ПРОТОКОЛ ОЦЕНКИ КОНКУРСА «ПИСЬМО»

Процедура проверки работ в конкурсе письменной речи

Каждая работа проверяется в обязательном порядке двумя членами жюри независимо друг от друга (каждый член жюри получает чистую копию работы без каких-либо пометок). Члены жюри записывают замечания и выставляют баллы не в работе, а в своем бланке протокола. Итоговым баллом является средний балл между баллами, выставленными двумя членами

жюри, проверяющими работу. В случае значительного расхождения выставленных оценок (расхождение оценок более 3-х баллов), назначается еще одна проверка, затем выставляется средняя оценка между двумя ближайшими баллами (третья оценка при этом не учитывается). Если после третьей проверки все три оценки значительно расходятся (расхождение оценок более 3-х баллов), работа считается «спорной». «Спорные» работы проверяются и обсуждаются коллективно.

When I left home to go to university, I rented a room in the house of a local family – the Bridges. They had two kids: Robert, their fifteen year old son and Louise, their eleven year old daughter. Mr. Bridges is a successful chemical engineer and a really friendly guy. His big hobby is restoring vintage motorbikes. Mrs. Bridges works in the university library which was really useful for me as she often gave me a ride to campus. I lived with them a year and still see them pretty often, even though I now have my own flat.

The Bridges are fantastic people and I was welcomed into their family almost as an elder son. But looking back on it, the most memorable thing was watching the incredible transformation of Robert – their talented son.

I love listening to music and I often go to listen to live music, but Robert is possibly one of the most naturally gifted musicians I have ever come across. The amazing thing is that when I first met him he’d never even touched a musical instrument. However, not long after I moved into their spare room, an upright piano was installed in their lounge. It was actually an unwanted gift from Mrs. Bridges’ sister who secretly hoped that the children might want to learn how to play it.

I had a small part to play in what happened next. I was chatting to Robert when he told me how much he loved the piano music sound track to Final Fantasy, one of his computer play station games. I then found him a piece of film on the internet of someone playing the same piece of music – but the film showed only the musicians hands on the keyboard. I joked to Robert that he could teach himself to play by copying the hands on their own piano.

That was two years ago. Robert has become an astonishingly good pianist in this time. He learned that first piece in just 3 days. After a month he could play 10 or more complex pieces although at that stage he couldn’t even read music. The Bridges then got him a piano teacher, Luke, who turned out to be an inspiration. Luke liked the same kind of music as Robert and always gave him exciting new pieces to learn whilst teaching him to read music and the fundamentals of technique.

The most exciting thing of all started about a year ago when, with only a little guidance from Luke, Robert began to compose music himself. Then, with the help from some of Luke’s friends, he was able to submit several pieces for publishing and for use as sound tracks for future computer games. I now really enjoy listening to Robert’s music. Perhaps one day another youngster will see Robert’s hands on the computer, filmed playing his own compositions – and the cycle might begin again.

Cycling

We often hear a saying «Don't invent a bicycle» about something simple and known for a long time. Really, the bicycle is old enough — more than a hundred years of age. Its first prototype appeared in 1791 in France. In 1800 a Russian peasant Artamonov made an iron bicycle and travelled on it from Nizhni Tagil to Moscow.

First bicycles looked odd: a large (about 1.5m high) front wheel with a cranked axle. The back wheel was usually smaller. Bicycles were made of iron and riding them was not comfortable because of shaking. They were even called «boneshakers». In 1868 rubber tyres were invented, first solid, then pneumatic. New types of bicycles appeared every year but only in 1885 people saw a model which looked like modern cycles. It had two almost equal wheels and a chain drive to the rear wheel. The frame of the cycle was diamond-shaped. This shape survived and became basic. The new machine looked more elegant than the old «spiders» which were soon abandoned. As time went by, new bicycles were invented — for two, three and even fifteen riders!

The first bicycle race was held in 1868 in Paris. But the sport became popular only several decades later because bicycles were expensive and only rich people could afford them. By the end of the 19th century many factories produced thousands of bicycles which became cheap, so many people could practice cycling and take part in various competitions.

Cycling competitions are generally divided into road and track events. Both kinds are in the Olympic programme. Olympic road events include individual and team races. Individual races' distances are different usually up to 200 kilometres. The winner is the first cyclist who passes over the finish line with his front wheel. In the team road event the teams start the contest with 2-4 minutes interval, and that team wins whose members get the best sum of timings.

Track events take place on special cycling tracks which look like elongated stadiums with a sloping runway made of concrete, wood or plastics.
Track events are very spectacular. The Olympic programme includes 1 km sprint races, 1 km heat or time trial, individual pursuit and team pursuit over 4 km.

Modern sport bicycles are very light but firm machines made of special metals.

The Benefits of Modern Technology.

Modern technology has brought about enormous improvements in communications and yet many people are still very worried 29_________ using the latest computer technology. I am often surprised to meet people who still don’t know what the “e” in e-mail stands for and they are too 30___________ to ask. They assume you have to be skilled 31___________ computers to send a message via e-mail but in fact it is the simplest thing in the world.

It is also cheaper to send an e-mail message than to send an ordinary letter or a “snail” message which also takes much longer. An e-mail message is only 32_________ more expensive than a local telephone call to send; on top of the call itself you also have to pay a fee to your “server”. If you send a letter by 33_______________ mail it will take a couple of days to get there whereas an e-mail will not take longer than a few seconds.

Once you become 34________ to using the system you will be amazed at how much more 35___________ it is than other means of communications. Of course, before you have access to e-mail, you will need a fairly powerful computer, which can be quite expensive.
