Как писать монолог по английскому языку. Как подготовиться к Монологу из ОГЭ по английскому языку

В заключительной части статьи обсудим последнее задание устной части ОГЭ и подумаем, как увеличить скорость чтения на английском языке.

Монолог с опорой

Это задание устной части экзамена осталось почти таким же, каким и было в прошлом году (task 1), только к нему привинтили картинку по смыслу, чтоб было больше похоже на ЕГЭ.

На подготовку дается 1,5 минуты, и нужно отвечать не более двух минут , иначе не засчитают фрагмент задания, который выходит за пределы временного интервала.

За задание можно отхватить 7 баллов и“оценивается оно по трем критериям : решение коммуникативной задачи (здесь крайне важно развернуто рассказать о всех трех аспектах, упомянутых в задании и не игнорировать вопросы why?), организация высказывания (высказывание должно быть логично выстроено и объединено в единое целое с помощью связок (примеры связок уже приводила в этой ), должны присутствовать вступительная и финальная фразы и языковое оформление (требуется продемонстрировать разнообразный словарный запас и различные грамматические структуры, соответствующие уровню языка А2 (pre-intermediate) для ОГЭ” ().

И, ВНИМАНИЕ, если Вы получаете 0 за коммуникативную задачу (не отвечаете на два вопроса из трех или перескакиваете на другую тему), все задание оценивается в 0 баллов.

Как к нему готовиться

В кодификаторе есть список топиков , на которые должен уметь говорить выпускник 9-го класса, вот он:

1. Взаимоотношения в семье
2. Взаимоотношения с друзьями и в школе
3. Внешность и характеристики человека
4. Досуг и увлечения (спорт, музыка, чтение, посещение театра, кинотеатра, дискотеки, кафе). Молодежная мода
5. Покупки. Карманные деньги
6. Переписка
7. Школьная жизнь. Изучаемые предметы и отношение к ним. Каникулы. Школьные обмены
8. Проблемы выбора профессии и роль иностранного языка
9. Страна/страны изучаемого языка и родная страна. Их географическое положение, климат, население, города и села, достопримечательности.
10. Страна/страны изучаемого языка и родная страна. Их культурные особенности (национальные праздники, знаменательные даты, традиции, обычаи)
11. Выдающиеся люди родной страны и стран изучаемого языка, их вклад в науку и мировую культуру
12. Путешествие по странам изучаемого языка и по России
    Технический прогресс
13. Глобальные проблемы современности
14. Средства массовой информации (пресса, телевидение, радио, Интернет)
15. Природа и проблемы экологии. Здоровый образ жизни

Надо их проштудировать по любому англоязычному учебнику (мне нравятся Gateway B1+ , New Opportunities: Pre-Intermediate или Solutions: Pre-Intermediate , попутно вбивая в голову ученика устойчивые выражения для общения на ту или иную тему. Здесь особо усердствовать не стоит, не более 10 фраз, хорошо отработанных, вполне хватит. Экзамен – всегда стресс, дай бог три выражения из списка вспомнятся.

И периодически тренировать это задание (можно использовать задание 1 из прошлогоднего ОГЭ, примеры к нему есть в свободном доступе в Интернете в неограниченном количестве), положив перед глазами ученика секундомер с выставленными 2 минутами. Обязательно после выполнения задания заставлять его рефлексировать – ответил ли он на все поставленные вопросы, было ли в ответе вступление и заключение, какие тематические выражения и слова-связки использовал.

Свой ответ, еще раз повторюсь, следует строить по схеме : вступление – ответ на три вопроса по порядку – заключение + тематические выражения и слова-связки.

Пример

Для наглядности хочу привести пример, как бы я ответила на задание 3 устной части ОГЭ.

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
 why people like taking pictures
 why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
 what the best photo you have ever taken is
You have to talk continuously.

Ответ :

Now I’m going to give a talk about photography.

1. In my opinion , taking pictures is really popular now. Many of my friends and classmates have cameras on their mobiles which they use to take photos of everything they like.

1. Today taking photos is more popular than it was in the past because cameras are less expensive and many people can afford them. You can even take pictures using camera on your mobile phone! Also , there are a lot of social networks, for example Facebook or Vkontakte where people post photos and share them with friends.

Personally I have one really great photo. It was taken last year in Rome. You can see my mother and me in it. We are standing near a beautiful fountain in the center of the city. The sun is shining and we are smiling.

In the end I would like to say that taking photos helps us save one of the most precious things in life – our memories, which can always be with us when we look at this or that picture.

That’s all what I wanted to say.

А теперь разберем ответ .

Коммуникативная задача: на все три вопроса дан ответ.

Организация высказывания: слова-связки присутствуют, есть вступительная и финальная фразы (выделены курсивом).

Языковое оформление: лексика – использованы тематические слова и выражения – take pictures, photos, photography, post photos.

Грамматика – употреблены три времени – Present Simple, Present Continuous (при описании фото) и Past Simple, сравнительная степень (less expensive), превосходная степень (the most precious), пассивный залог (was taken), модальный глагол can.

Разнообразные грамматические структуры добавляют привлекательности ответу, и после того, как само задание будет оттренировано, надо заставлять ученика разнообразить оформление своего ответа.

Чтение вслух

В конце статьи поделюсь секретами подготовки к первому заданию устной части ОГЭ, а именно – как успеть прочитать фрагмент текста за заветные 120 секунд.

Допустим, освоили вы правила чтения, но в 2 минуты все равно не укладываетесь. Что делать? Очевидно, отчитывать тексты. Сама их подбираю (текст должен быть научно-публицистический), вот пример:

Computers have been around for over sixty years and they have changed our lives. It is a well-known fact that the first modern computer began operating in the USA in 1945. This huge machine was the size of a large room. It was also very slow and so complicated to use that only an expert could operate it. That’s very different from modern PCs which are so user-friendly that anyone can use them.

During the 1970s, tiny electronic microchips became more common. By the 1980s and 90s, home computers were becoming smaller, faster and cheaper. As a result, more people bought them, so computers became more wide-spread.

(Взяла из Activate B1)

И отрабатываем чтение вслух вот так:

1. Ученик читает про себя, думая над незнакомыми словами и где поставить паузу (даю 1.5 минуты, как и на ОГЭ).
2. Читает вслух, я корректирую правильность, потом вместе разбираем деление фрагмента на смысловые паузы. Обращаю внимание ученика, за сколько он прочитал текст первый раз.
3. Затем следует предпоследнее чтение, красивое и правильное, где я не обращаю внимания на скорость.
4. А в последний раз ученик должен и прочитать правильно, и уложиться в 2 минуты. Если этого сделать не получается, стараюсь вызвать чувство стыда и желание в следующий раз справиться лучше.

Кстати, чтение вслух и говорение тесно связаны. Чем быстрее темп речи, тем лучше читаешь вслух. Поэтому крайне полезно пересказывать все, к чему душа лежит – биографию любимого певца, содержание интересной книги или сериала.

Вся устная часть, как и в ЕГЭ, будет записываться на компьютер, поэтому надо все тренировать и доводить употребление выражений до автоматизма. Ученик и так нервничает, а если еще заболеет перед экзаменом или с подружкой поругается – вообще кошмар.

Если у Вас есть какие-то свои секреты подготовки к устной части ОГЭ, делитесь, буду очень признательна!

Всем удачи и учеников!

Update: На сайте ФИПИ наконец-таки появились методические рекомендации для членов комиссии экзамена, их можно найти по ссылке .

1. Монолог “Keeping fit”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about keeping fit. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak

∙ why a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays;
∙ what you do to keep fit;
∙ what sports activities are popular with teenagers in your region.
Примерный ответ
Well, now I’m going to give a talk about keeping fit and healthy lifestyle.
Healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular nowadays. There is a number of reasons for that but
the most important reason is that people live under the press of different problems, such as social,
ecological, economic and others. A person should be strong and healthy in order to overcome all
difficulties. Healthy lifestyle helps people do that.
As for me, I try to keep fit in different ways. First of all, I do my morning exercises every day. In addition
to it, I go to the swimming pool once or sometimes twice a week. Also, I stay away from bad habits,
because I’m convinced that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs destroy both body and brain.
Well, as to other teenagers of my region, I should say that they are interested in different sports activities.
They often play football and other active games on sports grounds, go to gyms and swimming pools.
Besides, more and more young men become interested in martial arts, such as karate, boxing, kickboxing,
judo and so on.
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that healthy lifestyle is a “must” for modern people.
2. Монолог “My school”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak
for not more than 2 minutes. Remember to say:
∙ what you like most about your school;
∙ what weekday you find the most difficult, and why;
∙ what you would like to change in your school life.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ

Well, now I’m going to give a talk about my school.
To begin with, I’d like to say that my school is one of the biggest schools in my city,
where more than one thousand pupils get their education.
I like my school very much, but it is my classmates that I like best of all. We are all
good friends and get on well with each other. We spend much time together doing
sports, playing active games and so on.
As for weekdays, I find Monday the most difficult one because we have six lessons
on this day, including Mathematics and Physics. Frankly speaking, I’m not good at
these subjects, and I don’t enjoy these lessons.
In my opinion, much can be changed and improved in my school. For example, PE
lessons. I’d like them to be more diverse. As a rule, we play volleyball and
basketball at the lessons, or simply run on the stadium. It would be better if we had
a chance to work out with weights and play games that are more interesting .
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that school education is very important
for teenagers and should help them build character and develop mind.
3. Монолог “Foreign languages”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about foreign languages. You will have to
start in 1.5 minutes
Remember to say:
· why lots of people learn foreign languages nowadays;
· why you have chosen to do the English exam this year;
· what you did to prepare for your English exam.
Примерный ответ
To begin with, I’d like to say that more and more people learn foreign languages
nowadays. They do it for a number of reasons. In the first place, people want to
understand citizens of other countries and to be understood by them. In addition to
it, travelling has become easier, and the Russians have a variety of opportunities for
going abroad. If you are fluent in a foreign language, you feel more confident.
It goes without saying that English is established as the most important and popular
language. As for me, I have been learning English for 5 years. And this year I have
chosen to do the English exam. I regard this exam as a chance to test my language
skills. I have always wanted to know my real speaking skills and find out my
strengths and weaknesses.
I did much work to prepare for my English exam. First of all, I revised grammar. I
learned a lot of rules and consolidated them in doing exercises. In addition to it, I
read texts of various genres to enlarge my vocabulary. I also listened to a number of

radio programmes and podcasts to make my listening better. And I also made
efforts to improve my speaking. I used every chance to speak English at the lessons
and at home.
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that English is in great demand these
days, so I recommend everybody to start learning it as soon as possible and commit
to it.
4.Монолог “Pets”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will

Remember to say:
· why people keep pets;
· what pets are most popular in big cities;
· whether having pets is a big responsibility, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about pets.
To begin with, I’d like to say that nowadays more and more people keep pets in their
houses: cats, dogs, parrots, hamsters, guinea pigs, and so on. They do it for a
number of reasons. In the first place, people seek to make friends, and pets are a
kind of friends they can make fast and easily. Besides, pets give positive emotions,
that’s why people like to keep them. If you are under stress, you can just stroke
your cat and feel somewhat relieved.
As to the most popular pets in big cities, I should say it depends. If you live in a big
city, a cat or a small dog would be the best option. Firstly, they don’t need
extensive space to live on. Secondly, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on
buying pet food. If you live in the country, you can choose whatever you want.
There is always plenty of room and food for any pet here.
Anyway, having pets is a big responsibility. Pets are animate objects, and if you
don’t take good care of them, they may fall sick and even die.
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that pets play an important part in our
life and we should be aware of both pluses and minuses of keeping them.

5.Монолог “The Internet”
Задание
and
Remember to say:
· why today’s teenagers use the Internet so much;
· how the Internet makes long-distance communication easier;
· what dangers teenagers can face when they use the Internet.
You have to talk continuously.
Задание (вариант 2)
You are going to give a talk about the Internet. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes
and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why using the Internet is so popular;
· how the Internet can help students in their studies;
· whether the Internet can be dangerous, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
To begin with, I’d like to say that we live in the world of modern technologies. We
are surrounded by lots of sophisticated gadgets: smartphones, iPhones, notebooks,
netbooks, laptops. They are very useful because they have practically unlimited
functionality. But it is the connection to the Internet that makes them useful to the
max.
Today the Internet is exceedingly popular and used very much, especially by
teenagers. They do it for a number of reasons. Firsty, they create their profiles on
different social nets such as vkontakte, odnoklassniki, facebook, instagram and
others. Young people like communicating with each other, and the social nets give
them this opportunity. Secondly, the Internet is a depot of innumerable information,
so teenagers use the internet as a source of answers for various questions. So, the
Internet helps students in their studies. Whether they need to make a report or
prepare for a test, they launch a browser, type in the request and get lots of pages
according to the request.

Besides, the Internet makes long-distance communication easier. There are special
programs for communcation of this kind. One of them is Skype, which is sure to be
the most popular programm. You can see and hear the person whom you are talking
to.
Frankly speaking, the Internet is not as safe as you wish it were. Firstly, the spread
of information is uncontrolled on the Internet, so teenagers often run into dangerous
pages containing information about selling drugs or committing a suicide. I strongly
believe that this information must be banned.
In conlcusion I’d like to say that if you follow the safety rules when using the
Internet you are not endangered, and you can use the Internet to your advantage as
much as possible.
6.Монолог “Holidays”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about holidays. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and
will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· what holidays are most popular in your country;
· what your favourite holiday is and how you celebrate it;
· if you prefer to give presents or to get presents, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Задание (вариант 2)
You are going to give a talk about public holidays in Russia. You will have to start in
1.5
Remember to say:
· what public holidays are celebrated in Russia;
· what your favourite public holiday is, and why you like it;
· how your favourite public holiday is celebrated in your city, town or village.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, now I’m going to talk about holidays.
To begin with, holidays play an important part in our life. Holidays give us an
opportunity to rest and relax, they also improve our mood and make us happier.

Our country has a number of (public) holidays. The most popular are New Year, the
8th of March (the women’s day), Spring and Labour Day, Victory Day, Russia Day,
and others. All these holidays are very important for every citizen of the Russian
Federation.
My favorite (public) holiday is New Year because this is a special occasion. It is not
only an opportunity to relax but also to think about how you lived the past year and
make plans for the next one. In addition to it, New Year is a reunion for the whole
family of ours, so we always look forward to it.
My family established its own way of celebrating New Year. In the evening we visit
our best friends who live next door and have some time together. Then, at midnight,
we come back home and have our celebratory meal. We usually watch TV shows,
listen to music, fool around, and, of course, give each other presents.
As for me, I like both giving presents and getting them. Both actions are very
enjoying. But honestly speaking, I like getting presents more because now I don’t
have enough money for giving them.
Staying at home with your family is not the only way to celebrate New Year. You can
visit city celebrations which include fairs, contests, concerts, and fireworks. The
culmination of the New Year celebration in our city is setting up fireworks. It is just
awesome!
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that every holiday is a great time, and I
wish there were as many holidays as possible.
7. Монолог “Travelling”
Задание
and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why most people like travelling;
· which season is the best for travelling in your opinion;
· what means of transport is the best, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Задание (вариант 2)
You are going to give a talk about travelling. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes
and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:

· why most people enjoy travelling;
· what people like doing while travelling;
· what place you would like to go to, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Nowadays, people have a great variety to rest and relax: going to the cinema,
playing sports, and so on. But the most popular option remains travelling.
People like travelling for a number of reasons. Firstly, travelling is a good way to
focus away from work and study and, so to say, to recharge batteries. I mean
people can replenish their inner supplies of energy and refresh emotions. Secondly,
travelling is a good way to broaden the mind and gain knowledge. If you go to a
foreign country, you can learn its customs and traditions, see the sights, make
friends with local citizens.
While travelling, people like to do different things. It depends upon the place and
purpose of your visit. If you travel to a resort town, you usually swim in the sea and
bake in the sun. If you travel on business, you’re supposed to establish contacts,
carry on talks, making contracts, and so on. If you travel for educational reasons,
you attend lessons, go on excursions, gain knowledge and develop your skills.
In my opinion, summer is the best season for travelling. Most adults are on leave in
this period and children have holidays, that’s why summer is the optimal time when
you can start on a journey.
As to means of transport, each one has its pluses and minuses. If you travel by
train, you can admire beautiful landscapes and you feel safe. But it takes more time
to get to the destination. Travelling by plane saves time but deprives you the
chance to enjoy the nature outside, and what is more, fills you with misgivings
about the flight.
As to me, I have already travelled to many places, but my dream is to visit Tokyo.
This is the place I would like to go to because it is one of the world leaders in
business, culture, science and technology. Besides, I plan to learn Japanese in the
future, so, visiting Japan can help me to do that.
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that travelling plays an important part in
our life and everybody should travel as much as possible.
8.Монолог “Career plans”
Задание

You are going to give a talk about your career plans. You will have to start in 1.5
minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· what job you want to do in the future;
· what two subjects you think are the most important for your future job, and why;
· whether your family approve of your career choice or not.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
All people have to work in order to make a living. It is very important that a person
has a job according to his or her abilities and wishes.
As for me, I’d like to be an interpreter in the future. I like foreign languages very
much, and, frankly speaking, I’m very good at them. Nowadays, I do my best to
learn English and Spanish because they are the languages that are widely spoken
and popular with lots of people.
I think that English and Geography are the most important subjects for my future
job. They are two subjects that help me learn much about other countries, their
customs and traditions. English and Geography also help me understand native
people of other countries, respect their culture and communicate with them in the
most effective way.
All the members of my family approve my career choice because they strongly
believe that interpreting is an exciting and well-paid job. Frankly speaking, my
family just want me to be happy and they support any decision of mine.
In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that every teenager shouldn’t
procrastinate in deciding about his or her job because a successful career requires
much time and efforts.
9 Монолог “Books”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about books. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and
will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:

· whether reading is still popular with teenagers, and why, or why not;
· what kind of books you like reading;
· why many people prefer e-books to paper books.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about books.
To begin with, I’d like to say that there are a lot of ways to spend free time: doing
sports, watching TV, going to the cinema, playing games, and so on. And, of course,
you can just read a book.
Frankly speaking, reading books is losing its popularity with teenagers making way
for more exciting activities, such as watching blockbasters in 3-D, playing computer
games, social networking, arranging parties. If a teenager has to choose between
reading a book and playing a brand new computer game, he or she will definitly
show preference for the game. Modern games excel books in all aspects. Firstly,
modern games make a tremendous visual impact. The game world looks extremely
realistic. Secondly, when playing a game, you are not an outsider. You are an active
insider participating in everything that happens in the game world.
As for me, I have to confess that I am not only a gamer, but also a regular reader.
Yes, I like reading very much! Science fiction is my favourite kind of literature
because it gives a different view of our reality. It doesn’t present our world as it is
but as it could be. I think that science fiction is much deeper than, say, detective
stories. The problems science fiction deals with are more global and serious.
If you take a more closer look at reading people, you will notice that they usualy
read e-books. There is a number of reasons why many people prefer e-books to
paper books. The main reason is that you can download unlimited e-books for free
from the Internet. In addition to it, e-books are much comfortable to read. There is a
variety of devices that can open e-books: computers, tablets, smartphones.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that modern world is full of exciting things like sports,
TV, parties and so on. Nevertheless, books shouldn’t be forgotten.
10. Монолог “School homework”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about your school homework. You will have to start in

Remember to say:
· how long it takes you to do your homework;
· what subject you usually start with, and why;
· whether schoolchildren should be given more or less homework, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about my school homework.
To begin with, I’d like to say that school homework is an essential part of school
education. Almost everyone who goes to school is given hometasks.
As for me, duration of doing my homework depends on many factors. For example,
our teachers of Literature and History are in the habit of giving a lot of homework,
which involves reading many pages of textbooks, writing synopses, making
presentations, and so on. If you are not ready with all this stuff, you get a bad mark.
As I don’t want to get bad marks, I have to spend long hours to prepare for the
lessons. It may take me 3 or even 4 hours to finish the school homework. But to tell
the truth, there are teachers who spare pupils’ time and don’t give much work. They
organize their lessons so that there is little left for home.
As to sequence of subjects, I usualy start with Literature because this is the most
voluminous subject including many works of fiction, critique, philosophy, and the
like. I prefer to get rid of the most boring subject in the first place and then start
doing something that is more interesting.
I strongly believe that schoolchildren should be given less homework. I don’t
understand teachers who give their pupils too much homework and are sure that
they do them good. Teachers should know that our brain can effectively process a
limited amount of information. The rest of information vanishes into thin air. If you
keep trying to remember everything you are given by teachers, you will most likely
go crazy.
In conclusion, I’d like to appeal to teachers and make them remember their own
school life. Teachers schould never forget that they were pupils in the past and, like
today’s young people, had difficulties with the homework.
11 Монолог “TV”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will
speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· whether watching TV is still a popular pastime with teenagers, and why, or why
not;
· how many hours a week you watch TV;
· what you dislike most about TV.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about TV.
To begin with, I’d like to say that TV is one of the greatest enventions of all times. It
is impossible to imagine days when people lived without TV.
In my opinion, watching TV is losing its popularity with teenagers. The reason is that
teenagers prefer the Internet to TV. Not long ago, TV used to be the main source of
information and entertainment. It is no longer the case. Now, if you want to know
what is happening in the world, you launch a browser, do some clicks and get
innumerable quantity of information. If you want to watch something entertaining,
you don’t need TV. There are lots of youtube channels providing clips, shows,
interviews with celebrities, and the like. You can start watching a video, pause it for
any time and then start again. You can’t do the same trick with television.
As for me, I don’t watch TV very often. I usually do it when new episodes of my
favourite serials appear. So, I watch TV approximately 3 of 4 hours a week.
Sometimes it happens that there are no new episodes of my favourite serials, so I
spend no time at all.
There are a lot of things I dislike about TV. But endless blocks of commercials drive
me really crazy! It goes without saying that advertising gives money for producing
new content, but there should be some limits to advertising.
In conclusion, I’d like to acknowledge great importance of television, but at the
same time, I’d like to state the fact that TV gradually abandons its absolute position
making way for the Internet.
12 Монолог “Free time”
Задание

You are going to give a talk about your free time. You will have to start in 1.5
minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· whether you have a lot of free time, and why, or why not;
· what you enjoy doing in your free time;
· what your Sunday afternoons are like.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about my free time.
To begin with, I’d like to say that people have to work more and more in the modern
world to make a career, earn a living, and become succesful. This also holds true for
teenagers, beacause they have to study a lot. So, both adults and teenagers don’t
have much free time.
As for me, I don’t have much free time either, because I am faced with a number of
important exams this year. As I don’t want to fail them, I make every effort to learn
the necessary material. I read a lot of textbooks and additional articles, do
innumerable exercises, attend preparation courses, and so on.
In spite of the fact that I have to work a lot, I try to find some time for recreation
and fun. Frankly speaking, I enjoy doing many things in my free time. I like to take
walks, come to see my friends, watch TV, surf the Internet, and so on. My favourite
pastime is going to a swimming pool. I am keen on having a healthy lifestyle, and
swimming helps me to keep fit.
As to my Sunday afternoons, I should confess that they are just for doing nothing
active. I usually take my tablet, sink into the sofa, and watch videos on youtube or
communicate in social nets. Sunday afternoons are the period when I don’t overload
myself with activities, because I need to collect my strength for Monday, which is
my busiest weekday.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that it is very important to not only have free time but
also give it to your hobbies and interests.
13 Монолог “Weather and seasons”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about weather and seasons. You will have to start in 1.5
minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:

· which of the four seasons you like most, and why;
· how the Earth’s climate has changed recently;
· whether you trust the weather forecast, and why.
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about weather and seasons.
To begin with, I’d like to say that there are four seasons in a year: winter, spring,
summer, and autumn.
As for me, I like summer most of all, because this is the period when we have
vacations. And vacations mean freedom. Absolutely! We have no need to get up
early and be in a hurry to leave for school. It is not necessary to spend long hours
doing school homework. The only thing we have to do in summer is relaxing to the
max. In addition to it, the weather is awesome in summer! As a rule, it is warm and
sunny.
By the way, the Earth’s climate has changed recently. If you take a closer look at
what’s happening in the world, you see natural phenomena that never took place
before. Melting arctic ice is one of numerous examples. It gradually fills the ocean
with huge amounts of additional water that makes the water level higher and
causes ecological disasters. In addition to it, mass media often give information
about disastrous hurricanes and severe droughts that occur in unexpected time and
place.
As to the weather forecast, I don’t trust it if it is given for the longer period of time. I
don’t believe that man can predict what is going to be in a week or fortnight.
Nevertheless, I think that the weather forecast for one or two days is most likely to
be correct, and you should trust it.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that weather is an interesting subject, which is worth
studying and paying attention to.
14 Монолог “Photography”
Задание
You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes
and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why people like taking pictures
· why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
· what the best photo you have ever taken is
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about photography.
To begin with, I’d like to say that people have always wanted beautiful moments of
life to last forever. Photography helps them to make it happen.
People like taking pictures for a number of reasons. As I have just mentioned,
people want to save beautiful moments of life forever. For example, while visiting an
exotic country, you see lots of things that don’t exist in your own area. You never
see a coconut tree in Siberia and heaps of snow somewhere in the south. Why not
to take a picture? In addition to it, people take pictures not only for fun but also for
fixing details of an occurrence. It is often the case when pictures help to investigate
a crime.
It is really a fact that taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past.
The main reason is that taking photos has become much easier today. You just take
a smartphone, do a click and that’s it. It has also become easier to share photos
with friends. You can upload it on your profile in a social net and let everyone see it.
As for me, I like taking photos very much. Frankly speaking, I have many good
photos, but the best one was taken last year in the Altai Mountains. My friends and I
effected an ascent of a mountain and took a picture on the very top of it. The
picture is just awesome! When I look at it, I admire wonderful nature and remember
my friends.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that taking pictures is a never-ending hobby, which will
carry away more and more people.

Устная часть ОГЭ по английскому языку в новом формате была введена в 2016 году . Это компьютеризированная часть экзамена. То есть, экзаменуемый будет выполнять задания, которые поочередно будут появляться на экране компьютера. Ответы записываются на электронный носитель, а потом будут проверены экспертами ОГЭ. Во время экзамена общение с экзаменатором не предусмотрено . Поэтому Вам в первую очередь нужно ознакомиться с форматом заданий устной части. Во время подготовки необходимо научиться строго следовать временным рамкам, отведенным на выполнение каждого задания.

Speaking Part

Примерная тематика заданий раздела 5 (Speaking Part) по версии ФИПИ

Общение происходит в рамках следующих сфер общения и примерной тематики:

— социально-бытовая сфера общения : общение в семье и школе, межличностные отношения с друзьями и сверстниками.

— социально-культурная сфера : досуг и увлечения молодежи; страны изучаемого языка; родная страна; выдающиеся люди, их вклад в науку и мировую культуру; природа и проблемы экологии; здоровой образ жизни.

— учебно-трудовая сфера : проблема выбора профессии и роль иностранного языка.

Инструкция по выполнению работы

Устная часть КИМ ОГЭ по английскому языку включает в себя 3 задания.

Задание 1

Чтение вслух небольшого текста научно-популярного характера.

Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты.

Советы:

• Прочитайте статьи о правилах чтения и звуков в английском языке. Запомните их и применяйте во время выполнения заданий на экзамене.
• Изучите правила расстановки пауз, интонации и логических ударений в английском языке.

Предлагаю Вам посмотреть видео с рекомендациями для подготовки к выполнению Задания 1 Устной части ЕГЭ (11 класс). Задания на ОГЭ и ЕГЭ практически идентичные — чтение вслух текста. Поэтому видео будет полезным для всех, кто готовится к итоговой аттестации по английскому языку.

Задание 2

Вам предлагается принять участие в условном диалоге-расспросе : ответить на шесть услышанных в аудиозаписи вопросов телефонного опроса.

Советы:

• Как можно чаще слушайте английскую речь, вырабатывайте навык восприятия английской речи на слух.
• Выполняйте задания, опубликованные на сайте ФИПИ.
• Обязательно записывайте свои ответы на диктофон, чтобы убедиться, что вы укладываетесь в отведенное для ответа время – 40 секунд на каждый вопрос. Также вы сможете проанализировать свои фонетические и грамматические ошибки, допущенные во время ответа.

Внимание!

Вопросы звучат только один раз!

Текст вопроса на экране не появляется!

Записи делать во время экзамена не разрешается!

Вступительная часть Задания 2 для разных вариантов КИМ одинаковая, за исключением предложения, в котором будет указана тема вашего разговора.

Важно!

Не нажимайте кнопку перехода к следующему вопросу, даже если вы уложились с ответом в более короткий срок, или вовсе не ответили на вопрос. Ждите, когда диктор произнесет следующий вопрос.

Из опыта прошлого года могу сказать, что при нажатии на кнопку «Далее» («NEXT»), переход осуществлялся не к следующему вопросу Задания 2, а сразу к Заданию 3. Следовательно, ученик терял баллы на вопросах из Задания 2, которые просто не услышал.

Задание 3

Вам необходимо построить связное монологическое высказывание на определённую тему с опорой на план.

Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты.

Внимание!!!

В 2016 и 2017 Задание 3 сопровождалось фотографией, которую НЕ нужно было описыва ть. Она просто служила визуальной опорой для генерирования идей для вашего монологического высказывания.

В 2018 году Задание 3 представлено БЕЗ фотографии!

В вашем монологе обязательно должны присутствовать вступительная и заключительная фразы , связанные с темой высказывания. Общий объем высказывания должен составлять 10 – 12 предложений.

Ваша речь должна быть естественной и спонтанной (без заученных наизусть длинных предложений из топиков). Для этого используйте в своем ответе следующие слова и выражения:

• Well, … — Ну …
• To tell the truth … — Честно говоря …
• To be honest … — Если быть честным …
• You know, … — Знаете …
• As far as I know, … — Насколько я знаю …
• As far as I can see, … — Насколько я могу судить …
• Actually, … — На самом деле …
• The thing is that … — Дело в том, что …
• It’s a kind of … — Это что-то вроде …
• I am sure that … — Я уверен, что …
• I believe that … — Я полагаю, что …
• I think that … — Я думаю, что …
• In my opinion … - По моему мнению …
• Let me see. — Дайте-ка подумать.
• I am not quite sure I know the right answer, … — Я не совсем уверен, что знаю правильный ответ …
• Without any doubt, … — Вне всякого сомнения …
• It goes without saying that … — Понятно без слов… / Безусловно...
• Firstly, … — Во-первых, …
• Secondly, … — Во-вторых, …
• Thirdly, … — В-третьих, …
• Besides, … — Кроме того …
• Moreover, … — Более того …
• Last but not least, … — Последнее, но не менее важное …
• I should say / admit that … — Хочу сказать / отметить, что …
• By the way, … — К стати, …
• All in all, … — В целом …
• In conclusion, … — В заключение …

Избавляемся от архаизмов! To my mind … практически не встречается в современном английском.

Общее время ответа одного участника ОГЭ (включая время на подготовку) – 15 минут . Каждое последующее задание выдаётся после окончания выполнения предыдущего задания. Всё время ответа ведётся аудиозапись. Постарайтесь полностью выполнить поставленные задачи, говорить ясно и чётко, не отходить от темы и следовать предложенному плану ответа. Так вы сможете набрать наибольшее количество баллов.

Практическое выполнение заданий

Ну а теперь приступим к практическому выполнению заданий Устной части из Демонстрационного варианта ОГЭ 2017. Обратите внимание, что в данной статье предложены примерные варианты выполнения заданий с учетом личного опыта моих учеников. Во время подготовки к экзамену постарайтесь продумать свои ответы, которые будут основаны на вашем личном опыте и событиях из вашей жизни.

Task 1

You are going to read the text aloud . You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

The ninth planet of the solar system was discovered not long ago. It happened in 1930. Scientists had been hunting for the planet for a long time. They had calculated its probable position but there was no proof that the planet really existed. It was too far away for the telescopes of that time to find it. It’s worth mentioning that the first photos of the planet were taken by a very young researcher. He was only twenty-four and had no formal education in astronomy. However he was deeply involved in the search for the ninth planet. The planet at the edge of the solar system was called Pluto, after the Roman god. The name for the planet was suggested by an 11-year-old British girl.

Task 1 Listen to the model answer

Mind your pronunciation!

[θ] – ninth , worth

[ɜ:] – wor th, wer e, fir st, gir l, resear cher, sear ch

1930 – nineteen thirty

Task 2

You are going to take part in a telephone survey. You have to answer six questions. Give full answers to the questions. Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Аудиозапись: Adobe Flash Player (версия 9 или выше) требуется для воспроизведения этой аудиозаписи. Скачать последнюю версию . К тому же, в Вашем браузере должен быть включен JavaScript.

Electronic assistant: How old are you?

Student: I am 14 (15) years old.

Electronic assistant: How many times a week do you do sports?

Student: To tell the truth, I am not very good at doing sports. Sometimes I go cycling with my friends at weekends. And of course, I have got three PT classes a week at school and I think it is quite enough for me.

Electronic assistant: What sport is the most popular with teenagers in your region?

Student: Well, I think volleyball is the most popular sport with teens in our region. Practically everyone knows the rules of this game. It can be played both indoors and outdoors. Volleyball competitions often take place in our region. And I am very proud that our men’s team “Belogorie” won the title of Russian Champion eight times.

Electronic assistant: What sports facilities are available in the place where you live?

Student: The thing is that I live in a small village that’s why there is a lack of sports facilities here. Nevertheless we have got a stadium /ˈsteɪdiəm/ and a new sports center where people can do different workouts, play football, volleyball and tennis. Also there are sports grounds near each school. Unfortunately we haven’t got a swimming pool in my settlement.

Electronic assistant: Why do you think it is important to keep fit?

Student: Without any doubt /daʊt/, keeping fit is very important for your body. If you do regular exercises, you can stay healthy, attractive and flexible for a long time. You can also increase your energy levels and improve your mood and memory.

Electronic assistant: What would you advise a person who wants to keep fit?

Student: To my mind, the best way to keep fit is to do regular exercises, no matter what they are: jogging, yoga or riding a bike. Secondly, you should eat healthy food and drink lots of water. Last but not least, you should sleep enough.

Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Enjoy watching!

Task 3 Listen to the model answer

(recorded by my student Oksana Pankova)

Аудиозапись: Adobe Flash Player (версия 9 или выше) требуется для воспроизведения этой аудиозаписи. Скачать последнюю версию . К тому же, в Вашем браузере должен быть включен JavaScript.

Nowadays lots of people enjoy taking pictures. Some of them are professional photographers, while others consider it as a hobby. (вступление 2)

Actually, our life is full of bright events and unusual moments that’s why people take pictures to capture them. For example, weddings, the birth of a child, visits to different countries, starting or leaving school are much photographed /ˈfəʊtəɡrɑːf/. (2)

Taking pictures is more popular today because practically everyone has a camera built in the cell phone. To be honest, digital cameras are very easy to operate. It’s great that you can look through your snapshot (снимок) immediately and if you don’t like it, you can delete it and take another one. In the past most people could not even afford [əˈfɔːd] a camera. Moreover, the process of taking pictures and printing them was very hard (difficult, time-consuming). (5)

As for me, I am fond of photography and have got a professional camera. The best photo I have ever taken is the photo of the Eiffel [´aifəl] Tower which is the symbol of Paris. I did it three years ago during my summer holiday. (3)

All in all, I should say that people take pictures to remember the best moments of their life forever. (завершающая фраза 1)

А вот и реальные фотографии нашей поездки в Европу в 2014 году.

Подготовка к устной части ОГЭ по английскому языку

в 2015 году (ниже)

A. ОГЭ — монологическая речь (1,5 — 2 мин)

Первая часть устного экзамене — это тематическое монологическое высказывание . Это означает, что Вы должны рассказать небольшой монолог по теме задания (по плану) и ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО выразить свое отношение к проблеме.

Итак, сейчас вы узнаете как получить максимальное количество баллов за монолог. Монологическая речь относится к базовому уровню. На подготовку ответа дается 6 минут. В это время вы должны:

• набросать план ответа на вопрос по опциям задания;
• вспомнить несколько интересных грамматических конструкций и «продвинутые» слова по данной теме.

На ответ вам дается около 3-3,5 минут — НЕ БОЛЕЕ, поэтому сказать вам надо 10-12 фраз.

Вот задание с сайта ФИПИ:

В данном задании 3 опции (пункта):

1. whether it is useful to speak foreign languages and why
2. what foreign languages you learn at school
3. how people learn foriegn languages

Слово «whether» — означает «ли», а не «погода» , то есть в данном билете вы должны рассказать «полезно ЛИ говорить на иностранном языке» и аргументировать почему.

Вот критерии оценивания вашего ответа (задание «Монолог»):

• Вы получите 3 балла, если вы раскрыли все опции (пункты задания), то есть дали развернутые ответы (по 2-3 предложения) и привели хорошие аргументы
• Вы продемонстрировали социально-культурные знания о своей стране или о стране изучаемого языка
• Вы были логичны: использовали вводные и заключительные фразы; а также сложноподчинительные союзы: because, so, that’s why и другие

2. Лексико-грамматическая сторона речи — 2 балла

• Вы продемонстрировали разнообразный словарный запас и употребили в своей речи несколько сложных грамматических структур, типа «пассивный залог», «сослагательное наклонение», «сложное дополнение».

3. Произносительная сторона речи

• Вы получите 1 балл, если не будете делать грубых ошибок в произношении

Вы можете получить 0 баллов за задание монолог, если

• рассказываете заученный топик;
• говорите меньше 1 минуты;
• говорите не на ту тему;
• читаете текст, написанный во время подготовки к экзамену.

2. Взаимодействие с экзаменатором – 3 балла
После того как вы все рассказали, экзаменатор задаст вам последний «контрольный» вопрос, которого НЕТ в вашем билете. При ответе на последний вопрос учитываются:

• поняли ли вы вопрос
• логично и развернуто ли вы отвечаете, хорошие ли у вас аргументы
• не противоречит ли ваш ответ вышесказанному
• можете ли вы переспросить (баллы за это не снижают)

0 баллов вы получите за неправильный ответ или если будете молчать.

В. ОГЭ — диалогическая речь (2,5 -3 мин)

Виды диалогов

1. Диалог этикетного характера (начинать, поддерживать, заканчивать разговор; поздравлять, выражать пожелания и реагировать на них, выражать благодарность, вежливо переспрашивать, отказываться соглашаться).
2. Диалог-расспрос (запрашивать и сообщать фактическую информацию (кто? что? как? где? куда? когда? с кем? почему?), целенаправленно расспрашивать, брать интервью).
3. Диалог –побуждение к действию (обращаться с просьбой и выражать готовность/отказ ее выполнить, давать совет и принимать / не принимать его; приглашать к действию и соглашаться / не соглашаться принять в нем участие; делать предложение и выражать согласие/ несогласие принять его).
4. Диалог –обмен мнениями (выражать точку зрения и соглашаться /не соглашаться с ней, высказывать ободрение/неодобрение, высказывать сомнение, выражать эмоциональную оценку обсуждаемых событий (радость, огорчение, желание/нежелание).

Владение диалогической речью относится к повышенному уровню и вы можете получить 9 баллов за диалог.< /strong>

Вот задание с сайта ФИПИ:

Задание: Представьте себе, что вы студент международной языковой школы. В субботу в вашей школе состоится вечеринка «Хэллоуин», а вы ничего не знаете об этом празднике. У вашей одногруппницы Софии есть книга о традициях Хэллоуина. Вы заходите к Софии в комнату.

• Explain the situation and ask if you can borrow the book — объясните ситуацию и спросите, можете ЛИ взять книгу на какое-то время (to borrow — взять на время, позаимствовать)

• Answer your classmate’s questions about holidays — ответьте на вопросы одногрупницы о праздниках.

Роль одногруппницы будет играть экзаменатор — собеседник. Он непременно будет расспрашивать вас о праздниках и традициях в вашей стране (holidays — переводится каникулы, праздники. В данном контексте подходит вариант перевода — праздники). Повторите тему «Праздники и традиции»

• Answer the questions about travelling — ответьте на вопросы одногруппницы о путешествиях.

В данном контексте, видимо, одногруппница в лице экзаменатора предложит вам совершить небольшое путешествие куда-либо. По контексту не совсем понятно!

• Reject your classmate’s invitation. Give an excuse. — Вежливо отклоните ее предложение. Объясните причину.

Это самая важная часть диалога. Именно вы должны его завершить и попрощаться.

Вот критерии оценивания ответа (задание «Диалог»):

• Вы активны и предложили несколько вариантов, поинтересовались мнением собеседника
• Ваша речь была логична и связана, было принято логичное решение.

0 баллов за диалог вы получите, если превратите его в монолог, не будете реагировать на слова собеседника, или не раскроете опции задания.

3. Лексико-грамматическое оформление речи – 2 балла

• Вы не испытывали трудности с выбором лексики и продемонстрировали богатый словарный запас.
• Вы использовали разговорные грамматические конструкции и другие сложные грамматические структуры.
• Можно допустить не более 3 не грубых языковых ошибок не затрудняющих понимание (например, ошибки на артикли и предлоги).
• Нельзя допускать ошибок базового уровня (на глагол be, простые времена, окончание –s)

0 баллов вы получите, если ваш словарный запас и большое количество ошибок препятствует пониманию.

4. Произношение —1 балл

• Здесь учитывается интонация, правильное произнесение звуков и отсутствие фонематических ошибок.

Как вести монолог:

1. Поздороваться с экзаменатором и представиться.

Первый вопрос будет «вопрос- разминка», его не будут записывать на магнитофон.

1. Введение в тему. Well, I would like to give my opinion on … .

Задание
You are going to give a talk about keeping fit. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes. Remember to say:
· why a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays;
· what you do to keep fit;
· what sports activities are popular with teenagers in your region.

Примерный ответ
Well, now I’m going to give a talk about keeping fit and healthy lifestyle.

Healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular nowadays. There is a number of reasons for that but the most important reason is that people live under the press of different problems, such as social, ecological, economic and others. A person should be strong and healthy in order to overcome all difficulties. Healthy lifestyle helps people do that.

As for me, I try to keep fit in different ways. First of all, I do my morning exercises every day. In addition to it, I go to the swimming pool once or sometimes twice a week. Also, I stay away from bad habits, because I’m convinced that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs destroy both body and brain.

Well, as to other teenagers of my region, I should say that they are interested in different sports activities. They often play football and other active games on sports grounds, go to gyms and swimming pools. Besides, more and more young men become interested in martial arts, such as karate, boxing, kickboxing, judo and so on.

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that healthy lifestyle is a “must” for modern people.

Монолог “My school”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes. Remember to say:
· what you like most about your school;
· what weekday you find the most difficult, and why;
· what you would like to change in your school life.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ

I like my school very much, but it is my classmates that I like best of all. We are all good friends and get on well with each other. We spend much time together doing sports, playing active games and so on.

As for weekdays, I find Monday the most difficult one because we have six lessons on this day, including Mathematics and Physics. Frankly speaking, I’m not good at these subjects, and I don’t enjoy these lessons.

In my opinion, much can be changed and improved in my school. For example, PE lessons. I’d like them to be more diverse. As a rule, we play volleyball and basketball at the lessons, or simply run on the stadium. It would be better if we had a chance to work out with weights and play games that are more interesting .

Задание (вариант 2)
You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· what your typical school day is like;
· what your favourite subject is, and why;
· what you like most about your school.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, now I’m going to give a talk about my school.

To begin with, I’d like to say that my shool is one of the biggest schools in my city, where more than one thousand pupils get their education.

As far as my typical school day concerned, I should say it is very busy. It usually starts at 8 o’clock in the morning and comes to an end at 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Every day we have 6 and sometimes 7 lessons. We also have breaks, but they are not very long.

As I have just mentioned, my typical school day involves a number of lessons. Russian, Literature, and Mathematics are the most frequent ones. As a rule, we do a lot of work at these lessons: learn rules, do exercises and tests, write essays, make reports, and so on.

My favourite subject is English. I have been learning it since the 2nd form and I hope to relate my life to it. Chances are good that I will be an interpreter. If not, I can always go to school and be an English teacher.

I like a lot in my school but it is my classmates that I like most. We are all good friends and get on well with each other. We spend much time together doing sports, playing active games, going to the cinema.

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that school education is very important for teenagers and should help them build character and develop mind.

Монолог “The place where I live”

Задание

Примерный ответ (на примере г. Кемерово)
Well, I am going to give a talk about my city.

To begin with, I’d like to say that the name of my city is Kemerovo. This is the capital of Kuzbass, the main coal region of Siberia.

In the first place, Kemerovo is famous for its coal producers and chemical industry. Coal mined here is consumed in this country and exported abroad. In addition to coal, different chemicals are produced here. The products of a gigantic plant Azot are in great demand all over the country.

As to me, I like my city very much, because it has lots of beautiful places where you can rest and relax. The embankment of the river Tom is my favourite place in Kemerovo. Here you can sit quietly on the banks and admire wonderful nature. The embankment is also a good place where you can walk alone or with your friends.

Frankly speaking, I haven’t yet decided what to do after leaving school. It depends on many factors. More likely than not, I will stay in my city, because I have all the opportunities to get good education here. I just have no reason of moving to another region. But as the saying is, time will tell.

In conclusion, I’d like to invite everyone to visit Kemerovo and enjoy this city.

Монолог “Foreign languages”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about foreign languages. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why lots of people learn foreign languages nowadays;
· why you have chosen to do the English exam this year;
· what you did to prepare for your English exam.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
To begin with, I’d like to say that more and more people learn foreign languages nowadays. They do it for a number of reasons. In the first place, people want to understand citizens of other countries and to be understood by them. In addition to it, travelling has become easier, and the Russians have a variety of opportunities for going abroad. If you are fluent in a foreign language, you feel more confident.

It goes without saying that English is established as the most important and popular language. As for me, I have been learning English for 5 years. And this year I have chosen to do the English exam. I regard this exam as a chance to test my language skills. I have always wanted to know my real speaking skills and find out my strengths and weaknesses.

I did much work to prepare for my English exam. First of all, I revised grammar. I learned a lot of rules and consolidated them in doing exercises. In addition to it, I read texts of various genres to enlarge my vocabulary. I also listened to a number of radio programmes and podcasts to make my listening better. And I also made efforts to improve my speaking. I used every chance to speak English at the lessons and at home.

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that English is in great demand these days, so I recommend everybody to start learning it as soon as possible and commit to it.

Монолог “Pets”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why people keep pets;
· what pets are most popular in big cities;
· whether having pets is a big responsibility, and why.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about pets.

To begin with, I’d like to say that nowadays more and more people keep pets in their houses: cats, dogs, parrots, hamsters, guinea pigs, and so on. They do it for a number of reasons. In the first place, people seek to make friends, and pets are a kind of friends they can make fast and easily. Besides, pets give positive emotions, that’s why people like to keep them. If you are under stress, you can just stroke your cat and feel somewhat relieved.

As to the most popular pets in big cities, I should say it depends. If you live in a big city, a cat or a small dog would be the best option. Firstly, they don’t need extensive space to live on. Secondly, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on buying pet food. If you live in the country, you can choose whatever you want. There is always plenty of room and food for any pet here.

Anyway, having pets is a big responsibility. Pets are animate objects, and if you don’t take good care of them, they may fall sick and even die.

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that pets play an important part in our life and we should be aware of both pluses and minuses of keeping them.

You are going to give a talk about the Internet. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why using the Internet is so popular;
· how the Internet can help students in their studies;
· whether the Internet can be dangerous, and why.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
To begin with, I’d like to say that we live in the world of modern technologies. We are surrounded by lots of sophisticated gadgets: smartphones, iPhones, notebooks, netbooks, laptops. They are very useful because they have practically unlimited functionality. But it is the connection to the Internet that makes them useful to the max.

Today the Internet is exceedingly popular and used very much, especially by teenagers. They do it for a number of reasons. Firsty, they create their profiles on different social nets such as vkontakte, odnoklassniki, facebook, instagram and others. Young people like communicating with each other, and the social nets give them this opportunity. Secondly, the Internet is a depot of innumerable information, so teenagers use the internet as a source of answers for various questions. So, the Internet helps students in their studies. Whether they need to make a report or prepare for a test, they launch a browser, type in the request and get lots of pages according to the request.

Besides, the Internet makes long-distance communication easier. There are special programs for communcation of this kind. One of them is Skype, which is sure to be the most popular programm. You can see and hear the person whom you are talking to.

Frankly speaking, the Internet is not as safe as you wish it were. Firstly, the spread of information is uncontrolled on the Internet, so teenagers often run into dangerous pages containing information about selling drugs or committing a suicide. I strongly believe that this information must be banned.

In conlcusion I’d like to say that if you follow the safety rules when using the Internet you are not endangered, and you can use the Internet to your advantage as much as possible.

· how your favourite public holiday is celebrated in your city, town or village.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, now I’m going to talk about holidays.

To begin with, holidays play an important part in our life. Holidays give us an opportunity to rest and relax, they also improve our mood and make us happier.

Our country has a number of (public) holidays. The most popular are New Year, the 8th of March (the women’s day), Spring and Labour Day, Victory Day, Russia Day, and others. All these holidays are very important for every citizen of the Russian Federation.

My favorite (public) holiday is New Year because this is a special occasion. It is not only an opportunity to relax but also to think about how you lived the past year and make plans for the next one. In addition to it, New Year is a reunion for the whole family of ours, so we always look forward to it.

My family established its own way of celebrating New Year. In the evening we visit our best friends who live next door and have some time together. Then, at midnight, we come back home and have our celebratory meal. We usually watch TV shows, listen to music, fool around, and, of course, give each other presents.

As for me, I like both giving presents and getting them. Both actions are very enjoying. But honestly speaking, I like getting presents more because now I don’t have enough money for giving them.

Staying at home with your family is not the only way to celebrate New Year. You can visit city celebrations which include fairs, contests, concerts, and fireworks. The culmination of the New Year celebration in our city is setting up fireworks. It is just awesome!

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasise the fact that every holiday is a great time, and I wish there were as many holidays as possible.

Монолог “Travelling”

You have to talk continuously.

You are going to give a talk about travelling. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why most people enjoy travelling;
· what people like doing while travelling;
· what place you would like to go to, and why.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Nowadays, people have a great variety to rest and relax: going to the cinema, playing sports, and so on. But the most popular option remains travelling.

People like travelling for a number of reasons. Firstly, travelling is a good way to focus away from work and study and, so to say, to recharge batteries. I mean people can replenish their inner supplies of energy and refresh emotions. Secondly, travelling is a good way to broaden the mind and gain knowledge. If you go to a foreign country, you can learn its customs and traditions, see the sights, make friends with local citizens.

While travelling, people like to do different things. It depends upon the place and purpose of your visit. If you travel to a resort town, you usually swim in the sea and bake in the sun. If you travel on business, you’re supposed to establish contacts, carry on talks, making contracts, and so on. If you travel for educational reasons, you attend lessons, go on excursions, gain knowledge and develop your skills.

In my opinion, summer is the best season for travelling. Most adults are on leave in this period and children have holidays, that’s why summer is the optimal time when you can start on a journey.

As to means of transport, each one has its pluses and minuses. If you travel by train, you can admire beautiful landscapes and you feel safe. But it takes more time to get to the destination. Travelling by plane saves time but deprives you the chance to enjoy the nature outside, and what is more, fills you with misgivings about the flight.

As to me, I have already travelled to many places, but my dream is to visit Tokyo. This is the place I would like to go to because it is one of the world leaders in business, culture, science and technology. Besides, I plan to learn Japanese in the future, so, visiting Japan can help me to do that.

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that travelling plays an important part in our life and everybody should travel as much as possible.

· what job you want to do in the future;
· what two subjects you think are the most important for your future job, and why;
· whether your family approve of your career choice or not.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
All people have to work in order to make a living. It is very important that a person has a job according to his or her abilities and wishes.

As for me, I’d like to be an interpreter in the future. I like foreign languages very much, and, frankly speaking, I’m very good at them. Nowadays, I do my best to learn English and Spanish because they are the languages that are widely spoken and popular with lots of people.

I think that English and Geography are the most important subjects for my future job. They are two subjects that help me learn much about other countries, their customs and traditions. English and Geography also help me understand native people of other countries, respect their culture and communicate with them in the most effective way.

All the members of my family approve my career choice because they strongly believe that interpreting is an exciting and well-paid job. Frankly speaking, my family just want me to be happy and they support any decision of mine.

In conclusion, I’d like to emphasize the fact that every teenager shouldn’t procrastinate in deciding about his or her job because a successful career requires much time and efforts.

Монолог “Books”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about books. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· whether reading is still popular with teenagers, and why, or why not;
· what kind of books you like reading;
· why many people prefer e-books to paper books.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about books.

To begin with, I’d like to say that there are a lot of ways to spend free time: doing sports, watching TV, going to the cinema, playing games, and so on. And, of course, you can just read a book.

Frankly speaking, reading books is losing its popularity with teenagers making way for more exciting activities, such as watching blockbusters in 3-D, playing computer games, social networking, arranging parties. If a teenager has to choose between reading a book and playing a brand new computer game, he or she will definitely show preference for the game. Modern games excel books in all aspects. Firstly, modern games make a tremendous visual impact. The game world looks extremely realistic. Secondly, when playing a game, you are not an outsider. You are an active insider participating in everything that happens in the game world.

As for me, I have to confess that I am not only a gamer, but also a regular reader. Yes, I like reading very much! Science fiction is my favourite kind of literature because it gives a different view of our reality. It doesn’t present our world as it is but as it could be. I think that science fiction is much deeper than, say, detective stories. The problems science fiction deals with are more global and serious.

If you take a closer look at reading people, you will notice that they usually read e-books. There is a number of reasons why many people prefer e-books to paper books. The main reason is that you can download unlimited e-books for free from the Internet. In addition to it, e-books are more comfortable to read. There is a variety of devices that can store e-books: computers, tablets, smartphones.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that modern world is full of exciting things like sports, TV, parties and so on. Nevertheless, books shouldn’t be forgotten.

Монолог “School homework”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about your school homework. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· how long it takes you to do your homework;
· what subject you usually start with, and why;
· whether schoolchildren should be given more or less homework, and why.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ

Well, I am going to give a talk about my school homework.

To begin with, I’d like to say that school homework is an essential part of school education. Almost everyone who goes to school is given hometasks.

As for me, duration of doing my homework depends on many factors. For example, our teachers of Literature and History are in the habit of giving a lot of homework, which involves reading many pages of textbooks, writing synopses, making presentations, and so on. If you are not ready with all this stuff, you get a bad mark. As I don’t want to get bad marks, I have to spend long hours to prepare for the lessons. It may take me 3 or even 4 hours to finish the school homework. But to tell the truth, there are teachers who spare pupils’ time and don’t give much work. They organize their lessons so that there is little left for home.

As to sequence of subjects, I usually start with Literature because this is the most voluminous subject including many works of fiction, critique, philosophy, and the like. I prefer to get rid of the most boring subject in the first place and then start doing something that is more interesting.

I strongly believe that schoolchildren should be given less homework. I don’t understand teachers who give their pupils too much homework and are sure that they do them good. Teachers should know that our brain can effectively process a limited amount of information. The rest of information vanishes into thin air. If you keep trying to remember everything you are given by teachers, you will most likely go crazy.

In conclusion, I’d like to appeal to teachers and make them remember their own school life. Teachers should never forget that they were pupils in the past and, like today’s young people, had difficulties with the homework.

Монолог “TV”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· whether watching TV is still a popular pastime with teenagers, and why, or why not;
· how many hours a week you watch TV;
· what you dislike most about TV.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about TV.

To begin with, I’d like to say that TV is one of the greatest inventions of all times. It is impossible to imagine days when people lived without TV.

In my opinion, watching TV is losing its popularity with teenagers. The reason is that teenagers prefer the Internet to TV. Not long ago, TV used to be the main source of information and entertainment. It is no longer the case. Now, if you want to know what is happening in the world, you launch a browser, do some clicks and get innumerable quantity of information. If you want to watch something entertaining, you don’t need TV. There are lots of youtube channels providing clips, shows, interviews with celebrities, and the like. You can start watching a video, pause it for any time and then start again. You can’t do the same trick with television.

As for me, I don’t watch TV very often. I usually do it when new episodes of my favourite serials appear. So, I watch TV approximately 3 of 4 hours a week. Sometimes it happens that there are no new episodes of my favourite serials, so I spend no time at all.

There are a lot of things I dislike about TV. But endless blocks of commercials drive me really crazy! It goes without saying that advertising gives money for producing new content, but there should be some limits to advertising.

In conclusion, I’d like to acknowledge great importance of television, but at the same time, I’d like to state the fact that TV gradually abandons its absolute position making way for the Internet.

Монолог “Free time”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about your free time. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· whether you have a lot of free time, and why, or why not;
· what you enjoy doing in your free time;
· what your Sunday afternoons are like.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about my free time.

To begin with, I’d like to say that people have to work more and more in the modern world to make a career, earn a living, and become successful. This also holds true for teenagers, because they have to study a lot. So, both adults and teenagers don’t have much free time.

As for me, I don’t have much free time either, because I am faced with a number of important exams this year. As I don’t want to fail them, I make every effort to learn the necessary material. I read a lot of textbooks and additional articles, do innumerable exercises, attend preparation courses, and so on.

In spite of the fact that I have to work a lot, I try to find some time for recreation and fun. Frankly speaking, I enjoy doing many things in my free time. I like to take walks, come to see my friends, watch TV, surf the Internet, and so on. My favourite pastime is going to a swimming pool. I am keen on having a healthy lifestyle, and swimming helps me to keep fit.

As to my Sunday afternoons, I should confess that they are just for doing nothing active. I usually take my tablet, sink into the sofa, and watch videos on youtube or communicate in social nets. Sunday afternoons are the period when I don’t overload myself with activities, because I need to collect my strength for Monday, which is my busiest weekday.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that it is very important to not only have free time but also give it to your hobbies and interests.

Монолог “Weather and seasons”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about weather and seasons. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· which of the four seasons you like most, and why;
· how the Earth’s climate has changed recently;
· whether you trust the weather forecast, and why.
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about weather and seasons.

To begin with, I’d like to say that there are four seasons in a year: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.

As for me, I like summer most of all, because this is the period when we have vacations. And vacations mean freedom. Absolutely! We have no need to get up early and be in a hurry to leave for school. It is not necessary to spend long hours doing school homework. The only thing we have to do in summer is relaxing to the max. In addition to it, the weather is awesome in summer! As a rule, it is warm and sunny.

By the way, the Earth’s climate has changed recently. If you take a closer look at what’s happening in the world, you see natural phenomena that never took place before. Melting arctic ice is one of numerous examples. It gradually fills the ocean with huge amounts of additional water that makes the water level higher and causes ecological disasters. In addition to it, mass media often give information about disastrous hurricanes and severe droughts that occur in unexpected time and place.

As to the weather forecast, I don’t trust it if it is given for the longer period of time. I don’t believe that man can predict what is going to be in a week or fortnight. Nevertheless, I think that the weather forecast for one or two days is most likely to be correct, and you should trust it.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that weather is an interesting subject, which is worth studying and paying attention to.

Монолог “Photography”

Задание
You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
· why people like taking pictures
· why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
· what the best photo you have ever taken is
You have to talk continuously.

Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about photography.

To begin with, I’d like to say that people have always wanted beautiful moments of life to last forever. Photography helps them to make it happen.

People like taking pictures for a number of reasons. As I have just mentioned, people want to save beautiful moments of life forever. For example, while visiting an exotic country, you see lots of things that don’t exist in your own area. You never see a coconut tree in Siberia and heaps of snow somewhere in the south. Why not to take a picture? In addition to it, people take pictures not only for fun but also for fixing details of an occurrence. It is often the case when pictures help to investigate a crime.

It is really a fact that taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past. The main reason is that taking photos has become much easier today. You just take a smartphone, do a click and that’s it. It has also become easier to share photos with friends. You can upload it
on your profile in a social net and let everyone see it.

As for me, I like taking photos very much. Frankly speaking, I have many good photos, but the best one was taken last year in the Altai Mountains. My friends and I effected an ascent of a mountain and took a picture on the very top of it. The picture is just awesome! When I look at it, I admire wonderful nature and remember my friends.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that taking pictures is a never-ending hobby, which will carry away more and more people.
