ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ Целью методических указаний, предназначенных для студентов старших курсов приборостроительных специальностей, является формирование навыков разговорной речи и подготовка к сдаче устной части экзамена. Методические указания состоят из пяти уроков, каждый из которых соответствует устной теме, включенной в программу экзамена по английскому языку на четвертом курсе. Уроки посвящены профессиональной и страноведческой тематике: Россия и Великобритания, высшее образование в этих странах, специализация факультетов РЛ, ФН и БМТ. Дадим несколько рекомендаций по работе с методическими указаниями. Перед чтением основного текста предлагается изучить несколько высказываний известных людей с целью их обсуждения и выражения собственного мнения в форме согласия или несогласия и комментариев, а также обсудить основные вопросы, касающиеся заданной тематики. Этот этап работы способствует введению обучающихся в тему урока и дает предпосылки для ее последующего развития. Затем следует изучить основную лексику, имеющую отношение к тексту, т. е. прочитать и запомнить слова, необходимые для понимания текста, отработать произношение интернациональных слов и усвоить типичные словосочетания, что позволяет развить навыки перевода и говорения. Таким образом, предтекстовая работа дает возможность снять лексические трудности и создать коммуникативную базу для дальнейшей работы. После прочтения основного текста необходимо оценить и переосмыслить прочитанное, закрепить в памяти слова, не прибегая к переводному методу, и высказаться по теме, используя усвоенную лексику. К такой деятельности позволяют подготовиться задания на контроль понимания прочитанного с помощью обсужде
ния вопросов, данных после текста, упражнения по подбору определений к словам, выявлению основных идей текста и последующему обобщению их в единое высказывание. Заключительный этап включает работу над дополнительными текстами с предварительным обсуждением того, что студенты уже знают по данной теме, и подтверждением собственных мыслей в процессе чтения текстов, а также нахождением новой информации, которую в итоге предполагается использовать при обсуждении всей темы урока. Надеемся, что предлагаемые методические указания дадут возможность студентам осуществлять устное общение и связно высказываться о прочитанном и ранее известном, выражая при этом свое отношение к воспринятой информации.

Bauman Moscow State Technical University Russian universities offer a wide-ranging curriculum that meets the needs of both Russian and foreign students. Its aim is to prepare students for successful careers, enable graduates to work in leading companies all over the world. Graduates of Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU) receive all-round education and after graduation they continue to develop their academic abilities in their relevant areas. The mission of BMSTU is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the country and the world in the 21st century. BMSTU is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support of the whole University community. BMSTU admitted its first students in 1830. The opening marked an effort to establish a new kind of independent educational institution relevant to increasingly industrialized Russia. At the beginning of the 19th century Russia’s developing industry needed skilled labor in many areas. Thus, the aim of Bauman MHTS (Moscow Higher Technical School) was to train qualified specialists with considerable professional knowledge, so that they could master and apply skills in various fields. By 1868 the School achieved good results in chemical and textile industries, metal and wood processing. In 1930 some faculties branched off from the MHTS and new institutions of higher learning were established on their basis, among them — Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow Power Engineering Institute, the Military Chemical Academy, the Textile Institute and Moscow Civil Engineering Institute.
In 1989 the MHTS got a new name: Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Today BMSTU is a well-known educational institution. Teaching and research — with relevance to the practical world as a guiding principle — continue to be its primary purpose. Its 18 faculties encompass numerous academic departments, divisions, and degreegranting programs, as well as interdisciplinary centers and laboratories. The 18 faculties provide effective teaching according to diverse academic syllabuses. The faculties include Fundamental Sciences; Radioelectronics and Laser Technologies; Biomedical Engineering; Informatics and Control Systems; Engineering Business and Management; Materials and Technology; Special Machinery; Robotics and Complex Automation; Power Engineering and others. BMSTU training programs combine the experience of both Russian and international scientific schools to satisfy the current demands of modern science. BMSTU offers various training programs leading to scientific degrees, thus attracting students from other countries. In September 2003 Russia signed the Bologna Declaration. It is a commitment freely taken by each of 29 signatory countries to reform its own higher education system in order to meet the demands of educational standards. The goal of this document is to enhance employability and mobility of citizens and to increase the international competitiveness. Now in accordance with this declaration a two-level pattern has been developed, and students can be awarded the degrees of Bachelor and Master. BMSTU is committed to providing students with strong scientific and technical foundation, and to encouraging them to develop creativity in defining problems and seeking solutions. For the Bachelor of Science degree, students must complete a core requirement that includes studying chemistry, biology, physics, and calculus, as well as laboratory work. For the Bachelor degree students must complete a four-year course, which results in Bachelor’s diploma. Currently two types of diplomas are officially recognized as ones of completed higher education. They are a diploma of a Specialist and a diploma of a Master. Both degrees enable graduates to start research and write a dissertation. It is common knowledge that a person having higher education can contribute more to further accomplishments in the field of his or her
professional activity. Higher education gives a person unlimited prospects for professional progress. 3535 Task 5. Answer the questions to the text. 1. What is the aim of the curriculum in most Russian universities? 2. When did BMSTU admit its first students? 3. What was the aim of training at MHTS in the 19th century? Why? 4.

What is your opinion about the importance of getting higher education for young people in Russia? Do you think its role in modern society is decreasing? Why (not)? Task 6. Match the words and their definitions: 1) degree a) the ability to do something well 2) career b) make or become better 3) skill c) a person who holds a first degree 4) labor force d) something known by most people 5) a graduate e) a person who holds a second or further degree 6) to improve f) an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person’s life and with opportunities for progress 7) Bachelor g) an academic rank conferred by a university 8) Master h) a person who has successfully completed a course of study or training 9) common knowledge i) all the members of a particular organization or population who are able to work
Task 7. Compose a plan to the text. Task 8. Discuss the ideas about the faculties at BMSTU and say: what year you are in; what faculty you are studying at; what you know about your faculty and your major; why you chose it; if it was difficult for you to enter this faculty, why (not); how your program differs from the program in the first two years. Task 9. Read about the faculties and compare the information with the ideas you expressed. Text B. The Faculty of Fundamental Sciences The faculty is an important generator of knowledge. It provides each of its undergraduates with an understanding of the basic mathematics and physics, and the teaching staff are devoted to doing this well. The students are provided with the very best introduction to their chosen field, as well as the opportunity to participate in forefront research. On the other hand education in applied mathematics prepares one for many careers. Some graduate students pursue distinguished careers in research and education. However, others enjoy equally satisfying careers in business, industry, and government. Many combine their PhD degrees in applied mathematics with medical, law, or business degrees and are well prepared to make creative contributions to the modern world. Established in 1964, the Faculty of Fundamental Sciences has always provided an integrated approach to the training of students combining theoretical subjects with research done by students under the guidance of the teaching staff. The curriculum includes a wide variety of subjects that could be useful for future graduates. Students master algebra, analyses, the theory of differential equations, higher mathematics, strength of materials, instrument design. Graduates of the faculty can apply their knowledge working in various fields, as their skills are always demanded. 1145

All senior students master such subjects as elements of machines, fundamentals of electronics, radio engineering, informatics, theory of optoelectronic systems. Students take an active part in research in various areas of science. They develop new technologies which are applied in different spheres of industry. ”RL” faculty is a distinguished faculty due to its profound academic programs, cutting-edge research and a longstanding commitment to modern technical development. 1263 Text D. The Faculty of Biomedical Engineering Advances in basic biology at the molecular and cellular levels during recent decades have dramatically increased the knowledge about biological systems. It is widely agreed that a crucial challenge for the coming decades is how to integrate information from the genomic level to higher levels of system organization, for both fundamental scientific understanding and development of innovative biotechnologies. Thus, a new discipline of biomedical engineering is emerging. It is directed toward analysis of biological systems and synthesis of technologies that
