Task 3. 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.

You have to talk continuously.

I’d like to give a talk about my school holidays. We’ve got holidays four times a year: in winter, spring, summer and autumn. 

The longest holidays are in summer and I’d like to have spring holidays a little bit longer. In my opinion, spring is the best time to have a rest before the final exams. 

Frankly speaking, my favourite holidays are in summer. I usually go to the language camp and celebrate my birthday in June, then I visit my grandma in July and prepare for the new school year in August. 

By the way, I spent my last summer holidays making domestic trips. I was in the Crimea and visited Saint Petersburg with its beautiful palaces, bridges and parks. Moreover, I didn’t forget about self-education. I read, went to museums and theatres, did some sports and learnt something new. Speaking about other school holidays I want to say some words about autumn holidays. I really like autumn. It is rich in different bright colours and that’s why I usually take photos of autumn trees. Secondly, I love sitting in a café drinking coffee on a rainy day. 

As a conclusion, I want to say that school holidays are the best time both for students and teachers. It’s time to have a good rest and to prepare for the next term or the new school year. 

Task 3. 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; 

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

• what places in Russia you would like to visit;

• what your attitude to travelling is. 

 I’d like to give a talk about travelling. I think people like travelling because it’s a good way to see how people live abroad and learn their national culture. Moreover, most people want to have heart-warming memories and lead happy life. 

You can use any means of transport when you travel. It can be a plane, a train, a cruise ship or just a car. All depends on your goals, wishes and possibilities. I prefer travelling by plane because it’s safe for me and I can move fast long distances. By the way, I don’t mind travelling by car. You can stop wherever you want to take a break and enjoy nature. As a fact, the car is more suitable for domestic trips. 

There are many places in Russia that I want to visit. I’ve gone to the seaside many times but I’ve never been to mountains. That’s why I’d like to visit the Altai Mountains, the Urals and the Caucasus Mountains. I think they are the most magnificent places in Russia. 

So, travelling is expensive but it gives fun experiences and unforgettable impressions. That’s all that I wanted to tell you about travelling.

Remember to say:

• why most people enjoy travelling; 

• what people like doing while travelling;

I’d like to talk about travelling. I think most people enjoy travelling because it’s a good way to see how people live abroad and learn their national culture. Moreover, most people want to have heart-warming memories and lead happy life. 

Travel involves actions, so people usually walk. If they come to the seaside, they swim. If people go to mountains, they just climb them. So, there are many activities that you can do during your travel. As for me, I prefer going on guided [ˈgaɪdɪd] tours or visit national museums. I also like sightseeing.

So, travelling is expensive but it gives fun experiences and unforgettable impressions. That’s all that I wanted to tell you about travelling. 

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about reading books. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say: 

• 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’d like to give a talk about reading books. In my opinion, reading books isn’t very popular among teenagers nowadays. This is because they are more interested in watching films or playing computer games. But I can’t consider myself one of those teenagers. I’m fond of reading books. 

I prefer novels, detectives and non-fiction. My favourite story is called ‘Fahrenheit 451’ by Ray Bradbury. It is about a society in which it is forbidden to read books and self-educate. 

That’s a fact that many people prefer e-books to paper ones because of the volume of digital storage. It can also save the environment because it prevents from using much paper and deforestation. 

As a conclusion I want to say that I can't imagine my life without reading. It trains my brain and develops abstract thinking.
