Пояснительная записка

Учебно-методическое пособие для развития навыков аудирования «Your English Listening Lessons» предназначено для проведения аудиторных и факультативных занятий по английскому языку с курантами 1-го и 2-го курсов В данное пособие включены 12 аудиозаписей, начитанных носителями английского языка, по теме «Работа полиции в Великобритании и США». Процесс овладения навыками аудирования является одним из основных и самых сложных при изучении иностранного языка. Следует также учитывать, что аудирование всегда сопряжено с психологическим напряжением. Исходя из отмеченных особенностей, каждая аудиозапись, включенная в данное пособие, сопровождается заданиями, позволяющими настроить обучающегося на восприятие иностранной речи. Весь комплекс заданий дополнен упражнениями на развитие навыков слухового восприятия и понимания прослушанной информации на иностранном языке, а также заданиями продуктивного характера (реферирование и оценка прослушанной аудиозаписи, постановка и обсуждение проблемных вопросов). Аудиозаписи, содержащиеся в пособии, расположены с учетом нарастания трудностей и увеличения объема звучания. Данное пособие также может быть использовано в ходе самостоятельной работы курсантов, поскольку настоящее пособие снабжено скриптами аудиозаписей. Пособие рассчитано на 12-14 часов аудиторных занятий.

In the UK a vehicle is stolen every 2 minutes. In the US, this happens every 26.4 seconds. The police find fewer than h a lf o f these vehicles. INTERPOL - the international criminal police organization - has an international database with details o f stolen vehicles. This is the Automated Search Facility Stolen M otor Vehicle (ASFSMV) database. At the end o f 2007, the database had more than 4.8 m illion records o f reported stolen motor vehicle. 151 countries use the database regularly. In 2007, the ASF-SMV database helped police to recover more than 37,000 m otor vehicles worldwide. Unit 8. Track 29. In the UK, if you are convicted o f dangerous driving, for example if you cause an accident because you are using a m obile phone, or if you don’t stop at a red traffic light and you hit another vehicle, you will automatically lose your driving license, and you may also have to pay an unlimited fine. If the accident is very serious and you kill someone, you may also go to prison for up to 14 years. You m ust stop if you have an accident, and you m ust report it to the police. Failure to report an accident, or driving away after you have an accident, are serious offences. You may have to pay a fine o f up to 5,000 pounds and you might go to prison for up to six months. The penalty for most other traffic offences is a fine o f some kind, and penalty points on your license. This means you lose your license if you offend too often. The highest fines are up to 2,500 pounds for speeding offences, and up to 5,000 pounds for driving after drinking too much alcohol. The penalty for talking on a mobile phone when you are driving is 1,000 pounds but this goes up to 2,500 if you driving a bus or an HGV. Unit 9. Track 32. A: So, what exactly do you do? B: I’m a Police Community Support Officer. At the moment, we can’t arrest people or interview suspects, but we can issue warnings and fines.

The police officers carry out any high-risk tasks. As a PCSO, it’s my job to support frontline policing. A. And do you patrol with police officers, or ...? B: No. I mostly patrol alone on my bike. A: And do you carry any equipment? B: Just a radio. We don’t carry handcuffs or batons at the moment. A: Your work. What do you like most about your work?

B: And where did you put your wallet? A: In this bag with my cam era and guide book and all my things. B: W hat did you do next? A: I went back to my hotel near H eroes’ Square to meet my girlfriend. I was walking across the square when a young girl came to me and asked me to buy some flowers. But I didn’t have any change. Anyway, about five minutes later, back in the hotel, I discovered that I didn’t have my wallet. I looked in the hotel and on the square, but I couldn’t find it. B: Unfortunately there are a lot o f thieves like this in the area. They work in pairs. Probably while you were talking to the girl with the flowers, her accomplice stole your wallet. Can you tell me what else was in your wallet? A: I had two credit cards, but I’ve already cancelled them. B: Good. Anything else? A: Well, I had two traveler’s cheques for 50 euros, plus the 100 euros from the machine. B: And had you endorsed your cheques? A. Endorsed? I’m sorry I don’t understand. B: Signed them. A: Ah, I understand. No, I hadn’t endorsed them. Oh ... I’ve ju st remembered. There was also my driving license. That is all. B: Now, I’ll just get a crime report form and take down all the details, if that is OK? Unit 12. Track Crime Interviewer: Good afternoon. Today on Crime Check we are going to talk about "repeat victims", people who are victim s o f crime more than once. First o f all we bring you the sad story o f Ruth and Harold Saunders from Hull, who have had their house burgled no fewer than eight times in the last 3 years. W orth an entry in the Guinness Book o f Records you m ight think, but for Ruth and Harold, it's no joke. Ruth, why do you think you've been burgled so many times? Ruth: I wish I knew. It's a nightmare. We bought this house because it looks out onto the playing fields and we thought it was the perfect house for our retirement. Interviewer: When were you first burgled? Ruth: Oh, three years ago, just a week after we had moved in. It was as if the burglars were waiting for us. Interviewer: Do you feel sorry that you moved there now? Ruth: Oh definitely. If we had known we were going to have this sort o f trouble, we wouldn't be living here we would chosen somewhere safer. But now we can't even sell the house because everyone knows the burglars like it! No one will buy it. We can't escape from this neighbourhood. W e're ju st waiting for the next breakin. Interviewer: Do you know who the burglars are? Ruth: We think so, but we can never prove anything. You see, people can watch the house from the playing fields, and there are a number o f youths who we see watching the house. They hang around there smoking in the afternoons. I'm frightened to go to the shops in case they break in while I'm away. Interviewer: Have you tried calling the police?

Ruth: Yeah, several tim es, but these youths always get away by running into the woods on the other side o f the playing fields, and the police don't bother to go after them. Interviewer: And what have you had stolen? Ruth: Oh all sorts o f things on different occasions. They never take much, but they always seem to come back. They've taken the television twice. If we'd known they were going to come back, we wouldn't have bought a new television after the first burglary, but a week after we bought it, the burglars broke in again. Interviewer: W hat else have they taken? Ruth: Oh, apart from the television and the video, nothing very valuable, but then we don't have anything else which is very valuable. It's annoying really, and they do a lot o f damage when they break in. I sometimes think we should leave a door open. If we left the door open, at least they could come in without doing any damage! Interviewer: So what are you going to do about this situation? Ruth: What can we do about it? We'd be happier if we'd stayed in our old house. If we still lived there, I'm sure we w ouldn't have been burgled once. We were there for forty years without a single problem. Interviewer: M arylyn Brookes, you are C hief Crime Prevention Officer for South Yorkshire police. Is there really nothing they can do? CPO: No, there are things they can do though I must say first that I do feel sorry for them. Interviewer: Well, what can they do? CPO: If I were them, I'd have had a burglar alarm put in straightaway. In fact, I'm surprised the insurance company hasn't insisted on that already. Ruth: Well, they have said that but we can't afford one o f those! We only have our pension, and burglar alarms cost thousands o f pounds. CPO: Well, have you thought o f putting a burglar alarm box on the wall? That puts some thieves off. Also, you should talk to the neighbours and ask them to keep an eye on your home when you're out. Interviewer: But why do the burglars keep coming back to the Saunders' house? I mean eight times is a lot, isn't it? CPO: Well, there are several things here. Obviously it is easy to watch the house from the playing fields, and also burglars tend to talk amongst themselves. They tell each other which houses are easy to break into, and what things the houses still have in them. Also they wait a few months until they think the owners have replaced the things that were stolen. After all, burglars prefer to steal som ething that's brand new. And another thing you have to consider is...
