COMMUNICATION \ WAYS OF KEEPING IN TOUCH
– why communication is necessary;
– what ways of keeping in touch with people there are;
– what the most convenient way of keeping in touch is;
– what the golden rules of being a good communicator are.
Now I’m going to tell you about communication \ ways of keeping in touch.
Without any doubt, communication is necessary for everyone. There is no job or lifestyle that doesn’t require some kind of communication.
People can communicate with each other, using mobiles, computers and landline phones.
I think the most convenient way of keeping in touch is communication with the help of mobiles. Firstly, everyone always has phones with them. Secondly, to keep in touch people not only ring each other, but they also can text messages.
The golden rules of being a good communicator are that people need to listen, make eye contact, and respond to what people are saying.
As for me, I’m a good communicator because I can listen to others patiently without interrupting them.
To conclude, I’d like to say that life would be impossible without communication.
That’s all I wanted to say.
ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS \ ENVIRONMENT
– what the biggest ecological problems are;
– why the ecological problems are so terrible;
– how these environmental problems can be solved;
– what you personally can do to help our environment.
I’m going to tell you about ecological problems \ the environment.
Everyone must know that environmental protection is actual nowadays. In recent years the number of environmental problems has increased greatly.
I believe that global warming and pollution are the biggest problems. The whole planet is getting warmer. As the result, many creatures in the sea are dying because it’s too hot and dirty.
In addition, factories and cars produce so many toxic fumes, causing air pollution. Water pollution is caused by dumping chemicals into lakes and rivers. Moreover, people produce too much rubbish.
I’m sure, all these problems are due to people themselves, so people should change their habits. Besides, governments around the world need to make laws to limit pollution and punish people who break the laws.
As for me, I could help our environment, recycling, planting trees, using a bike instead of cars and buses.
To conclude, I’d like to stress that it’s high time to solve ecological problems to make our world a better place to live.
That’s all I wanted to say.
ENDANGERED SPECIES
– which animals, fish and plants are the most endangered in your opinion;
– why some species of animals are becoming endangered nowadays;
– what can be done to protect endangered animals;
– why protecting animals is important.
Now I’m going to tell you about endangered species.
It’s common knowledge that there are a lot of endangered animals in the world.
To my mind, the most endangered animals, fish and plants are rhinos, leopards, blue whales, tuna fish, snowdrops and trees.
They are endangered, because of illegal hunting. Besides, pollution and climate change can be the reasons. Moreover, trees are endangered, because of cutting them down. It also causes the loss of habitat.
To protect such animals we should send hunters who kill endangered animals to prison. Secondly, we should ban factories to pollute seas, rivers and lakes. And finally, we should fine companies for cutting down trees.
Protecting endangered species is important not to break the balance in nature.
To conclude, I’d like to stress that it’s high time to take actions to protect our flora and fauna.
That’s all I wanted to say.
EXTREME SPORTS
– what extreme sports you know;
– why people do extreme sport;
– which features of character are required for doing extreme sports;
– if you had a chance what extreme sport you would try, and why.
Now I’m going to tell you about extreme sports.
Without any doubt, people all over the world are fond of sports and games. Sport is very important in our life. Firstly, because it keeps us healthy and fit. Secondly, it makes us more organized and better disciplined.
Moreover, some people are into extreme sports. Nowadays there are many kinds of extreme activities such as kite surfing, white-water rafting, cliff diving, ice climbing, paragliding, bungee jumping and others.
I think, people do extreme sports, because they would like to test their limits, get thrills and feel the adrenaline. Besides, such a pastime helps to throw out negative energy.
I’m sure, that to practise extreme sports you should have certain character qualities, because such sports are dangerous. You should be brave, fit, skillful, accurate and risky. You also should be strong and tough.
As for me, I would try white-water rafting, because it’s exciting and breathtaking. More than that, I’m crazy about rafting.
\As for me, I wouldn’t try any extreme sports, because I’m afraid of heights and cold water, and I’m not a risk-taker.\
All in all, I’d like to stress that extreme sports are not for everybody, because they are too dangerous and risky.
That’s all I wanted to say.
FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF YOUR COUNTRY
– which outstanding people of Russia you can name;
– what one of them is famous for;
– what his\her work is your favourite, why;
– if people honor his\her memory and how.
I’m going to give a talk about famous people in the history of Russia.
Each country is proud of its famous people. No doubt, that in Russia there are many outstanding people in many spheres.
For example, Lomonosov, the founder of the Moscow University, was an innovator both in the humanities and sciences.
Mendeleev’s greatest discovery was the Periodic System of Elements. Popov invented the radio.
Sechenov and Pavlov were the world’s greatest physiologists.
In cosmonautics names of Tsiolkovsky, Koroliov and Gagarin are symbols of the new space era.
I want to dwell on one of the greatest Russians, Alexader Sergeevich Pushkin. He is the most important Russian writer and poet of all time. More than that, he is considered to be the founder of modern Russian literature. Pushkin wrote such masterpieces as «Evgeniy Onegin», «Ruslan and Ludmila», «Boris Godunov», «Medny vsadnik», «Kapitanskaya dochka», «Dubrovsky», many fairy tales and poems.
As for me, my favourite Pushkin’s work is a poem «I loved you». I like it very much because of its touching and lyrical lines.
All Russian people know Pushkin. Galleries and museums were named after him.
In conclusion, I’d like to stress that our country has many other Russian people, who deserve respect. And we are proud of them.
That’s all I wanted to say.
FASHION
– if you keep up with fashion or not, why;
– how you would describe your personal style;
– what you and your classmates like wearing;
– what your attitude to school dress-code is.
I’m going to tell you about fashion.
Fashion is a part of our every day life and a perfect way of self-expression.
As for me, I try to keep up with teens’ fashion, because I like to experiment with different styles and colors to create my own unique look.
\As for me, I don’t follow fashion trends, because I’m not interested in it. I prefer to wear comfortable, practical clothes and don’t pay attention to fashionable outfits\.
I would describe my personal style as casual. I prefer to wear T-shirts of different colors, baggy trousers or jeans with holes in them.
\ I would describe my personal style as classical. I usually use dark colors and avoid bright long sleeve shirts and jeans with holes in them.\
I’m sure, that in the wardrobe of every teenager there are casual clothing, school uniforms, sportswear, house wear, sleeping garments and Sunday wear. Most of my classmates like wearing casual clothes.
At the same time, sometimes dress code is very important, especially at school. School uniforms help to look strict and study harder. More than that, it may be stylish and smart.
To conclude, I’d like to say that people shouldn’t follow the trends blindly and pay attention to their preferences keeping their originality.
That’s all I wanted to say.
FRIENDSHIP
– what your best friend is like;
– what interests you share;
– what do you do to help and support each other;
– what your attitude to spending weekends with your friends is.
Now I’m going to tell you about friendship.
Without any doubt, every person should have friends.
As for me, I have many \few\ friends, but my best friend is Mary \Nick\. She \he\ is kind, polite, reliable, but sometimes she \he\ can be impatient. We’re fond of spending time together, playing different board games, doing sports, hanging out in malls or just walking in parks.
We have a lot in common: we listen to the same music, we like the same films and books. Moreover, we spend our free time together doing our favourite activities.
To help and support each other we discuss different problems, we try to express sympathy, give advice or just help in difficult situations. I’m sure, that to be a true friend means not to leave your friend in the lurch.
I consider that spending weekends with friends is a great way to relax, to have fun and to distract ourselves from school. So if I have a chance I always spend weekends with my friends.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that friends play an important role in our life.
That’s all I wanted to say.
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
– how you understand a healthy lifestyle;
– why a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays;
– if you have a healthy lifestyle or not, and why;
– what would you recommend to students who want to keep fit.
I’m going to tell you about a healthy lifestyle.
Without any doubt, everybody should lead a healthy lifestyle, because a healthy body makes a healthy spirit.
I think a healthy lifestyle means not only exercising a lot, but also sticking to a healthy diet. You should eat more vegetables and fruit and reduce the amount of sugar, spicy and fried food.
Nowadays a healthy lifestyle is more popular, because we have many sport facilities like fitness centers, gyms, sports grounds, stadiums, skating rinks and others. Moreover, people tend to eat healthy food, because they know the ingredients, and avoid unhealthy products.
As for me, I try to have a healthy lifestyle. Firstly, I keep fit, going to the swimming pool, the skating rink, the fitness center. Secondly, I keep a healthy diet, avoiding eating fast food.
\As for me, I don’t have a healthy lifestyle, because I’m fond of eating fast food and sweets and drink fizzy drinks.\
I would recommend to students who want to keep fit to reduce eating fast food, fats, sweets and to exercise regularly. Besides, they should have the correct sleep and rest schedule.
All in all, I’d like to stress that a healthy lifestyle makes us healthy, energetic and happy.
That’s all I wanted to say.

– how important doing household chores is, and why;
– what household chores you are responsible for;
– what your least favourite duty about the house is, and why;
– what your attitude to home robots is.
Now I’m going to tell you about household chores.
Doing household chores is an integral part of our everyday life.
It’s important to have duties about the house for everybody, because it teaches us to be responsible and helps keep our house clean. More than that, it teaches us skills which will be necessary in the future.
As for me, I’m responsible for mopping the floor, vacuuming the carpets, dusting the furniture, washing up and taking out the rubbish.
My least favourite duty about the house is vacuuming the carpets, because it’s tiresome for me. I’m fond of washing up, because it is pleasant for me.
As for home robots, I believe it’s a good idea to use them at home, because we are often too busy to do household chores and home robots can do these chores instead of us. Actually, they can be very helpful and make our life easier.
To conclude, I’d like to say that
