LISTENING.

Task 1.

For items 1-5 listen to a conversation between a boy, Leon, and his sister, Zara, about his room. Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it’s correct, write T(True). If it’s not correct, write F (False). You will hear the text twice.

Now you have 30 seconds to look through the items.

Now we begin.

Leon:

What do you think of my room, Zara? Don’t you think it looks small? I haven’t got much furniture, but it feels like there’s very little space here.

Zara:

Well, it’s exactly the size as my room and I’m quite happy there, but I see what you mean, Leon: Your room just seems smaller than it really is, I think.

Leon:

Why do you think that is?

Zara:

The first thing, I think, is that it’s too dark. The wall and the ceiling, I mean.

Leon:

So would it be a good idea to paint everything white?

Zara:

Well, that might make it look a bit nice at office, or in a hospital. Yellow or light green would be better, I think. Then you could get things like cushions in the same colour, and perhaps do something about the colour of the furniture. Some of that’s very dark, too.

Leon:

Yes, and I could paint things like the cupboards myself. I noticed the other day that the supermarket is selling big tints of paint really cheaply, so I could start straightway.

Zara:

Hmm. I’m not sure about that. It’s probably best to ask Mum and Dad what they thing first.

Leon:

Oh, I don’t think they’ll mind.

Zara:

Or perhaps you could get some new furniture. If you do, I’d suggest looking for things that don’t need so much space. Some of those you have now, like that desk, are too big for the room, really.

Leon:

No, I don’t agree with you about that. I need quite a big desk top for my computer and all the things that go with it, as well as something to write on. There’s all that homework I have to do.

Zara:

Yes, I suppose so. But there are other things you could do.

Leon:

Such as?

Zara:

Well, you get a lot of sunshine coming in through the window, so how about putting a big mirror on the wall opposite?

Leon:

Hmm, you may be right. It would make the place a lot brighter, particularly in winter (5) Yes, I think I’ll do that. Let’s go shopping on Saturday morning!

Task 2.

You will hear a tour guide giving some information to a group of students. For each question (6-10) choose the correct answer A, B or C. You will hear the text twice.

OK, so tomorrow we`ll be doing a tour of the city to see some of the most important sights in San Francisco. Now, we need to be at the Ferry Building in time to catch the ferry at 10 a.m. But I think we should aim to be there by 9.45. It`s a fifteen-minute walk from the hotel, so we should set off from here at 9.30. You won`t need to bring any money for food because a packed lunch is provided. It should be sunny tomorrow but it can get windy on the ferry, so I`d advise you to take a jacket.

The ferry crosses the bay to Sausalito, which takes about 25 minutes. We`ll spend about an hour in Sausalito where we`ll do some shopping. That`s one of Saulisito`s main attractions.

From Saulisito we`ll get a bus across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Golden Gate Park. Here you`ll have a choice of activities. Firstly, the de Young Museum. The best thing here is the painting collection. This has some of the greatest works from every period in American history. The de Yong`s also famous for its collections of modern sculpture and African art.

Or you can go to the Japanese Tea Garden. This is the oldest Japanese garden in the United States. It first opened in 1894 as part of an international exhibition. Anyway, you`ll have about an hour to explore either of these two places before we break for lunch.

Our first stop after lunch will be t Alamo Square. I`m sure this will seem familiar to many of you as the houses have appeared in so many films and TV shows. We`ll stop and take some photos here before moving on to Chinatown where we`ll have a guided walking tour.

Критерии оценивания и подсчет баллов

WRITING - КРИТЕРИИ ОЦЕНИВАНИЯ

Максимальное количество баллов: 10

Внимание! При оценке 0 по критерию "Содержание" выставляется общая оценка 0.

Процедура проверки работ в конкурсе письменной речи

Каждая работа проверяется в обязательном порядке двумя членами жюри независимо друг от друга (каждый член жюри получает чистую копию работы без каких-либо пометок). Члены жюри записывают замечания и выставляют баллы не в работе, а в своем бланке протокола. Итоговым баллом является средний балл между баллами, выставленными двумя членами жюри, проверяющими работу. В случае значительного расхождения выставленных оценок (расхождение оценок более 3-х баллов), назначается еще одна проверка, затем выставляется средняя оценка между двумя ближайшими баллами (третья оценка при этом не учитывается). Если после третьей проверки все три оценки значительно расходятся (расхождение оценок более 3-х баллов), работа считается «спорной». «Спорные» работы проверяются и обсуждаются коллективно.

ПРОТОКОЛ ОЦЕНКИ КОНКУРСА «ПИСЬМО»

При подсчете баллов за конкурс применяется коэффициент 2: полученные за конкурс баллы умножаются на 2.

Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно получить за конкурс Writing - 10 (двадцать).
