If you were given an option of what to study on the lessons of English (for additional payment), what would you choose? What you would never choose? Explain.
1) General English – kind of preparation for the Certificates like FCE, CAE
2) Business English – kind of Market Leader course
3) Preparation for the diploma of a translator with the course of translation, theoretic grammar etc.
4) Modern English - a deeper insight into grammar and phraseology (idioms and phrasal verbs in topics on the base of grammar material)
5) Skills in English – a course of Effective presentations, public speaking, meetings strategy, etc.

Dear friends and master, i whould choose Master Leader course, because in 10-11 form we were studing it. And it was very interesting because consists from a large number of role games.
hello, dear friends! I'd choose Modern English, as I think it's really usefull. The language we study at school differs from the language that's spoken in GB or USA. That's why communication with americans, for example, becomes complicated. Moreover, I think that modern English is more "alive" language. It would be interesting!

In my opinion Modern English is more effective. Idioms and phrasal verbs are popular all over the world, of course it’s very useful. Moreover I like a course of Effective presentations, public speaking and speaking strategy will help us in our future. Last year we had a course of Effective presentations and it helped me a lot. Now I feel myself more confident and I may structuralize my speech) – thank you E.YU) As for me preparation for the Certificates like FCE, CAE is not so important!
I would choose Modern English for the same reason that Enkeli mentioned. And Skills - like Presentation, meetings, public speaking, because it is very useful and teaches us a lot - I mean now only how to make up the speech, but also how to behave when speaking. It's a pity that this term we have fewer classes, we could have practised more in speaking.
I wouldn't choose Certificates, as they are useless. If you know English well, you can take a short course training the structure of the exam and you will easily pass the test, but paying money for that at university - no way.
First of all I would never exclude any option...in my opinion all this parts should be well known by a man who maintaines that he or she speakes English fluently.
But speaking about personal preferences, I`d like to choose Modern English and Preparation for the diploma ))
i guess that i prefer studying morden english...for me it is good, it is good for us because we can speak because of phrasal verbs, but it is not good for our job(((((
As for me I would choose preparation for the diploma of a translator. Because I'm really intrested in speaking english fluently and learning language profoundly. I'd like to know the basis,the framework
and to fill it with skills, words and so on. I think that this lessons should include some part of modern english and special skills. It's impossible to avoid this if you want to be a good interpreter. And I'd like to say that for me that's a little bit useless take only modern english if you don't go abroad tomorrow. Because the language is changing and some idioms and phrases became old. I think that modern expressions and slang are the most simple thing to learn if you work with foreignes as an interpreter.
Hmmmm... As for me I think that all of these points are useful but I would choose Modern English and Skills in English. To my mind these ways of study are more important for us: the first one because the grammar as well as the phraseology is the most necessary thing when you learn some foreign language and it's impossible to communicate with native people without knowledge about it. And the second one is very useful because all of us must be able to speak in public and must do it well. I think everybody is always nervous because of public presentations and speechs and of course such a course of Effective presentations is a great idea. (Besides in our profession good public speaking is an obligatory thing and even a key to success!)
And the most terrible for me is Business English because it is too difficult and boring.
I agree with Wild cherry saying that everything in the list is important to know for fluent English. We don't know exactly what knowledge we will need in the future. I would choose Modern English, Business English and may be a General for certificates (I think an extra preparations for some exam is very useful)))
I don't understand anything
