I will solve oge English oral part.

In a foreign language - one of the selective exams for ninth graders. Examination in this subject is chosen by many high school graduates, because the prospect of getting into a specialized linguistic class is quite tempting. Well, the future associated with the use of a foreign language as a professional tool gives a chance to ensure good earnings and a decent standard of living.

Among all foreign languages studied by modern schoolchildren, English holds the palm. This is not surprising, because it is recognized as the language of international business and diplomatic communication. Practice shows that it is not so easy to pass the OGE in this subject - for a good grade, it is not enough to memorize the basic rules and language norms.

In addition to passing a written exam, in 2018 students will demonstrate their listening skills, as well as their ability to speak English. In addition to self-preparation and work with a tutor, you should also study the features and structure of the ticket, understand how points will be awarded, and also find out what innovations can await you in 2018 CIMs!

Demo version of OGE-2018

OGE dates in English

Rosobrnadzor has already announced the approximate schedule of the OGE for 2018. Students will take a foreign language (including English) on the following dates:

April 28 (Saturday) is scheduled for early delivery of a foreign language. The reserve day will be April 30, 2018 (Tuesday);
the main OGE will be held on May 25 (Friday). The reserve day for the main OGE will be June 20, 2018 (Wednesday);
an additional day for the delivery of a foreign language will be September 14 (Friday). Booked as a reserve on September 21, 2018 (Friday).

Changes in the OGE in English

In 2018, tickets in English were not subject to changes in terms of structure and content. The subject commission reports that the only innovation was the change in the criteria by which task number 33 (writing a letter of a personal nature) will be evaluated.

What is included in the KIM OGE in English?

The main purpose of the exam is to test the ability of ninth graders to communicate in English. The commission will test your skills in understanding oral speech, the ability to speak, read and write in English. It is the OGE that will determine whether the student is ready for high school education, and will also identify students who can be recommended for grades 10-11 with a linguistic bias. The structure of the ticket can be divided into two parts:

written part - sections of the ticket from the first to the fourth. Students will demonstrate their listening comprehension skills (listening), as well as demonstrate English reading skills, writing skills and using lexical and grammatical skills. The maximum points that can be scored for this part of the KIM is 55;
oral part - consists of one section, which includes tasks from the speaking part. The maximum that can be obtained for the oral part of the ticket is 15 points.

The correct performance of all the tasks of KIM makes it possible to get 70 points.

Speaking will require not only knowledge of the rules, but also the ability to maintain a dialogue

In most tasks (namely, thirty-two), the student will be able to give a short answer to the question posed by establishing correspondences for the sets, choosing the correct answer from the provided list, filling in the gaps in the text or converting the words into the correct lexical form. Tasks with a detailed answer are writing a personal letter, reading aloud an excerpt from a popular science text, conducting a dialogue with a teacher and a monologue on a given topic. The entire ticket can be structurally divided into the following parts:

listening - includes tasks based on phrases used in everyday communication, informational texts and announcements. Each fragment sounds for about one and a half to two minutes and is played twice. The complexity of the tasks is identical to the language level A2;
reading - tasks are based on texts of a pragmatic, popular science, journalistic and artistic nature. The volume of the fragment is from 220 to 600 words. The complexity of the tasks corresponds to the language level A2;
grammar and vocabulary - tasks that will test the depth of understanding of school material and the ability to operate with it;
personal letter - writing a text of at least 100-120 words. Letters with less than 90 words will not be evaluated according to other criteria - the student will immediately receive 0 points for the entire task. It is equally dangerous to write a letter that is too large - if it contains more than 132 words, then the commission will check only the first 120 words in the work, and leave everything else unattended;
speaking - tasks involving the use of several types of vocabulary. Be prepared for the fact that you will have to use social vocabulary (talk about leisure activities, relationships with friends, hobbies, prominent cultural or scientific figures, environmental issues, etc.), as well as vocabulary from the educational and labor sphere (a dialogue is possible about the choice of a future profession or the role of a foreign language in different areas of our lives).

Regulations and features of the exam

The student will have to complete the tasks from the first four sections in 120 minutes. At the same time, the profile commission recommends the distribution of time as follows:

30 minutes for listening (section 1);
30 minutes for tasks that test reading skills (section 2);
30 minutes - to identify skills in grammar and vocabulary (section 3);
30 minutes for writing a personal letter and testing other written English skills (section 4).

15 minutes will be allotted for speaking.

Any textbooks and reference materials will have to be handed in before the start of the OGE

Students are not allowed to bring additional materials and subjects that are not related to the exam to the OGE. You can only take a pen with you. All other materials and equipment are provided by Rosobrnadzor - the classrooms will be equipped with technical means for playing audio recordings, and the speaking classes will be equipped with computers, sound recording programs and microphones necessary to record the student's answers.

How are primary scores translated into grades?

The points for the examination paper will be transferred to the usual school grading system. The translation scale looks like this:

from 0 to 28 points - "unsatisfactory" rating;
from 29 to 45 points are translated into the “satisfactory” mark and will allow you to get a certificate;
from 46 to 58 points means that the student will receive "good";
from 59 to 70 points are identical to the mark "excellent".

When students are assigned to specialized linguistic classes or enrolled in specialized lyceums, students with 56 points or more have an advantage.

Preparation for the OGE in English

Remember: none of the foreign languages, including English, can be passed with a swoop! Only a long and competent preparation for the OGE will give a chance to successfully pass this test. First, identify possible gaps in knowledge - for this you need to download and work through the demo versions of KIMs published by FIPI. Demo versions of tests, files for audition and requirements codifier can be found at the beginning of the article.

Do not forget that knowledge of the rules of the English language is absolutely useless if it is not supported by the ability to perceive speech by ear and speak a foreign language. To prepare for listening, regularly listen to audio books and English-language music, watch movies and TV series in the original dubbing (it is better not to watch videos with subtitles - a line with words will distract your attention from listening to the speech of the characters).

Take enough time to prepare for the OGE - you should start in September

Speaking is another problem for 9th grade graduates. Vocabulary, grammar and writing usually bring students good points, but when conducting a dialogue or monologue, many are lost. To practice speaking, it is worth playing everyday scenes in your head, having small dialogues with friends, sisters, brothers, moms and dads, and also describing in English the situations that have just happened to you in the cinema, supermarkets and buses.

OGE 2018 in English. oral part

The oral part of KIM OGE-2018 in English includes three tasks.

Exercise 1 involves reading aloud a short text of a popular science nature. Preparation time - 1.5 minutes.

Task 2 invites you to take part in a conditional questioning dialogue: answer 6 telephone survey questions heard in the audio recording.

AT task 3 it is necessary to build a coherent monologue statement on a specific topic based on the plan. Preparation time - 1.5 minutes.

The total response time of one OGE participant in English (including preparation time) is 15 minutes. Each subsequent task is issued after the completion of the previous task. All responses are audio-recorded. Try to fully complete the assigned tasks, speak clearly and clearly, do not deviate from the topic and follow the proposed response plan. This way you can get the most points.

1. Read the instructions for each task carefully.
2. While waiting for your turn, it’s good to say out loud a few phrases or tongue twisters in English in order to hear your voice and “clear” it before your answer.
3. When answering task 3, carefully follow the plan

Exercise 1. Readingtextaloud.

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.

intonation.

Look through the text briefly, try to understand what is being said. It is necessary to divide sentences into semantic phrases and observe pauses. If you see a dot, choose a falling intonation that is characteristic of the statement. Pay attention to the prepositions that follow the verbs to see if the preposition refers to the verb or to the word behind the preposition. This is necessary to properly pause between words.

The workbook is an integral part of the Enjoy English / “English with Pleasure” teaching kit for the 9th grade. The content of the workbook is closely related to the textbook and is aimed at consolidating the material studied in the classroom. The workbook contains exercises designed to develop students' grammatical, lexical and spelling skills, as well as to develop writing, reading and listening skills. Exercises of increased difficulty are marked with an asterisk and are optional. The workbook also contains an additional set of test tasks (Test Yourself), which do not repeat the test tasks included in the 9th grade textbook.

Pronunciation rules.

DO NOT confuse words that are similar in spelling and sound: since (since) and science (science), through (through), though (although) and thought (thought, thought), etc.

Take your time and read the text clearly - you will have enough time, as much as 2 minutes for a small piece.

If there are numbers in the text, say them several times separately and together with the words next to them.

If there are unfamiliar words in the text, do not panic, but try to remember the rules for reading word combinations of letters or reading familiar words with similar letter combinations. After that, be sure to pronounce the text clearly from beginning to end, paying attention to the endings of words (the ending of the plural is often lost or, conversely, it appears where it does not exist) and to small words such as articles, conjunctions and prepositions (when reading, they either fall out , are either replaced by others, or placed where they do not exist).

Also, while preparing for the exam, be sure to read aloud for a while. It is desirable that at the same time you have a listener. We recommend that you record your reading on electronic media each time, so that later you can listen to yourself and analyze the mistakes and shortcomings made.

The problem of all times: the incorrect pronunciation of the sounds [θ, ð], which in writing are indicated by the combination of letters -th. ( the, this, that, think, thought ). The pronunciation in Russian [h] and [s] is incorrect! The tongue should be between the teeth.

The proposed text refers to the recently discovered ninth planet of the solar system - Pluto. The text contains one date 1930. When reading years, we conditionally divide the number into two halves, and first we read the first two digits together, and then the second two digits together. It turns out nineteenthirty, respectively. Words to pay attention to: scientists, position, existed, calculated, researcher, edge, suggest. All these words are from a high school English course, so you just need to calmly remember how they are read. Now proceed to pronounce the entire text, clearly articulate all the words, paying attention to the endings and small words.

Preparation time - 1.5 minutes. The time to complete the task is 2 minutes. The maximum score is 2.

Exercise 2. Conditional Dialog- questioning.

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: ________________________

Review the dialogue. Try to understand what each question is about and highlight the keywords. The answer to the question must be complete. Can't start with a word because . Please note that the answer must use the same grammatical form as the question. The answer must be grammatically correct (correct word order in the sentence, replacing any with some in the answer, etc.) and in meaning correspond to what you are asked to answer. Pay attention to pronunciation - if the words are pronounced incorrectly and this interferes with the understanding of the answer, then the answer will not be counted. If the answer is spoken too quickly during recording, then it is quite difficult to wait for the remaining time until the next answer. Unfortunately, sometimes students get nervous and correct the correct answer for the wrong one. Don't forget that your last answer counts, even if you got it right the first time!

According to the task, we need to answer the questions of the sports center employee. Try to imagine a situation where you actually take part in the survey and answer questions on the items proposed in the task - what would you like to talk about, how would this answer sound in real life? If your answer is no, then you need to justify your answer using words such as because, that is why etc.

Possible answers.

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 sports is the most popular teenagers in your region?

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.

The time to complete the task is 4 minutes. The maximum score is 6. Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Task 3. Construction of a coherent monologue statement.

Task 3. 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 (10-12 sentences).

Remember to say:

Why do 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.

You need to tell a monologue on a given topic, based on the points of the proposed plan. A list of all possible topics that may be encountered in the exam are indicated in the codifier on the FIPI website in the section "OGE English 2018" oral part (speaking). Here, the ability to coherently build a speech and express a point of view, citing arguments and arguments, is tested.

Start with an introductory phrase. For example: “Now I’m going to give a talk about…”.

Indicate the need for an introduction "Fromtheverybeginning ...";

Discuss all 3 points of the plan in the form: thesis - argument(s)/example(s).

Use linking words (Personally, I; in my opinion; moreover; also; for example, etc.);

Make a conclusion that will contain the final phrase: "In conclusion, I would like to say that ...".

Approximate answer

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 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.

In fact, this is another of the many school “topics” that many of you have probably told more than once in English classes at school, so this task should not cause any particular difficulties. Preparation time - 1.5 minutes, execution - 2 minutes. The maximum score is 7.

In total, you can get 15 points for the oral part. The total delivery time is 15-20 minutes.

The workbook is an integral part of the teaching materials for English for grade 9 of the Rainbow English series and complies with the Federal State Educational Standard for basic general education. The manual is intended for independent work of students at school and at home and contains tasks for repeating and consolidating the material studied from the textbook.

This manual is an integral part of the educational and methodical set "English" for grade 9 of the series "Rainbow English" by the authors O. V. Afanasyeva, I. V. Mikheeva, K. M. Baranova. It includes exercises for additional development of the lexical and grammatical material of the textbook.

reasoning

We read the presented texts (this may be one text) in order to have a general idea of what is at stake. Then we fill in the blanks.

Number 18. Written personal pronoun THEY, this pronoun is not a subject in the text, therefore, it is necessary to use an object pronoun, namely THEM.

Number 19. Dan verb SEND. First of all, it is necessary to determine in what form the verb should be used: active or passive. While doing the task, we can use the following approaches:

First, you can rely directly on the context from which it becomes clear that the children were sent to the old professor's house.
Second, the verb SEND is a transitive verb, after which an object is needed, which is not in our sentence, which excludes the active form.

When translating the sentence, it becomes clear that the children could not send the house, which means that the subject THEY is subject to action from another subject or object, it is obvious that the verb must be put in the passive voice. The next step is to determine in which tense form to use the verb, for this we again turn to the context. The first three sentences are used in the simple past tense (Past Simple). Define a time marker. In our case, it is when they had to leave to their home city, London, during the war. Correct form - WERE SENT.

Number 20. The verb NOT/HAVE is given

Context.
Active or passive voice.
Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice, since the subject he took action. We determine whether the narrative refers to the past tense and in what tense the verbs are used, before and after the gap. Verb lived used in Past Simple, which gives us the right to put this verb at the same time didn't have / did not have. However, in order to emphasize that the actions of one verb obviously occurred before the other, you can put this verb in the Past Perfect ( hadn't had / had not had), which is also a grammatically correct solution to the problem. The sentence uses 2 verbs, where the actions of one obviously occurred before the other, in order to emphasize this fact, we put the verb have in Past Perfect.

Number 21. Given an adjective YOUNG. Before the gap we see the definite article the, which is a marker of the formation of the superlative degree of the adjective. Additional markers are the words of them. From the context it becomes clear that it is necessary to transform the adjective into some form. In our case, this is an excellent form, since the adjective is preceded by a definite article the and additional marker of them (the YOUNGEST of them).

Number 22. Cardinal number ONE, therefore, the only possible form is the ordinal number FIRST.

Number 23. Dan verb BE. Design in the proposal I wish(conditional sentence of type I). It follows from the context that Edmond wanted the weather to be different at the moment he talks about it. In such situations, we use a conditional sentence of type I wish + Past Simple. This construction assumes, regardless of the person, the form of the verb to be (WAS or WERE). Both options are considered correct.

Number 24. Dan verb IMPROVE. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. The context requires the use of the future tense. Phrase I think is an indicator of the grammatical tense of the Future Simple, but does not exclude the use of the construction to be going to, also used to express the future tense. Correct answer - WILL IMPROVE / 'LL IMPROVE / IS GOING TO IMPROVE.

Number 25. Dan verb EAT. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.
2. Active or passive voice.
3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. Presence of a grammar tense indicator at the moment tells us about the need to use the times of the Continuous group, and the presence of the second verb was(Past Simple) requires timing. Correct answer - WAS EATING(Past continuous).

Number 26. Dan verb BEGIN. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.
2. Active or passive voice.
3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. First verb in a sentence NODDED(Past Simple), since events occur sequentially, we again use Past Simple. Correct answer - BEGAN.

Answers to tasks from 18 to 26: 18 - them; 19 - were sent; 20 - did not have/didn't have/had not had/hadn't had; 21 - youngest; 22 - first; 23 - was/were; 24 - will improve / 'll improve / is going to improve; 25 - was eating; 26 - began.

Task 2

Read the text below. Transform the words printed in capital letters at the end of the lines indicated by numbers 27-32 so that they correspond grammatically and lexically to the content of the text. Fill in the gaps with the given words. Each gap corresponds to a separate task 27-32.

Methodological hint

This part tests word formation skills. The task in the specification is formulated as “tasks for filling in a gap in a coherent text by forming a related word from the proposed key word” using suffixes and prefixes. The key to success in completing this task are two factors: the correct definition of the part of speech that needs to be inserted instead of the gap, and the knowledge of word-forming suffixes and prefixes. We read the text, paying attention to the words before and after the gaps. We determine the missing part of speech, as well as whether the missing word has a negative or affirmative connotation.

	People travel a lot nowadays. Planes are considered to be the most __________________ means of transport but for some people airports can be a nightmare.
	There are __________________ queues when you check in and you waste lots of time if your flight is delayed.
	However, there are some airports where you can __________________ enjoy yourself.
	For example, you'll never be bored at Hong Kong's international airport. There are thousands of people from __________________ countries here but the passengers never experience any problems because everything is well organised.
	There are attendants in red coats, who help you to get from one place to another. It's very good for people with no sense of __________________.
	The attendants are always very polite and __________________.

reasoning

Number 27. Planes are considered to be the most ... The construction of the most requires the use of an adjective after itself. To form an adjective from the word COMFORT, you must add the suffix -ABLE. The correct answer is COMFORTABLE.

Number 28. There are _____queues… In this situation, after the construction There are can be both a noun and an adjective that specifies it. We already have a noun - queues. Accordingly, we add an adjective. The context requires the use of an adjective meaning "infinite". Prefix BES = suffix LESS in English. Correct answer - ENDLESS.

Number 29.…where you can _________enjoy yourself how? It is logical to use an adverb (adjective + LY). We reread the paragraph with the inserted word - the meaning is preserved. Correct answer - ACTUALLY.

Number 30. There are thousands of people from __________ countries… In this situation, the construction There are can be followed by both a noun and an adjective that specifies it. We already have a noun - countries. To from a verb DIFFER to convert the adjective we need to add the suffix -ENT. Correct answer - DIFFERENT.

Number 31.…with no sense of ___________. Sense of direction is a set expression, where direction is a noun. To form from a word DIRECT noun we must add the suffix -ION. Correct answer - DIRECTION.

Number 32. The attendants are always very polite and __________. The context requires the use of a second adjective that carries a positive assessment. To form from a word HELP adjective "responsive" we need to add the suffix - FUL. Correct answer - HELPFUL.

Answers to tasks from 27 to 32: 27 - comfortable; 28 - endless; 29 - actually; 30 - different; 31 – direction; 32 - helpful.

Statement

A. Chat rooms are great! You can talk to lots of people at the same time. You can exchange views and ideas without any fear to seem stupid or something like that. And you can make up so much about yourself. To tell the truth I am a bit shy with new people in real life. In a chat room everything is quite different. I find it so cool!

B. I've got a lot of Internet boyfriends. They sometimes ask me out, but I just say no because I think they are all fake. Of course, I chat with them online and share some news but I always keep in mind that it's all just a game. Some of my classmates tried Internet dating and were absolutely disappointed.

C. I find the Internet really useful with my school work and catching up with my friends… plus chat rooms are a great way of making friends in different countries. But I don't give out where I live, except maybe the city… Of course I stay friendly, talk about common interests but I never give out my name, my telephone number, my address, anything personal that would let people contact me anywhere except online.

D. I think Internet dating is a load of rubbish! How can you say you love someone when you don't even know them? I could say that I'm 14 when I'm really 40 or something. People lie all the time! It's so stupid how some people can be so easily cheated. Face to face and eyes to eyes - that's quite different.

E. What is wrong about the social nets? I’m sure that most people who use social discovery services just want to meet new people and have only good intentions. My parents have found a lot of friends from their school and student life. Just don't spend all of your time in the net and that's all. You shouldn't be dependent on anything.

Thanks to new technology
A custom for a sweet tooth
The upside down world
nice for people in love
happy next year
not allowed for some time
Watch out or give the money
Christmas is coming

A. Houses are decorated with colored paper ribbons and chains. Holly with red berries is put on the walls and looks very colorful. A piece of mistletoe (a plant) is hung from the ceiling. It is said to be lucky to kiss under the mistletoe hanging from the ceil¬ing. As you can understand, a lot of people who may not usually kiss each other take the chance given by a piece of mistletoe!

B. One of the delicacies the British have enjoyed for almost 900 years is the mince pie. This is a sort of small cake with a delicious mixture of spices and fruit. It was the Crusaders who introduced it when they brought back new aromatic spices from the Holy Land. In the 17th century Oliver Cromwell tried to ban the eating of mince pies (as well as singing of carols) - but people continued to eat (and sing) in secret.

C. Christmas Day is a family day when families try to be together. In past years, the Queen has broadcast a radio message from her study at Sandringham House. Since 1959 she has been recording her message every year some weeks before Christmas, so it could be broadcast on Christmas Day by radio in all parts of the British Commonwealth.

D. In the USA many towns have a public tree place in some square or park or outside the town hall. This custom began first in America when an illuminated tree was set up in 1909 in Pasadena, California. Now we can observe the ceremony of putting up the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City, as well as in the main square of every town in the country. The nation's main Christmas tree is set up in Washington, D.C. on the parade ground near the White House. A few days before Christmas the President of the United States presses a button to light the tree. This is the signal for lighting trees across the land.

E. The custom of breaking a wishbone (of a chicken or turkey) comes from the Ro¬mans who used them for fortune telling. They examined the bones of sacrificed birds, which they thought were messengers from their gods. Looking for signs of future events, they broke the wishbone and the person with the longest piece could make a wish which may bring him luck or good fortune.

F. Christmas in Australia is not like anywhere else since December is one of the hottest months of the year. But the Australians have a great time anyway. Those who live near the coast go to the beach on Christmas day. They have a swim, play cricket or volleyball, surf or just sit around with family and friends enjoying Christmas dinner. Santa Claus arrives on a surfboard - quite a change from sliding down a chimney!

G. Christmas caroling is particularly popular in Wales where it is often accompanied by a harp. In some rural areas a villager is chosen to be the Mari Lawyed. This person travels around the town dressed in white and carrying a horse's skull on a long pole. Anyone given the 'bite' by the horse's jaws must pay a fine.

Write in the table the selected numbers under the corresponding letters.

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston was born in Brussels on May 4, 1929 in the family of a wealthy English banker and a Dutch baroness. She spent her early childhood traveling between England, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Her parents divorced when she was six. Then came the war. Her m other moved with Audrey to her parents’ home in the neutral Netherlands. The following year the country was invaded by the Nazis. It was a difficult time for the whole family. There was very little food. Audrey and her family had to dig vegetables from the hard frozen ground, for some time they survived on flour made from tulip bulbs.

Audrey's greatest love was music. She wanted to be a dancer, and she studied dancing since she was five. In 1948, Audrey and her m other moved to London. Audrey went to a ballet school. She worked hard at her dancing. She had no time for boyfriends. But one day the ballet school teacher told her, ‘I’m sorry, but you’ll never be a famous dancer.
You're too ta ll.' Audrey was sad, but then something happened. She was given a small part in a big London musical. She quickly found jobs in other musicals. Everybody liked this thin girl with a pretty face and wide smile.

When Audrey was twenty, she had small parts in several movies and during the filming of a movie she met a famous novelist and screenwriter Colette. Colette wanted to find a girl for the Broadway musical of her book, Gigi. When she saw Audrey, she said. ‘She is Gigi! Half-woman, half-boy.’ This role won Hepburn a Theater World Award in 1952.

The same year a Hollywood movie producer offered her the p art of a princess in a big new movie, Roman Holiday. The film was a great success and Audrey won an Oscar for Best Actress.

Audrey starred in about 30 films, among them were War and Peace (1956), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), My Fair Lady (1964), How to Steal a Million (1965). But she always made it clear that family was more important for her than work. She was married twice and had two sons. After her second son was born in 1970, she said: ‘I don’t want to make any more movies. I ’m happy as a good wife and mother.’ However, her second marriage ended in divorce - just like the first one.

Since 1970 Audrey has lived a quiet life in her house in Switzerland raising her two sons. She only made two or three more movies, and they were not very good. She made them because she needed money.

When she became older, she wanted to do something more important with her life. She started to work for the United Nations. She was officially appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. She visited the poorest and most dangerous countries in the world. In 1992, she traveled to Africa for the last time. When she came back, she was seriously ill. The doctors thought it was some infection, but it was cancer. On January 20, 1993, Audrey Hepburn died. She was sixty-four.

Audrey was one of the few actresses who became the symbol of their time, whose look was imitated by thousands of girls. She became and stayed the symbol of elegance, glamor, charm, and grace. As one of film critics said ‘In this cruel and imperfect world Audrey was living proof that God could still create perfection.’

Section 4 Writing Assignments

You have 30 minutes to do this task.
You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, Susan
… I have just returned from the cinema. I watched a new film with Leonardo DiCaprio. I can't understand
why my sister is so crazy about him. She thinks he is smart and cool. Thought, I admit some of his films
are interesting.
And what actors do you admire? What films have you seen with them? Do your friends share your
interests?

Show answer

Answer example:

Dear Susan,
Thank you for your letter.
I can't share your opinion of DiCaprio. He is really cool and an excellent actor. As for me, I adore actors and actresses who have ‘school’ and can show different features of their personalities in various genres of films. Sometimes I even choose a film to watch because of special actor starring in it.
Some of my friends are of the same opinion as mine, but some have their own likes and dislikes (tastes differ)! They prefer action to good acting.
Sorry, have to do my home work.

Write soon.
love,
Tonya

oral part

1	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 have not more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

Whether we realize it or not, TV plays a very important part in our lives. It's the main source of information and a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people. It gives us an opportunity to "travel" all over the world, to "meet" different people and learn about their customs and traditions . It helps us to relax after a hard day's work and escape from reality. Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less. We think less. We even talk less. It’s true that some TV addicts spend hours in front of the “box” watching whatever’s on - from second-rate Mexican soap operas to silly commercials. The trick is to learn to control television and use it intelligently. The ideal is to turn on the TV-set only when there's a really interesting programme. Violence on TV is another problem that worries people. But the same can be said about computer games and many films and books. And if you don't like a certain program, why watch it?
