Введение
Данная книга предназначена для изучающих английский язык на уровне A2. Её основная цель — развитие базового словарного запаса, формирование устойчивого понимания повседневных ситуаций и закрепление простых грамматических конструкций через чтение и практические задания.
Структура книги построена таким образом, чтобы каждая глава представляла собой самостоятельный учебный модуль. В каждой главе содержится текст (Story), написанный на английском языке и соответствующий уровню начинающих. Тексты описывают повседневные ситуации и ориентированы на практическое использование языка в реальных жизненных контекстах.
После каждого текста представлен раздел «Полезные слова и выражения», включающий лексические единицы, используемые в истории. Данный раздел направлен на расширение словарного запаса и облегчение понимания прочитанного материала.
Также в каждой главе предусмотрены упражнения, направленные на проверку понимания текста и закрепление лексики. Задания включают заполнение пропусков, вопросы с выбором ответа и открытые вопросы, требующие развернутого ответа на основе содержания текста.
Отдельно приводится раздел с ответами, предназначенный для самопроверки или использования в учебном процессе преподавателем.
Материалы книги разработаны с учетом принципов постепенного усложнения языкового материала и систематического повторения лексики. Книга может использоваться как для самостоятельного изучения, так и в рамках занятий с преподавателем.
Автор придерживался принципа функциональности языка и стремился к тому, чтобы каждый текст отражал практические ситуации, с которыми может столкнуться изучающий английский язык на базовом уровне.
A New Day Begins
Story
Anna wakes up at 7:00 in the morning. She does not like to get up early, but she has many things to do today. She turns off her alarm and sits in bed for a minute. Then she stands up and opens the window. The air is fresh, and the sun is shining.
Anna goes to the bathroom and washes her face. She brushes her teeth and looks in the mirror. She feels a little tired, but she is ready to start the day. After that, she goes to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Anna makes breakfast. She prepares a cup of tea and makes two eggs. She also takes some bread and butter. She sits at the table and eats slowly. While she eats, she thinks about her plans for the day.
After breakfast, Anna gets dressed. She chooses a simple outfit: a white shirt and black pants. Then she checks her bag. She puts her phone, keys, and a small notebook inside.
At 8:00, Anna leaves her apartment. She locks the door and walks outside. The street is quiet, and only a few people are there. She walks to the bus stop and waits for the bus.
When the bus arrives, Anna gets on and finds a seat near the window. She looks outside and watches the city. People are going to work, and shops are opening.
Anna feels calm and ready. It is a new day, and she wants to do her best.
