Робота над текстом за професійним спрямуванням.

Arts

One can distinguish two branches of human work: the arts and the sciences. The sciences require knowledge, observation, identification, description, experimentation and theoretical explanation.

The arts on the contrary require skill. That means the ability to work well with a part of his or her body. It is the combination of talent and technique. An artist is a man who can do something well with his own hands and tools. Some time ago everything that was made with tools was «artificial», not natural. The word «manufacture», for example, once meant «to make by hand»

Everything is a bit different nowadays. The word «art» has a special meaning. It means something beautiful. The paintings of skilled painters are appreciated and admired by millions of people today, by those who can see the beauty. Art comprises weaving rugs, tapestries, ceramic work. So there are a lot of types of art. Nevertheless one can trace basic principles in art. All kinds of it require the same characteristics. The separate parts of a work of art should be arranged in pattern. The form itself, a pleasing shape and balance are extremely important.

Art inspires the human spirit. Painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, weavers - they all contribute to a better life for us.

The Arts play a large role in the expression of inner thoughts and beauty in my life. From dance and music to abstract art our concept of life is shown through the various ways in which we interpret it. We use the Arts as a means of touching that part of us that we cannot reach with Physical Science, Social Science, or any of the Humanities. The arts allow us to be as specific or as abstract as we please. It helps us become closer to ourselves and to others around us. Though there has been a lot of confusion as to what the true definition of “good art” is, how we show others what is going on in our minds and inner souls cannot be judged, graded, criticized or revised by anyone other than ourselves.

The arts play a valued role in creating cultures and developing and documenting civilizations. The arts

teach us how to communicate through creative expression. Show us how to understand human experiences, past and present. Prepare us to adapt to and respect the ways others think, work, and express themselves. Music, singing, dancing, poetry, and sketching are just a few of the different forms of art that I use to express myself in a way that I enjoy.

Because each art discipline appeals to different senses and expresses itself through different media, each adds a special richness to the learning environment. Arts help people Learn to identify, appreciate, and participate in the traditional and non-traditional art forms of their own communities and the communities of others. Art teaches us how to be imaginative, creative, and reflective. Different art forms help us develop the verbal and nonverbal abilities necessary for lifelong learning. The intellectual demands of the arts help us develop problem-solving abilities and such powerful thinking skills as analyzing and evaluating. Numerous studies point toward a consistent and positive comparison between concrete education in the arts and student achievement in other subjects. A program in arts education would engage students in a process that helps them develop the self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation necessary for success in life. Most important, the arts should be experienced and studied for their own true value.

If art was not present in my life, I know that I would be missing so much. I would not be able to do the things that I love to do each day. The only way to express yourself is through art, and the presence of art in the lives of today’s society plays a big role. People listen to music every day, they dance, and sing. For many people’s art is a way of life, and without it they would be lost. Art is the only way to express one’s true feelings. Without art the world would be a dull and sad place. People would not be able to communicate in the same sense that art allows them to. Art shows people’s individualism. Without art wouldn’t we all be the same?

Ex.1. Read and translate the text. Prepare for a discussion.

Граматичний матеріал: The Past Perfect Tense.

Study this example situation: Sarah went to a party last week. Paul went to the party too, but they didn't see each other. Paul left the party at 10.30 and Sarah arrived at 11 o'clock. So: When Sarah arrived at the party, Paul wasn't there. He had gone home. Had gone is the past perfect (simple): I/we/they/you he/she/it had (= I'd etc.) (= he'd etc.) gone seen finished etc.

The past perfect simple is had + past participle (gone/seen/finished etc). Sometimes we talk about something that happened in the past: •    Sarah arrived at the party. This is the starting point of the story. Then, if we want to talk about things that happened before this time, we use the past perfect (had ...): •    When Sarah arrived at the party, Paul had already gone home. Some more examples: •    When we got home last night, we found that somebody had broken into the flat. •    Karen didn't want to go to the cinema with us because she'd already seen the film. •    At first I thought I'd done the right thing, but I soon realised that I'd made a big mistake. •    The man sitting next to me on the plane was very nervous. He hadn't flown before.      or    ... He had never flown before.

Compare the past simple (left, was etc.) and the past perfect (had left, had been etc.):

•     A: Was Tom there when vou arrived?       B: Yes, but he left soon afterwards.	•     A: Was Tom there when you arrived?       B: No, he had already left.
•    Kate at home when I phoned.      She was at her mother's house.	•     Kate had just got home when I phoned.       She had been at her mother's house.

Ex. 1. Read the situations and write sentences from the words in brackets. 1.You went to Sue's house, but she wasn't there.     (she / go / out)      She had gone out.      2. You went back to your home town after many years. It wasn't the same as before.     (it / change /a lot) ________________________ 3.  I invited Rachel to the party, but she couldn't come.     (she/ arrange / to do something else) ________________________ 4. You went to the cinema last night. You got to the cinema late.     (the film / already / begin) ________________________ 5. It was nice to see Dan again after such a long time.     (I / not / see / him for five years) ________________________ 6.  I offered Sue something to eat, but she wasn't hungry.     (she / just / have / breakfast) ________________________

Ex. 2. Put the verb into the correct form, past perfect (I had done) or past simple (I did).

1.'Was Paul at the party when you arrived?'   'No, he   had gone  (go) home.' 2. I felt very tired when I got home, so I ____________ (go) straight to bed. 3. The house was very quiet when I got home. Everybody ____________ (go) to bed. 4. Sorry I'm late. The car ____________ (break) down on my way here. 5. We were driving along the road when we ____________ (see) a car which ____________ (break) down, so we ____________ (stop) to help.
