Монологи на огэ по английскому говорение. Вопросы звучат только один раз! Практическое выполнение заданий

Здравствуйте, коллеги!

Задалась я тут вопросом, как примерно должен выглядеть текст устного монологического высказывания из задания №3 в устной части ОГЭ по английскому. Пыталась найти в интернете образцы, но ничего путного не могла найти. В итоге, решила составить сама.

Как вы уже знаете из демоверсии 2016 (скачать , кто ещё её не видел) в задании № 3 необходимо построить законченное связное монологическое высказывание на определённую тему с опорой на план, представленный в виде косвенных вопросов. Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты.

Итак, монологическое высказывание должно обязательно содержать

1. Вступление (вступительную фразу можно взять из самого задания)
2. По каждому пункту 3 развернутых фразы. Не забываем, что повествование должно быть логично, взаимосвязано; от пункта к пункту переходим при помощи связок.
3. Завершение

Примерно должно получиться 10-12 предложений.

Рассмотрим следующее задание:

Задание: You are going to give a talk about hobby of one of your parents, relatives or a person you know. You will have to start in 1,5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
what this hobby is
whether this hobby is popular with people in other countries
whether you would like to take up this hobby and why
You have to talk continuously.

I’m going to tell you about a hobby of my dad. A hobby is an activity which you enjoy doing in your free time.
I’m sure, everybody has a hobby. As for my Dad , he’s fond of collecting. He’s been collecting stamps from different countries for thirty years. His collection is rather large.
No doubt , this hobby is popular with people in other countries. Some collectors can boast of having rare or old stamps in their albums. Now many people collect stamps from the postcards they receive doing postcrossing.
In my view , collecting stamps is a great idea. I’m eager to take it up. I think collecting stamps helps to learn more interesting information about different countries.
I hope I’ll be able to realize my dream.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

В качестве помощников я выбрала для себя три книги, где есть раздел по устной части в новом формате демоверсии 2016.

На книжном рынке много литературы по ОГЭ, но не все они подходят под новый формат экзамена и только данные книги оправдывают своё название ОГЭ по английскому 2016.

    Приветствую, мои дорогие читатели.

    Я знаю, что русскоговорящих школьников безумно пугает сдача устных экзаменов. А устная часть ОГЭ по английскому языку кажется совершенно невыполнимой (не говоря уже о ). Но поверьте мне, правильная и своевременная подготовка - все что нужно, чтобы высший балл на тесте вам был беспечен. Поэтому сегодня нас ждет полный разбор устной части, а также примеры заданий с ответами.

    Что это такое и что изменилось за последние годы

    Устная часть тестирования на занимает всего 6 минут! Но за 6 минут вы должны показать все, на что способны. Вас проверят на все: на произношение и скорость речи, на способность понимать вопросы и давать быстрый и четкий ответ на них, на ваше умение вести неподготовленную речь на протяжении 2 минут.

    С 2016 года структура устной части в корне изменилась. Вам придется справляться не с двумя, а с целыми тремя заданиями: нужно будет прочитать текст вслух, ответить на вопросы диалога, а также сделать монолог на основе картинки (а, возможно, и без нее в этом году!). Кажется, все совершенно отличается от того, что было всего 3-4 года назад.

    Из чего состоит и как проходит

    Устная часть состоит, как я уже говорила, из 3 частей, которые суммарно по времени занимают 15 минут, из которых 6 минут идут непосредственно на ответ, а остальное - на подготовку.

    А вы знали, что при регулярных занятиях 2 раза в неделю с толковым репетитором, уровень вашей готовности к экзамену через 8 месяцев возрастает примерно на 20-30%??? Если вам важен высокий балл, то очень рекомендую хорошего репетитора, которого вам помогут подобрать в EnglishDom .

    • Часть 1 - чтение отрывка текста.

    Задание кажется несложным, правда? Особенно, если учесть, что предварительно вам дается 1,5 минуты на прочтение. А после этого - еще 2 минуты на прочтение вслух. Читать вы должны четко, понятно, с корректным произношением звуков и правильными интонациями. И у вас есть всего 5 шансов на ошибку. После этого - баллы снижают (то есть вы получите 1 или 0 баллов из 2 возможных !).

    Давайте разберем пример (щелкните мышкой по картинке для увеличения).

    В первую очередь, обратите внимание на чтение долгих и коротких звуков. Красным цветом я подчеркнула слова с долгим и коротким [i].

    di fferent, li ved, hi dden, — здесь ударные звуки читаются как короткие

    peo ple, belie ved, nee ded, — а здесь они читаются как долгие

    Синим цветом я подчеркнула слова, в которых есть короткий и долгий [u]

    roo m, too ls — здесь звук долгий

    coul d, pu t — здесь он короткий

    Зеленым цветом я выделила слова, где можно заметить звук [a], но опять же по долготе они будут отличаться:

    dar k — долгий звук

    hu nters — короткий звук

    Очень важным моментом здесь является правильное произношение межзубных звуков (слова в тексте подчеркнуты желтым ), которые дети так часто любят заменять русскими [в, ф] или .

    sympath etic, th ey - язык зажали зубами и вперед!

    В желтые рамки я поместила фразы на которых хочу показать различия в интонациях. В первом случае мы видим специальный вопрос — а в таких типах вопросов интонация должна быть нисходящей, другими словами, она должна падать. Послушайте

    Вторая фраза — вводная конструкция, которую, во-первых, необходимо отделить от остальной части предложения паузой, а во-вторых, прочитать с восходящей интонацией. Послушайте.

    Надеюсь, вы услышали разницу! Соблюдайте , дорогие мои, и оценивающие ваш ответ с большим удовольствием поставят вам высший балл!

    • Часть 2 - ответы на вопросы.

    Задание этой части - диалог, где вам придется ответить на 6 вопросов . Эта часть теста создана для того, чтобы проверить, насколько быстро, правильно и грамотно студент может использовать иностранную речь.

    За каждый ответ на вопрос вы можете получить по 1 баллу . Если же вы отвечаете слишком коротко там, где требуются раскрытые ответы, или делаете много ошибок - вы не получаете свой балл за ответ.

    Что я могу вам посоветовать - так это выучить парочку клише для тех ответов, где потребуется выразить свое мнение или дать совет. Например:

    In my opinion … - По моему мнению…

    From my point of view… - C моей точки зрения

    I reckon … - Я считаю …

    I advise … - Я советую…

    You d better do … — Вам лучше сделать…

    You should do. ... Вам стоит делать...

    Кроме этого, важно — отвечать четко, не уходя в дебри и соблюдать грамматические правила!

    Итак, пример задания в формате вопрос-ответ:

    How old are you?

    I"m 15 years old.

    What"s your hobby and why are you interested in it?

    - My hobby is swimming. I"m interested in it because I adore swimming — it makes me cheerful and confident.

    How much time a week do you spend on your hobby?

    - As a rule, I spend on it about 4 hours a week.

    What hobbies are the most popular with teenagers nowadays?

    - From my point of view the most popular hobbies with teenagers now are computer games and some extreme sports like snowboarding.

    Why do you think people take up hobbies?

    - In my opinion people take up hobbies in order to find new friends, to get some new skills and just to feel happier.

    What would you advise a person who wants to start a hobby?

    You should find a hobby which will give you pleasure. If I were you I would go to the nearest sports club and find out what they offer...

    • Часть 3 - монолог на основе картинки.

    На подготовку этого задания вам дадут 1,5 минуты, а на выполнение - 2 минуты. Перед глазами у вас будет картинка (но она нужна лишь для опоры, а не для описания! ), и вопросы, на которые требуется дать ответ. Это задание сложное, скажу честно, но и оценивается оно в целых 7 баллов.

    Примечание: в 2018 году картинку планируется убрать и оставить только вопросы.

    Давайте посмотрим пример:

    -Why people like travelling.

    -What way of travelling you prefer and why.

    -Whether you prefer to be a package tourist or to be a backpacking traveler. Why.

    Мой ответ был бы следующим:

    «And now I am going to talk about travelling.

    People may travel for different reasons. For one group of people it may be the chance to spend their vacation at a completely different place from the one they are used to. For others it may be the way of living - their lifestyle.

    Personally I prefer sight-seeing type of travelling. As I am keen on history I cannot stand the idea of not visiting all the historical places in Europe or Asia. What is more, I prefer travelling by bus as it allows me to spend a lot of time on the road and think about everything I need. Besides, it is much cheaper than travelling by plane.

    According to this I may conclude that I am an absolutely backpacking traveler. The idea that you can spend one day in one city and move to another part of the country the following day appeals to me very much.

    In the end I would like to say, that travelling broadens our minds and gives us an amazing experience we will never forget. Besides, you will be left with unforgettable memories. What can be better?»

    Как готовиться

    Подготовка к устному экзамену - дело сложное. Но вот найти тренажер по нему будет не так уж сложно. Могу посоветовать вам следующих помощников:

    • «Английский язык. ОГЭ. Устная часть». Автор - Радислав Мильруд.
    • «ОГЭ-2016. Английский язык». Автор - Ю.А. Веселова.
    • Книги издательства MacMillan, посвященные этому экзамену.

    В последнее время большинство пособий и учебников для себя и своих учеников я приобретаю онлайн. Там всегда можно купить выгодно и получить быстро. Полюбившиеся мне магазины:

    Тренировочные задания в этих учебниках подобраны специально под уровень, а их количества вам хватит для практики. Что еще важно - так это то, что купить их можно в любом книжном магазине (в том числе и интернет-магазинах).

    Еще легче и, на мой взгляд, интереснее — использовать онлайн тренажер ОГЭ (ГИА) от LinguaLeo. Там же можно найти и другие качественные и реально эффективные курсы по английскому языку, которые я рекомендую всем желающим!

    Не забывайте, мои хорошие, что я постоянно делюсь новыми советами, как улучшить свой английский и как лучше подготовиться к экзамену. Подписывайтесь на рассылку моего блога и первыми получайте информацию, как преуспеть на тесте. А если у вас возникли вопросы, смело задавайте их в комментариях!

    А пока я прощаюсь.

    Задание 2 предлагает принять участие в условном диалоге-расспросе: ответить на 6 услышанных в аудиозаписи вопросов телефонного опроса.

    В задании 3 необходимо построить связное монологическое высказывание на определенную тему с опорой на план. Время на подготовку - 1,5 минуты.

    Общее время ответа одного участника ОГЭ по английскому языку (включая время на подготовку) – 15 минут. Каждое последующее задание выдается после окончания выполнения предыдущего задания. Все время ответа ведется аудиозапись. Постарайтесь полностью выполнить поставленные задачи, говорить ясно и чётко, не отходить от темы и следовать предложенному плану ответа. Так вы сможете набрать наибольшее количество баллов.

    1. Внимательно читайте инструкции к каждому заданию.
    2. Во время ожидания своей очереди хорошо произнести вслух несколько фраз или скороговорок на английском языке, чтобы услышать свой голос и «прочистить» его перед своим ответом.
    3. При ответе на 3 задание внимательно следуйте плану

    Задание 1. Чтение текста вслух .

    Task 1. You are going to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

    The ninth planet of the solar system was discovered not long ago. It happened in 1930. Scientists had been hunting for the planet for a long time. They had calculated its probable position but there was no proof that the planet really existed. It was too far away for the telescopes of that time to find it. It’s worth mentioning that the first photos of the planet were taken by a very young researcher. He was only twenty-four and had no formal education in astronomy. However he was deeply involved in the search for the ninth planet. The planet at the edge of the solar system was called Pluto, after the Roman god. The name for the planet was suggested by an 11-year-old British girl.

    Интонацию.

    Просмотрите текст бегло, постарайтесь понять, о чем идет речь. Нужно разделить предложения на смысловые фразы и соблюдать паузы. Если вы видите точку – подберите нисходящую интонацию, характерную для утверждения.Обратите внимание на предлоги, которые следуют после глаголов, чтобы понять, относится ли предлог к глаголу или к стоящему за предлогом слову. Это нужно, чтобы правильно поставить паузу между словами.

    Рабочая тетрадь является составной частью учебно-методического комплекта Enjoy English /“Английский с удовольствием” для 9-го класса. Содержание рабочей тетради тесно связано с учебником и направлено на закрепление материала, изучаемого на уроках. Рабочая тетрадь содержит упражнения, предназначенные для формирования у учащихся грамматических, лексических и орфографических навыков, а также для развития умений письменной речи, чтения и аудирования. Упражнения повышенной трудности отмечены звездочкой и выполняются по желанию. Рабочая тетрадь содержит также дополнительный комплект проверочных заданий (Test Yourself), которые не повторяют проверочные задания, вошедшие в учебник 9 класса.


    Правила произношения.

    НЕ путайте схожие по написанию и звучанию слова: since (с тех пор как) и science (наука), through (через), though (хотя) и thought (мысль, думал) и т.п.

    НЕ торопитесь и читайте текст четко – у вас будет достаточно времени, целых 2 минуты на небольшой кусочек.

    Если в тексте есть цифры, несколько раз произнесите их отдельно и вместе со стоящими рядом словами.

    Если в тексте встретились незнакомые слова, не паникуйте, а попробуйте вспомнить правила чтения сочетаний букв слова или чтение знакомых слов, с похожими сочетаниями букв. После этого обязательно проговорите текст четко от начала до конца, обращая внимание на окончания слов (часто теряется окончание множественного числа или, наоборот, оно появляется там, где его нет) и на маленькие слова типа артиклей, союзов и предлогов (при чтении они либо выпадают, либо подменяются на другие, либо ставятся там, где их нет).

    Также, готовясь к экзамену, обязательно читайте вслух на время. Желательно, чтобы при этом у вас был слушатель. Рекомендуем каждый раз записывать своё чтение на электронный носитель, чтобы потом прослушать себя и проанализировать допущенные ошибки и недочеты.

    Проблема всех времен: неправильное произношение звуков [θ, ð], которые на письме обозначаются сочетанием букв –th. (the, this, that, think, thought ). Произношение по-русски [з] и [с], неверно! Язык должен находиться между зубами.

    В предложенном тексте речь идет о недавно открытой девятой планете солнечной системы – Плутоне. В тексте встречается одна дата 1930.При чтении годов мы условно делим число на две половинки, и сначала читаем первые две цифры вместе, а затем вторые две цифры вместе. Получаетсяnineteenthirtyсоответственно. Слова, накоторыенадообратитьвнимание: scientists, position, existed, calculated, researcher, edge, suggest . Все эти слова из курса английского языка средней школы, поэтому просто надо спокойно вспомнить, как они читаются. Теперь приступайте к проговариванию текста целиком, четко артикулируйте все слова, обращая внимания на окончания и маленькие слова.

    Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты. Время на выполнение задания 2 минуты. Максимальный балл – 2.

    Задание 2. Условный диалог - расспрос .

    Task 2. You are going to take part in a telephone survey. You have to answer six questions. Give full answers to the questions.

    Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

    Tapescript for Task 2

    Electronic assistant: Hello! It’s the electronic assistant of the Dolphin Sports Club. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. We need to find out how people feel about doing sports in our region. Please answer six questions. The survey is anonymous – you don’t have to give your name. So, let’s get started.

    Electronic assistant: How old are you?

    Electronic assistant: How many times a week do you do sports? Student:_________________________

    Electronic assistant: What sport is the most popular with teenagers in your region?

    Student: ________________________

    Electronic assistant: What sports facilities are available in the place where you live?

    Student: _________________________

    Electronic assistant: Why do you think it is important to keep fit?

    Student: ________________________

    Electronic assistant: What would you advise a person who wants to keep fit?

    Student: ________________________

    Просмотрите диалог. Постарайтесь понять в чем заключается каждый вопрос и выделить ключевые слова. Ответ на вопрос должен быть полным. Нельзя начинать ответ со слова because . Обратите внимание на то, что ответ должен использовать ту же грамматическую форму, что и вопрос. Ответ должен быть построен грамматически верно (правильный порядок слов в предложении, замена anyна someв ответе и т.д.) и по смыслу соответствовать тому, на что вас просят ответить. Обратите внимание на произношение - если слова произнесены неверно и это мешает пониманию ответа, то ответ засчитан не будет. Если при записи ответ произнесен слишком быстро, то достаточно сложно выжидать оставшееся время до следующего ответа. К сожалению, иногда учащиеся начинают нервничать и исправлять правильный ответ на неправильный. Не забывайте, что засчитывается ваш последний вариант ответа, даже если в первый раз вы сказали правильно!

    Согласно заданию, нам необходимо ответить на вопросы сотрудника спортивного центра. Постарайтесь представить ситуацию, где вы на самом деле принимаете участие в опросе и отвечаете на вопросы по пунктам, предложенным в задании – о чем бы вы хотели рассказать, как бы этот ответ прозвучал в реальной жизни? Если ваш ответ отрицательный, то вам необходимо обосновать ответ, используя такие слова как because, that is why etc.

    Возможные ответы .

    Electronic assistant: How old are you?

    Student: I’m 14 years old. / I’m 14. / I’ve turned out 14 recently.

    Electronic assistant: How many times a week do you do sports ?

    Student:I do sports twice a week. / I go to the gym three times a week. / I do gymnastics three times a week. / I play football with my friends once a week.

    Electronic assistant: What sport is the most popular with teenagers in your region?

    Student: The most popular sport in my region is football/baseball/basketball etc. / Among teenagers it’s popular to go snowboarding in Moscow.

    Electronic assistant: What sports facilities are available in the place where you live?

    Student: There are a lot of sports facilities next to my house, for example: a sport center, a gym, an ice rink, a football pitch and even sports training devices. / In the place I live there are...

    Electronic assistant: Why do you think it is important to keep fit ?

    Student:I guess / I suppose / To my mind / In my opinion / I consider / I believe / I think / I suggest / As far as I am concerned / being fit is important to stay healthy. / There are many reasons to keep / to stay fit: … / It’s important to keep fit because…

    Electronic assistant: What would you advise a person who wants to keep fit?

    Student: If I wanted to keep fit I would… / I would advise a person who wants to keep fit to… / I would tell him/her that it’s important not only to do sports but also eat healthy food.

    Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

    Время на выполнение задания 4 минуты. Максимальный балл – 6. Помните, что у вас есть 40 секунд, чтобы ответить на каждый вопрос.

    Well, I am going to give a talk about photography.

    To begin with,I’d like to say that people have always wanted beautiful moments of life to last forever. Photography helps them to make it happen.

    People like taking pictures for a number of reasons. As I have just mentioned, people want to save beautiful moments of life forever. For example, while visiting an exotic country, you see lots of things that don’t exist in your own area. You never see a coconut tree in Siberia and heaps of snow somewhere in the south. Why not to take a picture? In addition to it, people take pictures not only for fun but also for fixing details of an occurrence. It is often the case when pictures help to investigate a crime.

    It is really a fact that taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past. The main reason is that taking photos has become much easier today. You just take a smartphone, click it and you’ve got it. It has also become easier to share photos with friends. You can upload themon your profile in a social net and let everyone see it.

    As for me, I like taking photos very much. Frankly speaking, I have many good photos, but the best one was taken last year in the Altai Mountains. My friends and I reached the top of the mountain and took a picture. The picture is just awesome! When I look at it, I admire wonderful nature and remember my friends.

    In conclusion, I’d like to say that taking pictures is a never-ending hobby, which will carry away more and more people.

    1. Монолог “Keeping fit”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about keeping fit. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak

    ∙ why a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays;
    ∙ what you do to keep fit;
    ∙ what sports activities are popular with teenagers in your region.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, now I’m going to give a talk about keeping fit and healthy lifestyle.
    Healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular nowadays. There is a number of reasons for that but
    the most important reason is that people live under the press of different problems, such as social,
    ecological, economic and others. A person should be strong and healthy in order to overcome all
    difficulties. Healthy lifestyle helps people do that.
    As for me, I try to keep fit in different ways. First of all, I do my morning exercises every day. In addition
    to it, I go to the swimming pool once or sometimes twice a week. Also, I stay away from bad habits,
    because I’m convinced that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs destroy both body and brain.
    Well, as to other teenagers of my region, I should say that they are interested in different sports activities.
    They often play football and other active games on sports grounds, go to gyms and swimming pools.
    Besides, more and more young men become interested in martial arts, such as karate, boxing, kickboxing,
    judo and so on.
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that healthy lifestyle is a “must” for modern people.
    2. Монолог “My school”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak
    for not more than 2 minutes. Remember to say:
    ∙ what you like most about your school;
    ∙ what weekday you find the most difficult, and why;
    ∙ what you would like to change in your school life.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ

    Well, now I’m going to give a talk about my school.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that my school is one of the biggest schools in my city,
    where more than one thousand pupils get their education.
    I like my school very much, but it is my classmates that I like best of all. We are all
    good friends and get on well with each other. We spend much time together doing
    sports, playing active games and so on.
    As for weekdays, I find Monday the most difficult one because we have six lessons
    on this day, including Mathematics and Physics. Frankly speaking, I’m not good at
    these subjects, and I don’t enjoy these lessons.
    In my opinion, much can be changed and improved in my school. For example, PE
    lessons. I’d like them to be more diverse. As a rule, we play volleyball and
    basketball at the lessons, or simply run on the stadium. It would be better if we had
    a chance to work out with weights and play games that are more interesting .
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that school education is very important
    for teenagers and should help them build character and develop mind.
    3. Монолог “Foreign languages”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about foreign languages. You will have to
    start in 1.5 minutes
    Remember to say:
    · why lots of people learn foreign languages nowadays;
    · why you have chosen to do the English exam this year;
    · what you did to prepare for your English exam.
    Примерный ответ
    To begin with, I’d like to say that more and more people learn foreign languages
    nowadays. They do it for a number of reasons. In the first place, people want to
    understand citizens of other countries and to be understood by them. In addition to
    it, travelling has become easier, and the Russians have a variety of opportunities for
    going abroad. If you are fluent in a foreign language, you feel more confident.
    It goes without saying that English is established as the most important and popular
    language. As for me, I have been learning English for 5 years. And this year I have
    chosen to do the English exam. I regard this exam as a chance to test my language
    skills. I have always wanted to know my real speaking skills and find out my
    strengths and weaknesses.
    I did much work to prepare for my English exam. First of all, I revised grammar. I
    learned a lot of rules and consolidated them in doing exercises. In addition to it, I
    read texts of various genres to enlarge my vocabulary. I also listened to a number of

    radio programmes and podcasts to make my listening better. And I also made
    efforts to improve my speaking. I used every chance to speak English at the lessons
    and at home.
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that English is in great demand these
    days, so I recommend everybody to start learning it as soon as possible and commit
    to it.
    4.Монолог “Pets”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will

    Remember to say:
    · why people keep pets;
    · what pets are most popular in big cities;
    · whether having pets is a big responsibility, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, I am going to give a talk about pets.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that nowadays more and more people keep pets in their
    houses: cats, dogs, parrots, hamsters, guinea pigs, and so on. They do it for a
    number of reasons. In the first place, people seek to make friends, and pets are a
    kind of friends they can make fast and easily. Besides, pets give positive emotions,
    that’s why people like to keep them. If you are under stress, you can just stroke
    your cat and feel somewhat relieved.
    As to the most popular pets in big cities, I should say it depends. If you live in a big
    city, a cat or a small dog would be the best option. Firstly, they don’t need
    extensive space to live on. Secondly, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on
    buying pet food. If you live in the country, you can choose whatever you want.
    There is always plenty of room and food for any pet here.
    Anyway, having pets is a big responsibility. Pets are animate objects, and if you
    don’t take good care of them, they may fall sick and even die.
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that pets play an important part in our
    life and we should be aware of both pluses and minuses of keeping them.

    5.Монолог “The Internet”
    Задание
    and
    Remember to say:
    · why today’s teenagers use the Internet so much;
    · how the Internet makes long-distance communication easier;
    · what dangers teenagers can face when they use the Internet.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Задание (вариант 2)
    You are going to give a talk about the Internet. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes
    and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:
    · why using the Internet is so popular;
    · how the Internet can help students in their studies;
    · whether the Internet can be dangerous, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    To begin with, I’d like to say that we live in the world of modern technologies. We
    are surrounded by lots of sophisticated gadgets: smartphones, iPhones, notebooks,
    netbooks, laptops. They are very useful because they have practically unlimited
    functionality. But it is the connection to the Internet that makes them useful to the
    max.
    Today the Internet is exceedingly popular and used very much, especially by
    teenagers. They do it for a number of reasons. Firsty, they create their profiles on
    different social nets such as vkontakte, odnoklassniki, facebook, instagram and
    others. Young people like communicating with each other, and the social nets give
    them this opportunity. Secondly, the Internet is a depot of innumerable information,
    so teenagers use the internet as a source of answers for various questions. So, the
    Internet helps students in their studies. Whether they need to make a report or
    prepare for a test, they launch a browser, type in the request and get lots of pages
    according to the request.

    Besides, the Internet makes long-distance communication easier. There are special
    programs for communcation of this kind. One of them is Skype, which is sure to be
    the most popular programm. You can see and hear the person whom you are talking
    to.
    Frankly speaking, the Internet is not as safe as you wish it were. Firstly, the spread
    of information is uncontrolled on the Internet, so teenagers often run into dangerous
    pages containing information about selling drugs or committing a suicide. I strongly
    believe that this information must be banned.
    In conlcusion I’d like to say that if you follow the safety rules when using the
    Internet you are not endangered, and you can use the Internet to your advantage as
    much as possible.
    6.Монолог “Holidays”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about holidays. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and
    will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:
    · what holidays are most popular in your country;
    · what your favourite holiday is and how you celebrate it;
    · if you prefer to give presents or to get presents, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Задание (вариант 2)
    You are going to give a talk about public holidays in Russia. You will have to start in
    1.5
    Remember to say:
    · what public holidays are celebrated in Russia;
    · what your favourite public holiday is, and why you like it;
    · how your favourite public holiday is celebrated in your city, town or village.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, now I’m going to talk about holidays.
    To begin with, holidays play an important part in our life. Holidays give us an
    opportunity to rest and relax, they also improve our mood and make us happier.

    Our country has a number of (public) holidays. The most popular are New Year, the
    8th of March (the women’s day), Spring and Labour Day, Victory Day, Russia Day,
    and others. All these holidays are very important for every citizen of the Russian
    Federation.
    My favorite (public) holiday is New Year because this is a special occasion. It is not
    only an opportunity to relax but also to think about how you lived the past year and
    make plans for the next one. In addition to it, New Year is a reunion for the whole
    family of ours, so we always look forward to it.
    My family established its own way of celebrating New Year. In the evening we visit
    our best friends who live next door and have some time together. Then, at midnight,
    we come back home and have our celebratory meal. We usually watch TV shows,
    listen to music, fool around, and, of course, give each other presents.
    As for me, I like both giving presents and getting them. Both actions are very
    enjoying. But honestly speaking, I like getting presents more because now I don’t
    have enough money for giving them.
    Staying at home with your family is not the only way to celebrate New Year. You can
    visit city celebrations which include fairs, contests, concerts, and fireworks. The
    culmination of the New Year celebration in our city is setting up fireworks. It is just
    awesome!
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that every holiday is a great time, and I
    wish there were as many holidays as possible.
    7. Монолог “Travelling”
    Задание
    and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:
    · why most people like travelling;
    · which season is the best for travelling in your opinion;
    · what means of transport is the best, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Задание (вариант 2)
    You are going to give a talk about travelling. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes
    and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:

    · why most people enjoy travelling;
    · what people like doing while travelling;
    · what place you would like to go to, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Nowadays, people have a great variety to rest and relax: going to the cinema,
    playing sports, and so on. But the most popular option remains travelling.
    People like travelling for a number of reasons. Firstly, travelling is a good way to
    focus away from work and study and, so to say, to recharge batteries. I mean
    people can replenish their inner supplies of energy and refresh emotions. Secondly,
    travelling is a good way to broaden the mind and gain knowledge. If you go to a
    foreign country, you can learn its customs and traditions, see the sights, make
    friends with local citizens.
    While travelling, people like to do different things. It depends upon the place and
    purpose of your visit. If you travel to a resort town, you usually swim in the sea and
    bake in the sun. If you travel on business, you’re supposed to establish contacts,
    carry on talks, making contracts, and so on. If you travel for educational reasons,
    you attend lessons, go on excursions, gain knowledge and develop your skills.
    In my opinion, summer is the best season for travelling. Most adults are on leave in
    this period and children have holidays, that’s why summer is the optimal time when
    you can start on a journey.
    As to means of transport, each one has its pluses and minuses. If you travel by
    train, you can admire beautiful landscapes and you feel safe. But it takes more time
    to get to the destination. Travelling by plane saves time but deprives you the
    chance to enjoy the nature outside, and what is more, fills you with misgivings
    about the flight.
    As to me, I have already travelled to many places, but my dream is to visit Tokyo.
    This is the place I would like to go to because it is one of the world leaders in
    business, culture, science and technology. Besides, I plan to learn Japanese in the
    future, so, visiting Japan can help me to do that.
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that travelling plays an important part in
    our life and everybody should travel as much as possible.
    8.Монолог “Career plans”
    Задание

    You are going to give a talk about your career plans. You will have to start in 1.5
    minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:
    · what job you want to do in the future;
    · what two subjects you think are the most important for your future job, and why;
    · whether your family approve of your career choice or not.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    All people have to work in order to make a living. It is very important that a person
    has a job according to his or her abilities and wishes.
    As for me, I’d like to be an interpreter in the future. I like foreign languages very
    much, and, frankly speaking, I’m very good at them. Nowadays, I do my best to
    learn English and Spanish because they are the languages that are widely spoken
    and popular with lots of people.
    I think that English and Geography are the most important subjects for my future
    job. They are two subjects that help me learn much about other countries, their
    customs and traditions. English and Geography also help me understand native
    people of other countries, respect their culture and communicate with them in the
    most effective way.
    All the members of my family approve my career choice because they strongly
    believe that interpreting is an exciting and well-paid job. Frankly speaking, my
    family just want me to be happy and they support any decision of mine.
    In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that every teenager shouldn’t
    procrastinate in deciding about his or her job because a successful career requires
    much time and efforts.
    9 Монолог “Books”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about books. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and
    will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:

    · whether reading is still popular with teenagers, and why, or why not;
    · what kind of books you like reading;
    · why many people prefer e-books to paper books.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, I am going to give a talk about books.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that there are a lot of ways to spend free time: doing
    sports, watching TV, going to the cinema, playing games, and so on. And, of course,
    you can just read a book.
    Frankly speaking, reading books is losing its popularity with teenagers making way
    for more exciting activities, such as watching blockbasters in 3-D, playing computer
    games, social networking, arranging parties. If a teenager has to choose between
    reading a book and playing a brand new computer game, he or she will definitly
    show preference for the game. Modern games excel books in all aspects. Firstly,
    modern games make a tremendous visual impact. The game world looks extremely
    realistic. Secondly, when playing a game, you are not an outsider. You are an active
    insider participating in everything that happens in the game world.
    As for me, I have to confess that I am not only a gamer, but also a regular reader.
    Yes, I like reading very much! Science fiction is my favourite kind of literature
    because it gives a different view of our reality. It doesn’t present our world as it is
    but as it could be. I think that science fiction is much deeper than, say, detective
    stories. The problems science fiction deals with are more global and serious.
    If you take a more closer look at reading people, you will notice that they usualy
    read e-books. There is a number of reasons why many people prefer e-books to
    paper books. The main reason is that you can download unlimited e-books for free
    from the Internet. In addition to it, e-books are much comfortable to read. There is a
    variety of devices that can open e-books: computers, tablets, smartphones.
    In conclusion, I’d like to say that modern world is full of exciting things like sports,
    TV, parties and so on. Nevertheless, books shouldn’t be forgotten.
    10. Монолог “School homework”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about your school homework. You will have to start in

    Remember to say:
    · how long it takes you to do your homework;
    · what subject you usually start with, and why;
    · whether schoolchildren should be given more or less homework, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, I am going to give a talk about my school homework.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that school homework is an essential part of school
    education. Almost everyone who goes to school is given hometasks.
    As for me, duration of doing my homework depends on many factors. For example,
    our teachers of Literature and History are in the habit of giving a lot of homework,
    which involves reading many pages of textbooks, writing synopses, making
    presentations, and so on. If you are not ready with all this stuff, you get a bad mark.
    As I don’t want to get bad marks, I have to spend long hours to prepare for the
    lessons. It may take me 3 or even 4 hours to finish the school homework. But to tell
    the truth, there are teachers who spare pupils’ time and don’t give much work. They
    organize their lessons so that there is little left for home.
    As to sequence of subjects, I usualy start with Literature because this is the most
    voluminous subject including many works of fiction, critique, philosophy, and the
    like. I prefer to get rid of the most boring subject in the first place and then start
    doing something that is more interesting.
    I strongly believe that schoolchildren should be given less homework. I don’t
    understand teachers who give their pupils too much homework and are sure that
    they do them good. Teachers should know that our brain can effectively process a
    limited amount of information. The rest of information vanishes into thin air. If you
    keep trying to remember everything you are given by teachers, you will most likely
    go crazy.
    In conclusion, I’d like to appeal to teachers and make them remember their own
    school life. Teachers schould never forget that they were pupils in the past and, like
    today’s young people, had difficulties with the homework.
    11 Монолог “TV”

    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will
    speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:
    · whether watching TV is still a popular pastime with teenagers, and why, or why
    not;
    · how many hours a week you watch TV;
    · what you dislike most about TV.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, I am going to give a talk about TV.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that TV is one of the greatest enventions of all times. It
    is impossible to imagine days when people lived without TV.
    In my opinion, watching TV is losing its popularity with teenagers. The reason is that
    teenagers prefer the Internet to TV. Not long ago, TV used to be the main source of
    information and entertainment. It is no longer the case. Now, if you want to know
    what is happening in the world, you launch a browser, do some clicks and get
    innumerable quantity of information. If you want to watch something entertaining,
    you don’t need TV. There are lots of youtube channels providing clips, shows,
    interviews with celebrities, and the like. You can start watching a video, pause it for
    any time and then start again. You can’t do the same trick with television.
    As for me, I don’t watch TV very often. I usually do it when new episodes of my
    favourite serials appear. So, I watch TV approximately 3 of 4 hours a week.
    Sometimes it happens that there are no new episodes of my favourite serials, so I
    spend no time at all.
    There are a lot of things I dislike about TV. But endless blocks of commercials drive
    me really crazy! It goes without saying that advertising gives money for producing
    new content, but there should be some limits to advertising.
    In conclusion, I’d like to acknowledge great importance of television, but at the
    same time, I’d like to state the fact that TV gradually abandons its absolute position
    making way for the Internet.
    12 Монолог “Free time”
    Задание

    You are going to give a talk about your free time. You will have to start in 1.5
    minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:
    · whether you have a lot of free time, and why, or why not;
    · what you enjoy doing in your free time;
    · what your Sunday afternoons are like.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, I am going to give a talk about my free time.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that people have to work more and more in the modern
    world to make a career, earn a living, and become succesful. This also holds true for
    teenagers, beacause they have to study a lot. So, both adults and teenagers don’t
    have much free time.
    As for me, I don’t have much free time either, because I am faced with a number of
    important exams this year. As I don’t want to fail them, I make every effort to learn
    the necessary material. I read a lot of textbooks and additional articles, do
    innumerable exercises, attend preparation courses, and so on.
    In spite of the fact that I have to work a lot, I try to find some time for recreation
    and fun. Frankly speaking, I enjoy doing many things in my free time. I like to take
    walks, come to see my friends, watch TV, surf the Internet, and so on. My favourite
    pastime is going to a swimming pool. I am keen on having a healthy lifestyle, and
    swimming helps me to keep fit.
    As to my Sunday afternoons, I should confess that they are just for doing nothing
    active. I usually take my tablet, sink into the sofa, and watch videos on youtube or
    communicate in social nets. Sunday afternoons are the period when I don’t overload
    myself with activities, because I need to collect my strength for Monday, which is
    my busiest weekday.
    In conclusion, I’d like to say that it is very important to not only have free time but
    also give it to your hobbies and interests.
    13 Монолог “Weather and seasons”
    Задание
    You are going to give a talk about weather and seasons. You will have to start in 1.5
    minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
    Remember to say:

    · which of the four seasons you like most, and why;
    · how the Earth’s climate has changed recently;
    · whether you trust the weather forecast, and why.
    You have to talk continuously.
    Примерный ответ
    Well, I am going to give a talk about weather and seasons.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that there are four seasons in a year: winter, spring,
    summer, and autumn.
    As for me, I like summer most of all, because this is the period when we have
    vacations. And vacations mean freedom. Absolutely! We have no need to get up
    early and be in a hurry to leave for school. It is not necessary to spend long hours
    doing school homework. The only thing we have to do in summer is relaxing to the
    max. In addition to it, the weather is awesome in summer! As a rule, it is warm and
    sunny.
    By the way, the Earth’s climate has changed recently. If you take a closer look at
    what’s happening in the world, you see natural phenomena that never took place
    before. Melting arctic ice is one of numerous examples. It gradually fills the ocean
    with huge amounts of additional water that makes the water level higher and
    causes ecological disasters. In addition to it, mass media often give information
    about disastrous hurricanes and severe droughts that occur in unexpected time and
    place.
    As to the weather forecast, I don’t trust it if it is given for the longer period of time. I
    don’t believe that man can predict what is going to be in a week or fortnight.
    Nevertheless, I think that the weather forecast for one or two days is most likely to
    be correct, and you should trust it.
    In conclusion, I’d like to say that weather is an interesting subject, which is worth
    studying and paying attention to.

    Well, I am going to give a talk about photography.
    To begin with, I’d like to say that people have always wanted beautiful moments of
    life to last forever. Photography helps them to make it happen.
    People like taking pictures for a number of reasons. As I have just mentioned,
    people want to save beautiful moments of life forever. For example, while visiting an
    exotic country, you see lots of things that don’t exist in your own area. You never
    see a coconut tree in Siberia and heaps of snow somewhere in the south. Why not
    to take a picture? In addition to it, people take pictures not only for fun but also for
    fixing details of an occurrence. It is often the case when pictures help to investigate
    a crime.
    It is really a fact that taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past.
    The main reason is that taking photos has become much easier today. You just take
    a smartphone, do a click and that’s it. It has also become easier to share photos
    with friends. You can upload it on your profile in a social net and let everyone see it.
    As for me, I like taking photos very much. Frankly speaking, I have many good
    photos, but the best one was taken last year in the Altai Mountains. My friends and I
    effected an ascent of a mountain and took a picture on the very top of it. The
    picture is just awesome! When I look at it, I admire wonderful nature and remember
    my friends.
    In conclusion, I’d like to say that taking pictures is a never-ending hobby, which will
    carry away more and more people.
