I’m going to give a talk about a healthy lifestyle.
It is true that nowadays keeping fit and being healthy is more popular than it was in the past. Firstly, it’s more available for almost everybody. We have gyms in our cities, sports clothes and healthy food in different shops. Secondly, being healthy and fit is fashionable today.
As for me, I have got PE lessons at school 3 times a week and I love them. I go swimming every weekend with my friends. I also sometimes play football or volleyball.
In my region hockey is really popular with teenagers as we have got long winters and spend a lot of time outside. In the summer a lot of young people like playing football or just jogging.

I’m going to give a talk about my school.
As all teenagers in the world I’m sometimes lazy and don’t want to go to school but there are some good things about it. I love that I can meet my best friends there as we study at the same school.

ОТВЕТЫ: А — сложный
I’m going to give a talk about the place where I live.
I live in … It’s a huge/rather big/not very big/tiny city on the south/north/west/east of our country. It’s rather famous for its museums/theaters/plants and factories and of course its history. Everybody knows my city because of its remarkable sights (для Москвы/СПб/Казани и т.п.)
My favourite place in my city is a cozy café in the city center. I love it because it’s the place where I and my friends spend time hanging out, having fun and laughing. Also the café offers the best deserts in the city and I like their chocolate cake the most.
As you see I love my city and my friends who live there but I’m thinking about moving abroad. It’s a dream from my childhood to see London/New York with my own eyes and if it’s possible to get education there and probably get a job. Unfortunately, my home town can’t afford me so brilliant opportunities for study and work.

You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.

what pets are most popular in big cities;
whether having pets is a big responsibility, and why.

ОТВЕТЫ:
А — сложный
I’m going to give a talk about pets.
It’s true that nowadays a lot of people keep pets. I think that a pet can be a good friend especially for elder people who live alone. They have somebody to care about and don’t feel lonely. Also many parents buy pets for their children to teach them how to be responsible.
I’m sure that cats and dogs are the post popular pets in big cities. It’s easier to buy food for them than for exotic pets like snakes, for example. And in my opinion it’s even better to have a cat in the city as you don’t need to take it for a walk.
Of course having a pet is a big responsibility. If you have one you can’t go away for a weekend as you have somebody to look after at home. You can’t think only about yourself, you have to think about your pet too.
I think that’s all what I wanted to tell you about pets.

You are going to give a talk about foreign languages. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.

You have to talk continuously.
ОТВЕТЫ:
A — сложный
I’m going to give a talk about foreign languages.
Lots of people learn different foreign languages and English is the most popular one. It is happening because nowadays we can travel a lot and it’s much easier to visit a country if you know the language. Also, it’s obvious that we can get a better job and better salary if we can speak different foreign languages.
I’ve chosen English exam this year because I think that I know it rather well and I expect a good result. I’m into English and revision before the exam helped me to improve it too. So it’s easier for me to have English than History, for example.
Before the exam a read a lot of books and listened to a lot of audio files online. Also I had extra classes with an English teacher twice a week all this school year. She/he helped me with the structure of the exam and gave me a lot of tests to practice.

I’m going to give a talk about the Internet.
The Internet today is almost all teenagers’ life. Social life of a modern teenager is in the Internet: they make new friends and communicate here. It also helps them to study: it’s impossible to prepare a project for school without it, some schoolchildren even have extra classes with their teachers online. The Internet is the best entertainment today: we can play games, listen to music and watch films.
Of course the Internet helps us to be in touch with people who live far away. We can write letters by e-mail, and our friends get them almost immediately. There are even programs like Skype which gives us a chance to see a person while we are talking. It’s also not expensive.
There are some dangers which teenagers can face. Firstly, there are examples of addiction when people couldn’t live a day without the Internet. Secondly, some harmful programs from the Internet can damage our computers.

Using the Internet today is very popular and we spend a lot of time doing it. We make new friends, talk to the old ones and communicate with our relatives who live far away using the Internet. We also can study languages or how to cook and all this information is available there. Also the Internet is the best way to spend our free time. We can watch films, listen to music or play games.
As I’ve already said the Internet is the remarkable source of information. It’s possible to find an online course and study how to take photos, for example. People can find teachers from all over the world to find out about the subject they are interested in. The Internet is irreplaceable for people who learn foreign languages. It gives a chance to listen to native speakers and even practice with them.
I can’t live without the Internet and don’t believe that it can be dangerous but my parents do. They say that there are examples of addiction when people couldn’t live a day without the Internet. Also they warn me that some harmful programs from the Internet can damage our computer.

The most popular holiday in our country is New Year’s Eve. I think all Russians celebrate it and have very similar traditions how to spend this night. Also Victory day on May 9 is one of our favourite holidays.
Of course I love New Year and New Year holidays. I usually spend it with my family and friends. We have a huge festive dinner, then exchange presents, play games and if the weather is good enough we go for a walk.
I like presents a lot and as many people in the world I like to get presents more than give them. To be honest, I’m not good at choosing presents for my family members and friends. I usually spend a lot of time before holidays to buy something for them. For me it’s difficult to find out what people want to have as a present.

I’m going to give a talk about my career plans.
First of all, I would like to say that it’s rather difficult to decide what to do in your life when you are only 16 years old. I haven’t decided and I haven’t chosen my future job yet. I’m thinking about a career of a doctor/journalist/IT specialist. I’m still not sure.
To be a doctor I need to learn Chemistry and Biology. (To be a journalist I need Russian and Literature. To be IT specialist I need Mathematics and Computer science). These subjects are the base of the job I’m thinking about as a career of my life. Also to get to the university I’ll have exams and these subjects will definitely be in the list of compulsory subjects.
My parents give me a chance to decide what to do in the future by myself. When a told them about my plans to become a doctor/journalist/IT specialist, they approved it. They think that it is a useful job which is also rather well paid. Moreover, my uncle is a successful doctor/journalist/IT specialist, he is my role model and I’m sure that he likes my choice too.

I’m going to give a talk about books.
I think that reading is a bit less popular nowadays and we read probably less than our parents did when they were our age. We still read but today we have got a lot of other ways of getting information and entertainment. In a couple of minutes we can find the information we need for our school projects in the Internet instead of going to the library and searching it in a pile of books.
I like reading detectives and adventure books. I read for pleasure and to have some rest from my busy school life. Probably this is the reason why I prefer these genres more than more serious ones.
It’s true that many people prefer e-books to paper books today. I think it’s obvious that it’s more comfortable to have your entire library in a small and not heavy device like e-book. We don’t need to have room to keep piles of paper books. We often pay less for downloading digital version of a book than when we buy a paper one. It’s great that sometimes we can get an e-book even for free.

А — сложный
I’m going to give a talk about my school homework.
It usually takes me from 3 to 4 hours to do my homework. It depends on the day, of course, for example Friday is the busiest day of my week and it means that on Thursday I have to spend even more than 4 hours to finish all the tasks for the next day. Also it depends on the subjects I have to learn too.
I usually start with the subjects I’m good at such as Russian and English. It takes less time and less energy to finish things you like or at list don’t hate. I can’t stand History and I avoid and postpone my homework for this subject. I always do it the last.
In my opinion school homework is a good way to revise things which were learnt in the classroom. We can’t understand everything without extra time for revision but after a hard school day and 4 hours of homework many schoolchildren are almost exhausted. In my opinion we should be given a bit less homework to have some time for our hobbies and interests.

I’m going to give a talk about TV.
I think that modern teenagers spend less time in front of their TVs than their parents did. Nowadays we have others devices for information and entertainment like our laptops and mobile phones. Young people prefer finding out news, seeing films and playing computer games in the Internet.
I don’t watch TV a lot. I think I spend less than a couple of hours a week doing it. My parents are hockey fans and on Sundays we watch matches all together.
The thing I hate most about modern TV is a great mass of advertisements. While we are watching a single film there are sometimes more than ten pauses for ads. Of course it happens when something especially interesting happening in the plot. It’s not a surprise that most of people can’t stand this fact about TV.

ОТВЕТЫ:
А — сложный
I’m going to give a talk about my free time.
I’m a schoolboy/girl at the moment and after a hard day at school and 4-5 hours of homework I definitely don’t have a lot of free time. In my opinion we should be given a bit less homework to have some time for our hobbies and interests. I can say that only on Sundays I can have some time for myself as it is the only day I don’t have to go to school.
I’ve got a lot of interests. Firstly, I’m a fan of sport and can play football/volleyball/tennis with my friends if I have a chance. Secondly, I paint and draw well and love spending time drawing portraits and nature. And finally, as all teenagers in the world I enjoy spending time with my friends having parties, walking and going out.
Sunday afternoon is my favourite part of the day as by that time I usually finish my homework. We have a family dinner visiting our grandparents first. It’s one of the family traditions. Then I meet my friends and we go out together. When I come back home I have some time for a computer game or a film in the Internet.
I think that’s all what I wanted to tell you about my free time.

which of the four seasons you like most, and why;
how the Earth’s climate has changed recently;

I’m going to give a talk about weather and seasons.
ОТВЕТЫ:
А — сложный
I’m a schoolboy/schoolgirl now and of course I prefer summers as we have a chance for longer holidays. Also I feel much better if the weather is sunny and warm and you can swim and sunbathe. I’ve got my birthday in July and this is one more reason to love summers.
It should be mentioned that Earth’s climate has changed recently. We all know about the global warming and the problems which it causes such as hurricanes, droughts and so on. In my country there were cases of the snow in the middle of the summer and green grass in the middle of the winter.
I do not believe in the weather forecasts for the next day, week or month because they are very often wrong. I usually check the current temperature outside in the Internet before going out just to choose the right clothes. To be honest I’m not sure if it’s also a weather forecast or not.
That’s all what I wanted to tell you about weather and seasons.

I’m going to give a talk about public holidays in Russia.
There are some public holidays in our country but I’m going to talk about the most popular ones. For example, the most popular holiday in our country is New Year’s Eve. I think all Russians celebrate it and have very similar traditions how to spend this night. Also Victory day on May 9 is one of our favourite public holidays.
Of course I love New Year and New Year holidays most. It’s my favourite time of a year when we don’t need to go to school and can spend a lot of time outside. Also as almost all people in the world I love surprises and presents and I usually get a lot of gifts from my parents, relatives and friends.
I don’t think that there are not a lot of differences in the way how Russians spend New Year’s Eve. People in our city and in our country usually have a big festive dinner with tasty food and champagne. They give and get presents, dance play games and go for a walk at night.
That’s all what I wanted to tell you about public holidays in Russia.

Монолог “Photography”
Задание
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.
Remember to say:
· why people like taking pictures
· why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
· what the best photo you have ever taken is
You have to talk continuously.
Примерный ответ
Well, I am going to give a talk about photography.
To begin with, I’d like to say that people have always wanted beautiful moments of life to last forever. Photography helps them to make it happen.
People like taking pictures for a number of reasons. As I have just mentioned, people want to save beautiful moments of life forever. For example, while visiting an exotic country, you see lots of things that don’t exist in your own area. You never see a coconut tree in Siberia and heaps of snow somewhere in the south. Why not to take a picture? In addition to it, people take pictures not only for fun but also for fixing details of an occurrence. It is often the case when pictures help to investigate a crime.
It is really a fact that taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past. The main reason is that taking photos has become much easier today. You just take a smartphone, do a click and that’s it. It has also become easier to share photos with friends. You can upload it
on your profile in a social net and let everyone see it.
As for me, I like taking photos very much. Frankly speaking, I have many good photos, but the best one was taken last year in the Altai Mountains. My friends and I effected an ascent of a mountain and took a picture on the very top of it. The picture is just awesome! When I look at it, I admire wonderful nature and remember my friends.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that taking pictures is a never-ending hobby, which will carry away more and more people.
