Вы с зарубежным другом, который гостит в вашем городе, планируете, что будете делать в
выходные. Спросите, когда он/она свободен/свободна, обсудите, чем вам заняться, почему именно
этим.
S: Hello, .....! Is everything OK?
T: Hi, .....! I’m fine, thank you.
S: You seem very busy. You’re going somewhere, aren’t you?
T: You are right. I have an invitation to Tanya’s birthday party today.
S: I’m sorry, I’m not on time.
T: Of course, you are! I’m always glad to see you.
S: Have you got any plans for the week-end?
T: Why, I’m free on Sunday. Do you have anything to suggest?
S: How about going on an excursion?
T: It’s great! Where shall we go?
S: Well, it depends on your interests. Would you like to go to Moscow?
T: Thank you very much, but I’ve been to Moscow twice, and besides, it’s too tiring to wander about a large
city in such hot weather.
S: OK. Then, let’s go on a trip along the Volga.
T: I like this idea, but won’t it be too boring to spend the whole day on board a ship?
S: Not at all. You will be watching picturesque scenery passing by and there will be stops in some ancient
Russian towns.
T: Oh, it’s marvellous! I like the idea greatly! Do you know exactly what sights to see there?
S: Don’t worry. There will be a guide to accompany us on the trip. By the way, the excursion will be in English.
T: Good. I think it will be a great experience.
©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 2
S: I’m sure, it will. I’m rushing to book the excursion. Bye for now.
T: Thank you. Bye-bye.
Билет 3 Going on an Excursion
Вы с зарубежным другом, который гостит в вашем городе, собираетесь поехать на экскурсию.
Обсудите с другом, куда и когда лучше всего пойти; кого с собой пригласить. Примите совместное
решение.
S: Hello, ..... So, you’ve been enjoying your time in Russia, haven’t you?
T: Very much. These are fantastic holidays.
S: I’m sure you’ve done a lot of sightseeing since you arrived here at Dubna. What are your plans for
tomorrow?
T: Well. I’m free tomorrow. Why?
S: I’d like to go on an excursion to Moscow. Would you like to go with me?
T: I’d love to. Where shall we go?
S: You know, Russia is visited by millions of tourists every year. There are lots of attractions in our country,
but first of all the foreigners come to Moscow to see the Kremlin. Here you can admire ancient cathedrals and
churches. Would you like to visit the Armoury? And I can also book tickets to the Diamond Exhibition.
T: Great! And where shall we go after the Kremlin?
S: Let’s go to Red Square, which is the heart of Moscow. There are a lot of interesting places there. The most
beautiful, from my point of view, is St. Basil’s Cathedral. In front of it there is a monument to Minin and
Pozharsky. And if you go down Tverskaya Street, you’ll see a monument to Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, the
founder of Moscow, and a monument to Alexander pushkin, a famous Russian poet.
T: Fine. What else is worth visiting?
S: Well, if you are interested in arts, we can go to the State Tretyakov Gallery, where you can see the works by
Russian artists or to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, where there is a huge collection of pictures and
sculptures by Western masters.
T: That sounds interesting.
S: You can invite Laura to go with us. I know she is keen on Russian history and art.
T: Right you are.
S: Well, Moscow is a very large city and it will take long to see it. Let’s start doing it tomorrow. What time
shall I pick you up? Does 9 a.m. suit you?
T: Yes, 9 o’clock is fine.
S: See you then.
T: OK. Thank you very much for your invitation.
Билет 4 Writing an Article
Вы должны написать статью о защите окружающей среды в школьный журнал, который издается
на иностранном языке. Обсудите с редактором, какие проблемы следует осветить, как назвать
статью, к какому сроку ее сдать.
S: Hello, I am to write an article on environmental problems for our school English Magazine, aren’t I?
T: Yes, you are.
S: Well, I’d like to discuss some questions with you.
T: Of course, I’ll answer all your questions.
S: What shall I write about? There are a lot of environmental problems to be concerned about: air and water
pollution, global warming, endangered animals, and others. Which of them should I write about?
T: It’s up to you. You may write about the problem which you are most interested in, or which you think is the
most urgent.
S: All of them are urgent, and all of them are interesting to me. For example, I can start with the litter that is left
everywhere by everybody.
T: Fine. What exactly will you write about?
S: I think there is so much litter because of lack of education. Lots of people just don’t know that it’s wrong to
drop litter. What is more, the streets are dirty and unpleasant. Moreover, if litter is left too long people can even
catch diseases from it.
©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 3
T: It sounds interesting. Isn’t water pollution a serious problem too?
S: Of course, it is. I know that factories dump waste into rivers and seas, so the water there becomes poisonous.
As a result, people can suffer from stomach problems if they drink polluted water. Do you think that air
pollution is a really serious problem? Factories and cars pollute the air we breathe. In large cities the
concentration of harmful substances in the air is rather high, it’s really bad for people and it can cause
disastrous consequences for their health.
T: This question should be touched in the article as well. And another important question is the protection of
endangered animals.
S: You are quite right. Now I understand what I should write about. To my mind I should also add some
solutions to these problems to make our planet better and safer place to live on.
T: Quite right. It's not too late to solve them.
S: What about the title of the article? Do you think “Our Planet Is in Danger” will be O.K?
T: Yes, that’ll do.
S: And when exactly do I have to hand this article in?
T: Will next week be all right for you?
S: OK, I’ll do it. Thank you. Goodbye.
T: OK. See you.
Билет 5 Getting a Grant
Ваш класс выиграл конкурс, и вам дали грант. Объясните иностранному журналисту, от кого вы
получили грант, за что и что вы планируете купить на полученные деньги для школы.
S: Good afternoon and welcome to our school, ......... We are ready to answer your questions.
T: Thank you. If I’m not mistaken, your class has won a grant. Am I right?
S: Right you are. There is a program of the Russian government called the National Priority Projects. One of
the projects focuses on education. There are competitions held within the National Project 'Education'.
Our school took part in the competition as an innovative school in our district and won 1 million rubles.
T: Why was the grant given to your class?
S: The pupils of our class took part in the contest ‘Teenagers of the 21
st
century’.
T: What kind of contest was it?
S: We took part in sports competitions, in art, information technology and speech-writing contests. So, we can
say it was an all-round competition.
T: How many pupils took part in the contest?
S: I don’t know exactly. A lot of schools competed against each other for the grant. Each of the contestants had
to answer questions on the variety of subjects. Our class team won most of the competitions, and we were
awarded the grant.
T: My congratulations! What are the pupils of your class going to spend the money on?
S: You see, our class team has won the grant, but we all think that it belongs to the whole school, not only to
the pupils of our class. This matter was discussed by the teachers and pupils of our school. We`d like to have
modern sports facilities and equipment at our school. We love doing sport.
T: Thank you very much for the interview.
S: You’re welcome. It was a pleasure to speak to you, ....... Goodbye.
T: Goodbye.
Билет 6 A trip to the UK
Ваш друг вернулся из поездки в страну изучаемого языка. Расспросите его о поездке: где он был,
что произвело на него наибольшее впечатление и почему.
S: Hello, ......? What a nice surprise! It`s great to see you!
T: Hi, ......! I haven’t seen you for ages. Where have you been?
S: I’ve just come back from Britain.
T: Have you? How did you like it there?
S: I enjoyed it greatly! I can’t say I’ve seen a lot, but I liked the places I visited: London, Stratford-upon-Avon,
Windsor and Oxford.
T: How long did you stay there?
©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 4
S: For a week. I wouldn’t mind staying there longer. You know, you need lots of time to see all British
landmarks.
T: Sure. You visited Stratford, Windsor, Oxford and London within a week! How did you manage?
S: Stratford and Oxford are small towns; it took me a day to go sightseeing there. Another day for Windsor – all
the other time I went sightseeing in London. And I can’t say I was able to see much of London. So, I have an
excuse to come back there some day.
T: You are right. What impressed you most?
S: The Tower of London. I’ve read a lot about it beforehand, so I have already known that it was built by
William the Conqueror. Once it was a fortress, then a royal palace, a zoo and even a prison for the nobles. Now
it’s a museum guarded by the famous “Beefeaters”. And that legend about the ravens living in the Tower… Do
you know it? The legend says that without ravens the Tower and the British monarchy will fall. That’s why
their wings are cut back and they are carefully guarded. It has always been my dream to visit the Tower and to
see everything with my own eyes. And now my dream has come true!
T: And what about the weather?
S: About the weather? Unfortunately, when I was in London, it rained the whole time, but it didn’t prevent me
from enjoying the sights. I liked everything I saw there. Have you ever been there? If not, I definitely advise
you to take the first plane to London and have the time of your life!
T: Thanks a lot. I will.
S: Well, ......., I’m afraid, I have to go. Goodbye.
T: Goodbye.

S: Thanks a lot. Where is the nearest bus stop?
T: Turn to the right and keep straight on until you come to the traffic lights.
S: I see. I turn to the right and go straight ahead as far as the traffic lights. How long does it take to get there?

выбрать, как подготовиться к докладу, узнайте, сколько времени на него отводится.
S: Excuse me, Mrs ...... Can you help me?
T: Yes, ...... What can I do for you?
S: I am to give a talk about an English-speaking country. Could you advise me what country to choose?
T: You can talk about Australia. We haven`t spoken about this country at the lessons yet.
S: Great! I think I can find a lot of interesting information on the Internet. Do you know any Australian sites?
T: Certainly. Wait, I’ll write down one of them. Here you are.
S: Thank you. I also have “A Glimpse of English-Speaking Countries” – a very good book indeed. What
topics should I cover? It would take too much time to speak about the country in detail. Oh! I know. At first, I’ll
speak about the geographical position of the country, its climate and population. I will speak about unusual
Australian nature. I have a CD-ROM with the Australian sights; I’ll be showing them during the talk.
T: That’s great!
S: Then I’ll say some words about Australian’s industry and the main industrial cities: Sydney and Melbourne,
and of course about the capital of Australia – Canberra. Speaking about Canberra, should I describe its
sightseeing in detail?
T: It’s up to you.
S: Then I'll prepare a short fact file including the most fascinating features. How long shall I speak?
T: Is 15 minutes enough? Three other students are going to give talks too.
S: There's no need to worry. Thanks a lot for your help.
T: Very good, ...... I believe it’ll be really interesting.
Билет 10 A Friend’s Phone Call
Вам позвонил зарубежный друг. Он хочет, чтобы вы его встретили в аэропорту. Спросите, когда и
каким рейсом он прилетает, где хотел бы побывать и что увидеть в вашем городе.

©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 6
T: For a week.
S: I’m asking you about it because you didn’t see much of Moscow last time. Now I’d like to arrange
everything for your visit beforehand: to buy theatre tickets, to find out about new exhibitions and so on. What
would you like to see this time?
T: Oh! I really don’t know. I’ll gladly leave it to you.
S: Fine. I’ll take you round the city and show you the most remarkable sights there. Take care and have a good
trip. I’m looking forward to seeing you.
T: So am I. Bye-bye. See you in Moscow soon.
S: Bye.
Билет 11 Doing Sports
Вы в гостях у своего зарубежного друга. Вместе с ним вы хотите записаться в спортивную секцию.
Обсудите, каким видом спорта заняться и почему, согласуйте с ним, по каким дням вы будете
заниматься спортом.
S: Hey, ……. Is there any possibility to go in for sport here?
T: Of course! Would you like to go in for some sport?
S: Well, as I’m here for some time, I’d like to. As for me, I think everybody should go in for sport to be strong
and healthy. What do you think about it?
T: I think it’s a good idea. I myself like going in for sport.
S: Could we do it together?
T: I think we could.
S: What sport do you prefer?
T: I like team sports, such as football or baseball. Would you like to play them?
I know how to help you.
S: I’m not sure about baseball we don’t play it in Russia. But look here, let’s join a tennis club. To my mind,
tennis can help us to keep fit and to stay healthy. I have been playing tennis for 5 years and I hardly ever catch a
cold and I never suffer from any serious illness. Can you play tennis?
T: I like this sport very much but I can’t play tennis well. I’d really like to learn.
S: Great! We’ll be playing together. How often shall we go to the club?
T: Twice a week, I think. On Mondays and Fridays, do you agree?
S: Of course, I do. Monday and Friday are suitable for me. I’m very busy all the other days. I can’t wait to get
started. Till Friday, bye.
T: Bye.
Билет 12 Learning Foreign Languages
Вы хотите пойти на курсы иностранного языка. Ваш друг считает, что не нужно учить иностранные
языки, так как это требует много времени и усилий, в то время как всегда можно прибегнуть к
услугам переводчика. Вы с ним не согласны. Приведите не менее двух причин, почему необходимо
изучать ин. языки.
S: Hello, glad to see you, but I’m in a hurry.
T: Hi, where are you running?
S: You know, I’ve decided to take Summer English Course.
T: What? You are kidding! The holidays have begun, it’s time to rest and have fun and you’re going to continue
studies. You are crazy! It’s a waste of time.
S: I don’t agree with you. First of all, I’m interested in learning foreign languages and I’d like to speak English
fluently. Moreover, nowadays every educated person should know at least one foreign language to be a success.
T: What can be interesting in learning all these grammar rules, words and reading texts?
S: Tastes differ. Of course, here in Russia you speak Russian, but what if you go abroad?
T: In each country you can find an interpreter if necessary…
S: I take you point but it’s more interesting for me to learn about everything by myself. I don’t like being
dependent on anybody. What is more, learning foreign languages helps to broaden my mind – I can better
understand the people and the culture of English-speaking countries.
T: And why English? There are a lot of other languages. As for me, I like French better.
©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 7
S: Why don’t you understand? English is the main language of international communication nowadays. The
other reason why people in Russia study English is that it is widely used in computers and other electric
devices. In addition, most young people hope to find an interesting and well-paid job in future, it will be easier
to do it if you know English.
T: You may be right but it takes so much time! You have classes, do homework – it’s so boring!
S: It` s so interesting! You meet new people, read books, watch films in class. It` s great! Our teacher is an
Englishman and they use modern methods of teaching at the courses. It’s called diving. Students watch a lot of
films, sing songs and the main thing is that they speak only English at the lessons.
T: Mm… You speak so excitingly that I begin to think about following your example.
S: Well, if you decide to enroll the courses, just ring me up and I’ll give you the number and you’ll see which
of us is right.
T: Thank you, bye.
Билет 13 An Interview with a Foreign Singer
Возьмите интервью у популярного зарубежного певца. Расспросите его, когда он начал свою карьеру,
почему он выбрал этот вид искусства, каковы его планы на будущее.
S: Hello, everybody! Madonna is in our today’s programme, and it’s about music and musicians. Good
morning, Madonna. Your fans want to know all about you and your life. Can you tell us about your attitudes
towards music and when did you get into it?
T: I’ve always loved music. I think I really got into it when I was a child. My mother used to listen to music all
days long. She especially loved The Beatles, and I knew all their songs.
S: When did you realise that you were going to do it professionally?
T: When I understood that people enjoy my songs and my singing.
S: How many discs have you recorded so far?
T: About twenty, I think.
S: I’ve heard now you’re working on a project with some musicians in New York. Could you say a few words
about it?
T: We are doing two recordings of my new songs.
S: When are you planning to finish the project?
T: By the end of the month, I suppose, and then we are going to start touring.
S: What countries are you going to visit?
T: This time we’re going to Japan.
S: Your life is very interesting! You travel all over the world; you meet and play with famous musicians!
You’ve got a lot of fans. Aren’t you annoyed being followed by fans everywhere?
T: Of course, it’s a bit annoying, but it’s another side of a star’s life to be in a public eye. I’ve got used to it.
S: Your fan-club web site is one of the most visited web sites on the Internet. Do you like reading e-mail from
your fans?
T: Oh, yes, I adore it. Interaction with my fans helps me develop professionally and be a success.
S: Thank you for coming into the studio to talk to us, Madonna. I hope you’ll come again. Now let’s listen to
your well-known song “One More Chance”. Goodbye.
T: Goodbye.
Билет 14 Ambitions
Обсудите с вашим зарубежным другом, что нужно сделать, чтобы быть успешным в жизни:
иметь талант, закончить вуз, успешно жениться/выйти замуж или что-то еще? Приведите не менее
двух причин, почему вы так думаете. Спросите, согласен ли ваш друг с вашим мнением.
S : ….., do you sometimes think how to be successful in life?
T: Yeas, I do. And you?
S: Me too. This year I’m finishing the 9
th
form and I’m thinking about the future. I want to be successful, but,
frankly speaking, I don’t know for sure what I should do for that. Some of my girl-friends think that the only
thing to do is to marry a prosperous man who earns lots of money and all the problems will be solved. I don’t
agree. To my mind, it is important to have a talent and to develop it.
T: Why do you think so?
©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 8
S: You see, many famous people I read about began their careers doing something they liked. They worked
hard and polished their talent and were rewarded.
T: Do you think that only famous people are successful in life?
S: No, nothing of the kind. I think a happy person is always a success. Besides, I’m sure education is a key to
any success! As you know, one of the most popular proverbs says: “Knowledge is Power”. After finishing
school I want to enter university. I hope higher education will help me to get a well-paid and prestigious job in
future. I’ll get a good education and make a brilliant career! I’d like to be an independent career woman! I can
become a TV presenter or a famous journalist.
T: Stop daydreaming!
S: You’re so boring, ….! Are you against a good education?
T: I’m certainly not. It’s very good that you have ambitions; but first of all you must be patient and
hardworking if you want to achieve anything.
S: Yes, that`s to the point. Perhaps the best way to prepare for any job is to get a good education at school,
that’s why I do my best to pass my exams well and then we’ll see. And one more thing: it is important to come
to the right place in the right time. Luck can help too, but if you don’t have any talent or experience, you will
never succeed.
T: I see what you mean.
Билет 15 Healthy Eating
Ваш зарубежный друг часто ходит в Макдональдс. Объясните ему, что это не очень полезно для
здоровья, приведите не менее двух причин. Дайте совет, как правильно питаться, чтобы быть
здоровым.
S: Oh, ……, are you eating hamburgers for lunch again?
T: Yeah. I love these things. I can't get enough of them.
S: But they're so bad for you. Nowadays people have less time for eating as well as for cooking. That’s why
junk food is so popular. If I’m not mistaken, you are fond of eating at McDonald’s, aren’t you?
T: Why? I often go to McDonalds. The food is delicious there.
S: If I were you I wouldn’t go there so often. You like the taste of McDonald’s food, but do you know that it`s
junk food? Do you know what exactly junk food is?
T: So-so.
S: Junk food is high in fat which can cause heart diseases or cancer. Hamburgers, crisps, chocolate, hot dogs,
pizzas contain a lot of fat. Apart from the risk of cancer, another side affect of eating junk food is that you can
gain weight. What did you have for breakfast today?
T: A couple of sandwiches with cheese and a cup of coffee.
S: Sandwiches? It's a miracle you're still as thin as you are. If you want to be healthy you need vitamins and
fibre. You should eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, diary products… Do you eat fruit and vegetables?
T: Yes, of course. Everybody likes fruit but I feel hungry if I don t eat a couple of hamburgers.
S: It’s because the food at McDonald’s is very addictive, I’ve read about it. One more thing, they always offer
some French fries and Coke, but health specialists say that we shouldn’t eat potatoes too often, and when we eat
them you should bake them, not fry. As for the Coke it’s ruinous for our stomach. What is more, at McDonald’s
they serve very few vegetables and lots of white bread which also makes people fat!
T: Oh, my goodness. You frighten me!
S: I don’t. I only say that you should try to eat healthy food full of vitamins. When you get up tomorrow, eat
cereal with milk or cornflakes, some toast with butter or jam and juice. Buy yogurt and an apple for a snack,
and you’ll be fine. It’s just what we call healthy eating.
T: I can`t say, it’s my favourite food but I’ll try. Thank you.
S: You are welcome.
Билет 16 Computers: For and Against
Ваш зарубежный друг считает, что компьютер вреден для здоровья. Вы с ним не согласны.
Докажите, что он ошибается. Приведите не менее двух причин в пользу использования компьютера.
S: Hey, …., how often do use computer?
T: Frankly speaking, I don’t use it very often – sometimes I type an essay. And what about you?
©Compiled by Tatiana Lepeshkina Страница 9
S: You see, I’m going to become a computer programmer, that’s why I spend much time in front of the
computer.
T: Don’t you think it is bad to spend so much time in front of the computer?
S: I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. What is bad in using a computer?
T: I think it is harmful for your eyesight.
S: I don’t think so. Yes, I know that there are people who spend 12 hours or more looking at a screen and doing
nothing else. But it’s not about me. I use the computer sensibly (разумно). I don’t like to play computer games,
I prefer creating computer projects. Besides, I don’t work at it for hours, not more than 2 hours a day.
Moreover, don’t you think that in our multi-media society it’s simply impossible to live without computers or
the Internet?
T: No, I don`t have an access to the Internet.
S: I use it every day! I read the news on the Internet, chat with my friends. To my mind, with the help of the
Internet we can understand science, medicine and arts better. In this global network you can find any
information in a few minutes. It keeps people informed about current events, the latest achievements in science
and culture.
T: Right, right. You say you like chatting with your friends, don’t you think it’s boring “to chat” with
somebody by typing messages?
S: Come on! I’m sure you know you can do “voice chats” if you have a microphone. By the way, you are
interested in foreign languages. You can chat with people from France, Japan, Argentina…. It’s not expensive,
it’s like using a telephone but much cheaper.
T: Oh, that sounds like a good way to practice foreign languages.
S: Yes, besides on the Internet there are various kinds of material for students: texts, exercises; you can
download video- films and radio- programmes in foreign languages. You say you sometimes type essays. I
know a lot of interesting sites where you can find a lot of information on different subjects, unusual facts, the
latest data, and pictures for your presentations. I don`t know how you can do without a computer in your
everyday life.
T: Mm… You may be right; computers have become part of peoples` life. But I’m afraid a computer is bad for
our health.
S: I can’t agree with you. I’m sure a computer is one of the wonders of modern world simply we should learn to
use it effectively and safely for your health. You must know where to stop, and everything will be OK.
Билет 17 A City Day
Вы собираетесь в школе подготовить вечер, посвященный дню города, в котором примут участие
ваши зарубежные гости. Посоветуйтесь с учителем, как и когда можно организовать вечер.
S: Good afternoon, …….!
T: Good afternoon, …...
S: We are planning to prepare a party dedicated to the City Day. We want our foreign friends from our twin-
city La Cross to take part in it. I`ve come to discuss some points. Can you help me?
T: Yes, certainly.
S: We are not sure about the date. What day is the best for such an event?
T: I think it will be good if you do it in two weeks on Saturday. What`s on the programme?
S: We can begin with some history, I believe. Do you know that our city was founded in 1956? This year the
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research was created. I think we’ll tell our foreign guests about it. By the way, one
more interesting fact: the one hundred and fifth (105
th
) element of Mendeleev Periodical System is called
“Dubnium” in honour of our city. The boys have taken a lot of pictures of our city, and they are going to make
a power point presentation to illustrate the story.
T: I think it’s a good idea.
S: Can we ask our foreign guests to speak after it?
T: Oh, it’ll be good. Do you remember our guests are from the USA?
S: We do. We are going to speak English. And then the photo quiz. We are sure it will be very interesting! Oh!
Then we could organize a concert. I know the girls know a lot of Russian and foreign songs and they sing
nicely to the guitar.. Our guests might sing with us some popular American songs. We’d like to have a
discotheque after all this. Can we?

T: Yes, if you promise to clean the classroom after all. Last time it was in a mess.
S: We promise everything will be OK! Could we serve some tea and cakes at the end?
T: I’m not against it.
S: That’s fine. Thank you. I’ll tell all the rest about everything and we’ll start the preparations.
Билет 18 October Weather in Britain
Вы собираетесь поехать в страну изучаемого языка на неделю в октябре. Узнайте у своего
западного друга, какая погода в октябре, часто ли она меняется и что лучше брать с собой из вещей.
S: Hello, …. How are you?
T: Fine, and you?
S: Fine, thank you. You know I’m going to England this October. Isn’t it great?
T: I think it is!
S: Will you be so kind to tell me some words about the weather there at this period of time? Is it stable or
changeable?
T: Well, the English weather is never stable. It can be cool in the morning, a shower during the day and cloudy
in the evening with a warm starry night.
S: What about the temperature? Is it going to be above or below zero Centigrade?
T: I don’t think it will be cold, somewhere about 10-15 degrees above zero Centigrade.
S: That’s fine. Does it often rain in autumn?
T: Yes, it does.
S: So I believe the English are right when they say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the
morning, when it rains in the afternoon and when it rains all day long. Does it mean that I should take an
umbrella and a rain coat or a waterproof jacket with me?
T: It’s better to take all you’ve mentioned.
S: What clothes would you advise me to take? Shall I have a couple of sweaters with me?
T: I believe two will be enough. You’d better take several tops for all occasions.
S: That’s a good idea. I’ll be able to wear something for a change. What about footwear?
T: I think sneakers would do perfectly.
S: Right you are, they are warm enough and are good in any situation. And I’ll take a pair of nice shoes for a
formal occasion.
T: It’s up to you.
S: Thank you very much. You’ve been very helpful.
T: You’re welcome.
Билет 19 In Trouble
Ваш зарубежный друг в плохом настроении. Попытайтесь узнать, в чем причина его плохого
настроения, чем вы можете ему помочь, дайте совет, как исправить ситуацию.
S: Hello, …., nice to meet you. Why are you so gloomy? What`s the matter?
T: I feel very upset. You see I haven’t already seen my family for more than a month and I’m home-sick.
S: Oh, dear, I see your point. Can I help you? You can call home now and talk to your mother.
T: That won’t work. Last time I called them we quarreled. My parents don’t understand me.
S: Well, I understand you. Youth is a difficult time. Every day we have to make important decisions. It’s very
hard to make them because we are not children for whom the world is so simple and not yet adults who have
life experience. You can share your problem with me.
T: Thank you, but I think nobody can help me.
S: Come on, what has happened?
T: I feel very lonely at school. One of my classmates said that I was difficult to get along with.
S: I see you’re depressed, but let me give you some advice my father once gave me. If you want to get on well
with people you should try to understand their problems. Believe me, it works! Now I have lots of friends and
they say I’m a very sociable person. I think you should follow this advice too.
T: Thank you. I’ll try.
S: Now how about going to the cinema with me? A fascinating fantasy film is on the Lighthouse today.
T: I don` t fancy going anywhere.

S: Never mind, let’s stay at home and look at the pictures with your relatives and you’ll tell me something
about your family. And then we’ll connect with your parents via Skipe and the life will be bright again!
T: Great idea! You know how to cheer me up!
Билет 20 English-Speaking Countries
Вы с другом готовите проект о стране изучаемого языка. Обсудите, о чем будет ваше сообщение
и почему, кто из вас, что будет делать.
S: Hello, .... Nice to meet you. Do you remember that we’ll have to make a project about one of the English-
Speaking countries? Let’s discuss what our project will be about.
T: Do you have any ideas?
S: If you ask me, I think we should prepare a project about one of the parts of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland about Wales.
T: Why do you think so?
S: It is rather instructive because we know very little about it. There are so many interesting things to talk
about: Cardiff, its capital, the Celts and their culture and traditions, Prince of Wales, Eisteddfod.
T: What is Eisteddfod?
S: It’s a music festival – the most ancient and the most famous one. Let’s discuss a plan.
T: Okay. We’ll start with the geographical position of Wales. Then we will show the pictures of Cardiff and
speak about the places of interest. I can look for some pictures on the Internet. I can give a talk about all this.
S: Great. Then I’ll speak about cultural traditions and famous people. You know, Catherine Zeta-Jones,
Anthony Hopkins, Tom Jones, Roald Dahl were born in Wales.
T: I haven`t heard about it.
S: I have a famous book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl in English, I can bring it to show
the class. I hope it will be interesting for our classmates. And I’ll make a Power Point Presentation with slides
and a video to illustrate our report.
T: I think it’s really great, don` t you?
S: I believe we'll do it. So let's start working.
T: With pleasure.
