2. Глаголы, после которых употребляется и инфинитив, и герундий:

Следующий пункт посложнее: есть глаголы, после которых можно использовать и герундий, и инфинитив.

Часть этих глаголов будет менять значение в зависимости от того,с чем они употребляются - с герундием или с инфинитивом.

⠀Глаголы, которые меняют значение: таблица герундия и инфинитива в английском языке:

to remember
remember doing = помнить что-то. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember leaving my cell phone on the table. (Я точно помню, что оставил телефон на столе)	remember to do = вспомнить, не забыть.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember to take your keys before you go out. (Не забудь взять свои ключи перед тем, как пойдешь на работу).
to forget
forget doing = забыть/не иметь сил забыть о чем-то, что уже произошло. I will never forget meeting her. It changed all my life! (Я никогда не забуду…)	forget to do = забыть что-то сделать в настоящем или недалеком прошлом. I think I forgot to turn off the iron. (Мне кажется, я забыла выключить…)
to regret
regret doing = пожалеть о чем-либо, что уже произошло. I regret talking to her that way! (Я сожалею, что разговаривал с ней так!)	regret to do = сожалеть о чем-либо, что приходится делать сейчас. We regret to inform you that you have not been admitted to Johns Hopkins University. (С сожалением сообщаем, вынуждены сообщить…)
to stop
stop doing = совсем прекратить что-то делать. I finally stopped eating at night! (Наконец-то я перестала есть по ночам!)	stop to do = прекратить одно действие, чтобы начать делать что-то другое. He stopped to ask for directions. (Он остановился, чтобы спросить дорогу)
to go on
go on doing = продолжать делать что-то, одно и то же действие. After a break she went on talking about her health. (После перерыва она продолжила рассказывать о своём здоровье)	go on to do = продолжать, но переключиться с одного действия на другое. She, first, melted chocolate, added butter and then went on to make icing. (Она сначала растопила шоколад, добавила масло и продолжила делать глазурь)
to try
try doing = попробовать что-то сделать, в качестве эксперимента. She tried learning English but gave up after a while. (Она попробовала поучить английский, но бросила через некоторое время).	try to do = пытаться совершить сложное действие, стараться, и прилагать значительные усилия. I tried to work, but couldn’t because of a terrible headache. (Я попытался поработать, но из-за ужасной головной боли я не смог).

 

Глаголы, которые не меняют значение:

Есть и другие глаголы, которые тоже употребляются и с герундием, и с инфинитивом. Но они смысл значительно не меняют: begin, continue, prefer, start, hate, love, like.

She begins sneezing every time she sees a cat.
She begins to sneeze every time she sees a cat.
(Она начинает чихать каждый раз, когда видит кошку).

После глаголов advise, allow, recommend, encourage, permit тоже можно использовать и герундий, и инфинитив. НО! Если после основного глагола стоит объект (на кого направлено действие), то используем инфинитив:

Mum allowed me to stay overnight at my friend’s place. (Мама разрешила мне заночевать у подруги).

Если объекта нет, то используем герундий:

Mum allowed staying overnight at my friend’s place. (Мама разрешила ночевку у подруги).

Еще несколько моментов:

– После предлогов.

Если после глагола стоит предлог, то мы используем герундий. Это предлоги: for, before, without, by, about, of, from, in.

I’m interested in drawing. – Я интересуюсь рисованием.

⠀– После прилагательных во фразах типа: It is good (important, happy, hard и т.д.) to… мы используем инфинитив

It is nice to see you again. – Радостно видеть тебя снова.

– С вопросительными словами в утверждениях.

I don’t know how to open this door. – Я не знаю, как открыть эту дверь.

– Для выражения цели какого-то действия.

I came here to meet you. – Я пришел сюда, (зачем?) чтобы встретиться с тобой (правда, это уже не дополнение, а обстоятельство).

You have received an email message from your English-⁠speaking pen-⁠friend Alice:

From: Friend@mail.uk

To: Russian_friend@ege.ru

Subject: Welcome

... I have to think about my pocket money all the time. My parents try to make me earn it by doing the housework. They try to make me save up and then buy something useful. But I need pocket money for the cinema and ice-⁠cream and other treats like that. Do you have to ‘earn’ your pocket money in any way or do your parents just give it to you? What do you spend your pocket money on? What do your parents think of the way you spend it? Last weekend my friends and I went on a picnic to the countryside...

 

Write an email to Alice. In your message answer her questions, ask 3 questions about her picnic. Write 100–140 words. Remember the rules of email writing. You have 20 minutes to do this task.

There are hobbies of different kinds. Some are indoor activities and the others are outdoor activities. Some help in relaxing the mind and some the body and some others both mind and body. Collecting stamps, coins, pictures and the like, listening to music, and reading a book can be called indoor hobbies. Drawing, painting, photography, writing poetry and the like may be called both indoor and outdoor hobbies. Gardening, hunting, fishing, swimming, bird watching, and star gazing are all outdoor hobbies. People choose their hobbies according to their interests and tastes. Relaxation and pleasure are the principles that guide the choice. Hobbies not only delight, but also educate. Hobbies develop curiosity. Collecting stamps and coins of various countries, no doubt, gives pleasure. At the same time, it helps one to know the geography, the history and the culture of the countries concerned.

You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

 

People have enjoyed sports for thousands of years. Children, men and women play sports both for pleasure and for challenge. Every sport involves physical skill. Every sport has a set of rules that the players of the sport follow. In some sports one person competes against other individuals. Examples of these sports include boxing, tennis and so on. In many games one team competes against the other team. People can go in for winter and summer sports. Summer sports are typical for warmer countries. Those who live in regions that experience cold winters have long enjoyed ice skating, skiing, and sledding. These activities have grown immensely in popularity over the years. Today thousands of resorts cater to the winter tourist trade, and millions of people each year take winter sports vacations.

Once there was a girl named Sam who was a bit of a tomboy. She loved sports and often played with the boys in her class. Some kids would tease her for not wearing dresses, but Sam didn't feel hurt by their words. She had a good group of friends who always stood by her.

Unfortunately, there was a bully who would not leave Sam alone. He would say mean things and try to make others laugh at her. One day, Sam's teacher noticed and suggested that the school provide counseling service to help both Sam and the bully. The teacher explained that it was illegal to bully others, and everyone has the right to feel safe at school.

Meanwhile, Sam's mom worked at a placement agency. She helped people who were highly qualified find jobs when they were made redundant at their old companies. Sam thought of her mom's job as like a big puzzle, finding the right piece for the right place. Sam was reluctant to share her problems at school with her mom, but eventually, she told her everything. Her mom was very supportive and helped her figure out how to deal with the bully.

Phrasal verb TO GIVE (follow the link)

Suggested Answer Key (ex 7 p 103)

We should have healthy eating habits to prevent us from getting ill by making sure we

get all the vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health.

A fun way to do this is to follow a rainbow diet, that is, to eat lots of fruit and

vegetables in all the colours of the rainbow. If you do this, you will find that red foods

such as strawberries, raspberries, apples,tomatoes and so on will give you an energy boost and protect you from many serious illnesses. Orange foods such as oranges, pumpkins, peaches and mangoes can improve your powers of concentration, help your eyesight and help fight off infections because they contain Vitamin C. Yellow foods such as bananas, lemons and pineapples help us to stay happy and green foods

like broccoli and lettuce can help us to relax and stay calm. Blue foods like blueberries can soothe our emotions as well as our bodies. Finally, purple foods such as figs and plums are said to make people more creative as well as help to keep them looking young! For all these reasons, I think eating a rainbow diet is a good idea and we should all start today ― after all ― what have we got to lose?

PROBLEMS IN THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION:

Read the dialogue and answer the questions:

1)    What problems do children in some countries have?

2)    Are there any benefits (advantages) for the children who are lucky to go to school and have a teacher?

3)    What sort of job do some people have to do and why?

4)    How can the problem of lacking schools be solved?

 

S1: What’s up with you?

S2: I don’t feel like going to school today.

S1: You don’t know how lucky you are. Some kids want to go to school and can’t.

      Many kids don’t get much of an education at all and some don’t even have the chance to learn to read or write.

S2: You’re exaggerating.

S1: No, really. A lot of countries don’t have enough schools or teachers. In fact, over 15 million teachers are needed all over the world.

S2: Wow! That’s terrible!

S1: I know in many underdeveloped countries all the children in a village go to the same school and share one teacher. There can be anything from thirty to sixty students in one class and different age groups, too. That means a six-year-old could be sharing the same classroom and teacher with a twelve-year-old.

S2: How do they do that? It sounds practically impossible to me.

S1: Well, some people have no choice. At least, they learn something and make some friends and have access to a teacher who can teach them how to learn and help them as much as they can in the circumstances. It’s better than nothing. Only larger towns and cities have better schools and not many families can afford to send their children there. There are many children around the world that don’t go to school at all.

S2: So what do they do when it comes to getting a job?

S1: They end up working in a family business or doing a manual job or working in the fields.

S2: That’s terrible! These children aren’t given any opportunities! And how do they make friends? My friends are often my school.

S1: They often have their siblings and other family members, I suppose.

And maybe there are other children in the neighbourhood.

S2: Isn’t anyone going to try and change all this?

S1: Only the government can really make a difference. Each country’s Ministry of Education needs to take responsibility and try and change the situation by creating more state schools with enough teachers and supplies (канцелярские принадлежности и материалы) to cater for all the children in every area.

S2: But we need to raise awareness, too. A lot of people don’t know that many children are deprived of an education just because of where they live. I didn’t.

S1: That’s right. If the media got involved, than more people would take interest and maybe start to raise money to help or set up a charity or something. Why don’t we start by writing a letter to our minister of education explaining our concerns. Hopefully, they’ll be able to do something to help children who are less fortunate than us.

S2: That’s a great idea. I’ll get a pen and paper.

The Educational Structure (USA School System)

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL

Prior to higher education, American students attend primary and secondary school for a combined total of 12 years. These years are referred to as the first through twelfth grades.

Around age six, U.S. children begin primary school, which is most commonly called “elementary school.” They attend five or six years and then go onto secondary school.

Secondary school consists of two programs: the first is “middle school” or “junior high school” and the second program is “high school.” A diploma or certificate is awarded upon graduation from high school. After graduating high school (12th grade), U.S. students may go on to college or university. College or university study is known as “higher education.”

There are hobbies of different kinds. Some are indoor activities and the others are outdoor activities. Some help in relaxing the mind and some the body and some others both mind and body. Collecting stamps, coins, pictures and the like, listening to music, and reading a book can be called indoor hobbies. Drawing, painting, photography, writing poetry and the like may be called both indoor and outdoor hobbies. Gardening, hunting, fishing, swimming, bird watching, and star gazing are all outdoor hobbies. People choose their hobbies according to their interests and tastes. Relaxation and pleasure are the principles that guide the choice. Hobbies not only delight, but also educate. Hobbies develop curiosity. Collecting stamps and coins of various countries, no doubt, gives pleasure. At the same time, it helps one to know the geography, the history and the culture of the countries concerned.

People have enjoyed sports for thousands of years. Children, men and women play sports both for pleasure and for challenge. Every sport involves physical skill. Every sport has a set of rules that the players of the sport follow. In some sports one person competes against other individuals. Examples of these sports include boxing, tennis and so on. In many games one team competes against the other team. People can go in for winter and summer sports. Summer sports are typical for warmer countries. Those who live in regions that experience cold winters have long enjoyed ice skating, skiing, and sledding. These activities have grown immensely in popularity over the years. Today thousands of resorts cater to the winter tourist trade, and millions of people each year take winter sports vacations.
