ЗНО (ЄВІ) 2021 року з англійської мови в магістратуру – основна сесія (2 зміна)

________________

Nothing is worse than a speaker you can’t hear. Even in the high-tech world of microphones and amplifiers, you need to be heard. Projecting your voice doesn’t mean yelling, rather standing up straight and letting your voice resonate on the air in your lungs rather than in the throat to produce a clearer sound.

________________

Any gestures you make need to be an extension of your message and any emotions that message conveys. Planned gestures look false because they don’t match your other involuntary movements that your body cues. You'd be better off keeping your hands to your side.

________________

Don’t adjust a projector or fumble with PowerPoint when people are waiting for you to speak. Come early, scope out the room, run through your slide show and make sure there won't be any holdbacks. Moreover, preparation can do a lot to remove your speaking anxiety.

________________

Apologies are only useful if you’ve done something wrong. Don’t use them to account for incompetence or humble yourself in front of your audience. Don’t apologise for your nervousness or a lack of preparation time. Most audience members can’t detect your anxiety, so don’t draw attention to it.

Task 2

My Hometown

By Christina L.

If you were to look at Cutler, you would probably be reminded of a Norman Rockwell picture. The small-town atmosphere and caring people give it an old-fashioned quality that is not often duplicated. Surrounded by thick rugged firs and the chilled Atlantic Ocean, this habitat is home to as few as 500 year-round residents together with summer guests.

I have lived among this untamed coastal beauty all my life as have my mother and her mother as well. My grandmother spent her early years on an island in the mouth of the harbour. Her stories of these unique days are rich with tidal waters and family togetherness. The quaint size of my seaside home gives its residents special qualities. People of Cutler have small-town values. They pull together in times of joy and need. Whenever my father needs help, more than enough hands always seem to appear and get the job done. These same hands are also there to give him a pat on the back or a round of applause.

A certain uniqueness is applied to jobs of Cutler as well. Many of its residents make their earnings by working off the land. Through the fog-filled summer mornings you can always see shellfish scattered across the muddy flats. Faithful Cutler fishermen slip out of the harbour before the sun creeps over the horizon. My father is one of these men, boat builders in winter months and fishers of lobster the rest of the year. I have worked with him on the boat since I was ten and have been able to drink up the beauty of the shore while strengthening my relationship with him. This summertime work has taught me a lot about who I am.

Living in a town like this, one learns to appreciate simpler things in life. At night one might go for a row in the harbour and glide across the rippled reflections of silvery street lights. Exercise can be obtained by hiking a mossy trail, and the best therapy for a stressful day is curling up by the shore with a crisp apple and a good book.

After this summer I will be moving out into the “real world” to experience what life is really like. I am excited about the many opportunities in store for me; but as I move forward, I won't leave the past behind. I will take the small-town values with me. No matter where I am, I know I will always be able to close my eyes and smell the salty sea breeze of Cutler, the town that will always be my home.

What is stated about Cutler, according to PARAGRAPH 1?

Task 3

World’s Most Unusual Cafes

Neko Cafe

Themed cafes have been appearing all over Japan. Among the strangest, these “neko” (Japanese for “cat”) cafes originated in Taiwan and have since been imported to Tokyo. One of the most famous, Cat’s Store, allows customers to get a coffee and at the same time enjoy cats’ companionship in a city where limited space often means dog or cat-free apartments. People come in to relax, many regularly. Most stay for over an hour, others for the whole day. Some have admitted to taking a sick day to spend time with cats. At about $9.00 an hour, it’s a pricey cup of coffee but an inexpensive therapy session.

Which cafe ___________?

100% Chocolate Cafe

Who needs coffee when you have chocolate? And this Tokyo cafe, beautifully designed by Masamichi Katayama, serves up an unthinkable variety — 56 different kinds, to be exact — housed in their lovely “chocolate library”. You can pick the chocolates you want by number to put together your own custom box of chocolate. For Valentine’s Day, 100% Chocolate Cafe has some decidedly non-giri (obligation) chocolates, including one called number 14, which is a raspberry and strawberry chocolate billed as “A Specially Blended Chocolate for Sweethearts”.

Which cafe ___________?

Urban Station

The idea of using a coffee shop as your own personal office is probably pretty familiar to students, intellectuals, writers, freelancers, and people who like to read in silence. And although it’s not all that strange, we really like the concept of designing cafes meant to serve as workspace. A new wave of cafe-office hybrids, such as Urban Station in Buenos Aires, has been appearing, offering Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, and spacious tables!

Which cafe ___________?

Disaster Cafe

This cafe and restaurant is strictly for those with a strong stomach, and not because of the food. Food’s been called “quite good”, but customers here rarely say that their meal’s been a typical one. This is probably due to the simulated earthquakes that occur. Everything in the underground restaurant is designed to withstand a 7.8 earthquake. The plates and glasses are heavy, so they remain still, and the staff have to put on safety gear, though mostly for show. Don’t worry; there have been no injuries yet. One tiny warning: food and drinks have been known to spill during the seismic simulation, so, dress accordingly.

Which cafe ___________?

Corner Perk

This cafe is not unusual in decor or theme, it’s not home to cats and it’s standing on the firm ground. What’s strange about it is that you're likely to get your coffee without paying for it. Sounds hard to believe? The customers are just as surprised. It all started when a Good Samaritan, a woman who has chosen to remain anonymous, left a $100 bill with the owner, Josh Cooke, to pay for everyone who ordered after her until the money was gone. She continues to make the donation every few months and has inspired others to follow suit, some just stop in to make their donation.

Which cafe ___________?

La Distributrice

Walking down Mont-Royal in Montreal you might miss this hole-like-in-the-wall cafe, which is neatly tucked below a staircase. La Distributrice occupies the smallest retail space in the city, and claims the title of the smallest cafe in North America. The barista makes three kinds of coffee — Americano, espresso, and latte — and serves it through a little window year round. If it weren’t for the bench and greenery neatly positioned around the tiny space outside, you'd hardly call it a cafe. It’s a tiny coffee shop with big coffee taste.

Which cafe ___________?

Task 4

Elephant Smashes House, then Saves a Crying Baby

An angry elephant smashed a house in an Indian village on Monday night, but when it (17) ___________, the animal turned back and carefully removed the parts of the ruined wall from the infant’s body.

“We ran over and were (19) ___________ and an elephant standing over our baby,” Dipak told The Times of India. “She was crying and there were huge chunks of the wall (20) ___________.”

The couple took their daughter to the hospital where she was (21) ___________ but otherwise found to be in good health.

Conflict has (22) ___________ in recent years because villages have expanded into land that’s part of the elephants’ migration routes. Herds of elephants routinely attack farms and destroy houses, but rarely attack people. “Unless people attack an elephant, these gentle giants do not harm human beings. They only come down here in search of food,” said forestry official Purulia Prokash.
