Пример задания 3
—	What you should do to stay beautiful and healthy.
—	Why physical attractiveness is important.
-	What you can do to improve your fitness level.
I would like to give a short talk about health and beauty. I think that everyone wants to
stay healthy and to be in good shape. That is why it is important to exercise regularly,
to sleep 7-8 hours per day and to stick to a healthy diet. Besides, people should give up
their bad habits and try to avoid stressful situations. From my point of view physical
attractiveness is important for everyone because beautiful people can easily find friends
and get well-paid jobs. They often feel confident and satisfied with their lives. But one
should not forget that inner beauty can be much more important than physical beauty.
Personally, I want to be strong and attractive, that’s why I go to the gym twice a week.
I’ve made my workout a regular part of my week. In addition, I like jogging and riding
a bike. It improves my mood and increases my energy level. I’ve come to the end of my
talk, thank you for listening.

Animal welfare is a growing concern in today’s society. There are many people who believe
that zoos are unethical. They argue that it is cruel to remove animals from their natural
habitat and keep them in cages for the public to look at. An animal kept in a zoo will
lead a different life to an animal that lives in the wild, for example animals in zoos don’t
have to hunt for food. Furthermore, some animals become unhappy in zoos because there
isn’t enough space. Zoos feature animals from places all over the world and animals must
therefore adjust to different climates and seasons, depending on the location of the zoo
in relation to where the animal comes from. On the other hand, a trip to the zoo can be
an educational experience. Besides, zoos are involved in many conservation projects. Due
to threats such as poaching, there are arguably many species which would be extinct if
they weren’t kept in zoos.

The video game market is big business. The best games draw people into an exciting world
where anything is possible. The great appeal of most online games is that there are lots of
different things to do in it, and depending on what kind of person you are, there’ll always
be something within a particular game that’s likely to appeal to you. It is a world and you
have all the elements like a regular world would have. You can buy and sell things. You
see actual figurines that represent a person. When you die you resurrect, it’s that safe and
that easy. It’s great entertainment, but for some players and net users who get hooked it
can be a disaster. ‘Addicts’ deprived of computer access exhibit rage, distress and even
violence. Amongst young people in some countries, video game playing is almost universal.
Gamers lose all sense of time and get seriously upset if interrupted. They can neglect their
responsibilities at home and at work, fall behind at school, and put their future at risk.

Task 1. You are going to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently,

2 minutes for reading aloud.
Today more parents are making the decision to educate their children at home. There are
both advantages and disadvantages to homeschooling. In a home school setting, children
and their parents have one-to-one lessons. Public school teachers, on the other hand, have
classrooms full of twenty to thirty children to provide attention to, which decreases the
amount of attention that each student gets from the teacher. Parents have no way to
adjust what a public school decides to teach to the students. Homeschooling gives parents
the authority to create a curriculum based on what types of information students of a
particular age and grade level should know. However, children who are homeschooled miss
out on many social activities. That is why parents who home school their children should
sign them up for sports teams or community clubs with other children their age.

While vast advancements in technology and industry have made life much easier, these
innovations have also created an ever-growing monster - pollution. These days almost
the entire world is faced with a “dirty” problem. Nevertheless, there are cities all over
the planet that have really outdone themselves when it comes to being polluted. With
approximately 3 million people of its residents affected by the pollution problem, the city
of Linfen in China is perhaps the most polluted city in the world. The hills surrounding
the Chinese city are peppered with tons of coal mines, legal as well as illegal. One simply
can’t sniff the air without smelling the odor of burning coal. Furthermore, the pollution
is so great that if you hang your laundry, you’ll find that your clothes turn black even
before they dry. Linfen has been declared by the country’s State Environmental Protection
Agency as having the worst air in China.

The Oxford dictionary defines the word “family” as “a group of people consisting of two
parents and their children, or who are related by blood or marriage”. Of course, there
are many variants of that definition - but what they all have in common is the notion of
people protecting each other. Family is such an emotive word that a dictionary definition
will always struggle to pin it down. It is a core element of personal economy; one of the
things that defines who we are and how we see ourselves. It gives us a sense of place in
the world. For many young people family is a safety net to fall back on as we go out and
create strong bonds with others. It’s all change again when it’s time to start families of
our own. Then, we become the protector and source of stability for our own children.

Many pieces of clothing are invented for a functional purpose before they ever become
fashionable, but as they become symbolic of a certain kind of lifestyle, certain items become
expressive of meaning. For example, cowboy boots originated as functional footwear for
men working in the American West. Cowboys were seen as rugged and individualistic
because of the demands of their occupation, and cowboy boots have persisted as a choice
fashion item for people wishing to express these values. Even when worn far from ranches
or cows, cowboy boots continue to signify values that appeal to people everywhere. Fashion
is often fueled by the desire to be different enough to stand out but similar enough to
belong to the group that your clothing helps identify.

Chinese food is famous all over the world. Chinese cuisine has countless delicious and
fantastic dishes. Ingredients of Chinese food are various and sometimes shocking to
foreigners. Chinese cuisine varies across China. There are many regional cuisines with
different flavors: spicy, sweet, sour and hearty. China has its own unique dinning culture
and etiquette, which foreign visitors may find quite different from what they are used
to. Chinese use chopsticks to pick up food, not knives and forks. There are usually no salt
or pepper shakers, or tomato sauce on the table. But you may find bottles of soy sauce,
vinegar, and chili paste on the table. Some Chinese restaurants can be quite noisy and
smoky where people don’t control their talking volume or smoking. Tips are not expected
in Chinese restaurants. The service fee is included in the food prices.

Nowadays, the ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ no longer awards a place to the person who
can speak the most languages. This is likely due to general confusion on the definition
of fluency - and how difficult it is to test the claims of polyglots. There are plenty of
examples of people through history who have claimed to have held command over a
staggering amount of languages. The most impressive living example of a hyperpolyglot
is probably Alexander Arguelles, who has studied and to some degree understands around
50 languages. Alexander caught the language bug at university when he began studying
German. From then on, he devoted himself to learning as many languages as he could in
his lifetime. He notes that the further he goes with his learning, the easier languages come
to him. When he first started learning Swedish he was able to hold a complex conversation
within three weeks. Yet, he considers this an early stage of learning a language, with
much work left to go.

Writers have the reputation for being solitary. However, every now and then they forge
bonds of friendship with one another. Hemingway and Fitzgerald met in Paris in 1925.
Fitzgerald had already published a few novels. Hemingway had not even published his first
yet. But despite of feelings of jealousy and competitiveness the two became close friends.
Fitzgerald even helped edit ‘The Sun Also Rises’. Fantasy giants Lewis and Tolkien first
met at Oxford University, where the two both belonged to a group of writers known as
The Inklings. They had a very intimate friendship, Tolkien even playing a key role in
converting Lewis to Christianity. That is not to say their friendship was perfect, however.
They bickered over the quality of each other’s work, and they finally drifted apart when
Lewis took up with an American widow.

Some people suppose that face makes a person beautiful, some others think that it’s our
body which makes us beautiful. A lot of people nowadays are sure that a courageous
spirit and a generous heart make us beautiful. Anyway, so many people, so many minds.
For centuries people have tried to come up with a mathematical formula for beauty. The
ancient Greeks, for example, thought the number three was the answer - a beautiful
face was one that could be divided into three exactly equal parts, hairline to eyebrows,
eyebrows to mouth, and finally mouth to chin. The Victorians believed that a face with
great beauty possessed the average features of all other faces. However, recent research
has found that the most attractive faces have higher cheekbones, a thinner jaw and larger
eyes relative to the size of the face than an average one.

Most people have hobbies that anyone would look at as normal, but there are hobbies that
not many of us would take up. People come up with the oddest, not ever wondering if what
they’re doing is actually a waste of time or not. Gathering up a group of people who find
a common interest in say a famous singer would seem fun. You could start out on your
own club where the fans can get together and watch concerts for hours on end over the
weekend. You can have members wear matching shirts with the singer’s picture on the
front. Decorate the fan club room with posters that you can travel around and collect from
souvenir stores or their hometowns. Celebrate their birthdays, read up on them extensively
and tour the country to catch a glimpse of your idols in the flesh.

In the last five decades or so, the media and its influence on the societies, has grown
with the advance of technology. First there was the telegraph and the post offices, then
the radio, the newspaper, magazines, television and now the internet and the new media
including palmtops, cell phones etc. The first and foremost function of the media in a
society is to provide news and information to the masses, that is why the present era
is some time termed as ‘the information age’ as well. Entertainment would be the other
function of the mass media where it is mostly used by the masses to amuse them in
present day hectic environment. Educating the masses about their rights, moral, social
and religious obligations is another important function of mass media. We have put our
trust on the media to give us news, entertainment and education. The media has a huge
impact on society in shaping the public opinion of the masses. They can form or modify
the public opinion in different ways depending of what is the objective.

Trading is one of the first ways that people have gotten what they need. For example, in
the past, salt was very important to people. They traded salt for shoes, tools, weapons and
food. This method of trading is called bartering, but it does not always work well. Over
time, people developed a new system. Instead of bartering, they would trade for particular
objects. These objects were often rare or beautiful. But sometimes the objects were even
common things. These special objects are called proto-money. Proto means “first in time”
or “earliest.” So, proto-money is the first, or earliest kind of money. Some cultures used
objects such as seeds, pieces of wood, animal skins, cloth, and shells. However, the most
popular kind of proto-money was metal. Something very valuable was worth a larger
amount and weight of metal. Using metal as money led people to create metal coins.

UK schools are allowed to discipline pupils who behave badly in various ways. Pupils are
usually punished for playing truant, smoking, swearing, hitting, running, stealing, not
doing homework, bullying, cheating in exams and wearing unsuitable clothes for school.
UK schools often use such ways of punishment as exclusion, suspension, detention and
lines. A pupil can be excluded from the school and cannot come back. When a pupil is
suspended they cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting
about their case. Detention means a pupil is asked to stay at school at the end of the school
day. The pupil must work for 30 minutes or an hour more before they are allowed to
leave the school. Sometimes during detention a pupil has to write a sentence many times
on a sheet of paper. Many schools in the UK now give parents a home/school contract
explaining the school discipline and rules.

Shopping has a far greater impact on the environment than may be immediately apparent.
After food, clothing purchases alone have the second highest environmental impact of all
our consumption activities. The amount of water used in the production and transport
of clothes bought by an average household each year is 150,000 litres. Even products
you might think are environmentally neutral, like your favourite band’s latest CD, will
often require significant resources to produce. Consider the energy and embodied water
used in the creation of the disc, its booklet and packaging, how the CD was transported
to the shop and how you travelled to buy it. A substantial amount of household energy
consumption and greenhouse pollution can be attributed to white goods (fridges, freezers,
washing machines, televisions and clothes dryers). Look for, and only purchase items that
are water and energy efficient.

Sports is something which almost all of us have done at some point in our lives. But there
are few people who take it to a whole new level and do some of the most daring sports
possible. Scuba diving is not for the faint heated. It is wonderful to explore the underwater
world, but it is filled with many dangers. If the diver ascends too fast to reach the surface,
it can lead to a life threatening condition. Then there is always a chance of getting attacked
by a dangerous underwater animal like a shark. Mountain Climbing involves climbing up
and down the mountains. The climbers are exposed to many risks. The sport requires the
climbers to be extremely fit and one has to have years of experience before moving on to
climb some of the tougher mountains.

what was at this time unimaginable, nowadays is very present; obvious there are still some
items that aren’t used in practice but it won’t take a long time until these will became
usual. Once with the release of the multitude of smartphones and tablets, the gadget
market simply exploded and people are still very interested in it. Some specialists say that
the auto industry is suffering because people prefer to buy a new gadget instead of saving

In the past wealthy people travelled to distant parts of the world to see great buildings,
works of art, learn new languages, experience new cultures, and taste different cuisines.
During the Roman Republic, spas and coastal resorts were popular among the rich. Modern
tourism can be traced to what was known as the Grand Tour, which was a traditional trip
around Europe, (especially Germany and Italy), undertaken by mainly upper-class. Mass
tourism developed with improvements in technology, which allowed the transport of large
numbers of people in a short period of time to places of leisure interest, so that greater
numbers of people could begin to enjoy the benefits of leisure time. Nowadays tourists
have a wide range of budgets and tastes, and a wide variety of resorts and hotels have
developed to cater for them. For example, some people prefer simple beach vacations,
while others want more specialised holidays and quieter resorts.

A job hopper is someone who works briefly in one position after another rather than
staying at any one job or organization long-term. Although most people change jobs more
frequently than was the case in the past, job hoppers do so more often. Years ago, it was
not uncommon for people to work for the same employer their entire careers. In recent
decades, however, people typically change jobs at least a few times through their careers.
Some employers are still reluctant to hire job hoppers. Others, however, would prefer
to see applicants with a few jobs on their resumes to those who have stayed in one job
for a long time. Employers often fear such individuals are resistant to change or simply
unmotivated. People who have worked in a number of different capacities and in different
corporate environments, on the other hand, are likely to have a broader range of skills
and be more adaptable.

Teenagers begin to separate from Mom and Dad in an attempt to become more independent.
At the same time, teenagers are increasingly aware of how others, especially their teenage
peers view them. They often start experimenting with different looks and behaviors and
they become sensitive to how they differ from their teenage peers. This often can result
in conflict between parents and teenagers. Teens need to detach a bit from their parents;
especially the parent whom they’re the closest to. This is evident when your teenager
appears to always have different point of view than you. Parents should be careful to allow
their teenagers’ opinions and tastes to differ from their own. This is a difficult stage for
parents and teenagers alike.
