- Our never sleeping part
- Influence on academic results
- Advantages of bedtime routine
- Good sleeping conditions
- Pre-sleep activities
- Sleeping classes
- A negative effect on health
- The mechanism of dreaming
- Recent research shows that lots of teenagers are suffering from lack of sleep which is causing problems with their behaviour and learning. As a result schools have introduced a new lesson where students are given more of an idea of the importance of sleep. According to medical data, they should get at least nine hours’ sleep a night. Young people should realise that sleep is very important if they want to do well at school and enjoy life.
- It’s common knowledge that people sleep best in a dark room that is slightly cool. It’s important to close your blinds or curtains and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out the light. You can add extra blankets or wear pyjamas if you’re cold. Note that an uncomfortable bed, heat and noise can ruin a good night’s sleep. A TV is also a distraction.
- If you don’t sleep enough or have a disturbed sleep you can get heart disease, high blood pressure and even diabetes. People who don’t sleep enough get colds and flu more often than those who do. Moreover, recent research proves that poor sleepers gain weight more easily than people who sleep well. Extra kilos are the reaction of the body to the stressful sleepless situation.
- Think twice before watching a movie late at night. Don’t spend sleeping time on endless computer games. The thing is that by getting up and going to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends, you teach your body to follow a healthy regime. You’ll quickly fall asleep, will have a good night’s sleep and will wake up at the expected time feeling fresh and active.
- Some easy steps can prepare your body for going to sleep. You probably have some regular bedtime habits, even if you don’t realise it. Brushing your teeth, taking a shower, reading a book and setting your alarm clock may all be part of your evening routine. Remember that you should perform these activities in the same manner and in the same order every night.
- Sleepless nights at exam time are very bad for students. If you prepare for your exam late at night, it will not improve your performance during the exam. On the contrary, it will affect your ability to concentrate, to react quickly and to analyse information. Recent research shows that the results of the tests written after sleepless nights are lower than usual grades.
- If you think that during sleep, the brain rests, you’re mistaken. It’s a common myth about sleep. Sleep is definitely needed – but it’s not your brain that needs to rest, it’s your body that needs to relax. Your brain is still working when you’re asleep, controlling physical functions like breathing and your heart beat. However, because the brain does not have to go through the constant stress of thinking, you get up refreshed and recharged

Flooding has become a grave concern for many areas of the UK. Possibly due to global warming, it seems that the UK is getting wetter and wetter as each year passes. Recent rains have ruined thousands of peoples homes A ________ .
The UK is no stranger to floods. For centuries citizens in London suffered from tidal surges that would creep up the river Thames and flood the city. For this reason, the British government decided to build a barrier, known as the Thames Barrier, B ________ .
Built in the late 1970s, the barrier has saved the country billions of pounds in building repairs. It has saved lives also; the 1928 Thames flood killed 14 people, and 307 people died in the North Sea flood of 1953. After this, the importance of building C ________ .
The barrier, constructed in southeast London, is a marvel to look at. The concrete barrier supports are topped with huge domes of polished steel that look very futuristic. The barrier works by tilting large platforms, D ________ , upwardly into a vertical position in order to block the flow of water. Since its construction, the floodgates have been closed over 160 times.
The barrier was built with the future in mind, and designed to withstand devastating flood conditions. At some point, however, it will have to be fortified, as estimates predict that it will lose E ________ . More will need to be done to extend its usefulness.
The barrier has been successful for London, but it was designed specifically to protect the capital city. In other regions of the UK, it will take more F ________ .
- to protect the country’s wide expanses of rural farmland from flooding
- a barrier was thrust to the forefront of government policy
- and left many of them homeless for months
- which have saved numerous lives in the decades since being built
- a great deal of its protection powers after the year 2070
- which lie flat on the river bed during normal sea and weather conditions
- to keep the floodwater from spilling over into the streets

“Now listen, Doctor, and I’ll tell you something. Did you know that animals can talk?” asked the parrot. “I knew that parrots can talk,” said the Doctor. “Oh, we parrots can talk in two languages — people’s language and bird-language,” said Polynesia proudly. “If I say, ‘Polly wants a cracker,’
you understand me. But hear this: Ka-ka oi-ee, fee-fee?”
“Good Gracious!” cried the Doctor. “What does that mean?”
“That means, ‘Is the porridge hot yet?’ — in bird-language.”
“My! You don’t say so!” said the Doctor. “You never talked that way to me before.”
“What would have been the use?” said Polynesia. “You wouldn’t have understood me if I had.”
“Tell me some more,” said the Doctor, all excited; and he rushed over to the dresser-drawer and
came back with a book and a pencil. “Now don’t go too fast — and I’ll write it down. This is interesting — very interesting — something quite new. Give me the Birds’ ABC first – slowly now.”
So that was the way the Doctor came to know that animals had a language of their own and сould talk to one another. And all that afternoon Polynesia gave him bird words to put down in the book. After a while, with the parrot’s help, the Doctor learnt the language of the animals so well that he could talk to them himself and understand everything they said. Then he gave up being a people’s doctor altogether. Old ladies began to bring him their pet dogs who had eaten too much cake; and farmers came many miles to show him cows which had the flu, and sheep with broken bones.
One day a plough-horse was brought to him; and the poor thing was terribly glad to find a man who could talk in horse-language. “You know, Doctor,” said the horse, “that vet over the hill knows nothing at all. I am going blind in one eye. But that stupid man over the hill never even looked at my eyes. He kept on giving me big pills. I tried to tell him; but he couldn’t understand a word of horse-language. What I need is spectacles. I would like a pair like yours — only green. They’ll keep the sun out of my eyes while I’m ploughing the Fifty-Acre Field.” “Certainly,” said the Doctor. “Green ones you shall have.” And soon it became a common sight to see farm-animals wearing glasses in the country round Puddleby; and from then on there was never a blind horse.
And so it was with all the other animals that were brought to him. As soon as they found that he could talk their language, they told him where the pain was and how they felt, and of course it was easy for him to cure them. Whenever any creatures got sick — not only horses and cows and dogs, but all the little things of the fields, like harvest mice and water voles, badgers and bats — they came at once to his house on the edge of the town, so his big garden was nearly always crowded with animals trying to get in to see him.
Once an Italian organ grinder came round with a monkey on a string. The Doctor saw at once that the monkey’s collar was too tight and that he was dirty and unhappy. So he took away the monkey from the Italian, gave the man a shilling and told him to go away. The organ grinder got very angry and said that he wanted to keep the monkey. But the Doctor wouldn’t let him and said he would look after the monkey from then on. So the Italian went away saying rude things and the monkey stayed with Doctor Dolittle and had a good home. The other animals in the house called him “Chee-Chee” — which, in monkey-language, means “ginger”.
Doctor Dolittle is surprised and excited that …
1) parrots can speak more than one language.
2) the parrot is asking about the porridge.
3) Polynesia has never spoken to him before.
4) birds have their own language.

2) the whole alphabet in bird language.
3) words starting with A, B or C in bird language.
4) every word in bird languages

Whenever any creatures got sick — not only horses and cows and dogs, but all the little things of the fields, like harvest mice and water voles, badgers and bats — they came at once to his house on the edge of the town, so his big garden was nearly always crowded with animals trying to get in to see him.
Once an Italian organ grinder came round with a monkey on a string. The Doctor saw at once that the monkey’s collar was too tight and that he was dirty and unhappy. So he took away the monkey from the Italian, gave the man a shilling and told him to go away. The organ grinder got very angry and said that he wanted to keep the monkey. But the Doctor wouldn’t let him and said he would look after the monkey from then on. So the Italian went away saying rude things and the monkey stayed with Doctor Dolittle and had a good home. The other animals in the house called him “Chee-Chee” — which, in monkey-language, means “ginger”.
The text is about …
1) learning new languages.
2) how similar people and animals are.
3) the ability to communicate.
4) how to be a good doctor.

Every time you go online you leave a trail. This is just like a real footprint. It reveals where you’ve been, how long you stayed and what you’ve been doing there. Every time you register for an online service, send an email, download a video or upload a photo, the information can be accessed and your digital footprint can be revealed. This shouldn’t necessarily be worrying but it is advisable to be aware of your digital footprint and to be cautious and sensible when you are online.
All kinds of people are interested in your digital footprint. It’s now quite common for colleges, universities and employers to check out the online profiles of possible candidates as part of their application process. There are cases of people having missed out on jobs and places in college because their digital footprint didn’t impress the recruiters. So, remember: keep safe, don’t put too much personal information online and always think carefully before you post something. Ask yourself, ‘Would I be happy for absolutely everyone to see this?

Аудирование является самым первым аспектом письменного этапа единого государственного экзамена по английскому языку. Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно заработать за этот аспект – 20. Здесь мы разберемся в типах заданий на аудирование и в том, как успешно их решить.
Аудирование по английскому языку включает три задания. В первом задании вы услышите шесть кратких высказываний и получите семь утверждений (тезисов). Ваша задача состоит в том, что вы должны подобрать к каждому высказыванию подходящее утверждение (тезис). Одно утверждение (тезис) лишний. Во втором задании вы услышите диалог и опять же получите семь утверждений. На это раз вы должны определить степень достоверности каждого утверждения, т.е. сказать, верное ли оно (True), ложное (False) либо об это вообще не было речи (Not stated). В третьем задании вы также услышите диалог (интервью) и получите девять вопросов, у каждого из которых будет по три варианта ответа. Вам надо выбрать правильный ответ. Далее мы рассмотрим подробно каждое задание на аудирование и попробуем свои силы в их выполнении.
- Аудирование, задание 1.
Само задание формулируется следующим образом:
“Сейчас Вы будете выполнять задания по аудированию. Каждый текст прозвучит 2 раза. После первого и второго прослушивания у Вас будет время для выполнения и проверки заданий. Все паузы включены в аудиозапись. Остановка и повторное воспроизведение аудиозаписи не предусмотрены. По окончании выполнения всего раздела «Аудирование» перенесите свои ответы в бланк ответов № 1.
Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A–F и утверждениями, данными в списке 1–7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Вы услышите запись дважды. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. У Вас есть 20 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.”
Сразу обращаем внимание – вам дается фора в 20 минут перед тем, как вы приступите непосредственно к прослушиванию записи. Но это время может быть увеличено за счет того, что вы не будете слушать диктора, зачитывающего вводные инструкции (диктор читает ту самую формулировку задания, которую мы привели выше). Сразу возьмите в руки ваш ким (т.е. контрольно-измерительный материал) и начинайте внимательно изучать утверждения.
Давайте потренируемся на примере демоверсии 2016 года. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 1” и, пока диктор будет зачитывать вводные инструкции, приступайте в изучению утверждений. В конце задания запишите результаты в виде буквенно-цифровое соотношения, например: A-1, B-2 и т.п.).

5. I’m going to spend my gap year teaching English abroad.
6. Teaching as a way to change your life.
7. Don’t hesitate to write to the employer if you need the job.

Вот транскрипт самих текстов.
Speaker A
If you want to get new cultural and social experiences, the easiest, the fastest and the safest way is to go to a foreign country to teach English. If you have a university degree, an international certificate in English, a couple thousand dollars and about 3 months, you can start your life in an exotic location. I’m going to do this and I know people who’ve done it and I know what I’m talking about. You never know what to expect in a foreign country, that’s true, but isn’t it challenging at the same time?
Speaker B
I was thinking about spending my gap year teaching English abroad but I had second thoughts about it. I was told that only experienced teachers can get a working visa, coverage for their cost-of-living and a decent job. After reading some interviews on what’s it like to teach English in immersion camps, I gave up on the idea completely. That’s not what I’m ready to put up with. My parents are happy about that.
Speaker C
English is my major but the rivalry is so tense in the trade market now that I’m thinking of going somewhere for a couple of years to gain more experience and improve my teaching skills. Taiwan seems a perfect choice as everything is included for an inexperienced teacher – visas, accommodation and high salary. I’m worried about getting a social life there – I speak only English and I wonder if I can find friends there apart from my future students.
Speaker D
My uncle, David Dune, is a teacher, writer and runner. He is an educator with over 17 years of experience of teaching English as second and as a foreign language. He has taught and presented in Korea, Canada, France, and Ukraine. He specializes in Web 2.0 and using technology in the classroom. That must be an exciting life and the only thing I can think about is following in his footsteps. I hope he’ll share some secrets of being a good English teacher abroad.
Speaker E
I don’t remember how that magazine caught my sight but recently I read an interview with Neil Mullen who is a veteran English teacher in Japan. He started as a regular teacher and now he owns a school there. He is looking for new language teachers and I’m planning to send my CV. His e-mail address was included in the interview, not his personal address, of course. I just hope the e-mail won’t go to his spam folder and he’ll choose me as his employee.
Speaker F
People in my college are crazy about the idea of going to teach English somewhere in Thailand, China and what not. I listened to their heated discussions very attentively and understood it’s high risk. There are so many things to care about like visas, security, medication and cultural barriers. I’d better stay in the US to serve my country. In my view it’s more patriotic; besides, I’m not sure I can solve the problems connected with moving to another country.
В чем сложность первого задания? Во-первых, тематика всех высказываний одинаковая – в данном случае преподавание английского языка. Одинаковая тематика мешает вам провести четкие содержательные линии между текстами. Во-вторых, в каком-нибудь утверждении и высказывании может быть употреблена одинаковая фраза, но это совершенно может не означать, что именно данное утверждение соответствует именно данному высказыванию. Например, обратите внимание на пятое утверждение, в котором использовано словосочетание gap year. Такое же словосочетание имеется у Speaker B, но это не значит, что утверждение 5 соответствует высказыванию Speaker B. Подобные “трюки” вводятся в задание специально, чтобы проверить качество навыка аудирования и узнать, на какую глубину экзаменуемый воспринимает звучащий текст.
Рекомендации к выполнению данного задания:
1. Не слушать вводные инструкции и тем самым экономить время. Сразу приступать к чтению утверждений, содержащихся в задании.
2. Быть готовым к тому, что тематика высказываний будет одинаковой либо очень схожей. Старайтесь ловить смысловые детали, т.к. часто именно они играют решающую роль.
3. Не цепляться за одинаковые слова в утверждениях и высказываниях. Это чаще всего обманка.
- Аудирование, задание 2.
В этом задании прозвучит диалог и будут предложены утверждения. Вы прослушаете диалог и оцените правильность утверждений.
Задание имеет следующую формулировку:
“Вы услышите диалог. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений А–G соответствуют содержанию текста (1 – True), какие не соответствуют (2 – False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3 – Not stated). Занесите номер выбранного Вами варианта ответа в таблицу. Вы услышите запись дважды. У Вас есть 20 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.”
Опять же вам дается фора в 20 секунд для ознакомлением с заданием, и снова мы рекомендуем увеличить это время путем игнорирования вводной инструкции.
Обратите внимание, что ответы вам надо записывать цифрами 1, 2 и 3, а не словами True, False и Not stated. Вы напишите цифру 1, если утверждение верное, 2 – неверное, 3 – об этом вообще не было речи.
Давайте попробуем выполните задание, которое предлагается в качестве образца в демоверсии 2016 г. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 2” и, пока диктор формулирует задание, сразу приступите к изучению утверждений. Запишите ответы (в задании вас попросят занести ваши варианты в бланки ответов, но сейчас вы можете просто записать буквенно-цифровое соотношение, например: A-1, B-2 и т.п.).

Вот сам текст диалога:
Peter: Hi, Lucy! You weren’t at school today. What is the matter? I was worried about you.
Lucy: Hi, Peter. It’s nothing serious, actually. I just felt a bit sick in the morning, so my mom let me stay at home.
Peter: You poor thing! And are you feeling better now?
Lucy: Yeah, much better, thank you. I guess it must have been the pizza that I ate yesterday. That was the reason for my bad stomachache. I had too much. But now, yeah, I feel all right. I think I won’t have to miss any more lessons this week.
Peter: But you haven’t been to the doctor’s office, have you? Won’t you have problems at school because you missed classes? When I was ill last month, I brought a medical certificate to school.
Lucy: Well, my mom called our class teacher, so I don’t think there will be any problems. Besides we don’t have many lessons on Wednesdays. How was Geography, by the way? Did you take a test?
Peter: Oh, no, we didn’t, but we revised the material for the test. The teacher asked several people to do exercises with the map of the UK at the blackboard, and then we had a sort of contest in groups where we had to find different mountains, rivers and lakes – the quicker the better, that was fun! And we also checked our homework and asked the teacher questions if we were not sure about the answers. You know, I feel well-prepared for tomorrow’s test now.
Lucy: Wait a second! Are we going to take the test tomorrow? I can’t believe it!
Peter: Yes, our teacher said that we are starting a new topic next week, so we have to finish this one tomorrow. Do you need any help with geography?
Lucy: Uh, if you can lend me your exercise-book with notes and checked homework, that would save me hours.
Peter: I am afraid I can’t give you my exercise-book right now because I have to revise the material for the test myself. But if you call me in two hours, we could probably study for the test together.
Lucy: Sounds like a great idea. And thanks so much for offering to help. It’s so nice to have a friend like you.
Peter: No problem. See you later then. Bye for now.
Lucy: Bye, Peter.
Будьте осторожны при работе с данным заданием – здесь много подводных камней. Так, например, возьмем утверждение D. Peter did exercises with the map of the UK (Питер выполнял упражнения с картой Соединенного Королевства). В тексте мы слышим The teacher asked several people to do exercises with the map of the UK at the blackboard (Учитель попросила нескольких учеников сделать упражнения с картой Соединенного Королевства у доски). Так что насчет Питера – делал он упражнения? Вроде бы напрашивается ответ “нет”, т.е. False, однако… вдумайтесь в смысл высказывания – почему бы Питеру не быть одним из тех самых учеников, которые выполняли упражнение? Мы не можем точно сказать, что делал именно Питер упражнения или нет – об этом в тексте речи нет, так что правильный ответ Not stated.
Рекомендации к выполнению данного задания:
1. Не слушать вводные инструкции и тем самым экономить время. Сразу приступать к чтению утверждений, содержащихся в задании.
2. Четко уяснить смысл понятий True (четкое да), False (четкое нет), Not stated (ни да, ни нет; на основе текста невозможно дать однозначный ответ).
- Аудирование, задание 3.
Третье задание на аудирование заключается в прослушивании еще одного диалога. В демоверсии 2016 года предложено интервью. Ваша задача – прослушать интервью и ответить на вопросы путем выбора правильного ответа.
Задание формулируется следующим образом:
“Вы услышите интервью. В заданиях 3–9 запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2 или 3, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа. Вы услышите запись дважды. У Вас есть 50 секунд чтобы ознакомиться с заданиями.”
Опять же добудьте себе дополнительное время, не обращая внимание на лишние слова диктора, формулирующего задание. Сразу возьмитесь за изучения вопросов и вариантов ответов.
Давайте попробуем выполнить демонстрационное задание. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 3” и, игнорируя вводные слова диктора, сразу приступайте к изучению вопросов и ответов. Обратите внимание, нумерация вопросов начинается с цифры 3. Считается, что первым вопросов было все первое задание на аудирование, вторым вопросом – все второе задание на аудирование.

Транскрипт интервью:
Presenter: Good afternoon, and here we are with our special program for teens where we explore advantages and disadvantages of all sorts of professions. Today we have Carl Fox, a travel agent. Hello, Carl!
Carl Fox: Good afternoon.
Presenter: So Carl, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Carl Fox: Well, as you already know, I’m a travel agent, and I work for one of the major chains on High Street. I’ve been with them for about 10 years and while I’ve been working I’ve studied for a number of qualifications.
Presenter: What inspired you to become a travel agent?
Carl Fox: People often ask me why I decided to become a travel agent. As a young adult I loved travelling and worked for a while as a rep in Spain. When I came back to the UK I decided to stay within the travel industry, and my experience of working in resorts abroad helped me to get a job as a travel agent. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great perk!
Presenter: I see. What are your responsibilities at your job?
Carl Fox: Basically, I’m a sales person. I advise people on the holiday options available to them, you know, different destinations, types of holiday, ways to get there, and so on. When customers have decided what they want, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they might need, such as car hire or tours. My responsibility doesn’t end there, though. I have to make sure that clients know if any visas are necessary, or if they will need vaccinations, and how to get them. If they are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.
Presenter: That’s a lot to do! And I bet it’s getting more and more difficult to work in your sphere because of the rivalry.
Carl Fox: Well, not because the rivalry is too high, it’s the same everywhere. The point is that more and more customers want a tailor-made holiday, not just a package from a brochure. However, I love the challenge! It’s a lot more interesting for me if I can organize the whole thing – make out an itinerary, book flights, ferries, trains, accommodation and everything. I love providing a personalized service, especially if it’s to places that I know. I can really help customers get a great holiday that will be ideal for them.
Presenter: People who are going on holiday must be relaxed and easy to deal with, right?
Carl Fox: Generally yes, but not always. Sometimes I get difficult customers. One man came in wanting a flight to Venice the next day. I checked out times and fares on the computer, and found a very reasonable flight at a suitable time, so we booked it there and then. A week later he came in and he was absolutely furious. He wanted to know why I had flown him to Venice, in Italy, when he had had an important meeting in Vienna, which is in Austria. I didn’t know what to say, but since then I’ve always been careful to check that people really know where they want to go.
Presenter: That’s a case which is funny and sad at the same time and it’s hard to believe it after all.
Carl Fox: Don’t I know!
Presenter: Any downsides to your job?
Carl Fox: There must be some but I love my job so I simply don’t notice them.
Presenter: I see. Thank you very much, Carl.
Carl Fox: My pleasure.

Today, with rising living expenses and the high cost of education, more and more students are choosing to study close to home and live with their families in order to save money. This is a practical choice, but are these students missing out on valuable life lessons by not leaving the safety of home?
In my view, living away from home is an important part of the university experience, perhaps just as important as actual studies. For instance, students who must adapt to an unfamiliar environment acquire useful social and domestic skills. In addition, the challenge of living alone can help young people to develop a more independent and responsible character by teaching them to rely on themselves.
On the other hand, it could be argued that students can gain these skills and qualities without leaving home. Furthermore, many families simply cannot afford the costs involved in supporting a child who studies away from home, and many students are unable to take on these expenses themselves.
All things considered, students who have the option of studying in another city or country, but who choose to remain with their families during their student years, are probably missing out on valuable character-forming experiences. Of course, not everyone has the resources to leave home at an early age. But if the opportunity presents itself, why pass up the chance to learn lessons from real life?

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A I have an old-fashioned belief in life-long self-improvement. I also have that need for tutorial guidance which is so typical of musicians. So, the idea of a holiday where you lock yourself up in the country with a group of like-minded people to learn a new skill, it really appealed to me. There were about a dozen of us. All ages and backgrounds seemed to represented, which was brilliant, and we sat learning our lines all day. Then after dinner, what we’d prepared would be performed and discussed. It was hilarious and afterwards we all kept in touch and swapped photos, so I’ve got lots of memories to look back on.
Speaker B It’s amazing how quickly people tune into a situation and organize themselves. Although we’d all opted for a self-catering package, the group soon set up a rota for providing the evening meal, which left us free most days to concentrate on task in hand. I’m not sure that what we learned couldn’t have been gleaned from one of those paperbacks entitled How to pen a best-seller, but we had a lot more fun doing it. The group psychology was fascinating to watch as it unfolded. As characters began to emerge, it became clear that the least prepossessing members of the group were going to turn out to be the most gifted.
Speaker C One unexpected aspect of the course was that we all became experts on the physical characteristics of lop-eared goats, so often did they feature in our representations of the various landscapes. There were also many outings, including a lovely meal in a local farmhouse. It was all very well organized. But it was the clear air and the sparkling perspectives that really encouraged me to try something new at home. Some people were rather shy, but that suited me, and everyone tended to get on with their own work. The tutor would give a demonstration in the morning, and then wander round from easel to easel, giving advice about brushwork, etc. She was scrupulously fair with her time.
Speaker D As a single person, I’d had one or two lonely holidays abroad on my own, so I loved the friendly meals with everyone eating together. Most evenings ended in a sing-song, it was lovely. You can do all sorts of other activities, like throwing pots or trying your hand at wildlife photography. But as I hadn’t so much as looked at a book since my schooldays, I was keen to get back some of my old fluency. The tutors are great, they realize you’re on holiday and so no-one’s going to rap your knuckles if you don’t turn up a class. Anyway, I could make just as much progress chatting to the locals , and they certainly had plenty of time for me.
Speaker E I was quite nervous at first, though there was no need to be. The group included a lot of people who, like, me, were just looking for inspiration. One couple had won the holiday in a competition, some had been before, but they didn’t seem to be much the wiser for it. My only criticism is that it could have been more hands-on. We spent a lot of time watching demonstrations when we could have been chopping or peeling ourselves. Because we had the afternoons free, we didn’t get on top of one another, and as our efforts literally provided a topic of conservation at mealtimes, it was all very relaxed, and it was difficult not to get on with each other.
Speaker F I was really excited by my holidays where we studied as a group of students. We came to Spain to study applied art history. It was unforgettable experience because we have visited very interesting and useful master-classes as well as we studied hard. I was glad to be kept fully occupied. During our free time we sunbathed on the beach and played volley-ball. I have raised my own self-esteem and became more confident. In the workshops I tried to do all my best to represent a brilliant project and achieve a great success in my education. The teachers were fantastic and well-qualified so I learnt as much as possible. I hope to come back there next summer and enjoy the amicable and warm atmosphere again.

Now we are ready to start.
Interviewer: Today in the studio, as part of our series of interviews with famous duos, we have two people who’ve worked together for more than fifteen years. Jack Crane is the boss and Jessica Brown is his personal assistant. Nothing unusual in that you might think, but what makes this duo a little different is the fact that the business which they both help run is in fact a travelling circus. Welcome to you both.
Jessica: Hello.
Jack: Hi.
Interviewer: Now, Jack first, you own the circus. So do you come from one of those traditional circus families, was it in the blood?
Jack: Hardly. I had an unremarkable childhood up to the age of fifteen. But I’d seen my first circus at the age of about eight, and from that moment on I’d set my heart on being part of that world one day, I didn’t exactly run away to join the circus, but it was very much against my parents’ wishes when I went. They really thought I should be getting some qualifications, I don’t think they saw much of a future in it.
Interviewer: But what qualified you then for the circus ring? Did you have an act?
Jack: No, it wasn’t like that really. The curious thing is that I’ve never longed to be a performer. I didn’t fancy leaping about on the back of a horse or juggling. No, right from the start, the thing that was uppermost in my mind was the idea of stepping out into that ring, wearing the big hat, and welcoming people to my circus. So at first, as far as I was concerned, it was just a matter of getting practical experience of how the circus worked. I was happy doing any job that was going actually.
Interviewer: And before long you did set up on your own, didn’t you? How did you manage that?
Jack: Well, I suppose I was about twenty-two and my dad, who’d come round to the idea in the meantime, helped me by lending me some capital, which I added to my own savings to invest in my first tent. From then on, I was the boss. I only had a few acts, but later I teamed up with a friend and the circus has been a partnership ever since. I’d been in business for about five years, when I realized I really needed more administrative support, and that’s where Jessica came in.
Interviewer: And what made you join the circus, Jessica?
Jessica: Well, unlike Jack, I never harboured any dreams of going off with the circus. In fact the idea had never crossed my mind. But when Jack’s tent arrived in my native town, I’d just been going through various family difficulties and I was ready for a change of scene. The idea just travelling around as the booking office clerk, which is the post that I saw advertised, appealed to me. I thought it would offer a means of escape for a while.
Jack: She stepped into the role of personal assistant about five years later. She was a qualified secretary so it was a natural progression.
Jessica: I can’t ever remember being asked to become your PA actually, it just sort of happened. But having been with the circus for a while, I’d picked up a lot about what was involved in the running of the show, and I gradually just took more on. You know, I just did what needed doing. And I’ve since been on both word-processing and accountancy courses to help me cope with it all.
Jack: Now, I don’t know what I’d do without her. I love the circus, but the paperwork would drive me crazy and its getting worse.
Jessica: You can say that again, and it also includes a fair amount of diplomacy, which, let’s say, isn’t really Jack’s style.
Jack: She also arranges things like work permits for foreign artists. That can be a real hassle. We have a lot of laughs sometimes though. My handwriting always comes in for a lot of stick, and Jessica’s the only one who can descipher it. And she is very willing to work long into the night if necessary. So as long as everything gets done, I don’t mind if she takes the odd afternoon off to do her own things. There’s no clockwatching or standing on ceremony here.
Jessica: I guess that’s where we really see eye to eye, in that laid back approach. Without that it wouldn’t work and I’d have moved on years ago.
Interviewer: Jessica, Jack, thanks very much for joining me this morning.
Jack: Thank you
Jessica: Thanks.

Holidays are an essential part of our culture. Yet not all people understand the importance of their celebration. They consider any celebration to be a waste of time, which, in fact, is not true.
In my opinion, we should celebrate holidays because they help to keep up our traditions and to preserve our culture. In addition, it is a good chance to bring the family together and to meet all your friends and relatives. What is more, there is a special atmosphere behind each holiday and it is a good opportunity to make people happy. As for me, I like the spirit of a holiday and always try to follow the traditions connected with it.
Nevertheless, not all people enjoy celebrations. They are not interested in ancient traditions and only regard holidays as additional time off work. They also believe that holidays are just an excuse for spending money or making it.
Actually, such attitude is wrong. I believe it is very important that traditions do survive in the country as they help to define who people are. Although people spend lots of money on presents, it is not only the present that counts, it is not only the present that counts, but also the fact that people greet each other and share the joy of the day.
To conclude, I want to say that holidays help to bring generations together. Personally, I enjoy celebrations. For me, a holiday is not just a day off but a special occasion and I usually prepare for it beforehand.

Bath»s ancient history A. Bath is a world famous city known for its thermal baths, which are a major tourist attraction. The city is situated in the southwest of England, near the country»s west coast and about 150 kilometres from London. Bath is in the area of England that is known as Somerset, a county bordered on the north by the Bristol Channel. B. The baths for which Bath is known were built around the year 60. It was the Romans who established the city as a spa. They did so about 20 years after they arrived in England. They constructed the baths, along with a temple, on a hillside near hot springs. Over the next 300 years, structures would be added to the baths, making them grander. C. Over the years, Bath slowly became an important city. Wealthy people began moving there in the 1500s. In 1767, construction began on the Royal Crescent, a group of buildings that form a semicircle and look out onto a park. The buildings were constructed in the Georgian style. Afterward, more buildings were built in the same style, giving Bath the character it has today. D. Bath is situated in the Avon Valley. The city is built on and surrounded by hills, which have a maximum height of 238 metres. The valley, which is about 18 metres above sea level, runs through the city centre. The River Avon runs through this area, and because it is a low-lying area, the city sometimes suffers from floods during rainy seasons. E. Presently, there are just over 80,000 people living in the city itself. The greater region of Bath, which includes nearby parts of Somerset, has a total population of around 160,000. The majority of people living in Bath are of English birth, with just under 3% of people being from places outside the UK. A resident of Bath is known as a Bathonian. F. As it is located in the southwest of England, Bath generally has winters that are warmer than other parts of the country. Its summers are usually cool and rainy, and the temperature doesn»t go much over 20 Celsius. Average rainfall is 700 millimetres, which is spread out evenly throughout the seasons. Its windiest period is in the winter, while summers tend to have light breezes. G. The city of Bath has five theatres, and performances are put on by both national and international companies. There are also important concerts that take place in Bath, as well as literature and film festivals. One such festival decides who in Bath is that year»s greatest poet, singer or storyteller. These various events attract thousands of people to the city. Ответ: Тексты A В С D Е F G Заголовки

-JdJJi «i Прочитайте текст.

In the autumn of 1900, a team of Greek sponge divers were returning from the coast of Africa. A dangerous storm started, which forced them to take shelter near the small Greek island of Antikythera. While the crew waited for the storm to pass, the captain of the boat sent one of his divers to search the seabed for sponges. The diver, Elias Stadiatis, discovered the remains of a 2,000-year-old shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, 60 metres below. When he returned to the surface, he was so excited about what he»d found that the captain thought he had been affected by too much carbon dioxide. But when the captain himself went down to take a look, he saw that his crewman really had found ancient treasures. He immediately told the Greek authorities, and the sponge divers, with the assistance of the Greek navy, began to recover the wonderful things. In the following months, using only very basic diving equipment, the divers managed to bring to the surface an amazing number of ancient artefacts, including bronze and marble statues, delicate glassware and gold jewellery. All of this had remained undisturbed for nearly two thousand years. The operation only stopped because conditions became too dangerous to continue. One of the items that was discovered was a piece of bronze. It was in such poor condition that no one was sure what it was. One archaeologist suggested that it was some kind of clockwork mechanism, but no one believed him and it was put away for storage in a museum. It was nearly fifty years before anyone else took any interest in the item. In 1951, a British scientist called Derek Price began to investigate the item. He discovered that it contained a complex gear mechanism and suggested that it was used to make calculations about the position of planets. It is regarded as the world»s first example of an analog computer. Today, it is world famous, and is known as «the Antikythera mechanism». Before the discovery of this mechanism, it was believed that no complex clockwork machines had been invented until the 14th century. Scientists continue to investigate just how it was used. The site of the shipwreck continues to fascinate modern archaeologists, who are keen to make further diving expeditions in the area. But diving in dangerous waters at depths of between sixty and seventy metres is expensive and difficult, so there have been only a few expeditions over the last hundred years or so. If it»s difficult now, just think how much harder it was for a team of Greek divers over a hundred years ago. А7 А8 A9 AlO All A12 A13 A14 The storm made the divers stop while on their way back to Africa. Elias Stadiatis was the best diver on the boat. Sailors helped the sponge divers collect the treasures. Some of the divers were injured while diving. One of the discoveries from the shipwreck was ignored for many years. The mechanism changed ideas about the history of clockwork machines. Scientists have stopped studying the Antikythera mechanism. No one has explored the shipwreck site for about a century.

Types of digital cameras 7. Professional uses today 8. An immediate advantage A. Cameras have come a long way since the time of our grandparents. The days of using film cameras are almost gone. Even the digital camera has come far since its beginning. Now there are digital cameras that fit in your pocket, and there are those for use among professional photographers. Even the movie industry has taken to using a kind of digital camera for shooting films. B. Digital cameras perform a wide range of functions. They can zoom in on an object, just like a film camera, but they can also zoom in digitally for an even closer shot. They can make the colours brighter or darker, and they can make the image sharper. They can even make the photo come out in black and white, for a more artistic look. C. One great feature of a digital camera is the ability to delete unwanted photos. As soon as you take a photo, you can view it on the camera screen and decide if you want to keep it. If not, you can erase it from the cameras memory and take another photo. Its better than having the photo developed from film, which takes time and money. D. A digital camera records an image in basically the same way as a film camera. The difference is that, with a film camera, a chemical process occurs to create the image. With a digital camera, the process is electronic. A sensor records the colours and details of an image, which then appear on the cameras screen. E. You can use a digital camera just as you would a film camera. An obvious difference is that with a digital camera, you don»t have to load film. You basically just point and shoot. As with any other camera, though, you have to use the flash in dark places, and you can adjust the lens to take photos from far away or up close. F. You can attach extra lenses to digital cameras to take special pictures, just as you can with a film camera. Unlike film cameras, though, a digital camera also has a cable that you can use to attach it to a computer, to save your images for ing and storing on your computer»s hard drive, or sending to a printer for easy printing. G. The first digital cameras were used in military and scientific settings. This was around the time of their invention in These early cameras weighed about 3 kilograms and took black and white photos. A few years later, digital cameras were used in medical facilities. It wasn»t until the early 1990s that digital cameras were made available to consumers. Ответ: Тексты A В С D Е F G Заголовки

Раздел 1 (задания по аудированию) Прочитайте тексты и установите соответствие между текстами A-G и заголовками 1-8. Запишите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании есть один лишний заголовок. 1. Health problems and the young 2. Dangerous lifestyles 3. Health problems and the aged 4. Preventing health problems 5. Getting help with health problems 6. Health and your diet 7. Exercise and health 8. Work and health B. Staying healthy is just as important as getting help when you do fall ill. Doctors recommend getting vaccinated against certain diseases at a young age, or perhaps when there is a flu epidemic and many people suffer from and spread the disease. «Prevention is better than cure», as the old saying goes. It is easier to get ill than it is to get better, so take care. Healthy food is essential for the body and the mind. You are what you eat, so if you eat junk food or drink a lot of sugary drinks, think what it is doing to your body. Another old saying is «an apple a day keeps the doctor away», pointing out the benefits of eating simple, healthy food. C. A good work-out can keep you fit and healthy, but too much can cause problems. There are two forms of exercise, resistant and aerobic, and both have their advantages, but doctors recommend combining both forms for maximum benefit. It can be difficult to find time to go to the gym, because of work or family obligations, but just a few minutes a week can work wonders. D. It is not so easy to combine healthy living with your everyday routine, and sometimes a person»s job can present problems. For example, if you work long hours, you can become over-tired and your body gets run down. Other jobs involve a lot of pressure, which can cause stress, leading to various illnesses. As always, moderation and care are the best defence against the threat of illness. E. Some groups of people are especially vulnerable to illness. Babies, for example, need a clean environment as their bodies cannot yet deal with certain germs or bacteria, and can catch all sorts of diseases very easily. They need a lot of sleep and a special diet, too, to ensure healthy growth. Each new family should get the best advice they can from an expert on how to raise a healthy child. F. Both the young and the elderly are high-risk groups. Age brings wisdom, but it can also bring health problems. As your body grows older, it naturally grows weaker, and special care must be taken at this stage in life. Perhaps some gentle exercise or a change in diet becomes necessary, on the advice of your medical consultant. G. If you do become ill, you must act quickly. You could make an appointment with your doctor, or if it is more serious, visit the local hospital. Your doctor might refer you to a specialist if the problem requires expert attention, or your hospital visit might turn into a longer stay if you need an operation. The important thing is — seek help! Ответ: Тексты A В С D Е F G Заголовки

J^jJici Прочитайте текст. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений А7-А14 соответствуют содержанию текста (1 — True), какие не соответствуют (2 — False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3- Not stated). A7 A8 A9 A10 All A12 A13 Many different countries have a national day, and 12th June is one of the newest. This is the day when the Russian people celebrate the beginning of modern Russian democracy. On that date in 1990, a document declaring Russian state sovereignty was signed by the country»s leaders, marking the start of the «new» state of Russia as a nation. 12th June was declared a public holiday in 1994, and three years later someone suggested changing the name of the day, from the original «Day of Signing the Declaration of State Sovereignty». This was finally done in 2002, and to this day 12th June is known as «Russia Day». Because it is a national holiday, most banks, schools and public offices are closed. Public transport still runs, but with reduced timetables in most places. The Russian flag is flown and the two-headed eagle, the symbol of the Russian Federation, is displayed everywhere. As you would expect, the state puts on a magnificent display, and around the country various official events take place to celebrate the day. In the capital, Moscow, there»s a big parade through the streets, and sporting events often take place outside the Kremlin. The President of Russia addresses the nation and takes the opportunity to present medals and awards to important and famous people in the arts and sciences. Perhaps because it is such a new national holiday, some people are a little confused how it should be celebrated. Musical events and firework displays are common across the country. Some people take advantage of the day to celebrate their cultural heritage by dressing in traditional clothes and demonstrating the traditional dances of the various regions. A more modern way of celebrating may include attending pop concerts or going for a picnic in the countryside. Environmentalists have sometimes used the day to draw attention to green issues while still expressing their national pride. Some Russian communities abroad also celebrate the day. For example, in 2012 a formal dinner in Chicago, USA was attended by various VIPs representing both America and Russia, and included a speech given by the Russian Ambassador to the US. Russian classical music was performed and the dinner featured traditional Russian dishes, while soldiers from both countries were honoured. This celebrated Russia Day and helped to bring Russians and Americans closer together. Despite this variety of focus, the true meaning of the day is clear. No matter how people celebrate on 12th June, they are celebrating the relationship of a country to its past, present, and future, and — above all — its people. No other country celebrates a National Day on 12th June. In 2002, «Russia Day» was on a Saturday. Buses and trains operate as usual in most places on 12th June. On 12th June, the Russian President gives a speech at midday. There are only a few firework displays on 12th June. Some people in other countries also celebrate Russia Day. The dinner in 2012 helped make some people become better friends. A14 People celebrated Russia Day more in the past than they do now.

Beaten by a competitor 8. A comfortable beginning A. Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist and inventor who developed the Periodic Law and a periodic table of chemical elements. This allowed him to predict the properties of elements that had not yet been discovered at the time. He is internationally recognised as one of the greats of the world of science and scientific research. B. Dmitri Mendeleev was born in 1834 in the village of Verkhnie Aremzyani near the Siberian city of Tobolsk. He was the youngest child in a very large family. Although the exact number is not known, he had between eleven and sixteen brothers and sisters. In his early years, the family was quite well-off, as Mendeleev»s father was a teacher of fine arts, philosophy and politics. C. The Mendeleev family fortunes changed when Dmitri s father became blind and had to give up teaching. His wife was now forced to work to support the family, and she re-opened an old glass factory which belonged to her family. But later, the factory was destroyed in a fire and, because of poverty, the family had to move to Saint Petersburg. D. Dmitri Mendeleev began his scientific career teaching chemistry, and by 1864 he had been made a professor at Saint Petersburg State University. He soon began to be noticed by chemists around the world, and it wasn»t long before he had turned Saint Petersburg into an international centre of excellence in the field of chemistry research. E. Mendeleev was not the first to work on a periodic table of elements. Another scientist, Lothar Meyer from Germany, published an almost identical table a few months after Mendeleev. However, only Mendeleev»s table contained predictions of undiscovered elements. Many scientists didn»t believe his predictions, but two of the missing elements were later discovered, establishing without doubt the accuracy of his table. F. Apart from his work in the field of chemistry research, Mendeleev was a founder member of the Russian Chemical Society. He also helped establish the first oil refinery in Russia and was, at one time, director of the Russian Bureau of Weights and Measures. Finally, Mendeleev is also credited with having introduced the metric system into Russia. G. Mendeleev died at the age of 72 in His life is commemorated with a museum in his honour at Saint Petersburg State University. A street in Saint Petersburg is named after him, as well as a crater on the far side of the moon. The Russian Academy of Sciences annually awards the Mendeleev Gold Medal for achievements in chemical science and technology. Ответ: Тексты A В С D Е F G Заголовки

The Maya are a group of people living in Central America and southern Mexico, whose history dates back an incredible 4,000 years. The height of their civilisation is sometimes known as the «Classic period». This lasted from about 300 to 900AD, and then suddenly ended. Archaeologists today still ask, «Why did this happen?» There are many possible explanations for the end of the Classic Maya civilisation, but no-one knows for sure exactly what happened. One possibility is that some groups of foreigners invaded and destroyed some of the most important Maya cities. However, most archaeologists and historians who have studied this subject think this explanation is unlikely. Another possibility involves the expansion of the civilisation during the 700s. Some buildings from that period remain unfinished. Why? The suggestion is that poor Maya citizens were forced to carry out the hard building work. Because they were badly treated, they fought back. This would explain why the buildings were never completed. However, scientific research has shown that the buildings weren»t actually very difficult to build. What»s more, other civilisations that experienced problems like these did not just disappear. A third possibility involves the collapse of trade. Some archaeologists believe that the Maya were, closely connected to the city of Teotihuacan by trade. This great city ruled central Mexico, and its collapse in 750AD changed trade routes. However, it has been discovered that the Maya»s connection with this city was strong around 500AD. This means that by the time Teotihuacan fell, the Maya were already independent of the city»s influence. One of the most likely explanations is a change in the weather, with not enough rain leading to an extremely bad drought. Scientists have been able to work out rainfall amounts at the time from soil samples. It appears that the area suffered from a «mega-drought» and the severe lack of water was enough to starve the Maya of food. Critics of this idea say that only the northern regions have been studied and the Maya civilisation was stronger in the south. Also, certain Maya cities in the north survived until 900AD or even later, but this is possibly because they were located closer to the sea and could survive on fish. Whatever its cause, the end of the Maya Classic period did not bring a complete end to its people. Today, there are still millions of them living in the area, speaking one or more of the 21 Mayan languages still in existence. A7 А8 А9 А10 All А12 A13 А14 The «Classic period» lasted for more than 4,000 years. Archaeologists often have meetings with historians to discuss the Maya civilisation. Not all of the buildings the Maya started building in the 700s were finished. Maya buildings were usually very expensive to build. Around 500AD, the city of Teotihuacan ruled over the Maya civilisation. Scientists have no idea how much rain fell during the Classic period. Some Maya cities continued after the end of the Classic period. Maya people today all speak the same language.

A.
Logically enough, the emblem of the Red Cross is a red cross on a white background. This image was first used in 1863, and it is basically a reversal of the Swiss flag, which is a white cross on a red background. Beginning in the 1870s, the Ottoman Empire started using the Red Crescent as the name and emblem for its branch of the Red Cross, reflecting its Islamic beliefs. Today, the Red Crescent is recognized by 33 Islamic nations.
B.
All monies used by the International Committee of the Red Cross are received as donations from governments, public institutions, and private individuals. The organization’s annual budget exceeds 1 billion Swiss Francs. The majority of funding comes from Switzerland and the United States, with significant contributions also coming from European countries and the EU. Private donations are often received at times of local, national and international emergencies, such as the tsunami disaster in southeastern Asia in 2004.
C.
Today the Red Cross has approximately 97 million volunteers, members and staff, working worldwide. The many organizations associated with the Red Cross are legally independent of each other, but they often work together to provide help to people in time of military conflict and natural disaster.
D.
The idea for the International Committee of the Red Cross came to Swiss businessman Henry Dunant in 1859. He was travelling in Italy on business, when he witnessed a terrible military battle in which thousands of men died and were wounded. When he realized that the wounded men were not receiving medical care, he organized the local residents to help men on both sides of the conflict. Three years later the Red Cross was officially founded.
E.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, which is based in Geneva, Switzerland, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize three times, in 1917, 1944 and 1963. The first two prizes were awarded for the organization’s work during the first and second world wars. The third prize was awarded on the occasion of the Red Cross’s 100th anniversary.
F.
Many people around the world know the Red Cross primarily because of the help it gives people locally. For example, the Red Cross sponsors local blood drives, where people donate their blood. This blood can then be used to save the lives of people with medical emergencies. Local Red Cross offices also collect food and clothing and household goods to give to people who are forced to leave their homes after natural disasters.
G.
During both World War I and World War II, the International Red Cross worked tirelessly to monitor prisoner-of-war camps, to help civilians caught in the conflicts, and to maintain lists of refugees and missing persons. Tragically, the Red Cross failed to reach an agreement with Nazi Germany regarding its concentration camps and therefore was unable to help the millions of people who died during the war.

Do you know what time it is right now? How do you know? Did you take a look at a wall clock? Glance at your wrist watch? Sneak a peek at your mobile phone? Today we take time-keeping for granted, but of course the very concept of time-keeping is a human invention, with its origins dating back thousands of years.
The first mechanism was probably the sun-dial. This method, which used the moving shadow of the sun to tell time, was widely used in ancient times. A well-constructed sundial is quite accurate, but of course it only works during the day, and only on sunny days. Hourglasses were an invention that made it possible to mark the passage of time at night, in-doors, and in the dark.
All the great ancient civilizations — Greek and Roman, Chinese, Byzantine, Islam — developed water clocks, which were very accurate. These devices were commonly used until the invention of the pendulum clock in the 17th century.
The earliest mechanical clocks didn’t have a visual indicator; they simply announced the time with striking bells. Later the 12-hour circular dial or clock face became standard. A 10-hour dial was briefly popular during the French Revolution when the metric system was applied to time keeping. And the 24 hour dial is commonly used by military organizations and transportation systems.
Today digital displays are used everywhere — on wrist watches, wall clocks, computer screens, etc. This numerical representation of time can be based on the 12-hour system (1:00 am, 1:00 pm) or the 24-hour system (01:00 or 13:00).
Like reading, telling time is something all young children have to be taught. Experts suggest that you begin this when a child is about five years old. Even though digital clocks are everywhere, it’s important to begin with traditional dial clocks, with second hands, to help the child literally see the passage of time. Giving a child his or her own wrist watch — just a cheap child’s version — can be very helpful. Teaching a child to tell time can be quite challenging, but it’s a life skill that every one of us needs.
10
New ways of time keeping are being developed today.
12
Hourglasses were developed at the same time as sun-dial.
13
Water clocks preceded pendulum clock.
14
The first mechanical clocks had no face, no numbers, no hands.
16
Digital displays are more popular today than traditional circular hour dial.
17
It’s better to use clocks with hand while teaching young children to tell time.

Electronic assistant: Hello! This is the electronic assistant of the club Money Matters. Our purpose is to improve financial competence of teenagers and young adults. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. Please answer six questions. The survey is anonymous, so you don’t need to give your name. Let’s start.
Electronic assistant: How do you get your pocket money?
Student: (pause 40 seconds) I get my pocket money 2 times a week. And during the month I do my best to save up and not to live on shoestring at the end of the month.
Electronic assistant: What do you usually buy with your pocket money?
Student: (pause 40 seconds) First of all, I can»t do without coffee so everyday afterclasses I pop in corner coffeshop to drink several cups of coffee. Secondly, I am a shopoholic. That is why I spend almost all my pocket money on clothes in chase of obtaining pieces from the latest collection.
Electronic assistant: Where do you prefer to do the shopping, at the shopping mall or on the Internet? Why?
Student: (pause 40 seconds)Nowadays it’s becoming more and more popular to shop online. I’m firmly convinced that it’s the most comfortable way. You just surf the Internet and look through the enormous range of goods. Moreover, you can compare prices and find a real bargain. Also, you can have your purchases delivered. It’s amazingly easy and saves a lot of time and energy. Thus, if you’re not a fan of shopping like me, do it online.
Electronic assistant: Would you like to have a part-time job to earn more pocket money? Explain why.
Student: (pause 40 seconds) To tell you the truth I would like to find a job. But the thing is that I am too busy to have it. My workload is huge and overhelming mainly because I have classes until 4 pm then I do sports and after all I have to cook somethinf for the dinner for my family. All in all, I am exhausted at the end of the day even without having a job.
Electronic assistant: What would you advise a teenager who wants to buy an expensive thing but doesn’t have enough money for that?
Student: (pause 40 seconds) First of all, you should speak to your parents and try to convince them to lend you more money. If it doesn»t work, try to save up during several months.
Electronic assistant: Would you like to be rich in the future? Why?
Student: (pause 40 seconds) It might sound suprising, but I don»t want to be rich. As far as I am concerned, all rich people are evel, cruel and pushy. What»s more, I am sure the real happiness has nothing to do with richness. And relly precious things you can never ever buy for money.
Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your time.
You are going to give a talk about exams. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
Whether exams are a good way of testing students knowledge, why/why not
What exam seems the most difficult for you, why
What advice you can give students who are getting ready for exams
You have to talk continuously.
Показать ответ
To my mind, exams are the worst way of assessment. I consider so mainly because there are so many factors that can affect your mood or health on the day of the exam. Thus, the mark that you get does not always show your real knowledge. That is why I am sure that continuous assessment I mean oral presentations, the projects, public talks that you have had is a better and more precise demonstration of knowledge. Well, it is also worth mentioning that the most difficult exam for me is English owning to the fact that I am lack a real communication with native speakers. What’s more, it is almost impossible to find a highly qualified tutor. However, there’re some tips I can share with those who are preparing for sitting the exam. First of all, relax. Make a cup of tea and buy a bar of chocolate with nuts for stimulation of brains. Secondly, it is helpful to turn on your favourite music. Finaly, you should fell in love with what you are studying and then with no doubts you will pass the exam with flying colours.

6. Moderation Is the Key!
7. Diet and Exercise
8. Benefits of Good Nutrition
A. Developing healthy eating habits is simpler and easier than you might think. You will look and feel better if you make a habit of eating healthfully. You will have more energy and your immune system will be stronger. When you eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables you are lowering your risk of heart disease, cancers and many other serious health ailments. Healthy eating habits are your ticket to a healthier body and mind.
B. A four-week clinical trial that tested the new regimen found that overweight adults who consumed a high-protein, entirely vegan diet were able to lose about the same amount of weight as a comparison group of dieters on a high-carbohydrate, low-fat vegetarian dairy diet. But while those on the high-carbohydrate dairy diet experienced drops of 12 percent in their cholesterol, those on the high-protein vegan diet saw cholesterol reductions of 20 percent.
C. ‘The idea preyed on me for a long time. If the Atkins Diet looks good, and it’s got so much saturated fat and cholesterol in it, suppose we took that out and put vegetarian protein sources in, which may lower cholesterol,’ Dr. Jenkins said. ‘We know that nuts lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease, and soy is eaten in the Far East, where they don’t get much heart disease. So we put these foods together as protein and fat sources.’
D. The first official warning about the dangers of the Atkins diet was issued by the government amid concern about the rising number of people opting for the high-fat, high-protein diet. Cutting out starchy foods can be bad for your health because you could be missing out on a range of nutrients. Low-carbohydrate diets tend to be high in fat, and this could increase your chances of developing coronary heart disease.
E. Earlier this year, a large study that compared different kinds of diets — including low-fat and low-carbohydrate plans — found that the method didn’t matter as long as people cut calories. That study also found that after two years, most people had regained at least some of the weight they had lost. Dr. Tuttle said that while different weight loss plans offer people different ‘tricks’ and strategies, ultimately, ‘It really comes down to calories in and calories out.’
F. When you think about nutrition, be aware of serving sizes. Many people will eat everything on their plate, regardless of how hungry they actually are. If you know you tend to clean your plate, make an effort to reduce your serving size. If you’re eating out or dining at a friend’s house, don’t be shy about asking for smaller portion sizes. Too much of any one food is a bad thing. There are no bad foods, just bad eating habits.
G. Your body has to stay well hydrated to perform at its best and to properly process all the nutrients in the food you eat. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising. If you are trying to lose weight, add plenty of ice to each glass of water. Your body will burn energy to warm the water up to body temperature.

Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain. The Stonehenge that we see today is the final stage A ____________. But first let us look back 5,000 years.
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a ditch, bank, and the Aubrey holes, all probably built around 3100 BC. The Aubrey holes are round pits in the chalk, about one metre wide and deep, B ____________. Excavations have revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were probably made not for the purpose of graves but as part of the religious ceremony. Shortly after this stage Stonehenge was abandoned, left untouched for over 1000 years.
The second and most dramatic stage of Stonehenge started around 2150 BC. Some 82 bluestones from south-west Wales were transported to the site. It is thought that these stones, some weighing 4 tonnes each, were dragged on rollers and sledges to the headwaters and then loaded onto rafts. This astonishing journey covered nearly 240 miles. Once at the site, these stones were set up in the centre C ____________.
The third stage of Stonehenge, about 2000 BC, saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones. The largest of the Sarsen stones weigh 50 tonnes and transportation by water would have been impossible D ____________. These stones were arranged in an outer circle with a continuous run of lintels. Inside the circle, five trilithons were placed in a horseshoe arrangement, E ____________.
The final stage took place soon after 1500 BC F ____________. The original number of stones in the bluestone circle was probably around sixty. They have long since been removed or broken up. Some remain only as stumps below ground level.
- when the bluestones were rearranged in the horseshoe and circle that we see today
- to form an incomplete double circle
- which form a circle about 284 feet in diameter
- which were almost certainly brought from the Marlborough Downs
- so the stones could only have been moved using sledges and ropes
- whose remains we can still see today
- that was completed about 3,500 years ago

My room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till. I get up and make breakfast, watch TV, have a shower. If it’s before six in the morning, I usually have a cup of tea and go back to bed where I’ll doze until seven. If I stay at my sister’s, I sleep until the kids wake me or until she comes rolling in, poured from the back of some taxi, whichever is earlier. I’m an early riser, and a dead sleeper.
This morning I wake up with a twitch, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric jolt. It isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey, the same colour as the sea and it looks like the sun won’t appear before tomorrow. Today is Dad’s birthday. Every year on my Dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him and each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. There, I said it. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.
I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I go through phases when I like a certain artist or a movement. And I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back, I’ll be able to say ‘this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet’ or ‘this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.’ And he’ll look at each painting and know that I loved him and never forgot him.
At the moment I’m into lines, simple lines. It’s a development of a six month obsession I had with calligraphy, which came out of a phase I had with cartoons, which came from Liechtenstein and Warhol, and so on all the way back. So I get out my charcoals, and a couple of sticks of chalk and I pin a heavy sheet of grey A3 paper onto a board and rest it on my knee as I sit on the bed.
On Saturday mornings when my Mum worked, he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel, a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. ‘Draw me,’ he’d say. ‘Oh, Dad, I can’t.’ Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.
I should go to school, I really should. I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. I don’t get bullied and I’m not thick. I just can’t find a good reason to waste my day in a classroom studying physics or citizenship or Buddhism. I could learn them in the library. Phil, the head of year eleven, will bollock me for it tomorrow, if I go in. I’ll tell Phil the truth, it was my Dad’s birthday and I spent it with him.
So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year. I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my head, maybe a little muted, like it is when he’s happy but distracted, or trying to understand me when I’m babbling to him.
It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how his eyes sparkle and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black. I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell. Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth. And there he is. Dad.

So far we’ve looked at various aspects of staff selection and I think by now you should all be beginning to see how much more there is to it than just putting the applicants through a short interview or asking the ‘right’ questions. So I think you should be ready for today’s talk on ‘matching the person to the job’.
Dr Strait:
We’re going to talk today about the importance of choosing that all- round ‘right’ person.
Ответ: 2
— Staff selection
2) Dr Strait plans to discuss …
- the value of team work.
- basic managerial skills.
- how an applicant would fit in a team.
Dr Strait:
Yes. And then we are going to imagine how different applicants would fit into the team or group they have to work with. So, we’ll look at some examples later
Dr Strait:
Yes. The point is you can select someone – even a friend – who has all the right qualifications… degrees… certificates, whatever. You can also check that they have a lot of experience… that they’ve done the sort of tasks that you want them to do in your office already, in a similar environment.
Ответ: 3
— how an applicant would fit in a team.
3) Dr Strait underlines the importance of an applicant’s…
- qualifications.
- experience.
- group work skills.
Dr Strait:
Yes. The point is you can select someone – even a friend – who has all the right qualifications… degrees… certificates, whatever. You can also check that they have a lot of experience… that they’ve done the sort of tasks that you want them to do in your office already, in a similar environment. But if they start work and you realize that they just don’t get along with everybody else, that… say they’ve got sharply contrasting views on how something will work… well, with the best intentions you may be backing a loser.

Ответ: 3
— group work skills.
4) According to Dr Strait, an important part of teamwork is having trust in your…
- colleague’s ability.
- employer»s directions.
- company training.
Presenter:
Wouldn’t it be just a question of company training though?
Dr Strait:
Not always. Particularly in a team situation and I think it’s important to think in terms of that type of working environment. People have to have faith in each other’s ability to carry out the task their boss has set them. They have to trust that everyone will do their part of the job, and you can’t necessarily train people for this.
Ответ: 1
— colleague’s ability
5) The presenter doubts the effectiveness of…
- company training.
- job interviews.
- question techniques.
Presenter:
But it’s like trying to find out what someone’s personality is like in a job interview… I mean you can’t just do that. Even if you try, you won’t find out what they are really like until they actually start work.

The presenter doubts the effectiveness of / Журналист сомневается в эффективности собеседований (2. job interviews). Им произносится следующая фраза: …it’s like trying to find out what someone’s personality is like in a job interview… I mean you can’t just do that |

1. company training 3. question techniques |
А следующие фразы: «you can’t necessarily train people for this», « in most interviews you usually ask candidates questions about their hobbies and what they like doing in their spare time… that sort of thing…», которые можно посчитать за синонимичные выражения данных вопросов, звучат в аудиозаписи совсем в других контекстах и ВНИМАНИЕ! принадлежат не журналисту, а доктору Стрейт. 1) Dr Strait: They have to trust that everyone will do their part of the job, and you can’t necessarily train people for this. 2) Dr Strait: Well, in most interviews you usually ask candidates questions about their hobbies and what they like doing in their spare time… that sort of thing… so employers are already involved in the practice of… well, doing part of the task. |
Ответ: 2
— job interviews.
6) Dr Strait claims that finding out personal information is…
- a skill that requires practice.
- avoided by most interviewers.
- already a part of job interviews.
Dr Strait:
Well, in most interviews you usually ask candidates questions about their hobbies and what they like doing in their spare time… that sort of thing… so employers are already involved in the practice of… well, doing part of the task.
Presenter
:
But it doesn’t tell you anything. It doesn’t tell you if they are easygoing or hate smokers or whatever
Dr Strait:
Well, arguably it does give you information about an applicant’s character,
Ответ: 3
— already a part of job interviews.
7) According to Dr Strait, Personality Questionnaires…
- have a very long history.
- were first used by the military.
- were invented by large employers.
Dr Straight:
A Personality Questionnaire. They have to be filled out by the candidates sometime during the selection procedure, often just before an interview. The idea is actually quite old. Apparently they were used by the ancient Chinese for picking out clerks and civil servants, and then later they were used by the military to put people in appropriate areas of work. They’ve gained a lot of ground since then and there are about 80,000 different tests available now and almost two thirds of the large employers use them.
Ответ: 1
— have a very long history.
По окончании выполнения зданий необходимо перенести ответы в бланк ответов.
Аудирование является самым первым аспектом письменного этапа единого государственного экзамена по английскому языку. Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно заработать за этот аспект – 20. Здесь мы разберемся в типах заданий на аудирование и в том, как успешно их решить.
Аудирование по английскому языку включает три задания. В первом задании вы услышите шесть кратких высказываний и получите семь утверждений (тезисов). Ваша задача состоит в том, что вы должны подобрать к каждому высказыванию подходящее утверждение (тезис). Одно утверждение (тезис) лишний. Во втором задании вы услышите диалог и опять же получите семь утверждений. На это раз вы должны определить степень достоверности каждого утверждения, т.е. сказать, верное ли оно (True), ложное (False) либо об это вообще не было речи (Not stated). В третьем задании вы также услышите диалог (интервью) и получите девять вопросов, у каждого из которых будет по три варианта ответа. Вам надо выбрать правильный ответ. Далее мы рассмотрим подробно каждое задание на аудирование и попробуем свои силы в их выполнении.
- Аудирование, задание 1.
Само задание формулируется следующим образом:
“Сейчас Вы будете выполнять задания по аудированию. Каждый текст прозвучит 2 раза. После первого и второго прослушивания у Вас будет время для выполнения и проверки заданий. Все паузы включены в аудиозапись. Остановка и повторное воспроизведение аудиозаписи не предусмотрены. По окончании выполнения всего раздела «Аудирование» перенесите свои ответы в бланк ответов № 1.
Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A–F и утверждениями, данными в списке 1–7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Вы услышите запись дважды. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. У Вас есть 20 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.”
Сразу обращаем внимание – вам дается фора в 20 минут перед тем, как вы приступите непосредственно к прослушиванию записи. Но это время может быть увеличено за счет того, что вы не будете слушать диктора, зачитывающего вводные инструкции (диктор читает ту самую формулировку задания, которую мы привели выше). Сразу возьмите в руки ваш ким (т.е. контрольно-измерительный материал) и начинайте внимательно изучать утверждения.
Давайте потренируемся на примере демоверсии 2016 года. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 1” и, пока диктор будет зачитывать вводные инструкции, приступайте в изучению утверждений. В конце задания запишите результаты в виде буквенно-цифровое соотношения, например: A-1, B-2 и т.п.).

2. My relative is a role model for me in terms of working abroad.
3. Some countries offer good career opportunities for beginning teachers.
4. Relatives are happy when you decide not to teach abroad.
5. I’m going to spend my gap year teaching English abroad.
6. Teaching as a way to change your life.
7. Don’t hesitate to write to the employer if you need the job.

Правильные ответы: A-6, B-4, C-3, D-2, E-7, F-1
Вот транскрипт самих текстов.
Speaker A
If you want to get new cultural and social experiences, the easiest, the fastest and the safest way is to go to a foreign country to teach English. If you have a university degree, an international certificate in English, a couple thousand dollars and about 3 months, you can start your life in an exotic location. I’m going to do this and I know people who’ve done it and I know what I’m talking about. You never know what to expect in a foreign country, that’s true, but isn’t it challenging at the same time?
Speaker B
I was thinking about spending my gap year teaching English abroad but I had second thoughts about it. I was told that only experienced teachers can get a working visa, coverage for their cost-of-living and a decent job. After reading some interviews on what’s it like to teach English in immersion camps, I gave up on the idea completely. That’s not what I’m ready to put up with. My parents are happy about that.
Speaker C
English is my major but the rivalry is so tense in the trade market now that I’m thinking of going somewhere for a couple of years to gain more experience and improve my teaching skills. Taiwan seems a perfect choice as everything is included for an inexperienced teacher – visas, accommodation and high salary. I’m worried about getting a social life there – I speak only English and I wonder if I can find friends there apart from my future students.
Speaker D
My uncle, David Dune, is a teacher, writer and runner. He is an educator with over 17 years of experience of teaching English as second and as a foreign language. He has taught and presented in Korea, Canada, France, and Ukraine. He specializes in Web 2.0 and using technology in the classroom. That must be an exciting life and the only thing I can think about is following in his footsteps. I hope he’ll share some secrets of being a good English teacher abroad.
Speaker E
I don’t remember how that magazine caught my sight but recently I read an interview with Neil Mullen who is a veteran English teacher in Japan. He started as a regular teacher and now he owns a school there. He is looking for new language teachers and I’m planning to send my CV. His e-mail address was included in the interview, not his personal address, of course. I just hope the e-mail won’t go to his spam folder and he’ll choose me as his employee.
Speaker F
People in my college are crazy about the idea of going to teach English somewhere in Thailand, China and what not. I listened to their heated discussions very attentively and understood it’s high risk. There are so many things to care about like visas, security, medication and cultural barriers. I’d better stay in the US to serve my country. In my view it’s more patriotic; besides, I’m not sure I can solve the problems connected with moving to another country.
В чем сложность первого задания? Во-первых, тематика всех высказываний одинаковая – в данном случае преподавание английского языка. Одинаковая тематика мешает вам провести четкие содержательные линии между текстами. Во-вторых, в каком-нибудь утверждении и высказывании может быть употреблена одинаковая фраза, но это совершенно может не означать, что именно данное утверждение соответствует именно данному высказыванию. Например, обратите внимание на пятое утверждение, в котором использовано словосочетание gap year. Такое же словосочетание имеется у Speaker B, но это не значит, что утверждение 5 соответствует высказыванию Speaker B. Подобные “трюки” вводятся в задание специально, чтобы проверить качество навыка аудирования и узнать, на какую глубину экзаменуемый воспринимает звучащий текст.
2. Быть готовым к тому, что тематика высказываний будет одинаковой либо очень схожей. Старайтесь ловить смысловые детали, т.к. часто именно они играют решающую роль.
3. Не цепляться за одинаковые слова в утверждениях и высказываниях. Это чаще всего обманка.
- Аудирование, задание 2.
В этом задании прозвучит диалог и будут предложены утверждения. Вы прослушаете диалог и оцените правильность утверждений.
Задание имеет следующую формулировку:
“Вы услышите диалог. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений А–G соответствуют содержанию текста (1 – True), какие не соответствуют (2 – False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3 – Not stated). Занесите номер выбранного Вами варианта ответа в таблицу. Вы услышите запись дважды. У Вас есть 20 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.”
Опять же вам дается фора в 20 секунд для ознакомлением с заданием, и снова мы рекомендуем увеличить это время путем игнорирования вводной инструкции.
Обратите внимание, что ответы вам надо записывать цифрами 1, 2 и 3, а не словами True, False и Not stated. Вы напишите цифру 1, если утверждение верное, 2 – неверное, 3 – об этом вообще не было речи.
Давайте попробуем выполните задание, которое предлагается в качестве образца в демоверсии 2016 г. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 2” и, пока диктор формулирует задание, сразу приступите к изучению утверждений. Запишите ответы (в задании вас попросят занести ваши варианты в бланки ответов, но сейчас вы можете просто записать буквенно-цифровое соотношение, например: A-1, B-2 и т.п.).

Вот сам текст диалога:
Peter: Hi, Lucy! You weren’t at school today. What is the matter? I was worried about you.
Lucy: Hi, Peter. It’s nothing serious, actually. I just felt a bit sick in the morning, so my mom let me stay at home.
Peter: You poor thing! And are you feeling better now?
Lucy: Yeah, much better, thank you. I guess it must have been the pizza that I ate yesterday. That was the reason for my bad stomachache. I had too much. But now, yeah, I feel all right. I think I won’t have to miss any more lessons this week.
Peter: But you haven’t been to the doctor’s office, have you? Won’t you have problems at school because you missed classes? When I was ill last month, I brought a medical certificate to school.
Lucy: Well, my mom called our class teacher, so I don’t think there will be any problems. Besides we don’t have many lessons on Wednesdays. How was Geography, by the way? Did you take a test?
Peter: Oh, no, we didn’t, but we revised the material for the test. The teacher asked several people to do exercises with the map of the UK at the blackboard, and then we had a sort of contest in groups where we had to find different mountains, rivers and lakes – the quicker the better, that was fun! And we also checked our homework and asked the teacher questions if we were not sure about the answers. You know, I feel well-prepared for tomorrow’s test now.
Lucy: Wait a second! Are we going to take the test tomorrow? I can’t believe it!
Peter: Yes, our teacher said that we are starting a new topic next week, so we have to finish this one tomorrow. Do you need any help with geography?
Lucy: Uh, if you can lend me your exercise-book with notes and checked homework, that would save me hours.
Peter: I am afraid I can’t give you my exercise-book right now because I have to revise the material for the test myself. But if you call me in two hours, we could probably study for the test together.
Lucy: Sounds like a great idea. And thanks so much for offering to help. It’s so nice to have a friend like you.
Peter: No problem. See you later then. Bye for now.
Lucy: Bye, Peter.
Будьте осторожны при работе с данным заданием – здесь много подводных камней. Так, например, возьмем утверждение D. Peter did exercises with the map of the UK (Питер выполнял упражнения с картой Соединенного Королевства). В тексте мы слышим The teacher asked several people to do exercises with the map of the UK at the blackboard (Учитель попросила нескольких учеников сделать упражнения с картой Соединенного Королевства у доски). Так что насчет Питера – делал он упражнения? Вроде бы напрашивается ответ “нет”, т.е. False, однако… вдумайтесь в смысл высказывания – почему бы Питеру не быть одним из тех самых учеников, которые выполняли упражнение? Мы не можем точно сказать, что делал именно Питер упражнения или нет – об этом в тексте речи нет, так что правильный ответ Not stated.
1. Не слушать вводные инструкции и тем самым экономить время. Сразу приступать к чтению утверждений, содержащихся в задании.
2. Четко уяснить смысл понятий True (четкое да), False (четкое нет), Not stated (ни да, ни нет; на основе текста невозможно дать однозначный ответ).
- Аудирование, задание 3.
Третье задание на аудирование заключается в прослушивании еще одного диалога. В демоверсии 2016 года предложено интервью. Ваша задача – прослушать интервью и ответить на вопросы путем выбора правильного ответа.
Задание формулируется следующим образом:
“Вы услышите интервью. В заданиях 3–9 запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2 или 3, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа. Вы услышите запись дважды. У Вас есть 50 секунд чтобы ознакомиться с заданиями.”
Опять же добудьте себе дополнительное время, не обращая внимание на лишние слова диктора, формулирующего задание. Сразу возьмитесь за изучения вопросов и вариантов ответов.
Давайте попробуем выполнить демонстрационное задание. Нажмите на кнопку “прослушать задание 3” и, игнорируя вводные слова диктора, сразу приступайте к изучению вопросов и ответов.

Транскрипт интервью:
Presenter: Good afternoon, and here we are with our special program for teens where we explore advantages and disadvantages of all sorts of professions. Today we have Carl Fox, a travel agent. Hello, Carl!
Carl Fox: Good afternoon.
Presenter: So Carl, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Carl Fox: Well, as you already know, I’m a travel agent, and I work for one of the major chains on High Street. I’ve been with them for about 10 years and while I’ve been working I’ve studied for a number of qualifications.
Presenter: What inspired you to become a travel agent?
Carl Fox: People often ask me why I decided to become a travel agent. As a young adult I loved travelling and worked for a while as a rep in Spain. When I came back to the UK I decided to stay within the travel industry, and my experience of working in resorts abroad helped me to get a job as a travel agent. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays. It’s a great perk!
Presenter: I see. What are your responsibilities at your job?
Carl Fox: Basically, I’m a sales person. I advise people on the holiday options available to them, you know, different destinations, types of holiday, ways to get there, and so on. When customers have decided what they want, I book it for them and make any other arrangements they might need, such as car hire or tours. My responsibility doesn’t end there, though. I have to make sure that clients know if any visas are necessary, or if they will need vaccinations, and how to get them. If they are flying, I need to tell them what time they have to check in, and make sure they know what time they will be arriving. I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.
Presenter: That’s a lot to do! And I bet it’s getting more and more difficult to work in your sphere because of the rivalry.
Carl Fox: Well, not because the rivalry is too high, it’s the same everywhere. The point is that more and more customers want a tailor-made holiday, not just a package from a brochure. However, I love the challenge! It’s a lot more interesting for me if I can organize the whole thing – make out an itinerary, book flights, ferries, trains, accommodation and everything. I love providing a personalized service, especially if it’s to places that I know. I can really help customers get a great holiday that will be ideal for them.
Presenter: People who are going on holiday must be relaxed and easy to deal with, right?
Carl Fox: Generally yes, but not always. Sometimes I get difficult customers. One man came in wanting a flight to Venice the next day. I checked out times and fares on the computer, and found a very reasonable flight at a suitable time, so we booked it there and then. A week later he came in and he was absolutely furious. He wanted to know why I had flown him to Venice, in Italy, when he had had an important meeting in Vienna, which is in Austria. I didn’t know what to say, but since then I’ve always been careful to check that people really know where they want to go.
Presenter: That’s a case which is funny and sad at the same time and it’s hard to believe it after all.
Carl Fox: Don’t I know!
Presenter: Any downsides to your job?
Carl Fox: There must be some but I love my job so I simply don’t notice them.

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A
I am not much of a cinema goer but I do enjoy a good film. I usually buy a film online and watch it at home. I’ve got a wide screen TV and a projector
. Sometimes, if I am in the mood, I use it. You feel as if you were in the cinema
but I find it a bit cozier on my sofa. It’s also a lot cheaper to watch films at home. If I invite some friends, they bring popcorn and drinks and then you really can»t tell the difference.
Speaker B
The cinema is my life. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to become an actress. I would watch all the new musicals and children’s films and dream of playing the leading parts. When I was in my last year at school, I took acting classes to prepare for the New York Theater and Cinema Academy. After graduating, I auditioned at the Academy and got in! It was the happiest moment of my life,
even more so than getting an Oscar two weeks ago!
Speaker C
Books are much more fun than films. I know most film directors want to make a film out of some classical book but so often the film versions don’t turn out well. At least to my taste. When you watch a film you are forced to believe what you see and when you read a book, you can imagine the characters and have your own personal experience with the plot
. Watching a film just doesn’t trigger your imagination the way reading does.
Speaker D
I can’t remember the last time I was at the movies. I think it was the day I broke my arm.
Crazy as it may be, I broke my arm going to see a new film. My girlfriend had asked me to go to the cinema with her, so I bought the tickets for Friday night. We were meeting inside the Star Cinema. It’d been raining hard and the pavement was very wet. I was five minutes late for my date, so I hurried up the stairs and slipped. The last thing I remembered was the terrible pain in my arm.
Speaker E
I never miss a new film
. I have a notification sent from the local cinema to inform me about any change in their shows. They change the schedule once every two weeks, so I go to the cinema every other week. Our local cinema is rather small, so they show two or three films at a time. Sometimes I watch a film every day for three days in a row to see all that’s new in the market
. It does get expensive sometimes, but it’s worth it, the way I see it.
Speaker F
The theatre has more of an appeal to me than the cinema.
I would go to see a play more often if they had more theatres around where I live. Local theatre companies have only two shows a year and that doesn’t satisfy my appetite, so I travel to London to see different shows may be once a month or so. Seeing real three-dimensional people on stage is a lot more interesting than watching them on the screen. I love watching actors’ facial expressions and the interaction between them.
You have 15 seconds to complete the task. (Pause 15 seconds.)
Now you will hear the texts again. (Repeat.)
This is the end of the task. You now have 15 seconds to check your answers.
Vocabulary:
I am not much of a cinema goer. – Я не большой любитель ходить в кино.
to be in the mood – быть в настроении.
to tell the difference – отличать (чувствовать разницу)
a leading part – главная роль
audition /ɔːˈdɪʃən/ — прослушивание
to turn out – оказываться
at least – по крайней мере
to trigger /ˈtrɪɡə/ — вызывать, давать начало
plot – сюжет
to slip – поскользнуться
schedule /ˈʃedjuːl/ или /ˈskedʒuːl/ – расписание, график
every other week – через неделю

Данная книга продолжает новую серию учебных пособий по подготовке к ЕГЭ по
английскому языку. В книге предложены пять полных вариантов экзамена в формате
ЕГЭ.
Тематика, проблематика, языковое и речевое наполнение тестовых заданий отобраны
в полном соответствии с кодификатором ЕГЭ.
Предложенные варианты тестов желательно выполнять в режиме реального времени
ЕГЭ, включая заполнение бланков ответа, поскольку часто успех экзамена зависит
не только от правильности выполнения заданий, но и от того, насколько точно
перенесены ответы в бланк ответа.
Материалы пособия можно использовать на занятиях под руководством учителя, а
также в ходе самостоятельной подготовки к экзамену. Предложенные задания
позволяют проверить и оценить уровень готовности к ЕГЭ, определить сильные и
слабые стороны своей подготовки.
Если в ходе выполнения каких-либо заданий возникают трудности, то можно
обратиться к другим книгам данной серии. В них можно найти советы по
формированию СТРАТЕГИЙ выполнения каждого из типов экзаменационных заданий ЕГЭ
(см. разделы «Тренировочные задания к различным частям экзамена», где есть
информация о структуре каждой части экзаменационной работы, о цели каждого
задания в данном разделе, а главное — советы по их оптимальному выполнению). Эти
советы можно рассматривать как алгоритм, который поможет избежать потери времени
на экзамене, повысить осознанность действий и концентрацию внимания на ключевых
моментах каждого задания. Желательно выполнять эти задания с опорой на пошаговые
рекомендации предложенного алгоритма: вспоминать, что нужно сделать до начала
непосредственной работы с заданием, как эффективно выполнить задание и как
самостоятельно проверить его выполнение. Если правильно следовать предложенным
инструкциям, вспоминать и проговаривать их перед выполнением каждого
тренировочного задания, то время на выполнение заданий будет сокращаться, так
как будет формироваться необходимый навык, т.е. автоматизм действий.
Попробуйте выполнить полный вариант любого экзаменационного задания в начале
учебного года, в середине года ЕГЭ и непосредственно перед ЕГЭ. Результат
покажет, насколько вы готовы к экзамену.
