THE PLACE WHERE I LIVE

I’d like to give a talk about the place where I live. It is really important for me.

To begin with, my city is famous for its short but glorious history. The first plant for building submarines was built here.

As for me the lovely city park, it is my favourite place. I like it so much because it is a quiet place. You can have a rest after a long day at school in it.

Speaking about the time when I leave school, I think that I am likely to go to Moscow to continue studying. There are many universities and also good opportunities for career growth in the capital.

All in all, I firmly believe that Severodvinsk makes my life more interesting and every time I have a chance I will return here to see my relatives and my friends. In conclusion, I would like to say that every person should love their native place and try to make it more beautiful. Thank you for listening.

LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

In my opinion, cats, dogs and parrots are the most popular pets in big cities. They are widespread because all of them can easily live within the apartment.

But it is important for all owners to keep in mind that having an animal is a big responsibility because life of the creature depends on them. They should always remember to feed, walk if necessary and play with a pet.

From my point of view, the Internet can help students in their studies. They can find the book they need without leaving home. So, they don’t need to waste their time going to the library.

But there are some dangers as well. For example, some people get addicted to the Internet and spend all time there.

From my point of view, the choice of the best season for travelling depends on your likes. For example, if you like going to the seaside you should do it in summer and if you want to go skiing it’s better to do it in winter.

To begin with, most modern teenagers don’t read at all. It seems to me, that the main reason for it is a wide choice of social networks and computer games.

As for me, I like reading science fiction books most of all because they have an unpredictable plot and contain thousands of facts about nature.

From my point of view, many people prefer e – books to paper ones because an electronic book is much more convenient than a traditional paper book. It’s easy to use because it is a small device but it contains lots of texts.

From my point of view, the Earth’s climate has recently changed very much. Winters have become quite warm and snowless and spring comes late enough.

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.

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 .

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.

Примерныйответ

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.

По сути, это ещё один из многочисленных школьных «топиков», который многие из вас наверняка не раз рассказывали на уроках английского языка в школе, поэтому особых трудностей вызывать это задание не должно. Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты, на выполнение – 2 минуты. Максимальный балл – 7.

Всего за устную часть можно получить 15 баллов. Общее время сдачи – 15-20 минут.

Рабочая тетрадь является составной частью УМК по английскому языку для 9 класса серии "Rainbow English" и соответствует ФГОС основного общего образования. Пособие предназначено для самостоятельной работы учащихся в школе и дома и содержит задания для повторения и закрепления изученного по учебнику материала. Специальными значками отмечены задания, направленные на формирование метапредметных умений и личностных качеств учащихся.

Последнее задание и ОГЭ по английскому языку, и его устной части заключается в организации монолога – высказывания по данной в задании теме и указанному в нем плану. Для подготовки к ответу дается полторы минуты, а на ответ предусмотрено две.

Важно, что ответ не должен выглядеть заученно – при его прослушивании должно создаваться впечатление, будто вы просто обсуждаете эту тему с родными или друзьями. Хорошими помощниками для этого являются слова-связки: well, so, to be honest, as I think, I believe that, without any doubt, moreover, however, by the way, actually, all in all и тому подобные.

К тексту задания прилагается фото по связанной теме – никогда не нужно заниматься его описанием, ведь оно дается просто так, для зрительной опоры. В ответе должно быть 10-12 предложений; если их будет меньше, вы потеряете баллы.

Также в монологе должны присутствовать вступительная и заключительная фразы по теме задания: к примеру, Now I’m going to talk about… и In conclusion I’d like to say that – и сделать общий краткий вывод, или же вообще That’s all that I wanted to say about…

За ответ можно получить 7 баллов. Он оценивается по нескольким критериям:

К1 – Решение коммуникативной задачи. 3 балла по этому критерию можно получить, если все пункты плана задания раскрыты, приведены развернутые ответы и грамотные аргументы.

К2 – Организация высказывания. Максимальный балл по этому критерию – 2. Его ставят, если в ответе верно применяются логические связки, присутствуют вступительная и завершающая фразы.

К3 – Языковое оформление. 2 балла ставят в том случае, если ученик в своем ответе демонстрирует богатый словарный запас и знание грамматики, допуская при этом не больше 4 негрубых ошибок.

Разбор типового варианта задания №36 ОГЭ по английскому

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.

Now I’d like to talk about weather and climate. I suppose that lots of people like summer more than other seasons because it’s warm and sunny time, but personally I enjoy winter. I think that it’s the most beautiful season because everything turns white and the view is amazing. However I see that climate is changing and this process is called Global warming. As we all notice, winter is becoming shorter while summer temperatures are becoming higher and higher. I strongly believe that all people should think more about the environment and change this situation. In my opinion, that’s a real global problem which needs solution as faster as possible. Talking about forecasts, I can say that I trust them because people who do them use special equipment and scientific methods. Of course sometimes they do mistakes, but more often their words are truth. I think that’s all I wanted to say about weather.

В нашем высказывании получилось 10 фраз. К каждому пункту плана мы привели по 2-3 развернутые фразы, подкрепленные аргументами, выражением собственного мнения. Часто используются слова-связки, присутствуют вводная и заключительная фразы.

К данному заданию также нужно начинать подготовку заранее, чтобы хорошо укладываться во время и упоминать все пункты предложенного плана, записывая ответы на диктофон – в таком случае получение 7 баллов за это задание не будет казаться чем-то невероятным.

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.

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”

Remember to say:
· why today’s teenagers use the Internet so much;

· 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”

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.

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.

· why most people like travelling;

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.
14 Монолог “Photography”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes
and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why people like taking pictures
· why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
· what the best photo you have ever taken is
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
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.
