Занятие 1. Туристические объекты Нижегородской области

1. Read the text «Types of tourism» and answer the questions:

Leisure tourism is also called pleasure tourism or holiday tourism. It is a type of tourism when a person goes on holiday and does not travel on business. Thus, the purpose of tourism in this case is recreation. Leisure travelers look for sun, sea and sand. They want to go sunbathing, swimming and diving. So this kind of travelers go to sea resorts or holiday camps and stay at resort hotels. Leisure travelers enjoy organized entertainment and sport. Holiday-makers normally travel with their families and children. More and more working people will have longer paid holidays and long weekends in future. More and more people will retire at an earlier age. It means that more and more people will travel for leisure in future.

Sports tourism is a type of active holiday. The purpose of a sporting tour is to exercise and to keep physically fit. At the same time travelers enjoy natural surroundings, fresh air and clean water. Travellers combine action and relaxation during a sporting holiday. Tourist companies offer hiking, cycling, boating, rafting and other kinds of sporting tours. Very often sporting tours require preparation and special training. First the tour instructors will plan the itinerary. Then they will train tourists how to use the sporting equipment. They will explain all the details of the route. Within sports tourism there is water tourism, mountain tourism, mountaineering, downhill skiing, horse riding and many more types. Sports tourism is popular with travelers all year round.

Business tourism is a travel for business purposes. Business travelers are businessmen and government officials. They travel on different missions. They often travel to attend a convention. Convention tourism is a part of business tourism. It involves taking part in a conference or a seminar. Business travelers often travel to attend an international exhibition or a trade fair. There are tourist companies that provide business

services. Those are fax, telex and telephone communications, secretarial services, answering service, business meeting arrangements. Business travel will develop faster than other types of tourism in future.

Familiarization tourism is often called just FAM tourism. It means that a business company sends its staff on educational tours to its branches or other business companies in other cities and countries. If a travel company sends its travel clerks on FAM tours, it means that they will have educational visits to a tourist destination. There they will get familiar with local facilities, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Normally a tour operator arranges FAM trips for the travel clerks from the travel agencies, selling its tourist products. The main purpose of travel clerks on a FAM tour is to get necessary knowledge from personal experience. When the travel clerks return home, they will know what to offer and what to explain to their customers about the destination. FAM tourism is very popular and will become even more popular in future.

Incentive tourism means that a business company offers holiday tours to its employees and covers all travel expenses. On the one hand, the company does it as a reward or a bonus to a person for his successful work. On the other hand, the company does it as an incentive for the future. The company hopes that the employee will work even better in future and bring profit to the company. This type of tourism is still a very small part of international tourism. Most probably this type of tourism won’t grow in future.

Занятие 2. Грамматические упражнения

Инфинитив и инфинитивные обороты

Инфинитив – это неличная или неопределенная форма глагола, которая отвечает на вопрос «что делать?», «что сделать?». Инфинитив называет только действие, не указывая лица, числа и наклонения.

I would love to come but I’m busy now. – Я бы хотел прийти, но я занят сейчас.

Отличительным признаком инфинитива является частица to, однако в некоторых случаях она может опускаться:

• после модальных глаголов can, could, must, may, might, will, shall, should, would и need (в значении модального). Исключения составляют модальные глаголы have to, ought to, be to. Но: если перечисленные глаголы feel, see, hear, watch, notice употреблены в пассивном залоге, то перед инфинитивом стоит частица to;

• в сложном дополнении после глаголов чувственного восприятия feel (чувствовать), hear (слышать), see(видеть), watch (наблюдать), notice (замечать);

• в сложном дополнении после глаголов make (в значении «заставлять, вынуждать») и let (в значении «разрешать, позволять»). Но если данные глаголы в пассивном залоге, то инфинитив употребляется с частицей to;

• после глагола help (помогать) инфинитив может употребляться и с частицей to, и без нее. Допустимы оба варианта, при этом вариант без to менее формален;

• после выражений had better (= ‘d better — лучше бы), would rather (= ‘d rather — предпочитаю, лучше бы);

• после Why, с которого начинается вопрос. Вопросы такого типа встречаются довольно редко, в них нет подлежащего, а есть только сказуемое, выраженное инфинитивом;

• если в предложении употребляется два инфинитива, которые соединены между собой при помощи and, or, except, but, than, as, то частица to перед вторым инфинитивом может опускаться.

В предложениях отрицательная частица not ставится перед инфинитивом, к которому относится: I will try not to be late. – Я постараюсь не опоздать.

Инфинитив в английском языке может принимать шесть временных форм.

	Активный залог	Пассивный залог
Simple (Indefinite)	to ask	to be asked
Progressive (Continuous)	to be asking	–
Perfect	to have asked	to have been asked
Perfect Progressive (Continuous)	to have been asking	–

Функции инфинитива

Инфинитив в предложении может выполнять различные функции:

• подлежащее 

To love and to be loved is the biggest happiness. – Любить и быть любимым – самое большое счастье.

• дополнение 

Chris asked me to help him with his homework. – Крис попросил меня помочь ему с домашним заданием.

• часть составного сказуемого 

The work will have been finished by 4p.m. tomorrow. – Работа будет окончена к 4 часам вечера завтра.

Занятие 3. Туристические объекты Нижнего Новгорода

1. Read the text and answer the questions

The city of Nizhniy Novgorod is the administrative centre of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and the Volga Federal District. It is known as an important industrial, commercial and cultural centre as well. It is one of the largest cities in Russia. Its population is 1 252 236 people.

It is situated at the confluence of two great Russian rivers – the Volga and the Oka. The city is administratively divided into 9 districts, but traditionally and geographically, it is divided into two parts - Nagornaya and Zarechnaya, locals simply call these “uptown” and “downtown” (verhnaya and nizhnyaya). 

Nizhny Novgorod is rather old. Over seven hundred years have passed since ancient tribes built a fortress on a high bank of the Oka River, where it joins the Volga. It has a rich historical past. The city was founded on 4 February 1221 by Prince Yuri.

Nizhny Novgorod is the birthplace of Kulibin, a self-taught mechanical engineer, Lobachevsky, a mathematician, Melnikov-Pechorsky and M.Gorky, the writers. In 1932 the town was renamed Gorky, in honour and memory of the Great Russian writer, and in 1991 it got the name of Nizhny Novgorod again. Many outstanding and famous people were born or lived here among whom one can find the names of Russian writers, composers and artists, such as Balakirev, Shalyapin, Korolenko and many others.

The best way to see the sights of Nizhniy Novgorod is to go to Minin Square which is situated in the centre of the city.  In 1612 K. Minin and D. Pozharsky organized here people’s volunteer troops and made our Motherland free from Polish invaders.  In the middle of the square there is a monument to Kozma Minin, our national hero.

In front of it there is the Kremlin – an ancient Russian fortress. Now it is used as a museum. Inside the Kremlin you can admire a fine specimen of Russian architecture – Archangelskiy Cathedral. Minin is buried in it.

In the past Nizhny Novgorod was an important commercial centre and the city of powerful merchant families. In 1817 the famous trade fair moved to Nizhny Novgorod and made it internationally known as “a pocket of Russia”. All Russian Trade Fair was held in Nizhny Novgorod for many years.

The business heart of Nizhniy Novgorod is Big Pokrovskaya Street in which the main banks, shops and offices are concentrated. This place is always overcrowded and noisy. It is always full of people. A lot of old and magnificent buildings are to be found here.

Nizhny Novgorod is well-known as a great industrial and transport centre of our country. There are many big factories in it. It is famous for the Automobile plant that produces cars and trucks. Shipbuilding is also developed in the city, a lot of ships for the Volga and other rivers are built in the Sormovo Plant which produces river and sea boats.

In Nizhny Novgorod railroads, waterways and airlines meet. In 1985 a regular Metro traffic was added to this transport network.

There are many theatres: the opera House, the Drama Theatre, the Puppet show, the Theatre of Young spectators, the Theatre of Comedy. You can also visit a lot of museums, the Art Gallery, cinemas and libraries.

There are a lot of magnificent buildings, historical monuments, wonderful parks, squares and gardens in it. It has quite a number of churches and cathedrals, many of which have been restored lately. The guest of our city enjoy walking along the High-Volga Embankment from which they can get a beautiful view over the Volga, the river port and many sights as well.

Занятие 5. Туристические объекты Санкт-Петербурга

Saint Petersburg is Russia's pearl on the Baltic Sea. The city is situated on the Neva River and has become the “window” to Europe. It was along the banks of the Neva, stretching within the city for about 24 miles. The Neva is a “cradle” of St. Petersburg.

Saint-Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great in 1703. In the mouth of the Neva River on a small island called Hare Island stands the Saint Peter and Paul Fortress.

The Russian version of the name consist of different languages: its first part is from the Latin word “saint”, followed by the Apostle’s name, Peter, which means “rock” in Greek, and “burg”, a city in German or Dutch.

St. Petersburg was built by the prominent European and Russian architects. St. Petersburg was the capital of Russia from 1712 till 1918. The city had 3 official names: Saint-Petersburg, Petrograd, Leningrad and again Saint-Petersburg. Besides the city has got a lot of unofficial ones. It was named Paradise - Petropolis - Rome of the North - Venice of the North.

St. Petersburg is an industrial, cultural and scientific center in Russia. There are about 80 museums, 20 theatres, exhibition halls, clubs, universities, many colleges, schools, libraries and parks. The Pushkin Drama Theatre, Gorky Drama Theatre, the Mariinsky Theatre of Opera and Ballet are the pearls of Russian arts. In the city there are a lot of parks and gardens where the residents and guests spend their free time.

The Peter and Paul Fortress was built to protect the Neva banks from Swedish invasion. Later D. Trezzini, the famous Swiss architect, reconstructed the fortress. It became a prison, it served as a burial place of the Russian Emperors and members of the royal family (there are 32 tombs), now it’s a museum and one of masterpieces of architecture. Russian tsars were buried in it.

The Summer Garden is the oldest and most fascinating park. Rare trees, bushes and species of flowers grow there. It’s decorated by beautiful marble statues of Italian sculptors and a cast iron grille. The 89 statues put on display in the garden nowadays.

In St. Petersburg tourists usually start sightseeing from Palace Square, the largest and most beautiful. One can’t help admiring the ensemble in Palace Square: the Winter Palace (built by Rastrelli) was the residence of Russian tsars till the revolution. The Hermitage, one of the oldest art museums in Russia, occupies the Winter Palace and four other buildings. There one can see masterpieces of the outstanding artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rembrandt, Velazquez and other unique work of arts.

The Russian museum is located in the Mikhailovsky Palace, designed by Rossi. Marvelous paintings of the famous Russian artists: Tropinin, Repin, Bryulov, Fedotov, Surikov, Serov, the works of sculptors: Rastrelli, Shubin, Antokolsky are exhibited there.

The streets and squares in the city are very beautiful. Nevsky Prospect is the main street, where there are amazing buildings, shops, hotels and the remarkable Kazan Cathedral (by Voronikhin) with a colonnade and monuments to M. Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly. Here in the prospect one can see the magnificent building of Admiralty (by Zakharov) and an ensemble of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Famous Russain writers, painters, composers and actors were buried in the Lavra.

The majestic palaces, cathedrals, churches and other buildings decorate St. Petersburg: palaces of Stroganov, Vorontsov, Menshikov, Anichkov, the Triumphal Arch and St. Isaacs Cathedral, created by Montferrand.

One cannot forget to mention the Smolny Institute and Smolny nunnery, masterpieces of Rastrelli. Girls from aristocratic families studied and lived in the institute.

A lot of bridges cross the Neva, the Fontanka, the Moika and the canals, but the Anichkov Bridge is the most beautiful one. It is 54.6 meters long and 38 meters wide.

St. Petersburg inspired many of our great poets, writers, painters, sculptors, composers and actors. Much of the life and work of Lermontov, Griboyedov, Pushkin, Belinsky, Glinka, Tchaikovsky, and Raping was connected with the city.

who — кто (для живых существ: людей, животных, птиц и т. д.)

what — что (для неживых предметов: растения, вещи, природа и т. д.)

Для построения такого вопроса, мы берем утвердительное предложение и вместо действующего лица на первое место ставим who/what.

Например:

Who goes to college every day?

What was broken?

What makes me happy?

Who is fixing the computer?

1. Read the text:

There is no need to rack one’s brains about outings in Moscow as it has a lot of world-famous theatres and galleries, amusement parks and estate museums.

Let us start getting acquainted with the Moscow city with its theatres. The most famous of them are the Bolshoi and Maly Theatres. The Bolshoi Theatre is one of the most renowned theatres in the world. It is located in the heart of Moscow in Theatre Square. The performances of ballet and opera are held there. The Bolshoi Theatre was founded in 1776. Since then more than 800 productions have been staged there. A lot of artists who work in the Bolshoi Theatre are awarded honorary titles. From 2005 to 2011 the theatre was closed for reconstruction. One more popular theatre, Moscow Art Theatre (the MkhAT), is just round the corner. Altogether in Moscow there are about ninety theatres, where you can find performances to every taste from classical to modern ones.

Also in Moscow there are more than seventy museums and a lot of exhibitions of all kinds. As for the galleries, any foreigner is sure to know the most popular gallery in Moscow. It is the Tretyakov Gallery, which is the center of Russian cultural life. The State Tretyakov Gallery is one of the largest depositaries of Russian fine art in the world. It was founded in 1856 by Pavel Tretyakov, a Moscow merchant. At first the gallery was located in a mansion owned by the Tretyakov family but with the growth of the collection new extensions were added to the mansion. During the Great Patriotic War, the collection was conveyed to Novosibirsk and in May 1945 returned to Moscow.

Also the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the Shilov Gallery are definitely worth visiting because there you will enjoy not only paintings by brilliant artists but also a collections of different artifacts, sculpture and other valuable historic pieces.

Red Square is one of the most famous Russia's places of interest. It is located right in the heart of Moscow. Many significant buildings surround Red Square. There is the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum, Saint Basil's Cathedral, GUM trading house and Kazan Cathedral there. The State Historical Museum is also located in the square. Red Square is the place where a lot of festivals are celebrated.

The Kremlin is a fortified complex in the centre of Moscow. It is the main political and historical place of the city. The walls of the Kremlin are made in the form of an irregular triangle. The Troitskaya Tower is the tallest tower of the Kremlin. Its height is 80 metres. The Spasskaya Tower features the clock which is known as the Kremlin chimes. The Kremlin has 20 towers in total. Today the Kremlin is the official residence of the President of Russia.

Saint Basil's Cathedral is located in Red Square. This Orthodox church is a world-famous landmark. The church was built in the XVI century by order of Ivan the Terrible. There are 11 domes in Saint Basil's Cathedral. Its height is 65 metres. In the XX century the church was open for public as a museum. It is one of the most recognizable tourist attractions. Saint Basil's Cathedral is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Tastes differ, you know. But in summer Moscow’s shady amusement parks are waiting for everybody. The most popular of them are Gorky Park, Sokolniky Park and Ismailovsky Park, to say nothing of the great estate museums such as Tsaritsino, Kolomenskoye or Kuskovo. They may not be at the top of the list of Moscow entertainment, but promise great enjoyment for a person of any age and background.

All in all, the Moscow’s places of public entertainment are so different that you will never be bored. Everybody will find where to go out, the only problem is what to choose: more real or more commercial. To my mind, it just depends on the money you are going to spend.

Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison from 1100 until 1952, although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence.
