Dialogue A
A: Oh, it's so nice to see you! How was the flight?
B: Fine, but it was a long one.
A: I bet it was. The flight from Australia can't have been short. And you arrived almost an hour later than was scheduled.
B: Yeah. It was because of the delay in Hong Kong. The weather was awful…
A: I see. But it's all over and you're here at last. Let me help you with your luggage.
B: Thanks.

Dialogue B
A: Excuse me, can I have the key to room 209?
B: Yes, here it is.
A: And one more thing.
B: Yes?
A: I'm checking out tomorrow at noon. Can I leave my suitcase in the luggage room till 5 or 6 pm?
B: Yes, you can, no problem.

Dialogue C
A: I'm sorry, but food and drinks are not allowed in the reading room.
B: Sorry, I just wanted to have a sandwich… but I’m already putting it back into my bag. By the way, where can I find something on the history of aviation? I'm writing a report on it.
A: The books on that topic are displayed over there, next to the exit table. But if you need something specific, I would advise you to use our electronic catalog. It's there, in the corner of the room.
B: Yes, I will. thank you.

Dialogue D
A: Excuse me, I'm looking for a Sports Goods shop…
B: Oh, there’s one on this floor - it sells sportswear of all kinds, and’ the other one is on the ground floor - it offers different sports equipment, sleeping bags, tents and so on.
A: Thank you. I need a good sports bag.
B: To the ground floor then. You can't miss it - it's next to the cafeteria and there is a large poster advertising sports gear.

You will hear five statements (A, B, C, D, E). Match each speaker's statements with the statements given in list 1-6. Use each statement from list 1-6 only once. There is one extra statement in the assignment.

play Listening task 2

2. The speaker explains what jobs are most popular with students.
3. The speaker talks about difficulties in making a career choice.
4. The speaker talks about his/her personal work experience.
5. The speaker believes that teenagers should earn their pocket money themselves.
6. The speaker explains how to find a job for summer.

E-4

Speaker A
When I was a small child, I felt irritated when adults asked me about what I wanted to become in the future. They are still asking. It's irritating, probably because I don't know the answer. I have no idea what job is right for me and I'm afraid of making the wrong choice. Dad says that I should do different summer or part-time jobs in order to understand what I want. And what if I don't understand it then? I don't mind working in the summer but I don't know what temporary job to apply for.

Speaker B
I've always known what I want to do as a career. No, I'm not making ambitious plans about becoming an ingenious scientist, or an astronaut, or a famous actor. I want to work with small children as there's nothing better than helping the curious explore the world. Working in an infant school would be very rewarding. It wouldn't actually be a job for me - it would be a privilege because I'd be enjoying every minute of it. If you say it would be difficult - yes, it would be, but it would never get boring.

Speaker C
Lots of teenagers want to get a summer job but not everyone gets one. The most common mistake is that they start looking for a job when the holidays are in full swing. The job search takes time and you should start it months before the holidays. First, make up a list of jobs you would like to do, then find out about the requirements and contact the employers. If you suit each other, leave your information and discuss the date when you are ready to start.

Speaker D
There are usually lots of opportunities for young people to earn money for things like snacks and drinks, outings and accessories. There are always plenty of vacancies for seasonal workers, waiters, couriers, cleaners etc. Being a full-time student is not an excuse to avoid getting a job. I really don’t think that teenagers can understand the value of money and appreciate their families’ care and support until they start working themselves.

Speaker E
I think that doing temporary and part-time jobs does young people lots of good. I had my first summer job at the age of fifteen. I worked as a pizza seller in a fast-food cafe for two months. I still remember how difficult it was - there were always lots of people, it was hot and my legs and arms hurt. Since then I've worked as a courier, as a seasonal worker (picking apples and cherries) and as a landscape worker.

You will hear a conversation between two classmates. In tasks 1-6, circle the number 1, 2 or 3 corresponding to your choice of answer.

Sally: Are you OK Zach? Hey Zach!

Zach: Oh, it's you, Sally. I was daydreaming.

Sally: You were sleeping, not daydreaming! Did you play computer games all night again?

Zach: Yes, how did you guess?

Sally: That's easy. Your eyes are red, your reactions are slow, and you look sleepy! And your homework isn't done.

Zach: OK, you're right. Just a new game. I couldn't quit before I reached the fifth level. You wouldn't understand as you don't care about computers.

Sally: Why, I do, but I'm not a geek. I have more important things to do than play games for hours.

Zach: Really? And what are you busy with all day long?

Sally: Well, I start with walking my dog. At 8 o'clock sharp I have to be at the picking up point for the school bus. Mum used to drive me to school, but now she's very busy with my little brother, so I have to go by bus.

Zach: I see. Babies are always trouble.

Sally: No, not at all! He's a little darling and I love him! Twice a week, when I don't take my music lessons, I babysit for my mum so that she can read the economic news . She's got a university degree and worked for a financial firm but she had to quit it because of my brother's poor health. She's planning to go back to her career and has to be well informed about everything.

Zach: Yeah, that's important to stay in the profession. And it's nice of you to help her so much. But how do you manage to do your own lessons then?

Sally: The main thing is not to put off the assignments till the very last moment.

Zach: I always put them off...

Sally: And it's important to start with the most difficult subjects - I always do Maths first. Languages and other humanities are easier so French goes the last.

Zach: I see. I find Maths the most difficult, too. And I'm really impressed with your ability to plan your day and stick to the plan. I never do anything on time… I even had to give up my guitar lessons… Do you play an instrument?

Sally: The drums. Mum wanted me to choose the piano, but I think drums are cooler.

Zach: They certainly are. There're lots of people who play the piano but very few drummers. By the way, my friends are looking for a drummer for their band. Are you interested?

Sally: Well…, yes. What sort of music do they play?

Sally: I see. I prefer pop music too. We learn about other music styles in music classes, like jazz, rock and classical, but you can’t dance to them.

Zach: True. I can introduce you to the guys. You'll really need my recommendation as no girl's ever played with them. It's always been an all-boy pop band.

Sally: It won't be any more.

Zach: We'll see.

READING

Read the texts and match between texts A-G and headings 1-8. Record your answers in a table. Use each number only once. There is one extra title in the assignment.

1. My accommodation in Rome
2. New friends
3. Getting the job
4. The working day
5. Plans for next summer
6.Language experience
7. The top tourist attraction
8. General impressions of the country

A) I’ve just returned from Italy, and it was the most beautiful working holiday anyone could dream of. Yes, I saw the Colosseum with my own eyes! It was built in the first century AD - the amphitheater could house as many as 50,000 people. It's difficult to imagine the gladiators fighting there and the public watching the cruel show. There were also fights with lions. Fortunately, there are no lions in the Colosseum now - only cats. And there are a lot of them!

B) The Colosseum was the first thing I wanted to see in Rome, but not the only one that impressed me. I used my camera a lot - Italy is a country with a great cultural heritage. Apart from the views, Italy is a country of delicious food - I’ve never eaten such gorgeous pizzas! I’d have certainly put on some weight if I hadn’t had to walk such a lot - we were saving on transport because Italy is an expensive country.

C) It took us thirty-five minutes every morning to get from the hostel where we were staying to the pizzeria we were working. Our room was very small, it had a poor view, just the house opposite, but that wasn't a problem - we didn't spend much time there anyway. We had only the basics in our room - two beds, hangers for clothes, a little table and one chair. There was a laundry downstairs and a shared kitchen to prepare meals.

D) As for the kitchen, we didn't use it much - we ate at work! Our working day started at 9 am and lasted till 9 pm. We had a long siesta (a break between two and five in the afternoon) which we used for sightseeing in spite of the heat. And in the evening there were usually lots of customers and we had to be quick and attentive so as not to confuse their orders. We felt absolutely exhausted when we came home.

E) Anyway we felt privileged to have got the job. It was Anna, my best friend, who suggested working holidays in Italy. She found the vacancies and sent our CVs to the manager. At first I didn't know what to say as I wasn't sure I wanted to work in summer. But on the other hand, the idea of earning my own money and seeing Italy was very attractive.

F) I'm glad I agreed to Anna's suggestion - we enjoyed living in a new country and meeting new people. Italians are very sociable and easy-going. Our fellow workers showed us lots of interesting places and it was fun to explore the country together. Anna and I really hope that they'll come to Britain one day and we'll be able to show them our country too. We are going to keep in touch.

G) We didn't know Italian when we went there. Some people in the pizzeria spoke English and they helped us a lot. Two weeks later we were able to understand what the customers were asking us about and we spoke basic Italian to them. Italian is beautiful - I like how it sounds and it's not at all difficult. We plan to go on learning it in case we want to work in the pizzeria again.

The Dolphins Team

The Dolphins is a relatively new beach service that has been in operation for three years so far, and we are growing fast. The tourist business in the region is booming. More and more people are coming to the Southern Beach every year and our services are in great demand.
We provide a variety of services to the beachgoers. We lend them beach equipment like parasols and beach chairs, we arrange boat tours, snorkelling and diving expeditions. However, first, and foremost, The Dolphins help swimmers who are in danger. We've got a highly professional rescue team. Last year we were awarded first prize in the national lifeguard competition in which the best teams of the country took part. Being a lifeguard is a job, not entertainment as some people may think. Anyone who wants to join us has to remember that the duty of a lifeguard is not only to be on watch and save careless holidaymakers but to prevent any dangerous situation for them.
Not only excellent physical condition but strong personal skills are necessary as beachgoers are not always very cooperative. Everyone knows that lifeguards fly flags of different colors: the green one indicates that the sea is calm and there’s no danger for swimmers; the yellow flag means that the weather conditions are not very good - swimmers should be very careful and not go too deep. The red flag indicates that the situation is potentially dangerous and swimming is prohibited. It doesn't necessarily mean a storm, it could be a strong current, water pollution, the danger of marine animals attacking or something else. Unfortunately, some people ignore it and go into the water anyway. The beach patrol are not the police - we can't arrest people for disobedience. All we can do is educate people and get them to behave in a civilized way.
This is actually the main reason why we decided to set up our Summer Lifeguard School - we want to make the beach a safer and more civilized place. The school is for children from ten to seventeen who want to spend summer on the beach and learn some lifeguard skills. Anyone who meets the age requirement is admitted. Our instructors will teach them the basic skills of water safety and basic emergency procedures, the language of semaphore (that is how to use flags to transmit a message), how to avoid sunstroke and how to swim in the waves of the sea. Our open-air classes will be useful to everyone. Reckless divers and swimmers will understand that no one, no matter how sporty they are, can be absolutely free of risk in the sea. Those who are afraid to step into the water will learn to control their fear and will learn to swim (under the very close supervision of our instructors).
On completing the summer course, the children will be awarded our Summer Lifeguard School Certificate and we hope some of them will join The Dolphins in the future. To do so, they will have to wait until they turn 18 and gain the Professional Lifeguard Certificate.

Time was running out. The game was exciting and dynamic but the score was still 0-0. Jim couldn't take his eyes off the TV and __(NOT HEAR)__ when his father came into the room.

“Who __(PLAY)__ ?” he asked.
“The Spanish Club and the Portuguese,” Jim __(KNOW)__ that his dad was not a fan and didn’t go into details.
“Who are you supporting?”
“The Spanish. If the team __(MANAGE)__ to win this game, it'll get to the final.”
“They will. The final score will be 2-1 to the Spanish Club.”

Jim turned to his dad: “How do you know?”
“It's not me. A colleague of __(I)__ has predicted the results of ten matches.

No mistake yet. Today's the __(TEN)__ game.”
Jim looked at his father again. “Sounds a bit crazy. But if I were able to predict the results of the game…”
“If you were able to predict it, it __(NOT BE)__ interesting to watch football at all.

Are you hungry by the way? I __(ORDER)__ some pizza. Will you join me?”

The women's figure skating __(CHAMPION)__ held Lana's attention for a few minutes.
However, it didn't last long - she wasn't a fan and it made her feel __(BORE)__ too. She was glad to hear the phone ringing and hurried to answer it.

GIA stands for state final certification, which is given by students after finishing nine grades. Along with the term GIA, the OGE (main state exam) is also used. As part of the OGE, students must pass two compulsory subjects, and exams in other academic subjects: literature, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, social studies, foreign languages (English, German, French and Spanish), computer science and information technology - surrender optionally.

How many subjects to take in the OGE in 2017?

Starting this year, schoolchildren after nine classes within the framework of the State Academic Examination will take three electives instead of two. In this case, the assessment in two subjects will affect the final grades in the certificate. The assessment in the third elective subject in 2017 (because this is the first year of implementation) will not affect the certificate.

For those who decide to choose a foreign (English, German, French or Spanish) as an elective subject, today I will talk about the required number of points that you need to score in order to pass the GIA.

This year, the maximum number of points that an examinee can receive for completing the entire examination paper in foreign languages (English, German, French or Spanish) is 70 points.

If the student taking the exam after the end of the ninth grade has from 0 to 28 points, then this is equivalent to a “two”, for a “troika” you need to score from 29 to 45 points. "Good" can be obtained if the work is rated from 46 to 58 points, "excellent" - from 59 to 70 points.

How long does it take to prepare for the OGE?

You need to start preparing now. Before you start preparing, decide for yourself whether you will pore over a foreign language on your own or use the services of a tutor. The demo version of the OGE 2017 presented at the end of this post will help you decide on this - English.

In our school, experienced and highly qualified teachers prepare for the USE and GIA. Since in most cases the knowledge gained within the walls of the school is not enough to pass this exam, it is advisable to start the lessons in advance.

How is the preparation for the GIA going?

It should be noted that the peculiarities of preparation depend on the knowledge of a foreign language with which the student began to study with us. Already at the first lesson, the teacher introduces the student to the format of the exam. Then, with the help of testing and oral conversation, he reveals the strengths and weaknesses of his foreign language. Preparation is complex, as the exam consists of oral and written parts. Accordingly, in each lesson, sufficient attention is paid to grammatical aspects, vocabulary, reading, working with text, listening and speaking. Usually, the most underdeveloped language skills among schoolchildren, of course, are speaking and listening (understanding foreign speech and the ability to answer questions after listening to them).

The structure of the exam in the GIA format in English

The GIA in English is conducted in the format of the main state exam (OGE), which includes tasks in a standardized form.

The OGE in English consists of written and oral parts.

The written part is divided into four sections: "Listening", "Reading", "Grammar and Vocabulary", "Writing". You have 120 minutes to complete the written part of the exam.

Section 1. Listening

This section includes three parts (8 tasks). Time to complete - 30 minutes.

Task number 1. The purpose of this task is to determine the place where this dialogue can take place: cinema, park, hotel, hospital, etc. It is important to remember that there is one extra answer.

Task number 2. In the course of this task, the examinee needs to match each speaker with the thought that he / she expressed.

For example, he/she describes the school library or his/her classroom. This question also has one extra answer.

Tasks No. 3-8. These tasks are aimed at understanding the details and specific information in the monologue/dialogue. There are three possible answers for this question. The examinee must choose the option that corresponds to what they heard. For example, indicate with whom the hero travels or what souvenir he bought.

The maximum score is -15.

Section 2. Reading

This section includes two parts.

Task number 9 consists of seven small texts and eight headings. The examinee needs to match each text with the appropriate heading that best reflects the main idea of the text. 1 title is redundant.

Tasks No. 10-17 are aimed at understanding the text of a narrative nature. After the text, 8 statements are presented. The examinee needs to establish whether the statement is true (True), false (False) or nothing is said about it in the text (Notstated).

Section 3. Grammar and vocabulary

This section consists of 9 tasks aimed at the formation of the correct grammatical form of the word and 6 tasks for the lexical transformation of words.

The maximum number of points for completing this section is 15 (1 point for each correct answer).

The bus to the IKEA shop is regular and cheap.

OGE in English 2017. Question 3

The shop the author of the text went to was located in the suburbs.

OGE in English 2017. Question 4

Read the text. Determine which of the given statements 2-9 correspond to the content of the text (True), which do not correspond (False) and what the text does not say, that is, based on the text, neither a positive nor a negative answer can be given (Not stated).

Our journey started in a minibus to Lomonosov underground station. In the open area behind the station we could see about 30 people waiting for a bus to the IKEA shop. This bus is unusual for two reasons - it is free, and it is one of the very few buses in the city that has a timetable.

We got onto the bus and it drove over the bridge across the River Neva and out of the city. One passenger had her dog with her. We saw the big yellow letters IKEA on a blue background from far away, they are on a sign which is higher than the trees. The same design is on the side of the building, a very big blue box with a car park all around it. We got out of the bus and walked along a special route to the entrance with a roof over it. We went into the shop through a big door that had several sections and was turning like a wheel. About ten people can walk inside one section of the wheel. IKEA shops are very popular everywhere in the world, and they are made to serve very large numbers of people.

Most places in Russia have a cloakroom where you can leave your coat. On this day there were too many people, so only children could leave their coats. I had a rucksack and they said that I should leave this in the cloakroom and carry my coat. If you have a child aged 3 to 6 you can leave him or her in a play room…usually for 2 hours or just one hour on busy days. They give parents a piece of paper with the time of collection written on it so that they don't forget. I don't know what people with dogs do.

The first place we went was up the stairs to the café. Everything is self-service. You take a tray and ask people to serve you food, for example traditional Swedish meat-balls. If you want coffee, tea or a fizzy drink you pay for a cup and afterwards you fill it from a machine. While you eat and drink you can study the catalog. They say that 160 million copies of the catalog are printed all round the world - where I live, they delivered a copy to each flat. People who want to buy a lot of things can take a big yellow plastic bag to put them in. There are also different sorts of trolleys. One has a seat for a small child and a place to hang the big yellow bag.

The area next to the café is for special offers. Then, there are a lot of pictures in frames and mirrors. After that, you come to a place where there are different rooms which you can walk into and sit down in. When you know what you want to buy, you have to look at the code on the price tag. This code tells you the place on the ground floor where you should go to collect the pack with the parts you want inside it. All Ikea furniture is in cardboard boxes and you have to put the parts together when you get home.

One of the main problems of life in Russia is the small amount of living space that people have in their flats. It is very unusual for a family to have a room that nobody sleeps in. So the idea of a “living room” or a “sitting room”, as we call it in English, is a bit different. Most people have a room with a sofa-bed that they open out in the evening to sleep on. I think it's quite a good idea for Russian flats to have the bed on tall legs with enough space for a sofa under it. You can buy one in IKEA for about £200. On my visit to IKEA I didn't buy anything because I live in a rented flat with lots of furniture in it. I just like looking.

Only ten people can use the entrance door to the IKEA shop at a time.

Specification
control measuring materials for carrying out
in 20176 the main state exam
FOREIGN LANGUAGES

1. Appointment of KIM for OGE- to assess the level of language training in a foreign language of graduates of the ninth grade of general educational institutions for the purpose of their state final certification. The results of the exam can be used when enrolling students in specialized secondary school classes.

The OGE is conducted in accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ "On Education in the Russian Federation".

2. Documents defining the content of KIM

Federal component of the state standard of basic general education in foreign languages (Order of the Ministry of Education of Russia dated March 5, 2004 No. 1089 “On approval of the Federal component of state standards of primary general, basic general and secondary (complete) general education”).
Exemplary programs in foreign languages // New state standards for a foreign language grades 2-11 (Education in documents and comments. M .: AST: Astrel, 2004). When developing CIM, the following are also taken into account:
Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment. MSLU, 2003.
Approaches to the selection of content, the development of the structure of KIM

The main goal of foreign language education in primary school is the formation of students' communicative competence, understood as the ability and readiness of students to communicate in a foreign language within the limits determined by the standard of basic general education in foreign languages. This goal implies the formation and development of students' communicative skills in speaking, reading, understanding sounding / oral speech by ear and writing in a foreign language.

To determine the level of formation of communicative competence among graduates of the main school, the examination work of the OGE provides for two parts (written and oral) and uses various types of tasks aimed at testing communication skills and language skills.

The fulfillment by students of the totality of the tasks presented allows assessing the compliance of the level of their foreign language training, achieved by the end of education in the main school, with the level determined by the standard of basic general education in foreign languages. This level guarantees the possibility of successful continuation of education in secondary school.

4. Connection of the examination model of the OGE with KIM USE

The examination paper for the OGE and KIM USE in foreign languages have common objects of control (communicative skills of graduates in listening, reading, writing and speaking, lexical and grammatical skills) and some common content elements.

To test the communication skills and language skills of graduates of grades IX and XI studying in the examination papers, the same types of tasks are used (for example, tasks with a short answer, tasks with a detailed answer, tasks for choosing and recording the number of one answer out of three proposed), and also unified approaches to the evaluation of productive and receptive types of speech activity.

At the same time, the OGE and the Unified State Examination differ in the objectives of the conduct, and the KIM OGE and the Unified State Examination differ in some elements of the content being checked, the number and level of complexity of tasks, the duration of the exam, which is due to the different content and conditions of teaching foreign languages in primary and secondary schools.

5. Characteristics of the structure and content of KIM

The examination paper consists of two parts:

written (sections 1-4, including tasks for listening, reading, writing, as well as tasks for monitoring the lexical and grammatical skills of graduates);
oral (section 5, containing tasks for speaking).

KIM in foreign languages includes tasks of different forms:

14 tasks with the answer recorded in the form of one number: 6 tasks for testing the auditory skills of graduates (section 1 "Listening tasks") and 8 tasks for testing the reading skills of graduates (section 2 "Reading tasks");
18 tasks with a short answer: 2 tasks to test auditory skills, 1 task to test reading skills and 15 tasks to test the lexical and grammatical skills of graduates of the ninth grade. The answer to tasks with a short answer is given by the corresponding entry in the form of a number or a sequence of numbers written without spaces and separating characters or a word/phrase written without spaces and separators).
3 tasks with a detailed answer: writing a personal letter in section 4 "Assignment in writing"; thematic monologue statement and combined dialogue (section 5 "Tasks for speaking").
