1. Travel memories
5. Popular hobby
2. Animal lover magazine
6. Family magazine
3. Travel to stars
7. People and nature
4. Star dreams
8. Animals in danger
A. Most people who spend a holiday travelling take a camera with them and
photograph anything that interests them – sights of a city, views of mountains,
lakes, waterfalls, men and women, children, ruins of ancient buildings, and
even birds and animals. Later looking through their albums they will remember
the happy time they have had, the islands, countries and cities they have seen.
B. Of course, different people dream of different things. Someone wishes a calm
and quiet life; others imagine their life as a never-ending adventure. The
majority dream of something concrete: a villa in some warm place, an account
in a Swiss bank, a splendid car… It’s interesting to know what the dreams of
people who already have all this are. Celebrities, as we know, never hide their
unusual hobbies, and often shock us with their extravagant behaviour.
C. It is Junior Baseball Magazine’s mission to provide information that enhances
the youth baseball experience for the entire family. The player improves his
skills and is more successful. The family enjoys the activity more and shares
this precious time in their life. Junior Baseball emphasizes good sportsmanship,
safety, physical fitness and wholesome family values.
D. The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison like industrial, nuclear and
chemical waste. The Mediterranean Sea is already nearly dead; the North Sea is
following it. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is done about
it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas. Every ten minutes one
species of animal, plant or insect dies out forever.
E. Lots of people all over the world enjoy collecting stamps. Stamps are like little
pictures. Very often they show the flowers or the trees which grow in this or
that country, or they can show different kinds of transport of the country.
Stamps may also have portraits of famous people on them. Some stamps show
art work from the history of the country.
F. "Friend” is the title of my favourite magazine. It consists of 70 pages, with lots
of colourful and bright pictures and provides interesting and useful information
for people who love animals. The magazine includes numerous articles devoted
to various topics connected with domestic animals, ways to take care of them,
pet food, animal health and many other topics crucial for any animal lover.
G. People are beginning to realize that environmental problems are not just
somebody else’s. Many people join and support various international
organizations and green parties. Human life is the most important, and polluted
air, poisoned water, wastelands, noise, smoke, gas, exhaust all influence not
only nature but people themselves. Everything should be done to improve
ecological conditions on our planet.

Mobile phones On New Year’s Day, 1985, Michael Harrison phoned his father, Sir Ernest,
to wish him a happy new year. Sir Ernest was chairman of Racal Electronics, the
owner of Vodafone, A _______________________.
At the time, mobile phones weighed almost a kilogram, cost several

were small; Vodafone had just a dozen masts covering London. Nobody had any

in the UK every four seconds, and by 2004 there were more mobile phones in the
UK than people. The boom was a result of increased competition which pushed
prices lower and created innovations in the way that mobiles were sold.
When the government introduced more competition, companies started
cutting prices to attract more customers. Cellnet, for example, changed its prices,

The way that handsets themselves were marketed was also changing and it
was Finland’s Nokia who made E _______________________. In the late 1990s
Nokia realized that the mobile phone was a fashion item: so it offered
interchangeable covers which allowed you to customize and personalize your
handset.
The mobile phone industry has spent the later part of the past decade reducing its
monthly charge F _______________________, which has culminated in the fight
between the iPhone and a succession of touch screen rivals.
1. trying to persuade people to do more with their phones than just call and text

Llandudno Llandudno is truly a fine and handsome place, built on a generously proportioned
bay and lined along its broad front with a huddle of prim but gracious
nineteenth-century hotels that reminded me in the fading light of a lineup of
Victorian nannies. Llandudno was purpose-built as a resort in the mid-1800s,
and it cultivates a nice old-fashioned air. I don’t suppose that Lewis Carroll, who
famously strolled this front with little Alice Liddell in the 1860s, would notice a
great deal of change today.
To my consternation, the town was packed with weekending pensioners.
Buses from all over were parked along the side streets, every hotel I called at was
full, and in every dining room I could see crowds – veritable oceans – of
nodding white heads spooning soup and conversing happily. Goodness knows
what had brought them to the Welsh seaside at this bleak time of year.
Farther on along the front there stood a clutch of guesthouses, large and
virtually indistinguishable, and a few of them had vacancy signs in their windows.
I had eight or ten to choose from, which always puts me in a mild fret because I
have an unerring instinct for choosing badly. My wife can survey a row of
guesthouses and instantly identify the one run by a white-haired widow with a
fondness for children, and sparkling bathroom facilities, whereas I can generally
count on choosing the one run by a guy with a grasping manner, and the sort of
cough that makes you wonder where he puts the phlegm. Such, I felt, would be the
case tonight.
All the guesthouses had boards out front listing their many amenities –
COLOUR TV, HOSPITALITY TRAYS, FULL CENTRAL HEATING, and the coyly
euphemistic EN SUITE ALL ROOMS, meaning private bathrooms. One place offered
satellite TV and a trouser press, and another boasted CURRENT FIRE
CERTIFICATE – something I had never thought to look for in a B&B. All this
heightened my sense of unease and doom. How could I possibly choose intelligently
among such a variety of options?
I selected a place that looked reasonable enough from the outside – its
board promised a color TV and coffee making facilities, about all I require these
days for a Saturday night – but from the moment I set foot in the door I knew it
was a bad choice. I was about to turn and flee when the owner emerged from a
back room and stopped my retreat with an unenthusiastic "Yes?” A short
conversation revealed that a single room with breakfast was for £19.50. It was
entirely out of the question that I would stay the night in such a dismal place at
such an exorbitant price, so I said, "That sounds fine,” and signed in. Well, it’s
so hard to say no.
My room was everything I expected it to be – cold and cheerless with
laminated furniture, grubbily matted carpet, and those mysterious ceiling stains
coffee things but the cups were disgusting, and the spoon was stuck to the tray.
The bathroom, faintly illuminated by a distant light activated by a length of string,
had curling floor tiles and years of accumulated dirt packed into every corner.
I peered at the yellowy tile around the bath and sink and realized what the
landlord did with his phlegm. A bath was out of the question, so I threw some
cold water on my face, dried it with a towel that had the texture of shredded
wheat, and gladly took my leave.
Llandudno is described as a
1) fashionable 19th century resort.
2) beautiful growing resort.
3) place where Lewis Carroll lived.
4) place famous for its comfortable hotels.
The phrase "veritable oceans” in paragraph 2 refers to
1) hotel dining rooms.
2) hotel guests wearing white hats.
3) old people dining in cafes.
4) buses crowded with old Welsh people.
When choosing a guesthouse the narrator was worried because he
1) wasn’t good at making the right choice.
2) could not find a place run by a kind old widow.
3) did not know what to look for.
4) missed his wife for help.
The narrator thought that the choice of a guesthouse used to be easier because
1) all hotels had a private bathroom.
2) there were fewer options on offer.
3) there were fewer guest houses.
4) they were all of B&B type.
Why did the narrator agree to the room?
1) He felt sorry for the landlord.
2) He could not refuse the offer.
3) It was really cheap.
4) There was a TV and a coffee maker.
Why was the bath out of the question?
1) The water was too cold.
2) There was no hot water.
3) The bathtub was dirty.
4) There was no light.
What is the narrator’s attitude towards the room he stayed in?
1) Surprised.
2) Indifferent.
3) Positive.
4) Critical.

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A
For any celebration you have so many people to give presents to: your mates,
parents, relatives. It creates a problem of choosing an original present. I think
everybody is so tired of traditional gifts! To my mind, the simplest way out is
accessories. They are always different and can suit everybody. For family members
it may seem a good investment if it’s expensive enough and it may definitely help
your friends look great at a party!
Speaker B
As for me, I dislike pragmatic, domestic gifts. They may be useful, of course, but
when you get a present, you expect a surprise, not a new kind of washing powder.
I do not understand people who are happy to get kitchen towels, cups, dishes or
anything like that. If you do not have any innovative ideas, buy some perfume or
flowers – they are not practical, they are pleasant.
Speaker C
Honestly speaking, I’d be glad to get a weekend camping tour even to a local place
of interest. It would be the best present and the worst is perfume. Perfume is the
ultimate in personal gifts, even more than accessories. What scent a person chooses
is unique and usually very subjective. It also looks like a last-minute decision
which may seem impolite, unless you are absolutely sure in your choice, which, as
I said is a rare case.
Speaker D
Giving and receiving presents can be stressful. A picky person can dislike some
gifts or even worse – give them to somebody else. Horrible! So I found a perfect
way out – a gift certificate. For anyone who likes shopping it is ideal and you don’t
waste time trying to find something special. But there are disadvantages about
a gift certificate too. A person may think that you just didn’t want to be bothered
and get offended, so it’s not a universal present after all.
Speaker E
If you can afford it, try not to give things, but experiences as a present. It is not
necessarily something very expensive. Tickets to the first night performance or to a
new exhibition in an art gallery, or anywhere else will do fine. It is even better if
you can go there together and share these experiences. Take a camera with you and
take pictures! Such a present will leave long-standing memories which are dear
themselves.
Speaker F
Living in a high-tech world, it would not be unusual to buy gadgets as a present. If
your friend commutes, it can be an iPod, if your friend is very busy – an electronic
organizer will be an excellent idea. There are millions of choices and they are not
expensive either. Such a present can show the person exactly how much thought
you put into choosing the perfect gift taking into account his or her way of life and
needs.

Jane: Hello, Peter! What are you doing here in the library? I often come to the
reading room but I have never seen you here before!
Peter: Hello, Jane. That’s right – you could not have possibly seen me here.
I come round to change my books or look through some journals now and then
during the term time, but that is it. The end of the term is different, of course.
Jane: Why so?
Peter: Well, you know, the exams are coming and I am getting a bit nervous.
Jane: Have you missed many classes then?
Peter: Not many, really, but the fact is that I did just the bare minimum even for
my major! There is a lot of information which went over my head completely. My
group mates have lent me their notes but they are of very little use. They are really
brief, as a rule, so I cannot make out a single thing of them!
Jane: So, you have missed not classes, but opportunities if I can put it this way.
Peter: I guess you can. Do you think I will be able to catch up with the rest of the
group? I doubt it. I have been using my computer much to put all the information
in proper schemes and tables but that does not seem to be helping much.
Jane: It is totally up to you! If you are determined to succeed, you will have to
spend days and nights with books and your computer.
Peter: What worries me is the language course. It seems totally impossible!
Jane: Yes, that will be the most difficult one for you. You simply cannot expect to
take in all the words and grammar rules in just a few nights.
Peter: Do you think I will fail it then?
Jane: Peter, be more optimistic! If the teacher sees you have tried to do at least
something, she will appreciate it, I am sure.
Peter: Thank you, Jane; you are such a good friend! How about you? Are you
ready for your exams? I bet you are!
Jane: Actually, I am not so sure about Literature. I think I am on the teacher’s
blacklist for not meeting deadlines with some of the essays.
Peter: You will pass, do not worry!
Jane: Well, let us hope for the best!

Now we are ready to start.
Presenter: With us in the studio today we have the owner of famous British
Vintage Inns. Good afternoon, Mr. Mitchell.
Michael Mitchell: Good afternoon, but, please, call me Michael.
Presenter: So, Michael, what is so special about Vintage Inns for Englishmen or
tourists?
Michael Mitchell: I must say one of our greatest advantages is that we are in
really prime places. Imagine a summer’s day, a river gently flowing past as you
enjoy a light lunch or an evening meal with friends. Or, maybe, it is winter and you
sit in front of a log fire. Our inns are always in a quaint village in the heart of the
English countryside which makes it attractive for both nostalgic British people and
enthusiastic tourists.
Presenter: As I understand, most of your inns have their own gardens.
Michael Mitchell: Yes, it is certainly true. They are every bit as pleasant as the
places the inns are in – ideal for a meal in fine weather, which is, of course,
seasonal.
Presenter: Still, competition is high in your sphere. Being not so close to centers
of big cities, what do you do to make sure people will drive specially to you?
Michael Mitchell: Actually, I do nothing special to attract potential customers.
You see, I do not have to as the inns are generally located in places worth visiting
and many are close to enchanting walks. Very often there is a Vintage Inn close to
a stately home or a historic village or another tourist attraction. What could be a
better way to spend a day off with your family? Even London pubs cannot offer
this.
Presenter: Any chain store risks becoming boring for clients as they all look
exactly the same. What do you think about this opinion?
Michael Mitchell: I’d like to say that every Vintage Inn is different, but they are
all the same. All our inns will definitely offer the same high quality menu and
standards of service. All our landlords and ladies share the same passion for
‘getting it right’. However, each Vintage Inn has its own unique character. You
will discover thatched roofs, soft, natural slate, buildings of hewn stone. There are
Tudor, Georgian, Victorian and many more styles of architecture, including
modern ones.
Presenter: What about food in Vintage Inns?
Michael Mitchell: What we offer is best described as leaning towards traditional
home style cooking but with a contemporary twist. Still, we do allow the best of
great food from around the world to add a little influence on what we do. Many of
our dishes are our own creation – and all dishes are designed to look tempting and
great on the plate.
Presenter: Is there a difference between an afternoon menu and an evening one?
Michael Mitchell: Well, on working days at lunch time you can choose anything
from a range of sandwiches to full three-course meals. Our evening meals also
offer lighter choices but includes fish, chicken, pasta, salads, steaks and pies too.
On Sundays we include a choice of traditional roasts and puddings.
Presenter: What is your booking policy? You must have a long line of people
wishing to visit your places!
Michael Mitchell: I know many people prefer to book for their Friday dinner well
beforehand. Nevertheless, in fact, at Vintage Inns you cannot book! That is
because we are always ready to welcome you – seven days a week. Just turn up
and we will make you feel welcome, even if you choose to come at the busiest
time. As soon as a table is vacant, you can have it.
Presenter: Thank you, Michael.
Michael Mitchell: Pleasure.

Порядок подсчета слов в заданиях раздела «Письмо»
При оценивании заданий раздела «Письмо» (С1–С2) следует учитывать
такой параметр, как объём письменного текста, выраженный в количестве
слов. Требуемый объём для личного письма в задании С1 – 100–140 слов; для
развёрнутого письменного высказывания в задании С2 – 200–250 слов.
Допустимое отклонение от заданного объёма составляет 10%. Если в
выполненном задании С1 менее 90 слов или в задании С2 менее 180 слов, то
задание проверке не подлежит и оценивается в 0 баллов. При превышении
объёма более чем на 10%, т. е. если в выполненном задании С1 более
154 слов или в задании С2 более 275 слов, проверке подлежит только та часть
работы, которая соответствует требуемому объёму. Таким образом, при
проверке задания С1 отсчитывается от начала работы 140 слов, задания С2 –
250 слов, и оценивается только эта часть работы.
При определении соответствия объёма представленной работы
вышеуказанным требованиям считаются все слова, начиная с первого слова
по последнее, включая вспомогательные глаголы, предлоги, артикли,
частицы. В личном письме адрес, дата, подпись также подлежат подсчету.
При этом:
− стяжённые (краткие) формы can't, didn't, isn't, I'm и т. п. считаются как
одно слово;
− числительные, выраженные цифрами, т. е. 1; 25; 2009, 126204 и т. п.,
считаются как одно слово;
− числительные, выраженные словами, считаются как слова;
− сложные слова, такие как good-looking, well-bred, English-speaking,
twenty-five, считаются как одно слово;
− сокращения, например USA, e-mail, TV, CD-rom, считаются как одно
слово.
