Задания по самостоятельной работе студентов (с ответами) учебной дисциплины ОГСЭ.03 «Иностранный язык» (английский) разработаны на основе Федерального государственного образовательного стандарта (далее – ФГОС) по программе подготовки специалистов среднего звена в соответствии с ФГОС специальности среднего профессионального образования (далее – СПО) 46.02.01 «Документационное обеспечения управления и архивоведение»

Задания по самостоятельной работе студентов (с ответами) содержат общие и единые требования к выполнению и оформлению лабораторных работ и практических занятий.

Организация-разработчик: Красноярский промышленный колледж – филиал Федерального государственного автономного образовательного учреждения высшего профессионального образования «Национальный исследовательский ядерный университет «МИФИ» (КПК НИЯУ МИФИ)

ПОЯСНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ЗАПИСКА

«Задания по самостоятельной работе студентов (с ответами)» составлены по «Book 1» — «Книге 1» «Secretarial» — «Делопроизводство» и соответствуют программе преподавания иностранного языка и календарно – тематическим планам учебной дисциплины ОГСЭ.03 «Иностранный язык (английский)».

Необходимость разработки данных заданий обусловлена специальностью групп, уровнем обучения иностранному языку и учебной литературой. Степень заинтересованности студентов в изучении английского языка — варьируется. Все студенты способны перевести слова, данные в начале каждого урока.

Студенты учат слова в зависимости от того, какую оценку хотят получить:

1/3 всех слов – на «3»,
2/3 слов на — «4»,
все слова – на «5».

То обстоятельство, что не все студенты способны овладеть одинаковым объёмом словарного запаса каждого урока, приводит к ошибкам на заключительном этапе. Здесь студентам предлагается перевести текст упражнения с русского языка на английский.

Перевод с русского на английский показывает уровень усвоения лексических единиц по каждой теме и подчиняется грамматическим правилам, как русского, так и английского языков. В английском языке – строгий порядок слов, а в русском – свободный. Кроме того, в английском предложении всегда должен быть глагол, а в русском предложении глагол часто отсутствует. Разные грамматические нормы двух языков делают перевод с русского языка на английский как самым трудным, так и наиболее интересным видом заданий.

В своей работе я использую раздаточный материал, позволяющий быстро и эффективно проверять допущенные каждым студентом ошибки. На разных этапах работы я предлагаю студентам ознакомиться с правильным вариантом выполнения задания. Например, студентам с более высоким уровнем обучения достаточно только взглянуть на образец, и продолжать работать самостоятельно.

Представленные на рассмотрение студентов раздаточные материалы демонстрируют также и допущенные ими орфографические ошибки. Кроме того, выданные на дом в качестве домашнего задания, тексты могут быть использованы для других видов работы. Это может быть: заучивание наизусть, перевод с английского на русский, построение в опросительных предложений разного типа, изменение предложений в активном (действительном) залоге на предложения в пассивном (страдательном) залоге, и наоборот.

Творческий подход подразумевает разработку собственных аналогичных заданий, что способствует закреплению материала на уровне понимания. В составе группы – студенты с начальным и средним уровнем изучения английского языка. Задания разработаны поэтапно, с учётом лексики и грамматики каждого семестра, со второго по четвёртый курс — включительно. Принцип «от простого – к сложному» и систематическое выполнение заданий способствуют пониманию и закреплению материала.

Задания подобраны с целью повторения всех грамматических тем аудиторных занятий и направлены на обогащение словарного запаса студентов профессиональными терминами с учётом выбранной ими специальности. Сборник ответов предоставляется студентам после самостоятельного выполнения ими конкретного задания с целью наглядности, а также – для возможности проведения сравнительного анализа правильных ответов с собственным результатом.

Choosing the right drill for the job

Most jobs can be done using a simple rotary
drill. It can be used for wood and plywood. It can also be used for
drywall, plaster, copper and steel. Of course, you need to have the
right drill bits too.

What about for harder materials like brick and
concrete? A hammer drill works well for blocks, brick, mortar and
stone. A rotary hammer works best for materials like concrete and
cement.

Sometimes the terms hammer drill and rotary
hammer are used to mean the same tool. However, a hammer drill
chips away at the material. A rotary hammer pounds away at it to
make a hole.

Exercises

1. Before you read the passage, talk about these
questions.

1. What are some materials electricians work
with on the job?

Fixing Underground Wires

Fixing underground wires sounds difficult. But
it’s actually simple. You just need to splice some wires.

To begin, switch off the electricity. Accidental
shocks are always a risk when working with electricity. Next, test
the electricity to make sure it is off. Push a button

on the same circuit. If it is safe, dig into the
ground. Inspect the wires, and find the damaged part. Cut it off.
Next, strip the insulation off the wires. Twist the ends of the
wires together. Then, pull on them to make sure they are joined. If
they are, bind the ends together with tape. After that, install I
waterproof insulation plastic covering on the wires. Then connect
the electricity.

Exercises

B to avoid getting shocked by the wires

C to make it easier to find the wires

D to check that the wires are connected

3. What is the last step in the instructions?

A strip the insulation from the wires

B inspect the underground wires

C install waterproof insulation

D turn on the electricity again

Match the words (1-4) with the definitions

Know Your Measurements

Fasteners and tools use imperial measurements or
metric, and knowing the difference is important. It prevents you
from rounding off a fastener, damaging tools, or causing injury. If
you don’t know an item’s size, use a micrometer or other caliper to
measure it. Check centimeters or millimeters for metric tools. Look
at inches for imperial tools.

You will also need to know larger measurements,
such as feet, yards, and meters. These measurements are often used
in building plans.

Temperature measurements are also important to
know. Some countries measure degress using the Fahrenheit scale and
others use the Celsius scale. You may need to convert from one
scale to the other.

Electrical safety

Although electricity is a part of everyday life,
it still has many hazards. Following a few simple safety rules can
save your life.

Electricity shocks people when their bodies
become part of an electrical path between

A live wire and the ground

Two live wires with opposite charges

Being shocked can cause serious burns. It can
also paralyze muscles.

Electrocution is also a major risk when working

Types of Wires

Read and translate the text.

There are many different types of electrical
wire and cable. Knob and tube (K& T) wiring is one of the oldest
types of wiring. Older types of cable are armored cable (AC) and
metal-clad (MC) cable. Both of these are insulated by steel. These
were replaced in newer construction by nonmetallic (NM) sheath
cable. However, replacement is not required if the wire or cable
jacket is still good. Check them to make sure there is no bare
conductor or wire showing. Underground feeder (UF) cable and
service entrance (SE) cable are used outdoors. However, SE cable is
only approved for above-ground use.

Reading Wire Codes

Wiring codes are complicated. Here are some tips
to make your job simpler.

1.Before installing any wire, read the gauge.
Each wire has a number embossed on its sheath. The number refers to
the diameter of the wire.

2.Know the rating for wire gauges. Wires with
larger numbers are lesser in diameter. So, zero, or ought gauge
wire has a bigger diameter than a 14 gauge.

3. Remember that different kinds of wires go in
different locations. An ‘H’ on a wire means the maximum amount of
heat it can stand is 165 Fahrenheit. A ‘W’ means you can put it in
a damp area. It is water resistant.
