Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have

found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this

text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be

ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

The London of the middle of the 17th century was a city of narrow, dirty streets. Indeed, the streets were so narrow that it was often possible for a person at a window on one side of the street to shake hands with a neighbour on the other side. There was little light and air. Rubbish lay piled up in dark corners. It is no wonder that epidemics were common.

The greatest epidemic of the plague broke out in 1665.

It was a sad time for London. The streets were empty, shops were closed and there were few boats on the Thames. Every house in which there were sick people was shut up, and no one was allowed to go in or out, and the door of the house was marked with a red cross.

Task 2. Study the advertisement.

You are considering joining this competition. And now you are calling to find out more information. In 1.5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out the following:

1. dates for joining
2. place
3. meals
4. accomodation
5. price

You have 20 seconds to ask each question.

Task 3. Imagine that while travelling during your holidays you took some

photos. Choose one photo to present to your friend.

You will have to start speaking in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more

than 2 minutes. In your talk remember to speak about:

•when you took the photo

 •what/who is in the photo

 •what is happening

•why you took the photo

•why you decided to show the picture to your friend

You have to talk continuously, starting with:

I’ve chosen photo number …

Task 4. Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and

contrast the photographs:

give a brief description of the photos (action, location)

say what the pictures have in common

say in what way the pictures are different

say which of the sports presented in the pictures you’d prefer

explain why

You will speak for not more than 2 minutes. You have to talk continuously.

“A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS”

Strategies For Describing & Comparing Pictures

January 2015

Описание картинки, пожалуй, является одним из наи- более сложных экзаменационных испытаний. Приведен- ные ниже стратегии и инструкции помогут учащимся успешно выполнять задания данного типа и могут быть использованы для описания и сравнения изображений любых жанров.

Types of pictures:

1. Получив задание, не впадайте в панику!

2. Внимательно  ознакомьтесь  с  предложенной  вам картинкой.

Проанализируйте ее. У вас есть минута.

3. Вступление

Дайте общую характеристику того, что изображено: Что? Где? Когда?

This is a picture of…

It was probably taken at… It shows…

The picture shows a scene from …

It’s an image of … (place, person, scene).

4. Описание – интерпретация, рассуждение

Сначала сконцентрируйте свое внимание на самых важ- ных, информативных, интересных частях картинки и только затем переходите к другим, второстепенным деталям. Двигайтесь в определенном направлении, на- пример: от центра к сторонам; снизу вверх; слева на- право. Будьте последовательны и систематичны. Ло- гичность высказывания не только поможет вам успеш- но справиться с заданием, но и существенно облегчит восприятие вашей речи экзаменатором.

In the foreground/middleground/background we can see… The central focus of the picture is…

The  picture  shows  …  (place,  person,  scene)  from  a distance.

… (place, person, scene) is shown from … (a bird’s eye view/worm’s eye view/…).

You  look  at  …  (place,  person,  scene)  from  …  (above/ behind/…).

In the picture you can see … … (position: on the left/right/…) there is / are …

(position: on the left/right/…) you can see …/… is … (position: on the left/right/…).

In the bottom left corner of the picture, some people…

При описании мест и объектов скажите: что это за место? Что там находится? Какое время года и какая погода?

О чем говорят предметы и объекты, находящиеся там? Что делают люди и почему они там находятся? Что уже произошло, что происходит сейчас и что произойдет в ближайшем будущем? Какова атмосфера и общее на- строение?

При описании людей необходимо остановиться на их внешности: укажите возраст, строение, черты лица, бег- ло опишите одежду, прическу.

Какое у них выражение лица, настроение? О чем это го- ворит? Как они себя чувствуют? Что сделали, делают, намереваются делать? Каковы взаимоотношения персо- нажей на картинке?

Не забудьте про рассуждение: о чем говорит все уви- денное вами на картинке?

Используйте воображение, высказывайте свои предпо- ложения.

Perhaps these people are…

From the crashed things on the floor, I can assume that… From his facial expression, I suppose…

It is almost obviously that this woman is about to…

5. Вывод. Общее впечатление (что хотел сказать автор) Какие мысли, чувства, ассоциации вызывает изображе- ние у зрителя? Что хотел сказать автор?

The viewer has the impression that… The viewer’s attention is focused on…

The image inspires the viewers to think about/follow the idea of…/realize that...

6. Ваше личное впечатление

Какое состояние, настроение вызывает у вас увиден- ное? Как вы персонально относитесь к тому, что изо- бражено? Помните, что ваше мнение может и не со- впадать с мнением автора изображения.

The picture makes me feel happy/sad/… The picture inspires me to think about… The picture gives me the impression that…

I find it difficult to withdraw my eyes from…

7. Не молчите!

Говорите постоянно. Не останавливайтесь. Если вы не знаете название каких-либо изображенных предметов, объектов или явлений, старайтесь объяснить другими словами. Забыли термин/слово/красивое выражение – перефразируйте, используйте более простую лексику.

8. Пользуйтесь филерами

Они не только “тянут время”, позволяя вам подобрать слова и лучше сформулировать свою мысль, но и делают вашу речь более естественной.

Er…/Let me see…/Mm…/Well,…/ I meen …/You know…
