Рекомендации по выполнению заданий раздела 5 ЕГЭ «Говорение»
Каждый учащийся получает карточку с заданием по говорению в комнате для подготовки, где у него есть возможность познакомиться с поставленной задачей. Выстраивая ответ, используйте пункты задания как план, постарайтесь не упустить ни одной опции. Выполняя задания, старайтесь обосновывать свою точку зрения, т.е. высказывайте причины, которые лежат в основе ваших утверждений – обоснованные высказывания высоко оцениваются при проверке. При оценивании задания С3 (монолог) оценка выставляется как за содержание высказывания, так и за его оформление, т. е. композиционную стройность, логичность, наличие слов-связок, выражений, организующих текст. Каждый критерий оценивается максимально в 3 балла, т. е. за монолог можно получить максимально 6 баллов.
При оценивании задания С4 (диалог), во-первых, оценивается содержание речи, ее обоснованность, смысловая полнота, а также тот факт, насколько полно отражен план (опции) в ответе ученика. Высокие оценки также выставляются за взаимодействие с преподавателем-собеседником, поэтому старайтесь вести диалог как реальный разговор, задавайте вопросы, используйте обращения, не стесняйтесь переспрашивать и уточнять информацию. Кроме того, задание С4 также оценивается по трем дополнительным критериям: грамматическая правильность речи, ее лексическая составляющая (знание слов и выражений по теме диалога, умение адекватно их использовать, разнообразие лексических средств, знание правил лексической сочетаемости), а также произношение. Таким образом, за содержание диалога, за взаимодействие с собеседником, за лексику и за грамматику ученик может получить максимально по 3 балла, за произношение – максимально 2 балла, т. е. общий максимальный балл за диалог составляет 14 баллов.
Обратите внимание на то, что в каждом задании указано время его выполнения. Нарушение временных рамок также может привести к снижению оценки, поэтому, тренируясь в выполнении заданий на говорение, обязательно учитывайте этот аспект.

Speaker 1. When guests arrive, they find a table beautifully decorated with candles and fine china, because a meal is more appetizing when it is served in pleasant surroundings. When guests sit down to eat, they eat heartily, and when it is time to clear the table, they feel good. For many Americans food that is cooked at home is most scrumptious at all.
Speaker 2. It was a long, narrow and low-ceiling room of adobe, with white-washed walls, and it had the only plank floor among the town’s three eating houses. The tables were neat, the dishes clean, and the food looked good.
Speaker 3. I enjoy reading, visiting my friends around the village and writing to my relatives. I also enjoy playing cricket and football. I enjoy listening to reggae music. The night life is not expensive for a visitor, but not many Dominicans can afford it.
Speaker 4. Everyone knows each other and helps out when needed. Everyone is really friendly, and extremely hard-working. The whole village, from young children to adults, take pride in their surroundings, looking after their own gardens and animals.
Speaker 5. For years now, this city has been my favourite good-time town. I even like to regard myself as something of a city veteran, having visited there regularly over the past decade. It is the city that never sleeps and I am a woman who doesn’t seem to sleep much.
Mat: What are the styles in hair and clothing in Dublin?
Ron: There are a lot of different styles. The hippy-psychedelic movement has returned, and there are still punks. But one aspect of life in Dublin that I don’t like is the fact that some people put you into categories according to the way you dress. There is quite a bit of hostility between the hippies and the punks.
Mat: How about your recreation time? What do you do for fun?
Ron: In my free time I play a lot of soccer. On Saturday nights, I go out with my friends to discos or concerts. The biggest disco in my area is called the “Glove”. It has been in existence for about twenty years and is still as popular as ever.
Mat: What are the good things about living in Ireland, for a teenager?
Ron: Ireland is a good country to grow up in. It seems to have kept more healthy and positive values than most other countries. Families are close, as are communities.
Задания А8 – А14. Вы услышите рассказ о Гайд Парке в Лондоне. В заданиях А8 – А14 обведите цифру 1, 2 или 3, соответственно номеру выбранного вами варианта ответа. Вы услышите запись дважды. У вас есть 50 секунд, чтобы ознакомиться с заданием.
I once took a foreign friend of mine who thought the English a restrained and silent race to Hyde Park Corner on a Sunday morning. With its old, spreading trees, its wide stretches of carefully mown grass and asphalted paths, Hyde Park is like many other London parks, but there is a corner of it, near Marble Arch, the like of which is not to be found anywhere else in England, or anywhere else in the world for that matter.
Here, on wooden stands and soap-boxes and even on ordinary park chairs (if the park-keeper doesn’t spot them) all kinds of men and women stand up and give their views on subjects that range from politics and religion to cures for rheumatism and the best way of getting on with your mother-in-law. When we arrived, a lady of about forty, quite well dressed, was explaining to a knot of onlookers why she had never been understood by her parents, a story that began when she was about five years old. Not far away a dark gentleman with flashing eyes was expounding the principles of some obscure eastern religion.
A century ago this little corner of London’s largest park used to be a favourite place for dueling. When it was that Englishmen gave up settling their differences with sword and pistol and decided to use their tongues instead, the historians do not tell us. Probably, the tradition became established at the end of the last century, when the great political movement of the time had spread the desire for debate to all classes of the population. Writers differ about the usefulness of Speakers’ Corner to democracy. Some regard it as a “safety valve” for releasing discontent, others say the “safety valve” should become a more effective instrument for political action. Certain it is, that Hyde Park Corner shares with Trafalgar Square the honour of being the gathering place for many great meetings of protest against injustice and war.

I: What's the city centre like?
P: Some people say it's too noisy and crowded, but I love that. There's always something to see and do. We also have the most famous beach in the world - Copacabana Beach.

If you look down at the city from there, the view is spectacular.
I: What's the weather like?
P: It's great most of the time. The only lime I don't like Rio much is in the summer: it's too hot and humid.

Interviewer: Today in the studio, as part of our series of interviews with famous duos we have two people who've worked together for more than fifteen years. Tony Morland is the boss and Anita Meadows is his personal assistant. Nothing unusual in that you might think, but what makes this duo a little different is the fact that the business which they both help run is in fact a travelling circus Welcome to you both.
Anita: Hello.
Tony: Hi.
Interviewer: Now, Tony first, you own the circus. So do you come from one of those traditional circus families, was it in the blood?
Tony: Hardly. I had an unremarkable childhood up to the age of fifteen. But I'd seen my first circus at the age of about eight, and from that moment on. I'd set my heart on being part of that world one day. I didn't exactly run away to join the circus, but it was very much against my parents' wishes when I went. They really thought I should be getting some qualifications, I don't think they saw much of a future in it.
Interviewer: But what qualified you then for the circus ring? Did you have an act?
Tony: No, it wasn't like that really. The curious thing is that I never longed to be a performer I didn't fancy leaping about on the back of a horse or juggling. No, right from the start, the thing that was uppermost in my mind was the idea of stepping out into that ring, wearing the bio, hat, and welcoming people to my circus. So at first, as far as I was concerned, it was just a matter of getting practical experience of how the circus worked. I was happy doing any job that was going actually.
Interviewer: And before long you did set up on your own, didn't you? How did you manage that?
Tony: I suppose I was about twenty-two and my Dad, who'd come round to the idea in the meantime, helped me by lending me some capital, which I added to my own savings to invest in my first tent. From then on, I was the boss. I only had a few acts, but later I teamed up with a friend and the circus has been a partnership ever since. I'd been in business for about five years, when I realized I really needed more administrative support, and that's where Anita came in.
