УРОК 1

 

FOREIGN LANGUAGES in the LIFE of MODERN PEOPLE

 

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст. Подготовьте чтение фрагмента, выделенного в рамке, вслух.


      
In the modern world it is difficult to imagine an educated person who doesn’t know any foreign language. It is especially important nowadays. Knowledge of a foreign language helps us to develop friendship and understanding among people.

The total number of languages in the world is about five thousand. And English, of course, is one of the most popular languages. It is the language of science, business, tourism, sport and politics. English is the mother tongue in Great Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is one of six official languages of the United Nations Organization.  A lot of people speak English in Scandinavia, Japan [ʤə'pæn], China, India, Africa and many other countries.

Children, young people and grownups study English at schools, colleges, universities and at different preparatory courses. Some people learn English because they need it in their work, others travel abroad, for the third studying English is a hobby. Every year thousands of people go from one country to another either on business or for pleasure. And the knowledge of languages opens the door to any foreign country and gives them a possibility to communicate and to understand people.

     A modern engineer or even a worker deals with instruments and machines from other countries. He has to read the instruction which is usually written in English. A real professional cannot do without knowledge of English, as it is an international language.
 If you want to be a stewardess
['stjuːədəs], a pilot or a businessman you must learn English, the language of international communication. Even a shop-girl in a big department store, a waitress in a restaurant or

an official of a hotel must know at least some phrases in English to understand a foreign customer.
  You don’t need to know Japanese when you go to Japan or Hindi when you visit India. English is practically spoken all over the world. You can hear it everywhere: in a street, in shops, at restaurants. Scientists must understand English well because they use foreign literature to write their articles and books. They must speak English fluently to make speeches at international conferences. Diplomats need foreign languages in their work too. They make contracts, conclude treaties, hold negotiations.
   Foreign languages develop our mind. They help us to get acquainted with new customs and traditions, make it possible to read many books in the original. Besides languages are very helpful in establishing friendly relations between peoples and nations. Children and young people will understand each other better if they speak one language. That’s why all the pupils should master English or other foreign languages to become top specialists.

УРОК 2

 

 

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

 

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст. Подготовьте чтение фрагмента, выделенного в рамке, вслух.

 

     The word “science” comes from the Latin word “scientia” which means “knowledge”. Science covers the broad field of knowledge that deals with facts and relationships among these facts.

     Scientists study a wide variety of subjects. Some scientists search for clues to the origin of the universe and examine the structure of the cells of plants and animals. Other researchers investigate why we act the way we do or try to solve complicated mathematical problems. 

Scientists use systematic methods of study to make observations and collect facts. They develop theories that help them order and unify facts. Scientific theories consist of general principles or laws that attempt to explain how and why something happens or has happened. A theory becomes a part of scientific knowledge if it has been tested experimentally and proved to be true.

     Scientific study can be divided into three major groups: natural, social, and technical sciences. As scientific knowledge has grown and become more complicated, many new fields of science have appeared. At the same time, the boundaries between scientific fields have become less clear. Numerous areas of science overlap and it is often hard to tell where one science ends and other begins. All sciences are closely interconnected.

     Science has great influence on our lives. It provides the basis of modern technology — the tools and machines that make our life and work easier. The discoveries and inventions made by scientists also help shape our view about ourselves and our place in the universe.

     Technology means the use of people’s inventions and discoveries to satisfy their needs. Since people appeared on the earth, they had to get food, clothes, and shelter. Through the ages, people invented tools, machines, and materials to make work easier. Nowadays, when people speak of technology, they generally mean industrial technology. Industrial technology began to develop about 200 years ago with the invention of the steam engine, the growth of factories, and the mass production of goods. It influenced different aspects of people’s lives. The development of the car influenced the way people lived and worked. Radio and television changed their leisure time. The telephone revolutionized communication.

     Science has contributed much to modern technology. Science attempts to explain how and why things happen. Technology makes things happen. But not all technology is based on science. For example, people had made different objects from iron for centuries before they learnt the structure of the metal. But some modern technologies, such as nuclear power production and space travel, depend heavily on science.

Alexander Graham Bell

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст.

 

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on March 3, 1847. Both his father and his grandfather were experts on how people speak. After finishing university, Bell worked with his father. He taught deaf people how to speak and studied the sounds people make when they talk.

In 1870, Bell and his family moved to Brantford, Ontario [ɔn'teərɪəu].

 In 1871, he moved to Boston to teach at the first-ever school for the deaf.

 In 1873, he became a professor at Boston University. There, he taught deaf people and encouraged others to become teachers of the deaf.

From 1873 to 1876, Bell developed several devices for sending sounds through electric wires. One of these was an early form of the telephone. Bell thought up the idea for the telephone and Thomas Watson built it.  On June 2, 1875, Bell and Watson sent and received a musical note.

On March 7, 1876, Bell was granted a patent for the telephone. The first sentence “Watson, come here. I want you” was sent three days later. Bell showed his new invention at a scientific convention in May 1876 and at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in June. It caused great excitement.

 In October 1876, Bell talked to Watson on the device and Watson answered him.

In 1877, a telephone was put into a private home, a long-distance conversation was carried over telegraph wires, and the Bell Telephone Company was formed. Bell also demonstrated the telephone in England and France.

In 1884, Bell Telephone built the first long-distance line. Soon, others were built and put into service. 

For many years, other people said the idea for a telephone was theirs, but the courts and many scientists and researchers supported Bell’s work.

 His invention led to the invention of many other types of communication devices.

Bell also invented the gramophone record player and experimented in many other areas, including sheep breeding and aviation.

He died in 1922.

Thomas Edison

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст.

 

   Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb, the modern telephone, and motion pictures.

Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. He was taught at home by his mother, a former teacher. At 15, he became a telegraph operator. In 1868, he moved to Boston to work for the Western Union Telegraph Company.

   About 1864, Edison invented an automatic telegraph repeater, his first invention. His first patent was for an electric vote recorder. By 1869, he was a partner in a New York electrical firm. He used the money he made in that business to buy a factory in New Jersey. He then hired several scientists to invent or improve on many products, including the typewriter. This business was very successful and he became wealthy. He sold the factory in 1875. Edison made many improvements to the telegraph, which he then applied to the telephone to make it more usable. In 1876, he set up another factory in New Jersey and hired scientists to work on new inventions under his direction.

   From 1877 to 1931, Edison and his team of scientists made many discoveries. In 1877, Edison invented the phonograph, which made him a great deal of money. In 1878, he began working on an electric light bulb. The Edison Electric Light Company was soon mass producing these lights. He also came up with ways to generate and distribute the electricity to power these light bulbs.

   In 1895, Edison improved the motion picture projector, and the Edison Company eventually produced more than 1,700 motion pictures. During the First World War, he contributed 45 new inventions to the war effort, including an underwater searchlight and a ship-telephone system.

   In his lifetime, Edison took out over 1,000 patents on his inventions. He slept only four hours a night and often worked for two or three days without stopping. He died on October 18, 1931, in West Orange, New Jersey.  Edison’s laboratory buildings and equipment have been preserved.

TECHNITIAN CAREERS

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст. Подготовьте чтение любого фрагмента из текста вслух.

 

Technician qualifications and careers cover a wide range of skills, abilities, and industries. They offer a mix of theory and practice, and also include work experience. Here, we will look at some of the technician careers that are the most popular.

- Automotive technicians service and repair vehicles. They diagnose ['daɪəgnəuz] faults in vehicles, and work out what causes them, dismantle engines, parts or systems requiring attention, rebuild, repair or replace any faulty parts or systems. Automotive technicians need to have knowledge of vehicle engines and electronic systems.

Electrical technicians install, maintain and repair electrical systems and equipment. They install, repair or replace electrical wiring, study and interpret wiring diagrams, test electrical work for safety. Electrical technicians need to have knowledge of electrical theory, basic mathematics and physics, safety procedures and first aid. They may work on buildings that are under construction, at power stations, substations and other places where high voltage equipment is used.

Survey technicians measure and study the land under the direction of a land surveyor or engineer. They take measurements using survey equipment, process data and make calculations gathered from fieldwork and surveys, record measurements, and collect other data about the land, interpret plans for the land use, prepare reports, supervise the work of survey assistants. Survey technicians need to have knowledge of surveying methods, the ability to interpret drawings and read maps; they should know how to use survey equipment such as theodolites, have skills using computer-aided design (CAD), software and good mathematical knowledge, particularly in trigonometry[ˌtrɪgə'nɔmɪtrɪ].

How to Write a CV

 

     A company you want to apply to has asked you to send in a CV and you’re thinking, “wait, what?” Don’t worry! Curriculum Vitae (CV) means “course of life” in Latin, and that is just what it is. A CV is a document which summarizes your professional skills, proficiency and experiences. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills to do the job for which you are applying. Literally you are selling your talents, skills, proficiencies.

     An excellent CV may help you get the job of your dreams and a poor CV may mean a lost opportunity. Since this is the first piece of information a company will receive about you, it is very important that your CV be well-written.

    

Most CVs include your personal information, your education and qualifications, your work experience, your interests and achievements, your skills, and references. Also experienced people tailor the resume to the job they are applying for. However, there is no set format for a CV, what you include is up to you.

     The CV begins with PERSONAL INFORMATION, name, address, telephone number etc.

     Then you should describe your EDUCATION. List the universities, institutes and colleges you have attended in reverse chronological order. If you graduated with honours, you should definitely include this.

      Your working EXPERIENCE is the next section. This is the section in which you should list all of your relevant work experience. List the name of the company, the location of the company, the years you worked there, and what you did. Start with your most recent job and work backwards. If you have a long list of work experience, only put the experiences relevant to the job you are applying for. Of course, you should list your special SKILLS. These skills often include computing skills (are you a wiz at Wordpress? Excel? In Design? etc), languages you speak, or specific things the company is looking for, such as targeted skills.

     INTERESTS should be included in the next section.  Unique interests or hobbies will make you stand out. Be aware of the conclusions that might be drawn from your hobbies. Try to list hobbies that portray you as a team-oriented individual rather than as a solitary, passive person. Companies want someone who

works well with others.

     The last section of your resume is the REFERENCE. Give at least two people who can describe your qualification for the job. Their names, titles, places of work, and telephone numbers should be included. Of course, you can always write “Available upon request.”

CV will not get you a job. An interview with a company will get you a job. But in order to have the opportunity of interviewing with a company you should write a perfect resume.

УРОК 6

 

Mining and Geological Higher Education in Russia

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст. Подготовьте чтение фрагмента, выделенного в рамке, вслух.

In Russia young people get mining education at special institutes which train geologists and mining engineers for coal and ore min­ing. The total number of students of an institute includes full-time students, part-time students and postgraduate students.

Russian higher educational establishments offer different spe­cializations for the students. Thus, at the geological institutes, the students specialize in geology, the science which deals with differ­ent problems connected with the Earth, its history, the study of rocks, their physical and chemical properties. One of the main tasks of geology is to prospect, discover and study the deposits of useful minerals.

Geology is both a theoretical and an applied science. Mining ge­ology is of great importance to the mining engineer. As a rule, min­ing geology includes economic geology.

The outstanding Russian geologist V.A. Obruchev says that geol­ogy is the science of the Earth which reveals to us how the Earth took shape, its composition and its changes. Geology helps prospect for ores, coal, oil, salt and other useful minerals.

Higher mining schools (universities, academies, institutes and colleges) develop a wide range of courses and programmes that meet the requirements of the society .They offer courses in mining tech­nology, machinery and transport, hydraulic engineering, electrical engineering, industrial electronics, automation, surveying, geodesy, information technology, etc.         

Computer science is also of great importance. The course aims at providing students with understanding how software and hardware technology helps solving problems.

Laboratory work is an important part in training specialists. Ex­periments in laboratories and workshops will help students to de­velop their practical skills. They have a short period of field work to gain working experience.

The students go through practical training at mines, plants and other industrial enterprises. They become familiar with all stages of production and every job from worker to engineer. Here they get practical knowledge and experience necessary for their diploma (graduation) papers.

A lot of students belong to students' scientific groups. They take part in the research projects which their departments usually con­duct. Postgraduates carry out research in different fields of science and engineering.

Sport centres give the students opportunities to play different sports such as tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, skiing, water polo, boxing, wrestling and others.

Students graduate from mining and geological higher schools as mining engineers, mining mechanical engineers, ecologists, mining electrical engineers, geologists, economists and managers for mining industry.

А. Р. KARPINSKY (1847–1936)

 

 V. A. Obruchev, I. M. Gubkin, A. Y. Fersman, V. I. Vernadsky and A. P. Karpinsky were the prominent Russian scientists who laid the foundation of the Russian school of geology and mining.

An entire epoch ['iːpɔk] in the history of Russian geology is connected with Karpinsky’s name. One of the greatest Russian geologists, he was a member and for some time President of the Academy of Sciences of the former USSR and a member of several Academies abroad. The Geological Society of London elected him a foreign member in 1901. His greatest contribution to geology was a new detailed geological map of the European part of Russia and the Urals['jʊ(ə)rəlz]. 

For many years, he headed the Russian Geological Committee [kə'mɪtɪ]  the sta of which was made up of 2 his pupils. He was one of those geologists who embraced the whole of geological science. He created the new stratigraphy [strə'tɪgrəfɪ] of Russia. He studied the geological systems in various regions of the country and was the rst to establish the regularity of the Earth’s crust movement. His paleontological studies are of no less importance, especially those on Paleozoic ammonoids. He also took an interest in  deposits of useful minerals and gave a classication of volcanic rocks. He advanced the view that petroleum deposits existed in Russia, which was conrmed later. He studied some ore and platinum deposits and may be justly considered the founder of practical geology of the Urals. He was the rst Russian scientist who introduced microscope in the study of petrography slides.

Karpinsky was a prominent scientist, an excellent man and citizen. He was one of the best lecturers at the Mining Institute in his time. He was also one of the greatest Russian scientists who later became the rst elected President of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Students were attracted to him not only because he was a great scientist but also because of his charming personality and gentle manner.
     Every geologist and every geology student knows very well Karpinsky’s most significant work An Outline of the Physical and Geographical Conditions in European Russia in Past Geological Periods.

А. М. TERPIGOREV (1873–1959)

 

   Academician A. M. Terpigorev is a well-known mining engineer who successfully combined his practical experience with scientic research. He was born in 1873 in Tambov. In 1892, he nished school with honours and decided to get a higher education. He chose the Mining Institute in St Petersburg, passed all the entrance examinations successfully and became a student of the Mining Institute.

At the Institute, he studied the full range of subjects relating to metallurgy, mining and mining mechanics.

    At that time, students’ specialization was based on descriptivecourses and elementary practical training. One of the best lecturers was A. P. Karpinsky. His lectures on historical geology were very popular.

    During his practical training, Terpigorev visited mines and saw that the miners’ work was very difficult. While he was working in the Donbass, he collected material for his graduation paper, which he soon defended. The mining of flat seams in the Donbass was care-

fully studied and described in it.

    In 1897, Terpigorev graduated from the Institute with a first-class diploma of a mining engineer.

    His first job as a mining engineer was at the Sulin mines where he worked for more than three years first as Assistant Manager and later as Manager.

    From 1900 till 1922, Terpigorev worked at Yekaterinoslav Mining Institute (now the Mining Institute in Dnepropetrovsk).

    In 1922, he accepted an offer to take charge of the mining chair at Moscow Mining Academy and moved to Moscow. From 1930, he headed the chairs of Mining Transport and Mining of Bedded Deposits at Moscow Mining Institute.

    Academician Terpigorev took a particular interest in mine safety. As a result of his investigations a series of safety measures in gassy collieries was worked out. For some time, he was working on the problem of fire damp, the most harmful and dangerous of all the gases in

mines.

    His two-volume work Coal Mining and Mine Transport Facilities is a full description of the state of mechanization and the economy of the Donbass. His other works are about mining transport facilities, mechanization of coal mining and mining machinery. He is one of the pioneers in scientific methods of coal gasification.

We mine coal that generates electricity for homes and businesses, and we mine for metals, as well. They become steel for manufacturing and construction. But that's not all. We also improve agriculture. Many minerals make excellent fertilizers. So Jackson Mining even helps farmers. Finally, we improve people’s lives. We mine for many precious stones and precious metals. Those products become valued gifts and important components of electrical circuits. So remember, you’re not just mining. You're improving the world.

УРОК 9

 

THE URALS – THE CENRE OF THE RUSSIAN METAL INDUSTRY

 

1.      Прочитайте и переведите текст.

 

The Urals — a borderline between Europe and Asia — are a mountain chain which appeared many years ago as a result of tectonic activity. As time went on, the mountains were being destroyed by the action of water, sun and air. As a result, the highest mountains are only one thousand metres high. One more consequence is that the greatest deposits of ores came to the surface of the Earth. The fact that they were easily accessible stimulated the development of plants.

The Ural mining industry began during the time of Peter the Great. In the 18th century, the Urals, with their high quality ores and rich forests (a fuel for plants), played the greatest role in the world industry. Russia exported metal even to Great Britain.

The modernization of the Ural industry began with Magnitogorsk plant, built near the mountain Magnitnaya, rich in metallic ores. Later, many engineering plants were built in the region. The greatest plants are situated in Magnitogorsk, Nizhniy Tagil, Chelyabinsk and Novotroitsk.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ural metal industry suffered a crisis because of the shortage of coal. But the delivery of coal from Kuzbass solved the problem.

It must be mentioned that about 70 metals and minerals were first discovered in the Ural mountains. Large deposits of iron, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, titanium, wolfram and many other metals characterize the region.

Nowadays some of the deposits are exhausted, and the plants work on the ores from new layers (Kazakhstan, Siberia). But nevertheless, the Urals are the region with great history, traditions and experience, and hopefully it will have new stages of development.
