Аннотация. Статья предлагает материал по одной из наиболее сложных и, тем не менее, слабо освещенной в школьном курсе английского языка теме - «Инверсия». Предлагаемый комплекс упражнений предусматривает различные виды заданий на отработку данного грамматического явления в разнообразных контекстах и предназначен для учащихся старших классов, а также для лиц, углубленно занимающихся английским языком.
Ключевые слова: английский язык, комплекс упражнений, инверсия.
Раздел: (01) педагогика; история педагогики и образования; теория и методика обучения и воспитания (по предметным областям).
В современном поликультурном мире инструментом общения представителей различных культур выступает коммуникативная иноязычная компетенция. Одним из ее компонентов является умение говорящего выражать свои мысли, адекватно используя разнообразные языковые средства с целью выделения релевантной информации [1]. Экспрессия в языке может иметь место во всех языковых формах: в фонетике, грамматике, лексике, а также в словообразовании и т. д., но в данной публикации мы остановимся на инверсии.
Инверсией в английском языке называется вынос в начало предложения логически выделенного слова или фразы, в результате чего сказуемое ставится перед подлежащим. Инверсия в английском языке имеет несколько функций. Грамматическая функция проявляется в различении коммуникативных типов предложений. Логическая функция заключается в выделении в речи того или иного слова для указания его значимости в предложении; экспрессивная - в выделении всего высказывания в целом для придания ему эмоциональной окраски. Связующая (дискурсивная) функция инверсии необходима для выражения непрерывности мысли в предложениях, следующих одно за другим.
Таким образом, использование инверсии значительно расширяет возможности как говорящего, способствуя достижению им цели своего высказывания, так и слушателя, помогая ему понять истинный смысл сообщения [2]. Вместе с тем на сегодняшний день школьная программа по английскому языку не предусматривает специального изучения темы «Инверсия» и, следовательно, вопросы обучения экспрессивной речи являются недостаточно методически разработанными.
Важность рассматриваемой проблемы послужила основанием для составления лексико-грамматических упражнений, направленных на поэтапное освоение материала: от языковых заданий к речевым. Представленные упражнения охватывают широ-

кий спектр форматов (сопоставление, заполнение пропусков, исправление ошибок, множественный выбор, трансформация, составление предложений, перевод, творческие упражнения), что позволяет рассматривать их как комплекс, достаточный для проведения серии уроков в школе или самостоятельной работы школьников дома.
При организации работы в классе учителю необходимо обратить особое внимание на следующие специфические трудности усвоения темы «Инверсия». Хотя инверсия - это нарушение общепринятого порядка слов, случаи ее употребления ограничены жесткими рамками, поэтому следует предостеречь учащихся от использования свободного порядка слов в своей речи. Инверсия бывает полной и частичной: при полной инверсии все сказуемое стоит перед подлежащим, при частичной -лишь его часть (вспомогательный или модальный глагол), а смысловой глагол - после него. Кроме того, в ряде случаев, например в предложениях, начинающихся с наречия времени со словом only, с обстоятельства, имеющего отрицательное значение, инвертированный порядок слов употребляется в главной части сложносочиненного предложения. Также отметим, что если подлежащее предложения выражено личным местоимением, то сказуемое в некоторых случаях может ставиться перед подлежащим, в других же случаях это совершенно недопустимо.
Желательно также подчеркнуть, что некоторые инвертированные предложения характерны для официальной речи, другие чаще встречаются в разговорной речи, поэтому первые уместно использовать при написании эссе, а вторые - при устном ответе [3]. При сдаче ЕГЭ это грамматическое явление обязательно привлечёт к себе внимание экзаменаторов и будет по достоинству оценено ими.
Более подробную информацию по теме можно найти в учебниках практической грамматики, указанных в списке источников [4-7]. В конце статьи мы также прилагаем ключи к большинству языковых и условно-речевых упражнений.

Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her old car as did a woman half her age drove. She loved driving very fast and boasted of the fact that she never, in her thirty-five years of driving, had she been punished for not a driving offence.
Little did she could think that one day she might lose her record. There was a police car following after her, and the policemen in it saw that her pass a red light without stopping. Hardly had Mrs. Jones been come before the judge, when he looked at her severely and said that she was too much old to drive a car. Hadn’t her eyes become weak with old age, then she would have seen the red light. It was the reason why she had not stopped nearby at it.
No sooner had the judge finished what he was being saying, than Mrs. Jones opened the big handbag she was carrying with. In the bag lay there her sewing. Out came a needle with a very small eye; then came fine floss. Not any a word did the woman utter to repudiate the charges. It was at the her first attempt that she threaded the needle. Well did Mrs. Jones have do this!
Barely had she demonstrated to her keen eyesight, when she took the thread from out of the needle again. Only then did she hand both and the needle and the thread to the judge. "Now it is your turn. In no other way can I concede that you don’t drive a car. Moreover, I suppose, that never in your life have you make any doubts about your own eyesight," she said.
So astonished was the judge, that did he took the needle and began to thread in it. Many a time had he tried, but still didn’t succeed. The judge didn’t know what him to do, neither did the jury. The case against Mrs. Jones was dismissed. "In under no circumstances will be my record become broken!" said the proud woman to her husband.

HOW SIMONIDES WAS SHIPWRECKED
Simonides was a great Greek poet. He was very poor; so he went from town to town in Greece and read his poems about champions of sports festivals. After some years when he had money for the journey, he decided to go back to his home.
The ship on which he travelled was very old and it was shipwrecked in a storm. The passengers jumped into the water with their bags in their hands. Simonides was carrying nothing and somebody asked him where his bags were. The poet answered that he was carrying with him all the riches which he had.
Many people died in the sea. They had their bags in their hands and could not swim well. But some of the passengers reached the land and went to the city near the coast. Their bags were in the sea now and they had no money or clothes. They walked in the streets of the city and asked people to help them.
A rich man who lived in that city knew Simonides’s poems and liked them. When he saw the poet in the street, he asked him to his house and gave him clothes and money.
When Simonides saw the people from the ship in the streets again, he said: "I told you I was carrying all my riches. They were in my head. Yon lost all your riches in the sea, but I have all my riches with me."
