2) Means of travel

3) World record holder

4) Sweet in the street

5) On the road

6) A healthy but difficult choice

7) An unusual hobby

8) Conflict over roads

A) The British are enthusiastic about mobility. They think that the ability to travel far and frequently is their right. People can spend up to two or three hours commuting to London or another big city and arrive back at their homes in the countryside only late in the evening. They put up with the long journey because they want their families to avoid the unhealthy lifestyle of big cities.

B) Most journeys to work are made by private road transport. It leads to the pollution so familiar to many big cities, and to traffic jams. Congestion is especially high in Britain because the British do not welcome the idea of ​​building new roads. They don't like living close to them. Each proposal to build a new road is criticized so it's not easy to improve the road situation.

C) Perhaps because the trains were the first means of transport in Britain many people still have a romantic outlook on them. Thousands of train-lovers spend a lot of time looking for information about trains, especially old steam engines. Many enthusiasts spend their free time restoring and repairing old trains. They even earn some money by offering rides to tourists.

D) It is possible to travel between any two towns or cities by either road or rail. In some parts of the country there is a very good rail network but most commercially successful trains run between London and the largest cities in the country. By modern European standards British trains are not fast. Coach services are generally even slower than trains but are much cheaper. It explains why they are still in use.

E)Britain is one of the few countries in Europe where double-decker buses are a common sight. Although single-deckers have been in use since the 1960s, London still has many double-deckers in operation. They are world-famous, an image associated with the city. Another London icon is the black taxi. Normally, these traditional taxis cannot be hired by phone. You simply have to find one on the street.

F)In 1953, most schoolchildren walked to school. For this reason, school crossing patrols were introduced. This ‘patrol’ consists of an adult wearing a bright waterproof coat and carrying a stick with a circle on top of it, which reads ‘STOP’. Armed with this ‘lollipop’, the adult walks out into the middle of the road, stops the traffic and allows the children to cross.

G)On 9 January 2013, the London Underground (or the Tube) celebrated 150 years since the first underground journey. It is both the world's oldest underground railway and the oldest rapid transit system. It was also the first underground railway to operate electric trains. The Underground has 268 stations and 400 km of track, making it the longest metro system in the world by route length.

№10 Read text . Determine which of the given statements correspond to the content of the text (1 - True), which do not correspond (2 - False) and what the text does not say, that is, based on the text, you can not give a positive or negative answer (3 - Not stated) .

Marathons

Many Americans enjoy running marathons – a forty-two kilometer race. More than three hundred marathons were held in the United States last year and that number is expected to grow.

The New York City marathon is held every year on the first Sunday of November. It is a big sporting event with thousands of participants. One can see celebrities and famous sportsmen among the marathon runners. A famous cyclist, whose excellent physical condition helped him complete the marathon in less than three hours, admitted that the race was ‘the hardest physical thing he had ever done’.

While the New York City marathon is the biggest, the Boston Marathon is the oldest one. Boston's is held in April. Boston is famous for the fact that Roberta Gibb became the first woman to unofficially run that marathon in 1966. At that time, people did not believe women could run marathons. The Olympics did not hold a women's marathon event until 1984 in Los Angeles, California.

Today's marathons welcome everyone. The popularity of the sport has spread among people who are interested in health and fitness. Many middle-aged people like to spend a weekend visiting a new city and running a marathon there. Some magazines call the middle-aged people of today the ‘marathon generation’. Forty-three percent of marathon runners in the United States are 40 years old or older. There are many organizations for marathoners. Nowadays many local running clubs offer training programs that can prepare runners for the big race.

A marathon really starts several months before the race. You need to run about five days every week to prepare. Most runs should be for half an hour. You should also try to run for an hour or more each Sunday. This is a very basic way for an average runner to prepare.

What you can't prepare for is running in a big marathon with thousands of other participants. A marathon is in many ways a social event. There is a sense of community. The spectators are as much a part of the race as the runners. Almost every age group is present. At the start of the race there is a lot of shouting as the runners want to release some tension. They have three to five hours of hard running ahead of them.

However, there are people who want to run farther. For them ultra-marathons are organized that take running to a different level. An ultra-marathon is any race longer than a marathon. One of the oldest ultra-marathons is held annually in California, USA. It is 160 kilometers long. Last year, 210 people finished the race. The winner, Graham Cooper, finished in eighteen hours and seventeen minutes.

The ninth planet of the solar system was discovered not long ago. It happened in1930. Scientists had been hunting for the planet for a long time. They had calculated its probable position but there was no proof that the planet really existed. It was too far away for the telescopes of that time to find it. It's worth mentioning that the first photos of the planet were taken by a very young researcher. He was only twenty-four and had no formal education in astronomy. However, he was deeply involved in the search for the ninth planet. The planet at the edge of the solar system was called Pluto, after the Roman god. The name for the planet was suggested by an 11-year-old British girl.

Material Description: I bring to your attention the article "Tips for students or how to successfully pass the exam in English." This article will be useful for 9th grade students who are going to take an English language exam in the form of the GIA according to the texts of the Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. Perhaps my article will be of interest to teachers working in grade 9.

Tips for students or how to successfully pass the exam in English

As you know, the English exam consists of five sections: listening, reading, vocabulary and grammar, writing and speaking. Each section

consists of several tasks, each of which requires its own execution strategy, since the time for completing the written and oral parts of the exam

quite limited. I offer you some tips, following which you can successfully pass the exam.

Section LISTENING

Establishing a place - B1

"You will hear 4 short dialogues, labeled A, B, C and D. In task B1, determine where each of the dialogues occurs ....".

Tip 1- Check out the options.

Tip 2- carefully listen to the recording, try to "hear" - to identify the words that are typical for the proposed places.

Tip 3- during the first listening, mark those options that do not cause you doubts. And also those that you are not very sure about.

Tip 4- during the second listening, clarify your assumptions, if you are still not sure - use the elimination method in order to make your choice.

Establishing a correspondence between the statements of each speaker - B2

“You will hear 5 statements. Match the statements of each speaker A-E with the statements from the list

Tip 1

Tip 2- during the first listening, take notes, look for words that will help you make a choice.

Tip 3- usually the necessary information is located at the beginning of the statement, or at the end.

Tip 4- during the second listening, clarify your options and make a choice.

Choice of correct answer A1-A6

“You will hear the conversation. In tasks A1-A6, circle the number 1,2 or 3 corresponding to the answer you have chosen ... "

Tip 1- carefully read the tasks and sign their translation next to or on the draft.

Tip 2- during the first listening, mark the most suitable option.

Tip 3- usually the tasks are arranged in chronological order, and if it is A1, A2, etc., then the answer should be sought at the beginning of the dialogue.

Tip 4- during the second listening, clarify the information and make the final choice.

BE SURE TO POST YOUR ANSWERS IN THE TABLE!!!

Section READING

Establishing correspondence between headings and text

"Read the text. Set the correspondence between headings A - G and numbered paragraphs of text ... "

Tip 1 Read the titles carefully and write down their translation.

Tip 2- look for clue words, remember that the necessary information is most likely either at the beginning or at the end of the statement.

Tip 3- make a choice in the process of work, do not dwell on the details (if you don’t know the word - skip it), you are interested in the general meaning of the proposed text.

Tip 4- Substitute all the headings and check if they match the content of the paragraphs.

True/ False/ Not stated

"Read the text. Determine which of the statements A7 - A14 correspond to the content of the text (1 - True), which do not

(2 - False) and what the text does not say, that is, on the basis of the text, neither a positive nor a negative answer can be given (3 - Not stated) "

Tip 1 Read the statements and write down their translation.

Tip 2- keep in mind that usually the statements are in chronological order, so the answer to question 1 is most likely in the first paragraph, and so on.

Tip 3- it is very important not to conjecture information, but to look for confirmation of its presence or absence in the text.

Section GRAMMAR and VOCABULARY

Grammar

“Read the text below. Transform the words printed in capital letters at the end of the lines indicated by numbers B4-B12 so that they grammatically correspond to the content of the text ... ".

Tip 1

Tip 2- a noun, most likely, will require a change in number, exceptions are possible. Adjective - degrees of comparison. If the article “the” is used - a superlative degree of comparison, if the union “than” is used - a comparative degree. If a numeral is used, it may need to be converted from quantitative to ordinal. These parts of speech do not require special attention to the content of the text and the corresponding changes can be made by scanning only this sentence. If a pronoun is used, then you need to carefully read the sentence, it will immediately become clear from the context which pronoun should be used.

Tip 3- with the verb, everything is much more complicated:

It is necessary to analyze the previous and subsequent proposals - to determine the pledge, time, etc. and only then make the appropriate changes.

Vocabulary

“Read the text below. Transform the words printed in capital letters at the end of the lines indicated by numbers B13-B18 so that they correspond grammatically and lexically to the content of the text ... "

Tip 1 Determine what parts of speech are words printed in capital letters.

Tip 3- remember the suffixes that form this part of speech, make a word and check it in context. Tip 2 - read the sentence in which the word is missing and determine which part of speech should be used.

REMEMBER - when filling in the gaps, you must use

CAPITAL LETTERS!!!

Section LETTER

C1 - this task involves writing a letter of a personal nature, the task takes 30 minutes, but practice shows that if in grades 8-9 students wrote personal letters at least 2 times a month, then they will need approximately 10-15 minutes for the exam.

Tip 1- read the task carefully, determine who wrote the letter, you will have to write an answer to this person. Underline the questions you will need to answer in your letter.

Tip 2- remember the format of the letter, write your address, date in the upper right corner, do not forget about the appeal and its place in the letter, be sure to thank for the letter and (or) express regret that you did not have the opportunity to answer earlier, or vice versa, the joy of receiving letters. These phrases need to be determined for yourself, it is advisable to learn universal phrases suitable for any situation and use them in your letters. (At least, this is how I “train” my students to successfully complete this type of task)

Tip 3- in the main part, answer all the questions posed in the letter, it is advisable to use linking words, remember to use grammar and vocabulary, but most importantly, do not forget about phrasal verbs, set expressions and phrases with dependent prepositions.

Tip 4- be sure to count the words, while remembering that you need to count the words not at the end, but in the middle of the letter, after writing the main part.

The volume of writing in grade 9 is 100-120 words, I suggest that my students use 105-110 words.

Section SPEAKING

The oral part of the exam involves a monologue on one of the topics and a combined dialogue.

The first task of Task 1 involves checking monologue speech.

Tip 1- when completing the task, you must follow the instructions on the card. Even if the topic seems difficult, you need to carefully read the plan.

Tip 2- the answer plan presented in your card, most often these are questions, by answering which you can build your monologue on the proposed topic.

Tip 3- and if you also use linking words or introductory sentences / phrases, and add your own opinion on this issue, then you will go into a good monologue with the sound of 1-1.5 minutes.

The second task Task 2 involves checking dialogic speech.

Sample task from the demo:

You play the part of an exchange student in an international school in Malta . You come to your classmate Anna/Andrew to borrow her/his Grammar book. You need it to write an essay on a British tourist attraction.

· Ask for the Grammar Book and explain what you need it for.

· Answer your classmate's questions about the attraction you are going to write about.

Do not accept any suggestions for the day as you want to start writing the essay as soon as possible

· Invite your classmate to see a new film tomorrow.

You begin the conversation. The examiner will play the part of your classmate.

Mention all four aspects of the task

Be active and polite

Let's start from the end - be active and polite

Tip 1- be sure to greet the examiner at the beginning of the dialogue, pay attention to the appeal. The task usually offers two female and male names, you must use one of them, depending on the gender of the examiner.

Tip 2- pay attention to the options that you must highlight in your dialogue. In your card they are marked with bold dots.

In the assignment, you must ask for a book to write an essay. What phrases will be useful to you:

Could you give me?

Tip 3- during preparation, sketch out sample questions and answers.

Tip 4- at the end of the dialogue, they usually offer to either accept the examiner's offer or refuse it

How to politely decline an offer:

Sorry, I can't. I am afraid, I can't. I am afraid I can't, maybe tomorrow.

How to politely accept an offer:

Yes, with pleasure. Sure, let's go to the cinema. Thank you for inviting me.

It is necessary to remember about the time, the answer for one student is 6 minutes for both tasks.

WISH YOU GOOD LUCK ON THE EXAM!!!

Greetings, my dear readers.

I know that Russian-speaking students are insanely afraid of passing oral exams. And the oral part of the OGE in English seems completely impossible (not to mention). But believe me, proper and timely preparation is all you need to make sure you get the highest score on the test. Therefore, today we are waiting for a complete analysis of the oral part, as well as examples of tasks with answers.

What is it and what has changed in recent years

The oral part of the test takes only 6 minutes! But in 6 minutes you have to show everything you are capable of. You will be tested for everything: pronunciation and speech speed, ability to understand questions and give a quick and clear answer to them, your ability to conduct an unprepared speech for 2 minutes.

Since 2016, the structure of the oral part has changed radically. You will have to cope with not two, but three tasks: you will need to read the text aloud, answer the dialogue questions, and also make a monologue based on a picture (and maybe without it this year!). Everything seems to be completely different from what it was only 3-4 years ago.

What it consists of and how it goes

The oral part consists, as I said, of 3 parts, which in total take 15 minutes, of which 6 minutes go directly to the answer, and the rest - to preparation.

Did you know that with regular classes 2 times a week with an intelligent tutor, the level of your readiness for the exam after 8 months increases by about 20-30%??? If a high score is important to you, then I highly recommend a good tutor who will help you choose EnglishDom.

  • Part 1 - reading a passage of text.

The task seems easy, right? Especially when you consider that you are given 1.5 minutes to read beforehand. And after that - another 2 minutes to read aloud. You must read clearly, understandably, with the correct pronunciation of sounds and the correct intonation. And you only have 5 chances to make a mistake. After that - points are reduced (that is, you will receive 1 or 0 points from 2 possible!).

Let's take an example(click on image to enlarge).

First of all, pay attention to reading long and short sounds. In red, I underlined the words with long and short [i].

d i fferent,l i ved,h i dden, - here percussive sounds are read as short

p eo ple, bel ie ved,n ee ded, - and here they are read as long

In blue, I underlined the words that have a short and a long [u]

r oo m, t oo ls - here the sound is long

c oul d, p u t - here it is short

In green, I highlighted the words where you can notice the sound [a], but again, they will differ in longitude:

d ar k - long sound

h u nters - short sound

A very important point here is the correct pronunciation of interdental sounds ( words in the text are underlined in yellow), which children so often like to replace with Russian [v, f] or.

sympa th etic, th ey - tongue clamped with teeth and go!

In the yellow boxes, I placed the phrases on which I want to show the differences in intonation. In the first case, we see a special question - and in these types of questions, the intonation should be descending, in other words, it should fall. Listen

The second phrase is an introductory construction, which, firstly, must be separated from the rest of the sentence by a pause, and secondly, read with rising intonation. Listen.

Hope you hear the difference! Observe, my dears, and those who evaluate your answer will give you the highest score with great pleasure!

  • Part 2 - answers to questions.

The task of this part is a dialogue where you will have to answer 6 questions. This part of the test was created in order to check how quickly, correctly and competently a student can use foreign speech.

For each answer to a question, you can get 1 point. If you answer too short where open answers are required, or make a lot of mistakes, you do not get your point for the answer.

What I can advise you is to learn a couple of cliches for those answers where you need to express your opinion or give advice. For example:

In my opinion … - In my opinion…

From my point of view…-Cmypointsvision…

I reckon … - I think …

I advise … - I advise…

You’ d better do ... you better do ...

You should do.... You should do...

In addition, it is important to answer clearly, without going into the wilds and follow the grammatical rules!

So, an example of a task in the format of a question and answer:

How old are you?

— I"m 15 years old.

What's your hobby and why are you interested in it?

- My hobby is swimming. I "m interested in it because I adore swimming - it makes me cheerful and confident.

How much time a week do you spend on your hobby?

- As a rule, I spend on it about 4 hours a week.

What hobbies are the most popular with teenagers nowadays?

- From my point of view the most popular hobbies with teenagers now are computer games and some extreme sports like snowboarding.

Why do you think people take up hobbies?

- In my opinion people take up hobbies in order to find new friends, to get some new skills and just to feel happier.

What would you advise a person who wants to start a hobby?

— You should find a hobby which will give you pleasure. If I were you I would go to the nearest sports club and find out what they offer...

  • Part 3 - a monologue based on a picture.

You will be given 1.5 minutes to prepare this task, and 2 minutes to complete it. Before your eyes you will have a picture ( but it is needed only for support, and not for description! ) and questions to be answered. This task is difficult, to be honest, but it is estimated in whole 7 points.

Note: in 2018, the picture is planned to be removed and only questions remain.

Let's see an example:

-Why do people like traveling.

-What way of traveling do you prefer and why.

-Whether you prefer to be a package tourist or to be a backpacking traveler. why.

My answer would be:

“And now I am going to talk about travelling.

People may travel for different reasons. For one group of people it may be the chance to spend their vacation at a completely different place from the one they are used to. For others it may be the way of living - their lifestyle.

Personally I prefer sight-seeing type of travelling. As I am keen on history I cannot stand the idea of ​​not visiting all the historical places in Europe or Asia. What is more, I prefer traveling by bus as it allows me to spend a lot of time on the road and think about everything I need. Besides, it is much cheaper than traveling by plane.

According to this I may conclude that I am an absolutely backpacking traveler. The idea that you can spend one day in one city and move to another part of the country the following day appeals to me very much.

In the end I would like to say that traveling broadens our minds and gives us an amazing experience we will never forget. Besides, you will be left with unforgettable memories. What can be better?

How to prepare

Preparing for an oral exam is hard work. But finding a simulator for it will not be so difficult. I can recommend the following guides:

  • "English. OGE. oral part. Author - Radislav Milrud.
  • "OGE-2016. English". Author - Yu.A. Veselov.
  • Publisher's books macmillan, about this exam .

Recently, I have been purchasing most of the manuals and textbooks for myself and my students online. There you can always buy cheap and get it quickly. My favorite stores:

The training tasks in these textbooks are selected specifically for the level, and their number is enough for you to practice. What is even more important is that you can buy them in any bookstore (including online stores).

Even easier and, in my opinion, more interesting is to use online OGE simulator (GIA) by LinguaLeo. There you can also find other high-quality and really effective English courses, which I recommend to everyone!

Do not forget, my dears, that I am constantly sharing new tips on how to improve your English and how to better prepare for the exam. Subscribe to my blog newsletter and be the first to know how to succeed on the test. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments!

Until then, I say goodbye.

The workbook is an integral part of the Enjoy English / “English with Pleasure” teaching kit for the 9th grade. The content of the workbook is closely related to the textbook and is aimed at consolidating the material studied in the classroom. The workbook contains exercises designed to develop students' grammatical, lexical and spelling skills, as well as to develop writing, reading and listening skills.

Let's start the task.

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story happened to __________________ when they had to leave their home city, London, during the war.

They __________________ to the house of an old Professor who lived in the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station.

He __________________ a wife and he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper.

He himself was a very old man with white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head. The children liked him almost at once. Only Lucy, who was the __________________ of them, felt a little afraid of him.

On their __________________ evening, after dinner, they said good night to the Professor and went upstairs. It was the largest house they had ever seen, so Peter suggested exploring it in the morning.

When the next morning came, there was a steady rain falling. "I wish the weather __________________ more cheerful!" said Edmund.

"Stop complaining, Ed," said Susan. "I think the weather __________________ soon."

"We were going to explore the house," Peter reminded them. He __________________ a sandwich at the moment and was absolutely happy with the whole situation.

Everyone nodded and at that point their amazing adventures __________________.

This manual is an integral part of the educational and methodical set "English" for grade 9 of the series "Rainbow English" by the authors O. V. Afanasyeva, I. V. Mikheeva, K. M. Baranova. It includes exercises for additional development of the lexical and grammatical material of the textbook.

reasoning

We read the presented texts (this may be one text) in order to have a general idea of ​​​​what is at stake. Then we fill in the blanks.

Number 18. Written personal pronoun THEY, this pronoun is not a subject in the text, therefore, it is necessary to use an object pronoun, namely THEM.

Number 19. Dan verb SEND. First of all, it is necessary to determine in what form the verb should be used: active or passive. While doing the task, we can use the following approaches:

  • First, you can rely directly on the context from which it becomes clear that the children were sent to the old professor's house.
  • Second, the verb SEND is a transitive verb, after which an object is needed, which is not in our sentence, which excludes the active form.

When translating the sentence, it becomes clear that the children could not send the house, which means that the subject THEY is subject to action from another subject or object, it is obvious that the verb must be put in the passive voice. The next step is to determine in which tense form to use the verb, for this we again turn to the context. The first three sentences are used in the simple past tense (Past Simple). Define a time marker. In our case, it is when they had to leave to their home city, London, during the war. Correct form - WERE SENT.

Number 20. The verb NOT/HAVE is given

  1. Context.
  2. Active or passive voice.
  3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice, since the subject he took action. We determine whether the narrative refers to the past tense and in what tense the verbs are used, before and after the gap. Verb lived used in Past Simple, which gives us the right to put this verb at the same time didn't have / did not have. However, in order to emphasize that the actions of one verb obviously occurred before the other, you can put this verb in the Past Perfect ( hadn't had / had not had), which is also a grammatically correct solution to the problem. The sentence uses 2 verbs, where the actions of one obviously occurred before the other, in order to emphasize this fact, we put the verb have in Past Perfect.

Number 21. Given an adjective YOUNG. Before the gap we see the definite article the, which is a marker of the formation of the superlative degree of the adjective. Additional markers are the words of them. From the context it becomes clear that it is necessary to transform the adjective into some form. In our case, this is an excellent form, since the adjective is preceded by a definite article the and additional marker of them (the YOUNGEST of them).

Number 22. Cardinal number ONE, therefore, the only possible form is the ordinal number FIRST.

Number 23. Dan verb BE. Design in the proposal I wish(conditional sentence of type I). It follows from the context that Edmond wanted the weather to be different at the moment he talks about it. In such situations, we use a conditional sentence of type I wish + Past Simple. This construction assumes, regardless of the person, the form of the verb to be (WAS or WERE). Both options are considered correct.

Number 24. Dan verb IMPROVE. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. The context requires the use of the future tense. Phrase I think is an indicator of the grammatical tense of the Future Simple, but does not exclude the use of the construction to be going to, also used to express the future tense. Correct answer - WILL IMPROVE / 'LL IMPROVE / IS GOING TO IMPROVE.

Number 25. Dan verb EAT. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.
2. Active or passive voice.
3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. Presence of a grammar tense indicator at the moment tells us about the need to use the times of the Continuous group, and the presence of the second verb was(Past Simple) requires timing. Correct answer - WAS EATING(Past continuous).

Number 26. Dan verb BEGIN. We carry out the analysis in the traditional way.

1. Context.
2. Active or passive voice.
3. Temporal form of the verb.

From the context, it becomes clear that the verb will be in the active voice. First verb in a sentence NODDED(Past Simple), since events occur sequentially, we again use Past Simple. Correct answer - BEGAN.

Answers to tasks from 18 to 26: 18 - them; 19 - were sent; 20 - did not have/didn't have/had not had/hadn't had; 21 - youngest; 22 - first; 23 - was/were; 24 - will improve / 'll improve / is going to improve; 25 - was eating; 26 - began.

The workbook is part of the "Forward" teaching kit for grade 9 and supplements the textbook with a system of tasks that provide a comprehensive development of skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. The notebook includes tests for self-examination with answers.

Task 2

Read the text below. Transform the words printed in capital letters at the end of the lines indicated by numbers 27-32 so that they correspond grammatically and lexically to the content of the text. Fill in the gaps with the given words. Each gap corresponds to a separate task 27-32.

Methodological hint

This part tests word formation skills. The task in the specification is formulated as “tasks for filling in a gap in a connected text by forming a related word from the proposed key word” using suffixes and prefixes. The key to success in completing this task is two factors: the correct definition of the part of speech that needs to be inserted instead of the gap, and the knowledge of word-forming suffixes and prefixes. We read the text, paying attention to the words before and after the gaps. We determine the missing part of speech, as well as whether the missing word has a negative or affirmative connotation.

People travel a lot nowadays. Planes are considered to be the most __________________ means of transport but for some people airports can be a nightmare.

There are __________________ queues when you check in and you waste lots of time if your flight is delayed.

However, there are some airports where you can __________________ enjoy yourself.

For example, you'll never be bored at Hong Kong's international airport. There are thousands of people from __________________ countries here but the passengers never experience any problems because everything is well organised.

There are attendants in red coats, who help you to get from one place to another. It's very good for people with no sense of __________________.

The attendants are always very polite and __________________.

reasoning

Number 27. Planes are considered to be the most ... The construction of the most requires the use of an adjective after itself. To form an adjective from the word COMFORT, you must add the suffix -ABLE. The correct answer is COMFORTABLE.

Number 28. There are _____queues… In this situation, after the construction There are can be both a noun and an adjective that specifies it. We already have a noun - queues. Accordingly, we add an adjective. The context requires the use of an adjective meaning "infinite". Prefix BES = suffix LESS in English. Correct answer - ENDLESS.

Number 29.…where you can _________enjoy yourself how? It is logical to use an adverb (adjective + LY). We reread the paragraph with the inserted word - the meaning is preserved. Correct answer - ACTUALLY.

Number 30. There are thousands of people from __________ countries… In this situation, the construction There are can be followed by both a noun and an adjective that specifies it. We already have a noun - countries. To from a verb DIFFER to convert the adjective we need to add the suffix -ENT. Correct answer - DIFFERENT.

Number 31.…with no sense of ___________. Sense of direction is a set expression, where direction is a noun. To form from a word DIRECT noun we must add the suffix -ION. Correct answer - DIRECTION.

Number 32. The attendants are always very polite and __________. The context requires the use of a second adjective that carries a positive assessment. To form from a word HELP adjective "responsive" we need to add the suffix - FUL. Correct answer - HELPFUL.

Answers to tasks from 27 to 32: 27 - comfortable; 28 - endless; 29 - actually; 30 - different; 31 – direction; 32 - helpful.

Eating out in America

Eating out in America is an easy and common thing. There are eating places of every sort, informal and small or formal, expensive or inexpensive, and with the food of any country you might like. You choose depending on your purse and mood. If you are going to informal restaurant or café you don't have to make a reservation first. But if you are going to a respectable restaurant it’s a good idea to reserve a table in advance, otherwise you may not get in. When you finally get your table you are given a menu by the waiter or waitress if it is a café. They give you a little time to look it over and then the person waiting on you comes back and takes your order. Typically you would order a salad; lettuce salad is often the only choice, a main course, and a desert. When you are ready to leave you ask for the bill. Americans often pay with a credit card. After the waiter brings back the receipt you put a 15% on the tray in cash, as tips.

The exercise crazy

Old and young, men and women are jogging, dancing, jumping up and down, bending and stretching. Exercise is in fashion. Everybody wants to be fit, feel good, look slim, and stay young. It started with jogging. Millions of Americans put on their new colored sports shoes and fashionable jogging suits and ran through the parks or along the streets for half an hour a day. Then the joggers got the marathon craze. Popular marathons are now held everywhere. Lots of people want to see if they can run 42 kms and do it faster than everyone else. The big city marathons, in London and New York, are important sporting events. Television cameras and newspapers report them in detail. Some remarkable people take part in the marathons: seventy-five year old grandfathers and nine year old grandchildren, and even disabled in wheelchairs. But marathons are not for everyone. Some prefer to get fit at home. For them, there's a big choice of books, cassettes and video programmers with music and instructions. Sometimes the action is more like dancing than exercises. That's why one big company calls it ‘Dancercise’. Taking exercise is only one part of keeping fit. You've got to get slim too. Books and magazines about slimming are bestsellers and these days.

Most British and American state schools provide their students with the option to eat lunch at school, but do they provide them with the option to eat well? Jamie Oliver is one of Britain's most popular stars. He's a young cook whose TV and cookery programs are watched by millions. In his last TV series, he tried to make British school dinner both eatable and healthy. He showed just how poor many school diets were. Many of them contained too many fats and carbohydrates and not enough vitamins. His campaign to get tastier and healthier school meals called Feed me better has caused politicians to take the problem seriously and promise to improve the quality of food on school dinner plates. Obesity is on the increase in all western countries. The biggest causes are bad diet and people being less active than they were in the past. Some people allege that schools also make the problem worse because they allow the sale of fizzy drinks and sugary snacks in school tuck shops and vending machines. Other people believe that advertising is to blame. UK politicians are promoting a voluntary agreement to stop junk food advertising at times when younger children watch the television.

    Tea means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, and, of course, a cup of tea. Cream teas are popular. You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream and jam.

    A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal- sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms. But nowadays many people just have cereal with milk and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam or honey. Marmalade and jam are not the same. Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made from other fruit. The traditional breakfast drink is tea, which people have with cold milk. Some people have coffee, often instant coffee, which is made with hot water. Many visitors to Britain find this coffee disgusting.

    British like food from other countries, too, especially Italian, French, Chinese and Indian. People often get take-away meals. You buy the food at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international.

    On Sunday many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat, either feef, lamb, chicken or pork, with potatoes, vegetables and gravy. Gravy is a sauce made from the meat juices.

    For many people lunch is a quick meal, in cities there are a lot of sandwiches bars, where office workers can choose the kind of bread they want-brown, white or a roll-and then all sorts of salad and meat or fish to go in the sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold. School children can have a hot meal at school, but many just take a snack from home.

    The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually have it quite early, between 6 and 8 p. m., and often the whole family eats together.
