Авторская программа "Подготовка выпускников 11 классов к сдаче устной части ЕГЭ по английскому языку в рамках элективного курса"

Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have

found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this

text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be

ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Colours do not exist. When your eye receives light, it sends messages to your mind. And your mind translates these messages into colours which vary according to the wavelengths of the light.You are all aware of the strange tricks your mind can play on you. It’s not surprising that when it translates your eyes’ messages into colours, it adds other messages. Colours become linked with memories, associations, emotions and natural body reactions. Green begins to mean trees and leaves; red  reminds you of fire.Perhaps this is why, over the centuries and throughout the world, colours have been given special significance and magical properties. Every colour has a superstition associated with it. The great abstract artists of this century studied the psychological effect of colours. And recently scientists have begun to discover that colours can deeply influence our lives.


Task 2. Study the advertisement.

You are considering buying iPhone 4 and you want to call to the shop.

In 1.5 minutes you are to ask five direct questions to find out

the following:

1) dates when it starts

2) where it could be bought

3) if there are some new options

4) what colours are available

5) discounts

You have 20 seconds to ask each question

Task 3. Imagine that while travelling during your holidays you took some

photos. Choose one photo to present to your friend.

You will have to start speaking in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more

than 2 minutes (12–15 sentences). In your talk remember to speak about:

 when you took the photo

 what/who is in the photo

 what is happening

 why you took the photo

 why you decided to show the picture to your friend

You have to talk continuously, starting with:

"I’ve chosen photo number … ".

Task 4. Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and

contrast the photographs:

 give a brief description of the photos (action, location)

 say what the pictures have in common

 say in what way the pictures are different

 say which of the concerts presented in the pictures you’d prefer
