Методическая записка

Потребности общества в области подготовки специалистов нового типа в современных условиях отражены в квалификационной характеристике выпускника образовательной организации среднего профессионального образования.

Основной целью обучения студентов иностранному языку в образовательной организации среднего профессионального образования является достижение ими практического владения этим языком, что предполагает формирование умения самостоятельно читать литературу с целью извлечения информации из иноязычных источников.

При обучении иностранному языку, чтение рассматривается, как самостоятельный вид речевой деятельности занимает ведущие место по своей важности и доступности.

Оно выполняет следующие функции:

1. Прививает навыки самостоятельной работы.

2. Текст часто выступает основой для письма, говорения и аудирования.

3. Имеет воспитательные цели (нравственность, мировоззрение, ценности).

4. Расширяет кругозор.

5. Прививает любовь к книге.

Понимание иностранного текста достигается при осуществлении двух видов чтения:

• Изучающее чтение - внимательное вчитывание в тест для полного понимания содержания и запоминания содержащейся информации для ее дальнейшего использования. При чтении с полным пониманием содержание аутентичного текста необходимо понимать как главную, так и второстепенную информацию, используя все возможные средства раскрытия значения незнакомых языковых явлений. Изучающее чтение предполагает умение самостоятельно проводить лексико-грамматический анализ, используя знание специальных предметов. Итогом изучающего чтения является точный перевод текста на родной язык.

• Ознакомительное чтение - извлечение основной информации, при этом делается ставка на воссоздающее воображение читателя, благодаря которому частично восполняется смысл текста. При чтении с пониманием основного содержания студент должен уметь определять тему и выделять основную мысль письменного сообщения, отделять главные факты от второстепенных, опуская детали.

Пособие включает в себя 4 текста по основным разделам календарно-тематического плана, рассчитанного на VII семестр.

Тексты пособия взяты, в основном, из оригинальной английской научно-популярной литературы. Тексты сокращены и адаптированы. К каждому тексту дается минимум слов, подлежащих активному усвоению. Студентам предлагается выполнить задания и ответить на вопросы после текстов. Тексты для чтения могут быть использованы как для работы в аудитории под руководством преподавателя, так и для внеаудиторного чтения.

It is generally believed that professions should be both prestigious and interesting. Everybody wants to benefit from the social privileges provided by the profession. At the same time other factors are important. Much depends on the inclinations and interests of the person. Although it is wonderful when one's hobby becomes one's profession. Another important factor is social environment. The profession of the parents often in this or that way influence the future profession of their children.

Today all professions can be classified as prestigious and not prestigious. But it is better not to choose that job where you may get a lot of money. The future profession should be interesting and meet the demands of the person.

Oliver's parents were owners of a pub in Clavering. After begging the chefs to let him assist, he was allowed to work in the kitchen. At the age of 16 Oliver entered the Westminster Catering College before traveling to France for additional training and experience. He landed his first job in London at the Neal Street Restaurant as head pastry chef and soon began working as sous-chef at the River Café, where his talent in front of the camera was discovered during the filming of a documentary on the restaurant. He was quickly contracted by Optomen Television to host his first series, The Naked Chef, in which he demonstrated how to simplify food preparation.

In addition to starring in numerous television programs-including Oliver's Twist (2002) and several other Naked Chef series-Oliver authored a number of best-selling cookbooks. In 2002 he established the Fifteen Foundation, a London-based program that gave underprivileged youths the opportunity to experience careers in the culinary industry.

The five-week television series Jamie's School Dinners documented the challenges Oliver faced while training a group of school cafeteria workers to prepare new, healthier items. The show helped Oliver to improve the quality of meals served in Britain's schools. In 2007 Oliver began hosting Jamie at Home, a show that focused on urban gardening. Three years later Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution began in the United States.

All jobs are important in their own way. I like cooking from my childhood so I have chosen it as a career. A chef or a cook is a person who is engaged in food cooking in catering establishments.

Chef profession is one of the oldest. As soon as the cavemen tamed fire and began to cook meat on a fire, they quickly found someone who could cook mammoths tastier and juicier, and began to trust this important mission only to him. Thus was born the first boss of cooking - a chef.

This profession is very creative and extraordinary. Chefs are sometimes even called magicians, who could cook a masterpiece of the most common foods.

Of course, anyone can cook something edible, such as fried or scrambled eggs. But the chef will cook the gentlest egg soufflé of the same foods. A chef not only cooks dishes according to the right technology and the recipe. He receives from it pure joy. A chef is trying to cook dishes that admire people.

Chef profession is unique. Although some people do not think so, they say that there is no big deal in chef's art: you simply connect the ingredients. However, it is not. In this case, the main thing is the talent, sense of taste and imagination. That's why I like it and want to be a real good chef.

Kitchen/Canteen energy-saving advice at work

Cooking equipment

• Always use the right-size pans for the base size for the hob.

• Keep lids on pans whenever possible. It can take 3 times more energy to cook without a lid than with one.

• When pans come to the boil, turn hobs down to the minimum needed for simmering (boiling does not speed up the cooking process!).

• Switch on equipment only when necessary.

• Don't leave equipment on standby if it can be avoided.

• Keep it clean! Keep all cooking equipment and ventilation units free from dust, grime, blackened surfaces and scale.

Refrigeration

• Close the door! Keep doors closed on refrigerated units and check that door closers are working correctly.

• Ensure that all liquids and food are covered.

• Do not defrost items under running water

• Keep fridges and freezers ice-free and defrost regularly - when required, but every two months as a minimum.

Switch-off

• Do not use ovens or hobs for space heating!

• Turn off taps after use.

• Switch off lights in a room or area when not in use.

• Switch off kitchen fans when no cooking is taking place.

• Make sure that light fittings are cleaned regularly.
