Старайтесь правильно произносить все слова, а также обязательно соблюдайте интонацию. Во время подготовки посмотрите, есть ли в тексте вопросительные или восклицательные знаки. Делайте паузы на запятых и точках.

Выделяйте интонацией важные слова, несущие больше смысла.

Не волнуйтесь, если во время чтения допустили ошибку в произношении. Для того, чтобы получить 1 балл (максимум) за это задание, нужно допустить не более 5 фонетических ошибок, при этом не более 2 грубых. К грубым ошибкам относятся такие ошибки, которые препятствуют пониманию слова.

Не стремитесь сделать вопрос богатым в лексическом отношении – дополнительно это оценено не будет. Не мудрите – делайте все просто и уверенно. Вполне допустимо использовать однотипные вопросы.

Помните, что человек, который проверяет ваши вопросы, будет проверять последний из них. Поэтому, если вы допустили ошибку, можете еще раз задать вопрос, исправив ее.

Geography is the study of the Earth and its features, its inhabitants, and its phenomena. The word geography comes from Greek. It means “to write and draw about the Earth”. Geography studies continents, seas, rivers and mountains. It deals with all the people and animals that live on the Earth. It is interested in the things that happen on the Earth like tides, winds, and earthquakes. A person who is an expert in geography is a geographer. A geographer tries to understand the world and the things that are in it, how they started and how they have changed. Geographers need to know a lot about maps because maps are very important for understanding geography.

Geography is divided into two main parts called physical geography and human geography. Physical geography studies the natural environment and human geography studies the human environment. Human geography studies include things such as the population in a country, a country’s economy and so on.

Astronomy is the study of the universe and everything in it. This includes stars, planets and galaxies as well as other things. The word astronomy comes from two Greek words. The first means star and the second means slaw. A person who studies astronomy is called an astronomer.

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Ancient people used the positions of the stars to navigate, and to find when was the best time to plant crops. Astronomy is very similar to astrophysics. Since the 20th century there have been two main types of astronomy, observational and theoretical astronomy. Observational astronomy uses telescopes and cameras to look at stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects. Theoretical astronomy uses maths and computer models to predict what should happen. The two often work together, the theoretical predicts what should happen and the observational shows whether the prediction works

Task4 Variant 1

• say what the pictures have in common
• say in what way the pictures are different
• explain why

Ответ начните с вступительной фразы:

I would like to compare and contrast these two photos. / I would like to point out right at the beginning that there are different ways of going in for sports. And these two photos prove that.

I should say that the common theme of these pictures is doing sports. / I think the common thing here is ... / I believe that the theme which relates these photos is ... / One thing that picture 1 and picture 2 have in common is ...

Sample answer:

Let me start with the first picture which shows a little girl who is in the gym at the moment. The girl is going to play table tennis because she is carrying a red tennis racket in her hand. As we can see the gym is well equipped. In the middle of the gym there is a big blue table with a tennis net on it. In the background of the picture you can see some sports facilities such as flying rings, a gymstick, a rope, a hoop and others. All in all, it seems to me that the gym is quite large and light.

As for the second picture it shows a young man running in the field. It might be summer time because he is wearing a green t-shirt, black shorts and white sports shoes. Also, he is wearing a watch on his wrist for timing his heats. Though the sky is blue and the weather is warm and sunny you can see two mountain peaks covered with snow in the background of the picture.

As I"ve already mentioned both pictures are connected with doing sports. You can"t but agree with me that both — a girl and a young man look fit and healthy.

Obviously, we can see certain (some) differences. The first picture shows a little girl whose hobby is playing tennis. On the contrary, the man in the second picture is a professional sportsman as he looks very sporty and strong. Besides, the first picture shows the girl who is playing tennis indoors while the young man is going in for sports in the open air . Moreover, a team game and you need at least one more person to play it with. As to the track-and- field athletics, you can do it on your own.

As for me, I"d prefer to take up to table tennis because I am fond of doing sports with my best friends or relatives. Secondly , this game develops quick thinking and reaction. Finally , you can do it outdoors as well as indoors and bad weather cannot spoil the pleasure.

In conclusion, I would like to say that both pictures make me think that sport is a great way to spend your free time and, of course, it is useful for your health.

That"s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening. / That"s where I"d like to end. (заключительная фраза)

Всего получилось 25 фраз. Необходимо строить свой ответ так, чтобы уложиться в отведенное для ответа время (2 мин). Рекомендованное количество фраз: 12 -15 , но не менее. Помните, что вступительная и заключительная фразы оцениваются экспертами; их отсутствие негативно повлияет на вашу оценку.

Task 4 Variant 2

Study the photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:

• give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
• say which kind of the activities presented in the pictures you"d prefer
• explain why

Ответ начните с вступительной фразы:

I would like to point out right at the beginning that I will compare and contrast these pictures.

I believe that the theme which relates these photos is a life style of the youth.

Let me start with the first picture that shows a group of young people who are at work now. The man on the right and a young woman in a black suit are sitting around the table while the woman in a beautiful white suit is standing at the moment. Unfortunately, I can’t see the face of their boss who is giving them some instructions. They are listening to him very attentively. It looks as if they are ready to make some notes because you can see pads (notebooks) in front of them.

As for the second picture I have the impression that the group of young people is enjoying their free time sitting on the grass. I can only guess that they might be co-students at the international language school because you can see them carrying their workbooks. They are probably having their break time now. As the weather is warm and sunny, they decided to spend it in the school yard. They all are smiling and look very happy so I think they did their test successfully.

I should say that the only similarity between picture 1 and picture 2 is that they depict young people who are practically of the same age.

One of the main differences between pictures is that in the left picture you can see two men and two women (four people) working whereas in the right picture there are two girls and a boy who are having a rest in the open air. The most obvious difference for me between these two pictures is people’s clothes. For example, people in the first picture are wearing suits according to the dress code of their firm, while people in the right picture are wearing casual clothes such as jeans, jumpers and trainers.

As for me, I would rather go to a language school because my dream is to speak English fluently. Moreover, it would be interesting to make some new friends from abroad.

To sum it up, I would like to say that to work or to study together with smart and intelligent people is always great pleasure.

Task 4 Variant 3

Study the photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:

• give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
• say what the pictures have in common
• say in what way the pictures are different
• say which kind of the activities presented in the pictures you"d prefer
• explain why

Ответ начните со вступительной фразы:

I would like to compare and contrast these two photos.

I think the common thing here is classical music.

Let me start with the first picture which shows a young girl who is performing on the stage at the moment. She is wearing a white blouse and a dark skirt. She is playing the grand piano together with a string orchestra. there is a beautiful organ. In the foreground of the picture you can see a lot of spectators. That’s why I can say that music is not just her hobby but she is involved in it very seriously.

As for the second picture it also shows a young girl playing the piano. She looks very elegant in her black velvet dress. As you can see she is wearing glasses. In the background of the picture you can see a portrait of a famous composer. Unfortunately I’m not very good at classical music that’s why I don’t know his name. Under the portrait there is a basket of lovely roses, so I can only guess that it might be the anniversary of the composer.

As I have already mentioned the theme which relates both pictures is classical music. The most obvious similarity between photo 1 and photo 2 is the musical instrument the girls are playing and it is a piano. It is evident that the girls are practically of the same age. In my opinion, they might be very talented.

You can’t but agree with me that the main difference between picture 1 and picture 2 is that the girl in the first picture is performing in a big concert hall whereas the girl in the second picture is playing the piano in a small room.(It is probably the classroom in a local Art School.) Besides , the girls are wearing different items of clothes. Last but not least , in the first picture you can see a lot of audience while in the second picture we cannot see any listeners.

As for me, I would rather go to a big concert hall because I’ve always wanted to listen to the organ.

Summarizing, I may say that it is great to have a good ear for music and play a musical instrument because music always makes your life brighter. (23)

That’s where I’d like to end. (завершающая фраза)

For 1,000 years the indigenous Nenets people have migrated along the 450-mile- long Yamal peninsula in northern Russia. In summer they wander northwards, taking their reindeer with them. In winter they return southwards.

But this remote region of north-west Siberia is now being affected by global warming. Traditionally the Nenets travel across the frozen River Ob in November A ______ around Nadym. These days, though, this annual winter migration is delayed. Last year the Nenets, together with many thousands of reindeer, had to wait until late December В ______ .

“Our reindeer were hungry. There wasn’t enough food,” Jakov Japtik, a Nenets reindeer herder, said. “The snow is melting sooner, quicker and faster than before. In spring it’s difficult for the reindeer to pull the sledges. They get tired,” Japtik said.

Herders say that the peninsula’s weather is increasingly unpredictable - with unseasonal snowstorms С ______ , and milder longer autumns. In winter, temperatures used to go down to -50°C. Now they are normally around -30°C, according to Japtik. “Obviously we prefer -30°C. But the changes aren’t good for the reindeer D ______ ,” he said, setting off on his sledge to round up his reindeer herd.

Even here, in one of the most remote parts of the planet, E ______ . Last year the Nenets arrived at a regular summer camping spot and discovered that half of their lake had disappeared. The water had drained away after a landslide. The Nenets report other curious changes - there are fewer mosquitoes and a strange increase in flies. Scientists say there is unmistakable evidence F ______ .

1. when the ice was finally thick enough to cross

2. that the impact on Russia would be disastrous

3. the environment is under pressure

Ответ:

Which of the following is true about the school’s sports programme?

1) Ability to chew gum while walking was required of all participants.

The public school in town served a number of purposes. Education, of course, was one. It offered a curriculum in general education, manual education, and preparatory education for college. Its music and sports programs provided entertainment to the school and its patrons. And the school served as an agency of social cohesion, bringing the community together in a common effort in which everyone took pride.

The sports program was the center of gravity of extra-curricular activities. The school fielded junior and senior varsity teams in football, basketball and track. Any young man with enough coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time could find a place on one of those teams. In addition, sports generated a need for pep rallies, cheerleaders, a band, homecoming activities, parades and floats, a homecoming queen and maids of honor, and a sports banquet. It also mobilized parents to support the activities with time and money.

There were any number of clubs a student might join. Some were related to academics, like the Latin Club, the Spanish Club, and the Science Club. Others brought together students interested in a profession, like the Future Farmers of America, the Future Homemakers of America, the Future Teachers of America, and the Pre-Med Club. Still others were focused on service. The Intra-Mural Council, made up of girls (who had been neglected in the regular sports program), organized tournaments in a variety of sports for girls. The Library Club worked to improve library holdings and equipment. The Pep Club organized homecoming activities, parades and athletic banquets.

The Student Council, including representatives from each class, was elected by the student body after a heated political campaign with banners and speeches. It represented student interests to the administration and the school board. It approved student clubs that were formed, helped resolve discipline problems, and played a role in setting codes of conduct and dress. For the most part, it was a docile body that approved the policies of the administration.

The Journalism Club published a monthly newspaper of school news and opinion. It was financed by selling ads to business men in the community.

Another group planned and published the school Yearbook, which was a pictorial record of the student body, the year’s activities, sports, and achievements. The Yearbook staff sponsored a beauty contest, pictured outstanding students selected by the faculty, and a Who’s Who of popular and talented students selected by the student body.

Churches in town, of which there were many, sponsored their own activities for youth; and the community sponsored a recreation center, called Teen Town, for chaperoned Saturday night dances each week. Community and school leaders seemed determined to keep the youth of the town busy and out of trouble. In a small Southern town in the Bible Belt where very few students had access to a car, which had been voted dry and in which no alcohol was sold, they succeeded marvelously well.

Burney makes the music by taking part of his animal noises and saving them on a computer. He makes each sound play when a key is pressed. Then he asks other musicians to play the keys into songs. Burney believes in working to save nature. He thinks that more people need to take care of our world. The sounds of nature are quickly disappearing.

When he recorded whales in Alaska, he could hear the sound of oil well drilling from fifteen to twenty miles away. It was very loud. He says his goal is to save nature sounds so his children will be able to hear them.

— Прослушайте несколько раз прилагаемый к тексту аудио файл, обращая внимание на интонационное и фонетическое оформление текста носителем языка.

— Прочитайте текст, копируя интонацию и произношение слов в английском языке. Особое внимание уделите понижению интонации в конце предложения. Из опыта преподавания знаю, что многие студенты не обозначают завершение фразы нисходящим тоном, а наоборот, повышают его, что значительно затрудняет восприятие содержания.

— Не забывайте, что предлоги и артикли нужно читать слитно с глаголами и существительными.

— Не оглушайте звонкие согласные в конце слова, ибо это может изменить лексическое значение слова.

— В процессе подготовки к ЕГЭ учите новые слова (правописание + лексическое значение).

Task 2

Study the advertisement.

You are considering booking a river trip and now you are calling to find out more information. In 1.5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out about the following:

• Booking of the trip (заказ прогулки по реке)
• Boarding time (время посадки на корабль)
• Kinds of amenities (виды удобств на корабле)
• Reductions for senior citizens (скидки для пенсионеров)
• If food and drinks available on board the yacht (возможность заказа еды и напитков на борту яхты)

You have 20 seconds to ask each question.

Sample answer

• How can I book the trip? / Can I book the trip on the phone? / I can book the trip on the phone, can’t I? / Should I book the trip in advance? / Is there any possibility to book the trip online?
• What is the boarding time? / When does the boarding start (begin)?
• What amenities are there on board the yacht (the boat, the ship)?
• Are there any reductions (discounts) for senior citizens?
• Can we order (buy) any food and drinks on board the yacht?

amenities [ə´minətiz] – удобства

оn board the ship (on board the plane) – на борту корабля (самолета)

Поскольку вам нужно задать 5 прямых вопросов , вы должны знать, что в вопросительных структурах в английском языке используется обратный порядок слов. Не возможно поставить вопрос, только изменив интонацию предложения, как мы делаем это в русском языке.

Например:

В русском языке

Я могу заказать еду и напитки на борту яхты. (утверждение, интонация нисходящая)

Я могу заказать еду и напитки на борту яхты? (вопрос, интонация восходящая)

В английском языке

I can order some food and drinks on board the yacht. (утверждение, интонация нисходящая, порядок слов прямой: подлежащее + сказуемое)

Общие вопросы

Can I order any food and drinks on board the yacht? (вопрос, интонация восходящая, порядок слов обратный: вспомогательный или модальный глагол + подлежащее)

Специальные вопросы

How can I book the trip? (вопрос, интонация нисходящая, порядок слов: вопросительное слово + вспомогательный глагол + подлежащее)

В этом задании нельзя задавать косвенные вопросы типа Do you think I can book the trip on the phone или I wonder if I can book the trip on the phone.

Task 3

Imagine that these are photos from your photo album .

Choose one photo to present to your friend.

Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3

• where and when the photo was taken
• what / who is in the photo
• what is happening
• why you keep the photo in your album
• why you decided to show the picture to your friend

You have to talk continuously, starting with:

«I"ve chosen photo number...»

Sample answer

I"ve chosen photo number 2. (Обязательно начните ответ с этой фразы, предварительно выбрав номер фотографии).

You know, every summer we go to the seaside to have a good rest. So, I took this photo two years ago when our family went to Egypt on summer holidays. It was our first trip abroad.

In the foreground of the photo you can see my little brother Dmitry . He is riding a camel on a sandy beach. He looks very happy because he has never done it before. The camel is covered with bright colourful blanket made of wool. It also has got some funny pompons (decorations) on its head. The day is quite hot and sunny and there are no clouds in the sky. So, not to get sunburnt Dima is wearing a T-shirt.

The sea is very calm. You can notice several snow-white yachts (ships) against the skyline. Every day they take people for offshore excursions where one can watch dolphins and exotic species of fish.

As a rule, I always take a lot of pictures while travelling. I often show them to my friends and relatives to share the best and the most thrilling moments of our journeys. That’s why I keep them in my album .

I was really astonished (impressed, struck) by a funny look of the camel. It seems to me that the animal has got a smiling face. I decided to show this picture to you because I think it might improve your mood. I hope you find it amazing, too.

That is all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)

Task 4

Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:

• give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
• say what the pictures have in common
• say in what way the pictures are different
• say which of the activities presented in the pictures you’d prefer
• explain why

Now I am going to compare and contrast these two photos.

To start with I should admit that holidays are an integral part of our life no matter where we live. And these two photos are the evidence of what I have said.

Both pictures show people celebrating Christmas .

The first photo depicts a company of six young people who are enjoying a holiday season on a sandy beach. They are wearing swimming suits, sunglasses and Santa’s hats. I’m not sure but it seems to me that it is a team of life-guards. In the background of the picture you can see a decorated Christmas tree, a large inflatable snowman and Santa Claus.

As for the second picture it shows a young man and a young woman singing carols in the street which is beautifully decorated with lights. The weather is snowy and I suppose it’s pretty cold outside because they are wearing warm clothes, gloves and scarves. Even their dog has got a warm jacket and a scarf and that makes me think (I’ve got a feeling) that these people are very caring and love their pet very much.

As I have mentioned before the main similarity (the most obvious similarity) between these pictures is a festive atmosphere of Christmas. Also I get the impression that people in picture 1 and picture 2 are of the same age and look very joyful. Moreover , both pictures were taken outdoors (out-of-doors / in the open air).

Comparing these two pictures, I’d like to stress out that the most apparent (striking) difference between them is the season of the year. In the first photo the event might be taking place somewhere in Australia because Christmas Day usually falls in the middle of the summer in this country. In contrast, in the second picture you can see people in winter . I can only guess that they are probably British. Besides , picture No 1 was taken during the daytime , while picture No 2 was taken at night .
