№5. A talk about the place where you live.

Remember to say:

-What is your town famous for?

-What is your favourite place in the city? Why do you like it?

-Are you going to stay in your city after leaving school or move to another place?

Well, I’d like to tell you about the place where I live.

Towns and cities come in all shapes and sizes.

 I love my hometown Revda – a small town in the Urals region.

I guess my hometown is famous for its big and interesting museum- Demidov Centre where you can get to know the unique history of Revda. Kabalinskiye springs is my favourite place. It is very popular in spring and summer. My family like to go to picnic there. In winter we enjoy cross –country skiing in the forest.

I can’t imagine living somewhere in another place that’s why I plan to come back after graduating from the university.

I hope living in my native town my entire life will make me happy. 

To sum up, this topic is really interesting and I think people will keep discussing it. 

№4. My career choice.

1.    what job you want to do in the future;

2.     what two subjects you think are the most important for your future job, and why;

3.      whether your family approve of your career choice or not.

I’d like to share my thoughts about my career choice.

Nowadays there are many kinds of jobs, so there is a lot of choice out there.

As for my career choice, being an architect is the most suitable job for me since I am keen on buildings. Besides, I know that there will be many different career opportunities when I get my qualification. As a qualified architect I can design buildings, work as an architectural journalist or even as an architectural historian. The good news is that I can earn a high salary.

When at school, I need to study maths and take courses in drawing, design and photography. Besides, history, English and computer studies will also be helpful if I want to do my job well.

My family approve my career choice since my granddad used to be an architect.  

To sum up, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

 №6.

About your school 

 What do you like most about your school?

·         What weekday do you find the most difficult, and why?

·         What would you like to change in your school life?

Well I’d like to share my thoughts about my school.

My school provides many good facilities: for example, friendly atmosphere and good teaching. Then, I like that Gymnasya arranges after- school activities for pupils to learn self- defense and show off all their talents.  But what I like most about my school is that I meet my friends there.

Actually, I find Monday the most difficult weekday because it’s hard to have so many difficult lessons like science just after the day off.   You know, when at school I go to all the lessons and do a lot of homework. I should do this so that I can go to university.  Teachers say I am good at history, geography and languages because I work hard. I think they are right. But I would like teachers not to give too much homework because homework is boring and makes school education challenging. That is what I would like to change in my school life.

To sum up, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

Language learning

1.  Why do lots of people learn foreign languages?

2.  Why have you chosen to do the English exam this year?

3.  What did you do to prepare for your English exam?

Well, I’d like to share my thoughts about language learning.

 Actually, lots of people learn foreign languages for different purposes: to study abroad, to work abroad or just for travelling. Besides, children have a foreign language as a school subject that’s why they learn foreign languages.

 As for me, I am good at English that is why I am taking the English exam this year.

 Indeed, I do a lot to prepare well for my English exam: for example I have read many texts aloud, I have written a big deal of personal letters. Apart from that, I do a lot of reading and listening exercises.

 To sum up, the topic is really important and I think people will always pay attention to it.

5.  The Internet. 
1. Why using the Internet is so popular? 2. How can the Internet help students in their studies? 3.Сan the Internet be dangerous and why?

Let me share my thoughts about the Internet.
Indeed, the Internet is quite popular nowadays since millions of people use the Internet doing different things online:  they send emails, watch videos online, people have profiles on websites like Facebook to communicate. In fact, people spend o lot of time online.
As for our school studies, the Internet is really helpful for doing a project at school. Sure, you can find information for your project in one second.
On the other hand the Internet can be dangerous because of some harmful sites.

To sum up, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

  1.     Why is a healthy lifestyle more popular nowadays?  

      2.    What do you do to keep fit?

Let me share my thoughts about a healthy lifestyle.

Indeed, a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays because people are more responsible for their health. 

And some people are even crazy about having a healthy lifestyle.

To be in perfect shape, I spend much time outdoors and eat a healthy diet. In fact, I am a healthy eating fan, so I eat much fruit and vegetables. At night I dream of eating loads of fast food but in the morning I eat porridge for breakfast and feel quite happy.

           To keep fit, I also take some exercises. I enjoy such sports activities as swimming, playing basketball, cross country skiing and skating. I am pretty sure these activities are popular with other teens in my region as well.

To conclude, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

№ 8.
Keeping pets.

1.Why do people keep pets?
2. What pets are the most popular in big cities?
3.Is having a pet a big responsibility?

Well, I’d like share my thoughts about keeping pets.

I think people have been keeping pets for so many years because pets give people much love. Sure, cats and dogs make best pets that’s why they are the most popular in big cities. Those who keep dogs and cats in big cities think that people should be allowed to bring well – behaved pets in stores and restaurants.

Of course, it is important for a child to have a pet because it encourages children to be responsible. Actually, having a pet is a big responsibility because one should feed a pet at least twice a day. If you have a dog as a pet then you should walk your dog every day in any weather.

To sum up, this topic is really interesting and I think people will always be interested in it.
