Speaking Skills

Task 1 (3 minutes)

1 RNE Imagine 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 aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Smartphones are everywhere today. But now there is also the smartwatch. Some people think there is no point in owning one. They do everything a smartphone can do. The only difference is that a smartwatch is worn on the wrist.

However, this can make a big difference for some people. Athletes and fitness freaks, for instance, use smartwatches as fitness trackers. Being in contact with the skin, these gadgets can read body functions. They can tell you how far you've run and at what speed. They can also keep track of your heart rate, calorie intake and sleep patterns. Business people, too, may find a smartwatch useful. They are more discreet at meetings. You can check messages and other information without the need to unlock your mobile phone. Wearing one also means you are less likely to miss a call. A slight vibration on your wrist is sufficient to let you know someone is trying to contact you.

2 a) Listen to two students reading the text. Who gave a better reading?

6 Listen to a student talking about the photos. What comparisons and contrasts did the student make? Which museum did the student think young children would find more interesting and why?

Òåêñò àóäèðîâàíèÿ:

In the first photo, we can see some people in a natural history museum walking round viewing prehistoric exhibits. The second photo shows us another group of people in a science museum wandering along an aisle next to some glass display cases. The photos are similar in that they both show interiors of museums with visitors in big exhibition halls. Another thing they have in common is that it is probably fairly warm in there, judging by the clothes people are wearing. These are both educational opportunities to learn about the past. The main difference, of course, is the exhibits themselves. Photo number one shows the colossal skeleton of a dinosaur with its enormous ribcage and huge jaws. Photo number two, on the other hand, shows us a more technologically based exhibition - a vintage car, some other old models and an old warplane, I think it is, suspended from the ceiling. Also, there is some contrast in the visitors. In the first picture, they seem to be more actively engaged in what they are seeing. Someone in the foreground is taking a photo of the dinosaur and there is a small school group in red uniforms in the background who appear to be studying the skeleton. In the second picture, we get the impression that people are just passing through - maybe to see some interactive exhibits further on. I think that young children would find the museum in photo one more interesting. I say this because I believe dinosaurs appeal to kids’ imaginations in a way that old cars and trains wouldn’t. Dinosaurs, for kids, are both scary and fun!
