keep track of time;
do not write more than necessary, because this may indicate that you have written too much;

The graduate is given 80 minutes to write and check 2 written papers. Task 1: Text is given short letter from a friend asking questions. The student needs to read it and write a response letter: answer the friend's questions and ask questions to him. Recommended run time: no more than 20 minutes. Volume: 100-140 words. Maximum points: 6 points.

A letter to a friend is written in an informal style. The structure of this work is as follows:

1. We make out the "cap"

In the upper right corner we write the address: on the top line we indicate the city, below it - the country of residence. It is not necessary to write the street and house number: this can be regarded as the disclosure of confidential information, even if the address is fictitious.

After the address, skip 1 line and write the date of writing the letter in the same upper right corner. Further, as usual, on the left we write an informal appeal: Dear Tom / Jim (name will be given in the task). Hello is not allowed here.

After the appeal, put a comma and continue to write the text of the letter from a new line.

2. Text of the letter

We start writing each paragraph with a red line. In the first paragraph, you need to thank your friend for the letter you received (Thanks a lot for your last letter) and apologize that you did not write earlier (Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long).

You can also mention some fact from the received letter. What follows is the body of the letter, including the second and third paragraphs. In the second, you write answers to all the questions asked of you, in the third, you ask your questions to a friend.

In the fourth paragraph, you need to sum up - say that you are finishing the letter (I've got to go now! It's time for my favorite TV show), and offer to keep in touch (Take care and keep in touch!).

3. End of letter

At the end, you need to write a final cliche phrase, after which a comma is always placed: All the best, Best wishes, etc. On the next line, under this phrase, you indicate your name.

Task 2: A statement (usually debatable) is given.

The graduate writes an essay in which he discusses this topic, expresses his point of view, and also gives the opposite opinion and explains why he does not agree with it.

The essay is written in a neutral style and consists of 5 paragraphs:

Introduction: we formulate the topic-problem and immediately indicate that there are two opposing points of view.
Your opinion: we express our point of view (one) on this issue and give 2-3 arguments that confirm it.
Contrasting opinions: we write 1-2 opposite points of view and give arguments in favor of their existence.
We express disagreement: we explain why we do not agree with the above points of view, and we give arguments in defense of our own opinion. However, they should not repeat the arguments from paragraph 2.
Conclusion: we draw a conclusion on this topic, indicate that there are different points of view, and finally confirm our point of view.

Vocabulary and grammar

if you need to insert a word, try to determine in what number and in what form it should be;
if you do not know the correct answer, do not leave gaps anyway, look for the answer by the opposite method;
check spelling.

This USE section in English 2018 tests knowledge of grammatical structures and vocabulary graduate. The student is given 40 minutes to complete it. Let's see what the student has to do.

The student submits assignments in front of the computer, his answers are recorded using a headset, and the countdown is shown on the screen. At the same time, there is an organizer in the audience who monitors the course of the exam.

When developing CIM, the following are also taken into account:

3. Approaches to the selection of content, the development of the structure of the KIM USE

The purpose of the unified state exam in a foreign language is to determine the level of foreign language communicative competence of the examinee. The main attention is paid to speech competence, i.e. communication skills in different types of speech activity: listening, reading, writing, as well as language competence, i.e. language knowledge and skills. Sociocultural knowledge and skills are tested indirectly in the sections "Listening", "Reading" and are one of the objects of measurement in the section "Writing"; compensatory skills are checked indirectly in the "Writing" section.

Consequently, KIM USE in foreign languages contains the sections "Listening", "Reading", "Grammar and Vocabulary" and "Writing". At the same time, it should be borne in mind that, although the sections “Listening”, “Reading” and “Writing” have skills in the corresponding types of speech activity as objects of control, these skills are provided with the necessary level of development of the language competence of the examinees. Successful completion of tasks for the control of receptive types of speech activity is ensured by knowledge of lexical units, morphological forms and syntactic constructions and skills of their recognition/recognition. The tasks of the "Writing" section require from the examinee, in addition to this knowledge, the skills of operating with lexical units and grammatical structures in a communicatively meaningful context. Spelling skills are the object of control in tasks B4-B16 of the "Grammar and Vocabulary" section, as well as tasks C1, C2 of the "Writing" section.

4. The structure of KIM USE

The examination paper contains the sections "Listening", "Reading", "Grammar and Vocabulary" and "Writing".

To differentiate examinees by the levels of foreign language proficiency within the limits formulated in the Federal component of the state standard of general education in foreign languages, all sections are included along with tasks basic level tasks of higher difficulty levels.

The level of difficulty of tasks is determined by the levels of complexity of the language material and the skills being tested, as well as the type of task.
The work on a foreign language includes 28 tasks with a choice of answers from three or four proposed, 16 tasks of an open type with a short answer, including tasks for establishing correspondence, and 2 tasks of an open type with a detailed answer.

The basic, advanced and high levels of complexity of the USE assignments correlate with the levels of foreign language proficiency defined in the documents of the Council of Europe 1 as follows:

Basic level - A2+ 2
Advanced level - B1
High level - B2

1 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment. MSLU, 2003.

2 Since the entire possible range of levels of foreign language proficiency is represented in the document of the Council of Europe by only six levels, it is obvious that certain sublevels can be distinguished within each of them. The designation of the basic level of the Unified State Examination as A2+ means that from the description of the level A2 for preparing tasks of the basic level, developers are guided by descriptors that are closer to level B1, and not to level A1.

Many graduates who plan to take in 2018 USE year in English, have a huge number of questions related to scores, tasks, and time to complete them.

The USE in English will be a graduation school exam, the writing of which is available to everyone. It is the USE indicators that will act as a state exam when entering a university. On the this moment it is not necessary to pass it, but if after graduation you want to enter a specialized university, then you will have to pass it.

In its structure, the USE in English is very similar to international exam FCE, which is held in most European countries, to determine the level of formation of the knowledge base in the subject. For this passage, you must get the mark Upper-Intermediate (above average), which is not an easy task.

It is recommended to start preparing for the exam from the beginning of the 10th grade. Only in this way, gradually repeating all the material covered, the student will be able to acquire the knowledge in which there was a gap, and fully prepare for the exam in English in 2018. Of course, this process may take less time, but only if the student has a high level of knowledge, and is constantly trying to achieve perfection.

The exam consists of two parts: oral and written, which are held in different days. First, graduates of 2017-2018 take a written block, which includes listening, reading, writing, speaking, as well as checking grammar and vocabulary. In total, you need to do 40 tasks, in 3 hours. 80- maximum score which can be obtained.

The second block - oral - is given at the request of the student, and is aimed at improving the already finished result. It takes only 15 minutes to complete it, during which you need to solve 4 additional tasks. Thus, you can improve your English score by 20 points.

Any teacher will insist on attending both parts of the exam, because even if the second part fails, the student will not worsen his result for the written block, but he will have a chance to improve it.

There will be no changes in the exam in English in 2018 so there is no reason to worry.

How is the exam

The USE in English has a very specific structure, KIM makes it possible to quickly check the level of knowledge and skills in the main parameters. Exam structure:

Listening includes 3 audio fragments, which are connected into one tape. By turning it on, the teacher does not have the right to pause or stop. There is a short pause between the fragments, during which the students must write the correct answers on the form.
Reading. Half an hour is allotted for this section, and 9 tasks. Among the main ones is to read small texts, and combine them with suitable names, of which there will be 1 more.
Tip: most often it is in the first sentence that is displayed main point test text, and then only clarifying details and trifles that are not useful are given. As for the questions on the meaning of the text read, they go in the same order as the chronology of the story. This can also be tracked in the FIPI tasks, which are freely available on the Internet.
Vocabulary and grammar are designed to assess the number of learned words, and the ability to make the correct constructions from them, using the right tense and preposition.
Among the main tasks may be: enter right word, or represent it at a certain time, adding an ending, or raising it to the desired form.
The written part consists of two tasks, for which 80 minutes are provided. In the first, a letter is given from a friend with a series of questions to which the student must write an answer.
The second task is writing an essay in English. A controversial judgment is given as a topic, and the student must express an opinion on this matter and explain his point of view. Only the full disclosure of his thoughts and feelings may give the highest score. We advise you not to deviate from the stated size of the presentation of 200-250 characters. The demo version will help to practice writing, with the help of which the preparation will be excellent.

The minimum passing score this year is 22, and the maximum is 100. After receiving the result, according to certain new criteria, it is transferred to the standard five-point system, which is more familiar:

A score of 0-21 corresponds to a score of 2, and means that the test in the subject has failed.
22-58 points is a score of 3.
59-83 points means a good result, and a score of 4.
Scored 84-100 points means that you passed the exam perfectly, grade 5.

Usually, the results can be known within 14 days after the delivery, when both blocks are handed over. But, in some cases, estimates can be found out after 12 days. To do this, you need to visit the official website and find your last name. The mandatory issuance of paper certificates has been abolished, and now they can be viewed exclusively on the Internet.

In order to achieve the best option, you must initially correctly allocate your time in order to have time to repeat all the material before the decisive day.
