4. Методические рекомендации для организации самостоятельной работы с текстом
Для того, чтобы текст стал реальной и продуктивной основой обучения всем видам речевой деятельности, важно научиться разнообразным манипуляциям с текстом на пред текстовом, текстовом и после текстовом этапах. Знание таких приемов позволяет овладеть навыками и умениями самостоятельной работы с текстом и подготовки речевых высказываний различного типа.
Приемы оперирования с материалом текста и соответствующие упражнения не пред текстовом этапе предназначаются для дифференциации языковых единиц и речевых, образцов их узнавания в тексте и овладение догадкой для формирования навыков вероятностного прогнозирования.
На текстовом этапе предполагается использование различных приемов извлечения информации и трансформации структуры и языкового материала текста. На после текстовом этапе приемы оперирования направлены на выявление основных элементов содержания текста.
4.1. МУ для организации самостоятельной работы с текстом
1. Прочтите заголовок текста.
2. Выпишите незнакомые слова.
3. Определите по формальным признакам синтаксическую функцию как известных, так и неизвестных вам слов.
4. Сделайте предварительный перевод заглавия, заменяя незнакомые слова неопределенно - личными местоимениями.
5. прочтите текст, определите его тему двумя - тремя словами.
6. Прочтите еще раз первый абзац.
7. Подумайте, встречаются ли в первом абзаце слова заглавия. Помните, что известные слова могут быть представлены синонимами или описательно.
8. Посмотрите, есть ли в абзаце слова, близкие по форме неизвестному слову.
9. Определите, одинаковы ли подлежащее абзаца и подлежащее заголовка.

13. Сравните главные члены и дополнения в полученных предложениях. Убедитесь в том, что в заглавии было выражено незнакомым вам словом, а в полученных предложениях в роли сказуемого появились слова, известные вам. То же относится к подлежащему и дополнению

Текст
The last bus to Donington - on - Bain
John Tryer reports on the local problems of a national crisis - how people without cars can move about in the country.
Last Monday the little village of Donington - on - Bain, deep in the Lincolnshire woods, lost its last contact through public transport with the outside world. Once Donington (pop. 236) boasted its own railway station. That closed a generation ago, and on April I the two bus services, to Lincoln in one direction and Louth in the other, were withdrawn. Now the villagers of Donington, a third of whom do not own a car, face a three-mile treck for the nearest bus route.
Lincolnshire is not a good bus country, with the population scattered around in little pockets over the flat, rich farmland.
The buses have to cover long distances from place carrying don’t make enough money on these journeys, and that even using the money they make on the busy routes to pay for the less busy ones they can’t make ends meet. So they back the services. There are fewer buses. Fewer people find the service they need.
What are they going to do when the services stop? It game as a shattering blow to Donington - on - Bain. “They’ve got no right to leave us here without a bus” said Eva Traves, a 56 year - old housewife who has lived in the village for 36 years. “We’ve ever such a lot of elderly people here. How are they going to get out?”
“My husband Ron was in hospital at Louth recently and I visited him every day. I couldn’t do that now, unless somebody took me in their car. The nearest bus is at South Willingham, three miles away.”
Donington’s local councilor, Charles Turner, was one of the first to be hit by lost service. Unlike Ron Traves, who rides on a scooter to the meetings in the Louth this week.” Turner says that some 35 per cent of the Donington people, especially in the old people’s bungalows and the council houses, do not have a car.
All hope, however, is not lost. Louth Rural District Council is trying to persuade a local firm to run a bus service to and from Donington two days a week. The trouble is that it will not do so unless the council underwrites the costs at the rate of € 7 a day. The Council has refused, but its clerk, Bryan Spence, is trying to talk the firm into haying a few experimental runs to see what happens.
Unless something is done, the drain of people from villages to the towns will continue, which cannot be healthy. If there are more people in the villages it will be easier to justify buses to them. Many councilors seem to cling to the mistaken belief that all villagers are two - car families when in fact many do not even have one.
