Введение

Аудирование – это понимание воспринятого на слух говорения. Оно базируется на природных способностях, которые совершенствуются в процессе индивидуального развития человека, и дает ему возможность понимать услышанную информацию, отбирать и оценивать ее в соответствии с интересами или поставленными задачами. В процессе обучения иностранному языку студенты сталкиваются с трудностями при восприятии на слух иноязычной речи. Эти трудности обусловлены многими факторами: это недостаточный словарный запас, несформированность навыков аудирования, неумение определять значение многозначных слов и паронимов (звучание которых отличается лишь одним звуком). Цель данных методических указаний – расширить рецептивный словарный запас обучаемых, сформировать навыки и расширить умения ауидрования, помочь снять возникающие трудности при обучении аудированию. Методические указания включают специально подобранные тексты для аудирования, которые сопровождаются предтекстовыми и послетекстовыми упражнениями. Тексты и задания расположены в порядке нарастания трудностей. Методические указания предназначены для аудиторной работы, носят универсальный характер и могут использоваться при обучении студентов всех факультетов.

A USEFUL LESSON

Several ladies and gentlemen were travelling together in a railway carriage. They were strangers to one another, but the conversation soon became general. One of the ladies had been to the opera the night before, and was loudly expressing her disapproval. “Worse of all,” she went on, “that Mrs. Harding is much too old for her part; her singing has become unbearable. Don’t you think so too?” she asked, turning to the gentleman next to her.

“Wouldn’t you rather tell all this to Mrs. Harding herself? She is sitting opposite to you,” he replied coldly.

After the general silence which followed this remark the critical lady turned to the singer with many confused apologies.

“It is that awful critic, Thompson, who has influenced my judgement concerning your singing. I believe it is he who is always writing against you. He must be a most disagreeable and pedantic person.”

WHERE IS MY BOTTLE OF WHISKEY?

A big American car went up Winifred Street and stopped in front of a shabby-looking cottage just off the main road. It was indeed the finest vehicle, it seemed, that has ever moved about the moors in Scotland, and now that it came to Kirkaldy, it was bound to cause great commotion all over the town.

Presently, a middle-aged gentleman got out of the car, paced across to the entrance gate, tore it open and made straight to the house. At that very moment the door opened and an old Scotsman came into the garden. The gentleman made a dash over the flower bed and found himself in front of the host.

“Daddy”, he whispered in a voice trembling with emotion, “do you recognize me? I’m your son, Gordon. Remember, 30 years ago you sent me to the Ferguson’s to get you a bottle of whiskey…”

“Yes, I do,” said the old man.

“That’s when I ran away to America,” continued the gentleman, no doubt delighted his father could remember him, “and made my fortune there. I am, of course, a respectably married man, and now would like to introduce to you my wife and my five children,” finished he, pointing to the car and the crowd of youngsters getting out of it.
