READING

Read the text and then answer questions 11-15.

Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In her new series «Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. «Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?» says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company, which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.” During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme. She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity is goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.

11. What is the writer doing in this text?

1. giving information about how colours influence us
2. reporting what happens in a new television series
3. giving information about a television presenter
4. giving his opinion of a recent television show

12. Which of the following shows the probable content of the four shows?

1. Part 1 – Health; Part 2 – Products and Industry; Part 3 – Emotions; Part 4 – Decisions
2. Part 1 – Blue and Black; Part 2 – Red and Orange; Part 3 – White and Grey; Part 4 – Green and Yellow
3. Part 1 – Meeting Designers; Part 2 – Meeting People who Name Colours; Part 3 – Meeting Doctors; Part 4 – Meeting Scientists
4. Part 1 – Cleaning Products; Part 2 – Make-up; Part 3 – Clothes; Part 4 – Food

13. According to Verity, why is a knowledge of colour important?

1. It can help you to choose the best products.
2. It can give you new ideas.
3. It can help you to change people’s minds.
4. It can help you to sell products.

14. Who does the writer respect least?

1. Verity Allen
2. The people who name lipsticks
3. The «Colour Doctor»
4. The scientists who work with mice

15. Which of the following would make a good title for the text?

1. Enjoy it, but don’t believe everything.
2. Another great show from Verity Allen! Five Stars!
3. Don’t miss this if you work in Business!
4. Watch this programme! It will make you healthy!

Part 2 «Reading»

Time: 20 minutes (20 points)

Task 1

Read the passage about Lake Vostok. There are seven words with a letter and anasterisk (*) beside them. This symbol is used in scientific texts to provideexplanations for non-scientific readers. Match each explanation below (1–7) with thecorrect letter A–G from the passage.

1. *_____ An inspection or investigation of an area, often used for making maps.
2. *_____Causing harmful effect and damaging the purity of something.
3. *_____A machine that is automatically programmed to perform a number of tasks, often dangerous or boring ones.
4. *_____A way of using radio signals on a screen to look at things that cannot normally be seen.
5. *___Very small organisms that live in the air, water, soil, plants and animals.
6. *_____A settlement in a distant part of a country, used for trading, military or scientific purposes.
7. *_____A tool or machine used to make holes in something

Lake Vostok lies about 1,500 kilometres east of the South Pole, near Russia’s Vostok station, a scientific outpost* (A) that has experienced the lowest temperatures ever recorded on Earth: minus 89.2̊ C.

What is unique about this lake is that nobody has ever set foot on its shores. Like the oceans of the planet Jupiter’s moon Europa, it is completely covered by ice.

The first person to realise the existence of Lake Vostok was the Russian geographer, Andrei Kapitsa. While flying over this frozen region in 1960, he noticed an unusually flat area and thought there might be a lake under the ice. However, his suggestions were not taken seriously at the time and it was only after a British-led survey* (B) used radar* (C) , that it became clear that there was water there.

Lake Vostok’s ice covering is 4 kilometres thick, its water is up to 500 metres deep and it has been completely covered in this way for at least one million years. In 1988 special hot-water drills* (D) were used to get through the ice to within 120 metres of the lake. Work then stopped to avoid pollution* (E) . Samples were taken from the ice and found to contain living bacteria* (F) and even some grains.

Scientists now want to send a robot*(G) down to explore and search for signs of life. If life can exist in this lake covered by ice, maybe it can also exist in the icecovered oceans of Jupiter’s moon.

Now choose the best way a–d of completing each sentence 8–10 according to the information in the passage.

8 . What makes Lake Vostok different from other lakes is that it is

• a) so near the South Pole.
• b) on Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
• c) being explored by robots.
• d) completely covered by ice.

9 . Nobody has yet got through to the waters of the lake because

• a) the ice is too thick.
• b) they are afraid of polluting it.
• c) they are worried about disease from the bacteria.
• d) you can only see the lake on radar.

10 . Lake Vostok could be a very important scientific discovery as it could show

• a) how life can survive in extreme conditions.
• b) how long Earth has existed.
• c) how robots work.
• d) how scientists write reports on their discoveries.

Task 2

You’re Welcome

Bill Bryson, an American writer who had lived in Britain for ten years, returned to the USA to rediscover his homeland. He borrowed his mother’s old Chevrolet and drove 13,978 miles through 38 states, keeping mainly to side roads and small towns. This is Bryson’s description of a meal in a town called Littleton in New Hampshire.

It was the friendliest little place I had ever seen. I went into the Topic of the Town restaurant. The other customers smiled at me, the lady at the cash register showed me where to put my jacket, and the waitress, a plump little lady, couldn’t do enough for me.

She brought me a menu and I made the mistake of saying thank you. “You’re welcome,” she said. Once you start this there’s no stopping. She came and wiped the table with a damp cloth. “Thank you,” I said. “You’re welcome,” she said. She brought me some cutlery wrapped in a paper napkin. I hesitated but I couldn’t stop myself. “Thank you,” I said. “You’re welcome,” she said.

I ordered the fried chicken special. As I waited I became uncomfortably aware that the people at the next table were watching me and smiling at me in a slightly crazy way. The waitress was watching me too. Every few minutes she came over and asked if everything was all right. Then she filled my glass with iced water and told me my food would only be a minute.

“Thank you,” I said.

“You’re welcome,” she said.

Finally the waitress came out of the kitchen with a tray the size of a table-top and started putting plates of food in front of me – soup, a salad, a plate of chicken, a basket of hot bread rolls. It all looked delicious. Suddenly I realized I was starving.

The waitress wanted to know if she could get me anything else.

“No, this is just fine, thank you.” I answered with my knife and fork ready to attack the food.

“Would you like some ketchup?”

“No, thank you.”

“Would you like some more dressing for your salad?”

“No, thank you.”

“Have you got enough gravy?”

There was enough gravy to drown a horse. “Yes, plenty of gravy, thank you.”

“How about a cup of coffee?”

“Really I’m fine.”

“You’re sure there’s nothing I can do for you?”

“Well, you might just push off and let me eat my dinner,” I wanted to say, but I didn’t of course. I just smiled sweetly and said no thank you.

Now we are ready to start.

Tea was introduced to Russia in 1640 when the Russian ambassador boyarin Vasily Starkov returned from the Mongol horde and brought a gift of 200 tea packages , 500 grammes each, to tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov. It was praised for its medicinal powers and ability to refresh and to purify the blood. Starkov himself didn’t like the taste of the drink but he feared the tsar’s anger and brought it to court. There are different legends about the way Romanov felt about the exotic foreign drink. One of them claims the tsar liked it and exclaimed ‘More!’ But many historians hold the opposite opinion because tea trade did not start in Moscow until 36 years later.

The next shipment of tea arrived from China. In 1679 Russia and China signed a special tea treaty. In the beginning tea was very expensive and only rich people could afford it. Also very few people knew the secrets of its brewing.

Traditionally, common Russian people drank forest herbal teas – vzvars – made of herbs, dried leaves and fruits.

But very soon tea had become very popular, and now Russians could not imagine their lives without it. It was also noted that tea would keep one awake during a long church service .

By the 18 th century, tea was part and parcel of Russian life and had become very much a national drink . Family affairs were settled around the tea table. Asking one to sit down to tea became a traditional sign of hospitality. Tradition demanded that the water be boiled in a samovar if possible. Russian tea is served with a lump of sugar and lemon , along with various jams and preserves, honey and Russian cookies or pies. People in the West even call tea served with lemon Russian tea.

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку. Задания конкурса Writing

Для данных этапов Центральная комиссия не предоставляет задания, а лишь дает рекомендации по их составлению. Одна из основных рекомендаций - предлагать ученикам задания по нежанровому письму: «выразите свое мнение», «прокомментируйте цитату», «посоветуйте книгу для школьной библиотеки» и т.д. Задача получается похожей на задание № 40 ЕГЭ, однако не должна повторять его полностью. Число слов может быть 100-120 или больше.

Пример

Time: 30 minutes. Comment on the following problem: Elderly people who live alone should be taken care of. In your comment use information from the article below:

Elderly people who live alone can be monitored by new technology that analyses household sounds to ensure their safety. The new sound monitoring system, developed by Fujitsu, the Japanese electronics company, examines noises in homes via a microphone connected to a data centre. The technology is refined enough to differentiate between the sound of a falling object or a collapsing human and can instantly alert family members or security firms if any abnormality is detected. From breathing and coughing to sleeping, all noises made by the resident can be detected by the technology, in addition to analysis of daily routines, heat and humidity levels.

Write 100-120 words. Remember to: make an introduction, express your personal opinion on the problem and give reasons for your opinion, express your attitude towards the information from the article, make a conclusion. Write in your own words.

Пояснение: От ученика требуется высказать свою точку зрения по предложенной проблеме, привести аргументацию и выразить свое отношение к информации, представленной в статье. Задача отчасти знакома по заданию № 40 ЕГЭ, поэтому не вызывает затруднения. Очень важно приучить школьников читать задание полностью и выполнять его строго по критериям.

Типичные ошибки:

• Невнимательность при прочтении задания.
• Несоответствие заданному объему.
• Отсутствие вступления и заключения.
• Элементарные грамматические, лексические, пунктуационные ошибки.

Writing: школьный и муниципальный этапы

Задания для данных этапов составляет Центральная предметно-методическая комиссия. Ученики работают уже с жанровым письмом. Даются те же жанры, что и на международных экзаменах: рассказ (story), статья (article), доклад/отчет (report), рецензия (review), личное и деловое письмо (letter). Задачи также представляют собой модифицированные задания ЕГЭ.

Типичные ошибки (независимо от жанра):

• Непонимание формата высказывания, жанра.
• Замена жанра.
• Неполное или неточное раскрытие темы.
• Нарушение логики (отсутствие или неправильное использование средств логической связи, резкие переходы, отсутствие вступления и заключения).
• Лексико-грамматические, орфографические, пунктуационные ошибки.

Рассмотрим подробнее наиболее распространенные творческие задания в жанрах рассказа и отчета.

Рассказ

Рассказ - это малая литературная форма, имеющая сюжет (фабулу). Текст в этом жанре должен соответствовать следующим требованиям:

• Оригинальный динамичный сюжет.
• Естественный тон повествования.
• Использование таких приемов как описание, повествование, рассуждение.
• Наличие индивидуально-авторской оценки событий и факторов, выражение чувств и эмоций автора и его героев.
• Наличие элементов диалогической речи.
• Четкая композиция (зачин, основная часть с кульминацией, развязка).
• Наличие заголовка.
• Разнообразие языковых средств.

• Прежде чем приступить к написанию рассказа, продумайте сюжетную линию, характеристику героев, составьте план и набросайте ключевые слова к пунктам плана.
• Учтите, что динамика событий в рассказе очень важна, ее можно подчеркнуть, используя слова at first, before, until, while, during, after, finally, when, etc., а также глаголы happen, realize, start, run, appear, disappear, occur, exclaim, sigh, mutter, say, wonder, etc.
• Используйте прилагательные и наречия, чтобы описать чувства и действия героев. При этом вместо приевшихся слов: big, small, good, bad, very употребляйте их синонимы и эквиваленты: enormous, tiny, terrific, horrible, extremely, etc.
• Будьте внимательны с использованием грамматических времен. Например, Past Continuous подходит для описания погоды в момент действия, Past Simple - для основных действий, Past Perfect - для событий, предшествующих истории.
• Примите во внимание, что в рассказе часто описываются герои, места, предметы, события.
• Помните, что в рассказе очень важны начало и конец.

A fluffy tail

Once upon a time, I was sitting in my office and observing my ignorant colleagues. I glanced at the watch and discovered that it was time to go home. So, I unplugged all the cords from my laptop, put a note on the board and left my workplace. Bob told me: «Have a nice day!» I told him to have a nice day too.

I left the office building, found my car in the car park and headed off to my home place. The way home usually takes an hour. It’s a boring trip, because while covering the distance I have to stay in an enormous traffic jam. Not to feel bored I switched on the radio and started waiting for the cars in front of me to move. Suddenly I saw something strange in front of my car. It looked like a roll of a newspaper. Then I understood that it was something fluffy and alive. I left the car and took the fluffy ball in my hands. It turned out to be a small cat with a fluffy tail. It looked miserable and was shivering with cold.

I decided to take it home just to feed it, because my wife would never let it live with us. A year ago our cat left home and didn’t come back. After this incident Monica couldn’t see any other cats. Well, this time she was about throwing the poor kitten away, when she suddenly found a necklace on the cat with the cat’s owner’s address. The address was ours! It was our cat that we had lost. How happy we were!

The aim of this report is to recommend what should be done in order to make students interested and successful in some school subjects. The chart was used to analyze the information. The biggest number of both boys and girls has passed state exams in computer science, mathematics and foreign languages. The percentage of them is higher than 40. The choice of chemistry, physics and geography appears to be a little bit lower - its data fluctuates from 30 to 40 percent. History is the least popular subject students have passed state exam in.

Computer science exam was the most popular one among girls. It is because of the fact that the IT development greatly affected the demand for programmers. However, in 2015-2016 academic year most boys passed mathematics exam, following the trend of being more interested in mathematical sciences than practical areas. Speaking about less popular subjects, it should be stressed that only 14 percent of girls succeeded in passing state exam in chemistry, whereas 20 percent of boys managed to pass geography exam.

Judging by our research, me can give the following recommendations. On the one hand, to raise students’ interest in unpopular subjects such as chemistry, history and geography teachers should use modern technology such as computers and eboards during the lesson. On the other hand, group work and school projects may make them more interested in the subject. In conclusion, we can make a point that both interests and success of students do not depend on what kind of science a particular subject refers to. It is all about the education progress which can be improved by the use of special equipment and another way of studying.

Комбинированные задания

Комбинированные задания в конкурсе Writing встречаются нечасто, однако ставят перед учениками очень интересные задачи, которые те выполняют с большим удовольствием. Суть в совмещении жанров, разных заданий из ЕГЭ.

Пример

Imagine that you are a teacher of English at school and you have given your students the writing assignment: Comment on the following statement. When you are studying away from home, the best choice for you is to live with your acquaintances. What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? Write 200-250 words. Use the following plan: make an introduction (state the problem), express your personal opinion and give 2-3 reasons for it, express an opposing opinion and 1-2 reasons for it,explain why you don’t agree with the opposing opinion,make a conclusion restating your position One of your students has sent you her essay by e-mail.

Task A. Find and correct the mistakes. The first one has been corrected as an example. Find 5 more mistakes (grammar, vocabulary or spelling) and correct them.

Task B. Playing the role of a school teacher, write an email to your student, expressing your opinion on her work. Do not comment on the grammar, vocabulary or spelling mistakes in your letter. Comment on the composition and general idea of the essay. Observe the rules of letter writing, except for the address. Do not write your real name! (use 100-140 words).

Student’s Essay When you are studying away from home, the best choice for you is to live with your acquaintances.

I disagree to this statement. If you are thinking of going away to study, your choice of accommodation will be very important. You may be lucky enough to have the chance of staying with somebody your parents know, for example, your distant relatives or your parents’ friends. However, this can bring problems as well as advantages. Family life may well distract you of your studies, and there will also be the question of what you should pay to your hosts. No matter how carring they may be and no matter how much they want you with them, they won’t expect to keep you for nothing. Paying too much or too little can easily lead to feeling awkward but setting the right amount can be tricky and embarrassed. You will also have to adjust with your hosts’way of life and put up with their habits. They will also have to do their best to make you feel at home. In other words, it is wrong to believe that if you are living with somebody you know it will be costing nothing either for you or for them. Living in a dormitory can often be the best arrangement after all.

Пояснение: От школьника требуется представить себя учителем английского, задавшим ученикам известное задание «выразить точку зрения по предложенной проблеме», проверить эссе одной из учениц, найти в нем 5 ошибок, прокомментировать это эссе в письме. То есть школьник имеет дело с жанром эссе, но сам при этом должен написать ответ в форме письма.

Ответ, получивший наибольшее количество баллов:

Dear Ann,

On the whole, your essay is very well done. Your point of view is clearly stated and supported by several arguments. Unfortunately, the opposing opinion is not mentioned in your work and is not commented upon. I am afraid there is no introduction in your essay. Try to add two sentences at the beginning where you paraphrase the statement and show that there are different views on the problem. I would also make two more paragraphs, starting with the words «Family life» and «In other words».

With best wishes,

Mr. Brown
