You have to talk for 2 minutes. The teacher will listen until you have finished. Then he/she will ask you some questions.
2. Reading aloud. You are going to read the text about the invention of a motorised suitcase aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.
Pulling your suitcase around while travelling can be tiring. Why not ride on your suitcase then? The clever invention of a drivable suitcase has come from the brilliant mind of a Chinese farmer. The suitcase can reach up to 20 kilometres per hour and has a battery life of 6 hours. The thing is really practical for people both travelling and working. It’s both a piece of luggage as well as a way for transportation. The inventor is sure this quick luggage will be a hit. First, it’s easy to carry. Secondly, it will be sold at a low price. Thirdly, it will solve some problems that every country has, such as heavy traffic and parking problems. And finally, it won’t cause any environmental pollution.
3. Oral report. You are going to give a talk about travelling in Russia. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
- about the most interesting places to visit;
- about the most enjoyable activities to do while travelling;
- what you would advise to your foreign friend who is planning to visit Russia.
You have to talk continuously.
1) Role play
A: I’d like us to choose a tour we both enjoy. Let’s look at all the options. The first one is Russian Winter in Karelia. It includes Petrozavodsk and Kizhi, hotel or homestay accommodation, horse-riding, skiing and sightseeing. It costs 7000 roubles for 5 days.
B: It sounds interesting. I like winter activities, but I’m not sure about the weather.
A: The second tour is Christmas Holidays in Russia. We can visit Novgorod and Veliky Ustyug, stay in a camp, and take part in Christmas celebrations and sports. But it is quite expensive — 13,500 roubles for 5 days.
B: Yes, it is a bit expensive. What about the third one?
A: Lake Baikal is cheaper — only 4,500 roubles for 3 days. We can stay in a homestay or camp and go fishing, skiing and skateboarding.
B: That’s a good price, but it is only for 3 days. We need a whole week together.
A: The last tour is Two Capitals. We can visit Moscow and St Petersburg, stay in a hotel, go sightseeing and travel by train or guided coach tour. It costs 10,500 roubles for 4 days.
B: I like this tour best. Moscow and St Petersburg are very famous, and sightseeing sounds exciting.
A: I agree. It is interesting and not too expensive. We can also afford some extra activities.
B: Great! Let’s choose Two Capitals.
2) Invitation to my hometown
Come to my hometown! It is a beautiful and friendly place with a rich history and many interesting sights. One of the special things about my hometown is its peaceful atmosphere and old architecture.
There are many tourist attractions here: a central square, a local museum, a park, a river embankment and several historic buildings. In summer, tourists can walk around the city, take photos, visit museums and enjoy boat trips. In winter, they can go skating, skiing and enjoy the snowy streets.
I think my hometown could be the best place for you because it is not crowded, but it is still very interesting. You can learn more about Russian life, relax and have a great time here. I’m sure you will enjoy your holiday in my hometown.
