You can play tennis your entire life. 2. Tennis is a pleasure to watch. 3. Tennis is all about competition. 4. Tennis isn’t a violent sport. 5. Tennis is an inexpensive kind of sport. 6. Tennis is an aggressive male sport. 7. Many nations have good tennis players.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker A: I don't play tennis, but I love watching it. As a fan and spectator, I see lots of pros of tennis compared to other sports. First of all, top level tennis players are amazing to watch, and most tennis players are pretty easy on the eyes. When they show tennis on TV, the broadcast is always very good quality. Tennis tournaments take less time to watch than football championships, and the tennis rules are easy to understand. → Ключевая идея: теннис приятно смотреть как зрелище. Соответствует утверждению 2. Tennis is a pleasure to watch. Speaker B: I've been playing tennis for some years, and when I have a chance to go and see a tennis match live, I certainly don't miss it. That's different with other sports. I mean, I never feel comfortable at a football stadium full of screaming fans. Football fans in particular are notorious for their aggressive behavior and fights. Tennis is a polite sport. It's generally a very peaceful game and isn't violent as some of the other well-known sports are. → Ключевая идея: теннис не является жестоким или агрессивным видом спорта, в отличие от футбола. Соответствует утверждению 4. Tennis isn’t a violent sport. Speaker C: I love both playing and watching tennis. It's a nice game, and no country in the world dominates in tennis. I mean, there are figure skaters, and there are Russians. No one is able to compete with Russian figure skaters. But with tennis, successful players are not concentrated in any one part of the world map. People from all continents and most major nations are successful in tennis, which makes this sport truly international. → Ключевая идея: теннисисты высокого уровня есть во многих странах, а не в одной. Соответствует утверждению 7. Many nations have good tennis players. Speaker D: I've been playing tennis since I was about seven, and I'd like to be like my parents, who are in their late forties and still play tennis very well. My mom says it's a sport for a lifetime, and you can play at almost any age, from four to ninety-four, as long as you're mobile. I play doubles because I like having a partner. It's fun to strategize, and I feel I can't let my partner down, so that keeps me focused. Let's see if we'll still be able to play doubles together in thirty years from now. → Ключевая идея: в теннис можно играть в любом возрасте, практически всю жизнь. Соответствует утверждению 1. You can play tennis your entire life. Speaker E: I don't look at tennis as an easygoing sport, because frankly, it's not. If it was, then not many people would be into it so much. To me, it's probably one of the most competitive sports, because there's the added psychological game that you play against your opponent, and that your opponent plays against you. Tennis is a battle of willpower and minds, which demands a high level of concentration. It's either you win or you lose, so it's very intense and certainly not peaceful. → Ключевая идея: теннис — это предельно соревновательный вид спорта, борьба умов и воли. Соответствует утверждению 3. Tennis is all about competition. Speaker F: I haven't played tennis, but I'm thinking of taking it up mainly because of its relatively low costs. I mean, you only need to buy a pair of shoes, a racket and some balls, and then pay to use a court if you don't have a private one around. Of course, joining a tennis club or touring adds a lot of expense, but for most of us regular folks, the costs of tennis are rather low. That's why I guess tennis is worth a try, and it's not as dangerous as, say, football. → Ключевая идея: теннис стоит недорого для обычных людей, нужен лишь минимальный инвентарь. Соответствует утверждению 5. Tennis is an inexpensive kind of sport.

Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A—F и утверждениями, данными в списке 1—7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Прослушайте запись дважды. Пример ответа: 123456 1. Good books can transport you to other worlds. 2. It's nice practice to give away books that you have already read. 3. In some cases it is not bad to watch a screen version of the book. 4. The difficult language of some writers can hide a good story. 5. A good mixture of mental stimulation is good. 6. Old novels are not worth reading. 7. Traditional reading will never stop.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker One: I am trying to read at least one novel a month. It's part of my intellectual diet. The diet includes music, TV and even PlayStation, but I try to keep a balance overall. There are times when I get seriously into a new writer and am distracted until I've read everything. On the other hand, I can spend untold hours on Final Fantasy or some other game if it engages me. But as with a food diet, the odd chocolate binge won't hurt you as long as in the long run you get a good balance. → Ключевая идея: важно сочетать разные виды умственной деятельности (книги, музыку, телевидение, игры) и соблюдать баланс. Это прямо соответствует утверждению 5. A good mixture of mental stimulation is good. (Speaker One – 5) Speaker Two: I would like to say I love reading Dickens, if it were true, but I just can't get down to it. I saw a TV version of David Copperfield and enjoyed it, but it is the language in the books I find really difficult to cope with. All the sentences seem so long and complex. I suppose it's just that Dickens belongs to a different age when people spoke and maybe even thought differently. On the other hand Shakespeare's language is difficult for me, but it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of that amazing dramatist. → Ключевая идея: сложный язык некоторых писателей (Диккенс) мешает восприятию, но при этом за этим языком скрывается интересное содержание (как у Шекспира). Это соответствует утверждению 4. The difficult language of some writers can hide a good story. (Speaker Two – 4) Speaker Three: I was sat in that armchair that Granddad made. Somehow I felt myself slip back in time as I turned each page. I became conscious of my heart beating. Probably it was the room, the furniture, the decoration, but that book took me somewhere else. I even felt the temperature in the room drop and expected to see Pyotr Quint staring sightlessly from the garden window. → Ключевая идея: книга переносит читателя в другое время и пространство, создаёт эффект присутствия в ином мире. Это полностью совпадает с утверждением 1. Good books can transport you to other worlds. (Speaker Three – 1) Speaker Four: I never watch a film based on any book I have already read. Suzy always does, and yet she always seems to end up saying “Not as good as the book”. On the other hand, it is quite useful to see films based on books that you ought to read but don't want to. Shakespeare or Dickens on film is a great help. You get a red hot story without having to get lost for days in archaic language. On this Suzy and I are in complete agreement. → Ключевая идея: в некоторых случаях (например, когда книга написана сложным языком) вполне полезно посмотреть экранизацию вместо чтения. Это соответствует утверждению 3. In some cases it is not bad to watch a screen version of the book. (Speaker Four – 3) Speaker Five: Some people say that conventional books have had their day. The technology has been surpassed. Like vinyl records and tape cassettes were to music, the traditional book will be replaced by iPhones, online delivery or through some other multimedia platform. They say that one day we'll no longer read words on paper stuffed between cardboard covers. But I'm not so sure. On the beach or in bed, on the train or at home, I like to curl up with a good old fashioned comfortable paper filled book. → Ключевая идея: говорящий не согласен с тем, что бумажные книги исчезнут; он убеждён, что традиционное чтение сохранится. Это соответствует утверждению 7. Traditional reading will never stop. (Speaker Five – 7) Speaker Six: Beck recycles all her books. It's a nice habit. Wherever she is, when she reads the last page, there she sets the book free. This means that she writes on the inside cover a message of invitation to whoever happens to pick the book up next. I happened to get one of hers last week. She wrote: “This book is a love story. You'll not be able to put it down until the very last word.” And as usual she was spot on. I hardly got any work done last week finishing that damn story. → Ключевая идея: Бек отдаёт уже прочитанные книги другим людям, оставляя в них послания, и это похвальная привычка. Это соответствует утверждению 2. It's nice practice to give away books that you have already read. (Speaker Six – 2)

Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A—F и утверждениями, данными в списке 1—7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Прослушайте запись дважды. Пример ответа: 123456 1. I really wanted to work but my parents talked me out of it. 2. Having a weekend job is useful in several ways. 3. Combining work and studies is too much for teenagers. 4. Working hours influence your attitude to a job. 5. It's parents' duty to provide for their children's needs. 6. Teenagers should discuss with parents if they need a job. 7. You can get ready for adult life even without work.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker A: I think that the situation when parents are forcing teenagers to get a job is just terrible. High school hours are mostly from six to three or from seven to four or somewhere in that range. It varies throughout the world. And you're trying to tell your child to go to work for five to ten hours right after school. That is poor parenting. The struggles of school and the weight of what comes with it whether it is the workload, the tests or depression from it all are already enough. → Ключевая идея: совмещать учёбу в школе и работу после неё слишком тяжело для подростков, потому что школьных нагрузок и без того достаточно. Это прямо соответствует утверждению 3. Combining work and studies is too much for teenagers. (Speaker A – 3) Speaker B: My parents had a rule that school always came first. No job because school was my job. In the summers I had to do something though. It was either more school or some type of volunteer activities. I didn't have a job until my third year university summer and felt prepared for adulthood just fine. I know parents do it to prepare for adulthood but let your children enjoy their final years of childhood while they get ready for college if they're going. It's no good to apply extra stress onto them. → Ключевая идея: говорящий не работал в школьные годы, но при этом чувствовал себя вполне готовым к взрослой жизни. Это соответствует утверждению 7. You can get ready for adult life even without work. (Speaker B – 7) Speaker C: When I was in high school I needed money for college and we didn't have a lot of money to go around. I was super eager to get a job but my dad actually said to me wait as long as you can before getting a job. Once you start working you don't stop until you retire. All my friends started getting jobs at fourteen or sixteen. I was eighteen when I got my first real job. Granted I also worked for my mom's store and my dad's business and had summer jobs. I can't thank him enough for telling me it was okay. → Ключевая идея: говорящий очень хотел работать, но отец отговорил его, и в итоге он благодарен за это. Это полностью совпадает с утверждением 1. I really wanted to work but my parents talked me out of it. (Speaker C – 1) Speaker D: I agree that making your children work from the time they get out of class until the end of the day is a little too much. I see no problem with a weekend job though. It does give some good experience in the work world as well as giving kids some financial freedom. I had a weekend job in high school so it felt amazing not to have to ask my mom to use her card whenever my friends wanted to get something to eat or whenever I needed a new oil change for my car. I could just do it. → Ключевая идея: работа по выходным даёт полезный опыт и финансовую независимость, то есть полезна в нескольких отношениях. Это соответствует утверждению 2. Having a weekend job is useful in several ways. (Speaker D – 2) Speaker E: I worked at a hairdressers and in a burger van in high school. The first experience at the hairdressers in the mornings and in the summer was useful I would say to get experience and get me up in the mornings. I still had my summer afternoons and evenings to hang out with my friends and enjoy life. So during that time I didn't miss out on much because my friends would be sleeping in while I was at work. But the night job at the burger van was quite hard. → Ключевая идея: утренняя работа воспринималась нормально, а ночная — как тяжёлая, то есть впечатление от работы зависит от того, в какое время она происходит. Это соответствует утверждению 4. Working hours influence your attitude to a job. (Speaker E – 4) Speaker F: I worked in high school and was used to having my own money while all my friends got pocket money. So without a job I'd miss out on the cinema, ice skating, fast food, bowling and so on. But because I had to go to work I missed out on loads anyway. Looking back all the jobs I did in school paid very little. So in an ideal world teens should only do some jobs for experience and their parents should give them pocket money. Financial support is part of their responsibility as parents. → Ключевая идея: в идеале родители должны давать детям карманные деньги на развлечения, потому что это часть их родительской обязанности. Это соответствует утверждению 5. It's parents' duty to provide for their children's needs. (Speaker F – 5)

This ingredient of a sweet treat has a long history. 2. Candy from our childhood has a very special taste. 3. This shop has an unusual mix of goods. 4. Every candy cane has its own sweet secret. 5. Special sweets can be decorations for special occasions. 6. It was impossible to eat alone all the sweets needed. 7. I didn't regret spending money for those sweets.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker A: They say I looked as sweet as a piece of candy on my prom night. And why shouldn't I? My dress was actually made from thousands of bright multicolored Starburst candy wrappers. 18,000 to be exact. In case you're wondering how I got all those wrappers to make the dress, I didn't eat all those Starburst candies myself of course. My friends and family were very kind and considerate and they helped me to collect the wrappers over the past year. → Ключевая идея: для создания платья потребовалось 18 000 обёрток, и говорящий не смог бы съесть столько конфет в одиночку, поэтому помогали друзья и семья. Это соответствует утверждению 6. It was impossible to eat alone all the sweets needed. (Speaker A – 6) Speaker B: Oh my God, the memories of raspberry hard candy. That's something, believe me. My grandmother always just always had them around at home. I loved them more than anything. I would sell my soul for one. You savour it slowly until you get close to the soft centre then crush it to the roof of your mouth. The gooey soft centre then oozes out with the most delightful and delicious burst of raspberry. Whoever invented those candies was a genius. → Ключевая идея: речь идёт о конфетах из детства, которые связаны с тёплыми воспоминаниями о бабушке и имеют особый, ни с чем не сравнимый вкус. Это соответствует утверждению 2. Candy from our childhood has a very special taste. (Speaker B – 2) Speaker C: My favorite cookies to make are cinnamon doddles because I just love the smell of them baking. The sense of smell is powerful and when my kids smell cinnamon they feel warm and fuzzy all over because of the fun we've had in the kitchen. But you might be surprised to know that cinnamon was one of the first trade spices and in fact is even mentioned in the Bible. It was used to make holy anointing oil for the church. → Ключевая идея: корица, как ингредиент сладкого угощения, имеет древнюю историю, упоминается в Библии и использовалась в религиозных целях. Это соответствует утверждению 1. This ingredient of a sweet treat has a long history. (Speaker C – 1) Speaker D: My first love when it comes to chocolate of course was Godiva. When I was a student I had a part-time job in New York and every weekend the minute I got paid I would go to a little boutique and buy a small box of the most delicious Godiva sweets in the shape of a half walnut with a half a walnut on top. The box was $14 dollars then and it was worth every penny. I would eat them all by the end of the afternoon and then dream about the next box. → Ключевая идея: говорящий тратил деньги на дорогие конфеты сразу после получения зарплаты и нисколько не жалел о потраченных средствах, потому что они того стоили. Это соответствует утверждению 7. I didn't regret spending money for those sweets. (Speaker D – 7) Speaker E: Wedding decorations can create that special atmosphere you are looking for at your reception and can include anything you want. The choice is really endless when it comes to various colors and materials. For those young at heart sweets can be used. They can be added to vases or bowls either individually or to one massive bowl in the middle. For romantic souls a bouquet of chocolate lollipops can be made in one large vase or individual glasses. → Ключевая идея: сладости можно использовать как элемент декора на свадьбах и других торжественных мероприятиях. Это соответствует утверждению 5. Special sweets can be decorations for special occasions. (Speaker E – 5) Speaker F: I wouldn't have remembered this except the time I was walking around waiting for a friend and had a hankering for candy. I thought surely there must be a candy store around here somewhere right? And then I saw this place. It was unreal. Awesome retro candy combined with fashion clothes and jewelry. I wouldn't buy any clothing there because of the high price. I was more interested in the candy though and there was lots of it. → Ключевая идея: в магазине продавались не только конфеты, но и одежда с украшениями, что является необычным сочетанием товаров. Это соответствует утверждению 3. This shop has an unusual mix of goods. (Speaker F – 3)

Cooking can become a great career. 2. Cooking can help save some money. 3. Cooking takes too much of your time. 4. Cooking is always very expensive. 5. Cooking can be a way to lose weight. 6. It’s great to cook on special occasions. 7. Cooking brings families together.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker A: As for me, I love cooking. I can't say I cook very well, but my grandmother and mother are very good cooks. I love it when they have some time to teach me. We gather together in the kitchen and start cooking something tasty. It doesn't matter to me what it is. It can be some soup or pastry or meat. It feels like magic stirring and mixing turning some raw products into a tasty meal. My mum and grandma tell me their life stories while cooking and I feel part of my family. → Ключевая идея: приготовление еды становится временем, когда семья собирается вместе, общается и чувствует единство. Это соответствует утверждению 7. Cooking brings families together. (Speaker A – 7) Speaker B: I can't say I love cooking very much. But I'm a student and I'm often short of money. I can't afford eating out regularly. Neither can I buy ready-made meals as they are usually more expensive than homemade ones. So I have to cook. I cook very simple dishes as they need only the basic ingredients and they are normally quite cheap. It's not that expensive to mix a salad or cook some rice at home and it's easy. Thanks to cooking I have enough money to buy new clothes. → Ключевая идея: готовка позволяет экономить деньги, потому что домашняя еда дешевле, чем еда вне дома или готовая еда из магазина. Это соответствует утверждению 2. Cooking can help save some money. (Speaker B – 2) Speaker C: I used to eat out a lot. And then there was a period in my life when I ate a lot of fast food as it was cheap and quick. Consequently, I put on some extra weight. Of course, the obvious solution was to go to the gym. But the coach said no. Having regular training sessions was not enough to get the body of my dreams. I needed to eat the right food. Cooking is a great way to do it as I know exactly how much fat there is in my dish. Now I'm slim again. → Ключевая идея: приготовление правильной пищи помогает контролировать содержание жира и, как следствие, похудеть. Это соответствует утверждению 5. Cooking can be a way to lose weight. (Speaker C – 5) Speaker D: I love cooking. To tell the truth, I do want to become a professional cook one day. I love watching Jamie Oliver's shows and I have his recipe books. Every weekend I try one of his famous recipes. It's sometimes not very cheap but usually he has very simple and affordable ingredients. I hope to be like him one day and work in a posh restaurant. I'll cook the most complicated dishes ever and win numerous awards. That's my dream and I work hard to make it come true. → Ключевая идея: говорящий мечтает стать профессиональным поваром, работать в ресторане и получать награды, то есть сделать кулинарию своей карьерой. Это соответствует утверждению 1. Cooking can become a great career. (Speaker D – 1) Speaker E: I'm very good at cooking. In fact, I think I can cook practically anything from scratch. Still, I don't like to cook on a regular basis. I'd rather get a takeaway on an ordinary day. However, it's different when it's Christmas time. I cook for twenty people every Christmas. Meatloaves and chicken loaves, candied carrots, mashed and creamed potatoes, puddings. I can go on and on. The list is endless. I love it when people admire my extraordinary dishes. → Ключевая идея: говорящий не любит готовить в обычные дни, но с удовольствием готовит на Рождество для большого количества людей, то есть по особым поводам. Это соответствует утверждению 6. It's great to cook on special occasions. (Speaker E – 6) Speaker F: To my mind, cooking is a very boring and time-consuming chore. You have to plan what is to be cooked. Then you need to buy all the ingredients and spend about two hours in the kitchen to get a decent meal. Mind you, you'll be complimented only if it tastes good. I spend most of my day outside and I literally don't have enough time to come home for dinner. I'd rather grab a sandwich at a local delicatessen. My friends say it's unhealthy, but right now I'm okay. → Ключевая идея: приготовление еды отнимает слишком много времени (планирование, покупка продуктов, два часа на кухне), которого у говорящего нет. Это соответствует утверждению 3. Cooking takes too much of your time. (Speaker F – 3)
