Ex. 1. Read and translate the following text. Prepare for a discussion: The Way I Study History. History in My Life.
The Way I Study History
(Part 1)
1. Let mo introduce myself: I am Victor Belov, a student at Moscow University. "Now I am a freshman, as they put it in America, and I am doing history1 take a full course of world and Russian history, let alone some other things I ust say I take a special liking to the subjects in which I am going to major (to specialize). And that is modern history of Russia which was my favourite subject at school. It was shortly before leaving school that I made up my mind to enter this faculty and take up history seriously as my future speciality. Whether I will make a very good teacher or a research worker remains to be seen, but I am sure that eventually I will become quite knowledgeable in the field of history and perhaps social sciences. There are many historical subjects in our programme. When we are through with ancient history, we will pass over to the study of the Middle Ages ". As to Russian history, I think, we will start learning the contemporary period next year, but not until we are through with the feudal period. When I am in my third year, I wish to devote myself to the special study of modern and contemporary history by which I am greatly attracted.
Ex. 2. Supply vocabulary using given text.
Граматичний матеріал: Іменник. Однина і множина іменника.
These words are plural, so they take a plural verb: • My trousers are too long. (not my trousers is) You can also use a pair of + these words: • Those are nice jeans. or That's a nice pair of jeans. (not a nice jeans) • I need some new glasses. or I need a new pair of glasses.
Some nouns end in -ics, but are not usually plural. For example: athletics economics electronics gymnastics maths (= mathematics) physics politics • Gymnastics is my favourite sport. (not Gymnastics are) News is not plural: • What time is the news on television? (not are the news) Some words ending in -s can be singular or plural. For example: means a means of transport many means of transport series a television series two television series species a species of bird 200 species of bird
Some singular nouns are often used with a plural verb. For example: audience committee company family firm government staff team These nouns are all groups of people. We often think of them as a number of people (= they), not as one thing (= it). So we often use a plural verb: • The government (= they) want to increase taxes. • The staff at the school (= they) are not happy with their new working conditions. In the same way, we often use a plural verb after the name of a sports team or a company: • Italy are playing Brazil next week (in a football match). • Shell have increased the price of petrol. A singular verb (The government wants ... / Shell has ... etc.) is also possible. We use a plural verb with police: • The police are investigating the murder, but haven't arrested anyone yet. (not The police is ... hasn't) Note that we say a police officer / a policeman / a policewoman (not a police).
We do not often use the plural of person ('persons'). We normally use people (a plural word): • He's a nice person. but They are nice people. (not nice persons) • Many people don't have enough to eat. (not Many people doesn't)
We think of a sum of money, a period of time, a distance etc. as one thing. So we use a singular verb: • Twenty thousand pounds (= it) was stolen in the robbery. (not were stolen) • Three years (= it) is a long time to be without a job. (not Three years are) • Six miles is a long way to walk every day.
Ex. 1. In each example the words on the left are connected with an activity (for example, a sport or an academic subject). Write the name of the activity. The beginning of the word is given.
