Remember to say:
- What hobbies you know;
- What is your hobby;
- If it is important for a person to have a hobby, why?
I'd like to give a talk on hobbies and interests people have.
As people have different talents, they have different hobbies. Some people may be very active and sporty. They go in for risky sports, such as mountain climbing, sky diving, BMX (bicycle motocross). For example, my dad is fond of going hiking. Other people may be interested in history or writing stories. My mum is fond of cooking.
Like other people, I also have a hobby. It is taking pictures. I always take pictures of different places when our family travels to other countries.
I think it is really important to have a hobby because, firstly, if you have a hobby, it keeps you busy, develops your mind. For example, if you are fond of reading, you become an interesting person. People will never feel bored when they talk with you. Secondly, it is important to have a hobby because you become a well-rounded person and it won't be difficult for you to get a new profession and to find a new job. Besides, if you have a hobby, you can join a club and meet new friends there. No matter which reason you have for your hobby, this activity fills your life with new knowledge and new impressions.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
Here is on the topic "The World of Jobs and Professions":

Remember to say:
- what professions are popular nowadays;
- what jobs are the most important ones and why;
- what prospects jobs can offer and what jobs attract you, why.
I’d like to give a talk about the world of jobs and professions. It’s not a secret that there are lots of different jobs and professions nowadays. Among them are a carpenter, an economist, a shop assistant, a car mechanic, a plumber, a builder, a hairdresser, a barber, an officer, a police officer, an accountant, a pilot, a driver, a programmer, a teacher and many others.
New professions are constantly appearing. Among the jobs that are most popular with teenagers are those in economic, tourist or computer fields. In my opinion, the profession of a manager is really interesting. .It requires working with people. Besides, one can become a computer programmer or a web designer because computers have become an important part of our every day life.
As for me, I would like to the job of a computer programmer. I think I have all the necessary traits of character for it. I am diligent, persistent and hard-working. Besides, I am good at Math and like designing web sites. I am sure my future job will bring me real satisfaction and a high salary.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
Card 3 You are to give a talk on your school. You should speak for not less than 1,5-2 minutes. You are to say 12-15sentences.
Remember to say:
- what school you study in; if it is a state school or an independent school;
- what subjects are taught in your school;
- what you would like to change in your school to make it an ideal one.
Well, I’d like to give a talk about my school. I study at Gymnasium
A lot of subjects are taught at our school. Among them are Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Russian, English, German, French, Geography. Besides, pupils of our school have PE classes.
Well, I personally think that our school is an ideal one. First of all, it has been renovated and now it is a comfortable and spacious building with all modern facilities, such as computer laboratories, a well-equipped stadium, and, of course, a good canteen with plenty of nice food.
Secondly, it’s a perfect school because we are taught by highly qualified and creative teachers. The friendly atmosphere encourages students to study well
If I had an authority, I would introduce some changes or make improvements in my school to make it an ideal one. For example, I would build a spacious swimming pool and open new drama, music and art societies.
That is the end of my talk.
Card 4 You are to give a talk on school uniform. You should speak for not less than 1,5-2 minutes. You are to say 12-15 sentences.
Remember to say:
- if it is necessary to have a school uniform;
- if the school uniform disciplines pupils and makes them concentrated;
- if you have a school uniform in your school, what it is like.
I’d like to give a talk on school uniform. There are different opinions on the problem of wearing or not a school uniform. Some people think it is good to have uniform as it is, firstly, organizes and disciplines pupils. A school uniform makes students more concentrated on their studies. Besides, there are children from low-income families who don’t feel comfortable when they know they can’t afford expensive fashionable clothes. Another strong argument for wearing a school uniform is that having one set of clothes allows a lot of free time, you see, we don’t have to spend countless hours looking for something to wear.
Of course, there are those who are against wearing a school uniform. They think that a school uniform doesn’t let them express their individuality. Also, they don’t feel comfortable in uniforms.
As for our gymnasium, we have to wear clothes of an office style. The colour of our shirts, suits, skirts, blouses and trousers can be white, light blue, grey, black or brown. Tops and shorts are forbidden.
I’d like to express my opinion about wearing a school uniform. I think that a school uniform is important for displaying unity and it gives students a sense of loyalty to their school.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
Card 5 You are to give a talk on the role of money in the modern world. You should speak for not less than 1,5-2 minutes. You are to say 12-15 sentences.
Remember to say:
- what money means for people;
- how money appeared and what equivalents of paper money people used;
- if you save or spend money.
I’d like to give a talk on the role of money in the modern world. I should say that modern world is unthinkable without money. There are four main things that money does for people. First, it makes possible exchange and trade. Money makes it possible to exchange your work for something you want. Second, money is a “yardstick of value”. Money is used to measure and compare values of various things. Third, money is a “storehouse of value”. This means you can sell something you have and get money to use it in future. Fourth, money is a “standard for future payments”. You use money as a form in which you can make later payments for the thing you have bought.
Nowadays we use money to pay for the things we buy but thousands of years ago, money was not used. Instead, man had the “barter” system. This meant that if a man wanted something he didn’t have, he had to find someone who had it. Then he had to offer him something in exchange. Some certain things were used as money because practically everyone would take these things in exchange. People used shells, beads, cocoa beans, salt, grain, tobacco, skins, and even cattle. But later, in China Greece
As for me, I always try to save some money for my dream. I am going to buy a new cool gadget that’s why I usually carefully plan my budget and don’t spend all the money I get.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
Card 6 You are to give a talk on shops and shopping. You should speak for not less than 1,5-2 minutes. You are to say 12-15 sentences.
Remember to say:
- why shops are ideal places to spend money;
- how often you go shopping and what kinds of shops you visit;
- what services shops offer for their customers.
Shopping has become not just a necessary but also pleasant activity as the range of shops is really wide and various. We can find goods and services to meet our both basic and choice demands. I'd like to name shops and goods they sell. One of the most important shops is, of course, baker's shop or bakery where we can buy white and brown bread, rolls, biscuits, sweet pies and cheesecakes. Not less important is dairy shop where they sell butter, milk, sour cream, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, and eggs. Ham, sausages, pork, beef, chicken are sold at the butcher's. At the fishmonger's they sell tinned fish, caviar, salmon, fish cakes, crab sticks, shrimps. I've got a sweet tooth, so I like to go to the sweet shop and buy chocolates, caramels, fruit-drops and marshmallows there. If you want to stay healthy and fit, you should go to the greengrocer's and buy vegetables and fruit, such as carrots, peas, tomatoes, apples, pears, plums, tangerines, onions, beets and turnips there. At the grocer's they sell packed and tinned food, such as oil, flour, vinegar, mustard, spaghetti, sugar and bouillon cubes. School life and studies can't go smoothly without stationery goods, such as paper clips, notepads, copy-books and glue, pens and pencils which you can buy at the stationer's.
There are small corner shops, supermarkets, department stores and big shopping centres or shopping malls. A corner shop is usually on the corner of a street, this shop sells mainly food and household goods. A super market is a large shop which sells all kinds of food and household goods. A department store is a large shop which is divided into a lot of different sections and which sells many different kinds of goods. A shopping centre or a shopping mall is an area in a town where a lot shops have been built close together.
There are many advantages of shopping centres. Firstly, they are very convenient due to their layout. Secondly, there is a wider variety of goods than at small shops. Besides, shopping centres house a collection of retail stores and restaurants, cinemas and entertainment areas for customers with children.
As for me, I like buying food mostly. When you come to the food shop you smell fresh bread, different rolls and many other delicious things.
Card 7 You are to give a talk on sport. You should speak for not less than 1,5-2 minutes. You are to say 12-15sentences.
Remember to say:
- What role sport plays in people's lives, what you think of extreme sports.
- What sports and games are popular among teenagers in your region;
- What a person should do if he or she wants to stay healthy.
It is impossible to imagine our life without sport. I'm sure, no one can live a long and healthy life without doing sports or taking exercises. Though there are those who are lazy and prefer to stay passive, most people, both grown-ups and teenagers, are keen on sports and like to spend their free time going in for this or that kind of sports. Thousands of people play different sport games, go in for track-and-field events, cycling, boxing and do other sports. In winter figure skating, skiing and skating are popular.
It's generally known that people who do physical exercises keep fit and stay healthy for long. Sports and games are really helpful to people who work with their brains. If you go in for sports, you lead an active lifestyle, feel part of a team and your life is full of new feelings and emotions. This means you are not alone. You've got a lot of friends and like-minded people. Besides, practising a sport is very useful for character training.
То my mind, people do extreme sports because they want to feel joy and excitement.
I am sure people do extreme sports to get some adrenalin. Among extreme sports are extreme canoeing, cliff jumping, freestyle motocross, hangliding, mountain biking: downhill, paragliding, rock climbing, white water rafting.
In our region teenagers also do various sports. Among them are basketball, football, hockey, swimming, boxing and gymnastics. Staying healthy is really important. You should eat healthy food, get up and go to bed early to have enough sleep, do regular exercises and clean teeth twice a day.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
Well, lots of people enjoy travelling. It's really interesting to see new places, small towns and great cities, exotic islands and cultural centres. People travel to different parts of the world and use various means of transport, such as buses, trains, ships and airplanes. Besides, there are those who prefer hiking and backpacking. Most people travel for pleasure, some people travel on business. But there are those who work and travel or study and travel. Such people combine work and pleasure. Many people prefer to travel light and they don't take much luggage on a trip.But there are those who take several suitcases with lots of things. When you start getting ready for a trip you should think of a number of things beforehand. For example, you should acquaint yourself with the geography of the route and region of travel. Besides, you should arrange, if possible, to have only one piece of luggage to look after. When travelling by air, wear loose, comfortable shoes that can be easily slipped on and off. The most suitable shoes for flying might well be sandals or flip-flops as you are required to take them off at the security checks. If you plan going camping or hiking, remember to bring maps that you can carry along with you. Research your destination on-line to find reviews of hotels, resorts and attractions before deciding on your travel plans. Make sure to research the current status of social and political events in the country you'll be visiting. This will allow you to avoid dangerous situations.A responsible traveller should follow the traveller's code of conduct. It is a set of rules one should follow not to do any harm to the people and place he or she is visiting. One of the main rules is to respect the fragile earth - both land and sea. You shouldn't disturb animals, plants or their natural habitat. You shouldn't leave litter or graffiti. You should keep noise to an appropriate level. You should respect local cultural traditions and customs by dressing and acting in a polite way. You should always ask before photographing and video-recording people. You should learn a few basics in the local language - it will be appreciated. Try to reduce usage of natural resources, for example fresh water. You should support local economies - buy local produce. Be ready to tip - in some economies people rely on their tips. Support local craftsmen by buying handicrafts.New Words: 1. hiking - пеший поход 2. backpacking - поход с рюкзаком 3. trip - короткая поездка 4. arrange business - организовать бизнес 5. journey - путешествие 6. voyage - путешествие по морю 7. cruise - путешествие на корабле, включающее посещение нескольких стран 8. crafts - ремёсла 9. sustainable tourism - щадящий туризм (способствующий поддержанию экономики, культуры и экологического баланса страны) 10. economy - экономика 11. ecotourism - экологический туризм 12. habitat - ареал обитания 13. educate - образовывать 14. conservation - сохранение (ресурсов) 15. foster - воспитывать 16. memories - воспоминания 17. footprints - следы, отпечатки стоп 18. travel light - путешествовать без багажа 19. luggage - багаж 20. suitcase - чемодан 21. beforehand - заранее 22. acquiant with - познакомить(ся) с 23. loose - свободный. не тесный 24. flip-flops - "вьетнамки" 25. security check - пункт контроля безопасности 26. research - исследовать, изучать 27. destination - пункт назначения, страна (цель путешествия) 28. review - обзор, отчёт, описание 29. avoid - избежать 30. responsible - ответственный 31. follow the traveler's code of conduct - соблюдать кодекс путешественника 32. fragile - хрупкий 33. disturb - беспокоить 34. litter - мусорить 35. appropriate - соответствующий 36. basics - основные слова и выражения 37. tip (s) - чаевые, давать чаевые 38. support - поддерживать 39. craftsmen - ремесленники 40. handicrafts - ручные изделия |
General Facts about Canada
https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/geography/countries/facts-about-canada/
Official Name: Canada
Form of Government: Federal parliamentary state
Capital: Ottawa
Population: 36,307,820
Official Language: English, French
Money: Canadian dollar
Area: 9,970,610 square kilometres
Major Mountain Ranges: Rockies, Coast, Laurentian
Major Rivers: St. Lawrence, Mackenzie
Canada is one seriously huge place! Measuring 4,600km from north to south, the country spans more than half the Northern Hemisphere. And at a whopping 5,500km from east to west, it stretches across six time zones! A vast, rugged land, Canada is the second largest country in the world (Russia being the largest) but only 0.5% of the world’s population live there.
Canada has a varied landscape, with majestic mountains, rolling plains, forested valleys, and beautiful blue rivers and lakes. The Canadian Shield, a hilly region of lakes and swamps, stretches across northern Canada and has some of the oldest rocks on Earth.
In Canada’s far north lies the frozen Arctic. Here, ice, snow and glaciers dominate the landscape. Brrrrrr! Despite the cold, harsh climate, Native Canadians, called First Nations people, live in this region, where they hunt and fish for food.
Canada’s remote north and extensive forests are home to lots of wonderful wildlife, from bears, wolves, deer, mountain lions, beavers and bighorn sheep, to smaller animals such as raccoons, otters and rabbits. The country’s lakes and rivers – which contain about 20 percent of all fresh water on Earth – are full of fish such as trout and salmon.
Canada’s prairies (open grasslands) in the south are home to American buffalo and pronghorn antelope. And in the sprawling evergreen forests of northern Canada, moose and black bears are amongst the amazing animals that can be found. Even farther north, herds of reindeer and musk ox roam the cold, bare tundra.
Canadians work hard to protect their native wildlife, and the country has 41 national parks and three marine conservation areas. Nevertheless, species like wolves, lynx and Atlantic fish have faced threats from overhunting and overfishing.

Pros and Cons of Wearing a School Uniform.
I'd like to give a talk on wearing a school uniform.
Well, there are different opinions on the problem of wearing a school uniform. Should all students wear a school uniform? Those who are for this rule think that school uniform , first of all, organizes and disciplines pupils. They strongly believe that wearing other different clothes distracts pupils from their studies. Besides, there are children from low-income families who can't afford to wear fashionable clothes. Thus, the uniform makes the gap between the rich and the poor less.Some people think that a school uniform helps pupils to concentrate on their studies. Moreover, it's not expensive. Another strong argument for wearing a school uniform is that you don't have to spend a lot of time in the morning looking for something to wear.
Of course, there are those who are against wearing a school uniform. They think that a uniform prevents them from expressing their individuality and showing their personality through clothing. Also, some children say that they don't feel comfortable in uniforms. For example, they don't like the look or the cut. As for our gymnasium, we have to wear clothes of an office style. The range of colours is restricted to white, light blue, grey, black, brown. Tops and shorts are forbidden. In conclusion, I'd like to express my own opinion about wearing a school uniform. I think that uniforms are important for displaying unity and give children a sense of loyalty to their school. I believe school uniforms introduce a feeling of belonging to one community.

Naturally, the schools have some things in common.
Firstly, both schools have lessons and teachers. Secondly, in both schools lessons are given in a school building. Besides, there are qualified teachers, who are good at their subjects, in both schools.

A continuous development and investment programme ensures that the School’s buildings and grounds are maintained to the highest standards ensuring our pupils enjoy the use of first-class facilities, including a state-of-the-art 3G all-weather sports ground, large multi-purpose sports hall and a professional standard Performing Arts theatre, The Hammond Theatre.
Generous teaching resources enhance lessons and students have access to a fully-equipped library, and specialist facilities for Art, Science, Technology and Languages.
The School has outstanding ICT facilities and is proud to be one of the leaders in this field in the independent education sector. Students have access to networked computers throughout the School, including those in three dedicated IT Suites, two Design Technology workshops, and three Science Labs, allowing the boys to access their work anywhere on the School site.
Hampton Sixth Form allows boys to approach their post-16 education in a challenging yet supportive environment. Our new Sixth Form Study and Careers Centre offers the ideal environment for independent and collaborative study.
In Sixth Form, teaching is organised in small groups, enabling pupils to build close partnerships with their Sixth Form subject tutors, ensuring their personal and academic development. The majority of boys continue their education through to Sixth Form at Hampton School. However we do welcome a number of external applicants every year from both the State and Independent sectors.
HEADMASTER’S WELCOME
I wish you a very warm welcome to Hampton, a happy and vibrant independent day school for boys aged 11-18. For over 450 years, Hampton School has been helping boys to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.
We are delighted that our examination results and university entrance record consistently rank among the very best in the country.
We are a lively, friendly and caring community, where innovative teaching is underpinned by strong shared values and complemented by outstanding pastoral care. We aspire to enable our boys not only to make sense of the world but also to want to go out and improve it.
However, we are not all about hard work. Life at Hampton is fun – we provide a remarkable range of co-curricular activities and a vibrant, balanced education with many opportunities to shine.
I warmly encourage you to visit us, with your son, to see what we have to offer and to speak with me, my colleagues and especially the boys.
With kind regards,
Kevin Knibbs MA (Oxon)
Headmaster
