COMMENT ON THE PICS
ВАРИАНТ 3
Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with
your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and
you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the
text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than
1.5 minutes to read it.
People have always told
stories and legends to explain natural, but mysterious, occurrences such as the
Northern Lights. The Vikings believed the Northern Lights were caused by the
shining weapons of warriors. The Alaskan people thought the lights were the
souls of salmon, deer and other animals. The Indians told the stories of giants
living in the North and thought the lights were their torches.
The Northern Lights are actually
caused by electrons from solar winds. They are attracted to the poles by the
magnetic fields found there. They mix with gases in the atmosphere, which
causes the gases to glow. The Northern Lights are most visible in the far
north. They are typically green, purple, red or blue.
Task 2. Study the advertisement. You are considering
renting a bike and now you’d like to get more information. In 1.5 minutes you

Task 3. You are going to give an interview. You have
