Next week i am going to take part in a local drama contest егэ письмо

…Next week I am going to take part in a local drama contest. Have you ever participated in theatre performances? What extra-curricular events are organized for students at your school? Is it necessary for teenagers to take part in such activities after school and why or why not? Last week I returned from the amazing camping trip…

Dear Mike,

Thanks for your letter. I was glad to get it again!

As for your future contest, I’m sure that you will cope with all difficulties and become a winner.

Well, you asked me some questions. Speaking about me, I have never participated in theatre performances because I’m not interested in it. There are many extra-curricular events at my school: scientific conferences, sport games, different concerts. Of course, it is not necessary to take part in such activities. Our teachers think that students are free in their choices.

Frankly speaking, camping trips always sound great! By the way, I want to know some information about it. Did you travel alone or with anybody? How many days did you spend there?What places did you visit while being in the trip?

Sorry, I have to stop because of my household chores.

Write back soon!

With love,

Ulyana

Controlling skies
Lack of safety
Bicycle is faster
Office at home

Blocked roads
Paid roads
Improving railways
Buses instead of cars

A. The world’s first public passenger railway was built in Great Britain in 1826 and
ran between the industrial north-eastern towns of Stockton and Darlington. After
180 years’ experience the British say that their trains still don’t seem to run
efficiently or even safely. On average, about 500 accidents with broken rail tracks
happen in the country every year.

B. The British government is promising to give £33.5 billion to modernise the
railways before 2010. Another £30 billion is to come from the private sector. The
main target is to increase safety and speed. For example, new London-to-Scotland
high-speed trains significantly reduce journey times and in 2004 a warning system
was installed throughout the country.

C. Statistics show that only 12% of all journeys made in Britain are by public
transport. The remaining 88% are made by car. Every year British people spend
about two weeks travelling to and from work including nine days in their own
cars. But anyone will say this isn’t a quick and easy way to travel. In fact, a
journey from London to Manchester frequently takes seven hours. A cyclist could
get there quicker.

D. Every year there are about half a million traffic jams in Britain. That is nearly
10,000 a week. There are hundreds of big traffic jams every day. According to
the forecast, the number of jams will grow by 20 per cent over the next ten years.
Nearly a quarter British people find themselves in a jam every day and 55 per
cent at least once a week.

E. Nowadays many British people take their children to school by car. Twenty years
ago, nearly one in three primary school children made their own way to school.
Now only one child in nine makes their own way. During the school year at 08:50
a.m. one car in five on the roads in any British town is taking children to school.
The solution could be special school buses widely used in the USA.

F. Many scientists hope that new technologies allowing more people to work at home
may help with traffic problems. Fewer people will work from 9 to 5 and travel to
and from work during the rush hour. But only 15% of people now want to spend
more time working at home. The workplace is, for many people, a place to meet
other people and to talk to them, so they would miss it if they worked from home.

G. In 1903, the Wright brothers made the first aeroplane flight. It only lasted 12 seconds but changed the world forever. A century later, air travel is no longer a miracle, it is part of everyday life. One billion air passengers now fly every year — that’s equivalent to a sixth of the world’s population. To make sure everything runs smoothly, there are special air traffic control centres in each country which watch every aeroplane.

Cry-Baby

It was almost midnight before they got around to giving the Oscars to the really well-known personalities. At first a series of guest stars had awarded the prizes: to the best designer, to the best special-effects man, for the best technical invention for motion pictures during the year, and to all the other people, so unknown outside the industry, but so significant within it.

I looked around the theatre, recognizing most of the weighty faces in the business, but not caring much. You see, I was pretty nervous. Myra Caldwell, whom I had brought to the ceremony, was sitting there beside me, and right across the aisle was Joan Weyland. Now, to get the picture properly, you have to remember that during that particular year Myra had played the sensational supporting role in The Devil Loses and had been called the greatest find in the history of pictures. But that was the same year that Joan Weyland had stolen a big picture called Calumet Centre right out from under the nose of one of the most famous female stars in the industry. The only other actress nominated was not given much chance. Now in a few minutes, they were going to announce who had won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress of the year. It was the hottest Contest and everybody was aware of it. Furthermore, it was no secret that the two leading contestants would be delighted to boil each other in oil — win, lose, or draw. And here they were across the aisle from each other. Do you get why I was nervous?

Then the lights went down. They were going to run short scenes from the pictures for which the actors and actresses had been nominated. The supporting-actress pictures were coming on, and here was Joan Weyland in her grand scene from Calumet Centre. The audience started to applaud as soon as they saw her.

After that they ran a short episode from Whirlwind, showing the other nominee, a refugee actress called Tanya Braden. I had never seen the picture of the actress, and the picture hadn’t made much money, but there was no doubt she could act! She played the star’s mother and she made you believe it.

Then they ran Myra’s big moment in The Devil Loses. After it was over, I tried to guess who had the biggest chance.

«I think I won,» Myra said to me.

The lights went up. The old actor, who had won the Supporting Actor award the year before, came through the curtains and prepared to present the award. I didn’t see how I was going to live through the next few minutes. He got the envelope and began opening it very slowly.

He was loving every second of it, the old man. Then he looked at the little piece of paper.

«The Winner,» he said, then paused again, «is Miss Tanya Braden, for her performance in Whirlwind.»

Well, I’m not too sure about the sequence of events that followed. I don’t reme: the applause, because Joan let out a loud cry from across the aisle that drownec everything else. Then Myra started to cry. I don’t mean cry like the ordinary pei but I mean cry so that the building shook.

Then Joan jumped to her feet and started out, and her mother accompanied But I couldn’t do anything with Myra. The show was interrupted and the v theatre was staring at her. I picked her up and carried her out.

It wasn’t a very pleasant performance, but I think there is some excuse. Afte: Joan is 8 years old, and Myra is only 6, and she isn’t used to being up so late, a little on her side anyway. And why not? I’m her father.

1. At the beginning of the Oscar ceremony prizes were awarded

to the most famous stars among the winners.
to the best director.
for the best film.
to the secondary members of shooting crews.

2. Joan Weyland and Myra Caldwell were present at the ceremony because they

had both played in one film which had an Oscar nomination.
had been nominated as two of the Best Supporting Actresses of the year.
wanted to see the well-known personalities of the film industry.
accompanied the nominees.

3. The phrase Myra «had been called the greatest find in the history of pictures» n that

she found the best way to perform her role.
she was awarded with a prize for the best performance in the history of cine
her debut was called very successful.
she revealed sensational facts in the film «The Devil Loses».

4. «Calumet Centre» was

a picture by some popular artist.
a film in which a famous actor starred.
a picture painted by a famous female star.
a film in which Joan was given a role instead of a famous actress.

The narrator describes the relations between Joan and Myra as

friendship.
rivalry.
sympathy.
partnership.

The narrator liked the performance of the third nominee, Tanya Braden, becaux

played her part very convincingly.
was very beautiful.
was a well-known actress.
played as a partner of a world-famous star.

Dear Jason,

I am really glad to receive your letter. Sorry, I didn’t respond to your letter right away. I am dyeing to know about your projects on environmental problems.

As for the main ecological problems, there is a problem with air pollution. The City Council is thinking of taking some measures by checking vehicles’ pollution and controlling the traffic in the city. As a matter of fact, I have been personally involved in an environmental project on planting more trees in our area that would give more oxygen.

Btw, are you getting any special training for creating footpaths for this project in Yellowstone National Park? Is it your first visit there? What else are you doing as a part of the environmental project?

Well, I’ve got to go now. It’s time for my favorite TV show.

Write me when you can!

Love,

Slava

Задание 1 на письмо личного характера

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Tom who writes:

…Last summer my parents and I went hiking to the mountains. We spent the whole week together and enjoyed it very much. How often do you take active holidays? Who do you think is the best company for you? What extreme sports would you like to try, if any, and why?

Last month our English class got an interesting project. We wrote a paper about interesting events in the past of our country…

Write a letter to Tom.
In your letter:
– answer his questions
– ask 3 questions about his project paper
Write 100 – 140 words.
Remember the rules of letter writing.

Ваш ответ на письмо:

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your letter. I was happy to receive it again. Glad to hear that your hiking trip was wonderful.

In your letter you asked me some questions and I’m ready to answer them. As for me, I take active holidays once a month. You know, it is my friend named Alex who is the best company for me because he is reliable and supportive. By the way, we want to try parachuting next week. The reason is the local parachute club is offering discounts for students these days, so we want to take advantage of the situation. Tom, I’d like to know more about your project. What event did you write about? What sources did you use to get information? Who helped you to write your paper?

Well, I must finish now because my lessons begin in half an hour. I’ll be looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Nick

Задание 2 на письмо личного характера

You have received a letter from your pen-friend Tom who writes:

This month is my mom’s birthday and now I am thinking about a gift for her. I want it to be very special…

Write a letter to Tom.

In your letter
– answer his questions
– ask 3 questions about his mom
Write 100 – 140 words.
Remember the rules of letter writing.

Ваш ответ на письмо:

Dear Tom,

Many thanks for your letter. I was glad to hear from you again. Congratulations on the second prize!

In your letter you asked me about family history. I think it’s extremely important to record it because the more you know about your ancestors the better you understand yourself. In my opinion, everyone who is interested in his or her family history should record it. First of all, you should speak to your grandparents to get basic information. Then, you should study family documents such as photos, letters, and the like. By the way, how’s your mom feeling about the coming birthday? Does she want to invite many guests? What food is she going to buy?

Well, I must finish now — my lessons begin in half an hour. Write back as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Nick

Задание 3 на письмо личного характера

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Jane who writes:

… I have just returned from our school volleyball competition. I played for my class team and we won! What sport competitions are held in your school, if any? How can you become a member of your school sport team? Is it an easy thing to do? What kind of sport sections can you attend at school or in town?

Oh, I have some more good news! My sister had a great birthday party yesterday! …

Write a letter to Jane.

In your letter
– answer her questions
– ask 3 questions about her sister’s birthday party

Write 100 – 140 words.
Remember the rules of letter writing.

Ваш ответ на письмо:

Dear Jane,

Thanks for your letter. I was glad to hear from you again. Congratulations on your victory!

In your letter you asked me about sport. Actually, lots of sport competitions are held in our school. The most popular are swimming competitions. Our school team is great and if you want to become a member of it, you must be ready to work out hard every day. It is not an easy thing to do because you must be healthy and strong. By the way, there are also volleyball and football sections in our school. Jane, tell me more about your sister’s birthday party. Where was it held? How many guests were present at it? How long did it last?

Well, I must finish now because my mom wants me to help her. Write back without fail.

Love,
John

Теперь давайте обсудим важные детали вашего идеального личного письма. Все то, о чем мы сейчас скажем, основано на рекомендациях ФИПИ (федерального института педагогических измерений) и на реальной практике оценивания экспертами региональных комиссий.

1) Идеала нет. Никогда не считайте, что какой-нибудь образец письма – идеален. Есть много пособий и сайтов с готовыми письмами, но большинство этих образцов не соответствуют в полной мере тому, что от вас ожидают на ЕГЭ. В любом образце можно найти массу недостатков. Ваша задача – изучить образцы с целью набрать шаблоны, речевые обороты и клише, чтобы написать свое собственное письмо, максимально приближенное к идеалу. На этом сайте мы стараемся давать такие варианты писем, которые написаны с учетом всех требований и даже придирок самых предвзятых экспертов.

1) Обращение. По легенде вы получаете письмо от определенного друга, у которого есть имя. В обращении вам надо назвать этого друга по имени, т.е. сказать Dear Tom или Dear Jane. После обращения не забывайте поставить запятую и продолжить письмо с новой строки. Запомните последовательность: обращение – запятая – новая строка!

2) Первый (вводный) абзац. В первом абзаце вы обязательно должны поблагодарить вашего друга за письмо, для этой цели хватит стандартной фразы Thanks for your letter. Тут же вы должны указать на то, что это не первое письмо, которое вы получаете от друга, а лишь одно из серии переписки. У эксперта в критериях есть пункт: “Ссылка на предыдущие контакты”, – и если он эту ссылку не найдет, то снизит вам баллы. Воспользуйтесь устойчивой фразой I was happy to receive your letter again, в которой слово again указывает на неоднократность получения писем. Не забывайте again! Если вы просто напишите I was happy to receive your letter, то это будет ошибкой.

3) Второй (основной) абзац. Суть второго абзаца заключается в том, что вы отвечаете на заданные другом вопросы и задаете свои собственные.

3.1) Ответы на вопросы. Во-первых, вам надо отвечать на вопросы в том порядке, в котором они были заданы. Если вы нарушите порядок, то потеряете баллы за организацию письма. Во-вторых, отвечать надо по существу. Если вас спрашивают “Как часто вы делаете что-либо?”, то отвечайте конкретно: “Я делаю это один/два/три/четыре и т.д. раза в день/неделю/месяц/год”. Даже если вы этого не делаете вообще, отвечайте утвердительно. Поверьте, эксперту не интересна ваша реальная жизнь, он лишь просто хочет прочитать нужный ответ на вопрос.

Будьте очень внимательны к формулировке вопроса. Например, в одном письме встретилось следующее: What after-class activities are most popular in your school? Если вы начнете говорить: In my school we play volleyball и т.п., то допустите ошибку. Вы должны не просто назвать виды деятельности, но и упомянуть, что они являются именно after-class, т.е. послеурочными. Поэтому надо написать что-нибудь типа After our lessons we play volleyball.

3.2) Собственные вопросы. Прежде всего, вам надо построить именно вопрос, а не что-то похожее на него. Например, не засчитываются вопросы, начинающиеся с What about…? или Could you tell me…? Задавая вопросы о birthday party, не надо писать What about your birthday party? или Could you tell me anything about you birthday party? Спросите, например, где проходила вечеринка по поводу дня рождения и было ли много гостей? Следите за тем, чтобы ваш вопрос был именно о том предмете, который указан в задании. Если требуется задать вопросы о дне рождения мамы, то вопрос How old is your mom? не соответствует задаче, поскольку касается самой мамы, а не собственно дня рождения.

4) Третий (завершающий) абзац. Вы завершаете письмо и говорите об этом другу. Но нормы вежливости требуют не просто написать I must finish my letter, но еще каким-то образом обосновать свое завершение. Скажите, что вам надо торопиться в школу или прийти на помощь родителям. Без уважительного обоснования ситуация выглядит так, будто письменное общение с другом вам уже неинтересно. Обязательно укажите на то, что вы ожидаете продолжения контакта – I’ll be looking forward to your reply или Write back as soon as possible. Без подобных фраз вы потеряете баллы за организацию.

5) Логика. Говоря по-простому, логика – это взаимосвязь всех предложений в вашем письме. Это очень слабое звено практически у всех, кто сдает экзамен. Сейчас мы расскажем о самых частых логических нарушениях. Так, например, друг вас спрашивает, нравятся ли вам экстремальные виды спорта. Второй абзац вы начинаете словами: “Yes, I like them very much” или “No, I don’t like them at all”. Звучит странно: только что вы поблагодарили за письмо и сказали, что вам приятно вновь получить весть от друга, и сразу же слова – “Да, я люблю…” или “Нет, я не люблю…”. К чему сразу такие утверждения и отрицания? Если ваш друг забыл уже те вопросы, который задавал вам, то ему будет непонятны такие столь прямые заявления.

Часто бывает, что отсутствует переход от ответа на один вопрос к ответу на следующий. Например, после отношения к экстремальному спорту вам надо рассказать о наиболее частом препровождении свободного времени. Вы говорите: “I often go to the cinema with my friends” – и получаете снижение оценки за логику. Логичным было бы продолжить тему спорта, сказав: “Besides extreme sport, I’m engaged in quieter activities. My favourite one is going to the swimming pool in my free time.” Вы можете, конечно, возразить: “Почему я вдруг должен продолжать о спорте, если в свободное время я действительно хожу в кино?” Ответ: “Потому что эксперту нужна логика, а не то, что у вас там в действительности происходит. Не забывайте, что ваше письмо – ненастоящее, это лишь симуляция, подделка…, и она должна стремиться к идеалу!”

Очень важным элементом логики являются логические связки. К сожалению, многие не понимают, что это такое. Вдумайтесь в слово “связка” – это некий элемент в тексте, который связывает предыдущую мысль с последующей. Так, слово also (также) является связкой, так как имеет отношение не только к тому предложению, в котором употребляется, но еще и к предыдущему, например: I play chess and read books in my free time. Also, I often watch historical films. Связками являются: because (потому что), and (и), what’s more (более того), that’s why (вот почему, поэтому) и ряд других. Самое главное, что вы должны понять: связка регулирует порядок мыслей (сначала…, прежде всего…, потом…, и еще к этому…, и также…, поэтому…). Многие ученики ошибочно считают фразу As for me тоже связкой. Как она регулирует ход мыслей? Никак.

6) Стиль. Помните: ваше письмо имеет личный, дружеский характер, следовательно стиль должен быть неформальным. Неформальный стиль предполагает сокращения: скажите просто I’m busy, а не I am busy; или Many thanks for your help, а не I appreciate your help.

Обратите внимание, что многие слова имеют формальный характер. Например, часто приходится видеть в письме логическую связку moreover (более того). Это слово не годится в дружеском письме, так как является формальным.

7) Помощь. Пока у вас еще есть время и вы лишь готовитесь сдать ЕГЭ, отнеситесь к подготовке очень серьезно. Найдите педагога, который был бы заинтересован в ваших результатах и который вместе с вами углубился во все нюансы написания письма личного характера. Помните: высокие баллы по ЕГЭ – это ваше дальнейшее образование, карьера и, в конце концов, жизнь.
