Теоретический материал

I. Grammar

Косвенная речь – передача чьих-либо слов от третьего лица. В косвенной речи мы можем передавать как утверждения, так и вопросы, команды и предложения. Для того, чтобы переделать прямую речь в косвенную мы:

1) открываем кавычки и используя глаголы tell или say вводим то, что было в кавычках: He said, “I feel sick”. – He said (that) he felt sick.

!!! Разница употребления глаголов say и tell:

say something; say to somebody; say that

tell somebody that; tell somebody about something

Но существует ряд устойчивых выражений с say и tell

2) Личные и притяжательные местоимения изменяем в соответствии с контекстом:

3) Наречия и указательные местоимения будут меняться следующим образом:

4) Если слово, вводящее прямую речь (say, tell) стоит в Past, то предложение подчиняется правилу согласованию времен:

5) Времена Past Continuous и Past Perfect не изменяются.

6) Время не меняется, если говорим о всем известной правде, законе природы и о том, что верно на сегодняшний день:

7) Когда слово, вводящее прямую речь, стоит в Present, Future, Present Perfect,то глагол не меняет временную форму:

III. Word formation

Как выполнить задания на словообразование:

1) попытайтесь определить, какая часть речи нужна, чтобы заполнить пропуск (им. сущ., им. прилагательное, глагол и т.д.);

2) вспомните суффиксы, характерные для данной части речи (например, для им. сущ. – ment, - ness, - ism; для глагола –ise, -ify, -en; для им. прилагательного – ful, -al, -ous).

3) Определите по контексту, имеет ли слово положительное или отрицательное значение.

4) Иногда правила словообразования не дают ожидаемого результата – слова звучат неестественно и вы уверены, что видите или слышите их в первый раз (например, steal – ~~stealer~~, speech – ~~speecher~~). Это значит, что вы просто должны знать ту форму, которая вам нужна в данном случае.

A short History of Mexico city

Although the central region of Mexico`s high plateau has been inhabited for at least 20,000 years, Mexico City only dates back to the 14^th century. The Aztecs, or Mexica, had reached this area in the previous century, eventually settling on an island in Lake Texcoco. Here, in 1325, the city of Tenochtitlan began to take shape.

The lake was shallow, and during the nearly 200 years until 1519, the Aztecs expanded inhabited area by land refill and the creation of artificial islands. Canals were dug for the transportation of goods and people. Aqueducts were constructed to bring drinking water from natural springs outside the city, dams to protect it against floods, and causeways and bridges to connect the city with the shore. There were many houses, palaces, temples, squares, markets and even a zoo. Perhaps the most striking construction of this period is the Templo Mayor, a double pyramid which still survives. As the capital of an empire stretching from Texas to Honduras, Tenochtitlan was a magnificent and important city. When the Spanish arrived, they called it the “Venice of the New World”.

The Spanish began their conquest of Mexico in 1519 and came close to Tenochtitlan the same year. In 1521, they took control of it, after fierce fighting that destroyed most of the city. A new capital, with a new name, was built on the ruins, using Spanish architectural styles. One part of the lake was filled in to join the island to the shore, and Mexico City became the capital of the wealthiest colony on the Americas, the center of trade between Spain and China.

By the beginning of the 17^th century, it was a busy, lively city, with some residents leading a splendid and luxurious way of life. Not everything went well, though: heavy rain in 1629 caused a great deal of destruction, in which many people died, and thousands lost their homes. A large part of the city had to be rebuilt. For much of the century, the residents suffered from social and economic pressures, including serious food shortages, which erupted in riots in 1692.

In the 18^th century, too, many new buildings were constructed. It was a prosperous period, when the new aristocracy paid for splendid buildings, banquets and balls, not to mention the latest fashions from Europe.

The rise of Napoleon in the early 19^th century led to political changes throughout Europe. An uprising took place in Mexico in 1810, with the aim of ending the rule from Spain. This goal was finally achieved in 1821, when Mexico City briefly became the capital of the Mexican Empire. Since 1823, it has been the capital of the Republic of Mexico, apart from a short period, from 1863 to 1867, when the country was again an empire.

In the first few decades of the 20^th century, plans were drawn up for the urbanization of Mexico City; slum-clearance and housing development programmes were introduced, and factories spread through the city. During the 20^th century, the population grew fast, and the city is now one of the largest in the world. It has changed a great deal since it was founded nearly 700 years ago.
