Exercise 6. Read through the text and put the adjectives you find in the table. Use the words from the list and add more examples of your own.

All these languages come from word combinations that describe certain local variants of English. They developed as a means of communication between two or more language groups that do not share a common language. Although the names of these languages look similar, they are actually quite different. Some genuinely mix the languages, some alter between English and the other language, some are local dialects of English used by English speakers themselves, and some are just non-native pronunciations of English.

As a term for describing the Russian-English pidgin language, «Runglish» was popularised in the year 2000 when it was used as the language aboard the International Space Station. Although less widespread that other variants, Runglish is spoken in a number of English-Russian communities, most notably the Russian-speaking Jewish community of Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York.

Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 2010: Odyssey Two mentions a similarly named language, Russlish. The small subplot in Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 2010 involved the crew of a Russo-American spaceship, who attempted to battle their boredom with a so-called «Stamp Out Russlish!» campaign. As the story went, both crews were fully fluent in each other’s languages, to the point that they found themselves crossing over languages in mid-conversation, or even simply speaking the other language even when there was no one present who had it as their native tongue.

Use of «Russlish» in space has been realised to some extent on the International Space Station. Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalyov said in October of 2000: «We say jokingly that we communicate in «Runglish», a mixture of Russian and English languages, so that when we are short of words in one language we can use the other, because all the crew members speak both languages well.»

Exercise 7. Find examples of passive voice in the text. Write them in the table.

Teachers’ comments on the topic «Do you think English should be simplified and made easier to learn?» which they made on an Internet forum.

Antonio Benedict from Italy
In my view English should be taught at different levels, but not simplified. And besides, by changing the language, we are depriving the student of the read words. If the student is taught a simplified version of a language, how will he or she be able to understand authentic texts like poems, slang expressions, or lyrics? That is really no good for students!

Magda Szabo from Hungary
We call our planet «a global village» now which means that everything is gradually becoming one grey mass: our culture, our eating habits and even the way we think. I think this means that we should keep everything that is characteristic to us and out language in first place. We should guard our own mother tongue as a precious possession and use any second language just as a way to communicate with other global citizens.

Hector Kadmos from Greece
No language is easy to learn because they all have their own history and culture! And no language can be simplified just for the sake of easiness. By trying to make it easier, we might deform it and then, together with its complexity, much of its beauty would disappear! I think students should deal with the real language and all its complexity and be exposed to real-life language used by native speakers. This is the only way to teach learners how to manage in a real conversation.

Lea Hoffman from Germany
I know that doing business in English does not always require very good usage or even a complete understanding of the language. Why should we speak the way native speakers do when we can already understand each other? It is more important to be able to communicate and understand each other than it is to be grammatically correct. Sometimes students are taught old-fashioned phrases and vocabulary with subtle meanings and this makes it difficult for all users of English to understand each other! Students should be taught simpler English.

Peter Teller from the UK
I don’t think there is any use in simplifying a language: if we over-simplify the language we teach, it will become useless for real communication. On the other hand, if the language is too difficult to learn, not many people will be able to master it. I believe we should teach a foreign language in a manner close to how children start learning their mother tongue, and then gradually work towards the real-life language. We definitely should aim at reaching a «real» language level, otherwise there is no sense in learning it at all.

Cecylia Piastek from Poland
Why don’t we show some respect for the English language? Although English is a difficult language both to learn and to teach, it doesn’t mean that we have any right to change it just because we feel like it. How can we change something that doesn’t belong to us anyway? Should we simplify it only for the sake of convenience for us, non-native users? I don’t think that’s fair. Language is valuable heritage and heritage demands respect.

Muint Taine from Burma
I’m convinced that a simplified version of English should be taught. The simpler the language, the better the communication will be between people, for current and future generations who are part of today’s globalisation. English is no longer just a language used by native speakers; it is used by people all over the world, including young people who are increasingly trying to be part of the global community. I believe that if we can globalise English and use its more simplified version, we will be able to explore and better manage our planet.

Exercise 12. a) Match the opinions and the arguments for each of them.

A: I believe the best way to learn a foreign language is via the internet.

B: In my opinion, people can gain language proficiency only if they start learning it in their childhood.

C: There are lots of ways to learn a foreign language, but an immersion course is the most effective way.

Argument 1
Everyone knows that little kids are very perceptive, they acquire everything they hear and it sticks in their mind without any particular effort. Apart from that, they enjoy talking and don’t feel uncomfortable or ashamed when they make mistakes, which also enhances learning.

Argument 2
The main advantage is that you can practice the language whenever you have time. You don’t need to plan your lessons beforehand and you don’t need to go to the classroom. If you feel that you are able to allocate some time to studying, you can do it straight away.

Argument 3
Any language needs to be learned via communication, but lots of people are afraid of speaking because they don’t want to look funny or stupid. However, when nobody understands your native language, you have no choice. You have to practice to survive and it works very effectively.

Ответы:

Ответы:
Упражнение 12. b) Напишите эссе на тему «Лучший способ выучить английский». Следуйте плану.

(possible answer)
It is widely believed that learning of a foreign language is something rather simple. We can see a lot of advertisement that offer quick courses of foreign languages after finishing of which you would speak fluently any language you wish. If it is true, why then so humble number of people can really speak foreign languages?

From my point of view the only method of studying foreign language is not connected with modern methods such as internet communication or immersion courses. It correlates with the traditional way of learning foreign languages. I mean with a teacher. If you have a good teacher and a good textbook, the only thing you need then is your desire to learn the language, that is your motivation.

Of course there may be found several arguments against it. First of all it is the same number of people who have the real ability to speak foreign languages that I have already mentioned. We all start studying English at school but can hardly speak English after finishing. The point is that at school there is not much motivation among pupils, but when adults start studying English they make much progress as they understand clearly the reason why they should study it.

So I believe that the best way of studying English or the other foreign language is a traditional one. But the key point in this methodology is the students’ motivation. You should really want to learn a foreign language because only in this case you will be able to do it.
