Glass is a natural mineral. Natural glass is grey and hard to look through. Man-made glass was first produced in Egypt 5000 years ago. It was used for decorations because it had a green or blue colour. The secret of clear glass was found in Europe only in the 13th century. At the same time, craftsmen learned to produce lenses to look at small objects or to be used by people who had problems with their eyes. This is how the first glasses appeared. Glass dishes and mirrors became popular later with the rise of technology. In Russia, the first glass factory was built in Moscow region in 1654.

Electronic assistant: Why have you chosen english as an exam this year?

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about sports. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I want to talk about sports. Nowadays a lot of young people do sports because they want to be fit and look pretty good. It’s also very good for their health. Some young boys and girls take part in sport competitions, than they choose sport as a future profession. That’s why to go in for sport is very popular among young people nowadays.
In our school we have volleyball,football and basketball clubs, and also tennis. There is a gym in our school with modern equipment. Many students of our school attend the it when they have free time. I joined volleyball club two years ago. Very often I take part in competitions. I like it very much.
I think that doing sports is a very good idea for people of any age. To keep fit I attend our school volleyball club and go swimming. Swimming helps me to be in a good mood and to keep myself strong and slim. That’s all I wanted to say about sports.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about the seasons and weather. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes
(10-12 sentences).Remembertosay:
You have to talk continuously.
I would like to tell about weather and seasons. I live in Siberia, that’s why we have cold weather in winter. Winter comes in November and lasts till March. Spring is also not very warm. The best season in the region where I live is winter, I think, because I like skiing, making snowmen and skating.
So, I entirely agree with the proverb “There is no bad weather, there are only bad clothes”. We must wear warm clothes in our region and we won’t freeze, so we will be healthy. Our clothes should be comfortable and should be made of natural cloth.
When the weather is nasty and cold, I usually spend time at home with my family. I read books, watch TV or prepare food with my mum. Also we play table games together and after that drink tea with a pie. Sometimes, I go to the cinema with my friends or my family. Also we go to the shopping center in such cold weather. We buy something and go to the cafe. That’s all I wanted to say about weather and season.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remembertosay:
You have to talk continuously.
I am going to tell about pets. I think that people keep pets, because they love them very much or, may be, for a child. Sometimes people keep pets for breeding purebred animals. Pets are very cute and interesting. They are devoted to the master, especially dogs.
The most popular pets are cats, dogs, hamsters,fish, tortoises, guinea pigs, parrots, canaries. Some people keep unusual pets at home, for example, lizards, snakes or spiders.
Having pets is a big responsibility, I suppose. You need to take your pet to the vet. Also it is necessary to vaccinate your pet and to give him vitamins. The feed for the pet must be balanced, healthy and nutritious. A man must take care of his pet.
Most of all I like cats and dogs. It is fun to play with them. Dogs are real friends and it’s wonderful to have such a real devoted friend. Cats are so lazy, but help to relax after a busy day at work or study. That’s all I wanted to say about pets.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about your career plans. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences).
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.
I would like to tell you about my career plans. I have already made up my mind that my future profession will be connected with foreign languages. I want to be an interpreter. I need to learn more languages if I want to be a great professional in my career choice. I am dreaming of learning English, German and Spanish.
Also, I am sure that to become a good interpreter I need to know my native language very well, because my speech must be very literate and educated. So, I find it very important to learn English and Russian.
My family approves of my career choice. My father considers, that I will travel all over the world without any problems and I will be able to understand another people. My mother is a teacher of English. She likes her job and my choice brings her much happiness. My brother is sure, that my choice is right, because my profession is demanded and very interesting. That’s all I wanted to say about my career plans.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about your free time. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I am going to tell you about my free time. I don’t have a lot of free time every day, because I have been preparing for the exams since September. To pass my exams successfully I must study hard. After my classes at school I go home and spend many hours studying and learning new material.
When I have spare time, I like to go the cinema or to the cafe with my friends. Also I try to go for a walk. Fresh air is very useful for our health. I like to go shopping also. I prefer to spend my weekend with my family.
Sunday afternoon is usually happy, because my mum and I try to prepare something delicious for the dinner. We like lasagna, different pies, meat with vegetables and cakes. My family is very friendly and we like to spend time together talking,laughing and joking. My Sunday is very pleasant, calm and soulful. It helps us to start a new week with a good mood.
Sometimes I plan my free time with my family. For example, if we are going to go the country on the weekend. Also, we try to plan if we are invited to the party or to the friends’ house.That’s all I wanted to say about my free time.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about learning English. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences).
Remember to say:
· whether it is necessary to speak English nowadays, and why
· what you do to improve your English
· what other languages you would like to learn
You have to talk continuously.
I would like to tell you about learning English. I suppose, that it’s necessary to learn English nowadays. To speak English means to develop our mind, first of all. When a person learns by heart new words, word combinations and rules, he enriches his memory. It is very important for everyone to develop their mind. English is one of the most important languages in the modern world. If you go abroad with perfect knowledge of English you are sure to understand a foreigner. Moreover, you will have a chance to meet a new friend abroad. Nowadays, we can see so many interesting books in English. If you learn English, you can read them in the original. When we surf the net, we can see, that a lot of interesting and useful information is written in English. Our knowledge of English will help us to read and to understand it.
To improve my English I try to study hard. I attend extra English classes, I read a lot of books and watch films and programs in the original, I learn by heart new words and grammar rules, also I try to communicate with English native speakers. I have a very friendly and open minded pen-friend. It is a great pleasure to communicate with him.
I would like to learn French and Spanish. I think, that these languages are very beautiful and interesting. If I speak these languages I will be able to get acquainted with Frenchmen and Spaniards. In the future I am going to learn these languages and to travel all over the world. That’s all I wanted to say about learning English.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about the place where you live. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I am going to tell you about the place where I live. I live in Nizhnevartovsk. It is situated in the North of our big beautiful country. Nizhnevartovsk is famous for the largest Russian Samotlor oil field. The field is located at Lake Samotlor. There are a lot of oil and gas wells in the сountry. Our town is often called “The country of Samotlor”.
I have many favorite places in my town: the bank of the river and our Victory park. My family and I like to spend weekends visiting recreation centers, where we can ski, skate or sled. We have a good time there. Also I like to attend our Drama theater.
After leaving school I want to go to our state university. I am going to learn foreign languages there. I would like to stay in my town, because I feel comfortable in Nizhnevartovsk, it is my small homeland. When I go on holidays I miss my town and I am always glad to go back home. That’s all I wanted to say about the place where I live.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about the place where you live. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I am going to tell you about the place where I live. I live in Saint Petersburg, it is a port city on the Baltic Sea. Our city is the most beautiful city in our big country, I think. Saint Petersburg is situated on water, it consists of forty-four islands connected to each other with beautiful and famous bridges. These bridges can open at night. It helps ships to cross Saint Petersburg. Our city is famous for its magnificent architecture, museums, theaters, parks, cathedrals, churches, monuments, it’s history.
My favorite place in my city is Saint Isaac’s Cathedral. It is the biggest temple in Russia. From the top of the Isaac cathedral you can enjoy the wonderful view of the city.
After leaving school I am not going to move to another place, because our city is full of opportunities for study and job. It is my home, I love it and I am happy to walk on Nevsky Prospect and to visit our main sights. Saint Petersburg is the most beautiful city in the world, it is the dream of many people. It attracts people from many countries and stays in the heart of every visitor forever. That’s all I wanted to say about Saint Petersburg.
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 (10–12 sentences). Remembertosay:
You have to talk continuously.
Now I want to tell you about photography. Nowadays people like taking pictures. It is one of the best ways of expressing themselves, I think. Usually, people take pictures when they are happy and looks very bright. On some special occasions we also take pictures in order to remember such important or happy moments for us. Taking pictures is also hobby for many people. The amount of girls and boys who enroll in different photography courses increases every day.
In our modern world of social networks it is necessary to have excellent photos to download to our own pages. With the help of photography we show ourselves to another people. That’s why taking pictures is more popular today than it was in the past.
As for me, I have a lot of photos and I like to take photos. The best photo I have ever takes is the photo with my family during our summer holidays. We went to the seaside altogether and swam in the sea. My family and I liked to sunbathe and spend time talking and laughing. It was the best time of the year. That’s all I wanted to say about photography.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about keeping fit. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
· why a healthy lifestyle is popular nowadays;
· what you do to keep fit;
· what sports activities are popular with teenagers in your region;
· what your attitude to a healthy lifestyle is.
You have to talk continuously.
Now I want to give a talk about keeping fit. A healthy lifestyle is very popular and fashionable nowadays. A sporty and healthy body is the aim of modern youth. That’s why they attend the gym, eat healthy food and refuse from bad habits.
To keep fit I try to eat healthy food, to sleep 7-8 hours and to move. Physical activity is necessary for me, that’s why I go swimming three times a week and attend PE lessons at school. Sometimes I play volleyball with my friends.
In my region there are many popular sports activities with teenagers, such as hockey, skiing, skating, volleyball and football. Lots of competitions are held every year and our sportsmen win a victory.
I believe that healthy lifestyle creates our life. A healthy sporty person attracts other people’s attention. Such person is a successful person in many spheres of our life. That’s all I wanted to say about a healthy lifestyle.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about your best friend. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I am going to give a talk about my best friend. People need friends for many reasons. The most important is support, I suppose. When you are in trouble, you need to talk with someone who can understand you. This person won’t blame you and will try to help you with a peace of advice. Also fun plays a big role in our relationships with the best friend. When you are in a bad mood, your best friend will be able to cheer up you with pleasure and understanding.
My best girlfriend is Ulyana. We have known each other since our childhood. We got acquainted when we were five years old. Then we studied together in the same class.
Ulyana and I like to read books. Then we discuss problems which are raised in these books. Also we like to go to the swimming pool and to the cinema together. Very often I go shopping with her. After lessons we prefer to walk in the park and to breathe fresh air. We talk and laugh. We like to spend time with each other.
I think that friendship plays a big role in our life. To my mind to find a real friend you should be friendly, kind hearted, polite and cheerful. That’s all I wanted to say about my best friend.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about your school holidays. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
Now I want to tell you about my school holidays. We usually have holidays four times a year at school. Autumn holidays last a week, than winter holidays are longer — almost two weeks, spring holidays also last a week. Summer holidays are much longer than the others, they last three months.
I like my school life, but if I were a headmaster, I would make autumn and spring holidays longer. I suppose, that a week is too small for the rest. I would make them two weeks. We would have time to relax and to spend time with our family, relatives and friends.
During my school holidays I enjoy having rest at home. In summer my family and I go to the seaside. It’s the happiest time of the year. We like swimming and sunbathing. We prefer to visit new places, countries.
I find it so interesting to get knowledge about new unknown cultures. New cities and landscapes broaden our horizons. It’s so exiting. I like my school holidays. That’s all I wanted to say about my school holidays.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about school homework. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I want to give a talk about my school homework. To begin with, I strongly believe, that doing homework is an essential part of studying at school. There is no study without working at home. Usually it takes me four or five hours to do my homework.
I try to start with difficult subjects, such as Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Russian, English. I suppose that these subjects need more concentration, mental activity and time. That’s why they,re always done first of all. After that I do Literature, Geography, History or Biology. Than I study for my exams till the evening.
Luckily, I must say, we have different teachers. Some teachers don’t give us so much home tasks, because we manage to do almost everything during the lesson. Some teachers give us a lot of homework. I don’t prefer to get bad marks, that’s why I try to do everything. But it would be better if our teachers gave us less homework. We could have a rest and attend some extra interesting classes. In conclusion, I want to say that education makes us stronger and more literate and I am going to get good education in the future.That’s all I wanted to say about school homework.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about holidays. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences).
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.
I want to tell you about holidays which are celebrated in our country. We have a lot of holidays in Russia: New Year’s Day, Christmas, Defender of the Fatherland Day, International Women’s Day, Spring and Labour Day, Victory Day, Russia Day and Unity Day. These holidays are very popular among people in our country and they celebrate them in different ways.
My favorite holiday is New Year’s Day. I like this holiday so much. The weather is usually cold and there is a lot of snow everywhere. I have winter holidays. New Year’s Day is considered to be a family holiday, we prefer to celebrate it at home. We begin preparations in advance. My parents and I decorate our house. We decorate a New Year’s tree with beautiful toys, lights and sweets. Also we prepare tasty and delicious food with my mom and dad. At 12 o’clock we meet Nee Year and wish each other health, wealth and happiness.
I like both to give and to get presents. It’s so pleasant to give handmade presents to my relatives. They always like them. To get presents from my father and mother is a real pleasure for me. They always know what I am dreaming about. I love my family. That’s all I wanted to say about holidays in Russia.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about school life. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I want to tell you about my school life. My typical school day lasts seven or eight hours. It begins at nine o’clock in the morning. I usually have six or seven classes a day. Moreover, four times a week I have extra classes. I have Russian, Maths, English and Biology.
My favorite subject is English, of course. To speak English fluently is my main aim. I will be able to communicate with native speakers, to travel around the world and to see new countries if I learn English perfectly. My school is very big and beautiful. I like to attend my school. I like my school life because I like my classmates, my friends and my teachers. It is a pleasure to spend so much time among them. I find them friendly, open minded, clever, educated and kind. School life is an important part of every person’s life. We learn to be in society, to communicate with people of different ages. It prepares us for our adulthood. My school is very important for me for it’s knowledge that I get there every day from my teachers and books. That’s all I wanted to say about my school.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about the Internet. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
Now I want to tell you about the internet. Nowadays teenagers can’t imagine their lives without the internet. First of all, we can stay in touch with our friends, relatives and colleagues. Also, the internet always helps us to find any information we need and like. We are lucky to find lots of internet sites with useful information about everything: science, history, psychology, sports, beauty, fashion, cooking and music. Moreover we can download movies, music and also it is interesting to play games on-line. The internet makes long-distance communication easier with the help of chatting on-line. It makes no difference how far we are from each other.
But in spite of this teenagers can face a lot of dangers. The main danger is our health: vision and posture. Less of movements can lead to the obesity. The next danger is the internet-addiction, when teenagers can’t take away their gadgets, because they wait for a message from someone or just want look for something interesting. Also viewing inappropriate content is a danger. I think that parents must control this point. And ,of course , chatting with strangers is a big problem in the net nowadays. Teenagers can be deceived by criminals. I think, that the internet is very useful for us, but anyway, we must be reasonable users of the net and in this case the internet will be our assistant. That’s all I wanted to say about the internet.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about films. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
· what kinds of films modern teenagers enjoy;
· where you prefer watching films: on TV, on the Internet or in the cinema, and why;
· what film you have seen recently, what it was about;
· what your attitude to watching films as a way to spend your free time is.
You have to talk continuously.
Now I want to give you a small talk about films. Modern teenagers enjoy different kinds of films. We have different opportunities to watch any film we like. The internet helps us with it and we can download or watch any film online. I find it very comfortable.
I like to watch new films in the cinema. I like to meet with my friends and to enjoy watching a new film. My favorite films I like to watch at home on TV or on the internet. I’ve seen the film from the Harry Potter series recently, it is called “Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows”. It is a fantasy. This film is about the war between wizards. I find this chapter serious, cold, sometimes sad and fantastic. The winner of this war is Harry Potter, of course, I am proud of him. As for me, I suppose, that watching films is a very interesting way to spend my free time. I like to know new actors and interesting breathtaking plots. That’s all I wanted to say about films.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I am going to tell you about television. I find it really important in our everyday life. Looking at my father, who can’t live without the news on TV, I always understand, that the internet won’t displace the television. A lot of people spend really much time watching TV programs, shows and films. They do it to relax after the working day, to know new interesting information about something and, of course, they want to know what is happening in the world at the present moment. It’s so important, I suppose.
Teenagers are young and modern, so they prefer browsing the internet using their different gadgets. They don’t like to wait, it is much easier to download films and to watch them any time they can and like. Also, if they aren’t at home, they can watch any program or film online using the internet. It’s so comfortable.
As for me, I like to watch educational TV programs in English, because I am going to be an interpreter in the future. But to tell you the truth, I like to watch cartoons on TV with my little brother. It’s so funny and relaxing. That’s all I wanted to say about television.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about animals. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
Let me give a talk about animals. In my region live about sixty wild animals, sixteen of them considered to be hunters. Deers, moose, martens,boars, arctic foxes, sables, hares, otters, weasel animals, foxes, squirrels, stoats, brown bears and many other animals live in Siberia. Some animals are included in the Red book, such as wolverines, minks and also river beavers. The biggest and the most dangerous is the brown bear. It is thought to be the master of the taiga.
Everybody knows that people build zoos. Animals are kept in the zoos to show children and adults how different kinds of animals look and behave. It is interesting. Very often people meet sick wild animals in the wood and then they live in the zoo, because recovered animals have poor health and won’t be able to live among the other wild strong animals. They are kept in the zoo to stay alive. I don’t think that to keep a wild animal as a pet is a good idea. It is dangerous and not so humanely. Wild animals should live in the wild nature, because only there they will be able to live in the freedom. That’s all I wanted to say about animals.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about travelling. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:
You have to talk continuously.
I would like to tell about travelling. Lots of people like to travel, because it’s interesting, it develops our mind and imagination. It so exciting to see new places, to meet new people and to make new friends all over the world.
In my opinion, there is no best season for travelling. There are many interesting places to see with different climate in our planet. And I think that any weather is good in its own way. When it is cold in my region, it is hot in another country.
I consider that it is wonderful to travel by plane or by train. If the distance between destinations is big, it is better to choose a plane, cause it is fast and comfortable. If the distance isn’t too big, I prefer to travel by train. I like to see new towns and different nature during my trip.
As for me, I like to travel very much. I choose the places where there is the sea. There is no sea in our region that’s why I prefer warm countries for the rest. Also I like to visit big cities — capitals of different countries, because they always attract traveller’s attention by their novelty, beauty and power. That’s all I wanted to say about travelling.
Task 3. You are going to give a talk about holidays. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences).
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.
I am going to tell you about holidays which are the most popular in my country. We have a lot of holidays in Russia: New Year, Christmas, Defender of the Fatherland Day, International Women’s Day, Spring and Labour Day, Victory Day, Russia Day and Unity Day. These holidays are very famous among people in my country and they celebrate them in different ways.
My favorite holiday is my birthday. I was born on the 22nd of May. It’s spring and the weather is usually wonderful. I like this holiday so much, because it’s my day when my parents, friends and relatives come to our house and congratulate me. My parents and I always prepare so much tasty food: meat with potatoes, salads and, of course, a very tasty cake. We dance, sing songs, play different games and laugh, joke and tell funny stories during my birthday party.
I always get many presents, I like to get them. Most of all I like to get flowers. They are so beautiful. But I must say, that I also like to give presents. It is always so pleasant to give someone happiness and joy. That’s all I wanted to say about holidays.
