на русский язык и на английский язык (устный и письменный).

Youth Organizations in Great Britain
Youth movement has become an important factor in the life of Great Britain. Numerous youth organizations have been formed since the Second World War, uniting young people from all classes and sections of the population. There are about 60 youth organizations in Great Britain. Youth Council represents the youth of the country both nationally and internationally. All youth organizations can be divided into three large groups:
1. non-political organizations;
2. youth organizations associated with political parties;
3. youth organizations controlled by religious bodies.
The two largest non-political youth organizations are the associations of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. There are about 1300000 boys and girls in them. The membership is voluntary. The Scout Association was formed in 1908 by General Baden Powell. His idea was to train boys in mapping, first aid and all the skills that would arise from camping and outdoor activities. Most important of all for a Scout was to make a promise that he would do his best to fulfil his duty to God and the Queen, to help other people and to obey the Scout Law. The Boy Scouts had a left-handed handshake, a special badge and the motto “Be Prepared”. The Scout Law embraces “honour, obedience, cheerfulness and cleanliness” in thought and deed.
The Scout movement was intended for boys from 11 to 14 (15), but in 1916 Baden Powell introduced a program for younger people. He called them Wolf Cubs. They had special uniforms, badges, a special training system and the motto “Do your best!”. The Wolf Cub pack is based on Kipling's “Jungle Book” about learning how to survive.
The Girl Guides Association was founded by Baden Pawell in 1910. It's divided into three sections: Brownies (from 7.5 to 11), Guides (from 11 to 16), Rangers (from 16 to 21). The program of training is planned to develop intelligence and practical skills including cookery, needlework, childcare. Like a Scout a Girl Guide must be a friend to animals. The Girl Guides Association has extensive international links.
Youth Organization Greenpeace deals with the most urgent ecological problems. It protests against nuclear weapon tests, sea and soil pollution, etc. Sport clubs are characteristic for youth organizations in the UK. They unite people who are interested in baseball, football, golf, etc. There also exist interest clubs. You can attend any club: from theatre to bird-watching the way, bird-watching clubs are very popular in Great Britain.
There are several youth organizations associated with political parties. The Youth Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (YCND) unites young people and organizes mass rallies and meetings, demonstrations, marches of protest, festivals. It co-operates with the National Union of Students.
Religious young organizations and groups aim at helping elderly people or working in hospitals. There are even groups where young people help released prisoners to start their lives anew. Religious organizations pay attention not only to the study of religious views but involve youth into such activities as music festivals and amateur theatre.
As you see, all these organizations aim at preserving and strengthening the social and political system existing in the country. Many of them have done and still are doing useful work in providing leisure facilities for young English people.

London – the political and cultural center of GB
There are a lot of places of interest in London. They are all worth seeing. On the north side of Trafalgar Square stands one of the world's greatest art galleries. The National Gallery represents all schools of Western painting from the Italian Primitives to the early 20th century. Portraits by Reynolds and Gainsborough can be seen here.
Since the time of William the Conqueror the Tower of London has served as a fortress, a royal residence, treasury, mint and prison. Here many people were imprisoned and beheaded. Now it's a museum. There is a legend about the Tower. It says that the Tower will fall if it loses its ravens. So the birds are carefully guarded.
St. Paul's Cathedral is the largest and the most magnificent church of the city. The High Altar forms a memorial to those who died in the two World Wars.
Whitehall contains many government offices. Downing Street at number 10 contains the Prime Minister's residence. Fleet Street is famous for its newspapers' offices and agencies.
Piccadilly is one of London's busiest road-junctions. It's always full of cars, people as there are many theatres, shops and restaurants there.
The houses of Parliament in London, also known as the Palace of Westminster, are the place where members of Parliament (M. P.) gather to make laws. The Palace of Westminster stands on the riverside near Westminster Abbey. Tourists always go to see them. Those who visit the Houses of Parliament may sit in the Strangers' Gallery looking down into the Houses of Commons and listen to the debates.
The members of each House meet in sessions which begin at the end of October and last for about one hundred and sixty days. The sittings usually begin at 10 o'clock in the morning and end in the late afternoon; but if Parliament is discussing an important question sittings may go on till late at night. All the time Parliament is in session, a flag can be seen over the building, and when the House of Commons is still sitting after dark, there is a light over the face of Big Ben. The members of the House of Commons sit on two sides of the hall. The Speaker is the chairperson at all the debates in the House of Commons, and it is his duty to keep order. The Speaker is elected by all the members of the House of Commons. He belongs to one of the political parties in Parliament, but he never votes with the government.
The chairperson of the House of Lords is Lord Chancellor. He sits on the Woolsack, a large bag of wool covered with red cloth. It shows that wool made England rich.
Union Jack is the popular name given to the flag of Great Britain. Actually it is a mixture of several flags.
It all began in 1606 when Scotland was joined to England and Wales. The Scottish flag, St. Andrew's Cross, blue with a white cross from corner to corner, was joined to the English Flag, St. George's Cross, with a red cross. The flag of St. George can still be seen on churches in England.
Later, in 1801, when Ireland joined the union, the Irish Flag of St. Patrick’s Cross was added, white with a red cross from corner to corner. A “jack”, by the way, is an old word for “sailor”. The Union Jack is also on the flags of Australia and New Zealand.

A person of contradictions
Prince Charles is often mentioned as the second important figure of English Royal Family. Charles is eccentric and he doesn’t deny it. He talks to trees and plants. He wants to save wildlife but at the same time enjoys hunting and fishing. He dresses for dinner, even if he eats alone.
He is a great socializer. He likes to invite poets, actors, artists, broadcasters for dinner. Arriving at Highgrove, his family home, on a Sunday afternoon in a time for Martini, guests are entertained in the height of luxury, all of them are shown round his beautifully-kept gardens.
Charles has a lot of staff working for him: secretaries, chauffeurs, chefs, butlers, maids, handymen, cleaners. They all are supposed to perform well, otherwise they are told off. If they do their duties properly, they are praised in the royal memo.
The future monarch is a man of great humour, who cares passionately about the state of the British nation. He is devoted to his two sons, William and Harry and he is madly in love with his wife Camilla.
Together Charles and Camilla perform royal duties, both in the UK and abroad. Reporters counted that he attends over 500 public events a year. He visits business conferences, charity parties, hospitals, youth groups, performing artists. He often hosts receptions to welcome visiting heads of state and top celebrities.
His Royal Highness travels abroad extensively, as an ambassador to the United Kingdom, representing trade and industry. He does much to promote better understanding between different religions. Charles is President of the Prince’s Charities, which are active in promoting the arts, education, business, the environment and opportunities for young people. This organization rises about 100 million pounds annually.
Camilla shares her husband’s passion for hunting and fishing, and also his interest in conservation of towns and countryside. The only thing she leaves to Charles is skiing. She stays at home when he makes his annual trip to Klosters in Switzerland..
Despite not being on the throne His Royal Highness works hard for his country. He is concerned about the state of the country he loves, and shows his frustration that government do little to tackle those problems about which he feels so strongly.
Prince Charles founded The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation in 1979. It is now one of the largest independent foundations in the UK.
The work of the Charitable Foundation is two-fold:
1. A grant making body that supports a wide range of causes, the primary areas of interest being the built environment, responsible business and enterprise, young people and education, and global sustainability.
2. An incubator for initiatives and projects that fall within the Charitable Foundation’s primary areas of interest, mentioned above, such as The Prince’s Rainforest Project, Accounting for Sustainability and The Place Strategy.
The Prince of Wales owns his food company, Duchy Originals. It originally sold biscuits, but is now expanding to become one of the country’s best known and successful organic brands, with more than 200 different products, including drinks, food, and hair and body care products.
Charles, hard-working, well-intentioned and conservative, continues to do his duty as he sees it. One day he will be King and his wife Camilla will be HRH Her Royal Highness The Princess Consort.

The Economy of the UK.
The economy of England was mainly agricultural until the 18th century. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, England gradually became an industrial region.
During the late 18th and the 19th centuries, the growth of heavy industries (steel and iron, shipbuilding and textiles) in the northeastern counties was based on the proximity of coal and iron-ore deposits.
The Depression of 1930s and foreign competition contributed to a decrease in the production of manufactured goods and an increase in unemployment in the factories of Lancashire, Cheshire Staffordshire and other industrial regions. The unemployed from these northern counties moved to London and the surrounding areas.
The southeast became industrialized and urbanized, with electrical, automotive, chemical, and machine tool manufactures as the key industries.
The population growth and urbanization taking place in the 20th century caused a significant drop in the number of farms in England, but nevertheless several counties such as Cornwall, Devon, Kent, Lincolnshire, Somerset and North Yorkshire have remained agricultural.
The UK was the first country in the world to industrialize in the 18th and 19th centuries, and for much of the 19th century possessed a predominant role in the global economy.
The extensive war efforts of both World Wars in the 20th century weakened the UK economy in global terms, and by that time Britain had been put back by the United States as the chief player in the global economy.
The British economic system is now a complex combination of several systems, and pure capitalism is probably a smaller element than in any other West European country.
About one-third of all goods and services are produced by central or local government or by state-owned corporations. Most energy production is socialized: production and distribution of electricity and gas, production of coal, production and distribution of oil, the iron and steel producing industry.
The state owns the railways, most buses, most public transport airplanes, nearly all important airports, water supply, radio, two television channels, posts and telephones. Local authorities, with state support, are responsible for roads, for the welfare services, and for ninety per cent of education.
The other two-thirds of the economy is within the private sector, shared between public companies, private companies and individuals.
The structure of British industry has changed greatly. In 1900 coal mining, textiles, shipbuilding and heavy engineering were main industries. Since 1930 British industrial growth has been concentrated on newer productions: chemicals, electrical goods, vehicles, aircrafts, furniture and others. Now Britain produces high quality expensive goods which have always been characteristic of its industry. Britain produces and exports cotton and woolen goods, leather goods, and articles made of various kinds of synthetic (man-made) materials.
The industries which have grown in number of people employed are banking, finance, insurance, the Law, advertising, educational, health and social welfare services. Four million people were employed in these industries in 1960, eight million in 1980.
In contrast to industry, British agriculture has been almost the most efficient in Europe. The grain crops and vegetables are grown in all parts of the country, especially in the south.
The greater part of land is used for sheep and cattle breeding and pig raising. Sheep and cattle breeding are still developed in Great Britain.
