ВВЕДЕНИЕ
ЕГЭ по английскому языку с 2016 года включает 2 части: пись

менную (разделы «Аудирование», «Чтение», «Грамматика и лексика»
и «Письмо») и устную (раздел «Говорение»).
Для дифференциации испытуемых по уровням владения англий
ским языком в пределах, сформулированных в Федеральном компо
ненте государственного образовательного стандарта по иностранным
языкам, во все разделы экзаменационной работы наряду с заданиями
базового уровня включаются задания повышенного и высокого уров
ней сложности.
Уровень сложности заданий определяется характером языкового
материала и уровнем проверяемых умений, а также типом задания.
В работу по английскому языку включаются задания с выбором
ответа из 3 или 4 предложенных (21 задание), 17 заданий открытого
типа с кратким ответом, в том числе задания на установление соответ
ствия, 2 задания открытого типа с развёрнутым ответом (письменная
часть). С 2015 года появились 4 новых задания со свободно констру
ируемым ответом в разделе «Говорение».
Базовый, повышенный и высокий уровни сложности заданий ЕГЭ
соотносятся с уровнями владения иностранными языками, определён
ными в документах Совета Европы следующим образом:
• Базовый уровень — А2+
• Повышенный уровень — В1
• Высокий уровень — В2
Обычно задания в контрольных измерительных материалах (КИМ)

располагаются по возрастающей степени трудности внутри каждого
раздела экзаменационной работы.
В данной книге мы предлагаем вместе с авторами попробовать шаг
за шагом написать несколько сочинений, сформировать свои навыки
и умения перефразировать тему сочинения, выстроить ясную аргумен
тацию и контраргументацию, научиться грамотно писать вступление
и заключение.
Успешное выполнение задания 40 (написание сочинения объёмом
200-250 слов по заданной теме и предложенному плану) является
ярким показателем подготовленности выпускника, который может
набрать баллы на ЕГЭ в диапазоне 85-100. Такие Выпускники хоро
шо понимают звучащие и письменные тексты, содержащие достаточ
но сложную аргументацию и выражающие авторскую позицию. Они
умеют писать тексты с элементами эссе, у них достаточно широкий
словарный запас и уверенное владение основными грамматическими
конструкциями.
Подготовка к выполнению задания 40 — это серьёзный и долго
срочный проект, который может занимать год, а то и два еженедель
ной и кропотливой работы.
4
Целью данного пособия является оказание помощи учащимся и
учителям при работе над сложным разделом ЕГЭ по английскому язы
ку — выполнением задания 40 (сочинение с элементами рассуждения
«Моё мнение»). В пособии представлены все основные рекомендации
по подготовке и написанию сочинения, пошагово разбирается первое
сочинение, далее предлагаются темы и образцы сочинений-рассужде
ний. Образцы сочинений не являются эталонами, это варианты работ
выпускников разных лет, выполненные под руководством авторов дан
ного пособия. В приложении можно найти репертуар основных фраз и
клише, а также критерии оценивания данного задания в максималь
ные 14 баллов.
Успехов вам на экзамене! May success attend you!

Раздел 4. Письмо
Данный раздел на экзамене представлен двумя письменными продук
тивными заданиями:
• написание личного письма другу по переписке в неформальном
(informal) стиле объёмом 100-140 слов. Максимальный балл за успеш
ное выполнение данного задания - 6, рекомендуемое время -
15-20 минут;
• написание сочинения в нейтральном стиле (развёрнутое письменное
высказывание «Моё мнение») по предложенной теме и плану, который
состоит из пяти основных пунктов. Максимальный балл за успешное
выполнение задания 40 - 14, рекомендуемое время - 50-80 минут.
Для успешного написания эссе (сочинения) предполагается, что вы

пускник умеет:
• создавать собственное развёрнутое высказывание в соответствии с
коммуникативной задачей и в заданном объёме (200-250 слов);
• сообщать точную, полную и развёрнутую информацию в разрезе
именно предложенной темы письменного высказывания;
• выражать собственное мнение и чётко его аргументировать;
• делать выводы, подтверждая свою точку зрения;
• последовательно и логически правильно строить сочинение-рас
суждение;
• использовать соответствующие средства логической связи;
• лексически, грамматически и орфографически правильно оформ
лять собственный текст;
• стилистически правильно оформлять текст (в данном случае в со
ответствии с поставленной коммуникативной задачей выбирается
нейтральный стиль).
В качестве примера давайте рассмотрим успешное выполнение зада

ния 40 одним из выпускников прошлых лет.
Для начала внимательно ознакомимся с предложенным заданием.
Задание 40
Comment on one of the following statements.
40.1. The school uniform is useless.
40.2. It is right to read about historic places before sightseeing.
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement?
Write 200—250 words.
Use the following plan:
• make an introduction (state the problem paraphrasing the given
statement);
• express your personal opinion and give 2 -3 reasons for your opinion;
• express an opposing opinion and give 1-2 reasons for this opposing
opinion;
• explain why you do not agree with the opposing opinion;
• make a conclusion restating your position.
Уточним, что вам предстоит сделать:
• с 2019 года вам предстоит осуществить выбор одной из двух тем
сочинения в задании 40. Важно прочитать обе темы, постараться
определиться за несколько минут, какая из тем вам ближе, понят
нее; по какой из двух тем у вас набирается больше аргументов и
контраргументов (можно поработать с черновиком, но ВАЖНО не
затягивать процесс выбора - помните, что у вас в среднем есть 60
минут на выполнение этого сложного задания уровня В2);
• составить письменное высказывание «Моё мнение» в соответствии
с коммуникативной задачей, поставленной в задании, объёмом
200-250 слов. В данном случае у выпускника (мы остановили свой
выбор на 40.1) запрашивают его мнение о том, бесполезна (нужна)
ли школьная форма;
• высказать своё мнение и мнение оппонента полно, точно, развёрну
то и привести аргументы и контраргументы, доказательства, при
меры;
• сделать вывод в конце сочинения;
• последовательно и логически правильно строить своё высказывание
«Моё мнение»;
• использовать соответствующие средства логической связи;
• употребить языковые средства оформления ниеьменного высказы
вания точно и правильно.

В приложении к критериям чётко определён порядок

подсчёта слов в заданий 40 «Моё мнение»
При определении соответствия объёма представленной работы счи
таются все слова, с первого по последнее, включая вспомогательные
глаголы, предлоги, артикли, частицы. При этрм:
— стяжённые (краткие) формы can’t, didn’ t, isn’t, I’ m и т. п. счита
ются как одно слово;
— числительные, выраженные цифрами, т. е. 1, 25, 2009, 126 204
и т. п., считаются как одно слово;
— числительные, выраженные цифрами, вместе с условным обозна
чением процентов, т. е. 2 5 % , 100% и т. п., считаются кщс одно
слово;
— числительные, выраженные отдельными словами, считаются по ко
личеству слов— one, nineteen, twenty three;
— сложные слова, такие как good-looking, well-bred, English-speaking,
twenty-five, считаются как одно слово;
— сокращения, например USA, e-mail, TV, CD-ROM, считаются как
одно слово.
Рассмотрим один из возможных ответов учащегося
на задание 40:
1. Вы внимательно прочитали задание и предложенный план. Это мо
жет занять 1 -2 минуты, но это важно сделать, так как правильное
понимание задания - это залог его успешного выполнения.
2. Вам предстоит работа в течение 15-20 минут с черновиком. Важно
при работе на данном этапе не пытаться писать весь текст сочине
ния в черновике. В черновик запишите ключевые фразы - наброски
ваших идей по данной теме. В нашем случае появляется такая
таблица:
Контраргумент(ы)

morrow.
Наброски в таблице показывают, что аргументов в пользу школьной

формы больше, это и может послужить основой для нашего мнения
с аргументацией (... , потому что ... ; Например, ...) во втором абзаце.
Тогда основой третьего абзаца, в котором вы должны чётко и ясно вы
сказать и обосновать другую (противоположную) точку зрения, будет
являться первая колонка таблицы.
Последняя, третья колонка таблицы поможет вам чётко сформулиро
вать своё несогласие с третьим абзацем сочинения (мнением других
людей) в предложенном плане к заданию 40.
В черновике рекомендуется также потренироваться в перефразиро
вании темы данного сочинения, в подборе синонимов и антонимов к
основным словам по предложенной теме.
В данном случае вы должны уйти от полного или частичного повто
ра темы в первом абзаце (обратите внимание: с 2019 года в плане
к заданию 40 появилось уточнение - state the problem paraphrasing
the given statement). Подумайте, как вы можете сформулировать про-
блемность и дискуссионность темы о бесполезности школьной формы,
не забывая про перифраз.
The school uniform is useless.

Useless - синонимы: ineffective, unnecessary, to no avail, to no
purpose, etc.
Useless - антонимы: useful, beneficial.
Ещё раз хотим отметить, что на стадии подготовки к написанию со
чинения (работа с черновиком) важно чётко определиться, поддержи
ваете ли вы или отвергаете предложенное утверждение.
Внимательно просмотрите таблицу, сверьтесь с предложенным пла
ном. Второй абзац задания 40 предполагает, что вы приведёте не один,
а два-три аргумента в защиту своей точки зрения. Можно сделать
предварительный вывод, что большое количество доводов в таблице в
пользу вашей точки зрения. Если вы не можете с этим согласиться,
то важно продумать ещё аргументы в защиту вашей точки зрения,
так как строго по критериям проверки данного задания вы получаете
максимальный балл за решение коммуникативной задачи, если:
• в первом абзаце чётко сформулированы две противоположные точ
ки зрения и осуществлён перифраз предложенной темы сочинения
(state the problem paraphrasing the given statement);
• во втором абзаце изложена ваша точка зрения с убедительными и
ясными двумя-тремя аргументами;
• в третьем абзаце есть противоположное вашему мнению суждение
других людей с чёткими и ясными доказательствами этого мнения
(1 -2 аргумента);
• в четвёртом абзаце присутствует несогласие с высказанной в тре
тьем абзаце точкой зрения оппонента и есть её опровержение. Ваш
тезис обязательно должен содержать открытое вежливое несогла
сие;
• в заключении вы ясно подтверждаете свою точку зрения, т. е. ещё
раз обобщённо высказываете своё мнение в защиту или против
предложенного в задании 40 утверждения;
• вы помните про стиль при написании сочинения - нейтральный
стиль, объём 200-250 слов.
3. Наша работа с черновиком заняла 15-20 важных минут. 40-60 ми

нут отведите на пошаговое (в соответствии с предложенным планом)
ЬУполнёнйе з IL.LLiuJlu начните, работать с

чистовиком. Помните, что проверяется именно бланк ответов № 2,
никакие записи в черновике экспертами не рассматриваются и не оце
ниваются. ВАЖНО: если вы делаете ошибку при работе в чистовике,
то просто аккуратно зачёркиваете и пишете правильный ответ (вари
ант) сверху.
Давайте в соответствии с планом и предложенной темой
попытаемся сконструировать полный письменный ответ.
Важно помнить про объём, слова-связки, которые придадут целост
ность тексту, следить за своей письменной рёчью (обращаем внимание
на разнообразие структур, грамотность изложения» избегание повто
ров, правильное написание слов, расстановку знаков препинания).
• make an introduction (state the problem paraphrasing the giv

en statement)
These days the school uniform seems to be a thing of the past. How
ever, at some schools it is still part and parcel. Some people believe that
school uniform should be compulsory for students to wear while others
think it is absolutely ineffective and should be done away with. Person
ally, I share the former point of view.
• express your personal opinion and give 2 —3 reasons for your

opinion
In my view, the school uniform has a number of advantages. First

of all, it disciplines students, they realise that school is not a fashion
show and they should concentrate on their studies, not on their clothes.
Secondly, wearing a school uniform can save parents’ money because it
is cheaper than popular designer clothes. Finally, parents do not need
to worry about what their child will wear tomorrow.
• express an opposing opinion and give 1—2 reasons for this op
posing opinion
On the other hand, there is a large number of people who believe
that the school uniform is not completely useful. They also claim that
it limits students’ self-expression. Children are not able to be creative
with what they wear every day. That’ s why a lot of students hate the
school uniform.
• explain why you do not agree with the opposing opinion
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this opinion. In our modern world,

there is a great choice of school uniforms. So, you can always find some
thing to suit your pocket and taste. As a result, even the fussiest cus
tomers will be pleased with it.
• make a conclusion restating your position
All in all, I do believe that the school uniform can prove to be really
beneficial. Of course, it has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the
cons. Eventually, nothing can hide your personality.
4. Закончив выполнение работы в чистовике, в бланке ответов № 2,

ещё раз обращаем внимание на связность и убедительность высказы
ваний, лексическую сочетаемость, грамматическую и орфографиче
скую грамотность.
5. Обязательно перечитываем работы и пересчитываем количество
слов.
Теперь давайте оценим работу в соответствии с предложенными кри

териями.

ГЛА В А 2
\Учимея писать сочинение (задаиие 40>

Тему сочинения, как известно, не выбирают. Она предлагается на эк
замене независимо от нашего желания, вкусов и интересов. Поэтому
вы должны быть готовы к любой теме, нравится она вам или нет.
Чтобы вы смогли успешно справиться с этим нелёгким заданием,
мы предлагаем вам систему упражнений для обучения и тренировки.
Начнём с постановки проблемы.
Постановка проблемы
• 1-й абзац сочинения — постановка проблемы. Внимательно прочи
тайте формулировку предложенной темы.
Например, “Boys should learn to cook” . Определим основное на
правление темы. Это, во-первых, COOKING и, во-вторых, FORMING
THE BOYS’ CHARACTER. Значит, в постановке проблемы вам следует
подчеркнуть важность данных аспектов и наметить две противобор
ствующие точки зрения, которые должны столкнуться в 1-м абзаце.
В противном случае писать сочинение не имеет никакого смысла.
Итак, проблема в том, стоит или не стоит учиться готовить — should
learn or should not learn.
Неплохо начать эссе с вводной фразы, отражающей тематику эссе.
Cooking is an essential part of our life.

It is common knowledge that we eat to live and some of us should
do the cooking.
Lots of factors can form the character of a boy and the ability of
cooking food is one of them.
We cannot imagine our life without having; meals and cooking food.
• Следующий шаг - перифраз формулировки темы. Подберём лекси

ку, которая сможет заменить заданную.
boys young men, future men
should/should not must, have to, must/do not have to try

learn get some knowledge about, gain some experience
in, have an idea of
to cook to do the cooking
• Показать противоположность точек зрения можно следующим об

разом:
Some people believe that ... while the others ...

There is an idea that ... but there are those who argue
We can find lots of people who but their opponents totally disa
are absolutely sure that ... gree
• Закончить 1-й абзац можно фразой, призывающей к дискуссии, ко
торая явится логическим переходом ко 2-му абзацу, выражающему
точку зрения автора сочинения.
So, let us start by considering the facts.

I would like to express my point of view on the issue.
I am ready to express my personal opinion on the problem mentioned
above.
Итак, соединим составленные нами предложения воедино. Получаем:
Cooking is an essential part of our life. Some people believe that

young men must get some knowledge about cooking food while the
others say that this occupation is only for women. So, let us start
by considering the facts.
А теперь предлагаем вам написать свой 1-й абзац сочинения с опорой

на таблицы.
Попробуйте закрепить полученные знания, написав 1-й абзац сочине

ния по следующей теме: “ Household chores make families quarrel” .
Вам даны небольшие подсказки.
1. Основные направления темы:
Обязанности По дому
2. Вводная фраза, отражающая тематику сочинения:
It is common knowledge that ...
3. Перифраз формулировки темы, подбор лексических единиц:
household chores housework, work about the house

make cause
families family members
quarrel argue, fall out
4. Фраза, призывающая к дискуссии:
1 would like to ...
В итоге получаем:
It is common knowledge that ...
А теперь попробуйте справиться с заданием самостоятельно. Удачи!
Тема сочинения: “ Shopping is the best relaxation” .

1. Основные направления темы:
2. Вводная фраза, отражающая тематику сочинения:
3. Перифраз формулировки темы, подбор лексических единиц:
4. Фраза, призывающая к дискуссии:

В итоге получаем:
Итак, первый шаг сделан. Убедились, что в постановке проблемы

сочинения нет ничего сложного? Необходимо логически мыслить и
иметь достаточный запас лексики и грамматических структур для вы
ражения собственных мыслей.
Выражение своей собственной точки зрения

• 2-й абзац сочинения — выражение вашей собственной точки зре
ния на данную проблему {express your personal opinion and
give 2 —3 reasons for your opinion).
Вернёмся к теме “Boys should learn to cook" и продолжим нашу
работу. Чтобы приступить к работе над основной частью сочинения,
необходимо определиться с точкой зрения его автора, т. е. с ВАШЕЙ
точкой зрения. Если этого не сделать, можно столкнуться с труд
ностями во время аргументации (доказательства вашего мнения по
предложенной проблеме). Но гораздо хуже то, что по истечении по
ловины времени, отведённого на работу, вы поймёте, что надо было
доказывать противоположную точку зрения. А время, к сожалению,
уже упущено.
• Мы снова строим таблицу, на этот раз это таблица подбора
аргументации по двум противоположным точкам зрения. Каждая
мьщль должна быть аргументирована, поэтому целесообразно пи

statement);
• express an opposing opinion and give 1 -2 reasons for this opposing
opinion;

What is your o p i n i o n ?Do you agree
These days there is a popular opinion that teenagers would rather
communicate online than personally. However, some people doubt it
saying that for youngsters there is nothing as good as talking to a
person eye to eye. Personally, I agree with the former point of view.
To start with, I think that in today’s fast-moving world the Internet
has taken over every aspect of our lives, from studying to relaxing,
because it is exceptionally convenient and timesaving. Thus, young
people find it easier and faster to talk through many networking sites
available. Moreover, as our school curriculum is getting more complicated
every year, teenagers have less and less time to spend relaxing at home,
let alone hanging out with friends. That is why sometimes it is simply
impossible for young people to communicate with each other in person.
Therefore, the Internet is at their service when it comes to chatting.
However, some people claim that every now and then teenagers long
for eye-to-eye communication, because only this way they can see each
other’ s emotions, which are undoubtedly of great importance, especially
regarding the issues of teenage friendships.
Nevertheless, I cannot subscribe to this point of view. Today’ s social
networks have a variety of smileys available to make conversations in a
livelier way. What is more, if such a necessity appeared, youngsters can
use Skype or FaceTime to see each other or just record audio messages.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that these days teenagers prefer
communicating online for many reasons. Technological advances are
rapid and young people are trying to keep up with the times.

Nowadays most people are sure that technological advances adversely
affect people’s feelings and behaviour in the modern world. They believe
we are becoming boring and robot-like because of various new inventions
while other people do think that different technologies have no influence
on us and they do not make us less understanding and compassionate.
Personally, I agree with the first point of view.
To begin with, sometimes, spending most time with our gadgets, we
forget about people around us. We value live communication less and
less but some special apps or computers more and more. Also, we start
relying on electronic devices, totally depending on them. Instead of
trying to remember some meaningful information or dates of important
appointments, we often just put a note on our phones. This definitely
means we gradually forget about our human nature.
However, the opponents of this would say that using, for example,
gadgets is completely natural for modern people and it dews not affect
our feelings, emotions and behaviour in any way. They believe, in our
modern world, it is just impossible to cope with so much information.
Therefore, in their opinion, technologies do not change us, they just help
us to get used to everything new in our life.
Nevertheless, I still adhere to my point of view. I consider that
people are not able to resist technologies, eventually turning into robots
themselves. I think that our society quite often seems to be absorbed in
these technologies. Computers, cars, phones and other innovations just
do not let us notice the world around. We stop enjoying the life as it is.
To sum up, I am of the view that technological advances do make us
less human. They always replace real life with something new, which
does not appear to be exactly what we need.
3. When 16 years old, teenagers should not ask their parents for
pocket money.
These days there is a popular opinion that 16-year-olds should not ask
their parents for pocket money. However, some people doubt it saying
teenagers ought to turn to parents when they need money. Personally,
I agree with the latter point of view.
First of all, I believe that if youngsters ask their parents for cash,
they learn how to be economical because they have to spend their parents’
money wisely or else teens may not get it another time. I think it is
important to learn how not to spend too much, not to waste money from
the young age. Moreover, young people simply do not have their own
money as they do not have jobs, so teenagers turn to their parents.
16-year-olds are not experienced enough to get a greatly paid job, so
asking parents appears to be the only way of getting cash.
On the other hand, some people claim that young people, when they
are 16 years old, should not always ask their parents for allowance.
Teenagers have to work in order to get pocket money.
Nevertheless, I do not agree with this point of view. To my mind, if
16-year-olds work, they will not have time for getting their education,
so I believe it is quite normal to ask parents for a small amount of
money each week.
All in all, I think that when you are 16 years old, you have no other
way of getting pocket money but ask your parents for it. Youngsters
do not need too much, so it is not a disaster if they ask for some cash.
4. It’s a waste of time to read the same book more than once.
These days there is a popular opinion that reading the same book more
than once is a waste of time. However, some people doubt it saying it
is better to reread interesting books. Personally, I agree with the latter
point of view for a number of reasons.
First of all, I firmly believe that as time flies, people forget many
important and interesting things from those books they have once read.
It is really beneficial to read them again in order to refresh this or that
plot in your memory. Moreover, some books are just meant to be read
many times throughout one’ s life. They can include eternal truths that
are much valued and may be understood in a different way at each stage
of your long life.
On the other hand, some people have another point of view and claim
that there is no use rereading books as the first impressions of them are
usually the rightest ones.
Nevertheless, I do not agree with this opinion. I think that as we
grow, our beliefs change, so when we read the same books again, we
may notice precious things that were hidden from us before.
All in all, I consider that all books that grab your attention should
be read more than once so as to be better understood and perceived.
5. Everybody would like to work from home.

These days there is a popular opinion that every single person would
like to work from home. However, some people doubt it saying that
there are many jobs requiring special workplaces that are preferable.
Personally, J[ agree with the latter point of view.
Firstly, I think it is not easy to focus on your work at home as there
are many distractions, for example, a sudden urge to watch TV. On the
contrary, an office creates a working atmosphere that helps you to be
productive and concentrated, so your house does not seem to be the best
working place. Moreover, there is a great lot of jobs that simply require
getting out of your house and are at the same time very interesting
and significant, which makes them attractive to people. For instance,
reporters have to travel a lot to provide millions of people with vital
information.
On the other hand, some people claim that home is the only right
working place, because it is not only cheaper, but also more comfortable
because you can work without taking o ff your pyjamas.
Nevertheless, I do not agree with this opinion. I think that work
uniform is comfortable enough to wear, let alone it is made specially to
satisfy all your working needs. For example, builders have many pockets
on their jackets to carry many different tools.
All in all, I firmly believe that it is much more enjoyable to work out
of your home than stay there all year round. Every job needs a special
place to help people cope with different tasks.

These days there is a popular opinion that there is no such weather
that you cannot take pleasure in. However, some people doubt it saying
it is impossible to like rain or cold. Personally, I agree with the latter
point of view.
Firstly, I believe that stormy weather makes everyone feel blue
because everything is dark and overall depressing. You feel no will to
do anything but lie on your bed and grumble over all the failures of your
life. Moreover, bad weather may not just ruin your mood, it can also
hurt you. For example, it is no surprise that during hurricanes many
people lose their houses and relatives, as well as their own lives, so bad
weather is not enjoyable at all.
On the other hand, some people claim that rainy and cloudy weather
makes them feel relaxed because the light is dimmed and the sound of
rain is like music to their ears.
Nevertheless, I disagree with this opinion. I think that dark and faded
colours cannot improve a person’s mood. The idea of a good mood itself
revolves around the sun and blue sky, so I believe cloudy weather forces
people to feel tired not relaxed.
All in all, I tend to think that various types of weather can affect
you in different ways, so they definitely have a great influence on your
mood. No weather is perfect, so not all weather is meant to be enjoyed.

W hat is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement?
These days there is a popular opinion that meat is unhealthy to eat.
However, some people doubt it saying that eating meat is good for you.
Personally, I agree with the latter point of view.
First of all, I believe that meat is very nutritious as it contains all
the necessary proteins. When you eat it, your, body gets everything
it needs to work properly. Secondly, when cooked right, meat is not
too high in calories but it is still enough to keep you up and running.
A right number of calories is exactly what you need to stay healthy, so
eating meat is not bad to your health.
However, some people claim that eating meat is unhealthy as it is
not only usually cooked in plenty of oil, but also goes with other fat
food, so you tend to overeat. That is why these people say that meat is
harmful for your health.
Nevertheless, I do not agree with this opinion. I think th at you
decide how to eat meat - deep-fried or boiled - so the number of calories
depends on your preferences and meat itself has nothing to do with being
unhealthy.
All in all, I firmly believe that eating meat affects you and your
health in a good way. So, if you crave for some chicken or lamb, why
not eat them!

The subject of a teenagers’ book choice has been under heated debates
recently. Some people say that we should allow teens to read every text
they like whereas others believe that adolescents’ book list should be
verified. Personally, I find the former point o f view more truthful.
To start with, it is well-known that with the help of books people
have the chance of getting to know with the best thoughts of people
of different cultures and from different centuries. For this reason,
forbidding teenagers to read what they prefer is just unfair. What is
more, people tend to remember the information about something better
if they are interested in the topic. It is easier to broaden your horizons
when you love the way the text is written and what it is about. That
is why giving adolescents the right to choose whatever book they like
is very useful.
However, there are those who oppose to this point of view. They claim
that along with inappropriate films many books of the same quality
exist. They say we should take care o f what teenagers read otherwise
their mental health can be harmed.
Nevertheless, I cannot but adhere to my standpoint. I believe that
we learn life from books and if a teenager escapes from anything bad
written in a book, it does not guarantee that they will not meet it in
their real life.
To sum up, I hold the opinion that every adolescent should have a
free will to read whatever they want to.

What is your opinion? Do you. agree with this statement?
The subject of students’ motivation has been under heated debates
recently. Some people think that getting marks does require students
to study harder whereas others say that there is no correlation between
grades and motivation. Personally,, I find the former point of view more
truthful.
First of all, from my point of view, the marks you get in the
educational institution are equal to the salary adults are paid. Grades
and future pay. are connected because after getting used to doing your
best at school or university you’ll do the same at work. Secondly, it
is a well-known fact that there are special grants for А -students in
university. This is why marks do motivate a student since the harder
you study the more you’ll get.
However, there are those who oppose to this. They believe that getting
marks does not encourage students to study, the marks we get at school
do not reflect anything. These people also say that working for grades
will not have any profit in the future.
Nevertheless, I cannot but adhere to my standpoint. I think that
marks are the reflection of the amount of energy you spend at school.
Also, getting grades helps you to strengthen your character which will
definitely help you after graduating.
To cut in a nutshell, I hold the opinion that getting marks does help
students to study and gives them motivation to do it better.
10. Some people think that it is better to study six days a week at
school.
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this, statement?
These days many people would agree that it is more appropriate for
pupils to study six days a week. Others argue we should not overestimate
students’ abilities and overload them with 5 -6 other classes on Saturday.
As for me, I believe studying on Saturdays should be prohibited.
To start with, the pupils who study five days a week have more spare
time they chn spend preparing school homework. It means teachers’
tasks will be done properly and that is really crucial for the process of
education. What is more, we do understand how significant it is to care
about students’ health. One of the main problems teenagers suffer from
is lack of sleep. That is why having two days o ff school allows them to
get enough sleep which helps young people to stay healthy.
On the other hand, as an old English proverb says “ a coin has two
sides” and there are people who subscribe to the opposite point of view.
They claim that students should always concentrate bn their studies even
on Saturdays because they would like to pass all final exams successfully
and to enter prestigious universities.
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this statement. Little do we realise
that students always try to work hard in order to succeed in passing
their exams but they also need a break to relax before starting a new
week which is filled with obtaining new knowledge.
All things considered, in my opinion it is better to study five days a
week. Only in this way will the educational process be really efficient.
11. Fast food outlets should be closed.

These days many people share the opinion that fast food outlets ought
to go out of business. Others argue that we cannot do without them as
they help us in many different situations. As for me, I think it is better
to live without consuming fast food products.
To start with, junk food has a bad influence on human’ s health. Hardly
do we realise that having regular meals in fast food outlets increases our
chances of gaining serious diseases. For instance, it is widely known
that eating junk food regularly can lead to people becoming overweight.
What is more, the recent scientific researches show that if you eat fast
food on a daily basis, you will soon become addicted to it. This kind of
addiction is very hard to cure, so it is better to avoid eating fast food
products.
However, there are people who argue that fast food outlets are very
significant for modern citizens, especially for businessmen. At fast food
outlets people can have a quick lunch, which is very delicious at the
same time.
Nevertheless, I can’t agree with this statement. Maybe fast food is
tasty but it is definitely not wholesome for us. There are no vitamins
in it at all. If you want to live a long and prosperous life, you should
start eating naturally-grown food, containing ingredients which are vital
and health-giving for your body.
To sum up, I think people should try to live a healthy lifestyle, so
fast food outlets should be banned.

These days in our fast-developing world many character traits are
required to carry through different types of occupation. Some people
suppose that discipline is more crucial than talent while others believe
that you cannot manage any business without an inclination for it.
Personally, I do agree with the former point of view.
To start with, if a person is well-organised, it means they can
easily arrange their time so that their better results will be gained
in a shorter period. For instance, this way they will not be distracted
from necessary work by chatting with friends or surfing the Internet.
Moreover, discipline helps us set priorities. For example, to figure out
what should be done firstly. It not only lightens the work but also gives
us an opportunity to have time to complete more tasks.
However, some people have the other opinion. They consider that
the only way any occupation can be interesting and productive is when
a person is talented and creative. They think such a feature as self-
organisation is not enough to do qualitative work.
Nevertheless, I disagree with this viewpoint. Having a talent is not a
sign of success and quality. We know that many talented people waste
their time on unnecessary things and in most cases it turns into negative
consequences. It does not matter how creative you are if you cannot
manage your own business properly.
To sum up, although there are different opinions on this topic, I
firmly believe that discipline is the most important part regarding any
work.
13. Many years ago young people were more responsible and mature.
Some people, especially older ones, think that many years ago a young
generation was more reliable and grown-up. Others argue that modern
pace of life makes young people more rational. As for me, I suppose
that behaviour of many teenagers leaves much to be desired these days.
To begin with, in the past parents paid more attention to child-
rearing. Not only were they just stricter or more demanding, but also
endeavoured to foster important moral statures. These days it can often
be seen that children are left' to themselves and get into a bad company.
What is more, people used to be more religious. Faith tradition regulated
people’s behaviour, being some kind of dos and don’ts. Because of this,
there were not as many criminal cases with the involvement of the young
people as we have now.
On the other hand, some claim that young population is no longer
repressed by out-of-date principles and can become more independent
and take responsibility for their actions, so their immaturity is not
the case.
Nevertheless, I disagree with this point of view, many young people
cannot make the best of this freedom and instead of developing themselves
often become addicted to poor habits, to dependence and sponging these
days.
To sum up, although youths have more chances to take responsibility
for the life, very few of them can use it properly. I firmly believe that
many years ago young people were under stronger supervision and that’ s
why they were more responsible and mature to become the shield and
buckler of the family.
14. Some people think that a supermarket is a better place for

shopping than small local stores.
In today’ s rapidly changing world all aspects of our day-to-day life
are becoming more and more advanced. Hence, there’ s an opinion that
small local stores are gradually turning into a thing of the past, giving
way to huge supermarkets. There’re people, though, who still consider
local stores a better place for shopping. However, I do think saying so
is rather unreasonable.
First and foremost, it cannot be argued that the range of goods
supermarkets have to offer is much wider than a small local shop has.
Undoubtedly, the more you have to choose from, the higher is the chance
you will be pleased with the purchase. Furthermore, being it easier to
survive for them in the conditions of today’ s highly competitive market,
supermarkets are able to keep the prices down, while for small shops it
appears sometimes virtually impossible.
Those who prefer local stores anyway, however, emphasise the fact
that the supermarkets lack personal approach, whereas if you buy stuff
at the same small shop every week, the shop assistant gets to know you
and you can use their advice or have a small talk.
Although I cannot help but agree with that statement, I adhere
to my standpoint. Fortunately, our life still has so many wonderful
opportunities for people to communicate in person, that it seems silly
to cling to each and every of them if it is clearly not as convenient as
its modern equivalents.
To put it in a nutshell, I do believe nowadays a supermarket has
become a far better place for shopping than a local store. Tastes differ,
however, so everyone can opt for what they like but shopping malls have
the game in the hands anyway.
15. It is important for high school students tostudy compulsory

subjects, even if they do not see any need for them in the near future.
In today’s rapidly advancing world the education young specialists are
required to possess is becoming more and more profound and specific.
That’ s why high school students find themselves on the horns of a
dilemma: whether to study all the compulsory subjects or to concentrate
on those that may be useful in the future. As far as I am concerned,
the latter choice seems to be much more reasonable.
First and foremost, it is self-evident that nowadaysknowledge is
power, however, this concerns only knowledge in a particular field. For
example, if you are an adept at chemistry, your knowledge of the 14th-
century Italian literature is unlikely to be your advantage over other
chemists. Furthermore, unfortunate as it is, people tend to forget all the
information they feel no need for often enough. Seldom do doctors, for
instance, remember a word of a foreign language they studied at school
if they have not practised it since then.
Those who oppose this opinion, however, insist that only if a student
gets a well-rounded education, can he or she become an accomplished
person, otherwise our world will have narrow-minded people unable to
keep a dialogue alive.
Nevertheless, I adhere to my standpoint. It is the brightest students
who can afford to study both subjects they need on an advanced level
and the ones they see no need for whatsoever on a basic level, but I fear
it is one or the other for a mediocre student.
To put it in a nutshell, I strongly believe that in our competitive
society students should leave the subjects they do not need in middle
school in order to succeed.
16. Childhood is the safest period of human life.

Being children, we often heard that we were having the best, funniest
or safest time of our life, that is a widespread belief in our society.
However, that point of view is being criticised as well. Personally, I
do not think childhood can possibly be defined as the safest period of
human life.
First and foremost, it cannot be argued that a child’ s psyche is
extremely fragile and, therefore, the youngest members of the society
are at much bigger risk of suffering from a psychological trauma.
Professor Freud thought every problem of a person has its roots in
their childhood and he might have been right. Furthermore, a child has
few, if any, ways of escaping domestic violence. While a woman violated
by her husband can easily leave him, a child, as a rule, has nowhere
to go.
Those who consider childhood to be the most secure period of life,
though, claim that a child is always protected by grown-ups from any
financial problems his or her family may face, so a child is, so to say,
financially secure.
Although this is self-evident for most of the Western countries, I
stick to my standpoint. Only when the parents can somehow manage
to make ends meet, does their kid know almost nothing of the current
state of affairs. When it gets really bad, the child will be working in
order to feed his or her family, too, as it happens here and there in the
underdeveloped countries.
All things considered, true as it may be for a lucky kid, I believe
that childhood is not the safest period of each and every person’ s life.

What is your opinion?D o you agree with this statemen
In today’s globalised world the growing appeal for travelling seems
rather obvious. According to a common belief, it’s young people who
take most pleasure in this activity. Personally, I, however, firmly believe
that is just another myth to be shattered and senior citizens tend to
travel even more than the young.
First and foremost, no one can appreciate the freedom of going
wherever they like, but those who were deprived of it for almost a
lifetime. For the elderly of today lived most of their lives during the
Cold War seldom had they the opportunity to visit countries of the
hostile camp. Fortunately, nowadays they have that chance and few of
them intend to miss it. Furthermore, in high-speed frenzy of modern life
only when retirement comes, can you thoroughly enjoy travelling with
the aim of not simply escaping from everyday routine, but of broadening
your horizons.
Those who contradict this opinion, though, claim the older a person
gets, the more likely he or she is to adopt a couch-potato lifestyle and,
hence, not be so zealous to experience anything new.
Albeit I cannot help, but partly agree with this point of view, I adhere
to my standpoint. Everything depends on the country in question, since
the elderly of developed countries are growing more and more broad
minded. I strongly hope this tendency will expand to the rest of the
world sooner or later.
All things considered, I would like to reiterate my point that senior
citizens take even more pleasure in travelling than young people do and
it is about time the majority woke up to this fact.
Hardly can it be argued that English is incontestably the international
language of today’ s world, so the assumption that being fluent in English
you can easily communicate with the whole world seems quite reasonable
to me, notwithstanding the fact there’ re a lot of opponents of this point
of view.
First of all, due to the globalisation tourist flow to different countries
is increasing rapidly and the more it flourishes, the better level of
command is demonstrated. Even the Moscow police are now obliged to
brush up their English! Awful as their pronunciation may be, you will
still be able to understand them.
The opponents of this idea, though, claim that if while travelling in
Russia, for instance, you found yourself in some village in the middle
of nowhere, your chances of finding an English-speaking person would
be slim, to say the least.
I can’t help but partly agree with this statement. Nonetheless,
I adhere to my standpoint. Seldom do the tourists try going somewhere
o ff the beaten track and visiting the popular tourist destination they are
bound to find someone who will understand them.
To put it in a nutshell, I am of the view that fluency in English will
spare your communication difficulties in any country of the world.
19. Big cities all over the world have lost their national identity and
now look the same.
Globalisation seems to be becoming more and more intense these
days. Although people from different countries are communicating more,
international business is flourishing, it is said that at the same time
countries start losing their identity and all the big cities have already
become similar. Personally, I do not share this opinion, though.
First and foremost, although there can be some modern structures
that look alike in big cities, each and every of them has its own history
and, hence, historical sights. Obviously, you can’ t mistake London for
another city because of the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral,
etc. Furthermore, while constructing new buildings modern architects of
each country try their best to create something unique. Not only is it
ancient buildings that express the originality of London, but it can also
be, for instance, the Cucumber Tower.
Some people claim, however, that if you found yourself in some
bedroom community of a capital far away from the known sights, you
wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Berlin and Paris.
Notwithstanding the fact that there’ s a grain of truth in this opinion,
I adhere to my standpoint. I don’ t think that two districts that seem
slightly alike can be enough to justify the claim that the whole cities
have become impossible to tell apart.
To put it in a nutshell, I am convinced that globalisation does no
harm to national identity and appearance of big cities.
These days there is a common opinion that it is impossible to become
popular at school having low grades. However, some people doubt it
saying that marks are not the thing that really matters. Personally,
I agree with the former point of view.
First of all, I believe that school is a place where you gain knowledge
and experience, so the better you study, the more attention and positive
feedback from the teachers you get. Tutors will definitely appreciate
your persistence and praise you in front of other students. Moreover,
if you pass all your tests with flying colours, your peers will look up
on you and always ask for advice. Good marks can help students get
a great reputation that will make them more popular among other
pupils.
However, some people claim that grades have never been a big deal in
the question of popularity. They say that students can get school-famous
partying with their peers at discos, because many popular scholars spend
their free time this way. Thus, if you do so, you will make it into the
most famous school company.
Nevertheless, I do not agree with this point of view. I think that if
all you do is partying, you will get not famous but notorious for it, as
it will show your immaturity. I believe that to become popular you need
to stand out in the crowd, not be a part of such an ill-mannered group
of underage people.
Summing everything up, I would like to say that at school your results
affect your reputation greatly. Hence, it is crucial to get good marks in
order to become famous at school.
21. Travelling abroad helps to understand your own country.

In today’s globalised world where travelling is becoming more and
more popular there is an opinion that one can forget about one’s own
culture while exploring the other. The opponents of this opinion, though,
claim that travelling can even help to understand one’s own country.
Personally, I share the latter point of view.
First and foremost, having grown up in a certain culture you have it
inside you without realising it. Only when you are exposed to a completely
different culture, will you see what it is that makes your own culture
so unique. Furthermore, not only can foreign people introduce you to
their own country’s traditions, but they may also tell you how they see
your motherland and your fellow countrymen, which will undoubtedly
be of help.
The opponents of my point of view, however, emphasise the importance
of exploring the culture from the inside, rejecting the possibility to learn
anything new while being miles away from home.
Notwithstanding the fact that I cannot but agree with my opponents
about learning from the inside, I adhere to my standpoint. Great though
may seem to you understanding of your own culture, without your
knowing the perception of it from the outside it would still be lop-sided.
To put it in a nutshell, I strongly believe that travelling can help one
better understand one’s own culture while broadening one’s horizons and
showing one everything from a foreigner’s point of view.
22. A popular actor’s life is always fun.

In today’s world where film industry is on its highest point, the
cherished desire of more and more teenagers is becoming an actor, since
they presume their lives are going to become nothing but merriment
and prosperity. Personally, I, however, object to this point of view for
a number of reasons.
First and foremost, not only do actors have fun going out to clubs
and parties in their free time, but they also face plenty of difficulties
the most obvious of which seems to be lack of privacy. Being always
in the public eye means yellow press constantly making up savoury
stories about you, let alone discussing every aspect of your private life.
Furthermore, numerous actors wouldn’t have been so successful but for
their devotion to their job and readiness to make sacrifices. Are all
teenage girls prepared to shave their heads for a role like Karen Gillan
— did to become Nebula in “ Guardians of the Galaxy” ? I suppose not, just
as they wouldn’t put up 20 pounds like Renee Zellweger for “ Bridget
Jones’s Diary” .
66
However, it is claiming that fashionable parties raid luxurious
ceremonies actors attend can easily make up for far-fetchedinconveniences
of their lives.
Despite this widespread belief, I adhere to my standpoint. Recognition
is a mere tip o f the iceberg beneath which lie long hours of hard and
strenuous work every day. Actors are often forced to make ends meet
as nobody wants to give them parts in films or performances.
To put it in a nutshell, glorious though a celebrity’s life may seem,
I do believe it is not entirely as splendid as hordes of screaming fans
believe.
23. Too much parents’ love can spoil a child.

Nowadays the question of how you should bring up your children is
becoming a topic of a more and more heated debate. Some people say
you should love your children unconditionally, while others note that too
much parents’ love will inevitably spoil the young. Personally, I agree
with the latter point of view.
First and foremost, not only can a child praised too much by his parents
start to look down on other people, but he may also develop disrespect to
the parents themselves. Furthermore, should the things a child does be
estimated inadequately, his moral principles may be formed in a wrong
way, which will lead to conflicts and problems in his future life.
The opponents of this opinion claim, however, that threating your
children too strictly can cause psychological problems lasting for a
child’ s entire life. Sigmund Freud did believe that all the roots of adult
self-deprecation and other problems lie in the childhood.
Notwithstanding the fact that I cannot but agree with the renowned
psychiatrist, I adhere to my standpoint. Strict though the upbringing
of our grandparents was, they seemed to have pretty happy lives. It is
finding the middle ground between being too hard and too lenient what
a good parent must reach.
To put it in a nutshell, I do believe that parents should love their
children, but never turn a blind eye to their misbehaviour.
24. Sewing and knitting clothes at home is a waste of time and money.
In today’s trendy world the main objective of eccentric teenagers
has become self-expression. That’ s why a great number of modern girls
take up hobbies their grandmothers were keen on - sewing and knitting,
which nowadays are considered by some a complete waste of time and
money. Personally, I do not share this opinion and do believe the effort
put in sewing or knitting clothes is indisputably going to be paid off.
First and foremost, only if you make your clothes yourself, provided
you possess a certain level of creativity, can you be sure they are
unique. Assuredly, designer clothes can be one of a kind as well, but
they are undoubtedly much more expensive. Furthermore, this can be an
additional source of income, since if you are skilful enough, not only can
you make your own clothing items, but you also have the opportunity
to sell them to others in order to make some money.
Those who oppose this opinion, however, claim that the quality of
a handmade piece of clothing might not be up to the stock clothes’
standard, so they are not worthy of rubbing your fingers to the bone
while making it.
Notwithstanding the faet that there’s a grain of truth in this opinion,
I adhere to my standpoint. Quantity makes quality, so the more you sew
or knit, the better you become at it.
To put it in a nutshell, I strongly believe sewing and knitting are
hobbies of great usefulness and taking them up may not only save you
some money, but also bring you satisfaction.
25. It is not right to be strict with little children.

What is your opinion ?D o you agree with this statement
The question o f how parents should bring up their children has always
been a subject of heated debates. In the past being strict with one’ s
children was generally considered to be right, but nowadays more and
more people are saying that this is not an option. Personally, I agree
witk t k ш аad, mam Medm neiit a# vim.
First and foremost, it’ s scientifically proven that the roots of most
adult psychological problems lie in the childhood, as Sigmund Freud
noticed more than a hundred years ago. By being too strict with your
child you may do harm to his or her mental health. Furthermore, only
if a child trusts his or her parent completely, can they become really
close. It’s self-evident you will not trust anyone you fear might punish
you with your secrets.
The opponents of the coneept o f being lenient to small children,
though, claim that not only may the children of indulgent parents grow
up to be rude, but they will also never become mature.
Notwithstanding the fact that I cannot but agree that such a situation
is possible, I adhere to my standpoint. Effective as punishment may be
in terms of making a child behave themselves, it is not the only option.
There are many other methods of upbringing which do not include being
too strict.
To put in a nutshell, I do believe that parents should not be strict
with their little children, however effective they may find it.
26. Clothes people are wearing can influence their behaviour.

These days there is a popular opinion that people’s behaviour is based
on clothes they are wearing. However, some people doubt it saying the
way they dress does not influence the way they act. Personally, I agree
with the former point of view.
First o f all, I believe that the uniform, for example, people are
wearing affects them in a good way because it makes students more
concentrated during lessons as they focus on learning, not on the way
they look. Moreover, I think that if clothes are too open, they make
people feel insecure. Thus, he or she acts in a more reserved way. People
usually feel uncomfortable wearing vests, shorts or bikinis, so their
behaviour changes.
However, some people claim that clothes have nothing to do with the
way they act. They say that each person has a unique character that
cannot be influenced by the way they are dressed, because what really
matters is a person’s inner world.
Nevertheless, I do not subscribe to this point of view. I am of the
view that clothes express a person’ s individuality, so wearing what they
like makes them feel happier. Thus, a person tends to be more friendly,
open-minded and active.
All in all, I firmly believe that clothes we are wearing influence our
behaviour greatly. An eye-catching outfit that a person likes is a key to
being themselves and feeling overall happy and independent.

What is your opinion? Do you agree with^ this statement?
According to statistics, over the last few years souvenirs sales have
increased greatly. Nowadays you can find stalls selling magnets and
postcards even in the most remote areas of the world. Some people think
that buying souvenirs is a complete waste of money while others believe
they are worth buying. Personally, I share the latter point of view.
Undoubtely, souvenirs have some advantages. First and foremost,
it is memory. I mean people buy souvenirs so that they remind them
of the trips they took and the places they visited. Moreover, some
souvenirs, for example, carpets, paintings and so on, can be used as
interior decorations. By the way, some people even collect coins, magnets
or postcards.
However, some people claim that souvenirs are absolutely useless and
are not worthy of spending money on them. They also say that today
souvenirs are becoming more and more expensive.
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this opinion. Nowadays there is a
wide range of souvenirs and everyone can find something to suit his
or her pocket and taste. You can also buy things such as umbrellas,
neckerchiefs, T-shirts or even jewelleries as they are both practical and
memorable.
All in all, I firmly believe that souvenirs are worthy of the money
they cost. Eventually, it is not all about magnets and postcards. In
today’s world every person can choose something special that will help
cherish their memories forever.
28. Everybody should be able to cook.

In our fast-moving world people have almost no time for cooking, and
they prefer eating out or ordering a takeaway. Some people still think
that everyone should have basic cookery skills while others believe that
now there is no need to prepare food by yourself. Personally, I identify
myself with the first point of view.
To start with, nutrition is one of our most basic needs, so everyone
should be able to support their life unaided. Moreover, home-cooked meal
is healthy and tasty as you have an opportunity to choose fresh and
qualitative ingredients and cook whatever you want and whenever you
want. In this way, you also feel a great deal of independence. Finally,
if you are able to cook, you can treat your friends and relatives with a
delicious cake, for example.
However, some people claim that in our modern world they are just
too busy to cook themselves while cooking requires a lot of time and
you are not always pleased with the results. So, they prefer eating at
a restaurant or at a cafe or simply buying food in the nearest super
market.
Nevertheless, I cannot share this opinion. Cooking is a long process
but this time is worth spending because eating out is much more
expensive and not everyone can afford to do it while living on dry
rations is harmful to your health. Besides, you are more likely to get
food poisoning when you eat somewhere at a cafe.
All in all, I firmly believe that everyone should be able to cook. It is
an essential skill that everyone should acquire as it is almost taken for
granted and can prove to be really useful in your life.
29. Exams are a fair way of testing knowledge.

The issue of traditional examinations frequently generates a great
deal of heated debates. Most people claim that it is reliable while testing
students’ capabilities. Still, others think that exams may prevent a
person from demonstrating their genuine knowledge. Personally, I totally
disagree with those who say that exams are effective.
In my opinion, an exam often provides an inaccurate presumption
of a test taker’s intelligence. In the first place, an exam is likely to
check a student’ s ability to do tests rather than authentic knowledge.
As a result, a student with well-developed test-taking skills may have
an edge over that with a deeper knowledge of a subject. Furthermore,
the multiple choice format of most exams limits creativity. Therefore,
students who think outside the box tend to have problems demonstrating
their outstanding capabilities.
On the other hand, it is argued that the standardised system of most
exams ensures that students in each part of the state are equal while
writing the finals. Not only do the questions remain unchanged but there
is also a universally fair grading system provided regardless of where
an exam is taken. .
Nevertheless, I am still convinced that exams are not so advantageous.
The standardised system suggests that students know what to expect
from an exam. Thus, there are a lot of opportunities for cheating.
Consequently, the results may turn out to be unfair.
Taking everything into account, whilst there are strong arguments in
favour of exams, I firmly believe that they are not as reliable as they
seem to be.

Nowadays, fortunately or unfortunately, we cannot imagine our
school life without exams. Some people think it is a good motivation for
students to study harder while others believe that teenagers’ progress
in studies does not depend on exams. Personally, I identify myself with
the first point of view.
To start with, I believe all of us want to enter a prestigious university
and have a well-paid and rewarding job in the future. So, students have
to study hard at school because without passing all their exams with
flying colours they will not achieve these goals. Moreover, teenagers
spend a great deal of time preparing for their exams as the results they
will have are considered to be the indicators of their knowledge and, of
course, no one wants to fail.
However, some people claim that everything depends on a person.
If some students do not want to study, even exams cannot encourage
them to change their mind, and vice versa. Those who are interested in
learning something new do it without any incentive.
Nevertheless, I cannot share this opinion. Even the laziest ones are
forced to study harder when they know that they must take exams which
will have an impact on all their future life, especially on their career.
And diligent pupils will try to do their best to achieve great results, too.
All in all, I firmly believe that exams inspire students to study harder.
It is a crucial moment in our life and we try to prepare for it as well
as possible.
disappear.
The issue of public libraries is quite controversial nowadays. Most
people claim that they are no longer necessary in a day of instant
technology and are likely to disappear in the near future. Still, others
think that public libraries will manage to survive. Personally, I disagree
with those who say that public libraries will be in demand.
In my opinion, a library can be compensated by the Internet. In the
first place, going to the library is time-consuming. One has to scroll the
contents of numerous books to find the material, whereas the Internet
helps get the information more quickly and without even leaving home.
Furthermore, a library holds a limited number of titles. Therefore, a
book might not be available and a person will have to wait until it is
returned.
On the other hand, it is argued that libraries contribute to the
research being done effectively. Silence and a study environment suggest
that one can concentrate on the work while the Internet tempts a person
with incoming messages and advertising pop-ups which take the focus
away from work.
Nevertheless, I am still convinced that the library is not as beneficial as
it is considered to be. The focus and attention depend on the personality
rather than the source of information. An individual can get distracted
even in a library if he or she is not serious about the work.
Taking everything into account, whilst there are strong arguments in
favour of public libraries, I firmly believe that they will struggle to keep
current in view of modern technology dominating our life.
Sometimes people face really controversial situations and they do not
know what to do. Some of them think it is a good idea to discuss their
problems in the family circle while others believe it is up to everyone
to decide what to do in this or that situation. Personally, I share the
former opinion.
I do believe that people should discuss all important decisions with
their family members. First of all, when you share your problems with
someone else, you are likely to get a useful piece of advice. It will help
you find a solution more quickly. Moreover, it is vitally important to
discuss issues which might affect your family members because you
cannot make such resolutions without their agreement. Finally, it is
better when you have a variety of solutions to choose from. You can
think over all pros and cons and decide on the best option.
However, some people claim that nobody can solve your problems
better than you yourself, so you should not discuss it with anybody else.
It is your own business. Sometimes bad advice can lead you astray.
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this point of view. You are not
expected to follow someone’s advice strictly. You should just listen to
others and then make your own conclusion. Sometimes you can be given
such extraordinary but still effective advice that you cannot find yourself.
All in all, I firmly believe that discussing your problems in the family
circle is a really good idea. Eventually, a problem shared is a problem
solved as the old English proverb says.

Nowadays teenagers almost cannot imagine their life without school
no matter what they think about it. Some people believe that school is an
essential part of students’ life while others are of the opinion it is not
so important. Personally, I identify myself with the first point of view.
To my mind, school is part and parcel of our life. First of all, we
should definitely take into account that we spend a great amount of time
at school or doing our homework, so it is one of the major points in our
activities. Furthermore, it plays a vital role in our nurture as we get a
great deal of knowledge at school and our personalities are also formed
there. Finally, the acquaintances we make at school usually stay with us
forever so it influences our future life.
However, some people claim that we should not overestimate the
role school plays in our life. They think that school curriculum is too
complicated but still does not teach any practical skills which students
need for work.
Nevertheless, I cannot share this opinion. School prepares children for
their later life and ones who pay necessary attention to school subjects
and extracurricular activities are usually more likely to be successful in
their coming life rather than those who miss classes and ignore teachers’
advice.
All in all, I firmly believe it goes without saying that school does play
a core role in teenagers’ life. It has a huge impact on their destiny, so
people usually cherish school memories forever.

Nowadays sport is gaining more and more popularity among humans
all over the world. Some people claim that sport brings people together
while others think that it divides them. Personally, I share the former
point of view.
To start with, sport cannot help but unite the members of the same
team. People learn to cooperate with each other, trust each other, be
responsible and tolerant, That is why it is a good idea for children to
play team sports so that they develop these positive traits of character
from the early age. Furthermore, sport brings people of all nationalities
together no matter what political situation is in this or that country.
Even wars are stopped during sports events. Needless to say, that
sportsmen make new acquaintances during such events.
However, some people argue that sport does not unite people but vice
versa. They think it breeds bitter strife among people. They are jealous
of each other’ s achievements, so they even might try to do harm to
each other.
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with this opinion. Such cases are single
and they depend on a person and his or her upbringing, so they can be
easily prevented. Eventually, people must understand that sport is just
a game and they should not pay too much attention to it.
All in all, I firmly believe that sport truly unites people. Of course,
there can be some problems but I am sure they can be easily dealt with.
Hardly anyone would opt for serving in the army unless the evasion
was punishable. Nevertheless, there are those who consider some time in
the army necessary not only for men but also for women. I do believe
they fail to take into account some indispensable aspects.
First and foremost, numerous scientific breakthroughs are yet to be
made. In my opinion, some people are far better at mental tasks than at
manual ones. Hence, the military service appears a waste of time for a
vast majority of people. Another compelling reason is that the modern
army tends to be condemned as profitless for people o f both genders
as the need for soldiers has dropped sharply recently. I do also believe
that the commonplace notion of army being a cruel and dangerous place
holds water.
On the other hand, however, there are those who claim that the army
fosters determination and will power. According to them, it is beneficial
for both mind and body and should be made compulsory for everyone.
Nevertheless, as far as I am concerned, these people have not yet
woken up to the fact that the army does provoke violence and cruelty.
To my mind, the best qualities of people should be revealed peacefully
and not in the military service.
All things considered, I reiterate my opinion that serving in the
army is not up to everyone. In my opinion, it’s high time it was made
voluntary.
36. It is better to see a film version rather than read a book.

In high speed frenzy of the modern world we have hardly any time for
relaxing, let alone reading. Hence, the overwhelming majority of people
tend to opt for a film version of a book instead of the original book itself.
If I was asked to choose, however, I would undoubtedly opt for a book.
In my opinion, the main objective of a piece of writing is to provide
the reader with a plunge into the world of the characters. When it comes
to films, impressive though special effects may be, they would not create
a better image than your imagination could. Another compelling reason
is that portrayals of characters may not live up to one’ s expectations and
thus spoil the average impression. For me personally, getting to know
the characters and the plot down the line seems the most pleasurable
part of a book. In the light of the above, I do prefer books to their
film versions.
On the other hand, some people claim that a well-directed film based
on a book is well worth watching. They do suppose it is an adequate
exchange for time and money.
Notwithstanding the totally obvious saving of time, I stick to my
point of view. As far as I am concerned, reading a book is more of an
entertainment than a chore. Given this fact, I do not see the point of
opting for the film just for the sake of saving time.
AH things considered, watching a film version is definitely not my cup
of tea, but tastes differ, so some people, understandably, prefer films.
37. People cannot do without cars these days.

In our fast-moving world people pay more attention to different means
of transport, especially to cars. Some of them believe it is an important
invention, which has changed the world, while others think the world
would be better without cars. In my opinion, cars play a significant role
in our everyday life for several reasons.
First of all, using cars helps us to save our time, as we do not have to
wait for the public transport. Moreover, you can create your own short
way to the place of destination. Secondly, using cars is more comfortable
than using public transport, as it is your own one, your property.
Furthermore, you can create your own design or even the atmosphere
in the passenger compartment, forgetting hustle and bustle outside.
On the other hand, some people believe cars make lots of trouble. They
create traffic jams, produce car fumes, which lead to the environmental
problems, such as air, water, noise pollution.
In my opinion, cars do harm to the ecology, however, without cars
we would have problems travelling to the countryside, for instance, out
of the city, or even with the delivery of goods. Nevertheless, there are
ecologieally-friendly cars, which cannot damage the ecosystem.
All in all, I do not think we could imagine our lives without cars.
Using them makes our living less difficult, more dynamic and convenient,
giving us the opportunity to save our time.
38. A good teacher should always be strict and exacting.

It goes without saying that a teacher plays a vital role in the
educational process. Some people think that teachers should be strict and
demanding in order to make this process more effective, while others
argue that it is better to be prepossessing to spark the interest in the
subject. As for me, I think a teacher should instil respect and a bit of
fear to the students. y
To begin with, it cannot be denied that discipline in the class has always
been part and parcel of teaching. It allows students to concentrate on
their work and pay attention to the teacher, without getting sidetracked
by secondary matters. Apart from this, students are bound to have a
responsible attitude towards their homework. Not only will they just
do it, but they also make efforts to do it properly for fear of being
punished.
On the other hand, some people claim that excessive severity can have
a negative impact on a student’s mind, leading to anxiety and stress.
Nevertheless, I disagree with this opinion, if a student does their
best, there will be no need for them to worry.
To sum up, I firmly believe that it is a good idea for a teacher to be
both demanding and prepossessing, but there is certainly no room for
back-slapping in the relationship between a student and a teacher.

These days lots of people live in blocks of flats and have neighbours.
Some people believe that there is no point in being on good terms with
them. Others argue that it is very important to get along with people
living next door. Personally, I do not think you should have conflicts
with your neighbours either.
To start with, your neighbours can help you in a difficult situation.
For example, if you are far away from your apartment, and something
will happen with it, they will always call and inform you about the
problem. Moreover, constant conflicts with the people living very near
to you will not do anything good for them or for you. Is not it better
to live in mutual understanding and agreement rather than argue and
live in the nervous atmosphere? I believe, the answer is obvious.
On the other hand, there are people who have a different point of
view. They believe that it is unnecessary to get on with your neighbours.
In this way, they will not pry into your personal life or. tell you about
their problems. Our life is full of other problems.
Nevertheless, I disagree with this opinion. Good neighbours will never
be interested in your personal life. Also, I think people living next door
should always try to help each other. Who will first call you if your
apartment is flooded? Of course, your neighbours will.
To sum up, it is highly important for me to get on with my neighbours.
I firmly believe that it is much better to live in friendship with them
than in constant conflicts.
40. It is better for animals to live in the zoo.

What is your opinion D
? o you agree with this statement?
These days, by gauging public opinion, we can conclude that the
question of whether it is better for animals to live in the zoo or not has
become a bone of contention in our society. Some people firmly believe
that living in their natural habitat has a detrimental effect on animals,
while others argue that cages in zoos are not the right places for species
which used to live in freedom. Personally, I identify myself with the
second statement. .
I think some animals may find it difficult to get accustomed to life
in cages on the grounds that it differs from the atmosphere of freedom.
For instance, food in zoos is delivered strictly on the rigid schedule and
it may cause physical disorder. Moreover, as far as I am concerned, zoo
workers often do not understand what animals are in desperate need of.
Hence, it appears to me that such superficial knowledge of endangered
species’ feelings can lead to their death and extinction.
On the other hand, many people claim that poaching is a threat that
even the strongest animals are not able to cope with and in this case
zoos offer a unique opportunity for animals to live safe and sound in
the restricted area.
Nonetheless, much though I respect such a point of view, I still
do think that poaching has declined in recent years because national
governments have succeeded in the fight with illegal hunting.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that we had better let animals
live in their natural habitat due to the fact that it is their unique way
of existence that we should not meddle in.

ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ
В заключение давайте ещё раз обратимся к советам и рекомендациям
по успешной подготовке к письменной части экзамена по английскому
языку - заданию 40.
СОВЕТЫ при подготовке к данному заданию

Письменное высказывание с элементами рассуждения, общие стра
тегии:
• строить высказывание в соответствии с предложенным планом;
• начинать введение следует с общего представления темы й пред
ложения, отображающего её проблемный характер;
• во введении перифразировать тему/проблему, данную в задании, не
повторяя её дословно;
• при планировании письменного высказывания сначала продумать
ключевые фразы каждого абзаца;
• делить текст на абзацы, которые отражают логическую и содержа
тельную структуру текста;
• каждый абзац должен быть написан соответствующим образом: ре
комендуется в первом предложении абзаца выразить его основную
мысль и далее её развивать, подкреплять примерами и аргумента
ми и т. д.;
• введение и заключение должны быть приблизительно одинаковы
по объёму;
• в основной части должно быть как минимум три абзаца, при
близительно одинаковые по размеру;
• общий объём основной части не должен быть меньше общего объ
ёма введения и заключения;
• особое внимание уделять средствам логической связи текста как
внутри предложений, так и между предложениями.
Особенно важно в письменном высказывании с элементами рассуж

дения «Моё мнение»:
• в основной части сначала высказать своё мнение и аргументиро
вать его (ВТОРОЙ АБЗАЦ), затем представить другие точки зрения
(ТРЕТИЙ АБЗАЦ) и дать аргументацию, почему вы с ними не со
гласны (ЧЕТВЁРТЫЙ АБЗАЦ);
• приводя контраргументы, отстаивая свою точку зрения, не выра
жать своё мнение теми же словами, что были употреблены ранее,
а использовать перифраз, синонимию;
• в заключительном абзаце (заключении) ещё раз указать на про
блемный характер темы; показать, что, хотя у вас есть своё мне
ние, вы способны видеть и другие точки зрения; тем не менее своя
кажется вам более убедительной.
Верьте в себя и в свои силы. 14 баллов за эссе (сочинение) — это

реальность.
У вас ВСЁ ПОЛУЧИТСЯ!
May success attend you!
