Сегодня мы публикуемем задания демонстрационной версии контрольно-измерительных материалов ЕГЭ по английскому языку 2003г, помещенной на информационном сайте МО РФ. Задания подготовлены авторским коллективом «Петербургский тест». В основе предлагаемых материалов лежит стандартизированный тест, который разрабатывался в течение пяти лет в рамках российско-британского проекта SPEX.
Задание №1 – высказывание по предложенной теме (предлагается раскрыть несколько пунктов). Задание №2 – диалог по ситуации (необходимо расспросить собеседника по предложенной теме, внимательно его выслушать и принять решение, исходя из полученной информации). Задание №3 – оценка ситуации (необходимо обсудить с собеседником четыре предложенных варианта и прийти к общему решению).
В роли собеседника выступит экзаменатор, проводящий экзамен. В демоверсии опубликованы не только экзаменационные задания, но и карточки экзаменаторов, которые помогут вам понять, как будет вести разговор ваш собеседник; а также, какие умения требуются для выполнения задания и оцениваются на экзамене.
В №14 нашей газеты за 2002г. мы уже давали подробные советы по поводу того, как лучше всего подготавливаться к ответам по заданиям на экзамене и вести беседу. Попробуйте выполнить устные задания еще раз. Обратите внимание на время выполнения каждого задания!
Желаем успехов!
