Task 3. Sample Answer

Task 3. Imagine that these are photos from your photo album. 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:

∙ where and when the photo was taken

∙ what/who is in the photo

∙ what is happening

∙ why you keep the photo in your album

∙ why you decided to show the picture to your friend

You have to talk continuously, starting with: “I’ve chosen photo number … “

This is how the task is formulated. Your photo description should include:

  • Introduction.
  • The main part.
  • Conclusion.

The phrase “I’ve chosen photo number…” is not an introduction. It is necessary so that the expert can evaluate your answer. Don’t forget to pronounce it; the expert has no right to speculate. You are describing a photograph for a friend, and you are addressing him.

Introduction. Decide on the theme of the photo.

For example:

You know that I keep photos of my school life in my album. I have lots of them. This one shows how we celebrated the Day of our Motherland Defender.

Main part. It was taken on the eve of the 23 rd of February last year. The students gathered in the assembly hall. You can see that the walls are decorated with posters. We are waiting for the concert to start. You can hardly see any faces because the students are looking at the posters trying to decide which of them is the best one. My friends and I made the poster which is on the left. We are all wearing our school uniforms. The general atmosphere in the picture is positive. The reason I keep this photo is because I like comparing decorations that we make for celebrating different holidays at school.

I decided to show you this photo because you have never been in my school.Why don’t we go to the concert together next time?

Conclusion. Looking through photo albums is a pleasant thing.

This is not to say that such a picture is easy to describe. Most likely, the exam will present photos, to describe which you will need the following prepositions and phrases with them:

  • at the top
  • at the bottom
  • in the background
  • in the foreground
  • in the middle
  • on the left
  • on the right
  • I’d like you to see the photo that was taken last_____ / _________ years ago.
  • I remember that day very well.
  • He (she, they) is (are) in his (her, their) twenties.
  • He (she, it, they) is (are) in (at) (a, the) … (café, city, mountains, garden, park, forest, wood, meadow, bus, lesson, classroom, home, seaside, … ).
  • As you see, he (she) looks ... .
  • She (he, it, they) is (are) wearing …
  • As the people are wearing warm coats and caps, it is probably late autumn (summer winter, spring).
  • The weather is…
  • In this photo you can see a man / some people __________ ing _______________.
  • The man is / The people are ________________. They are wearing _____________.
  • In the foreground there is a __________. He is ________ ing ____________.
  • The people in the background are __________ ing ___________.
  • The weather in the picture is ____________________________________________
  • The general atmosphere in the picture is positive/depressing/tense/crazy_________ .
  • The reason I keep this photo is because I was surprised/amazed/shocked/amused by

________________________ __ .

  • It’s nice to record the impression _____________________________________
  • I keep this photo because I had never seen anything like that before.
  • I decided to show it to you to share my emotions/impressions/experiences.
  • I decided to show you this photo because it was the brightest moment of that trip /event/concert/holiday/day...
  • I decided to show you this photo because the child/children remind(s) me of myself when I was his/her/their age.
  • The picture makes me think about the time when we were___________________________
  • Why don’t we go there together some day?
  • I think we could do something like that here in Moscow.
  • I can't wait to go there again. Would you like to keep my company?
  • I wish you were there with me.

Here are some more tips:

  • Don't describe the photo in too much detail, but be sure to touch on its theme.
  • Build the statement in accordance with the proposed plan in order to ensure the logic of the statement. Remember to use logical communications(and, but, too, then, so, that’s why, nevertheless etc).
  • Consistently reveal the content of each item of the plan.
  • Offer extensive argumentation when necessary.
  • Do not give excessive information, commenting in detail on each point of the plan, as you may not have enough time.
  • Show a variety of vocabulary. Use more adjectives.
  • Don't forget to express your opinion about the photo and its subject at the end of your statement.

So as not to miss new ones useful materials,

Exercises ( exercises) in English– this is the main way to consolidate learned information and repeat previously covered. We definitely practice all the theory in exercises, since it is the repeated use certain rules in practice and gives a positive result, leaving information regarding the English language in our memory.

With English exercises you can check how well you remember; how easily a person navigates; how quickly he is able to think logically and compose certain phrases and expressions, etc. There are many areas of application for English exercises. Accordingly, exercises can be completely different, depending on what function they perform and what result they are aimed at. Even if you decide to teach or sign up for courses, the teacher will definitely give you exercises to reinforce the material or test your level of knowledge.

Just ten to fifteen years ago, we studied English using textbooks of “our own” production, that is, those published in our country by our authors and publishers. In other words, people who have learned English have studied pedagogy and teaching methods. The material in the textbooks was presented at state language, be it Russian or Ukrainian.

Currently, almost all English language teaching, with the exception of some schools, is conducted on the basis of English-language training courses developed and published by foreign publishers, for example, such world-famous ones as Oxford And Cambridge. All information in such textbooks is presented in English, not only exercises, but also tasks ( instructions) to these exercises. And this fact confuses those who simply do not have the vocabulary base to understand what exactly needs to be done in this English exercise. I hasten to please you: English exercises are of the same type, therefore, having studied certain vocabulary and memorized certain types of tasks, you can easily perform any English exercise from any source, if, of course, your level of language proficiency allows you to do so.

Also choose a teacher who has already worked with children in this area. Do not think that you have enough lessons at school to successfully pass the Unified State Exam.

Total allowance for the exam 160 minutes.

Unified State Exam results for previous years

The most difficult section to complete is “Vocabulary and Grammar”. In general, the work has the lowest percentage of completion in lexical tasks. It is A22-A28. Practice has shown that it is difficult for graduates to use modified verb forms and tense agreement.

And in 2009 they removed it from the Unified State Examination "Burning". Probably, this situation arose as a result of the fact that many who took the Unified State Exam abandoned this section immediately after they began to answer it.

And now some advice regarding all sections of the Unified State Exam.

Listening

  • listen carefully! After all, such a trick is often used when they first say one answer and then correct it differently;
  • you need to read the assignment carefully;
  • look at the endings of what you wrote and try to find possible minor errors;
  • if you didn’t hear something, don’t panic, you will have the opportunity to listen again;
  • if you don’t know how to answer a question, answer at least something, but the main thing is to answer;
  • if they speak too quickly, don’t get upset, try to relax and then it will be easier for you to perceive the information.

Reading

  • if you are not familiar with the topic discussed in the text, do not worry, because in order to find the answers in the text, you do not need special knowledge;
  • if you are given tasks in which you need to insert words or phrases instead of gaps, read the sentence before and after the gaps, try to guess what exactly is missing;
  • don’t get hung up on one question, you can always return to it, but in the meantime, move on to others;
  • you always need to read the entire text to understand the meaning;
  • if you don't know the answer to a question, try to guess it;
  • When preparing for the Unified State Exam, read as many texts of different styles as possible.

Written assignment

  • it is worth writing about the same thing only in different words;
  • don't go off topic;
  • do not use the same vocabulary as in the task. Choose synonyms for words;
  • keep track of time;
  • do not write more than necessary, because this may indicate that you have written a lot of unnecessary things;
  • Remember that you need to take the time to re-read what you have written and, if necessary, correct any errors you find.

Vocabulary and grammar

  • if you need to insert a word, try to determine in what number and form it should be;
  • if you don’t know the correct answer, don’t leave any blanks anyway, look for the answer by contradiction;
  • check your spelling.

Speaking

This section was not included in the Unified State Exam 2010, but it is still worth knowing the tips for this part.

  • if you are unclear about a task, ask the examiner about what is unclear;
  • use as many words as possible, show your vocabulary;
  • you must understand that you are required to express your personal opinion and not discuss the topic with professionalism;
  • Perhaps you will forget a word, in this case there is no need to get lost, you can replace it with another word.;
  • You should be aware that this section is not intended for you to demonstrate that you can construct sentences correctly. You need to demonstrate communication skills.

Work program for the Enjoy English educational complex (basic level) for grades 10-11. Available for viewing and free download.

Methodical hint

Read the assignment carefully and familiarize yourself with the presented plan. You have 1 minute 30 seconds to prepare for this task. It takes 2 minutes to complete it (that is, describe the photo). Select one of the photographs offered for description. When choosing, be guided not by what kind of photo you like, but by how familiar you are with the topic and vocabulary on it, and how much you can describe in it. The choice should not take more than three seconds.

Important! The proposed plan does not indicate an introduction and conclusion, but they must be present, since you are asked to make a coherent, complete description of the photograph, which in itself presupposes the presence of an introductory and final part.

For the introduction and conclusion, as well as for answers to the first, fourth and fifth questions, you can prepare several templates in advance that can be easily and quickly modified depending on the photo. Thus, you can spend the bulk of the time (about a minute out of one and a half) allotted for preparation on describing the photo itself, that is, who and what is in the photo (second point of the plan) and what is happening in it (third point of the plan) . Some tips:
1. It’s always easier to talk about people you know, so imagine that the photos are of your friends or relatives, determine what kind of family connections you have, and give the people names.
2. When describing the photograph itself, it would be advisable to divide it into parts and describe first what is in the background (in the background), then on the sides (on the left / right side), gradually moving towards the center or foreground (in the center of/in the foreground). Don't forget that if the photo was taken outside, you can always say a few words about the weather.
3. When describing the people in the photograph, you can say about their age and appearance, what they are wearing, what emotions they experience.
4. Next we describe what is happening in the photograph. For this we use present time Continuous. Sometimes, for some reason, there is practically no action in the photo. It is necessary to mention this, explaining the reason. It is enough to name three actions.

The description of the photograph as such (that is, the answer to the second and third points of the plan) should take up approximately half of the total time, the second half should include the introduction and conclusion and the answer to points 1, 4, and 5 of the plan.

Important! Remember that this is not a story about what was happening in your life or in the lives of your relatives/friends at the time the photo was taken, but a description of what is happening in the photo.

Approximate completion of task 1

I"ve chosen photo number 1. (Introduction) You know, taking photos is my hobby, and I always take a lot of photos wherever I go. I keep the best photos in my family album. (Question 1 of the plan) I took this photo last summer in the forest near our country house when we had a family reunion. (Question 2 of the plan). general information according to the picture). The day is nice, it is sunny and not windy. In the background you can see a forest with tall trees and bushes and in the foreground there is green grass. There are some children in the center of the picture - they are all my relatives. They are all quite young. The oldest girl is 6. She is my sister Olga. She is at the front of the group. And the youngest one is my nephew Nikolay who is just behind Olga. They are all wearing light clothes-T-shirts and shorts as it is very warm. They all look very happy and excited as they are playing together. They are running after a ball trying to kick it.

Task 4. Comparing two photographs, identifying commonalities and differences.

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 professions presented in the pictures you’d prefer
  • explain why

You will speak for not more than 2 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.

When performing this task, remember the following:

You have 1 minute 30 seconds to prepare for this task and 2 minutes to complete it.

Just like in the third task (description of a photograph), when completing task 4, you need to make an introduction and conclusion before you proceed directly to the answer according to the plan. The introduction consists of one or two sentences on the general topic revealed in the photographs (the fourth paragraph of the plan can suggest the topic) and one sentence telling what you will do now. If the topic is not formulated in any way, one last sentence is enough. In conclusion, to summarize what has been said, we need to return to the topic again (one or two sentences).

In response to the first point of the plan, a very brief description of each photograph is sufficient. It is necessary to say for each picture what is happening and where. And you can add one general sentence about what is in the first and second photographs.

When we reveal the second and third points of the plan, we need to find two common features and two differences. Both common features and differences should be of a general nature. Point number 4 of the plan can help not only with the introduction, but also with significant common features and differences, because they are also related to the main theme of the photographs.

When answering the fourth point of the plan, it is enough to rearrange the word order of the phrase I"d prefer the ...... (Profession) presented in the picture number indicated in the plan....... You cannot say I"d prefer the picture number. ... because it does not correspond to the task. You cannot say “I"d prefer to be in the picture number...., since this is incorrect in meaning - we cannot be in the picture. In the fifth point of the plan, you need to justify your choice made before this with 2-3 detailed sentences (point 4).

Don’t forget that task 4 is structurally close to the essay format, so it is necessary to use linkers (conjunctive words) when listing common features and differences. For example, Firstly, /Secondly,..... Or To begin with, -Furthermore, (Moreover,....What is more....). In conclusion/To conclude....-in conclusion.

Before listing the general features, it is necessary to say that you will now talk about general features. For example, Both pictures have some features in common. Before moving on to the differences, this also needs to be mentioned. For example, however, there are some differences.

When comparing, phrases or verbs expressing assumptions will sound good. For example, they could be designers. They must be in the office. They seem to be teenagers. They look like young employees. ......

Differences should not repeat common features. With an approximate time schedule, the introduction and response to the first and second points of the plan should not take more than one minute.

Example of task 4

(In modern society there is a great variety of different professions. People try to choose one according to their taste and abilities. And these two pictures show this. - this part of the introduction need not be said) Now I"d like to compare and contrast these two photographs. In the first picture there is a young teacher explaining something to the pupils in front of her. In the second photo there are two people who look like designers studying what might be a project in their office. Both pictures have some similarities. Firstly, the most striking common feature is that both pictures show people engaged in doing jobs. Secondly, people are interested in what they are doing. differences. To begin with, in the first picture we can see the profession which presupposes working with people - the teacher is teaching pupils on her own, other people are not included in the process Whereas in the second picture there is a profession which involves. doing the job with co-workers. Moreover, in the first picture the classroom is practically empty except for a blackboard and some desks while the second picture depicts an office with a lot of furniture, models and whiteboards. I would prefer the profession presented in picture number one as I think it is a very challenging but rewarding job. Besides I love working with people, especially children and I have always been good at teaching my friends and my younger sister"s friends some things.
