Задание “Письмо” на ЕГЭ по английскому языку является заданием базового уровня сложности и похоже на аналогичное задание в экзамене ОГЭ, но главное отличие состоит в том, что в письме на ЕГЭ нужно написать три вопроса другу на заданную тему.

Рекомендую выполнять не более 20 минут, а после определенной тренировки ученик сможет писать это письмо сразу в бланк ответа на экзамене, чтобы не терять драгоценное время при переписывании с черновика на чистовик, что я бы и порекомендовала.

Максимум за это задание можно получить 6 баллов, и сделать это легко, если правильно понимать, по каким критериям эксперты оценивают письмо.

А вообще, чтобы написать задание 37 на максимальное количество баллов, советую приобрести учебник по написанию письма.

Критерии оценки

На сайте ФИПИ можно найти следующий документ с критериями оценки письма:

Рекомендую обратить внимание еще на дополнительную схему, беру её с учениками на уроке для наглядности оценивания:

Не будем пугаться многобукаф, а разберем каждый критерий подробнее на примере ответа на вот это письмо-стимул.

Решение коммуникативной задачи (2 балла)

Возьмем первую колонку слева “решение коммуникативной задачи”. Что в этом пункте хотят составители экзамена?! Чтобы он:

    • дал ответы на 3 вопроса (What is the weather like in Russia in summer? What is your favourite season and why this one? What are your plans for the summer?) + задал 3 вопроса по теме (ask 3 questions about his uncle)
    • писал неофициально (В письме использовал сокращения, например, don’t вместо полной формы do not и разговорные фразы, вроде It’s amazing to get news from you!)
    • правильно оформил письмо. То есть, корректно написал вступление и заключение (пример, как их писать правильно, будет ниже)
    • не завысил и не снизил объем письма.

В тексте задания написано, что допустимый объем – 100-140 слов, но экспертами допускается отклонение на 10% в любую сторону, то есть фактически можно написать 90-154 слов. И если будет написано меньше, то письмо не будут проверять вообще (значит ученик получит 0 баллов), а если написано больше – отчеркнут 140 слов, и все, что дальше, проверять не будут. Следовательно, если в эти 140 заветных слов не попали завершающая фраза, или ссылка на дальнейшие контакты, проверяющий просто поставит минусы по этим критериям. Но по факту, если строго следовать образцу ниже, 154+ слов написать затруднительно.

Кстати, про критерии подсчета слов. Считаются все слова, с первого слова по последнее, включая вспомогательные глаголы, предлоги, артикли, частицы. Подпись также подлежат подсчёту. При этом:

         стяжённые (краткие) формы can’t, didn’t, isn’t, I’m и т.п. считаются как одно слово;

         числительные, выраженные цифрами, т.е. 1, 25, 2009, 126 204 и т.п., считаются как одно слово;

         числительные, выраженные цифрами, вместе с условным обозначением процентов, т.е. 25%, 100% и т.п., считаются как одно слово;

         числительные, выраженные словами, считаются как слова;

         сложные слова, такие как good-looking, well-bred, English-speaking, twenty-five, считаются как одно слово;

         сокращения, например USA, e-mail, TV, CD-rom, считаются как одно слово;

         слова, написанные неправильно, например, без дефиса well bread, будут составлять при подсчете 2 слова, а написанные wellbread как одно (т.е. подсчет идет по факту написания).

Вы обратили внимание на примечание под критериями оценки письма?! Надеюсь, обратили, и будете понимать, что если ученик получит 0 за коммуникативный аспект, то и за все письмо поставят 0. Но сделать это может только невменяемый человек, который попал на ЕГЭ по английскому, потому что ошибся дверью, то есть с теми, кто готовится к этому заданию, такое вряд ли случится.

А теперь “скелет” письма, который выдаю своим ученикам. Предлагаю брать его за основу и просто добавлять всю запрашиваемую информацию.

(красная строка) Dear Yoda,   (обращение)

(красная строка) Thank you for your recent letter. I hope you’re ok. (благодарность за письмо)

(красная строка) In your letter you write that … (тут мы реагируем на вести от друга, в нашем примере у него как раз начались летние каникулы, поэтому здесь подойдет “In your letter you write that you’re going to have a long holiday. That’s amazing!”) Далее – ответы на 3 вопроса.

(красная строка) As for your news, I have some questions about … (Плавно переходим к вопросам другу)

(красная строка) Now it’s time to finish my letter. Write back soon. (вежливое завершение письма+упоминание о дальнейших контактах)

(красная строка) All the best, (завершающая фраза)

(красная строка) Luke (подпись)

42 слова.

Нам осталось при ответах на вопросы + в своих вопросах написать еще около 30-45 слов, чтобы попасть в необходимое число слов.

Организация текста (2 балла)

Здесь ученика балуют 2 баллами, если он:

  • логично пишет (в смысле, отвечает на все вопросы последовательно, а не путает местами ответы на вопросы, не начинает отвечать на первый вопрос, потом отвечает на второй и снова перескакивает к ответу на первый) + использует средства логической связи (because, so, and, that’s why, for, however и подобные им)
  • поделил текст на абзацы + написал адрес-дату-вступление-заключение с красной строки (как в скелете письма выше)

Языковое оформление высказывания (2 балла)

Для получения 2 баллов нужно всего лишь сделать не больше 2 негрубых грамматических и лексических ошибок, а также не более 2-ух негрубых пунктуационных ошибок. Если их от 2-4 (лексико-грамматических или пунктуационных), то ученик получит 1 балл, в больше 4-х – 0 баллов за языковое оформление высказывания.

Что это за грубая ошибка такая? Как ее отличить от негрубой?

Это когда 11-классник допускает ошибку в базовой грамматике или лексике – неправильно употребляет время, путает порядок слов в предложении, не может согласовать число и лицо подлежащего и сказуемого, пишет неопределенный артикль перед множественным числом, употребляет существительное вместо прилагательного, не знает значения или написания элементарных слов – в общем, все то, что существенно затрудняет понимание написанного.

Еще я бы хотела рассказать, как классифицировать ошибки в письме.

Лексические ошибки

Давайте разберем, какие ошибки носят гордое название “Лексические”. Это:

  • неправильно употребленное слово в контексте (I wouldn’t speak so вместо I wouldn’t say so)
  • ошибка в сочетаемости (make homework вместо do homework)
  • пропуск слова, если он не влияет на грамматическую структуру предложения (I am very well familiar (пропущен предлог with) the topic)
  • ошибки в словообразовании, если часть речи не меняется (например, unresponsible вместо irresponsible)
  • ошибка в фразовом глаголе (give in smoking вместо give up smoking)
  • орфографическая ошибка, которая меняет значение слова (thing вместо think, whether вместо weather)

Грамматические ошибки

Эксперт при проверке задания 37 выносит на поля грамматическую ошибку, если ошибка:

  • в любой грамматической форме, будь то форма глагола, множественного числа сущ., степени сравнения и в любой теме из раздела “Грамматические темы” кодификатора
  • в порядке слов в предложении (например, I don’t know what are you talking about. – Во второй части предложения обратный порядок слов, хотя знака вопроса не стоит)
  • есть пропуск слова, влияющий на структуру предложения (например, I fond of summer rather than winter. – Отсутствует глагол-связка “am”)
  • в словообразовании, если меняется часть речи (например, хотели написать “политик” (politician), а написали politic (политический)

Орфографические и пунктуационные ошибки

В письме орфографическими ошибками считаются:

  • Все ошибки, не меняющие значения слова (например, collegue, becouse, languaege)
    (Если ошибка меняет значение слова, она становится лексической – например, thing вместо think, whether вместо weather)
  • Если слово в работе написано один раз правильно, а остальные – неправильно, это считается ошибкой
  • Если буква или слово написаны неразборчиво, слово считается написанным неверно

Во всей письменной части экзамена ученик может выбрать либо британский, либо американский вариант написания слова – favourite/ favorite, colour/ color, drugstore/ pharmacy, crisps/ chips. И придерживаться выбранного варианта до конца. То есть, если в одном предложении написано colour, а в другом – favorite, такая вариативность будет записана в число ошибок.

Теперь про пунктуацию. Не забудьте про сокращения в письме (в отличие от задания 40, где они отнимут у вас баллы) – смело пишите всякие don’t, musnt’t, aren’t и т.п.

Если работа будет написана “как курица лапой” (привет учителям русского языка из моего детства=)) – то есть, в ней много зачеркиваний – эксперт имеет право снизить оценку на полбалла.

На самом деле, получить максимум – 6 баллов – за выполнение этого задания совсем несложно, надо просто хорошо попрактиковаться.

Образец

А вот образец письма на максимум 6 баллов, ответ на письмо-стимул про здоровый образ жизни выше:

Dear Ronny,

Thank you for your recent letter. I hope you’re ok.

In your letter you write that you’re going to have a long holiday. That’s amazing! I hope the weather would help you enjoy your holiday. We usually have hot weather in Russia in summer, with occasional thunderstorms. My favourite season is definitely summer because we have really long school holidays in summer and I can go to visit my granny in the countryside and play with my friends. This summer we are going to visit my granny too and after that we’ll go to the seaside.

As for your news, I have some questions about your uncle Keith. How old is he? Does he work or study? Where does he live?

Now it’s time to finish my letter. Write back soon.

All the best,

Irina

Как писать

Итак, получаете задание, что нужно делать:

  1. Внимательно читаем письмо, смотрим на имя друга и его пишем в начале письма. Будете смеяться, но некоторые как выучили шаблон, так и пишут везде Dear Yoda, не важно, от кого письмо на самом деле – От Леи или Хана Соло.
  2. Изучаем вопросы и думаем, как будем отвечать на них. Обратите внимание, что есть коварные вопросы, которые выглядят как один, а на самом деле их там два! Например, Do you like watching films, why? Надо написать не только да-нет, но еще обосновать точку зрения. Или Where and when do you usually go shopping? Где и когда – два вопросительных слова, и ответа на них тоже должно быть два. Поэтому односложные ответы на такие вопросы ведут к потере баллов.
  3. Смотрим на тему, по которой нужно задать вопросы. Внимание! Она написана не в конце письма, а в задании ниже текста письма! Здесь ученики делают больше всего ляпов – посмотрят, чем заканчивается письмо, и давай спрашивать, на чем друг остановился. А задание-то другое! И поставят им -1 балл за невыполнение коммуникативной задачи. Вот пример такого письма-ловушки:
    … In our city we have an annual competition for teenagers who make their own short films. This year I got the second prize for a film about my grandparents. Do you think it’s important to record family history? Who do you think should do it? How can it be done best? This month is my mom’s birthday and now I am thinking about a gift for her. I want it to be very special…
    Write a letter to Tom. In your letter-
    − answer his questions-
    − ask 3 questions about his mom
    Видите конец письма? Про день рождения мамы и про подарок на него. А вопросы нужно задать про маму! Поэтому вопросы в стиле Where are you going to celebrate your mom’s birthday? What are you planning to present her? Will she invite a lot of people to her party? будут не по теме.
    В тему здесь будет спросить How old is your mom? Where does she work? What does she look like?
  4. Написать письмо, правильно разделив его на абзацы и отступив красную строку (или можно строчку между абзацами пропустить не важно) и проверить себя на ошибки. Наиболее частыми ошибками у учащихся при написании письма являются:
    – артикли (забывают о них вообще, или ставят не те)
    – времена (временной маркер показывает на present perfect, а пишут past simple)
    – правописание (beautifull вместо beautiful или буквы в словах из-за спешки пропускают)
    Anyway, сдающих экзамен всегда вооружаю золотым правилом: Не знаешь или сомневаешься – не пиши! Замени синонимом или вообще убери плохо знакомое слово из текста.
  5. Подсчитайте, сколько слов получилось. Нужно – 100-140. На погрешность 90 – 154 советую не рассчитывать, мало ли, обсчитаетесь из-за спешки, и балл снимут, обидно будет.
  6. Когда будете переписывать свой ответ в экзаменационный бланк, не забудьте в начале написать номер задания – Задание 37. Организуйте свое время так, чтобы на экзамене вы успели переписать все письменное задание в бланк. Сочинение, написанное на черновик, не проверяется.

Подготовка

Подготовка к этому заданию не отнимет много времени и нервов ни у вас, ни у ученика. Объясняете схему написания письма и пишете-пишете-пишете. Еще очень полезно разбирать письма предыдущих лет и давать ученикам самим оценить ту или иную работу. Чтобы сам понимал, за что и сколько баллов могут снять и учился на чужих ошибках. Утопия, конечно, но мало ли, научится. Если не накопилось своих примеров писем учеников, их можно найти здесь наряду с критериями оценки и примерами разбора ошибок.

Письма советую брать в соответствии с лексической темой, которую сейчас проходите. Поможет с рециркуляцией лексики (например, у меня в Плане ЕГЭ так и сделано). Кроме Открытого банка заданий ЕГЭ, который я всегда рекомендую в первую очередь, письма-стимулы можно брать еще и отсюда:  учебник по написанию личного письма.

ELTgram от Ирины Кузнецовой

Задание № 37 на ЕГЭ по английскому языку – написание личного электронного письма.

Задание имеет базовый уровень сложности, поэтому при должной подготовке справиться с ним не очень сложно.

В демонстрационном варианте ФИПИ на 2023 год нам предлагается следующее письмо-стимул:

Итак, в задании требуется написать личное электронное письмо другу Ронни (имя указывается в задании), при этом необходимо ПОЛНО и ТОЧНО ответить на заданные три вопроса и задать три вопроса другу на КОНКРЕТНУЮ ТЕМУ (в данном случае – about his uncle).

Количество слов: 90 – 154 (так как допускается отклонение в 10% от указанных границ в 100-140 слов). Если Вы пишете меньше 90 слов, то письмо проверяться не будет. Если Вы пишете больше 154 слов, то эксперт будет проверять первые 140 слов, поэтому укладывайтесь в заданные рамки!

Как считать слова?

Считаем все слова, начиная с обращения, артикли, предлоги и другие служебные слова также считаются.

При этом за одно слово считаются:

  1. Числительные, выраженные цифрами или словами: 210, ninety-one;
  2. Сложные слова: pop-singer, English-speaking;
  3. Краткие (стяженные) формы: I’ve, it’s, don’t, can’t, won’t, wasn’t;
  4. Сокращения: TV, e-mail, UK.

Далее мы рассмотрим, что должно быть в содержании Вашего личного электронного письма. Обратите внимание, что адрес и дату указывать не нужно.

ПЛАН ПИСЬМА

  • обращение (слева, на отдельной строке), например, Dear Jim/Alice, Hello/ Hi Jim/Alice;
  • благодарность за полученное письмо, ссылка на предыдущие контакты не является обязательной (начало письма) например, «Thank you for your (recent) message. I was very glad to hear from you (again)», «Thanks for writing to me. I’m always glad to get emails./ I always like to read your emails. /I enjoy reading your messages and writing to you.» и т.д;
  • ответы на три вопроса друга по переписке (основная часть письма). Для того чтобы письмо было логичным, можно использовать фразы: «You asked me about … Well, I can say that …» или «As you are interested in … I’d like to tell you that …» и т. п.;
  • три вопроса другу по переписке на тему, указанную в задании, при этом не забываем про соединительную фразу/предложение, чтобы вопросы были логично связаны с предыдущим текстом;
  • упоминание о дальнейших контактах, например, «Write back soon»; «Hope to hear from you soon»; «Please, write to me soon» и т. д. (можно писать на отдельной строке или в конце текущего абзаца);
  • завершающая фраза, например, «Best wishes»; «All the best»; «With love»; «Yours» (на отдельной строке);
  • подпись автора (только Ваше имя, на отдельной строке).

КРИТЕРИИ ОЦЕНИВАНИЯ ПИСЬМА

  1. Решение коммуникативной задачи (2 балла);
  2. Организация текста (2 балла);
  3. Языковое оформление текста (2 балла).

Максимальное количество баллов за задание – 6.

Давайте рассмотрим такой образец личного письма:

Hi Ronny, 
Thank you for the e-mail! I am glad to hear from you. I'm sorry I couldn't answer earlier because I was busy with my exams.
In your message you asked me about summer. You know, the weather here is varied in this season. It can be rather hot in the south of the country and cool in the north. As for me, I prefer summer, this is the season when we have vacations. This summer I am planning to go the summer camp, then my parents are going to take me to the country.
By the way, I'd like to know more about your uncle. Where does your uncle live? Has he got a family? How long is he going to stay with you? I've got to go now, as I've got lots of homework to do. 
Keep in touch!
Yours, 
Alice

В данном письме 145 слов (в рамки уложились).

В обращении должно быть имя, после имени не забываем ставить запятую!

В начале электронного письма должна быть выражена благодарность за полученное письмо, ссылка на предыдущие контакты не является обязательной:

Thank you for your e-mail! I am glad to hear from you!

В следующем предложении желательно написать о том, почему мы не могли ответить ранее и извиниться за задержку:

I’m sorry I couldn’t answer earlier because I was busy with my exams.

Переходим к ответам на вопросы при помощи такого соединительного предложения:

In your message you asked me about summer.

Отвечаем на каждый вопрос одним сложным или двумя простыми предложениями. Одно простое предложение в качестве ответа на вопрос считается как неполный ответ.

You know, the weather here is varied in this season. It can be rather hot in the south of the country and cool in the north. As for me, I prefer summer, this is the season when we have vacations. This summer I am planning to go the summer camp, then my parents are going to take me to the country.

Далее мы задаем три вопроса другу по конкретной теме. В данном случае, например, необходимо задать вопросы про дядю:

By the way, I’d like to know more about your uncle. Where does your uncle live? Has he got a family? How long is he going to stay with you?

Завершаем письмо, указывая причину:

I’ve got to go now, as I’ve got lots of homework to do.

Указываем ссылку на будущие контакты:

Keep in touch!

Пишем завершающую фразу и Ваше имя на отдельной строке, точки в конце не ставим:

Yours,

Alice

Для осуществления логической связи между предложениями Вам необходимо использовать в тексте письма вводные слова и выражения, а также личные местоимения.

В данном примере были использованы:

As for me, – что касается меня

You know, – ты знаешь

By the way, – кстати

В письме достаточно 3-4 таких выражений, не перегружайте ими письмо, а также помните о стиле, такие выражения, как “moreover”, “nevertheless” и прочие, характерные для публицистического/официального стиля, нам не подойдут.

Как часто за 11 лет учёбы в школе вам приходилось писать настоящие бумажные письма? Наверное, хоть раз в жизни вы всё-таки писали письма деду Морозу или оставляли любовные записки на парте, но навряд ли у вас был друг по переписке. Сейчас это сложно представить, но раньше люди общались именно так — с помощью писем и почтовых открыток. Благодаря заданию 39 у нас есть такая возможность — вернуться в прошлое и почувствовать, каково это дружить с кем-то, когда у нас нет ни интернета, ни телефона, а только лишь обычная почта.

Возможно, вы ещё никогда не писали бумажных писем, и вам кажется, что вы не справитесь с этой задачей — мы с радостью вам в этом поможем. Не переживайте — научиться писать письма совсем несложно, если у вас под рукой все необходимые материалы! Полезные ресурсы по подготовке к ЕГЭ можно легко найти на сайте Инглиш Шоу — онлайн уроки, разговорные клубы, образовательные статьи и множество других бесплатных материалов в открытом доступе!

В этой статье мы вместе разберем ключевые моменты задания ЕГЭ «Личное письмо», расскажем, чему уделить больше внимания при подготовке и как набрать максимальное количество баллов.

>Основные правила личного письма

Личное письмо — одно из самых простых заданий ЕГЭ по английскому языку.

Как и в любом сочинении, в личном письме есть свои правила, а именно:

  • минимум 100 слов (дальше вы узнаете, почему это важно)
  • тема письма (поверьте, это имеет значение)
  • правильный подсчет слов (даже здесь не обойтись без математики)

А также не забудьте про следующие must have:

  • шаблон письма
  • ответы на три вопроса друга
  • три ваших собственных вопроса другу.

Если вы ещё только в самом начале подготовки к заданию 39, то мы расскажем, что такое personal letter.

Итак, перед вами отрывок из письма вымышленного англоговорящего друга. В нём он/она делится своими новостями или рассказывает вам какую-то историю из жизни. В свою очередь, от вас требуется одно — написать ему/ей ответное письмо. Ваше письмо обязательно должно содержать:

  • ответы на 3 вопроса из письма друга
  • 3 вопроса вашему другу по теме письма.

Почему важно количество слов?

Во-первых, при написании personal letter количество слов составляет 100-140.

Это значит, что уже при подготовке вам необходимо определить примерный объем, которого вы будете придерживаться на экзамене. Не менее важно оценить собственные силы, и из-за ограниченного времени (примерно 20-30 минут), стоит заранее выбрать наиболее выигрышную тактику.

Так, например, если вы не хотите терять время на данный тип эссе и рассчитываете на минимальный порог в 100 слов, то стоит придерживаться короткого рассказа. В нем не должно быть сложных конструкций, которые перегружают текст и уводят вас от упрощенного плана письма. Старайтесь как можно проще излагать свои мысли и не углубляться в подробности, ведь ваша цель — правильно ответить на все вопросы и уложиться в требуемый минимум слов.

Однако если вам, наоборот, гораздо легче справиться с informal letter за счет большего объема в 140 слов, то смело заготавливайте красноречивые обороты речи и не бойтесь перенасытить ими ваше эссе. Несмотря на больший объем письма, вы не потеряете драгоценное время, поскольку подобная тактика вам определённо ближе и понятнее. Вы без проблем справитесь с этим заданием, имея лично ваш список фраз и конструкций, в которых вы уверены. К тому же, это неплохой способ отличиться своим уникальным стилем.

Не забывайте о теме письма

Во-вторых, важно помнить **о заявленной теме письма**. Самая досадная ошибка студентов это неправильный ответ на поставленный вопрос. Несмотря на то, что в вашем личном письме может и не быть ни одной орфографической, грамматической или любой другой ошибки, а структура эссе верно соблюдена, но из-за неправильного ответа на вопросы (или если ваш ответ относится к абсолютно другой теме), в таком случае итоговый балл за задание personal letter равен 0.

«2 пишу, 1 в уме»

Не менее важным элементом этого задания является **правильный подсчет слов** всего написанного текста. Для этого необходимо знать, какие именно формы слов считаются за одно слово, а не два или три. Поэтому обратите внимание на приведенный ниже список, где указаны формы равные 1 слову:

  • краткие формы (I’m, I’ve, it’s, doesn’t, haven’t),
  • числительные, выраженные цифрами (1, 32, 458),
  • числительные, выраженные словами (forty-two),
  • сложные слова (good-looking, well-bred, English-speaking, pop-star),
  • сокращения (UK, e-mail, TV )

Полезные фразы и клише для письма личного характера

Исправить на более разговорный стиль

1. Скажите «спасибо» вашему другу за полученное письмо:

  • Thanks for your letter. It was great/lovely to hear from you — Спасибо за твое письмо. Мне было очень приятно услышать твои новости
  • Thanks for your recent letter — Спасибо за твое последнее письмо

2. Напомните другу, как вы рады получать от него письма:

Записаться

  • I was really pleased to hear that… — Я был очень рад узнать…
  • I’m sorry I haven’t written for so long, but… — Извини, что я не писал тебе так долго, но…
  • I’m very sorry about not replying to your letter sooner but I’ve been extremely busy — Прости, что я не ответил на твое письмо раньше, я был ужасно занят

3. Поделитесь с вашим другом, как вам приятно узнавать о его новостях:

  • It is so nice to get news about you and your family — Так приятно получать новости о тебе и твоей семье.
  • I’m really glad you passed your History test — Я действительно рад, что ты сдал тест по Истории.
  • I am really happy that you had a great holiday — Я очень рад, что у тебя был хороший отпуск.

4. Не забывайте про вводные конструкции! Они лучше всего помогают плавно перейти к вашему ответу на вопрос друга:

5. Извинитесь перед другом за то, что вам приходится заканчивать письмо:

  • I must go now, my mother is waiting for me — Я должен идти, мама ждет меня
  • Well, I’d better go now. I’ve got to get ready for my piano class — Ну, мне пора идти. Я должен подготовиться к своим занятиям по фортепиано
  • Well, I must finish now. It’s already 11 o’clock — Ну, мне пора заканчивать. Сейчас уже 11 часов.
  • If you want to know anything else, just drop me a line — Если тебе интересно узнать что-то еще, напиши мне хоть строчку
  • Well, that’s all for now. Do write back soon — У меня пока на этом всё. До скорого
  • That’s all my news for now… — Пока что это все мои новости…

6. Закончите письмо максимально неформальной фразой:

  • Best wishes — С наилучшими пожеланиями
  • All the best — Всего наилучшего
  • Take care — Береги себя
  • With love — С любовью
  • Lots of love — С любовью
  • Yours, — Твой/твоя (не забывайте про запятую)

Если хотите, чтобы ваше письмо было похоже на настоящую переписку двух друзей, то помните о словах-связках:

  • Дополнения: first, also, finally — во-первых, также, наконец
  • Противопоставления: but, however — но, однако
  • Примеры: such as, for example — такой как, например
  • Рассуждения: as, because — так как, потому что
  • О времени: when, while — когда, в то время как
  • В начале фразы: Anyway, Well, — Во всяком случае, Хорошо (помните про запятую)

Шаблон и примеры письма для ЕГЭ по английскому языку

  • В правом верхнем углу укажите адрес:

    Russia

  • Под адресом напишите дату письма:

  • Начните письмо с обращения, имя собеседника  указано в задании:

    Dear Bill,

    Dear Mary,

    После обращения обязательно ставится запятая! Не поставите – потеряете балл.

  1. В первом абзаце следует поблагодарить своего друга за его письмо и упомянуть о предыдущих контактах.

    Thanks a lot for your last letter. Glad to hear from you again.

    Вы можете также извиниться за то, что не писали раньше:

    Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long but I was really busy with my school.

  2. Основная часть письма. В ней вы должны раскрыть все аспекты, указанные в задании.

    In your letter you ask me about…** (определите тему письма)**.** Ответьте на все вопросы.

    Используйте неформальные слова-связки: well, by the way, so, anyway, actually, besides, also, все они выделяются запятой.

  3. Не забудьте задать необходимые вопросы. В задании к письму указано, какие должны быть 3 вопроса.

    Начать можно так: By the way, tell me more about…

  4. В последнем абзаце можно объяснить, почему вы заканчиваете письмо:

    Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework.

    и обязательно упомянуть о дальнейших контактах с адресатом:

    Write back soon!

    Drop me a letter when you can.

    Looking forward to your answer.

    В конце письма на отдельной строке указывается завершающая фраза

    Love,

    Best wishes,

    На следующей строке под завершающей фразой указывается имя автора (без фамилии). Например:

    Kate (точка не ставится)

0/06/21

Dear Jack,

Thank you for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written to you for a long time, it has been hectic here. Please, don’t be angry with me!

In your letter you ask some questions. In my county, it is unusual for people to move from big cities to villages, as in a big city you have many opportunities of building a successful career.

As for me, I like living in a city, as life here is much more interesting and active than it can be in the country.

My parents also support the idea of living in a city, they think here they can have a good job, which is very significant nowadays.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Andrew

Критерии оценивания личного письма

Хотите почувствовать себя в роли ЕГЭ проверяющего и взглянуть на свою работу его глазами? Это абсолютно реально, если вы будете знать о критериях оценивания, которыми пользуются учителя. Так, ещё до экзамена вы без труда предугадаете количество баллов за ваше личное письмо. А главное, вы не потеряете драгоценные баллы, так как уже будете знать все правила игры ЕГЭ части С1. И как говорит народная мудрость «предупреждён — значит вооружён».

Важно! Эксперты обращают внимание на **три основных критерия** — Решение коммуникативной задачи, Организация и Языковое оформление.

Не забывайте про эти важные правила, если хотите набрать больше баллов в этой «игре».

Попробуем разобраться, что означает каждое из этих правил и сколько баллов они дают.

Правило номер 1 — Решение коммуникативной задачи — 2 балла, если:

  • отвечаете на все вопросы из письма друга
  • задаёте свои 3 вопроса (строго придерживайтесь темы и «настроения» письма друга)
  • обращаетесь к другу вежливо и с уважением
  • напоминаете другу о вашей прошлой переписке
  • благодарите друга за письмо
  • искренне надеетесь, что получите от него письмо в ответ
  • пишете в неофициальным стиле
  • помните об оформлении:

    1. обращение на отдельной строке
    2. завершающая фраза на отдельной строке
    3. подпись автора на отдельной строке,
    4. адрес автора (только город) и дата в правом верхнем углу

Правило номер 2 — Организация — 2 балла:

  • ваше письмо логично связано (одна цельная идея, а не множество разных)
  • весь текст разбит на абзацы (обязательно 3 абзаца)
  • присутствуют слова-связки (well, also, by the way, anyway, so, actually)

Совет: новый абзац можно начинать с “красной строки”, отступив несколько знаков от начала строки или без “красной строки”, но отступая лишнюю строку от предыдущего абзаца.

Правило номер 3 — Языковое оформление — 2 балла:

  • у вас хороший словарный запас

    1. Живые разговорные выражения: Guess what? Wish me luck
    2. Междометия: Hurray! Yahoo!
  • не допускаете грамматических, орфографических и пунктуационных ошибок

Совет: Личное письмо — задание базового уровня. В отличие от эссе здесь не ждут продвинутых грамматических конструкций и очень сложной лексики. Пишите просто и без ошибок.

Соблюдая эти 3 правила, вы сможете набрать максимально 6 баллов.

Итак, в данной статье мы полностью разобрали всю структуру personal letter и познакомились со всеми особенностями данного задания. Не всё так сложно, как вам могло показаться! Надеемся, что теперь вы стали увереннее в своих силах и обязательно справитесь с заданием personal letter в ЕГЭ по английскому языку!
