PREFACE The textbook has been designed for the junior students of the Daugavpils Pedagogical University. The aims of the book are: 1. to enrich students’vocabulary; 2. to consolidate the newly acquired vocabulary items; 3. to develop students’abilities and skills in discussing appropriate problems and analysing literary texts. The textbook consists of 10 units which include an original text, a list of phrases from the text, vocabulary items to be acquired and three types of exercises: vocabulary, text and discussion exercises. The texts of the book and vocabulary items have been selected so that they should be thematically related to the topics included in the bachelor programmes for the junior students of the university. The new vocabulary items are taught and consolidated with the help of vocabulary exercises which are focused on word polysemy, synonymy and phraseology. The text exercises are concerned with the comprehension of the given text and the use of the acquired vocabulary in context. Discussion exercises are aimed at developing students’speaking skills on a definite topic and using the newly learnt vocabulary items creatively in a different context. Various stories, anecdotes, puns, proverbs etc. are provided for this purpose. Each unit of the textbook includes also a few translation exercises. Since students think in the categories of their native language, it seems appropriate that they must be given a special training to adjust their innate knowledge of their mother tongue to the norms and requirements of the English language. Here the translation exercises come in handy. 3
