Draughts (or ‘checkers’ as the Americans call it) is one of the most popular games around the world. The rules are simple. Even young children have no problem working out how to play. The top players study moves in the same way chess players do but anyone can pick it up and have a go. Getting to a high standard takes a lot of hard work and practice but the basics are not particularly difficult.

Since 1997, when the game of Ultima Online became popular, many thousands of people have played all kinds of games online – and the numbers are still increasing rapidly. Every year, more and more people discover the pleasures of playing over the internet and the next generation of games consoles are being designed with that in mind. There seems to be no sign that this explosion in online games will stop any time soon.

It has been called the greatest phenomenon in the history of games, but when Trivial Pursuit was created by two friends in 1981, few people had any idea what a hit it would be. It was a quiz game and none of the games companies expected it to do well, until an American company became interested in it. Many millions of Trivial Pursuit games have been sold since then in 19 languages and 33 different countries.

Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian was chess world champion from 1963 to 1969. He dominated the game during those years and almost never lost. He was known as a player who was strong in defence and very few players got the better of him. In fact, his defensive play was so good that he was known as ‘Iron Tigran’. When he did lose, it was big news in Moscow chess circles.

It seems that there have been some big changes in the British playground. Twenty years ago, traditional games were played in every school across the country during the break. These days, they are quickly being replaced by hand-held games consoles and other electronic games. Before long, there is a danger that traditional games could die out. Once they are forgotten, it may be impossible to bring these enjoyable pastimes back to the playground.

Although I left university with a good degree, I suddenly found that it was actually quite hard to find a job. After being unemployed for a few months, I realised I had to take the first thing that came along or I’d be in serious financial difficulties. And so, for six very long months, I became a market research telephone interviewer.

I knew it wasn’t the best company in the world when they told me that I’d have to undergo three days of training before starting work, and that I wouldn’t get paid for any of it. Still, I knew that the hourly rate when I actually did start full time would be good. So, I thought of the money I’d earn and put up with three days of unpaid training. Whatever those three days taught me, I wasn’t prepared for the way I would be treated by the supervisors.

It was worse than being at school. There were about twenty interviewers like myself, each sitting in a small, dark booth with an ancient computer and a dirty telephone. The booths were around the walls of the fifth floor of a concrete office block, and the supervisors sat in the middle of the room, listening to all of our telephone interviews. We weren’t allowed to talk to each other, and if we took more than about two seconds from ending one phone call and starting another, they would shout at us to hurry up and get on with our jobs. We even had to ask permission to go to the toilet. I was amazed how slowly the day went.

It wouldn’t have been so bad if what we were doing had been useful. But it wasn’t. Most of our interviews were for a major telecommunications company. We’d have to ring up businesses and ask them things like, ‘Is your telecoms budget more than three million pounds a year?’ The chances are we’d get the reply, ‘Oh, I don’t think so. I’ll ask my husband. This is a corner shop. We’ve only got one phone.’ And so the day went on.

The most frightening aspect of the job was that I was actually quite good at it. ‘Oh no!’ I thought. ‘Maybe I’m destined to be a market researcher for the rest of my life.’ My boss certainly seemed to think so. One day – during a break, of course – she ordered me into her office. ‘Simon,’ she said, ‘I’m promoting you. From tomorrow, you’re off telecoms and onto credit card complaints. I’m sure you can handle it. There’s no extra pay, but it is a very responsible position.’

Three weeks later I quit. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Chekhov’s works have had a great influence on 20th century literature in many ways, particularly in terms of plot and narrative structure, and character .

Even today, more than a hundred years after his , Chekhov’s stories are extremely popular all over the world.

Ruth knocked on the door. Dr Johansson opened it and led her excitedly inside. She had called him the day before to (16) ______ a b c d _______ a few facts for an article she was writing for the newspaper – Dr Johansson was a leading expert in physics – and he had invited her to go and see his latest experiment.

However, he had insisted (18) ______ a b c d ______ seeing her, saying that she wouldn’t regret it. As they walked into the laboratory, Ruth wondered exactly what she was letting herself in for.

‘The transportation of a living creature!’ Dr Johansson said triumphantly, and he pressed a final button. There was a spark of electricity in the air. He opened the box and the cat had disappeared.
‘You…you’ve killed it!’ Ruth shouted. Dr Johansson smiled and pointed to the black box next to her. He (20) ______ a b c d ______ her to look inside. She slowly lifted the lid. The cat looked up at her, then closed its eyes and settled down for a nap.

Давно уже ничего не писала на блог! Вернее у себя то я пишу, причем несколько статей уже в процессе, но никак не могу их полностью закончить. Всё таки не хватает мне 24 часа в сутки!!! Ну никак!

Небольшие новости или почему так долго не писала?

Вообще, не думала, что в декретном отпуске буду так много работать. В смысле репетиторствовать. Думала, буду как все! Сидеть в декрете, гулять с малышкой, заниматься бытом, ну и парочку занятий в неделю, чтобы уж совсем не забыть свои навыки. Какой там!

Моя малышка растёт, а она чем больше становится, тем больше внимания требует. Только и успеваю смотреть, как куда-нибудь не заползла или не упала. Все мои ящички уже начала открывать. Пора обезопаситься!

Пора закрывать все мои ящики!!! Алиске всё интересно!

Ну и занятий у меня столько, что можно и не работать на основной работе! Сразу предвещаю вопросы, кто сидит с моей Алиской пока у меня занятия? Конечно же моя мама!

В соседней комнате они играют или спят, пока её мамочка трудится. Я частенько выхожу из комнаты, чтобы удостовериться всё ли в порядке, ничего не нужно ли. Вообщем, пока всех устраивает такое положение.

Перейдём к главному или почему так много внимания к разделу «Лексика и грамматика»?

Когда к вам приходит ученик, которому нужно сдавать ЕГЭ, мы всегда прощупываем почву. Сейчас речь будет идти именно о грамматическом разделе. Ко мне приходят совершенно разные ученики и, соответственно, у всех разный уровень подготовленности.

С Эльвирой на занятии. Штудируем отдельно раздел Лексика и грамматика

Кто-то из учеников говорит, что он хорошо владеет темами и его просто надо натаскать, кто-то признается, что лучше пройти весь курс сначала. Так вот именно последние ученики нас больше всего интересуют!

Скачайте тот файл с грамматическими темами и рассчитайте примерно, сколько часов или занятий у вас уйдёт на этот экспресс грамматический курс. У меня обычно выходит не больше полугода при регулярных занятий один раз в неделю по 1,5 часа. Чаще занимается ученик — значит быстрее пройдёте.

Оформляем темы в тетрадки!

И вот так, потихонечку, мы берем тему за темой (необязательно строго по списку, иногда меняем местами темы), я пишу в тетрадке обычно своей рукой, часто использую два цвета ручек (красный и синий), цветные маркеры.

Часто копирую материал из New Round-Up, особенно когда много писать некогда или когда хочется, чтобы материал был компактно умещён в тетрадке (обычно это таблицы).

Мой быстрый канцелярский набор для оформления тем в ученических тетрадках

Поэтому в моём арсенале всегда есть клей-карандаш, ножницы. Я быстренько через принтер вывожу материал, вырезаю, а ученики мне помогают приклеить материал в их тетради.

Особенно их забавляет клеить цветными клеями (синий, розовый, зеленый). Они делают это с удовольствием и немного разряжают атмосферу разговорами пока клеют.

Когда материал у них в тетрадях, мы его тщательно разбираем, где-то подписываем перевод, где то уточнения. И потом начинаем уже делать упражнения. Кто читает мой блог регулярно, тот уже в курсе, какие обычно книги и ресурсы я использую.

Часто беру упражнения и этих книг. Несмотря на то, что написано 7-8 класс, задания там есть нелегкие

В течение работы я использовала так много пособий, перебрала всевозможные грамматические упражнения, но, к сожалению, меня не устраивает ни одна книга целиком. Что-то возьму из одной книги, что-то из другой.

Люблю всё то, что делает Музланова. Слева — одно из новых её пособий, включая, кстати, раздел по устной части!

Иногда хочется побольше упражнений на сравнение конструкции to be going to и Future Simple, но часто представлены только на Future Simple, Future Continuous или Present Simple и Future Simple.

Пару слов о моём грамматическом сборнике упражнений!

Вообщем, как я и планировала, легче составить свой сборник и написать только те упражнения, которые я из года в год использую и люблю давать своим ученикам.

Этот процесс уже начался и скоро вы увидете первую часть моего сборника. В первой части будут темы Present Simple, Present Continuous и они же в сравнении (около 65 упражнений получилось). Сборник составлен, сейчас он проходит корректировку.

В будущем хочу собрать все темы, вернее упражнения, чтобы потом просто распечатать как книгу и не копировать по сотни раз одно и то же. Думаю, сделаю вам подарок к Новому Году. По крайней мере постараюсь очень!

P.S. Как и обещала, сборник готов! И вы его можете скачать, прочитав и найти в !

Задания B4-B10 (памятка ученикам)

Какие могут быть советы по данным заданиям? Что обычно я говорю своим ученикам и даю им в качестве памятки.

  • Прежде чем выполнять задания B4-B10, заполняя пропуски, нужно прочитать обязательно весь рассказ или текст целиком, чтобы понять содержание.
  • Подсказка на выбор правильной грамматической формы слова необязательно находится в самом предложении, а может быть, например, в предыдущем предложении.
  • Если требуется поставить глагол в нужную форму, прежде всего, определи, в каком залоге (активном или пассивном) стоит сказуемое. (этот момент очень важен, так как дети часто не видят этого, поэтому я постоянно акцентирую на это внимание!)
  • При определении временной формы глагола обрати внимание на ключевые слова (или как я их называю «слова-подсказки»). Поищи в предложении те слова, которые помогут определить нужное время. Если их нет, то прочитай предыдущее предложение и посмотри, в каком времени стоит глагол. Обычно в тексте все предложения взаимосвязаны.
  • Часто в задании требуется образовать от глагола причастие (третья форма глагола) или герундий (к глаголу прибавляется окончание -ing). Определи, какое это причастие — активное (герундий) или пассивное (третья форма глагола).
  • Если в задании стоит числительное, например, two, то скорее всего, требуется образовать порядковое числительное например, second. Вспомни правила их написания!
  • Если необходимо преобразовать местоимение, определи, какая форма требуется, например стоит местоимение We. Подумай, что здесь может быть: our (за ним сразу стоит существительное), us, ourselves или ours (без существительного). Если речь идёт об указательном местоимении, то посмотри какое может быть число ед. или мн.
  • Если нужно преобразовать существительное, то здесь нужно вспомнить правила образования множественного числа существительных. Часто бывают именно исключения. Повтори их!
  • Если нужно преобразовать прилагательное, то здесь речь идёт о степенях сравнения. Это либо сравнительная, либо превосходная. Вспомни правила образования степеней сравнения прилагательных!

Вот такие советы я обычно даю своим детишкам. Именно задания данного типа я довожу до автоматизма и ученики с лёгкостью их выполняют. Рекомендуемое время на этот тип заданий — 10 минут. Но натасканные ученики справляются и за 5 минут!

Тренируем грамматический раздел по этим книгам

Задания B11-B16 (Словообразование) Задания А22-А28 (Повышенный уровень)

Это задания повышенного уровня и направлены на распознавание и употребление изученных лексических единиц с акцентом на их лексическую сочетаемость. Составлены они в виде теста с множественным выбором.

Многим ученикам кажется такой тип заданий неисполнимым. В основном, что не знают, делают наугад, авось попадут.

Конечно, тут нужно иметь богатый словарный запас, ведь именно здесь проверяются фразовые глаголы, предлоги, устойчивые словосочетания, а также слова, близкие по форме или по значению, которые легко спутать (например, make и do).

Очень хорошее пособие! Отлично тренирует по фразовым глаголам, словам похожими по форме или значению, предлогам и т.д

  • Прочитай полностью текст, не обращая внимание на пропуски, чтобы понять его основное содержание, и подумай, какое слово могло бы подойти. Даже если ты не сможешь вспомнить подходящее слово, оно начнёт «вертеться у тебя на языке», и ты сразу узнаешь его, когда почитаешь предполагаемые ответы.
  • При выборе ответа обрат внимание на слова, прилегающие к пропуску, так как очень часто именно они определяют правильный ответ. Часто выбор правильного ответа может зависеть от предлога, который стоит сразу после пропуска.
  • Если ты не знаешь, какой ответ выбрать, попробуй сначала исключить варианты, которые точно не подходят.
  • Если уж ты всё-таки не можешь определить правильный ответ, положись на свою интуицию и попытайся отгадать, но ни в коем случае не оставляй пустую клетку в бланке.
Напоследок

Почему такое пристальное внимание я уделяю этому разделу?

А все потому, что очень многое в данном разделе зависит от ученика. Если разделы Аудирование или Чтение непредсказуемые, то есть мы заранее не можем знать, какой текст попадётся или какое произношение будет у говорящего, то от раздела Лексика и Грамматика мы ожидаем то, что учили всё это время.

И тут нужно постараться сделать всё возможное, зависящее от нас. Ведь грамматика не бесконечна, её можно изучить и очень даже хорошо преуспеть в ней. Единственное, что может нас страшить, так это лексика. Вот с ней работать и работать!!!

P. S. Увеличить словарный запас и потренировать грамматику можно также не только по учебникам и пособиям. Всегда интересно делать это интерактивно. А уж ученики просто обожают делать задания на компьютере!

Сама я активно использую в своей работе как в школе, так и на индивидуальных занятиях. Более подробно об этих курсах, я писала в своих обзорах и .

Не упустите такую возможность-приобрести два диска по цене одного! Акция действительна до 7 декабря!!!

Экзамен ЕГЭ проверяет:

  • грамматические навыки базового уровня;
  • навыки словообразования;
  • лексический запас.

Как подготовиться к лексико-грамматической части ЕГЭ?

  • решить как можно больше упражнений по грамматике ;
  • вспомнить или освоить навык словообразования;
  • пройти тестовые варианты ЕГЭ и понять, где именно встречаются ошибки, над которыми нужно работать.

Прочитайте приведенные ниже тексты. Преобразуйте, если необходимо, слова, чтобы они грамматически соответствовали содержанию текстов. Заполните пропуски полученными словами.

Для того чтобы понять, в какой форме необходимо использовать глагол be , нужно посмотреть на предложение с пропуском. Так, это предложение написано в прошедшем времени (phoned ). Соответственно, нам нужно поставить глагол be в Past Simple в отрицании. Для местоимения she эта форма - wasn’ t .

Глагол build («строить ») - неправильный. Его вторая и третья формы - built, built. В данном предложении важно понять, стена ли кого-то строила или ее строили. Логично, что строили стену. Это значит, что здесь необходимо употребить пассивный залог во времени Past Simple . Таким образом, правильным ответом будет was built , так как пассивный залог (Passive Voice ) - это глагол be в нужной форме (в зависимости от времени) и третья форма смыслового глагола (Participle II/ V 3 ).

Глагол become («становиться ») - неправильный. Его вторая и третья формы - became, become. Для того чтобы понять, какую форму этого глагола необходимо использовать в данном предложении, нужно выяснить, нет ли в предложении «сигнальных» слов. Такое слово есть - since , и оно указывает на Present Perfect . Правильным ответом будет форма has become .

Слово nature («природа ») является существительным . После пропуска также стоит существительное - beauty («красота »), то есть на месте пропуска должно стоять некое определение. Роль определения в предложении обычно играет прилагательное, и от слова nature прилагательным будет natural .

Most of the land in National Parks is privately owned, but administered by an independent National Park Authority which works to balance the expectations of __________ with the need to conserve these open spaces for future generations.

visit

Слово visit («посещать ») - это глагол . Посмотрев на слова перед пропуском - the expectations of ожидания кого-то/чего-то ») - можно понять, что нам необходимо существительное - «ожидания посетителей » (visitors ). На то, что существительное должно стоять во множественном числе , указывает отсутствие неопределенного артикля перед пропуском.

В данном предложении пропущено подлежащее, то есть из существительного science («наука ») необходимо образовать другое существительное, способное исполнить роль этого подлежащего. Более того, новое существительное должно стоять во множественном числе , так как в сказуемое входит глагол be в форме множественного числа - are . Новым существительным будет слово scientists - «ученые ».

  • строго следуйте инструкции и внимательно читайте задание ;
  • прежде чем заполнить пропуск, внимательно прочитайте предложение и найдите «сигнальные» слова , которые подскажут вам, в какое время необходимо поставить глагол или какая часть речи требуется;
  • не оставляйте пропуски незаполненными , даже если вы не знаете правильный ответ;
  • пишите четко и аккуратно .

    Before the last war, officers in the navy had a lot more freedom when their ship was in port than they have nowadays. They were expected to lead a busy social life, and to take an active part in sport ashore. It was therefore rather difficult for them to find time to do all their other duties.

    Usually, all the officers in a ship used to have a regular meeting together once a week to receive orders from their captain, make reports and discuss any business that had to be discussed, such as who should represent the ship in the next football match.

    One such meeting was being held on board a ship one day, and after the regular business had been completed, the time came to discuss the date of the next meeting. Friday of the next week was suggested, and so was Monday of the week after, but both of them interfered with somebody"s arrangements for the weekend, and in the end it was generally agreed that the meeting should be held on Wednesday, as this would be the least likely day to inter fere with anybody"s convenience, since it was right in the middle of the week.

    As the officers were leaving, however, one of them was heard to say, "Wednesday is the worst day, because it interferes with two weekends!"

    Mr. and Mrs. Williams had always spent their summer holidays in England in the past, in a small boarding-house at the seaside. One year, however, Mr. Williams __________ a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to Rome and stay at a really good hotel while they went around and __________ the sights of that famous city.

    They __________ to Rome, and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in the boarding-houses they __________ in the past, no meals were served after seven o"clock in the evening. They were therefore surprised when the clerk who __________ them in the hall of the hotel asked them whether they __________ dinner there that night.

    "________you still ________ dinner then?" asked Mrs. Williams.

    Mr. and Mrs. Williams had always spent their summer holidays in England in the past, in a small boarding-house at the seaside. One year, however, Mr. Williams made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to Rome and stay at a really good hotel while they went around and saw the sights of that famous city.

    They flew to Rome, and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in the boarding-houses they had been used to in the past, no meals were served after seven o"clock in the evening. They were therefore surprised when the clerk who received them in the hall of the hotel asked them whether they would be taking dinner there that night.

    "Are you still serving dinner then?" asked Mrs. Williams.

    "Yes, certainly, madam," answered the clerk. "We serve it until half past nine."

    "What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr. Williams.

    "Well, sir," answered the clerk, "we serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine."

    "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of Rome!" said Mrs Williams in a disappointed voice.

    A certain poet had written a play, and arrangements were being made to perform it.

    "That"s it!" he shouted excitedly to the electricians behind the stage. "That"s just right! Keep it exactly like that!"

    "I"m sorry, sir," answered the chief electrician, "but we can"t keep it like this."
