You have to talk continuously.

I would like to start with the idea that school is one of the most important parts of our lives. And I have many good and reliable friends there. We not only learn together but also play in one football team. Sometimes we even travel to other Russian cities together. Speaking about my school, I can say that all teachers are very attentive and kind. They not only teach us school subjects but also give us important social skills. But obviously like every student I have some problems while studying. I guess that I'm not the best student. The most difficult day for me is Friday because we have six classes and two of them are math. And to be honest, math is the most difficult subject for me. In my opinion, cabinets in our school should be repaired because most of them are very old. In summary, I can say that in spite of all difficulties I like my school because all my friends are there.

First of all, I would like to say that keeping fit has become very popular nowadays. I guess that it is a really good fact. Also it is important for every person because it improves your health and makes you stronger. I believe that a healthy lifestyle is popular today because there are a lot of opportunities to do sport. For example, you can go to the gym, go to pool, join a sport team or even become a professional player. Speaking about me, I prefer to play football with my friends because it’s my favourite sport. I've been playing football for ten years. I enjoy it a lot. Teenagers in my region prefer to play basketball, ice hockey and volleyball. We also have a lot of sports competitions in school.

• how many hours a week you watch TV;

• what you dislike most about TV.

You have to talk continuously.

Today millions of people around the world enjoy sitting in front of the TV and watching their favourite programs and shows. But we should admit that today television is not as popular among kids as it is among adults. I guess that teenagers don’t watch TV. Most of them have computers with the internet access. That is why if they want to watch some show or a movie, they use their computer. Speaking about me, I watch TV three or four hours a week. Sometimes I get bored from playing computer games. So I decide to watch TV programs. The main fact which I don’t like about TV is that it is a waste of time. Rather than to do something important, most people get distracted by siting in front of the TV. In conclusion, I think that televisions are mostly preferred by elderly people. But essentially watching TV is a waste of time.

4. You are going to give a talk about books. 

Remember to say:

• why many people prefer e-books to paper books.

You have to talk continuously.

I would like to start with the idea that I love reading books. It’s the only way of communication with people who lived hundreds or even thousands years ago. But I think that most of the modern teenagers don’t read at all. And it is a very sad fact. It seems to me that the main reason of why they don’t read is because there is a wide choice of social networks. Also there are many computers games which distract teenagers. As a consequence, kids can’t concentrate to read at least one page of the book. Speaking about me, I like reading science fiction because there are thousands of facts about nature and I know only a tiny percent of them. Also I’ve noticed that many people today prefer electronic books to paper books. I think e-books are convenient because you can upload hundreds of books in a one tiny device. In conclusion, reading is a great hobby. I enjoy it a lot.

 5.  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.

• what the best photo you have ever taken is

You have to talk continuously.

I’d like to start with the notion that taking pictures has become very popular these days. Not to mention that almost every family has their own camera. I think that people like taking pictures because in that way they can memorize the moment. Looking at the self-made photograph makes you think about old good times. In my opinion, taking photos is more popular now than it was before because cameras have become cheaper and more people can buy them. Speaking about me, I like taking photos, too. And, obviously, I have my best shot. It’s the photograph of the local lake surrounded by trees. In conclusion, I think that taking photos is a good hobby and it’s great that many people agree with me.

I would like to start with the idea that it’s good for a person to know at least one foreign language. It could help him to find a higher wage job. Also it can be useful if you want to read foreign literature. Or maybe you would like to watch foreign shows and movies. A lot of people learn foreign languages because they realize that it will help them in future. Moreover, today every person has a chance to learn a foreign language. I think it's great. In the past it was only a privilege for the rich people. I have chosen to do English exam this year because I believe that this language is widespread around the world. I learned a lot of grammatical rules and practiced speaking to prepare for my English exam. In summary, I can say that learning languages is a very important skill in the modern world. It can be useful both in professional and entertaining spheres.

Today almost every family has a pet. Speaking about the reasons, I believe that most people keep animals because they make their lives happier. Also parents usually buy a pet for their children. It can help them become more responsible. In my opinion, cats, dogs and parrots are the most popular pets in big cities. They are widespread because all of them can easily live within the apartment. But it is important for all owners to keep in mind that having an animal is a big responsibility. Life of creatures depends on them. They should always remember to feed, walk with a pet.

But the majority of people daily use it. I think that the Internet is popular because it contains enormous amount of information. Speaking about the teenagers, I think that they use Internet too much. One of the main reason of why this is happening is because they can communicate with each other using social networks. No doubt that opportunities which the internet provides are enormous. It helps students in their studies giving an access to useful books and articles.

You have to talk continuously.

Today thousands of tourists around the world choose Saint-Petersburg as a place where they are willing to spend their holidays. I should mention that I've been living in Saint-Petersburg all my life. My city is famous for its short but glorious history. Saint-Petersburg was found by Peter the Great in 1703 year. So city is relatively young in comparison with other cities. Hermitage museum is my favorite place. I like it so much because the number of sculptures and pictures is enormous. We went to Hermitage several times with my classmates. Speaking about the time when I leave school I think that I will stay in Saint-Petersburg. There are many prestigious universities there. And also there are good opportunities for career growth. That is why I have no reasons to leave that beautiful town. In conclusion, I think that every person in the world should visit Saint-Petersburg.

Holidays are the most pleasant times of the year for majority of kids. They can forget about school subjects and relax doing anything that they want. In my country the most important holidays are New Year, Victory Day and Easter. My favorite holiday is New Year because we get two weeks of vacations. I can sit at home all day and watch my favorite TV programs. Or, for example, play with my friends. Also there are many dishes in that time of the year. I celebrate that holiday at home with my friends and relatives. Also we give each other presents.

I think that most people like travelling because it gives them an opportunity to meet new people. Also it's a good chance to find out interesting historical facts. In my opinion, summer is the best season for travelling because there are many different offerings and discounts in this time of the year. Also the majority of people are busy the whole year. That is why summer is the only time when they can go somewhere. I think that buses and trolleybuses are the most convenient means of transport because they allow people to move all over the town. In conclusion, I think that travelling is great and all people should use an opportunity to visit other countries.

12. 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;

• whether your family approve of your career choice or not.

You have to talk continuously.

I would like to start with the idea that almost all young people today consider making a successful career as the main goal in life. That is why so many people go to universities. Most of them spend four or six years on getting a decent education. Speaking about me, I want to be an economist working in the bank. Or in a big multinational company. It’s an interesting and well-paid job. But this job is also difficult because you should be very good both at microeconomics and math. Those two subjects are important because a true economist should know both economic theory and mathematical models. That is why this profession requires a lot of knowledge which you get during the six year period. In fact, my family doesn’t approve my career choice. They think that I should become a lawyer. In conclusion, I think that being economist is great. And I’m looking forward to it.
