    familiarizeze pe cel ce ascult cu dialogurile, cu partenerul de conversaie, cu pronunia.

    Partea intitulat Ascultai cu atenie se refer la caseta nr. 4, care conine unele dialoguri sau reportaje n care snt folosite vocabule i structuri nenvate nc n lecii.

    Ghidul de conversaie alturat este un ndrumar practic, n format de buzunar, uor de luat cu sine.

    STRUCTURA MANUALULUI

    n fiecare din capitole gsii urmtoarele seciuni: Dialoguri Dialogues Cum se spune How to say it Exerciii Exercises i, cu capitolul Ascultai cu atenie Listen to this

  • Dialoguri Dialogues Cuprind exemple de limb vorbit n forma unor scurte Fiecare

    dialog este un model pentru cum se vorbete engleza n situaii concrete. Astfel de exemplu ntr-unui din capitole cum ntrebi pentru a afla drumul corect sau n altul cum se vorbete despre hobby-uri i interese comune. n prima coloan gsii traducerea n limba romn a dialogurilor. Cu acestei traduceri putei fi mereu siguri c ai neles totul corect. La dialogurilor exist, acolo unde este cazul, probleme de gramatic.

    2. Cum se spune How to say it n aceast seciune a fiecrui capitol expresiile tipice, cele mai

    importante pe care trebuie s le nvai pentru a putea transpune n englez situaii asemntoare cu cele ntlnite n dialoguri. In principiu, aceste expresii snt prezentate sub form de tabel. Cu ajutorul acestor tabele putei s recunoatei uor cum un model de construcie sintactic poate s difere din punct de vedere al coninutului. De asemenea, vei ntlni i probleme de gramatic.

    3. Exerciii Exercises n cadrul fiecrui capitol ntlnii o serie de exerciii. Cu ajutorul lor putei

    s folosii structurile nvate n capitol, mai cursiv i mai sigur. (Rezolvrile exerciiilor le gsii pe casete). Casetele conin convorbiri incomplete pentru a v da posibilitatea s preluai o parte a dialogului. Sntei astfel invitai s conversai direct pe caset cu partenerul de dialog i putei n felul acesta s simulai o convorbire aproape autentic, iar apoi, cu ajutorul rezolvrilor de la cursului, s verificai dac ai vorbit corect.

    4. Ascultai cu atenie Listen to this Caseta nr. 5 conine o serie de exerciii de relatri scenete.

    Aceste exerciii snt n aa fel concepute nct s conin cuvinte, expresii, structuri pe care nu le-ai nvat din manual. Trebuie s v obinuii ncetul cu ncetul c ntr-o convorbire cu un englez sau ntr-o emisiune de televiziune ori de radio limbajul nu este cu grij ales ca n exerciiile sau dialogurile din curs. Cu ajutorul acestei casete v exersai capacitatea de a nelege un coninut chiar dac nu cunoatei fiecare cuvnt n parte.

    GHIDUL DE CONVERSAIE

    Este ataat cursului i cuprinde principalele expresii i cuvinte care snt necesare cnd ntreprinzi o cltorie. Este un ndrumar n form de ghid de buzunar pe care l putei avea oricnd cu dumneavoastr.

    CUM FOLOSII MANUALUL?

    n primul rnd, ascultai dialogurile de pe casete pentru a v putea concentra asupra textului englez, fr a v folosi de manual. La a doua ascultare, citii din manual textele dialogurilor. De ori simii nevoia, apsai

  • pe butonul pauz, oprii caseta i citii n linite. Dac dorii s revenii, derulai caseta i reluai partea dorit!

    n al doilea rnd, dublai cu voce tare dialogul de pe caset, lecie cu lecie. Oprii banda i reluai de cte ori este nevoie, dac dorii s ascultai o secven anume. Urmrii cu atenie preluarea exact a pronuniei i intonaiei. Cnd sntei sigur c putei repeta dialogul, din nou cu voce tare din manual.

    n al treilea rnd, axai-v pe acele pri din lecii intitulate Cum se exprim. cu i aflai ce nsemneaz. Eventual ascultai din nou dialogurile

    de pe casete, cuprinznd situaiile respective. Gsii moduri de exprimare i reguli gramaticale simple, pentru a v constitui o baz a limbii engleze. al patrulea rnd, folosii componenta exerciii din fiecare lecie. n

    majoritatea cazurilor avei de-a face cu o convorbire. Citii indicaiile cu atenie pentru a ti la care parte a exerciiului v referii. Soluiile exerciiilor le gsii pe casete. Lucrai exerciiile pasaj cu pasaj.

    Dai rspunsul cu voce tare. Ascultai rspunsul de pe caset ori utilizai soluiile oferite de manual,

    soluia proprie. Dup fiecare soluie, pe caset este o scurt pauz. Dac acea pauz

    nu v este suficient pentru soluionare, acionai butonul pauz" al

    Acordai atenie exprimrii i i cutai s le reproducei. Repetai de cte ori simii c este necesar.

    n al cincilea rnd, ascultai nc o dat dialogurile. Vei remarca faptul c nelegei sensurile fr nici un efort. Repetai operaia de cte ori este nevoie pentru a nelege i a v exprima corect. Nu v sfiii s vorbii cu voce tare. Este cea mai bun formul de nvare.

    n partea a doua a manualului, gsii un grup de scenete al cror coninut este astfel dozat nct numrul vocabulelor s creasc de la prima spre ultima scenet. Este vorba de vocabule pe care nc nu le-ai nvat. Nu v alarmai, dac nu putei rspunde imediat unei ntrebri. Reascultai sceneta de cte ori este nevoie. Dac socotii necesar, derulai puin caseta napoi i ascultai din nou, pn ce, cu ajutorul vocabulelor deja nvate, putei descurca lucrurile i putei da rspunsul.

    Nu uitai s vorbii cu voce tarei

    never niciodat.

    febr; meter [mit] metru; serious

    9

  • se n cuvinte ca big mare, bill fish pete, milk lapte, till

    3. "ou" n cuvinte ca: singur; close nchis; gold aur; moment [moument] moment; open [oupn] deschis

    4. Ca un fel de "a" nchis i scurt, marcat n englez cu semnul fonetic A, n aa fel nct s se ating cu limbii partea posterioar a cerului gurii; done [dAn] fcut, glove v] mnu, money ni] bani, sometimes uneori, tongue limb.
