В сборник входят более 100 вариантов ответов в рамках тем, определённых ФГОС-ами для освоения программы английского языка в средней школе. Согласно заданию, каждое высказывание должно содержать минимально 10—12 предложений. Однако предлагаемые варианты в целом превышают это количество и являются избыточными. Это позволяет педагогам и ученикам подбирать удобные тексты и составлять свои собственные шаблоны. Уменьшение объёма текста и упрощение конструкции предложений представляют собой более простую задачу, чем увеличение и усложнение. По каждой теме, в помощь к уже составленным вариантам предлагаются дополнительные наборы слов и фраз. Из них ученику несложно будет выбрать знакомые варианты и составить легко запоминающийся текст. Таким образом достигается максимальная экономия времени на подготовку к этому сложному заданию.
Каждый вариант ответа содержит текст задания, тему и 4 вопроса, как это будет на экзамене. По некоторым темам существуют разные наборы вопросов, например, «Школа», «Путешествия», «Каникулы». Соответственно, для каждого есть отдельный вариант ответа. Добавлены темы по истории страны, патриотизму и искусственному интеллекту.
Ниже приведена детализация установленного ФГОС основного общего образования тематического содержания речи. Детализация проведена на основе федеральной образовательной программы основного общего образования.
СОДЕРЖАНИЕ
ANIMALS
You are going to give a talk about animals. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences).
Remember to say:
– what wild animals live in your region;
– whether it is a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet, and why;
– why people build zoos in cities and towns;
– what your attitude to zoos is.
You have to talk continuously.
Now I am going to talk about animals.
* You know I live in the region where you can see wild boars, moose, foxes, wolves, hares, black grouse, ducks, and beavers. There are a lot of forests around. So those animals live in the woods and near rivers.
* In my opinion, it is not a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet. Even if you take it as a little one, it has natural instincts and can react as a wild animal one day. It is simply dangerous. Moreover, you can threaten other people around you in this case.
* I think people build zoos in cities because they cannot see wild animals around anymore. It is a sort of keeping connection with nature and a way to show children how real animals look like. Otherwise, kids can read about them only in books.
* My attitude to zoos is negative. They do not help people become more intelligent and learn more about the animals. On the other hand, they take a lot of resources and space in the cities. Also, the animals in cages suffer, too. Their life has nothing to do with real wilderness. That’s the way it goes.
That’s all I wanted to tell you about animals.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
You are going to give a talk about artificial intelligence. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).
Remember to say:
● what AI means;
● why AI applications are so popular;
● why AI is considered to dangerous;
● what your attitude to AI is.
You have to talk continuously.
Now I am going to give a talk about artificial intelligence.
* To tell the truth. AI is a complicated software that provides you with the information. AI finds, collects, shapes, and transforms information from global sources according to your inquiry. AI can solve maths problems, write programme code, correct your mistakes, compose an essay or image. In fact, it is a sort of librarian, who instantly finds the book you need. Or is it a browser that similarly finds the information, when you enter a search query in the browser line.
* Of course, AI is so popular because it makes its work very quickly and accurately. It saves time dramatically. The results are very impressive. Students use AI for preparing assessment and even graduation thesis. So many educational tests and projects must be changed. Meanwhile, many people find it helpful because it can substitute employees in many jobs. That kind of thing.
* It goes without saying that probable unemployment threatens millions of people in the world. That’s why AI is considered dangerous. The ideas of creating an artificial brain or a thinking machine are baseless. There will be no fight between humans and robots. The threat of using AI in wars and weapons is more likely. And that threat is more dangerous than any others.
* My attitude to AI is not bad or good. It exists and develops. AI helps in medicine a lot. The problem is how to use it and who does that. I do hope that AI will bring a huge revolution in the history of mankind. Human civilization will flourish by amplifying human intelligence with artificial intelligence, as long as we manage to keep the technology beneficial.
That’s all I wanted to tell you about artificial intelligence.
BLOGGING
You are going to give a talk about your attitude to blogging. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not 2 minutes – 10—12 sentences.
Remember to say:
• why blogging is so popular among teenagers;
• what bloggers show and tell their followers;
• whether blogging could become your career in future and why;
• what your attitude to blogging is.
You have to talk continuously.
Now I am going to tell you about blogging. This online activity has caught on recently so much that almost everyone wants to be a blogger, I think.
* In my opinion blogging is so popular among teenagers because they want to become famous and recognisable like their favourite celebrities. Also, it’s an easy, fast, and convenient way to share your posts, photos, impressions, music. Doing in this way, teens often find friends and like-minders.
