•  I took this photo in one of the beautiful parks in Edinburgh when I was on my trip to Scotland two years ago. It is quite amazing, isn’t it? 
• In the foreground of the photo you can see two girlfriends spending their free time hanging around. They might study or work together.  They seem to be in a good mood. They both are wearing all Scottish style suits. Moreover, the girl on the left has got an incredible hat which perfectly matches the rest of her clothing. The most stunning thing that caught my eye was her hair done in dreadlocks. In her right hand she is carrying a black handbag made of leather.  
• In the background of the picture there are a lot of green trees with bushy (thick) crown. It was early September and it happened to be a very warm and sunny day. But nevertheless some people put on their jackets because the weather is very changeable and unpredictable on the British Isles. The man on the right who is wearing a checked shirt might be a tourist because he has got a blue backpack. As you can see at this particular moment the place is not overcrowded, so I think, it is great to enjoy your leisure time with your nearest and dearest in such a place. 
• I keep this picture in my album to recollect the pleasant moments of my journey to Scotland
• I asked the girls a permisssion to take their picture because I liked the style they were dressed up and I decided to show it to you because you are also keen on wearing unusual and freakish hats and maybe, the picture will give you some new ideas.
• That is all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)

•  I took this photo during my winter holidays when we went to the ski resort in the Caucasus. After the Winter Olympic Games 2014, Sochi attracts lots of tourists both from Russia and from around the world.
• In the foreground of the picture you can see two children: a boy and a girl. They came here from Novosibirsk. They told me that they had started to ski when they were only three years old, that’s why they look very confident on the snowy mountain slopes. The children are wearing bright ski suits made of special fabrics that protect them from cold and at the same time are very light that helps them move quickly. They also have all the necessary skiing equipment for this kind of sport such as alpine skis, plastic boots with special bindings, helmets, ski poles and goggle mounts.
• In the background of the picture you can see mountain peaks covered with snow and some kind of pines. You can’t see the mountains quite well from behind the clouds but I should say it is a common phenomenon in this area.
• At the very particular moment the children are learning a new downhill technique. And now they stopped for a while to take breath. Sometimes I saw them landing in a fall but they went to square one again and again. They didn’t give up, so I should admit that they have got strong willpower. As you can see they look very healthy and happy. I believe that it’s very useful to take up to sport from childhood. This will teach you to overcome difficulties in life, will teach you to win or to lose.
• I keep this photo in my album because we made friends with the family from Novosibirsk and their cute kids and I want to remember the beautiful moments of my vacation.
• I decided to show you this photo because I want you to appreciate these two young sportsmen and the beauty of the Caucasus Mountains (nature).

• I took this photo in London Zoo when I was on my trip to the UK a year ago. To tell the truth, I’m not very good at photography but this picture turned out to be a beautiful one.
• In the foreground of the picture you can see a colony of pelicans. You can’t but agree with me that pelicans are large birds with very long beaks. They have a long neck and short stout legs with webbed feet. The tail is short and square.  They have pale plumage with some grey feathers on the wings.
• On the left of the picture there is a pond where the birds can swim. The zoo keeper told us a lot of interesting things about pelicans. She explained us that some species could make their nests in the trees while the others nest on the ground. It was interesting to know that they can fly but cannot dive because of their light skeleton. I also learnt that pelicans live up to 25 years in the wild and up to 40 years in captivity. But the most amazing fact is that pelicans never store their food in their throat pouch contrary to popular folklore. They use it for catching fish.
• In the background of the picture you can see a girl taking photos. At this particular moment the birds are cleaning their feathers after being fed. Guess what! We were allowed to give them some fish and it was really exciting! All in all the weather was warmish and I had a great time there.
• I took this photo because I had never seen those birds before in real life and wanted to remember all places I had visited in London. That’s why I keep it in my album.
• I decided to show you this photo because you are interested in photography and have got a big collection of snapshots of  birds. I think, it would be great if you could add my picture to it.
• That’s all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)

Speaking Part

Task 1

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. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

The first maps were drawn by explorers to help them find their way home and show people where they had been. The maps showed the shape of the land, distances between places and special features such as caves and old trees. Nowadays, maps show the towns and villages, and the roads, railways, rivers and mountains. Symbols are used to show all the different things on a map and there is a key to explain what the symbols stand for.

Over the centuries, people explored most of the Earth and put together the map of the world we use today. Maps of the world or large areas are often either “political” or “physical”. The political map shows territorial borders. The purpose of the physical map is to show features of geography such as mountains, soil type or land use including roads, railroads and buildings.

Enjoy watching!

 

Sample answer

I’ve chosen photo number 1. (Обязательно начните свой ответ с этой фразы, предварительно выбрав номер фотографии.)

Well, recently I have decided to start a blog about a healthy lifestyle. I write short stories about healthy food. Also, I often take pictures of my friends and relatives to show to my followers (readers) which exercises they do to keep fit. (вступление) 3

So, this picture was taken a week ago when my sister and I went jogging in our park near the river. 1

In the foreground of the photo you can see my elder sister Stacy. She is running in the park at the moment. The morning is sunny and quite warm, so Stacy is wearing a nice T-shirt. (I should say that coral is her favourite colour.) She looks pretty slim because she does her regular exercises and keeps on a healthy diet (maintains a balanced diet). She says it always helps her to be in a good mood and shape. (6)

In the background of the picture there are lots of green trees. The air is usually fresh in the morning. And I think it’s the best time for doing sports. (3)

I keep this photo in my album because I am going to use it on my blog. (1)

I know that you are trying to lose some weight. So, I show you the photo of my sister to encourage you to take up jogging. Also, to gain the best results, you can follow her eating habits advice. (3)

That’s all I wanted to say. (фраза для экзаменатора)

Task 4

Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:

• give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
• say what the pictures have in common
• say in what way the pictures are different
• say which of the ways of reading a book presented in the pictures you’d prefer
• explain why

You will speak for not more than 2 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.

Sample answer

Now I will compare and contrast [kən´traːst] these two photos.

I’d like to stress out right from the beginning that such hobby as reading gives you an excellent opportunity to learn new things wherever you are: at home, on the bus, at the sunny beach and even in the queue (in the line). And these two photos prove that. (вступительная фраза) (2)

So, the theme which relates these photos is a reading activity. (1)

Let me start with the first picture which shows a young girl who is sitting on the sofa. She might be in her flat at the moment. She is absorbed in reading. I cannot say for sure but it seems to me she is holding an e-book in her hands. (4)

As for the second picture you can see a young girl who is travelling by underground (metro). She is standing near the window and is reading a book, too. I really like her clothes. This checkered short-sleeved shirt makes her look pretty stylish. (4)

As I’ve already mentioned both pictures depict young girls that are reading right now. And this is the main similarity between them. Also both girls are practically of the same age. (2)

The most evident (obvious) difference between these pictures is that in the first picture you can see a girl who is enjoying reading in a cozy couch at home while in the second picture the girl is shown reading in public transport. Besides, the girl in the first picture is wearing a lovely dressing gown whilst the girl in the second picture is wearing her casual clothing. (Besides, the girls are wering totally different clothing items.)  Moreover, the girl in picture 1 is using a modern electronic gadget whereas the girl in picture 2 prefers reading a hardback. (3)

In conclusion I would like to say that as I am a fan of modern technologies, I would prefer to read an e-book sitting comfortably in my room. (1)

Anyway, it is great if you are keen on reading. (1) (Завершающая фраза)

I’ve come to the end of my talk. Thank you for listening.  ( Фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации. Она не оценивается.)

Vocabulary

short-sleeved / long-sleeved  shirt /sliːvd/ — рубашка с длинными / короткими рукавами

checkered /ˈtʃekəd/ – рубашка в клетку

dressing gown /ɡaʊn/  – халат (robe AE)

a hardback – книга в жестком переплете

I cannot say it for sure — Не могу сказать наверняка

Задание 4. Вариант ответа

These pictures are about places where people can live in.

In the first picture we see a large industrial city. In the second picture there is a small village.

There are not many similarities between these two pictures. I think that what unites them is that in both pictures we can see buildings, houses and roads.

There are more differences than similarities between these two pictures. I’ll name some of them. Firstly, the first picture shows a densely populated city with lots of tall buildings and blocks of flats, while the second picture depicts a rural area with a lot of green land and some old houses. Secondly, the city is located near a river, whereas the village is situated at the foot of the mountain. Another difference concerns transport. There isn’t any means of transport in the second picture. In contrast, in the first picture we can see a steamboat and a lot of cars on the bridge across the river. Furthermore, we can guess that the first picture was taken in summer, while the other picture shows an autumn day.

Personally, I’d prefer city life to country life. A city is a place where there are more places to go to, a wide variety of attractions that can’t be found in the countryside. Besides, a city can give young people great opportunities to continue their education. And that is very important for me because I’m going to study at a university.
