1. Tasty, sweet and full of water
2. We have to do something
3. Vital for human life and health
4. Good for fun
5. They do a lot for our planet
6. Sometimes it means a problem
7. The advantages of bottled water
8. Water fact file

A. Water is essential for life on the Earth. All animals, plants and humans need water to survive. Water is made up of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. Its chemical formula is H2O. It has three different states, liquid, solid and gas, depending on the temperature. The earth works as a closed system and it rarely loses or gains extra matter. The same water that existed on the planet millions of years ago is still here today.

B. It is believed that 70 percent of an adult’s body is made up of water. Even the bones contain 31 percent of water. A person can live without food for about a month, but less than a week without water. Lack of water can be responsible for heart attacks, depression and fatigue. While the daily recommended amount of water is eight cups per day, not all of this water must be consumed in liquid form. Nearly all food or drink provides some water to the body.

C. The oceans cover over three quarters of our planet and hold 97 percent of the planet’s water. The three largest oceans on the Earth are the Pacific Ocean (the largest one), the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. The smallest is the Arctic Ocean. Due to the oceans, the Earth is a unique place and it looks wonderful from space. The oceans are also the lifeblood of the Earth. They produce more than half of the oxygen in the atmosphere, and absorb the carbon from it.

D. Water suitable for drinking is a major problem in poorer areas of the world. A lot of people do not have access to clean natural or bottled water and over 3 million people die every year from water related diseases. Pollution poisons the most important resource for our life. It’s high time we took steps to cut down the negative effects of water pollution. Some strict protection measures should be taken to stop turning the Earth into a ‘dirty blue planet’.

E. Water gives people the opportunity not only to live, but to work and relax too! People enjoy themselves at seaside resorts or on cruise trips. Water sports are a very popular recreational activity nowadays. These include swimming, surfing and waterskiing. Ice and snow are necessary for ice skating, ice hockey, skiing and snowboarding.

F. A watermelon contains about 6 percent of sugar and 92 percent of water. The high water content of watermelons makes them ideal as a refreshing summer food. They keep people healthy, their skin fresh, and they can clean the kidneys of toxins. There are more than 1200 kinds of watermelon that come in various weights, shapes, sizes and colours. Watermelons can be red, orange, yellow and even white.

G. Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions with the word water have unpleasant meanings. The old expression to be in hot water is one of them. Hot water was used five-hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. This certainly does not happen any more but when we are in hot water, we are in trouble, serious or not so serious.

A B C D E F G

ПОЯСНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ЗАПИСКА

Знание семантических особенностей лексических единиц и лексико-грамматических структур и умение использовать их в нужном контексте является важным условием для создания грамотного речевого высказывания на иностранном языке. Создание методической разработки продиктовано тем, что часто изучающие английский язык делают досадные ошибки в устной или письменной речи из-за незнания тонкостей в употреблении близких по значению слов или устойчивых словосочетаний, опираясь лишь на информацию, полученную из русско-английского словаря. Так, при переводе одного и того же слова с русского языка на английский в словаре предлагается несколько вариантов и требуется знать, какой из них следует использовать. Выбор нужного значения зависит от контекста, в котором употребляется интересующее нас слово,грамматических ограничений и требует знания особенностей употребления синонимичных слов и словосочетаний.

Учебно-методическая разработка предназначена для студентов всех специальностей и является дополнительным материалом к урокам английского языка.

Мы часто сталкиваемся с ситуациями, когда объектом действия становимся либо мы сами, либо наши вещи. Например, нам делают прическу, красят ногти или что-то чинят. Рассказать обо всех этих ситуациях на английском можно с помощью одного простого выражения – have something done.

Употребление конструкции have something done

Начнем с того, что рассмотрим два основных случая, при которых используется эта конструкция:

  1. Речь идет об услуге, которую вам оказали по просьбе или за деньги.

    Представьте, что вам сделали операцию в клинике. Она прошла успешно, вы остались довольны и теперь рассказываете об этом знакомому:

    I had my surgery done in a very good clinic. – Я сделала операцию в очень хорошей клинике.

    Had my surgery done указывает на то, что вы не сами себя прооперировали, а это сделал врач.

    She had her window repaired after the storm. – Она починила окно после грозы.

    Had her window repaired указывает на то, что она наняла кого-то, кто сделал это за нее.

  2. С вами случилось что-то плохое.

    She had her store robbed last night. – Ее магазин обокрали прошлым вечером.

    We had all our money stolen. – У нас украли все деньги.

    В разговорном английском вместо have возможно употребление глагола get.

    When will you get your hair done? – Когда тебе сделают прическу?

    I have to pay to get this program installed. – Я должен заплатить, чтобы мне установили эту программу.
