Номер 2, страница 131, часть 2 - гдз по английскому языку 11 класс учебник Демченко, Бушуева

2. a. You are going to read two articles giving tips to those who would like to be involved in an overseas student exchange programme. Put the tips to the right article.

A. How to become a foreign exchange student

Being a foreign exchange student is a rewarding experience that will change your life as you broaden your outlook and learn more about other cultures. Still here are some helpful things to remember when setting out on this cultural adventure.

B. How to host an exchange student

Hosting a student is a life-changing experience that promotes a positive environment for cultural understanding. By hosting a student you open your eyes to things you never thought possible. Here are some helpful things to remember when setting out on this cultural adventure.

1. Talk about expectations and boundaries and establish reasonable ground rules. If your own children can't stay out after 10 p.m. on school nights, you should let your exchange student know that he / she has the same responsibilities (1).

2. Firstly, ask yourself what you want to undertake this step. If all you want to do is learn a certain foreign language, you could just sign up for a foreign language class. You must understand that being abroad has much more to do with culture and experience than just language skills. However, learning the language is also a very good benefit that the exchange experience can bring.

3. Learn about them. The sooner, the better. Get their e-mail address and you will be able to begin communicating with them before they arrive (2).

4. Look for people that have had this experience. Ask them why they decided to sign up for the programme and if their expectations were met, where and when they travelled and what the biggest benefits they got after the exchange programme conclusion were.

5. Different countries have different options open to high school and college students to study and live overseas. Think about which countries you would like to live in, but remember that ANY COUNTRY and ANY CULTURE is amazing. The exchange experience is not limited by countries. Be sure that any place can bring you an amazing experience.

6. Be polite and mind your manners. However, politeness and manners differ from culture to culture. Try to learn about the exchange student's culture beforehand. Discussing these differences in manner can be an important way to share knowledge of each other's cultures.

7. Choosing the programme will require some research and planning. Find out which options you would be fit for and what criteria they have for students, what the cost is and whether scholarships are possible. And don't worry, you can't fail if you take it seriously (3).

8. Spend time with them. Chances are they won't be able to visit you for a long time, if they do visit you again. Take them to the beach and teach them games that don't exist in their culture. Hosting an exchange student is something you will remember for the rest of your life, and hopefully you will remain lifelong friends.

9. Make them part of the family. If you have chores or simple tasks in your households, let them be part of it, too. Chores could include dishes, taking out the trash, or even walking the dog (4). Involve your student in the daily responsibilities of your home life and they will feel more like a family member than a visitor.

10. It's good if you can speak the language of the country you are going to (5). If you can't, learn at least the basic things of the language (6). Buy a dictionary of whatever country you are going to. It would help if you were able to locate a pen-friend from that country (7).

11. Be open to learning. Encourage your student to share their experiences and traditions with you, just as you are doing with them. The learning experience runs both ways – this is one of the most exciting things about being a host!

12. While you can't avoid experiencing culture shock as you immerse yourself in the new way of living and see differences everywhere, you can prepare and learn how to deal with it. Remember that culture shock is a learning experience that leads to broader perspective, more tolerance and greater appreciation of your new culture and your home culture.

b. Discuss the questions.

1. Who in your opinion wrote the articles: a marketing manager of an international travel agency or a high-school student who has had the experience?

2. Which tips were easy to predict?

3. Which piece(s) of advice seemed unexpected?

4. Which would you prefer: being an exchange student or playing host to an exchange student?

c. Add at least one more tip to each article.

2. a. Вы сейчас прочитаете две статьи с советами для тех, кто хотел бы принять участие в зарубежной программе по обмену студентами. Распределите советы по соответствующим статьям.
b. Обсудите вопросы.
c. Добавьте как минимум ещё по одному совету к каждой статье.

Ответ:

2. a.

2. b.

1. In my opinion, the articles were written by a marketing manager of an international travel agency. The tone is informative, well-structured, and covers both perspectives (student and host), which is typical for promotional material designed to encourage participation in their programs.

2. The most predictable tips were likely: for students, to learn the local language (10) and research programs (7); for hosts, to set clear rules (1) and to make the student feel like part of the family (9).

3. An unexpected piece of advice for a student might be to actively seek out others who have had the same experience (4). For a host family, the suggestion to get the student's email and start communicating before they arrive (3) is a proactive tip that might be unexpected.

4. I would prefer to be an exchange student. It seems like a life-changing opportunity for personal growth, to gain independence, and to immerse oneself completely in a new culture and language.

2. c.

One more tip for Article A (How to become a student): Manage your finances. Create a realistic budget before you leave, understand the local currency, and keep track of your spending to avoid financial stress.

One more tip for Article B (How to host a student): Prepare a welcome pack. Including a local map, public transport information, emergency contacts, and a few local snacks can help the student feel more comfortable and prepared during their first few days.

Перевод:

2. a.

2. b.

1. По моему мнению, статьи были написаны маркетинговым менеджером международного туристического агентства. Тон информативный, хорошо структурированный и охватывает обе точки зрения (студента и принимающей стороны), что типично для рекламных материалов, созданных для поощрения участия в их программах.

2. Наиболее предсказуемыми советами, вероятно, были: для студентов — изучать местный язык (10) и исследовать программы (7); для принимающих семей — установить четкие правила (1) и помочь студенту почувствовать себя частью семьи (9).

3. Неожиданным советом для студента мог бы стать совет активно искать других людей, у которых был такой же опыт (4). Для принимающей семьи неожиданным, но полезным предложением может быть заблаговременное получение электронной почты студента и начало общения до его приезда (3).

4. Я бы предпочел быть студентом по обмену. Это кажется возможностью, которая меняет жизнь, способствует личностному росту, обретению независимости и полному погружению в новую культуру и язык.

2. c.

Ещё один совет для Статьи A (Как стать студентом): Управляйте своими финансами. Составьте реалистичный бюджет перед отъездом, разберитесь в местной валюте и следите за своими расходами, чтобы избежать финансового стресса.

Ещё один совет для Статьи B (Как принять студента): Подготовьте приветственный набор. Включение местной карты, информации об общественном транспорте, контактов для экстренных случаев и нескольких местных закусок поможет студенту чувствовать себя более комфортно и подготовленно в первые несколько дней.
