They had crossed a river and now their socks and shoes werewet. It was terrible! They were so tired, they wanted to eat and sleep.

At last, they stopped for the night. Dad set up the tents and made a fire, then he caught some fish in the river for supper.

“What's that noise?” Catherine asked.

“HOO! HOO! HOO!”

Dad laughed. “It's only an owl. Now go back to sleep, please!”

“CROAK! CROAK! CROAK!"

“EEEEEEE!” screamed the girls.

“That's just a frog. It won't hurt you. Please go to sleep, girls!" Mum said.

Later that night, Laura woke up again. She looked outside the tent and saw a big shadow. She screamed again, “EEEEEEE! Dad! Help!”

“Girls, it's only me,” Mum said. “It was cold so I went to get another blanket out of my backpack.”

The next morning, the girls felt a little silly about the night before.

“We're sorry, Mum, Dad. We were like babies,” said the sisters.

"It's all right girls," Dad said. “At least tonight you won’t be scared because you know what those noises are.”

They hiked a long way that day and were tired. The girls happily dimed into their tent and dad wished everyone “good night”.

Some time ago the British had a very difficult money system. There were twelve pence in a shilling and twenty shillings in a pound. It means that they had more than one hundred pence in one pound. For a tourist it was almost impossible to understand and use this system. But in 1971 it was changed to a simpler one. One pound is now one hundred pence, which is the same as in most money systems of the world.

You can sometimes think that over half of the people you in the streets of London in summer see are not Londoners, and most of them are not British at all. This is because London is one of the most popular cities of the world. Millions of people come here every year. So you can hear a lot of different languages ​​on buses, in the Underground, in cafes and restaurants.

1. How many pennies were there in one pound before 1971?
2. Is British money system different from systems of European countries now?
3. When do most tourists come to London?
4. Why can you hear a lot of languages ​​in the streets of London?

Leonardo da Vinci

When they hear the name Leonardo da Vinci, most people think of his famous painting, Mona Lisa. This picture is in an art gallery in Paris, and it is visited by millions of tourists every year.

But Leonardo wasn't just a painter. He was also a talented inventor, engineer, architect and sculptor. He was full of new and exciting ideas.

Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 at his father's country home near the town of Vinci in Italy. He spent his childhood surrounded by the wonders of nature, perhaps watching animals and insects that were all around him.

Leonardo was hungry for knowledge. He studied the world around him and drew the things he saw. He read everything he could find, listened to other people's ideas, and made notes of the things he learned. Some of his notebooks were as large as wall posters, and others were small enough to carry in his pocket. Many have been lost , but some of them were published in the 1800s and can be seen today.

Although he was full of new ideas, Leonardo didn't build many of his inventions. One of his notebooks includes a drawing of a person with a parachute. Only 300 years later, in 1783, a Frenchman became the first person who made and used a parachute.

Leonardo did lots of drawings of arms and legs and other parts of the body and he designed a mechanical man - a robot! This robot could sit up, wave its arms, move its head and open and close its mouth.

Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519. He was truly a man ahead of his time.

a) a fairy tale b) a biography c) an adventure story d) science fiction

Robot technologies in our home

here are lots of science fiction books and films about robots. Nice and humanlike metal and plastic creatures often become children's friends there. Robots learn how to distinguish between good and evil, and how to become a friend to a human being. To our surprise and delight we find out that robots are able to experience feelings - they can feel happy, upset, and even angry.(1). They can even risk their lives(2) for someone they love.

Is artificial intellect a pure fantasy or are there any scientific discoveries behind this idea?(3) What we know for sure is that robotics is a rapidly developing technology, and soon we can expect robots to enter our houses and stay there for a long time. It's already happening in Japan, where machines of all shapes and sizes are widely used.

Reading

Read the text and fill in the gaps with sentences A-G. There is one sentence you do not need.

Pets create a very special atmosphere at home, they add to the feeling of coziness and safety. They help us cope with stress and, being dependent and helpless in our world, make us feel important and worthwhile.(1) They wouldn't survive in our flats and houses if we didn't bring them food from the pet shops and essential vitamins from the vet clinics. They need us because a dog needs walking, a horse needs rubbing, and a goldfish wants the water in the tank to be clean and clear.

Some psychologists say that people who are lonely and non-confident tend to keep exotic pets. Those people hope that an unusual pet can add to their identity, put them aside from the crowd and help gain popularity with other people.(2) We pretend that we treat them as members of the family and try to impose our love on them. However, sooner or later the question emerges: do we have the right to sort out our own problems at animals’ expense?(3)

Scientists and environmentalists speak strongly against the so-called pet lovers, who adopt a kitten or a puppy just to please the kid or because of some impulse. Even the animals which have been living with people for centuries and have already adjusted to our world, need much more than their owner’s love. They need care based on knowledge, otherwise they'll cause problems to you and their life will turn into a miserable experience. Before adopting a little hamster you need to find out everything about its eating habits and peculiarities of the cage housing. You need also to be aware that the pet requires everyday care and that you may find it monotonous and boring.

(4) Milagres, an Australian koala, could be considered a lucky one as she got to the zoo in time for the vets to save her. A European tourist had illegally exported her from Australia, as he was obsessed with the idea of ​​keeping that cute animal in his backyard. “I was going to plant a Eucalyptus tree in my back garden, and I thought that keeping a koala wouldn’t be such a problem”, he explained later. That was a dangerous misconception.(5) It can't digest hard and thick eucalyptus leaves, and that's why you need to have from one to six hundred eucalyptus trees to keep your koala happy and healthy. The number of trees depends on the climate - the more humid the climate is, thefewer trees you need (within the range given above).(6)

Little koala Milagres exemplifies a big problem caused by ignorant pet owners. Wild animals are neither toys nor interior design accessories and putting them in a wrong environment makes them suffer and eventually kills them.

A.When exotic animals are kept as pets, ignorance is even more dangerous and cruel.

b.Though koalas’ eating habits have been studied by scientists, the information about their diet is fragmentary and incomplete.

C.This is why lots of crocodiles, snakes and lizards, gorillas and cockatoos become inhabitants of densely populated, traffic jammed megalopolises.

D.Do we have the right to keep a crock in the bath, or a dolphin in the swimming pool?

E.Apparently, only zoo specialists are able to provide the animal with an appropriate menu.

F.We understand that the most fierce and dangerous creatures are vulnerable and helpless in people's world.

G.In fact, the koala is very particular about the diet - it eats only very fresh green leaves, springs and sprouts.

The need for ever more qualified specialists is growing geometrically. The world is getting more and more complex and today's graduates are expected to know a lot and to be ableto work with loads of information. The information they get may be highly controversial and to assess it, young people need to understand the interconnections between politics, cultures, economies and technologies around the world. Due to globalization, education has practically ceased to function as a local system which trains workers for local industries. Today national education systems have to be changed(1) .

Languages ​​awareness is one of the essential requirements to a graduate today. Whatever field you are going to work in, you’ll have to communicate with colleagues, partners, providers or clients all over the world. To do it effectively you need sufficiently developed communication skills,(2) . Lots of people understand the importance of foreign languages(3) . If you have already left school, is it still possible to acquire the necessary language skills and make up for opportunities missed in school years? Most teachers would say “yes”, you can learn languages ​​in any age and get impressive results(4) .

The innovations are particularly helpful to people who don't have much time and cannotspend days in the language classroom. Over recent years computers have become increasingly important for learning languages. Computer technologies and the internet enable students to learn languages(5) . IT technologies save time and it’s the main reason why e-learning and various online courses are getting more and more popular. From home, or while commuting they can practice vocabulary, grammar or write essays(6) . There are special pieces of software that can record the students’ speech and programs for work on pronunciation. Motivation for learning languages ​​is increasing too.

One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been the invention of computers. They help us, fascinate us and occasionally scare us. The latest fear concerns children and computers. Some experts claim that brothers and sisters are starting to play more with computers than with one another, and that computers are distancing children from their parents.

Walking round a toyshop you find a home computer game to satisfy any child's imagination. Adult computer addicts are familiar violent figures: pale people who sit in front of green screens hour after hour. That is their choice. But the idea of ​​a child living in front of a flashing green screen is somehow less acceptable. Canadian child psychologist Jams-Norton explains: These are children with few friends, afraid of making conversation. They are children who are usually allowed to do what they want. long periods of time except in front of the screen. If the computer games they play are violent," she adds, "they become indifferent to violence faster than they would through watching violent videos."

A frightening picture starts to appear. Jams-Norton sees a good number of troubled children. They usually persuade their parents to buy them a computer by saying it "will help their education." Computers, after all, are a central part of education today. Some educationalists enthusiastically look forward to the day when every child will have a personal computer in the class room and the class teacher will be nothing but a technician. That is not particularly appealing either, although with the current lack of teachers someone may soon decide it makes good economic sense. Janis-Norton disapproves of such an attitude, it is relationships with the teacher and the other pupils that make you learn."

We may be at a sort of crossroads. It is a question of whether we use the machines wisely or stupidly in bringing up children. "The computer," says the child psychologist, "is only a surface problem but the real problem is not computers. It is parents who have forgotten how to be parents, or don"t have the confidence. I wish they "d start noticing and worrying about what is happening a bit sooner.

1 . People are worried that children "s dependence on computers may result in

1. serious learning difficulties.

3 . computer dependent children

1. concentrate on the screen for short periods only.

1. become violent or aggressive
2. find it hard to communicate with other children.
3. stammer more often than other children

1. Every teacher will have a PC in the classroom
2. It will be too expensive to give each schoolchild a computer.
3. Children will be educated at home using computers.
4. Most teaching will be done by computers

5 . What is the real behind children's dependence on computers, according to the child psychologist?

1. Children's learning can be slowed down.
2. Parents do not participate in their children's education.
3. Children regard computers as toys not tools.

Reference on the results of the analysis of the results of the regional diagnostic work on the English language of students in the 7th grade of educational institutions of the Yeysk district

In pursuance of the order of the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the Krasnodar Territory dated September 21, 2017 No. 3913 "On the assessment of the quality of training of students of general educational institutions of the Krasnodar Territory in the 2017-2018 academic year", monitoring of the quality of students' knowledge was carried out 7 classes according to English language educational institutions of the Yeysk region.

Target : establishing the level of education, fulfilling the requirements of the State Educational Standard and monitoring the quality of students' knowledge.

The monitoring was carried out in the form of a regional diagnostic work (4 options) on the basis of control and measuring materials developed by specialists from the Krasnodar Territory.

The monitoring study was attended by 1062 students 7th grades of the educational institution of the Yeisk region.

Of those who performed, they managed876 students, which is 82.5%; didn't get the job done186 students, which is 17.5%. On "4" and "5" the work was done206 students, which is 19.4%, completed the work for "3"670 students, which is 63.1%.

Analysis of the content of regional diagnostic work

The work consisted of 4 options and had the following structure:

Section 1 "Listening" includesExercise 1 to understand the main content of the texts.

Section 2 "Reading":Tasks 2 And Tasks 3-10 - Comprehension of reading texts.

Section 3 "Grammar and Vocabulary":Tasks 11-24 include lexico-grammatical tasks that require a short answer.

listening

In the task control work the ability to understand by ear the main content of the texts and the ability to understand the requested information in the listened texts were tested. With datatask 1 coped 22,28 % students.

The results for section 1 indicate that most of the participantsfailed with assignments. Students do not have the ability to understand the requested information in the listening text.

Reading

Section 2: "Reading" tested the ability to read the text with an understanding of the main content; the ability to understand the requested information in the read text.

In order to complete the task, students were asked totask 2 And assignments 3–10 . The data obtained from the results of the test in this section allow us to analyze the level of formation of the above skills.

Average percentage completedtask 2 - 21.1%, average percentage completedassignments 3–10 made up 45,21 %. The task was as follows: it was necessary to read the text and determine which of the given statements correspond to the content of the text, which do not correspond, and what the text does not say. Average completion percentagesection 2 made up 33,16%.

The results for section 2 in task 2 are critically low, the results of task 3-10 are about twice as high, but remain atlow level .

Grammar and vocabulary

The task of the tasks in the section "Grammar and Vocabulary" was to check the level of formation of the skill of students to use language units in a communicative context.

In order to complete the task, two tasks were included in the "Grammar and Vocabulary" section:

1) checking grammatical skills (Tasks 11-16);

2) checking lexical skills (Tasks 17–24).

Average percentage completedassignments 11–16 made up 53,33 %; average percentage completedassignments 17–24 made up 34,48 %. Average completion percentagesection 3 made up 43,9%.

The results for section 3 also showedlow level learning.

The tasks of the "Listening" section turned out to be the most difficult for students.

Students should be taught to read assignments carefully. You should use different strategies for working with sounding / printed text depending on the communicative task: with understanding the main content or with the search for the requested information (sections "Listening Tasks" and "Reading Tasks"). At the same time, it must be taken into account that in the text (sounding / printed) the main idea is expressed in a different way (using synonyms) than in the text of the task;

In tasks for finding the requested information, students should be able to highlight the requested information and ignore unnecessary (secondary). In reading assignments (10-17), it is important that students understand the difference between False (incorrect) and Not Stated (not stated in the text). The answer False (wrong) means that the statement contradicts the information presented in the text. The answer Not Stated (not stated in the text) indicates that the text does not say anything about this. When choosing an answer, it is necessary to proceed only from the information presented in the read text, and not to use general knowledge on the topic covered in the text, or rely on your own opinion;

It is worth accustoming students to carefully read the text that needs to be restored (section "Vocabulary Tasks"); find marker words in sentences that will prompt the use of the desired word;

In order to optimize the preparation for the CRA, it is recommended to organize the learning process in the following areas:

– development of communicative competence (proficiency in English);

– mastering strategies of various kinds of listening and reading, as well as strategies for completing tasks to control grammatical and lexical skills.

School administrations:

Strengthen control over the conduct of English lessons, additional classes in this parallel.
