AND I'M ON A BUDGET! Thank you very much for the work done and such hard work! I’ve already recommended Alexey to my friends, now I’m sharing it with you!

Svetlana is an excellent English teacher. Our classes with her began in 2010. Over the years, she has practically become a member of our family. Lessons Expand daughters with Svetlana’s English skills led to the fact that she became bored with studying at a school with in-depth study of the English language due to more low level classmates, and we decided to transfer the child to a special school for French, while they continued to study English only individually. The second language very easily combined with the first, and the results are very pleasing to us: first places in both languages ​​among 14 parallel classes. Svetlana doesn’t just teach children a language, she does an excellent job with two more important tasks: instills a love of language and removes the language barrier. We travel a lot, and the children are not afraid to communicate in English with other children and even adults. I cannot help but note the perfect pronunciation that the teacher has. This is another advantage that distinguishes Svetlana from most foreign language teachers. We intend to continue training and would be happy to recommend it to others. All reviews (23)

How to write a letter to a friend in English:

  1. Letter to a loved one written in an informal style.
  2. Design of the "header". In the upper right corner you need to write the address: first the city, then the country of residence. But it is better not to indicate the street name and house number, since even if the address does not exist, it can be interpreted as a disclosure of secret information.
  3. In the same corner, below the address, skipping one line, you need to write the date.
  4. Then on the left is written an informal address to the addressee: Dear Nil/Joe (the name will be indicated in the task). Keep in mind that in this case it is not acceptable to write Hello. Don't forget to add a comma after the address. Continuation of the letter - from a new line.
  5. Each paragraph, according to the rules, begins with a red line. You should start your letter by expressing gratitude to your friend for the message he received (Thanks a lot for your last letter). It wouldn’t hurt to apologize for the long answer (Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long). It would be a good move if you mention some information from the message you received.
  6. Then the main part (second and third paragraphs) is written. In the second part you need to answer the questions received in the letter, and in the third part you need to ask questions to your friend.
  7. The fourth paragraph is the final one, it is necessary to notify the recipient about the end of the message (I "ve got to go now!). It would be good form if you offer to keep in touch (Take care and keep in touch!).
  8. At the end you need to write the standard cliche - Best wishes, All the best(a comma must be included) or others. Under this phrase on the next line you need to write your name.

How to write an essay on the Unified State Exam in English:

The essay is also written in neutral style and contains five paragraphs:

  1. Introduction: the topic-problem is formulated and the existence of two opposing points of view is immediately indicated.
  2. Own opinion: express your own point of view on this issue and give 2-3 arguments in its defense.
  3. Opposing Opinions: Opposing points of view are presented and arguments are given to support them.
  4. Expressing disagreement: you need to explain the reason for disagreement with opposing opinions, and defend your point of view without using arguments from the second paragraph.
  5. Conclusion: a conclusion is written on the question posed.

Tutor tips:

  1. It is strongly recommended not to exceed the required volume. Only 10% error is acceptable, that is, for a letter it is permissible to write from 90 to 154 words, and for an essay - from 180 to 275 lexemes. If a student writes even one word less, he will not receive a single point for the task. If the volume is exceeded, the examiner will count the specified limit from the entire text and will evaluate only it, while the examiner will deduct points for the fact that the work is not completed, the topic is not disclosed or conclusions are not written.
  2. You should not write paragraphs containing only one sentence. Every thought must be revealed and argued. You can use such speech constructions as I believe, In my opinion, etc.
  3. Watch your writing style: never use colloquial expressions like Wish me luck! or Guess what?, and in an essay it is better not to write informal well, cause and slang expressions.
  4. It is recommended to use it in written works linking words, since they add logic to the text, allow you to contrast either two parts of a sentence or complement one of them.

Principles of passing oral speech

This is the shortest part of the exam, which is taken on another day, and lasts only 15 minutes, during which the student must complete four tasks.

The peculiarity of this part of the test is that the graduate performs tasks in front of a computer, on the screen of which a timer is turned on, and all answers are recorded through a microphone. At the same time, the examiner in the audience monitors the progress of testing.

Tutor tips:

  1. To prepare for the first assignment, you should work on texts on different topics, reading them with expression: you must observe all pauses, natural intonation, logical stress. It is also important to meet the allotted time, but there is no need to rush too much.
  2. To successfully complete the second part of the oral exam, you need to practice the ability to ask questions to a variety of texts. When writing questions, do not forget to use auxiliary verbs and put them in the correct form, agreeing with the noun.
  3. In 2018, at the Unified State Exam, the third task will ask you to describe a photograph to a friend. Therefore, when composing text, you need to use appeal. At the beginning of the description, you need to indicate which photo you chose (I"ve chosen photo number...). It is also important to answer ALL questions asked in the task, indicate where and when. Do not forget about the introductory phrase (I"d like to show you a picture from my photo album./Would you like to have a look at my picture?) and the final cliche (I hope you liked my picture./That"s all for now.).
  4. When performing the fourth task, the emphasis should be on comparing images, and not on their descriptive characteristics. When comparing pictures, you need to use such common cliches as In comparison to the first picture, this one... The first picture depicts... whereas/while the second picture depicts..., The main difference is that... etc.

This is what the Unified State Exam in English will look like in 2018 - the test is not easy, but you can successfully pass it if you prepare for it in advance, including using Internet resources.
