Устная часть ЕГЭ по иностранному языку. Чтение текста.

Научно-популярный текст - первое и самое легкое задание в устной части ЕГЭ по английскому языку. Выпускник всего-то должен прочитать отрывок.

Согласно критериям демонстрационного варианта, оценка будет производиться следующим образом:

Вот несколько демонстрационных вариантов этого задания:

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.

As soon as spring brings a new growth of bushes and berries, bears start feeding. They eat and eat. All through the spring and summer their feeding goes on. The bears build themselves up. They store food and fats that they will need in the fall when they start their long sleep.

As days grow shorter, and the temperature begins to fall, bears hunt for a sleeping place. It may be a shallow cave, or a deep crack between rocks. Some bears end up sleeping in hollow logs. Logs seem to be bears’ favourite places. Bears seem to choose small spaces. They can keep warmer in a cave that’s just large enough to hold them than in a larger cave. They often line their sleeping place with leaves and dried grass.

All through their winter naps, bears will not eat. Often they will sleep for 7 months, moving only now and then.

Many lands that had once been swamps were drained or filled in. There are different reasons why people drained swamplands. Some were drained to fight diseases caused by insects that lived in them. Because swamps were considered unpleasant places in which to live and harmful to health, many people thought that unless they were drained the land was worthless.

Other swamps were drained to make new land. As the population grew and more land was needed, people drained swamps or filled them to make room for more farms and factories, more roads and airports.

Few people thought that it might be harmful to get rid of swamps. As swamps disappeared, other things happened. There were both more floods and more droughts than before. There were also more fires, for swamps had acted as firebreaks. Hunters noticed that there was less wild game. Wild life that once lived in the swamps was dying out, because it had no place to live.

Как видите, тексты не очень сложные. Из отрывка в отрывок мы видим типичные сложные для чтения слова средней школы: warm, flood, blood, drought, muscles, bushes, bears, though, through и другие. К счастью, выпускник может сделать до трех незначительных ошибок плюс одну-две грубых. А больше там и ошибаться негде.

Советы:

1. Воспользуйтесь временем на подготовку и просмотрите текст, проговаривая его в уме, отмечая места, сложные в интонационном плане, - их стоит повторить несколько раз. 
2. Следите за текстом на экране при помощи паспорта или пальца. С экрана очень легко потерять строку, что приведет к необоснованной паузе и лишним нервам.
3. Не спешите и не захлебывайтесь. Полторы минуты вполне достаточно, чтобы неторопливо, четко и внятно прочитать два-три абзаца.
4. Следите за интонацией. В отдельных интонационных группах и при перечислении голос поднимается, а в конце повествовательного предложения падает.
