Выпускникам подсунули на ВНО кембриджский тест Advanced!
В Интернете нашлись задания, которые были включены в тестирование по английскому языку. Они были взяты из тестов для Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE), которые сдают для работы или учебы в англоязычных странах. Этот сертификат признан во всем мире и квалифицирует своего обладателя как человека, уровень знаний английского у которого приравнивается практически к носителю языка.
- Если специально не готовится к этим тестам, то сдатьих очень сложно, - говорит Светлана Владимировна Логвинова, педагог с многолетним стажем, переводчик. - Они своеобразны и требуют особого уровня подготовки, весьма высокого.
Можно сравнить задания, которые сдавали украинские выпускники с теми, которые сдавались в прошлых годах для получения этого сертификата.
Задание №2 на экзамене по английскому языку для выпускников общеобразовательных школ выглядит точно так же, как и задание для тех, кто хочет учится в иностранном университете.
10 Ways to Improve Your Memory
Вариант теста Внешнего независимого оценивания
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory. However, it does mean taking responsibility and making an effort. Here are the experts’ top tips.
1. We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it consciously. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions – the more the better.
2. Repeating things is the best way to remember things for a short time, e.g. remembering a phone number for a few seconds. ‘Chunking’ or grouping numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919318483. But look at them in ‘chunks’, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1931 8483.
3. Another way to make something more memorable is to think about something visual associated with it. Design a mental picture and the stranger the picture the better you will remember it! If an English person studying Spanish wanted to remember the Spanish word for duck, ‘pato’, he/she could associate it with the English verb ‘to pat’ and imagine a picture of someone patting a duck on the head.
