I’m going to give a talk about my school.

I would like to say that school is one of the most important parts of our lives because we get knowledge which will help us in our future. I am finishing the 9th form and I’m going to continue my studying in the 10th form because I like my school.

As for my typical school day, I should say it is very busy. It usually starts at 8.30 in the morning and comes to an end at 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Every day we have 7 or 8 classes. We do a lot of work at our classes: learn rules, do exercises and tests, write essays, and so on. Besides, I have to visit some optional courses to prepare for my future exams.

My favourite subjects are English and Literature. I’d like to be a translator and that’s why they are the most important subjects for my future job because they can help develop my speaking skills in English and in Russian and broaden my mind. Of course I have to work a lot.

I like a lot in my school but most of all I like my classmates. We are all good friends and get on well with each other.

In conclusion, I’d like to add that school education is very important for us. It helps us build our character and develop our mind. That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about your school holidays. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • when you have school holidays;

  • what school holidays you would make longer, and why;

  • what you enjoy doing during your school holidays;

  • what your attitude to school holidays is.

I’m going to give a talk about school holidays.

I have school holidays 4 times a year. The longest holiday is the summer holiday. We have got 3 months to have a rest. Also every autumn, winter and spring there is a week for school holidays.

Well, I would like to make the winter holidays longer. It’s my favourite season.  I would like to have more free time for skiing and snowboarding.

I’m a fan of winter activities like skiing or skating. During other seasons I love spending time with my friends and going out. Of course, we go to the cinema, play bowling and ride bikes too.

I have got a positive attitude to school holidays. Summer holidays are the best.

I think that’s all that I wanted to tell you about school holidays.


  1. You are going to give a talk about travelling. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why people like travelling in Russia;

  • what means of transport is the most popular for travelling in Russia, and why;

  • what places in Russia you would like to visit;

  • what your attitude to travelling is.

I’m going to give a talk about travelling.

Many people enjoy travelling in Russia a lot. It’s a good chance to discover new places and meet people. Also it’s the best opportunity to study customs and cultures of different nationalities of our country.

The most popular way of moving in Russia is travelling by plane. Our country is very big and travelling by plane is the fastest type of travelling over long distances.

I would like to visit Moscow/St. Petersburg/Kazan. I’m sure that everyone should visit this wonderful city. Also it would be great to go to Sochi to go skiing and to swim in the sea during one trip.

I am a big fan of travelling. My attitude to it is very positive.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about travelling.

  • whether reading is popular with teenagers, and why, or why not;

  • what kind of books you like reading;

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

  • what your attitude to reading is.

I’m going to give a talk about books.

I think that reading is less popular nowadays and we read probably less than our parents did. We still read but today we have got easier ways of getting information. We can find the information for our school projects quickly in the Internet instead of going to the library and looking for it in books.

I like reading detectives and adventure books. I read for pleasure and to have some rest from my busy school life. This is the reason why I prefer these not very serious genres.

Many people prefer e-books to paper books today. It’s more comfortable to have your entire library in a small device like e-book. We don’t need to have room to keep paper books. We often pay less for downloading digital version of a book than for a paper book. It’s great that sometimes we can get an e-book even for free.

I am not into reading very much and my attitude to reading is neutral.

I think that’s all that I wanted to tell you about books.

While travelling people often go sightseeing. Many people love trying national food and they visit a lot of cafes and restaurants. Some people are interested in cultural places like museums.

As for me I would like to visit Moscow/Saint Petersburg/Kazan. I’m sure that this city is one of the most beautiful in the world. I want to see by myself all the significant places which I was reading about and find out more about the history of our country.

I am a big fan of travelling. My attitude to it is very positive.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about travelling.

  • what else besides sport  young people do to keep fit; 

  • what you  enjoy doing in your free time;

  • what your attitude to doing sports activities is.

I’m going to give a talk about keeping fit.

Doing sport is very important for me, my friends and all teenagers. Firstly, it helps us to be healthy and more energetic. Secondly, if we do sport we are slim and attractive. It is in fashion to be sporty nowadays.

To keep fit young people also eat less fast food and more fresh vegetables. Some girls in my class follow a diet. Also, to be fit and healthy we spend more time outside skiing, skating or walking.

I’ve got a lot of interests. I’m a fan of sport and can play football/volleyball/tennis very well. Also I can paint and I love drawing animals. Finally, I enjoy spending time with my friends, having parties and going out.

I want to be slim, so my attitude to doing sports activities is positive.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about keeping fit.

  • why people build zoos in cities and towns;

  • what your attitude to zoos is.

I’m going to give a talk about animals.

There are squirrels, foxes, wolves, deer and moose living in the forests in my region. I heard about even bears here too.  People build zoos in the cities to show children and adults how the wild animals look and live. Zoologists observe animals’ behaviour.

Actually, having a wild animal as a pet is a big responsibility. It is not easy to look after this kind of pet. For example, we don’t know how to feed them. Also, it may be dangerous for the owner and his guests.  

My attitude to animals is very positive. I really like animals and can’t imagine my life without my dog. It is a member of my family.

That’s all what I wanted to tell you about animals. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

·          what your typical school day is like;

·          what subjects at school you find most useful for your future, and why;

·          what you are going to do when you leave school;

. what your attitude to school life is.

I’m going to give a talk about my school.

My typical school day is busy. We usually start at 8.30 and we have got more than 6 lessons every day. I usually come home at 3 p.m. and start doing my homework.

Most useful subjects at school are the subjects which are useful for the future career.  I’m planning to become an engineer. I pay more attention to mathematics and physics. 

After school I would like to enter the university. I haven’t chosen the university yet but I know that I might be a good engineer. I’m good at numbers and technical equipment. I hope that all my plans will come true.

My attitude to my school life is more positive than negative. I think I’ll miss it.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about my school.

  • what your attitude to your school life is.

I’m going to give a talk about my school life.

All my weekdays are similar. I usually have 6-7 lessons every day. After the school lessons I have some extra classes to be ready for my exams. When I come home I have to do my homework.

I sometimes don’t want to go to school but there are some good things in it. I love that I can meet my best friends in my school. I like some teachers because they can help me with difficult things. I like physics/English/literature very much. We’ve got an excellent teacher and I am really interested in this subject.

As for me, I prefer classroom learning. I need face-to-face contact with my teachers and classmates to understand information better. Also, it is easier to organize effective group work while we are all in the classroom.

My attitude to my school life is positive. I think I’ll miss my school next year.

I think that’s all that I wanted to tell you about my school life.

I’m going to give a talk about sports.

Nowadays a lot of young people do sports regularly. We have everything to be slim and strong. There are gyms, clubs and swimming pools in our cities. Doing sports is in fashion now too.

There are some sports clubs in my school. For example, we have a skiing club, a football club and a basketball team. I’m a member of a volleyball team. We play well and twice a year we take part in a city competitions.

To kip fit I try not to miss PE lessons 3 times a week. Also every Monday and Friday I train with my volleyball team. I avoid fast food and eat healthily.

I am not a big fan of sport but I know that it is useful. So my attitude to sport is positive.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about sports.


  1. You are going to give a talk about environmental problems. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why people worry about environmental problems nowadays;

  • what the most serious environmental problem in the place where you live is;

  • what young people can do to improve the ecological situation; 

  • what your attitude to environmental problems is.

I’m going to give a talk about environmental problems.

Earth’s climate has changed recently. That is why people started to worry about environmental problems. We all know about the global warming. It causes a lot of problems – hurricanes, for example.

My region also has some environmental problems. There are different kinds of environmental pollution like air pollution, water pollution and land pollution here. Forests around the city are full of used bottles and cans. Such litter also can be found in rivers and lakes in my region.

We all can do something for our environment. We can consume less, separate waste and do not waste water while brushing our teeth.

I think we should start solving environmental problems as soon as possible. 

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about environmental problems.


  1. You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why people keep pets; 

  • what pets are most popular in big cities;

  • whether having pets is a big responsibility, and why;

  • what your attitude to keeping pets is.

I am going to give a talk about pets.

To begin with, I’d like to say that nowadays more and more people keep pets at home (cats, dogs, parrots, hamsters, guinea pigs, and so on.) There are different reasons why people have pets. I believe that most people keep animals because they make their lives happier. They say pets give people positive emotions and can cure different diseases. Besides, some people need friends, they hate being alone. So, pets help them not to feel lonely, they spend their free time taking care of them.

In my opinion, cats, dogs and parrots are the most popular pets in big cities. Firstly, they don’t need much food and space. Secondly, most children are fond of these pets.

Anyway, to have pets is a big responsibility. If you don’t take care of them properly, they may fall sick and even die. People should always remember to feed pets in time, walk out and love them.

In conclusion, I can say that pets play an important part in our life.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.





  1. You are going to give a talk about travelling. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why most people like travelling;

  • which season is the best for travelling in your opinion;

  • what means of transport is the best for travelling, and why;

  • what your attitude to travelling is.

I’m going to talk about travelling.

To begin with, most people like travelling because it helps relax, see something new and escape from daily routine. Besides, it gives them an opportunity to meet new people. Travelling is a good way to broaden people’s mind. If people go to a foreign country, they can learn its customs and traditions, see the sights, make friends with local citizens.

In my opinion, summer is the best season for travelling because there are many different offerings and discounts in this time of the year. Most adults have vacations and children have holidays. But it’s only my point of view.

As for means of transport, I suppose that cars are the most convenient because you can stop everywhere you wish and spend as much time as you like. It gives you a chance to enjoy the nature and you don’t have to buy tickets beforehand.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that travelling plays an important part in our life and everybody should travel as much as possible.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

I would like to say that school is one of the most important parts of our lives because we get knowledge which will help us in our future.

I should say that I like my school. It has a lot a lot of facilities such as a library, a computer room, a canteen, lots of classrooms. I like a gym because I am fond of doing sports. To tell you the truth, I like a lot in my school but most of all I like my classmates. We are all good friends and get on well with each other.

Every day we have 7 or 8 classes. We do a lot of work at our classes: learn rules, do exercises and tests, write essays, and so on. Besides, I have to visit some optional courses to prepare for my future exams.

As for me, this year I have chosen to do the English exam and the Literature one. I am interested in these subjects because they will help me in the future. I’d like to be a translator. Of course, I have to work a lot.

That’s all I wanted to say about my school.


  1. You are going to give a talk about your free time. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • whether you have a lot of free time, and why, or why not;

  • what you enjoy doing in your free time;

  • what your Sunday afternoons are like;

  • what your attitude to planning your free time is. 

I am going to give a talk about my free time.

To begin with, I study at school and I don’t have much free time. But I still have some things I like doing, for example, reading books, watching films on the Internet, drawing and learning English. Moreover, I like cycling in summer. It’s my favourite kind of sport, I should say.

To tell you the truth, I am crazy about learning English. I try to read English books, to watch English films and to listen to English songs. It’s very interesting for me and it will help me in my future profession. I’d like to be an interpreter.

As for Sunday, it is my favorite day of the week. Firstly, I get up later than usual. Secondly, I have a lot of free time for doing my favourite hobby. Then I am fond of going to the cinema with my friends on Sunday afternoons.

In conclusion I should say I wish I had more spare time. Free time activities make my life exciting. That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about films. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

·   what kinds of films modern teenagers enjoy;

·   where you prefer watching films: on TV, on the Internet or in the cinema, and why;

·   what film you have seen recently, what  it was about;

·   what your attitude to watching films as a way to spend your free time is.

I’m going to give a talk about films.

To begin with, I should say that there are a lot of different kinds of films, but talking about modern teenagers, I think they enjoy watching detectives, adventure films and thrillers. I think so because I and my friends watch them very often. We watch them for pleasure and they help us have a rest from our busy school life.

We can watch films on TV, on the Internet or in the cinema. As for me, I prefer to use the Internet for watching my favourite films. It’s more comfortable for me. I don’t need to go out or to buy tickets beforehand. Besides, it’s much cheaper than going to the cinema. Moreover, I can watch a film any time I like. So, there are a lot of advantages of seeing films in the Internet at home.

As for the film I’ve seen recently it was Star Wars. It was the latest part. It is a personal story of one of the main heroes. As all other episodes this one is about fight between good and bad characters.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about school homework. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • how long it takes you to do your homework;

  • what subject you usually start with, and why;

  • whether schoolchildren should be given more or less homework, and why;

  • what your attitude to school homework is.

I’m going to give a talk about school homework.

While studying at school children have to do their homework. I think homework is boring but is necessary to do because we should know rules, practice our oral and written skills. Pupils have different types of homework: to write a composition, to learn a poem, to copy exercises and so on. As for me, it takes me 3-or 4 hours to do my homework.

Firstly, I start doing my lessons with the most difficult subjects such as Russian, English and Maths. Then I do Literature. At the beginning when I’m not tired, I do lessons more quickly. I should say these subjects are very important for me. I have to learn them properly to prepare for my future exams.

I think, schoolchildren should be given less homework. Doing homework takes much time and children don’t have enough free time for their hobbies. They are very tired of their homework. As a result, they have some problems with their health.

In conclusion, I should say studying is not easy. If you want to have excellent results you should do the lessons systematically. That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why people spend time watching TV;

  • what most teenagers prefer: watching TV or  browsing the Internet, and why;

  • whether there is a TV programme you really like;

  • what your attitude to watching TV as a way to spend your free time  is.

I’m going to give a talk about TV. To begin with, I should say that TV plays an important part in our life. I think people spend time watching TV because there are many interesting programmes for people of different ages on TV. For example, my grandma likes watching TV shows about cooking, my dad likes watching sports programmes and my mum is fond of educational programmes. But most teenagers prefer browsing the Internet, I believe. It is a source of information and entertainment. They send e-mails, download music and films. Besides, they can communicate with each other. They create their profiles on different social nets such as facebook, instagram and others. Of course, the Internet helps students in their studies too. As for me, I like watching programmes in English in my free time. For example “The Voice” or “Travel man”. Such programmes help me improve my English. It’s very important for me because I’d like to be an interpreter.

In conclusion I want to say that watching TV and browsing the Internet are two main sources of information and entertainment nowadays. That’s all I wanted to say. Thanks for listening.

  1. You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • whether watching TV is a popular pastime with teenagers, and why, or why not;

  • how many hours a week you watch TV;

  • what TV programme is the most popular within your family;

  • what your attitude to TV is.

I’m going to give a talk about TV.

Modern teenagers spend less time watching TV than their parents did. Nowadays we have others devices for information and entertainment. Young people prefer finding out news, seeing films and playing computer games on the Internet.

I don’t watch TV a lot. I think I spend a couple of hours a week doing it. My parents are hockey fans and on Sundays we all watch matches.

It is not easy to choose the most popular TV programme as all members of my family like different things. I would probably mention the news on TV as the programme everybody watches in my family.

I am not a big fan of watching TV so my attitude to it is neutral.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about TV.


  1. You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • what weekday you find the most difficult, and why; 

  • what you would like to change in your school life;

  • what your attitude to your school life is.

I’m going to give a talk about my school.

I would like to say that school is one of the most important parts of our lives because we get knowledge which will help us in our future.

I am finishing the 9th form and I’m going to continue my studying in the 10th form because I like my school. It is old and not very big. There are about four hundred pupils. It has a lot a lot of facilities such as a library, a computer room, a canteen, lots of classrooms. Most of all I like a gym because I am fond of doing sports.

As for weekdays, I find Monday the most difficult one because we have eight lessons, including Maths and Physics. Frankly speaking, I don’t enjoy these lessons very much and Monday is the first day after a weekend. I am very tired on Monday.

In my opinion, a lot of things should be changed in my school. But the most important thing for me is the menu in our school canteen. The food isn’t tasty there I think.

In conclusion I want to say that my school is the best in my town.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about learning foreign languages. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why lots of people learn foreign languages nowadays;

  • why you have chosen to do the English exam this year;

  • what you did to prepare for your English exam;

  • what your attitude to learning foreign languages is.

I’m going to give a talk about foreign languages.

Learning a foreign language is not easy, it takes much time and effort. People learn foreign languages for different reasons. Nowadays more and more people travel around the world. So, it’s necessary to learn foreign languages to communicate with other people, to understand them and to be understood. Besides, knowledge of foreign languages can help to find a well-paid job and gives an opportunity to study abroad. Some people learn foreign languages just for a hobby because it improves memory and broaden their minds.

As for me, I have been learning English for 8 years. And this year I have chosen to do the English exam. I am interested in English and I realize that it will help me in the future. I’d like to be a translator.

Of course, I prepared for my English exam. I learned a lot of new words, read English books to enrich my vocabulary, listened to different English texts to improve my listening skills.

All in all, I can say that learning languages play an important role in our life.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

  1. You are going to give a talk about keeping fit. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10––12 sentences). Remember to say:

·         why a healthy lifestyle is popular nowadays;

·         what you do to keep fit;

·         what sports activities are popular with teenagers in your region;

·         what your attitude to a healthy lifestyle is.

I’m going to give a talk about a healthy lifestyle.

To begin with, I would like to say that a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays because everybody wants to live a long and healthy life. People want to look slim.

As for me, I try to keep fit and follow a healthy lifestyle too. First of all, I do my morning exercises and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables every day. Besides, I prefer cycling because it’s my favorite kind of sport. I've been cycling for six years. In winter I ski and skate. I enjoy it a lot. Moreover, we have PE classes three times a week. We play basketball, football, we run a lot. I also stay away from bad habits, because I’m sure that smoking and drinking alcohol destroy our body and brains.

As for teenagers in my region, they are keen on playing basketball, football and volleyball. A lot of young men become interested in karate  [kəˈrɑːti], boxing, judo [ˈdʒu:dəu] and so on.

In conclusion, I want to say that sport is a very important part of our life. It makes us healthier.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.


  1. You are going to give a talk about the Internet. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • why today’s teenagers use the Internet so much; 

  • how the Internet makes long-distance communication easier;

  • what dangers teenagers can face when they use the Internet;

  • what your attitude to the Internet is.

I am going to give a talk about using the Internet.

It is an important part of our life and we can’t imagine our life without the Internet. Today’s teenagers use the Internet so much because it is a source of information and entertainment. They send e-mails, download music and films. Besides, they can communicate with each other. They create their profiles on different social nets such as facebook, instagram and others. Of course, the Internet helps students in their studies too.

I think, the Internet makes long-distance communication easier. Thanks to special programmes for communication, for example Skype, people can chat with relatives or friends who live far away or abroad.

Unfortunately, teenagers can face some dangers when they use the Internet. There are some criminals who can get your private information and use it in criminal aims. Secondly, some teenagers get addicted to the Internet because they spend all their free time playing computer games. Moreover, the Internet spoils their eyes.

In conclusion I’d like to say that the Internet has both advantages and disadvantages that’s why people should use it wisely.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.













  1. You are going to give a talk about your best friend. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

  • what people need friends for;

  • how long you and your friend have known each other;

  • what you enjoy doing together;

  • what your attitude to friendship is. 

I’m going to give a talk about my best friend.

I believe that everybody needs friends and if we can call one of them the best friend, it’s even better. We need friends to comfort us when we are sad. A friend is the one who’ll never leave you alone with all your problems, cheer you up, give you a good piece of advice and always help you. Also, friends usually share our interests and we have people to spend our free time with.It seems that I have known my best friend for ages. I remember the day a saw her/him in our school. She/He moved to our city and didn’t know anybody. I wanted to make her/his first days in our class more comfortable and introduced myself. Since that day we are best friends.

We’ve got a lot of common interests. Firstly, we’re interested in sport and often play football/volleyball/tennis together. Secondly, we both paint and draw well and love spending time drawing or visiting art galleries. Also, as all teenagers in the world we enjoy having parties and going to the cinema.

I think it’s obvious that friendship is one of the most important things in our life.

I think that’s all that I wanted to tell you about my best friend.


  1. You are going to give a talk about the place where you live. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

I am going to give a talk about my native town.

To begin with, I’d like to say that I live in Kirsanov. It’s the place where I have been living since my birth. Kirsanov is a small town in Tambov region. As far as I know, there are about 16 thousand people in it. It was founded in 1779. By the way, our town is famous for its picturesque places. Our town is green. I mean it is surrounded by the forests.

As for me, I like my town very much, because there are a lot of places where we can spend our free time. We have got a cinema, cafes, skating rinks and a sports centre. As for my favourite place is a cinema which is very popular among teens.

After leaving school I am not going to stay in Kirsanov because it hasn’t got any higher educational oppurtunities. I am going to leave it for Moscow to get a higher education.

In conclusion I want to say that Kirsanov is a lovely place.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
