Dear teacher!
The group of teachers designed this collection of tasks as a teaching aid to assist teachers
within the framework of updating the content of education. Tasks with assessment criteria and
descriptors are samples for assisting teachers in providing constructive feedback to learners in terms
of achievement of learning objectives; in selecting and designing similar tasks, in planning lessons
and carrying out Formative Assessment.
The advisory nature of the tasks collection allows teachers to adapt, add and make changes
in tasks according to learners’ capacities and requirements.
This collection of tasks is designed for secondary school teachers, school administrations,
educational departments’ seniors, regional and school coordinators in criteria-based assessment and
others.
Freely available Internet resources such as pictures, cartoons, photos, texts, video and audio
materials, etc. have been used in designing this tasks collection. The collection of tasks was
designed for the uncommercial purposes.

Read the text and identify the aim of it. Choose the heading for the text from suggested list.

My hobby is reading. Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in
their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers.
Television has not killed reading, however. Today newspapers and magazines are sold in
very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a
cheap way to get information and entertainment.
Books at home are a wonderful source of knowledge and pleasure, and some types of
books should be in every home. Every home should have dictionaries. Every home should have
an atlas of the world, with large maps. A good encyclopedia is useful, too, because there you can
find information on any subject.
It is important to have some fiction on your shelves, too. Then you can relax with a good
story, or from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelf and read the thoughts and
feelings of your favourite poets.

MY HOBBIES / INTERESTS
My name is Luke. My favourite hobby is photography. When I have time I take lots of
pictures. I take photos when I’m at my grandparents’. They live in the country, near the forest and
have a big garden. It’s an ideal place for me. Sometimes I encounter some animals there. I try to
take a picture of them. My Dad helps me to choose the best photos. I send them to magazines. I
won a photo competition once. I’ve got a beautiful album called “wonders of the World”. Dad says
we are going to our grandparents’ for the weekend. I can’t wait! I will be able to take lots and lots
of photos.
Also I have my board games. I can play Monopoly or Scrabble with Dad or Mum. I also
have Trivia quizzes or the Millionaire. These are my favourite games that have cards with lots of
questions about sport, people and the world around us. They are great!

MY HOBBIES / INTERESTS
I also like both computer games and board games. We have one computer at home but
sometimes Dad brings home his laptop and we can play a network game.
My favorite computer games are strategy, sport and adventure games. I got my first
computer two or three years ago and my first game was FIFA 2003. This is a game where you play
different football teams. It was great. My favorite adventure game is Broken Sword III. As for
strategy games, I like Command Conquer best.
When I’m outside with my friends we also play certain games. Not the silly games for little
children, like hide-and-seek or piggy-in-the middle, but more serious things. We play pirates, who
fight with each other to get the treasure or the Lord of Ring – I like to be Aragon best. And of
course there is nothing better than good game of football played with your friends!

Val's Garden
I am new to the city. I do not know anyone. But an old woman
lives next door. Her name is Val. She gives me a big box of
vegetables.
She grows them in a garden by the sidewalk. There are carrots,
tomatoes, beans, and peas. They are the best vegetables I ever ate.
Val lives alone, too. But she seems happy in her garden. She loves
plants. Sometimes, I can hear her talking to them. Maybe that is
why they grow so big.
One day, I stop seeing Val in the garden. I see people take many boxes from her home.
Weeds grow in her garden. The dirt is dry. The plants look sad. Val must have passed on.
So I pull the weeds. I water the garden. I even talk to the plants.
Then a family moves next door. They are new to the city. They do not know anyone.
And I give them a big box of vegetables from Val’s garden.

CAMERAS
One of the latest technological developments is cameras, which have been used for
many years, especially to fight against crime. First, cameras have started to be installed in
public places such as car, parks and shopping centres where the number of the staff isn’t enough
to prevent theft. Recent surveys have shown that theft has decreased in the places where
cameras are installed. Cameras have also been used in schools, colleges and office lifts to
prevent the theft of valuable equipment such as computers. Secondly, cameras are helpful in
preventing hooligans from spoiling the pleasure of the majority at some social events like
football matches. They film people at large sporting events so it is easy to distinguish the people
who are hooligans. Finally, cameras are used outside our houses as it is a good way of catching
thieves. To conclude, it is possible to reduce crime and feel more secure by means of cameras.

Robots
A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is
a machine that moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come
from a computer. Because it is a machine, it does not make mistakes.
And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless you tell it to!
Long ago, people imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a
famous poet imagined robots. The poet’s name was Homer. His
robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made things.
But they were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to
make a real robot. The first real robot was made in 1961. It was called
Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked like a giant arm.
Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things,
to explore dangerous places, to clean things.
In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we can’t do. Or
they will do things that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous for
us. Robots will help us fight fires. They will help us fight sickness. They will help make life
better.

Task
Read the text and match each sentence to a television theory. There are two theories you do
not need.
Television theories
There are many theories on the effect of television on human being. Here are some of them.
A. The “Television makes you stupid” theory. This theory says that there are many bad
programmes on television. If you watch a lot of these programmes they make you stupid and
lazy. You don`t think for yourself.
B.The “Television makes you fat” theory. Some studies say that if people watch too much
television they get fat. In the United Kingdom and the United States, many people think that
children are fat because they watch lots of television and don`t go out to play.
C.The “Television makes you intelligent” theory. Today there are special series with names like
Baby Einstein, or Brainy Baby. They say that if babies sit down to watch these programmes they
develop more quickly.
D.The “Television makes you frightened” theory. Every day people see crime on documentaries
or the news. This theory says that this scares people. They think the world is more dangerous
than it really is.
E.The “Television makes you violent” theory. This theory says that young people are violent
because they see violence on television. Some people say that modern video games also make
young people violent.
F.The “Television makes you ill” theory. Some people believe that if you watch television for too
long, it hurts your eyes. Some people say that television gives them headache too.
1. I do not want to go to the city centre at night. The news says there are lots of problems.
2. If I watch television for more than an hour, it hurts my head.

The universe is a big place. I don’t think anyone can understand just how big. The universe never,
ever ends. It is infinite in size. It’s funny when scientists say they want to unlock the secrets of the
universe. That’s impossible. There are way too many secrets out there. The universe has given us
an adjective in English that is misused. When we say something is universal, it doesn’t make
sense. That’s because we’re saying it takes place or happens all around the universe, when in fact,
it only happens on Earth. Another strange use of the word universe is that people talk about their
universe. Sometimes they say their universe collapsed when something sad happened. Scientists
even call our brain a mini universe.

What Is The Solar System?
The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar
System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.
Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98%
of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because
the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards
it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun,
outward into the emptiness of outer space. The result of the planets trying to fly away, at the
same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in
between.

Assessment criteria • Apply the difference between formal and informal speech in
a talk
• Make up complex interrogative sentences to get information
about the topic
Mercury takes 59 days to make a rotation but only 88 days to circle the
Sun. That means that there are fewer than 2 days in a year!
Many astronomers believe that Mercury might be the core of what was once a much larger
planet -- it appears to be a huge ball of iron covered by a thin layer of rock.
Venus is the brightest planet in our sky and can sometimes be seen with
the naked eye if you know where to look. It is the solar system's brightest
planet -- yellow clouds of sulfuric acid reflect the sun's light.
Mars is the home of "Olympus Mons", the largest volcano found in the
solar system. It stands about 27 kilometers high with a crater 81 kilometers
wide.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, but it spins very quickly
on its axis. A day on Jupiter lasts only 9 hours and 55 minutes. I get dizzy
just thinking about it!
Jupiter is so big that you could fit all the other planets in the solar system
inside it.
The red spot of Jupiter is the biggest, most violent storm in the known
universe -- that spot is at least three times the size of earth!

Mercury is very hot during the day and very cold at night. It is also the fastest planet in
the Solar system. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. One of its volcanoes, Mat and
Olympia’s Mons, is named after the Egyptian god of truth and justice. The beautiful blue color of
Earth comes from the oceans which cover 70 per cent of the planet. More than seven billion
people live there. The fourth planet, Mars, is named for the Roman god of war. Until 1976
scientists believed there could be life on Mars. Jupiter is the largest planet that we know of. It is a
very stormy planet because it spins so fast. Saturn is 100 times the size of Earth, but it is even
lighter than water, so it would float in a gigantic swimming pool! Uranus is strange because it
spins at an angle. Each pole of Uranus, north and south, has 42 years of sunlight, then 42 years of
darkness. Neptune takes more than 160 years to go round the sun. It has the strongest winds in
the solar system – up to 2 400 kph. Pluto is not considered as planet anymore because of its
strange orbit.

Task
Read the following text. In small group do matching 1-6 phrases with a-f to make
sentences about the text.
1) The Kelper space telescope a) are not in our solar system.
2) Kelper has found five planets that b) will not have enough air.
3) A planet can support life if it c) will have too much air.
4) A very small planet d) is looking for life on other planets.
5) An extremely big planet e) about $600 million on the mission. .
6) NASA willl spend f) has water and air.
How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are there
other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kelper mission hopes to discover.
NASA launched the Kelper space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009.
So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system. These planets
are hotter than the Earth’s sun – much too hot for life aswe know it. The Kelper team predicts
that they will need at least three years (and possibly longer) to find an Earth-like planet.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life (carbon-based life like on Earth) is for there
to be liquid water (not frozen or gas) so the distance from the planet’s sun and therefore
temperature are important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as
small as Mars (half the size of Earth)its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air
molecules. If a planet is Neptune sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity
and too much air. So size matters too.
The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to
observe until 2013 but this could be extended.
Work in your group to discuss the following issue: The argument continues. In the
meantime many people think how many planets can become home for humans. What do
you think it is? Analyze feedback from other groups.

Halloween is believed to have come from an ancient Celtic festival dating back some 2,000 years.
November 1st was the Celtic New Year and marked the end of summer to the Celts, so they
celebrated on its eve by wearing costumes made of animal skins and dancing around bon fires.
Over the next two millennia, this primitive celebration grew to be candy fueled costume ball that

Watching television is a major activity that influence on children and adolescents. Children
in the United states average watch and three to four hours a day. By the time of high school
graduation, they will have spent more time watching television than they have in the classroom.
Children who watch a lot of television are likely to: have lower grades in school, read fewer
books, exercise less, be overweight.
Time spent watching television takes away from important activities such as reading,
school work, playing, exercise, family interaction, and social development. Children also learn
information from television that may be inappropriate or incorrect. They often cannot tell the
difference between the fantasies presented on television and reality. They are influenced by the
thousands of commercials seen each year, many of which are for alcohol, junk foods, and toys.
Parents can help by doing the following: don’t allow children to watch long blocks of TV,
but help them select individual programs. Choose shows that meet the developmental needs of
your child. Children’s shows on public TV are appropriate. Set certain periods when the
television will be off. Study times are for learning, not for sitting in front of the TV. Make TV
viewing an active process for child and parents!

The food pyramid is a guide for planning a healthy diet. If you eat the recommended
portions of each food group every day, you will get all the nutrients you need and you will have
enough calories to keep you healthy.
Carbohydrates make up the biggest part of the pyramid. Nutritionists recommend that 60-
65% of the food we eat every day should be made up of carbohydrates. They provide vitamin B,
minerals and fibre. Foods in this group include bread, cereal, rice and pasta.
Fruits and vegetables also contain carbohydrates and are a good source of vitamins, minerals
and fibre. We should eat between 3-5 portions of fruit and of vegetables each day.
Protein is important but should be eaten in moderation. We can find it in dairy products such
as milk, cheese, and yoghurt. These foods also contain calcium and vitamins. We should choose
dairy products with lower levels of fat and only eat 1-2 portions per day.
Meat, fish, beans and eggs contain the most protein. Proteins, which come from animals, are
called ‘complete proteins’ as they contain essential amino acids.
Fats, oils and sweets are at the top of the pyramid: this means that we should not eat them
too much. Remember that fats are contained in other food groups too. But not all fats are bad.
Saturated fats like butter should not be eaten too often, but unsaturated fats like olive oil are good
for us in moderation.

Task
Read the text, find out the main idea of the text and highlight argument, reasons and facts.
Then retell the text.
Sleep is important. Nobody fully understands why we need it, but scientists think that the
body uses the time to recover and to repair damage. When we fall asleep, our heart and breathing
rates slow down, muscles relax and our senses rest. If this is the case, are you giving your body
enough rest?
Lack of sleep means that the body and brain do not work properly. If you do not go to bed
at a reasonable time, you will be sleepy in class and not learn so much. Tiredness means you may
not be able to think clearly, and you may be a danger to other people. Accidents can happen. You
will lack energy, and even playing becomes too much of an effort. Is staying up late really worth
it?
Answer keys:
This is an argument:
Sleep is important.
These are facts:
When we fall asleep, our heart and breathing rates slow down, muscles relax and our senses
rest.
The body uses the time to recover and to repair damage.

Learning objectives 7.R6 Recognise the attitude or opinion of the writer on a range of
unfamiliar general and curricular topics
7.R8 Use familiar and some unfamiliar paper and digital reference
resources with little support to check meaning and extend
understanding
Task 1
Read the texts and fill the table with the proper information from the text.
Learners draw a table in their copybook. Teacher monitors learners’ work and checks that they
write information in proper column.Learners can use any dictionary to check the meaning of the
words. They can do this task in pairs or individually.
Synthetic fabrics
Synthetic fabrics do not come from plants or animals. They are made of chemicals, and the
chemicals usually come from oil. There are many different synthetic fabrics. Nylon, polyester,
Spandex, and Gore-Tex are some of the most important ones. They are light and strong. They
can stretch and fit close to the body, so they are often used for sports clothes, for example, shirts
and shorts for cyclists.
Wool
People have always worn clothes made of wool, especially in cold countries. The wool
comes from sheep, alpacas, and other animals. There are different types of wool. In some wool,
the threads are thin. This wool is used to make sweaters and scarves. Thicker threads are used to
make blankets and carpets. We can make seven sweaters with the wool from one sheep.
Silk
The first silk was made in China about 5, 000 years ago. The secret of silk is a tiny animal,
called a silkworm. The silkworm makes a thin thread and wraps the thread around its body. In
two or three days, the silkworm can make about 900 meters of thread. Then people take the
thread and wash it.
People weave the silkworm’s thread and make silk. Dresses made of silk move easily
when the person walks. Silk clothes are comfortable because silk is very soft.
165
ЖОБА
Cotton
Most shirts, t-shirts, jeans, socks, and underwear are made of cotton. Cotton clothes are
good in hot countries because the air goes through the fabric and keeps you cool.
Cotton plants grow in fields. The white balls on the cotton plant are picked and washed,
then they are made into cotton threads. Most of the word’s cotton is grown in China, India, and
the USA.
Task 2
Answer the questions.
1. What types of wool exist?
2. Why do we need wool?
3. Why is silk fabric so specific?
4. If we don’t have a silkworm can we substitute this animal for production silk or fabric
close to this one.
