READING

Time: 30 minutes (15 points)

Read the passage below and answer questions 1–15.

Even the tactful Japanese would probably smirk or at the very least expresspuzzlement if someone told them about a ‘traditional Russian tea party’. And yet, it isa well-known fact that Russians are unstoppable in their incessant consumption oftea and in fact cannot live without it. It has become an extremely significant part ofRussian culture. Tea warms you up, wakes you up, and is nice after a big meal. Tea inRussia is not just a beverage – it’s a social activity with a long-reaching traditionbehind it. Even coffee that has been slowly but surely making inroads onto Russiantables still has not been able to replace tea. Russians will drink tea on any occasionand with no occasion whatsoever.

For the first time four pounds of tea were brought to Russia in 1638 by theRussian ambassador as a gift from the Mongol Khan for the Russian sovereign ofMoscow Michael Fyodorovich. At first the tsar and the boyars were not particularlyimpressed with the astringent and bitter drink. When all the tea presented by theMongol Khan had been drunk and the Moscow court began to forget its taste, it wasonce again the diplomats who reintroduced tea to Russia. Another Russianambassador Nicholas Spafary brought some tea from China. This time tea wasalready a known substance in Moscow and in 1679 a contract was entered into withChina under which the Chinese were to supply Russia with dried tea. After that,caravans carrying tea began regular journeys from the Great Wall of China to thewalls of the Moscow Kremlin.

However, the new beverage took quite some time to grow on Russians, who atfirst viewed it with suspicion as they did with everything that originated abroad. Inaddition, Chinese tea was too expensive while Russian herbal teas, such as cranberry,currant, briar, and sweet lime were always easy to get. And it was only by the early18 th century that tea had been fully accepted in Russian households and become anational drink.

An indispensable component of a Russian tea party is the samovar. Samovars are tea poetry; they come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. Many of them are true works of art. A samovar is always placed in the middle of the table. It commonly has curved shapes suggesting warmth and kindness. While water is boiling inside the samovar and smoke is coming off the top of it, its sides reflect the people around the table, adding a surreal feel to the gathering. Samovars are usually heated up using charcoal and sometimes even fir cones. The slightly bitter aroma of the smoke relaxes and soothes those present. In addition to good looks and efficiency, samovars were always valued for their sound. When the water starts boiling a samovar would announce it with its own unique “song” that would add to the cosiness and intimacy of the occasion.

When you’re invited for tea in Russia, you can almost always expect to eat. Guests are offered several types of jam, honey, cakes, pies, chocolates and other sweets. Often you also get sandwiches, light salads, and fresh fruit and vegetables. Everything is served on ornate plates and dishes.

It is almost an insult not to offer tea to someone who came by your house, as it is an insult to refuse it when offered. In some parts of the former Soviet Union, especially in the North Caucasus region and Central Asia, the amount and quality of the food served when drinking tea indicates a level of respect that a host has for a guest, and it’s not uncommon for relationships to go sour just because only jam and sugar were served during tea.

There is a story about how in 1802 Prince Shakhovskoy met J.W. Goethe in a hotel in Munich. The famous German poet invited the Prince for tea. Having arrived and seeing that there was nothing but tea on the table, the Prince ordered sandwiches and some pastries without further ado. The two spent a most pleasant evening talking about German and Russian literature. To Shakhovskoy’s surprise, the next day he got a bill for the food he had ordered, which J.W. Goethe refused to pay, since he had only invited the Prince for tea.

There is another tradition that foreigners often fail to understand: Russians drink tea from glasses, which they put in special glass holders. This tradition dates back to the 17 th and 18 th century teahouses and it was only in the early 19th century that it was picked up by the commoners. Expensive glass holders were usually made from silver, the more commonplace glass holders were made primarily from alloys of nickel and silver. The finely decorated holders were used both for esthetic and practical purposes preventing the palms from direct contact with hot tea. Today almost nobody will drink tea from glasses at home and yet it has still survived on trains. It is a special unique kind of pleasure to drink hot tea from a glass in a glass holder sitting in the car of a long distance train and looking out at the landscapes speeding past outside!

Task 1. Questions 1–8

  1. Tea and coffee are equally favoured by the Russian people.
  2. Russians indulge in having tea whenever the opportunity affords itself.
  3. The Russians instantly favoured the peculiar flavour of the new beverage.

  7. Water in samovars is boiled ahead of time and just warmed up afterwards.
  8. Glass holders were made to help the tea cool quicker.

Listening comprehension

For items 1–10 listen to a dialogue between a famous actor and his woman colleague and decide whether the statements 1–10 are TRUE according to the text you hear (A ), or FALSE (B ), or the information on the statement is NOT STATED in the text (C ). You will hear the text twice . You have 20 seconds to look through the statements.

(pause 20 seconds)

Now we begin

She : I’ve never met anybody who enjoys every moment of making a movie as muchas you. You don’t stress out too much, you’re always in a good mood. And you havelittle rituals throughout the day, which you do with a lot of style – almost like you arecelebrating life, not just the work. You have to have your special cup of tea, in nicechina, not Styrofoam.

He : What are you saying, please?

She : It’s lovely! You don’t drink it as you’re walking, like the rest of us. Youfind a nice corner to read in.

He : That’s true. You’ve got to find your camp. We set up homes constantly – a newtrailer, a new set, a new country – so you have to find that space. I suppose there arerituals, but I think that comes from the theater. Before all of this started, I wasworking in the theater. I ended up in Los Angeles for two weeks and stayed alifetime.

She : A lot of people in our business get jaded, but you don’t. Why not?

He : Because, for me at least, it doesn’t get any easier. I have The Daughter comingout, and we’re getting close to showing the world what we did last year in Texas. Thatside of it is out of my control, but this is always an anxious time for me.

She : Tell me about The Daughter.

He : I play Colonel Eli McCullough, a man born out of violence. His parents werepioneers, annihilated by the Comanche. He was kidnapped and brought up by theComanche. So there’s a duality to the man’s psyche, a fractured mind and heart. Wefind him as a man in 1915 in Texas.

She : When you were doing theater in London as a young Irish lad, did you everimagine you’d be playing a Texan?

He : I grew up in an Irish farming town, but cowboys and Indians were the fabric of mylife as a young lad. My grandmother used to have this family come around to the house,Ma Butchey and her two sons. She would sharpen the knives and fix the pots, and hersons would teach me how to make the best bows and arrows and catapults. So it’s alwaysbeen in my heart to play in a western. But this is not really a western; it’s a family saga.

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку. Задания конкурса Writing

Корпорация «Российский учебник» в серии вебинаров представляет разбор олимпиадных заданий по английскому языку. Как известно, олимпиада состоит из пяти конкурсов: Listening (понимание устного текста), Reading (понимание письменного текста), Use of English (лексико-грамматический тест), Writing (письменная речь), Speaking (устная речь). Председатель Центральной методической комиссии Всероссийской олимпиады школьников по английскому языку Юлия Курасовская представила примеры заданий Writing и образцы их успешного выполнения, рассказала о типичных ошибках на олимпиадах, отметила - на что нужно обратить особое внимание при подготовке.

Для данных этапов Центральная комиссия не предоставляет задания, а лишь дает рекомендации по их составлению. Одна из основных рекомендаций - предлагать ученикам задания по нежанровому письму: «выразите свое мнение», «прокомментируйте цитату», «посоветуйте книгу для школьной библиотеки» и т.д. Задача получается похожей на задание № 40 ЕГЭ, однако не должна повторять его полностью. Число слов может быть 100-120 или больше.

Пример

Time: 30 minutes. Comment on the following problem: Elderly people who live alone should be taken care of. In your comment use information from the article below:

Elderly people who live alone can be monitored by new technology that analyses household sounds to ensure their safety. The new sound monitoring system, developed by Fujitsu, the Japanese electronics company, examines noises in homes via a microphone connected to a data centre. The technology is refined enough to differentiate between the sound of a falling object or a collapsing human and can instantly alert family members or security firms if any abnormality is detected. From breathing and coughing to sleeping, all noises made by the resident can be detected by the technology, in addition to analysis of daily routines, heat and humidity levels.

Write 100-120 words. Remember to: make an introduction, express your personal opinion on the problem and give reasons for your opinion, express your attitude towards the information from the article, make a conclusion. Write in your own words.

Пояснение: От ученика требуется высказать свою точку зрения по предложенной проблеме, привести аргументацию и выразить свое отношение к информации, представленной в статье. Задача отчасти знакома по заданию № 40 ЕГЭ, поэтому не вызывает затруднения. Очень важно приучить школьников читать задание полностью и выполнять его строго по критериям.

Типичные ошибки:

  • Невнимательность при прочтении задания.
  • Несоответствие заданному объему.
  • Отсутствие вступления и заключения.
  • Элементарные грамматические, лексические, пунктуационные ошибки.

Writing: школьный и муниципальный этапы

Задания для данных этапов составляет Центральная предметно-методическая комиссия. Ученики работают уже с жанровым письмом. Даются те же жанры, что и на международных экзаменах: рассказ (story), статья (article), доклад/отчет (report), рецензия (review), личное и деловое письмо (letter). Задачи также представляют собой модифицированные задания ЕГЭ.

Типичные ошибки (независимо от жанра):

  • Непонимание формата высказывания, жанра.
  • Замена жанра.
  • Неполное или неточное раскрытие темы.
  • Нарушение логики (отсутствие или неправильное использование средств логической связи, резкие переходы, отсутствие вступления и заключения).
  • Лексико-грамматические, орфографические, пунктуационные ошибки.

Рассмотрим подробнее наиболее распространенные творческие задания в жанрах рассказа и отчета.

Рассказ

Рассказ - это малая литературная форма, имеющая сюжет (фабулу). Текст в этом жанре должен соответствовать следующим требованиям:

  • Оригинальный динамичный сюжет.
  • Естественный тон повествования.
  • Использование таких приемов как описание, повествование, рассуждение.

  • Будьте внимательны с использованием грамматических времен. Например, Past Continuous подходит для описания погоды в момент действия, Past Simple - для основных действий, Past Perfect - для событий, предшествующих истории.
  • Примите во внимание, что в рассказе часто описываются герои, места, предметы, события.
  • Помните, что в рассказе очень важны начало и конец.

A fluffy tail

Once upon a time, I was sitting in my office and observing my ignorant colleagues. I glanced at the watch and discovered that it was time to go home. So, I unplugged all the cords from my laptop, put a note on the board and left my workplace. Bob told me: «Have a nice day!» I told him to have a nice day too.

I left the office building, found my car in the car park and headed off to my home place. The way home usually takes an hour. It’s a boring trip, because while covering the distance I have to stay in an enormous traffic jam. Not to feel bored I switched on the radio and started waiting for the cars in front of me to move. Suddenly I saw something strange in front of my car. It looked like a roll of a newspaper. Then I understood that it was something fluffy and alive. I left the car and took the fluffy ball in my hands. It turned out to be a small cat with a fluffy tail. It looked miserable and was shivering with cold.

I decided to take it home just to feed it, because my wife would never let it live with us. A year ago our cat left home and didn’t come back. After this incident Monica couldn’t see any other cats. Well, this time she was about throwing the poor kitten away, when she suddenly found a necklace on the cat with the cat’s owner’s address. The address was ours! It was our cat that we had lost. How happy we were!

Отчет, получивший наибольшее количество баллов:

The aim of this report is to recommend what should be done in order to make students interested and successful in some school subjects. The chart was used to analyze the information. The biggest number of both boys and girls has passed state exams in computer science, mathematics and foreign languages. The percentage of them is higher than 40. The choice of chemistry, physics and geography appears to be a little bit lower - its data fluctuates from 30 to 40 percent. History is the least popular subject students have passed state exam in.

Computer science exam was the most popular one among girls. It is because of the fact that the IT development greatly affected the demand for programmers. However, in 2015-2016 academic year most boys passed mathematics exam, following the trend of being more interested in mathematical sciences than practical areas. Speaking about less popular subjects, it should be stressed that only 14 percent of girls succeeded in passing state exam in chemistry, whereas 20 percent of boys managed to pass geography exam.

Judging by our research, me can give the following recommendations. On the one hand, to raise students’ interest in unpopular subjects such as chemistry, history and geography teachers should use modern technology such as computers and eboards during the lesson. On the other hand, group work and school projects may make them more interested in the subject. In conclusion, we can make a point that both interests and success of students do not depend on what kind of science a particular subject refers to. It is all about the education progress which can be improved by the use of special equipment and another way of studying.

Комбинированные задания

Комбинированные задания в конкурсе Writing встречаются нечасто, однако ставят перед учениками очень интересные задачи, которые те выполняют с большим удовольствием. Суть в совмещении жанров, разных заданий из ЕГЭ.

Пример

Imagine that you are a teacher of English at school and you have given your students the writing assignment: Comment on the following statement. When you are studying away from home, the best choice for you is to live with your acquaintances. What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? Write 200-250 words. Use the following plan: make an introduction (state the problem), express your personal opinion and give 2-3 reasons for it, express an opposing opinion and 1-2 reasons for it,explain why you don’t agree with the opposing opinion,make a conclusion restating your position One of your students has sent you her essay by e-mail.

Task A. Find and correct the mistakes. The first one has been corrected as an example. Find 5 more mistakes (grammar, vocabulary or spelling) and correct them.

Task B. Playing the role of a school teacher, write an email to your student, expressing your opinion on her work. Do not comment on the grammar, vocabulary or spelling mistakes in your letter. Comment on the composition and general idea of the essay. Observe the rules of letter writing, except for the address. Do not write your real name! (use 100-140 words).

Student’s Essay When you are studying away from home, the best choice for you is to live with your acquaintances.

I disagree to this statement. If you are thinking of going away to study, your choice of accommodation will be very important. You may be lucky enough to have the chance of staying with somebody your parents know, for example, your distant relatives or your parents’ friends. However, this can bring problems as well as advantages. Family life may well distract you of your studies, and there will also be the question of what you should pay to your hosts. No matter how carring they may be and no matter how much they want you with them, they won’t expect to keep you for nothing. Paying too much or too little can easily lead to feeling awkward but setting the right amount can be tricky and embarrassed. You will also have to adjust with your hosts’way of life and put up with their habits. They will also have to do their best to make you feel at home. In other words, it is wrong to believe that if you are living with somebody you know it will be costing nothing either for you or for them. Living in a dormitory can often be the best arrangement after all.

Ann Applewood

Пояснение: От школьника требуется представить себя учителем английского, задавшим ученикам известное задание «выразить точку зрения по предложенной проблеме», проверить эссе одной из учениц, найти в нем 5 ошибок, прокомментировать это эссе в письме. То есть школьник имеет дело с жанром эссе, но сам при этом должен написать ответ в форме письма.

Ответ, получивший наибольшее количество баллов:

Dear Ann,

On the whole, your essay is very well done. Your point of view is clearly stated and supported by several arguments. Unfortunately, the opposing opinion is not mentioned in your work and is not commented upon. I am afraid there is no introduction in your essay. Try to add two sentences at the beginning where you paraphrase the statement and show that there are different views on the problem. I would also make two more paragraphs, starting with the words «Family life» and «In other words».

With best wishes,

Mr. Brown

Part 2 «Reading»

Time: 20 minutes (20 points)

Task 1

Read the passage about Lake Vostok. There are seven words with a letter and anasterisk (*) beside them. This symbol is used in scientific texts to provideexplanations for non-scientific readers. Match each explanation below (1–7) with thecorrect letter A–G from the passage.

  1. *_____ An inspection or investigation of an area, often used for making maps.
  2. *_____Causing harmful effect and damaging the purity of something.
  3. *_____A machine that is automatically programmed to perform a number of tasks, often dangerous or boring ones.
  4. *_____A way of using radio signals on a screen to look at things that cannot normally be seen.
  5. *___Very small organisms that live in the air, water, soil, plants and animals.
  6. *_____A settlement in a distant part of a country, used for trading, military or scientific purposes.
  7. *_____A tool or machine used to make holes in something

Lake Vostok lies about 1,500 kilometres east of the South Pole, near Russia’s Vostok station, a scientific outpost* (A) that has experienced the lowest temperatures ever recorded on Earth: minus 89.2̊ C.

What is unique about this lake is that nobody has ever set foot on its shores. Like the oceans of the planet Jupiter’s moon Europa, it is completely covered by ice.

The first person to realise the existence of Lake Vostok was the Russian geographer, Andrei Kapitsa. While flying over this frozen region in 1960, he noticed an unusually flat area and thought there might be a lake under the ice. However, his suggestions were not taken seriously at the time and it was only after a British-led survey* (B) used radar* (C) , that it became clear that there was water there.

Lake Vostok’s ice covering is 4 kilometres thick, its water is up to 500 metres deep and it has been completely covered in this way for at least one million years. In 1988 special hot-water drills* (D) were used to get through the ice to within 120 metres of the lake. Work then stopped to avoid pollution* (E) . Samples were taken from the ice and found to contain living bacteria* (F) and even some grains.

Scientists now want to send a robot*(G) down to explore and search for signs of life. If life can exist in this lake covered by ice, maybe it can also exist in the icecovered oceans of Jupiter’s moon.

Now choose the best way a–d of completing each sentence 8–10 according to the information in the passage.

8 . What makes Lake Vostok different from other lakes is that it is

  • a) so near the South Pole.
  • b) on Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
  • c) being explored by robots.
  • d) completely covered by ice.

9 . Nobody has yet got through to the waters of the lake because

  • a) the ice is too thick.
  • b) they are afraid of polluting it.
  • c) they are worried about disease from the bacteria.
  • d) you can only see the lake on radar.

10 . Lake Vostok could be a very important scientific discovery as it could show

  • a) how life can survive in extreme conditions.
  • b) how long Earth has existed.
  • c) how robots work.
  • d) how scientists write reports on their discoveries.

Task 2

You’re Welcome

Bill Bryson, an American writer who had lived in Britain for ten years, returned to the USA to rediscover his homeland. He borrowed his mother’s old Chevrolet and drove 13,978 miles through 38 states, keeping mainly to side roads and small towns. This is Bryson’s description of a meal in a town called Littleton in New Hampshire.

It was the friendliest little place I had ever seen. I went into the Topic of the Town restaurant. The other customers smiled at me, the lady at the cash register showed me where to put my jacket, and the waitress, a plump little lady, couldn’t do enough for me.

She brought me a menu and I made the mistake of saying thank you. “You’re welcome,” she said. Once you start this there’s no stopping. She came and wiped the table with a damp cloth. “Thank you,” I said. “You’re welcome,” she said. She brought me some cutlery wrapped in a paper napkin. I hesitated but I couldn’t stop myself. “Thank you,” I said. “You’re welcome,” she said.

I ordered the fried chicken special. As I waited I became uncomfortably aware that the people at the next table were watching me and smiling at me in a slightly crazy way. The waitress was watching me too. Every few minutes she came over and asked if everything was all right. Then she filled my glass with iced water and told me my food would only be a minute.

“Thank you,” I said.

“You’re welcome,” she said.

Finally the waitress came out of the kitchen with a tray the size of a table-top and started putting plates of food in front of me – soup, a salad, a plate of chicken, a basket of hot bread rolls. It all looked delicious. Suddenly I realized I was starving.

The waitress wanted to know if she could get me anything else.

“No, this is just fine, thank you.” I answered with my knife and fork ready to attack the food.

“Would you like some ketchup?”

“No, thank you.”

“Would you like some more dressing for your salad?”

“No, thank you.”

“Have you got enough gravy?”

There was enough gravy to drown a horse. “Yes, plenty of gravy, thank you.”

“How about a cup of coffee?”

“Really I’m fine.”

“You’re sure there’s nothing I can do for you?”

“Well, you might just push off and let me eat my dinner,” I wanted to say, but I didn’t of course. I just smiled sweetly and said no thank you.

11 After living abroad for a long time,

Bryson wanted to

A bring him some coffee.
12 He feels that once you’ve started

saying thank you, you

B looked at him.
13 He was uncomfortable about the C like some ketchup.
14 When the food came he wanted to D got enough gravy.
15 The waitress asked if he would E ask for some more.
16 She wanted to know if he F could do for him.
17 She asked if he had G go away.
18 She wondered if she could H have to continue.
19 Bryson was sure there was nothing I eat, not talk.
20 He didn’t really tell the waitress to J like some more chicken.
K get to know the USA again.
L would like some more dressing.

Now we are ready to start.

Tea was introduced to Russia in 1640 when the Russian ambassador boyarin Vasily Starkov returned from the Mongol horde and brought a gift of 200 tea packages , 500 grammes each, to tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov. It was praised for its medicinal powers and ability to refresh and to purify the blood. Starkov himself didn’t like the taste of the drink but he feared the tsar’s anger and brought it to court. There are different legends about the way Romanov felt about the exotic foreign drink. One of them claims the tsar liked it and exclaimed ‘More!’ But many historians hold the opposite opinion because tea trade did not start in Moscow until 36 years later.

The next shipment of tea arrived from China. In 1679 Russia and China signed a special tea treaty. In the beginning tea was very expensive and only rich people could afford it. Also very few people knew the secrets of its brewing.

Traditionally, common Russian people drank forest herbal teas – vzvars – made of herbs, dried leaves and fruits.

But very soon tea had become very popular, and now Russians could not imagine their lives without it. It was also noted that tea would keep one awake during a long church service .

By the 18 th century, tea was part and parcel of Russian life and had become very much a national drink . Family affairs were settled around the tea table. Asking one to sit down to tea became a traditional sign of hospitality. Tradition demanded that the water be boiled in a samovar if possible. Russian tea is served with a lump of sugar and lemon , along with various jams and preserves, honey and Russian cookies or pies. People in the West even call tea served with lemon Russian tea.

Now you have 30 seconds to fulfil the task.

(Pause 30 seconds)

Now listen again and check your answers.
