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.
«Phubbing» is a term created to describe people with the habit of constantly using their smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices no matter where they are. Wherever they go and whether they are alone or hanging out with friends, the smartphone addicts always keep their heads down looking at their electronic devices.
Chatting with people, watching videos, playing games, browsing websites… they do all this stuff through social networks or instant messaging but hardly communicate with people face-to-face. They spend most of their time with their eyes glued on the screens of the electronic devices in their hands, which results in a peculiar addiction phenomenon and can severely disrupt their present-moment, in-person relationships.
Task 2
Study the advertisement.
You are considering bringing your pet to a veterinarian for a wellness exam and now you’d like to get more information. In 1.5 minutes you are to ask four direct questions to find out about the following:
- how much it costs

You have 20 seconds to ask each question.
Task 3
You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2–3 sentences). Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Добрый вечер, почему примерные ответы отсутствуют после 3го варианта?
Здравствуйте! Спасибо, что пользуетесь нашими тренировочными вариантами. Suggested answers есть только к первым двум вариантам. К сожалению, мы не располагаем ресурсами, чтобы предложить примерные ответы к каждому варианту — банк уже огромный.
Завтра у меня экзамен. Спасибо большое за ваши варианты, а также за очень удобный таймер. Ни на одном сайте я такого не видела. Удачи всем выпускникам!)
