The aim of this manual consists of the following: - acquaintance with a vocabulary on a sport subject; - broadening students’ general outlook; - development of reading, translation and understanding skills of texts in self-work devoted to various kinds of sports; - improvement of the spoken language skills in situations which are closely connected with their future professional activity; - forming creative thought and skills for the decision of problem situations; - simplicity for self work; The contents of the manual are the following: - Foreword; Section I – Practical Tasks Section II – Grammar. Theory and Practice Section III – Additional texts for self work Section IV – Keys Section V – Recommended literature The topics covered in the book include: - Figure skating and Bobsledding - Boxing. Wrestling - Ice Hockey and Skeleton - Gymnastics and Track and Field - Skiing and Biathlon - Football. Field Hockey - Swimming. Water Polo - Basketball. Volleyball - Section I is organized into practical tasks which correspond to different kinds of sports and consists of 8 units. Each unit has the similar structure: Pre-reading, Reading, Language Development, Speaking, Writing, Project and Vocabulary to the units. Each unit of the manual contains realistic, high-interest reading. The readings are introduced with a pre-reading activity and are accompanied by a series of interesting exercises that allow students to demonstrate their reading comprehension. To improve reading comprehension, students should be encouraged to complete pre- reading activities before reading text. Familiarity with the text improves understanding and leads to reading success. Pre-reading exercises help students to plunge into a certain kind of sport, recall main sport events, facts and famous sportsmen. Reading activities include a wide range of texts, which are intended for reading in a class and for independent work of students. Different complication of texts allows using them for reading with understanding, translation, discussion and annotating. The authentic texts of the manual conform to cognitive and professional interests of students. Each unit of the manual contains a variety of exercises that present and practice new language and develop speaking, reading and writing skills. The lexical items are introduced through techniques which include multiple choice, matching, gap-filling, true-false, word-formation, etc. The first two techniques measure students’ passive vocabulary and should provide practice in recognition. The latter lend themselves better to checking and broadening their knowledge of active vocabulary and should provide practice in production. There are exercises based on problem- solving, grouping words, pictures, sentence-building, opposites, synonyms, errors, quizes, etc. They 5 test students’ knowledge of how an item is used, where it is used, what its limitations are, how it behaves in certain situations, what other words are likely to occur with it. Various Language Development exercises will help to master the sport vocabulary, prepare students for speaking on professional topics and increase their motivation to become actively involved in learning about physical culture and sport. Speaking is connected with the improving of English speaking skills. It will help students to communicate more easily and effectively using the information from the internet or historical books/encyclopedias. Writing deals with compositions focuses on specific topics. Students have to produce their own compositions using 150-200 words. This can be done initially in class or completed at home, as a part of their home-assignment. Students must understand the topic, because a rich language environment is the foundation for good writing. Some units have Project activity which deals with a short presentation, continuing the story, reading and discussion, etc. This kind of work requires knowledge of Project PowerPoint Presentation. Most of the new Vocabulary is presented at the end of each unit - Wordlist which is designed in the alphabetic order. The words and phrases are not translated into the students’ mother tongue, so they can check the meaning of new words in their dictionaries. Each new word or phrase is printed in boldface type in the unit when it appears for the first time in the text. Section II - – Grammar. Theory and Practice. It consists of the theoretical section with explanations and examples, grammar exercises. The exercises can be used for in-class reference or at-home study. Section III – Additional texts for self work focuses on authentic texts which logically supplement the units. Section IV – Keys will help students to find answers for the most difficult exercises. The answers also contain additional information on different topics. Section V – Recommended literature covers the authentic books, sites from the internet. This section is useful for those students who want to broaden their knowledge in physical culture and sport. 6 SECTION I. PRACTICAL TASKS Unit 1.

    FC Steaua Bucuresti v Real Betis Balompié PRESS KIT Lia Manoliu, Bucharest Thursday, 9 March 2006 - 19:00 local time Round of 16 - Matchday 10 FC Steaua Bucuresti were undone by Spanish opposition at this stage of the UEFA Cup last season, but will be looking to avoid the same fate when they line up against Real Betis Balompié in the last 16. Almost 12 months ago to the day the Romanian side saw their hopes ended by Villarreal CF at El Madrigal as Argentinian playmaker Juan Román Riquelme led the home team to a 2-0 victory. •A 3-1 first-leg victory proved enough to see Steaua negotiate their way through their first knockout round tie against SC Heerenveen. Nicolae Dica, Dorin Goian and Sorin Paraschiv were all on target as Cosmin Olaroiu's team recovered from conceding an early Arnold Bruggink goal in the Netherlands and although Heerenveen pulled one goal back in Bucharest, it was Steaua that progressed. It was the continuation of some fine form in this competition by the former European champions, who breezed through the group stage after an unbeaten campaign that brought eight points, including comprehensive victories against RC Lens and Halmstads BK - both at home. •Betis were also indebted to a two-goal first-leg lead as they edged past AZ Alkmaar to secure a place in the last 32. Brazilian pair Diego Tardelli and Robert were both on target as late goals earned the side a significant advantage in Seville, which the Dutch team clawed back at the Alkmaarderhout to take the tie to extra time.
