What is a "topic"? The word "topic" came to Russian from the English word "topic", which means "topic". In Russian, the concept of "topic in English" can be interpreted as "an essay or story in English". Therefore, topics in English on various topics will be useful for both schoolchildren and students.

In this section, we have collected examples of school and university assignments for English language about yourself, your family, your country, your pets, your favorite music and hobbies.

Such stories help well to develop thinking in English and English and prepare for.

We have provided each topic with a small dictionary - English words with translation into Russian on a given topic. We hope our English topics with translation will help you in learning and improving the language.

English speaking club

Conversation club is fundamentally different from English courses. The main characteristics of a spoken English club are as follows:

The purpose of the English speaking club is to develop primarily the Speaking skill and, to a lesser extent, Listening. Reading and Writing skills are completely ignored at meetings of the English Speaking Club, as well as clarification of the phonetic, grammar and lexical rules of the English language.

The meetings of the conversation club in English are not related in any way thematically, so the participant can skip them without prejudice to the entire program of the course.

1. There is no need to explain why the venue for an English speaking club should be comfortable for all participants. We only note that dim lighting can contribute to creating an atmosphere in a conversation club in English that is conducive to pleasant communication. It distracts the attention of the participants of the English conversation club from the details of the interior and appearance of the interlocutors, which helps to concentrate directly on the discussion.

2. Does a conversation club have to be run by a native English speaker? On the one hand, people prefer talking clubs with English-speaking hosts. On the other hand, the difference in mentality can make it much more difficult to create an interesting and relevant discussion. In addition, even in a large Russian city, it is very difficult to find a certified linguistic teacher of Anglo-Saxon origin who wishes to lead your conversation club. Typically, these are students or expats in non-core specialties from around the world, whose language level and pedagogical skills leave much to be desired. In our expert opinion, the best option is to invite a native English speaker to a conversation club meeting as a guest. In this case, he answers the questions of the presenter on an equal basis with other members of the English speaking club. Of course, like other members of the English language club, he can ask questions or answer himself, but the initiative for conducting the meeting remains with the Russian-speaking participant.

3. As for the number of participants in a conversation club in English, here you should adhere to the "golden rule": when more than 9 people gather, the general discussion inevitably splits into several groups. Thus, without taking into account the host, no more than 8 people should be present at a meeting of the conversation club at a time, and not taking into account the English-speaking guest, no more than 7.

4. Most English speaking clubs practice to inform participants in advance about the topic of the upcoming meeting, but we strongly do not recommend doing this! Firstly, a conversation club meeting should maximally stage a real situation of a spontaneous discussion with an English-speaking interlocutor. Secondly, complete unpreparedness makes the brain work faster, "raising to the surface deep layers" of knowledge, including from the subconscious. Thirdly, as our experience shows, a regular participant in a conversational English club can miss a meeting just because they have not prepared, or come, but feel insecure.

5. The first meeting of the English speaking club, regardless of the level of the group, we recommend starting with the topic "Names". First, it will help you and the English Speaking Club members remember their names faster. Secondly, this is the easiest of the conversational topics we offer, and, accordingly, the discussion on it will inspire confidence in the participants and positively set them up for further visits to the English language club.

6. The main mistake that the leaders of English speaking clubs make, in our opinion, is that they ask the whole group a question and wait for someone who wants to answer it. As a result of this practice, the same extroverts usually speak at the meeting, and some introverts leave the conversational English club without uttering a word! Of course, this is completely unacceptable! To avoid this monstrous mistake, the leader of the English speaking club should ask the same question personally to each participant and, until everyone has expressed their opinion, do not move on to the next question.

7. Encourage conversation club members to start their judgments with introductory expressions such as "I think", "In my opinion", "From my point of view", as is customary in the English-speaking world.

8. It is not at all necessary, by all means, at one meeting of the English language club to go through all 18 questions of your chosen conversation topic. The topics we offer for a conversation club in English are by no means an academic program. Rather, they play the role of a kind of "pusher" from which the discussion in English is started. Moreover, if after the first few questions, the dispute has gone in a different direction, then the meeting of the English speaking club was successful! Always remember that the most important criterion for a successful meeting of a spoken English club is that all its members are interested. If they want to discuss some other topic in English than the one suggested by you, that's just great!

9. Do not allow members of the English Speaking Club to take any notes during the meeting. First, let us repeat that the atmosphere of a club meeting should simulate as much as possible the situation of a conversation with an English-speaking interlocutor. Secondly, taking notes greatly distracts attention from the discussion in English. Actually, this is what makes the conversation club different from the English language courses.

10. As for the phonetic, grammatical and lexical mistakes made by the participants of the English speaking club, they should not be corrected directly during the discussion. Only if the same error occurs in the same participant more than 2 times, it is necessary to delicately point out it to him at the end of the meeting of the spoken English club. If necessary, you can advise him to listen to something, read or do exercises on this topic.

11. Also, at the end of each meeting of the conversation club, it is advisable to remind its participants to read books and watch films in English in between classes, as well as perform various exercises. If necessary, you can recommend the most useful resources for learning English.

Fluency in English is an achievable goal if you build an effective lesson plan. And especially the effectiveness of the lessons is important at the initial stage of study, when we have a fervor for acquiring knowledge, but there is still no clear understanding of how to conduct our classes. Therefore, to help beginners, such a technique as a topic in English on the topic of everyday life, relationships, a story about oneself, etc. was invented. Just in today's material, we will analyze what is remarkable about such a format of classes, how it is carried out and how effective the results of such studies are.

What is an English topic on the topic of family, hobbies, media, etc.

Let's start with what this study methodology is all about. So, English topics by topic are adapted training modules in which information on a specific topic is concentrated. Even the very designation "topic" is a topic in English. Therefore, in Russian, for example, a topic may be called “ story about myself" or " my family". More generalized options are also possible: “ travel », « tourism», « food and drink" etc. In this case, the training material consists of the following sections:

• Popular vocabulary ( preferably with transcription and translation);
• Text ( usually with grammar adapted to the level of knowledge of the students);
• Questions and tasks ( often suggestive, i.e. you can answer with ready-made sentences from the text);
• Independent work to consolidate the studied material (essay in English on a topic or oral story).

This lesson structure is not accidental. The fact is that English topics are designed to diversify the skills of foreign speech perception. To achieve this goal, this technique actually artificially recreates the language environment, i.e. forces students to immerse themselves in the topic as much as possible and concentrate on English. Accordingly, the topic should be selected according to its educational level. For example, there are English topics for students ( for students), for beginners ( for beginners), for pupils ( for schoolchildren) etc. All of them are distinguished by the complexity of grammar, the variety of vocabulary and the general disclosure of the topic.

This is with regard to the definition of topics as a method of learning a language. Now let's consider whether this method is effective and how high it is.

How to conduct lessons with topics in English

To assess how useful English topics are for beginners, you first need to understand the principle of conducting classes. After all, only a competently conducted lesson will provide the desired result. So, let's analyze the lesson with the topic in stages.

Vocabulary set

The first step is to familiarize yourself with the list of subject words. A good topic in English necessarily contains a dictionary, and all expressions in it are presented with transcription and translation. If your teaching material does not have a separate dictionary, then you need to make it yourself. Read the text of the lesson and find an unfamiliar word, write it out in a notebook. Work through the entire text in this way, and when you have a ready-made list of words, start looking for their translation and correct pronunciation. Do not be lazy to write out the transcription at least in Russian letters, because this will help you not only to pronounce the words correctly, but also to quickly memorize them.

Reading

The second stage of working with a topic is meaningful reading of the educational text. As we remember, the topics are designed to reveal everyday topics of the English language in an adapted form, i.e. adjusting to the level of knowledge of the reader. Therefore, difficulties should not arise here, especially since you have already sorted out all the incomprehensible vocabulary in advance. So, what should you concentrate on when reading:

• On the content. Understanding the text is the main task. After all, we then still have to answer questions or write an essay on the topic in English.
• On the use of words written out in the dictionary. New expressions are better remembered in context, so it doesn't hurt to mark the pattern of using a new word once again.
• Pronunciation. Reading the text aloud helps to eliminate the Russian accent and imitates the speech situation, i.e. later it will be easier for you to speak English, because you are confident in the correctness of your speech and you are used to its English sound.
• On grammatical constructions. It will not be superfluous to note the use of recently studied aspects of tense, irregular forms of verbs, etc.

Of course, it is impossible to immediately notice all these nuances, so the educational text is read at least 3 times. First, just for understanding the content, then out loud to practice pronunciation, and with the third reading we consolidate the information, along the way paying attention to the grammar and contexts of new words.

Listening

This stage is typical only for some lessons, since not all topics in English with translation are supplemented with audio material. If your text is accompanied by an entry with its content, additional dialogues or questions, then this is a great success. Because in this case, you can not only develop the correct pronunciation, but also work out the perception of English speech by ear.

Other English topics: Learning English on your own from scratch: how to achieve success

The listening process itself is as follows: the student listens to the recording, repeats after the speaker and tries to understand by ear what is being said. At first, you can and should use printed text as a guide, since it is better to clearly see what the announcer is saying. Otherwise, beginners can easily "get lost" in the recording, get nervous, not understand anything and only ruin the whole lesson for themselves.

Translation

While reading or listening to the topic in English, the student acts as a translator, translating the text into Russian. Of course, ideally, you need to achieve a subconscious understanding of English, i.e. we read, and immediately understand what is at stake, we do not even need to look for Russian equivalents of words and expressions. But at the initial stage of training, such perfection is simply impossible to achieve, it takes months or even years of practice. Therefore, here we work in a standard way - we translate consecutively according to sentences, and preferably in writing.

Why is translation needed? There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, in this way we will once again go through the content of the text and learn it better. Secondly, again, we will repeat the new vocabulary of the lesson. Thirdly, you may need a text with a translation for an essay in English, because when writing an essay you need to start from something. In addition, you need to know the translation for listening, so that it is easier to navigate the speaker's speech.

Questions and writing

After thorough work with the text, the studied information must be consolidated with the help of practice. For this, the work provides for mini-tests and leading questions, or, for example, they offer topics to translate Russian sentences into English. It all depends on the level of training of the student.

This is how lessons are conducted according to the methodology of English topics. As you can see, the work is quite voluminous, so it is possible, and sometimes even necessary, to divide it into several lessons ( especially if the topic in English requires writing an essay). At the same time, do not forget to start each next lesson with a short repetition of the already studied part of the material.

An example of an English topic for beginners

We looked at what topics are, and learned how to deal with them correctly. But this is all theory, and for a general understanding it would be nice to add a little practice. Therefore, now let's look at what a typical English topic looks like with translation for beginners. It has already been noted that topics for English are diverse and almost limitless, but for simplicity and clarity of the example, we will take the simplest one - "About myself" (About myself). So, let's begin.

1. How is Sergey old?
2. Where does he study?
3. What do his friends say about him?
4. What kind of sport does Sergey like and why?
5. What is his dream?

Task number 2: Using the given vocabulary and using the sample text, compose your own story about yourself in length of 10-15 sentences.

This is approximately what a typical English topic looks like. We do not have audio accompaniment for the text, but as an alternative we can recommend using a regular online translator. You just need to copy the text into the translator window and press the sound button.

The effectiveness of teaching topics in English

Now we have considered both theory and practice - it remains to evaluate the results. So, what is the usefulness of the methodology of English topics, it is also topics in English, if we speak in English.

Of course, topics contain a lot of useful information. This is a common vocabulary in speech, and behavior in everyday situations, and traditions, and the mentality of people. All these things are important to know for understanding the culture of the country and, accordingly, its language. In addition, topics are good because they allow you to develop a "base", i.e. quickly learn simple topics and start communicating in English.

It is important to note that with the help of topics, students develop comprehensively. Provided that the topic contains vocabulary, text, audio files and written assignments, students in one lesson improve their English proficiency in several points at once:

• Replenishment of vocabulary.
• Improved pronunciation.
• Working with listening comprehension.
• Remembering grammatical nuances.
• Ability to formulate your own thoughts in English.

Actually, the five points listed above represent full-fledged language proficiency. Indeed, for free communication in English, you need to know the meaning of words, be able to pronounce them correctly and understand what the interlocutor is talking about. In addition, our speech should be competent and fluent, i.e. you need to be able to quickly compose an answer to a question, and not lose the thread of the conversation.

Thus, it turns out that topics form a high-quality knowledge base of the English language for the student. Consequently, the effectiveness of the technique is extremely high. But, it should be noted that the overall performance strongly depends on the format of the classes. For example, if you will not listen to texts and answer questions to them, then naturally, you will not perceive English by ear. The same applies to writing: if you don’t want to write essays, don’t write, but only then you won’t learn how to formulate thoughts in English. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to speak with foreigners.

So in itself, the methodology of topics in English is almost flawless, but do not be lazy to conduct your lessons correctly and constantly monitor the results of classes.

We also advise you to study the useful material about 1000 words in English that you need to know, it will definitely come in handy when writing your texts in English.

Good luck and see you soon!

Each of us has ever had a task to tell about ourselves in writing or orally. It could be when applying for a job, meeting new people, filling out a questionnaire, passing an exam, or simply it was the topic of your school essay.

It is important to immediately determine how deep and extensive your story about yourself should be. Of course, it all depends on the situation. If you are preparing for an interview, then the story should be clear, concise, businesslike. You should focus on your education, work experience, your business qualities, and in general, your strengths and prospects as an employee. If your story is focused on new acquaintances, then most likely you will mainly talk about your hobbies, hobbies, habits, character, etc. In a school essay, you will definitely have to tell about your family and friends and about plans for the future ... The situations in which you need to tell about yourself can be very different.

If you are faced with the task of telling about yourself in English, then ready-made phrasal templates will come to your aid, supplementing which you will receive a full-fledged essay. First you need to determine personally for yourself what exactly you want to talk about and draw up a clear plan for the story. I suggest that you explore a “one-size-fits-all” plan for talking about yourself that will work for just about any situation. You yourself can decide which points in your essay will be covered in more detail, and which will not. For each item, you will be offered template phrases with translation, which you will need to supplement with information about yourself.

The outline of our story will be as follows:

1. Introduction and general information about myself
2. The place where I live
3. Information about family
4. Education
5. Place of work (My job)
6. My hobbies, talents and interests (My hobby, talents and interests)
7. Character traits (Сharacter)
8. Plans for the future

Phrases-templates are the main helpers in composing a story about yourself

Writing a story "About myself"

As an introduction, if the situation permits, you can say this phrase:

• It’s hard to speak about myself as only people surrounding me can see me objectively - It’s very difficult to talk about yourself, because they can only perceive me objectively from the outside

• Let me introduce myself - Let me introduce myself
• Let me tell you a few words about myself - Let me tell you a little about myself

First of all, state your name:

• My name is Valentin - My name is Valentin

If your loved ones call you differently, you can add the following words:

• But my friends call me Vel - But friends usually call me Val
• But people usually call me Valea - But they usually call me Valya
• But you can call me Vel - But you can call me Val

You can indicate the origin of your name or something interesting about it:

• It is a Latin name - This is a Latin name
• I was named after my grandmother - I was named after my grandmother
• My name is quite unusual and I like it - My name is quite unusual and I like it

If your interlocutor is interested, then you can devote a couple of sentences to your city, its location and attractions. In America, when meeting a new person, this item is simply a must. For some reason, this is very important for Americans. A person can be born, for example, in the state of Illinois and move to another state in early childhood, but when meeting, he will certainly mention that he is from the state of Illinois.

• My home town is very big, one million people live there.
• It is located in the south of the country - It is located in the south of the country
• My home city is the center of light industry - My home city is the center of light industry

If you are writing an essay about yourself in English, then you definitely need to mention your family:

• All members of my family are helpful and friendly - All members of my family are friendly
• There are five of us in the family - There are five of us in the family
• We get on well with each other - We get on well with each other

If necessary, include general facts about each family member. Tell us about how old they are, what they do, who is by education, where they live, etc. But do not get carried away too much. The whole story is about you, not about your family members.

The next item in our plan is about education. It will most likely be required in any case. If you are still in school, but you can use the following phrases:

• I go to school. I am in the ninth form - I go to school. I'm in ninth grade
• I am good at German and Math - I do well in German and Math
• My favorite subjects are Spanish and Literature - My favorite subjects are Spanish language and literature
