7. Comment on the following statement:

Television рlays an important role in everyday life. However some teachers think its influence upon children is negative, others don't agree.

What can you say for and against the role of TV in children's life? Choose the best introduction

Text 1 I think that children watch TV too much. They watch films for grown-ups and see a lot of violence and cruelty. They see guns and knives and learn how to use them. I think that such films as thrillers and horror films are not good for them.

Text 2 TV plays a big role in the life of some people. Its one of the most important inventions of the 20^th century. We can't overestimate its role of modern society because it has greatly changed our life.

Text 3 Nowadays television has become an important part of our life. We turn it on as soon as come home and never switch it off. So children watch everything that is on. Is it good or bad for them?

18 . Match the introductions with proper conclusions

Introduction…

1 Did you ever dream of becoming a doctor when you were young? Although it can be a very rewarding career, being a doctor also has its drawbacks.

2 Imagine going to school all day long and then having to work as well. Many young people decide to attend school and have a part-time job at the same time. This can have both advantages and disadvantages.

3 Cooking is something that few of us have time to do in today's fast-moving world. But does eating out really have as many advantages as people think it does?...

Conclusion

A It is up to each individual to decide whether he or she would Benefit from working and studying at the same time. However, isn't it a pity that many simply have no choice due to poor financial situations?

В On balance, the life of a doctor can be both exciting and very demanding. No t everyone is suited for it, especially as it is not a profession with room for mistakes.

С All in all, while eating out does have its advantages, it is not something we should make a habit of. Perhaps we should all try to make time in our lives to eat properly.

16. Match the introductions with proper conclusions

Introduction

1 Spending one's summer holiday climbing in the mountains of Tibet or white-water rafting may not be everyone's idea of fun, but adventure holidays are becoming extremely popular. They have both their good and bad points.

2 Becoming a vegetarian is a choice that many people are making after recent health scares. The question is, does being a vegetarian have a positive or negative effect on one's health? I believe that it can do more harm than good.

3 A scene unfolds before one's eyes of yet another miracle of nature: a baby elephant being born. If it were not for television, this is something we might never see and for this reason I feel that TV plays an important role in education....

Conclusion

A To sum up, I believe that television should continue to play a role in education. Well- made programmes can give us a broader view of the world and can teach us about things which are outside our everyday experience.

B All in all, whether you will enjoy an adventure holiday or not depends on the type of person you are. Taking holidays of this kind should be carefully considered, because they are not for the faint-hearted!

C In conclusion, I feel that vegetarians could suffer from health problems if they do not have a healthy, nutritious diet. However, everyone must decide for themselves which lifestyle choice suits them best.

In many schools nowadays pupils study many foreign languages. Learning foreign languages has become more popular now than it used to be. However some people think learning foreign languages is a waste of time. Are they right?

I have a different point of view. 1 … it is very good to know a foreign language. There are several reasons why think so. 2 …, if you know a foreign language, you may have a better chance to make a good career finding a well paid work in a good company. 3 …, you can read books in original. Is not it pleasant to read a new book by a popular modern writer which has just been published? You can also read a scientific article for your work.

4 …, when travelling to other countries you are always able to solve all problems you may have. 5… , some people think that learning a foreign language is just a waste of time. They say that tourists are usually accompanied by guides who speak Russian 6 …, most important articles and books are translated into Russian and it is easier to read in your mother tongue. I don't agree with this point of view. I prefer to be independent when I travel and too choose the books I want to read myself instead of waiting for them to be translated.

Moreover, women who smoke have certain pregnancy problems or having an ill baby. Secondly, scientists claim that passive smoking is even more dangerous than real one because non-smokers breath deeper and suffer more. Finally, smoking workers spend a lot of time unproductive , often making «a smoking break».

B To sum up, I'd like to say that , in my opinion, our health is the most important thing not only for a personal life but for the state itself. Even though many people feel good about smoking and never admit that smoking is bad for health, it is necessary to point out that people do waste a lot of money on smoking which could be used for a good purpose.

C Nowadays the problem of smoking is very important. Almost everyone understands it.

Do dogs make good pets?

A On the other hand, dogs need a lot of attention. They need to be fed and brushed, and taken for their daily walk or regular visit to the vet. However, this is a small price to pay in exchange for their friendship and loyalty.

B All in all, although having a dog can be tiring, I believe that they are the best pets. Spending a little time with your dog every day will certainly win you a "best friend" for life.

C First of all, dogs make wonderful companions. They always show their happiness as soon as their owner walks through the door, by wagging their tail and jumping up and down excitedly. They are playful and extremely loyal to their owners, so they are good company for the elderly and for children.

D You've decided to add a pet to your family but what pet is right? I think that the person who said that a dog is "man's best friend" is absolutely right. In my opinion, dogs make perfect house pets.

E Furthermore, trained dogs are useful to their owners. They are easy to train as watchdogs to guard your house and family, making you feel safe and secure. They can also be trained as guide dogs for the blind. They can be taught all sorts of tricks even to collect the morning newspaper!

A In addition to this, teenagers who have a job earn their own money and this has several advantages. Parents who are perhaps struggling financially, for example, will no longer need to find pocket money for their son or daughter. Furthermore, when teenagers earn their own money, they are usually more careful when deciding how to spend it. In this way, they learn how to handle money responsibly.

B Is it a good idea for teenagers to have part-time jobs while they are still at school? In my view, teenagers who have part-time jobs than just money from their experience. I believe, therefore, that both parents and teachers should encourage teenagers to work part-time.

C To conclude, the way I see it, teenagers learn both responsibility and independence through a part-time job. Why not learn some important life lessons at an early age? After all, as they say, "Today's teenagers are tomorrow's adults."

D To start with, getting a job teaches young adults early in life how to become reliable individuals and citizens. An employer expects you to do your job well, and when someone depends on you, you feel a sense of responsibility. Moreover, a part- time job can teach valuable skills essential for your future career, such as learning to be on time, handling money and dealing with customers.

E On the other hand, some people argue that it's unwise for teenagers to work while still studying. In particular, they fear that having a job can take up too much time and cause a student's school work to suffer seriously.

The future of education - books or computers?

Essay

The latest advances in information technology make people think that schools of the future will use computers instead of printed books. Although electronic books have not been widely accepted yet, I believe they will be able to take the place of printed books.

In my opinion, students will widely use computers for studying in the future. To begin with, computers can store lots of books in their memory and modern software allows us to find quickly the necessary information. Besides, with the interactive programmes on computers studying will be much more exciting. What is more, electronic books will not degrade overtime like their printed counterparts.

Nevertheless, lots of disbelievers argue that computers will not replace printed books because a printed book is better for human eyes than a computer screen. In addition, books are cheaper and easier to use since they do not need electricity or the internet connection.

However, I disagree with this opinion because modern computer screens emit no radiation and allow us to read even in low light conditions, so they are even less harmful than books. Of course we will have to pay for electricity but I think it will be cheaper than to pay for printed books, which are very expensive nowadays.

To sum up, I think computers and printed books will peacefully coexist for years to come, but in the future technological progress will make it possible for pupils to carry laptops or even palmtops instead of traditional bags with lots of heavy books.

C2: You have 40 minutes to do this task. Comment on the following statement.

Many cities in Europe do everything to promote bicycles as an ecologically clean type of transportation; however the governor of St. Petersburg signed a decree according to which bicycles will not be allowed in the city centre.

Do you agree that bicycles should be banned in the centre of St. Petersburg?

Write 200-250 words

Use the following plan:

1. Introduction. (State the problem)

2. Express your opinion and give reasons for it.

3. Give other people's arguments and explain why they are wrong.

4. Make a conclusion

In European cities people ride bicycles a lot because they are aware that bikes help to save fuel and reduce pollution in cities. However, the governor of Saint-Petersburg decided to ban bicycles in the city centre and I fully agree with it. I would like to explain my point of view on it.

In my opinion, the governor is absolutely right. In the first place, our roads are not adapted for biking as in Europe; they are too narrow and there are no separate lanes for bicycles. Moreover, bikes do not help the traffic situation but even sometimes make it worse as bicyclists often break traffic rules and cause accidents. In addition, the weather in St. Petersburg is not good for bicycle commuting. In winter roads are covered with ice, in autumn and in spring rains are frequent and roads are wet, so it is very difficult for cyclists to move.

On the other hand, some say that bikes are undoubtedly useful for our health, I can not agree with it completely as there are a lot of road accidents where cyclists are injured. Some people may argue that bikes are ecologically clean, but you can also put special purifying facilities on cars which are faster and more comfortable as transport.

To sum up, there are different points of view on this problem. I believe that bicycles should be banned in the city centre where streets are not specially created for them. As I see it, a bike is a kind of transport for short trips in the countryside.
