SPEAKING Task 2: Choose the question and be ready to answer it after the teacher starts the conversation. You should add your ideas to the class discussion. Teacher organizes a Socratic seminar which helps teacher to assess learners while they are speaking on the topic 'Natural Disasters'. Learners are sitting in a circle and answering the question which teacher prepared and cut down beforehand. These are some rules to this task: 1. Ask questions if you do not understand what someone has said 2. You do not need to raise your hand to speak. 3. Pay attention to your "airtime". 4. Don't interrupt. 5. Don't put down the ideas of another learner. Example: What are the safety rules for an earthquake emergency? Learner's possible answer: Don't panic.Get under a table or a desk. Check for injuries.Call emergency services to get help for injured persons. Leave the room. Exit the building.Once outside, move to the evacuation assembly point. Wait for further instructions. What can be done to prevent natural disasters? What are possible preventive measures? How can we help victims of a natural disaster? What problems do people have after a natural disaster? Could the Internet be helpful in case of a disaster? In what way? Have you ever seen a natural disaster movie? In your opinion, what's the worst natural disaster? Why?

When you know the dates of your exams, make a study __timetable___ and put it up on your wall at home. Then get started - this is often the most difficult part. Use all your time. If you arrive home from school half an hour before supper, use that time for _study_. In a week, you will do two and a half hours - then you can have an evening free for_relaxation__. If you spend all night on one _subject_ you will get bored. Look at old exam _papers_ and try to answer the questions. Make sure you know what _equipment_ you need for the exams, eg,pens, pencils, etc.

I love spring. It is a wonderful season.
Spring comes and nature awakens from its winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter.
The ground is covered with fresh green grass and the first spring flowers. How lovely the white snowdrops are! There are new leaves and blossoms on the trees.
The birds begin to sing and build their nests. The air is fresh and the sun shines brightly.
The days are warm and everything is full of life and joy. Everybody feels younger and stronger.
Many people like spring more than other seasons. It is very pleasant to watch how the nature awakens from the winter sleep.
In spring we can go to the country and have a walk in the woods or by the river, play ball-games, lie in the sun and even have a swim if the water is warm enough.
That is why I like spring more than any other season of the year.

Перевод:
Я люблю весну. Это прекрасное время года.
Весна приходит и природа просыпается от зимней спячки. Дни становятся длиннее, а ночи становятся короче.
Земля покрыта свежей зеленой травой и появляются первые весенние цветы. Какая прелесть белые подснежники! Появляются новые листья и цветы на деревьях.
Птицы начинают петь и строить свои гнезда. Воздух свеж, и ярко светит солнце.
Дни теплые и все полно жизни и радости. Каждый чувствует себя моложе и сильнее.
Многие люди любят весну больше, чем другие времена года. Очень приятно наблюдать, как природа просыпается от зимнего сна. 
Весной мы можем поехать за город и прогулятся в лесу или по берегу реки, играть в игры с мячом, полежать на солнце и даже поплавать, если вода достаточно теплая.
Вот почему я люблю весну больше, чем любое другое время года.
