«Business English» Workbook №2 – это вторая из пяти книг. Она предназначена для тех, кто уже изучал грамматику ранее и имеет как минимум уровень «Pre-Intermediate».

В этой книге дается краткое описание каждой темы и ряд упражнений на закрепление пройденного материала.

Как и в предыдущей книге, здесь в основном диалоги с использованием большого количества готовых речевых образцов, которые вы можете применить в вашей работе, так как в основном диалоги связаны с работой в офисе и на производстве (строительство и нефтегазовая сфера).

Позвольте дать вам пару советов как работать с этой книгой:

– Прежде чем приступать к выполнению каждого задания, для начала выпишите незнакомые слова и выражения в отдельную тетрадь, проверьте перевод при помощи электронного переводчика (например «Google translator») и обязательно прослушайте произношение новых для вас слов.

– Выполните задание

– Прочитайте диалоги снова, переводя каждую фразу

(всегда читайте вслух, вы должны слышать как вы говорите).

Помните что правильное произношение это очень важная

составляющая для получения наилучшего результата.

Дорогу осилит идущий. Уверена, эта книга станет для Вас

новой ступенью на пути к новым достижениям.

С уважением

How to make your work effective

To evenly distribute the load and complete the tasks on time, always set three goals for the day at least, the goals that you must complete. If you are working on large projects, break down your goals into small tasks. Consistently achieve small goals to fulfill them as best as possible! Goals given to you may include real problems, discussion, updating the project plan, and requesting a project estimate. Be prepared to make extraordinary decisions in the case of a force majeure. If necessary, it is better to involve colleagues to help and distribute the load evenly. Make your goals achievable to set yourself up for success.

I often watch videos in English to better understand real English speech. Yesterday I watched a very interesting travel video. It was exciting! I dream of traveling and meeting different people and learning a lot about the culture and customs of different countries. It’s so great that there are so many different peoples and cultures on our planet.

I think, we should keep the traditions of every people and the peculiarities of every country. And at the same time, we should all respect the culture and customs of other countries. The world is beautiful in its diversity. Traditional values are extremely important in the education of future generations.

This time I’m going to visit my friends who live in the Czech Republic. They invited me many times. They are very good people. I have already looked through several articles about the most popular attractions in the city of Prague. I am going to take a lot of photos during the trip. I am so excited.

Every time I am about to change something in my life, there is a person who talks me out of doing it. I have a good position in an international company.

I have a good stable salary. But despite all these advantages, I feel that in this company I cannot be fully realized. I have a lot of ideas, but the management is not disposed to change the company’s policy neither to modernize the equipment. These are people with a conservative look and therefore they look at all innovations with caution.

So, you see, why I want to change my workplace. I am in a process of solving given task.

Chapter 1

Introduction Lesson

– Present Continuous может использоваться для

описания будущего действия (действие которое

свершится наверняка или же действие выраженное

глаголами движения):

We are working tomorrow. – Мы работаем завтра.

She is coming back next week.– Она возвращается

на следующей неделе.

Manager is arriving in two days. —

Менеджер приезжает через два дня.

Так же Present Continuous может использоваться

для описания временной ситуации:

He is living in New York now. —

Он живет в Нюйорке сейчас.

They are learning English hard for yearly exam-

Они изучают английский усердно из-за

ежегодного экзамена.

Кроме того Present Continuous может использоваться

для описания ситуации, которая постоянно меняется:

The prices are growing up year on year. —

Цены растут год от года.

The weather is changing day to day. —

Погода меняется день ото дня.

А так-же для описания действия, которое началось

и находится в процессе.

They are preparing all warehouses for forthcoming works.-

Ex.1

– Yes, we are going to the construction site with Chief Engineer.

of goods is becoming more expensive day to day. We can

lose all our clients.

– You are right; the quantity of consumers has dropped

down recently. In spite of good quality of our goods some

of Customers are looking for other Providers.

– I can’t believe. Isn’t it better to have under-quality but

cheaper goods instead a little bit more expensive but

high-quality one?

Ex.1.2

– What’s up? Aren’t you working today?

– I’m going to quit. I had an unpleasant talk to my
