1. The document discusses the linguistic phenomenon of "false friends" which are words that are similar in spelling or pronunciation between two languages but have completely different meanings. 2. It provides examples of false friends between Russian and English and examines the various types that exist. 3. The author conducted an experiment with classmates to test their ability to distinguish between true friends and false friends between the two languages.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],4. Sometimes even the whole idioms may be misleading. 5. False friends appear because of: coincidence, independent development of related languages, change of meaning after borrowing or parallel borrowing. 6. There are no bright signs which can help to tell the difference, between “true” and “False friends” of a translator. But there is some advice how to make it easier.
1. Better safe than sorry: don’t hurry to make a decision about the translation of a word if it resembles you a Russian one; 2. Take into account the word’s form (English adjective can’t correspond to a Russian noun: electric ≠ электрик ); 3. Think of possible words which contain the same root and can show you the true meaning of the word under question ( multiplication ≠ мультипликация , multiple = множественный -> multiplication = умножение ); 4. If you are not sure, consult a dictionary. This will guarantee you the correctness of your translation.

Take into account the word’s form (English adjective can’t correspond to a Russian noun: electric ≠ электрик ); 3.
