Пояснение.
Hey, Kate. You know that? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project “Desserts”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.
These pictures are relevant to our project because there are people eating something sweet. In the first photo there are two ladies, both of them are pretty young, sitting in a cafe and, apparently, tasting something. In the second photo there are two girls as well, they also seem to be tasting a watermelon, but, most likely, in their own garden. Obviously, both of these pictures feature people in the process of dining. But there are some differences to illustrate our project better. In the first picture the ladies are in a cafe, surrounded by other people and they are tasting delicious cakes as opposed to the couple in the second picture, who are enjoying the peace and comfort of their home and they are eating watermelon.
In my opinion, the two kinds of desserts have their advantages. For instance, cakes are usually delicious, sometimes they have unforgettable taste. However, eating fruit is much healthier. Of course, the ways of spending spare time have disadvantages too. For example, cakes are generally high in calories. At the same time, every fruit is good in its season, and exotic fruits can cause allergic response.
As for me, I’d prefer eating fruits in summer. It seems to me that I like all kinds of fruits so that I’d choose them as a dessert in summertime.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.

The London Underground is the oldest underground metro network in the world, with parts operating since 1863. Because the underground doesn’t have to worry about traffic and streets, it is one of the most efficient ways to get around, and usually the best choice. The tube stations are easily recognisable. They have the distinctive London Underground logo, a red circle with the text “Underground” featured in a blue box.
Today, the London Underground carries over a billion passengers a year, across 270 stations and 250 miles of track. Interestingly, less than 50% of the track is actually underground, despite the name. As a rule, it gets very crowded with commuters during rush hour on weekdays. This is between 7:30 am and 9:30 am in the morning, and 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm in the evening from Monday through Friday.

Questions & Model Answers: Toys
What should be considered when buying toys for children?
I reckon one important thing to think about is the age of the child. If a child is only a couple of years old, you shouldn’t give them toys which contain small parts that could be swallowed and cause the child to choke. Another thing to consider is whether the toy will continue to entertain the child for a certain period of time. What I mean is, if the toy will only interest a child for 5 minutes, it isn’t really worth buying. It’s better to choose something that they will enjoy for months or years.
How have toys changed compared to the past?
I guess the main change is in electronic toys or battery operated toys. In the past, people used to only give simple toys to their children that were often handmade. Nowadays, people prefer mass produced toys that are the recent trend. Those types of toys are often exciting electronic toys, such as computer games. Another difference is that toys decades ago were often so simple that children had to use their imagination and creativity to find enjoyment in using them. I think today’s toys stimulate less creativity in children on the whole.
Why do parents buy a lot of toys for their children?
I guess some parents are materialistic. They think that if they buy many toys for their kids, they are being a good parent. Another reason is that children have short attention spans which means that some parents buy toys to keep their child quiet and out of their way. But I think the main reason is probably the power of advertising and peer pressure which drive children to want more toys and pushes parents to buy them.
Is it good for children to play with toys?
Yes, I think so. Some toys that can be bought are educational and are very important for early learning. Educational toys provide a great way for children to develop skills, such as spatial awareness, motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Furthermore, toys can give children a safe way to explore the world and learn about colours, shapes and textures. However, I must admit that some toys for older children, such as computer games, can become addictive and, at that point, those types of toys are not beneficial.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Tips
Length of answer
Keep talking until the examiner interrupts you. The examiner will decide if it is time to change the focus of the answer or to ask a new question completely. Speaking part 3 answers are longer than in part 1.
Content
Explain your ideas and view point. Give examples. You are not marked on your examples or ideas, but you need to show the ability to tackle complex ideas using English.
Avoid talking about yourself
Part 1 and part 2 are about you. However, part 3 questions are mostly about world issues. You need to show the examiner you can talk about more than yourself. You need to show the ability to talk about people and the world in general.
Challenging ideas
The examiner might challenge your ideas. This is a way for the examiner to test your English and check that you are able to defend your view point.

Dear Judith,
Thank you for your recent e-mail. I am always happy to receive it.
In your message you asked me a few questions. Well, I would prefer handmade rather than factory-made toys. I think that handmade toys are often made of gentle fabrics. In Russia there are a lot of games that are popular among teenagers. I guess the most popular are board games. Personally, my favorite art activity is drawing. I have been drawing since I was a kid.
Now, I’m interested in the exhibition in the city hall.
