Предисловие

Данный уникальный сборник авторских материалов посвящён всего одному заданию из теста ОГЭ по английскому языку. – заданию №3 устной части. На его основе ученику необходимо построить связное «монологическое высказывание на заданную тему с опорой на план».

В сборник входят более 100 вариантов ответов в рамках тем, определённых ФГОС-ами для освоения программы английского языка в средней школе. Согласно заданию, каждое высказывание должно содержать минимально 10—12 предложений. Однако предлагаемые варианты в целом превышают это количество и являются избыточными. Это позволяет педагогам и ученикам подбирать удобные тексты и составлять свои собственные шаблоны. Уменьшение объёма текста и упрощение конструкции предложений представляют собой более простую задачу, чем увеличение и усложнение. По каждой теме, в помощь к уже составленным вариантам предлагаются дополнительные наборы слов и фраз. Из них ученику несложно будет выбрать знакомые варианты и составить легко запоминающийся текст. Таким образом достигается максимальная экономия времени на подготовку к этому сложному заданию.

Каждый вариант ответа содержит текст задания, тему и 4 вопроса, как это будет на экзамене. По некоторым темам существуют разные наборы вопросов, например, «Школа», «Путешествия», «Каникулы». Соответственно, для каждого есть отдельный вариант ответа. Добавлены темы по истории страны, патриотизму и искусственному интеллекту.

Ниже приведена детализация установленного ФГОС основного общего образования тематического содержания речи. Детализация проведена на основе федеральной образовательной программы основного общего образования.

Animals

You are going to give a talk about animals. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences).

Remember to say:

– what wild animals live in your region;

– whether it is a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet, and why;

– why people build zoos in cities and towns;

– what your attitude to zoos is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to talk about animals.

* You know I live in the region where you can see wild boars, moose, foxes, wolves, hares, black grouse, ducks, and beavers. There are a lot of forests around. So those animals live in the woods and near rivers.

* In my opinion, it is not a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet. Even if you take it as a little one, it has natural instincts and can react as a wild animal one day. It is simply dangerous. Moreover, you can threaten other people around you in this case.

* I think people build zoos in cities because they cannot see wild animals around anymore. It is a sort of keeping connection with nature and a way to show children how real animals look like. Otherwise, kids can read about them only in books.

* My attitude to zoos is negative. They do not help people become more intelligent and learn more about the animals. On the other hand, they take a lot of resources and space in the cities. Also, the animals in cages suffer, too. Their life has nothing to do with real wilderness. That’s the way it goes.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about animals.

Artificial Intelligence

You are going to give a talk about artificial intelligence. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● what AI means;

● why AI applications are so popular;

● why AI is considered to dangerous;

● what your attitude to AI is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to give a talk about artificial intelligence.

* To tell the truth. AI is a complicated software that provides you with the information. AI finds, collects, shapes, and transforms information from global sources according to your inquiry. AI can solve maths problems, write programme code, correct your mistakes, compose an essay or image. In fact, it is a sort of librarian, who instantly finds the book you need. Or is it a browser that similarly finds the information, when you enter a search query in the browser line.

* Of course, AI is so popular because it makes its work very quickly and accurately. It saves time dramatically. The results are very impressive. Students use AI for preparing assessment and even graduation thesis. So many educational tests and projects must be changed. Meanwhile, many people find it helpful because it can substitute employees in many jobs. That kind of thing.

* It goes without saying that probable unemployment threatens millions of people in the world. That’s why AI is considered dangerous. The ideas of creating an artificial brain or a thinking machine are baseless. There will be no fight between humans and robots. The threat of using AI in wars and weapons is more likely. And that threat is more dangerous than any others.

* My attitude to AI is not bad or good. It exists and develops. AI helps in medicine a lot. The problem is how to use it and who does that. I do hope that AI will bring a huge revolution in the history of mankind. Human civilization will flourish by amplifying human intelligence with artificial intelligence, as long as we manage to keep the technology beneficial.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about artificial intelligence.

Blogging

You are going to give a talk about your attitude to blogging. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not 2 minutes – 10—12 sentences.

Remember to say:

• why blogging is so popular among teenagers;

• what bloggers show and tell their followers;

• whether blogging could become your career in future and why;

• what your attitude to blogging is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to tell you about blogging. This online activity has caught on recently so much that almost everyone wants to be a blogger, I think.

* In my opinion blogging is so popular among teenagers because they want to become famous and recognisable like their favourite celebrities. Also, it’s an easy, fast, and convenient way to share your posts, photos, impressions, music. Doing in this way, teens often find friends and like-minders.

* To tell the truth, blogging refers to placing self-publishing content online. This content varies at bloggers significantly. For example, travel blogs or food blogs usually include photos with some written texts, while political blogs may post long discussions on the news. Blogs are more about conversation and interaction, chatting and sharing comments.

* You won’t believe it but I guess, I’m the only one in or class, who doesn’t want to be a blogger. I am keen on coding and software development. It takes up a lot of time. Moreover, I am introvert. I cannot produce a lot of wordy content and meaningless posts. I suspect it is vey difficult to earn money by blogging and it’s not a very reliable job, either. So no, not at all, nothing of the kind. It won’t be my career, undoubtedly.

* You see my attitude to blogging is simple and neutral. It’s a good opportunity to waste your time, blow off steam, so to speak, if there is someone, who can feed you and pay your bills. Blogging to me is a sort of entertainment and show-off rather than anything serious and worth doing. That kind of thing.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about blogging.

Choosing a career

You are going to give a talk about choosing a career. You will have to start in 1,5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● how people choose a career;

● when people usually begin making plans for the future;

● how we can prepare for the future profession;

● what your attitude to choosing a career is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about choosing a career. It is a very important questions for millions of people all over the world, no only for graduates.

* As far as I can judge, many people follow their parents’ advice. Parents think they advise the best. Others try to find a job themselves. They search what they like or what can provide stable income for future. Mostly, I think, people think about good pay first of all, when they search for a job. Many prefer money to talent, because talent doesn’t pay the bills.

* You know usually people begin to make plans about their future and job at school or a college. They make a decision based on their young estimations first. Many change their mind later, though. They even go to university the second time because they understand they need something completely different. Many people change their jobs more than twice. So it means they make plans for there future during all their lives.

* Honestly speaking, I’m sure that only practice makes perfect. So it’s better to find a way of using your knowledge in work. It can save time for gaining experience and necessary skills. Also, practice during study can help you make sure if this job suits you.

* It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to notice how fast computer technology develops. I mean IT runs the world. So we have no time to wait for or parents our any divine revelation. We are forced to make plans for future career at high school, for sure. It is both good and bad. The benefit is time we have to make mistakes and change our mind. The drawback is stress and nervous tension. It’s easy to break down and become depressed. Times are getting tough.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about choosing a career.

Choosing a job

You are going to give a talk about choosing a job. You will have to start in 1,5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● what jobs are popular with modern teenagers;

● what job you dreamed of in your childhood and why;

● who can help you to make your career choice;

● what you attitude to choosing a job is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about choosing a job. It’s not an easy question, indeed.

* In my opinion, the most popular jobs among teenagers nowadays are a blogger, a fashion model or celebrity, a DJ, a travel agent, and sometimes a manager in a big company. Teens are not aware of how it works in fashion and media business. So they secretly hope to become lucky one day. That’s not always true, though. That kind of thing.

* To tell the truth, in my childhood I dreamt of being a race driver. The high speed, screeching brakes, and drifting on the track attracted me. It seemed cool. I didn’t think about earning and spending money. I wanted to show off, clearly.

* It goes without saying that my parents are the first people, who can help me choose a career. They have experience. They are clever. I can disagree, of course. They can ask me some questions, though, which make me think twice. Two heads are better than one.

* I have to admit I have mixed feelings about my career choice. I haven’t made my minds up yet. On the one hand I want to be independent. On the other hand, I can’t get by without help and advice of other people. Now I wish I would be a musician. The further I go, though, the more I realise it won’t pay off. That’s the way it goes.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about choosing a job.

Eating habits

You are going to give a talk about eating habits and fast food. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

• why people like fast food;

• what people should eat to stay healthy;

• what kind of food you prefer, and why;

• what your attitude to fast food is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about eating habits and fast food. What and how we eat has become a very serious issue recently.

* Undoubtedly, people like fast food because it’s quick to have and tasty. When you are hungry, you can buy it and feel on the cloud nine. Takeaway is also convenient. Many people say they like to have a snack on the go. Also, they lighten up after fast food.

* I think, people should eat vegetables, meat, less junk food if they want to stay healthy and keep fit. Everyone knows that. I think, sometimes, though, you can eat a bun or a burger, but not so often.

* Honestly speaking, I like all kinds of food except for fish, because I don’t like its smell and taste. It’s awful. At home, I prefer eating homemade food, for example, mother’s soups and fried potato with meat. When I go to school, I usually take some fruit. When I hang out with my friends, we often go in a cafe and I take a salad or a burger. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like fast food, though.

* Frankly speaking, my attitude to fast food is good, because I enjoy it. Somehow it lifts me up and raises my spirits. Maybe, I will change my opinion in future, if I have problems with my health.

In conclusion, I want to add that everyone should make his own decision about fast food and be careful because it’s not so healthy indeed.

That’s all I want to tell you about eating habits and fast food.

***

Now I am going to tell you about eating habits and fast food. It’s a vital topic, I’m sure.

* In my opinion, people like fast food because these meals are tasty and cheap. If you are in a hurry, you can easily have a snack. But it is not healthy at all. It’s fat and harmful.

* Honestly speaking, to stay healthy, people should it salads, fruit, more vegetables, and less fast food. It has many calories. For example, you can limit chocolate and cut down fat meals. To tell the truth, I also try to eat healthy food.

* Honestly speaking, I prefer fruit and vegetable salads because I want to be fit and slim. I watch my diet and often go to gym.

* My attitude to fast food is tolerant. I know it’s not good, but I can give in sometimes.

In conclusion I would like to say that even in fast food you can find salads and sandwiches. It can cause health problems, too. After all, we are what we eat, as the saying goes.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about eating habits and fast food.

Education

You are going to give a talk about education. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

• why many people are concerned about the quality of education;

• what pupils can do to get the best education at university;

• why education is so important nowadays;

• what your attitude to the higher education is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to tell you about quality of education. It has become a very serious problem for many people recently.

* In my opinion many people are concerned about the quality of education because their future career depends on it. So it is very important for them. If you want to have a professional, education, it must be of high quality.

* I think pupils should study hard at school if they want to go to university. Many pupils don’t understand that. At university there is no time to catch up with what you missed at school. So it is better to think about it in advance.

* Honestly speaking education is so important nowadays because it determines our future. I mean you job, career, pay, prosperity, and well-being depend on how intelligent you are.

* My attitude to higher education is very positive. I myself want to go to university. I know that higher education helps to gain more knowledge for future practice and experience. So I guess it’s for a good cause.

In conclusion I would like to say that in my opinion nowadays the higher education is undergoing serious changes, but it is very helpful anyway. The higher education can give you many opportunities

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about education.

Education-2

You are going to give a talk about education. You will have to start in 1,5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● why education is important;

● how long compulsory education in Russia is;

● what your favourite subject is;

● what your attitude to education is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about education. This question has become very essential recently and worth discussing it.

* To my mind, education is so important nowadays because it influences our future and welfare. It is thought to develop intelligence. It so happens that higher education helps you find a better job and higher pay. It’s all about money, of course. In fact, in real life it may be different. But to me, it’s all prejudices.

* It is very important to say that compulsory education is 11 years. The law sets down it. There are 3 stages – primary, secondary, and high school. If you wish, you can go to college instead of high school. Parents are responsible for their children during this period. They must provide conditions for their compulsory education within 11 years.

* Honestly speaking, my favourite subject at school is English. I am good at it and my parents say I am cut out for it. I plan to go on learning English further. Maybe, I shall got to university and become a translator. That kind of thing.

* It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that education is the most important thing in human life. It makes us develop imagination and thinking. Also, it helps move forward on the base of the previous knowledge and experience of our predecessors. I am grateful to my country that I can study for free. This is the greatest achievement.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about education.

Education – school exams

You are going to give a talk about school exams. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● what exams you have to take this year;

● whether exams are useful for your learning or not, and why;

● how you get ready for your most difficult exams;

● what your attitude to school exams is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to talk about school exams.

* To begin with, I’m in ninth grade, so according to the law, I take two mandatory exams and two optional exams. Two mandatory exams are Russian language and Mathematics. Additionally, I opted for English and Physics. I’m good at these subjects. That kind of thing.

* To tell the truth, I don’t like taking exams. I feel nervous. It doesn’t help me sail through. I have to work hard. Moreover, I don’t think that tests are good to check up my knowledge. To me, they are not useful at all. I cannot see any connection between my learning, tests, and practical work. I mean real adult life. Top score doesn’t guarantee that I will use this in my future job. And, of course, it won’t help me choose the good job either. Nothing of the kind.

* I have to admit there is nothing new in my preparation for the most difficult exams or tests. I do revision, as usual. I read things again and make notes in order to remember facts, dates, and formulae. A better way to get ready, though, is a cram session, of course. That’s the most efficient thing for me. We get together, ask tricky questions, and thus we close gaps in each other’s knowledge. That’s the way it goes.

* Of course, I don’t like school exams. My attitude is more negative than positive. I have put up with them, though. If you can’t break a wall, you can go around it, as the saying goes. So I’ve adapted, and now I am waiting for graduation to find a job and develop myself.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about school exams.

Electronic gadgets

You are going to give a talk about electronic gadgets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

● how new electronic gadgets have changed our life;

● what the most useful gadget is in your view and why;

● whether there are any drawbacks to using modern gadgets.

● what you attitude to so many electronic gadgets is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to tell you about modern electronic gadgets. The topic is quite essential and significant.

* First of ll, I have to admit multiple electronic gadgets have changed our life completely. Moreover, they keep changing it literally every day. We keep in touch with friends and relatives, classmates and teachers, using them. Our parents use those gadgets permanently at work. We do the online shopping, read news, search information and watch movies, check blood pressure and pulse rate thanks to the gadgets and new technologies.

* To tell the truth, my favorite gadget is my smartphone. I don’t let it out of my hands. It’s very convenient to use, intuitive, and it gives me all the information I need. It wakes me up, navigates me to any location, I want to get to, and helps me to be online with my friends.

* It goes without saying there are a lot of bad things and drawbacks of those electronic gadgets. They are health problems, psychological addiction, a lack of time for personal communication, great dependence on technologies and applications and so on. Sometimes it seems to me that people forget about real life and dive into digital reality headlong.

* Honestly speaking, my attitude to the electronic gadgets is complex. On the one hand, we can’t get by without them. On the other hand, they substitute real life and communication, make us emotionally unstable, very nervous and vulnerable. And I don’t know whether it’s worth it indeed.

In conclusion, I want to add we have to find a way to cope with the drawbacks of the gadgets and adapt to new reality.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about electronic gadgets.

Electronic gadgets -2
