Различные пути в подготовке учащихся к написанию писем
(в формате ЕГЭ)
Часть 1 –написание личного письма
В последнее время многие учителя , используя различную методическую литературу,
ищут пути повышения эффективности обучения учащихся письму.
Если обратиться к формату ЕГЭ, то он включает два задания:
Написание письма личного характера (100-140 слов)
Написание эссе с элементами рассуждения (200-250 слов)
Сначала рассмотрим стратегии выполнения этой части экзамена.
Стратегии выполнения этой части экзамена
1. Внимательно прочитайте задание и выделите главные вопросы, о которых нужно
написать, определите формат письменного задания ( вид письма и тип сочинения)
2. Определите, кому адресовано письмо и выберите соответствующий стиль письма .
3. Составьте план письма / сочинения и подберите необходимые слова и выражения.
4. Пишите в соответствии с планом и помните о делении текста на абзацы.
5. Старайтесь использовать не только простые предложения, но и сложноподчинённые,
используя средства логической связи.
6. Старайтесь правильно употреблять временные формы глагола, используйте
разнообразные грамматические структуры.
7. Внимательно проверьте работу, обращая внимание на следующие моменты:
Соблюдается ли формат и стиль высказывания;
Логично ли текст делится на абзацы;
Правильно ли использованы средства связи внутри предложений, между
предложениями, между абзацами;
Проверьте правильность написания каждого слова
Для успешного выполнения этого задания, можно наметить различные пути:
1й путь- опора на модель. Модели хорошо представлены в современных УМК (как
отечественных, так и зарубежных авторов) в разделах Writing Help.
В качестве примера можно посмотреть Opportunities (Michael Harris and others), State
Exam , Maximiser ( Е.Н.Соловова, И.Е.Солокова), Practice Tests for the Russian State Exam
( Elena Klekovkina and others) и другие. Последние два источника, на мой взгляд, самые
удачные для подготовки к ЕГЭ.
путь- опора на клише. Клише разрабатываются самим учителем , опираясь на
собственный опыт или на опыт коллег.
2
путь- опора на предварительные упражнения, которые можно взять готовые из УМК
или составить самостоятельно. Какой путь лучше ? Моё мнение- использование всех
путей.
Что касается 1го пути,- использование модели, то я не буду останавливаться, так как
наши и зарубежные УМК изобилуют такими моделями. Я хочу начать с клише.

Dear Paul,
I'm sorry I haven't written for such a long time, but I've been really busy with my new job as a hotel receptionist.
Actually, that's what I'm writing to tell you about.
I'm working at a lovely hotel in the city centre. I started there two weeks ago. The job involves answering the phone,
making bookings and answering guests' questions - you know the sort of thing, I'm sure. I'm really enjoying it, actually.
All the people I work with are very nice and have been very helpful to me. The hotel manager has been especially kind.
There's also one woman who's become quite a good friend already. She's a waitress called Sandra, and we get on like a house
on fire!
Anyway, that's all my news for the moment, but I promise I'll write again soon. I hope you and your family are well.
Keep in touch!
Best wishes,
Amelia

Dear Vic,
Hi - how are you? What are you doing this New Year's Eve? Jean and I have decided to hold a party at home this year,
and we'd love it if you and Monica could come.
We're planning quite a small party with our old schoolfriends, so you'll know all of the guests. There'll be lots to eat and
drink, of course. We've decided to give the party a Mexican theme, and we thought that a variety of Mexican dishes
would be perfect, since all of our friends love spicy food. Jean's already started planning the menu, making decorations
and so on.
You'll probably be coming by train, won't you? Just give us a ring from the station when you arrive, and I'll come and
pick you up. I expect the party will go on quite late, so of course you will need to stay the night. Don't worry, though -
there's plenty of room for both of you.
Well, I really hope you can make it, Vic. Do try and come - it seems ages since we last saw you both! Please let me
know as soon as possible if you'll be able to join us.
Lots of love,
Mark
