ОГЭ по английскому - чтение

Task 1

You are going to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

Cats and people have been living together for thousands of years. Nowadays, domestic cats are extremely popular pets. According to statistics, they are even more popular than dogs. There is no doubt that cats love people as much as people appreciate them. Maybe it's because cats and humans share some physiological traits. For instance, a cat's brain is more similar to a human brain than a dog's. The regions of the brain responsible for emotion are identical in both humans and cats. Cats also have A and B blood types, just like people.

Task 3

Remember to say:

● what means of public transport is the most popular in your hometown;

● what environmental problems caused by cars exist in your hometown;

● whether the bicycle is a popular means of transport in your hometown; why / why not.

ВАШ ВОЗМОЖНЫЙ ОТВЕТ:

Using public transport is very convenient. However, it can cause some environmental problems.

I think that the most popular means of public transport in our city is the Metro. It’s faster than any other public transport. It is also more comfortable than say, buses or trolleybuses.

As far as I know, the biggest enviromental problem is air polution which is caused by cars. There are a lot of cars in our city. They produce a lot of unhealthy smog. Sometimes when you are walking along a street it’s hard to breath because of car fumes.

I guess bicycles are getting more and more popular in our city. The city government is going to make a special lane for bicyclers, although not all motorists like it. Frankly speaking, bicycles are not as popular here as say, in Europe but I hope that soon they will reach the same popularity.

That’s all I wanted to say.
