Вы проводите информационный поиск в ходе выполнения проектной работы. Определите, в каком из текстов A–F содержатся ответы на интересующие Вас вопросы 1–7. Один из вопросов останется без ответа. Занесите Ваши ответы в таблицу.
| 1. | How many official languages are there in the Republic of Ireland? |
| 2. | Which colour dominates on the island? |
| 3. | What do the colours of the Irish flag mean? |
| 4. | What Irish name is now used as a noun in several European languages? |
| 5. | After what Irish person did a geographical place get its name? |
| 6. | What are the two things associated with the country? |
| 7. | Why is the name of an Irishman well-known in the United States? |
| A. | One of the informal names of Ireland is ‘the Emerald Isle’. This is because of its lush greenery and rolling hills. The island country receives a lot of rain each year, which keeps the grass green and the plants blooming. Experts argue that the flora of Ireland demonstrates more than forty shades of green. |
| B. | The most famous symbol of Ireland is undoubtedly the shamrock clover. However, the official emblem of the country is the Celtic harp. Ireland is the only country in the world to have a musical instrument as its national symbol. The harp has become Ireland’s national symbol not because it was created there, but due to the collection of the oldest harps in the world which can now be seen in the museum at Trinity College in Dublin. |
| C. | There is a tricolour of green, white and orange vertical stripes on the national flag of the Republic of Ireland. The flag was designed to reflect the country’s political situation. Created in 1848, the orange stripe represents Irish Protestants. Green is for Irish Catholics and white is for the hope that peace might eventually be reached between them. |
| D. | Most people of the Republic of Ireland speak English. Itis the second official language of the country because, according to the Constitution, Irish (Gaelic) is the national language of the Republic of Ireland. Irish was the primary language that was used on the island. Though children are still taught Irish at school, the language is losing its importance. |
| E. | The White House, the official residence of the US President, was designed by an Irishman. James Hoban was born in Ireland and studied architecture in his homeland. In 1792, James Hoban won a competition for the construction of the President's house in America. He spent nine years supervising the building process. He also designed a few other important buildings in the American capital. No wonder that the name of James Hoban is famous across the ocean. |
| F. | The widely used word boycott originated in Ireland. In 1880, a campaign of isolation against Charles Boycott, a land agent, was started. He threw out the farmers from his land when they complained that the rents were too high. After that, the local shops refused to serve him, his servants left and the boy who delivered his mail disappeared too. The surname of the land agent became a word which means ‘silently ignoring somebody or something’. The word was adopted in English, French, Dutch, German, Russian etc. |

Eton is the oldest boarding school in Great Britain.

Eton
Within a ten-minute walk of Windsor Castle, across a bridge over the River Thames, there’s an old Gothic building. It is the legendary Eton College. It is one of England’s largest independent schools and one of the highest in prestige. Members of the British royal family are traditionally educated here. It was one of the best schools when first founded and remains so now; it is still commonly known as one of the greatest schools among all the schools in the world.
Following the old tradition, Eton is a full boarding school, which means all students live and study at the school with their fellow students throughout the school year. Eton is also one of the four remaining boys’ schools, so there’s no opportunity for a girl to study there. Eton students traditionally come from England’s wealthiest and most prestigious families, many of them aristocratic. Boys enter Eton at about 13 and continue to study there until they are ready to enter university.
The school was founded by Henry VI in the fifteenth century to provide free education for poor pupils who would then go on to get a higher education at King’s College in Cambridge. That connection no longer exists today.
All students have a uniform of a black tailcoat and a waistcoat, a white collar and dark trousers. All students wear a white tie. This uniform is not for special occasions, it is worn at all times for all classes. If you visit Eton during term time, you will see students walking along the streets with books under their arms dressed in their uniforms.
At Eton, there are dozens of organisations known as ‘societies’, in many of which students come together to discuss a particular topic. The societies are traditionally governed by the boys themselves. Societies range from astronomy to Scottish dancing and stamp-collecting. Some of them are dedicated to music, some to arts, some to languages, and so on. Meetings are usually held after supper and often include a guest speaker. Among past guest speakers were composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, designer Vivienne Westwood, and actor Ralph Fiennes.
One of the oldest and most influential Eton societies is called the Pop. Its members are like school head-boys or prefects who are given limited authority over other students. They are called Poppers and take an active part in many official events of the school year, including parents’ evenings. While all students wear black waistcoats, members of the Pop are allowed to wear any waistcoat they please. Prince William, when he was a Popper, wore a waistcoat designed like the British national flag. The style immediately became popular.
Irrespective of this, the official colour of the college is the so-called ‘Eton blue’. It’s a light blue-green colour which has been used since the early 19th century. The main purpose was to identify Eton sportsmen in rowing races and on the cricket field.

They are called Poppers and take an active part in many official events of the school year, including parents’ evenings. While all students wear black waistcoats, members of the Pop are allowed to wear any waistcoat they please. Prince William, when he was a Popper, wore a waistcoat designed like the British national flag. The style immediately became popular.
Irrespective of this, the official colour of the college is the so-called ‘Eton blue’. It’s a light blue-green colour which has been used since the early 19th century. The main purpose was to identify Eton sportsmen in rowing races and on the cricket field.

Hi Ann,
Thanks a lot for your email! It's wonderful that you already know you want to become a dance teacher, you must really love the Ballet Dance Academy classes.
I'm good at biology and art, since I've always enjoyed drawing pictures and learning about nature and animals. I began making plans for the future last year, after talking to a school career adviser about different jobs. In the future I would like to become a vet, because I really love animals and want to help them stay healthy.

Venus is one of the hottest planets in the Solar system. The temperature on its surface is 482 degrees. This unfriendly place looks much the same as the Earth
4 billion years ago. Both planets were formed from the same gas cloud, but Venus lost most of its water and atmosphere. This happened because the planet turns very slowly. As a result, now it has no magnetic field to protect it from the Sun’s winds. The planet has turned into a lifeless desert. Most space modules that were sent to Venus could not work on the planet more than two hours. The acidic clouds and high pressure quickly made them absolutely useless.

Решение
Разбор. Текст карточки: "Venus is one of the hottest planets in the Solar system. The temperature on its surface is 482 degrees. This unfriendly place looks much the same as the Earth 4 billion years ago. Both planets were formed from the same gas cloud, but Venus lost most of its water and atmosphere. This happened because the planet turns very slowly. As a result, now it has no magnetic field to protect it from the Sun's winds. The planet has turned into a lifeless desert. Most space modules that were sent to Venus could not work on the planet more than two hours. The acidic clouds and high pressure quickly made them absolutely useless." Единственный критерий «Фонетическая сторона речи» оценивает произношение, фразовое ударение, интонацию в утверждениях, смысловые паузы и беглость. В этом тексте частые ловушки: atmosphere — школьники переносят ударение на второй слог вместо верного /ˈætməsfɪər/; magnetic — ударение падает на второй слог /mæɡˈnetɪk/, а не на первый; acidic — та же модель, ударение на втором слоге /əˈsɪdɪk/; pressure — сочетание «ss» читается как «ш», а не как «с»; число 482 degrees нужно прочитать как "four hundred and eighty-two degrees", а 4 billion — как "four billion" одним смысловым блоком. Уточнение "but Venus lost most of its water and atmosphere" требует паузы перед but и понижения тона на завершающем слове.
Ответ: Верное произношение atmosphere, magnetic, acidic, pressure, чтение чисел 482 degrees, 4 billion словами; падающая интонация в утверждениях, пауза перед противопоставлением с but.

You have to talk continuously.
Устное задание
Ответ на это задание записывается голосом. Запись и проверка доступны в режиме пробного экзамена.
Решение
Разбор. Монолог должен раскрыть по порядку все четыре пункта плана карточки, начинаясь со вступления и заканчиваясь заключением. Полный текст: I would like to talk about learning foreign languages, which has become very important nowadays. Nowadays lots of people learn foreign languages, because knowledge of another language opens up more opportunities for study, travel and future careers. English in particular has become an international language, so many people learn it to communicate with people from different countries. I have chosen to do the English exam this year, because I want to continue studying English at a specialised school and I enjoy this subject more than others. English also seems useful for my future profession, so I decided it was worth the effort of preparing for the exam. To prepare for my English exam, I did a lot of practice tests and paid special attention to grammar and listening tasks. I also read English books and watched films with subtitles to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation. Besides that, I practised speaking with my classmates so that I would not feel nervous during the exam. My attitude to learning foreign languages is very positive, because it broadens my mind and helps me understand other cultures better. I believe that everyone should try to learn at least one foreign language well. To sum up, learning foreign languages, especially English, gives young people many new opportunities in life.
Эксперт проверяет, раскрыты ли все четыре пункта плана в заданном порядке, есть ли чёткое вступление и заключение, связность и логичность речи, а также достаточный объём высказывания без грубых лексико-грамматических ошибок.
Ответ: Вступление; иностранные языки учат ради учёбы, путешествий и карьеры; экзамен по английскому выбран из интереса к предмету и планов на профильную школу; для подготовки — тесты, чтение, фильмы, разговорная практика; отношение к изучению языков — очень положительное; заключение.
