Ответыучеников.

5.Работастекстом (домашняяработа).You have a rather good idea of different nations, but I would like to extend your knowledge. At home you have read the text about Russians. (текст на карточках на партах учеников)

The Russians.

Russians are impressed with size and numbers, and much that they do is оnа grand scale (высокийуровень). This is not unusual for such а vast country. Russians think and act big.

Russians think of themselves as members of the community rather than as individuals. The origin of the Russian communalism lies deep in the vastness of the Great Russian Plain.

Nature has not bееn kind to Russia. Much of European Russia and Siberia is very cold most of the year. In Old Russia, people could do little during winter months. But in spring there was much to bе done, and in а short period of time. This' explains why Russians often are inactive for long periods of time and then show bursts of energy. The harsh climate explains the Russians' strength, their ability to overcome hardships, as well as their patience and submission. Climate has also made them cautious.

Their cruel climate, harsh history, and skeptical outlook (взгляд)оn life have made Russians value (ценить) stability, security, social order, and predictability, and to avoid (избегать) risk.

То understand the Russians, оnе must know from where they соmе from.

Take your cards. Let’s discuss it. Answer the questions:

What facts help to explain how Russians became who they are?

What have you learnt about them?

Who is a typical Russian man for you?

6. At home you have prepared mini-projects about some other nationalities. While you listen to each other try to answer to yourself the same questions as in the previous exercise.

7. Let’s check how attentively you have listened to each other. Which adjectives in the box do you think go with the given nationalities? Form sentences like: “German people are formal”. Try not to form sentences about the nation which you prepared for today.

Ответы учеников.

8. Now I see that you know a lot to understand foreigners. Tell me please, how can you, ordinary Russian students communicate with foreign people. By what means? With the help of what?

Ответы учеников.

But do you know that in modern English there are special words that are used to reduce (minimise) the length of the message in social nets? For example:

BB [Bye Bye] — "Счастливо!"

ASAP [As Soon As Possible] — "Какможнораньше"

OMG – [Oh, my God!] – «О,Боже!»

Do you want to learn more about these words?

These words are called acronyms ['akrənɪm], they are abbreviated words formed from the first letters of other words or word combinations.

The oldest acronyms are:

radar - ra(dio) d(etection) a(nd) r(anging)

laser – l(ight) a(mplification) by s(timulated) e(mission) of r(adiation)

9. At your desks you have the list of the most common decoded acronyms used in the social nets. You have also the translation. Try to decode and translate these messages:

Don’t be mad, CY I’m J/K! *W*
