    The following textbooks and books.

    I have been working as an English tutor for many years and preparing my students for both entrance and final exams. I can say that any exam is a serious test for an applicant, and the Unified State Exam English language is one of the most difficult exams in secondary school. After all, this is not only a graduation, but also an entrance exam to the institute! Therefore, preparation should be approached with all responsibility.
    In order to pass the Unified State Exam in English with a high score (84-100), you must have a level of knowledge not lower than upper-intermediate. This is the level you need to focus on if your goal is to enter leading universities in Moscow.

    A lot of literature has been published to prepare for the unified state exam. Basically, these are manuals with a set of approximate Unified State Exam options in English language. Such manuals are very useful at the last stage of education, when the child has already developed a certain grammatical, lexical and conversational level, many topics of the program have been studied, and the teacher’s goal now remains to orient the student to new uniform testing. An experienced teacher understands perfectly well that without the formation of a solid theoretical foundation based on knowledge of various competencies, no amount of coaching will help in choosing the right answer. For this purpose, there are various textbooks by both domestic and foreign authors. Both have their pros and cons. Therefore, when choosing textbooks, I always try to use those tasks that are most useful in teaching a particular child and can give the best result. Do not forget that any experienced tutor will refer to his own methodological manuals, developments and ideas.

    Listening is a type of speech activity that causes greatest number difficulties not only for those who begin to learn a language or prepare for various types of exams, but also for those who find themselves in a foreign language environment and are forced to make independent decisions. To begin, you need to answer the following questions:
    1) What is listening and how does it differ from hearing?
    2) Why does this type of speech activity cause the most difficulties?
    3) How is teaching listening related to the formation of related language and speech skills?
    Firstly, Listening Comprehension is the process of perceiving and understanding speech by ear. Teaching students to understand speech by ear is one of the most important goals of teaching English. In situations of real communication, we are faced with listening as a completely independent type of speech activity. Often, in addition to listening to speech, we perform other actions: we observe, speak, write. Any audio recording provides information for discussion, which, in turn, suggests further development speaking skills. Therefore, listening is a means of learning. It is simply impossible to draw a clear line between listening and speaking in this case. Even the term speaking initially presupposes listening skills.
    Secondly, listening difficulties include:
    A) difficulties caused by listening conditions (external noise, recording quality, poor acoustics)
    B) difficulties caused by the individual characteristics of the source of speech (lack of practice in listening to the speech of people of the opposite sex, different ages, features of diction, tempo, pausing)
    Thirdly, psychologists note that when listening, internal pronunciation of speech occurs. The clearer the pronunciation, the higher the level of listening. Anyone who has the habit of internally speaking and recording information will understand and remember it better. Perception Test English speech aurally, represents perhaps one of the main problems. The reason is not only that audio cassettes are not listened to throughout school course(and this is 11 years old), but also in the fact that students do not know how to correlate key words in questions and audio recordings and choose answer options only because the same words sound in the texts, and forget that the correct answer is usually expressed synonymously. Plus, in any exam, limited time is allocated to complete the task. Add to this the anxiety that is natural during an exam, and the exam goes worse than it could.
    Reading, from my point of view, is the section that causes the greatest difficulties for applicants. Even if the student knows the format of the tasks, one should not forget that the texts for testing are provided authentic, and those who do not have a good lexical and grammatical base will not be able to show linguistic intuition, since the tasks are formulated in such a way that the use of a synonymous series can confuse the child. to no avail. A limited amount of time is allocated for the English language exam, and children simply do not have time, they are in a hurry, plus anxiety - and again unwanted mistakes. Therefore, in my lessons, I pay special attention to the study of authentic texts of various topics and complexity, which certainly leads to improved listening, speaking, and writing skills. Fiction, classical, English literature, offered for listening and subsequent discussion, encourages children to self-study works.

    Grammar and vocabulary are not the problem of one or two students, but the problem of 90% of all who decide to take the Unified State Exam in English. In lexical tasks, synonymous series can confuse even strong students. Therefore, special attention is paid to knowledge of spelling rules and the skills of their application based on the studied lexical and grammatical material, to the understanding of synonymy, antonymy, lexical compatibility, polysemy, further expansion of the scope of meanings of grammatical means studied previously, and familiarity with new grammatical phenomena, to compliance existing norms of lexical compatibility in English; I teach how to find and form related words using the basic methods of word formation, recognize that words belong to parts of speech based on certain characteristics (articles, affixes, etc.);
    Written assignments. This includes writing a personal letter of 140 words, and writing an essay on a given topic expressing your point of view (200-250 words). In this type of assignment, it is important to follow a strict structure, using arguments to prove your point. It’s not easy to come up with arguments and often it takes a lot of time to analyze the topic, the essay has to be rewritten, and everyone understands that the more topics a student understands, the more chances he has to get a top score.
    Speaking is inextricably linked with cultural competence, the meaning of which is the creative assimilation and comprehension of everything valuable both in the culture of one’s own people and in other cultures. Only a small proportion of students have a high level of cultural competence. Others are characterized by a low and average level of this competence. Consequently, it is necessary to organize special work on the formation of cultural education in the learning process, namely, in the process of studying foreign language. To develop this competence, it is necessary to organize special activities that would allow focusing on the relationship between culture, education and communication. The oral exam in English (as well as the written one) has its own structure. Therefore, to successfully pass this type of test (20 out of 20), you should follow it.

    Fight the fears within yourself: 5 ways to prevent pre-exam fear from ruining your life

    Turn your fears into your wisdom
    We all have both positive and negative experiences. This is natural, but often we fail in the fight against negative experiences - with mistakes that brought us pain - and they haunt us and prevent us from being happy. We are afraid of making mistakes again, and this does not give us the opportunity to enjoy life and therefore we are in constant tension. To achieve happiness, reduce stress, and move forward toward your dreams, you need to confront these fears. One of the worst fears we have to fight is constantly expecting failure. When we cannot free ourselves from the negativity that the future may bring us, we allow it into today's life. By clinging to our fear, we limit our potential and our future. Correct perception and the ability to realize what haunts us, including in relationships with people, allows us to learn valuable lessons that help us avoid serious mistakes in the future. If we are able to overcome past mistakes and forget about them, we become more resilient to stress and adversity and realize that we can cope with them. But sometimes we are not fully aware of what worries us. Surprisingly, fears can have a beneficial effect on us, forcing us to change and look at life in a new and more constructive way. The ability to overcome fears makes us stronger and more resilient to ups and downs. Successfully combating fears within ourselves determines our ability to be happy, improve ourselves and enjoy everything that life gives us. And here's how you can do it.
    1. Be able to pinpoint the cause of your fear.
    Before you can fight your inner fears, you need to see them. There is no need to endlessly say that you cannot cope with the problem, play games with your subconscious, become despondent and irritate those around you. Find time for yourself, be left alone with yourself and find the objective reason for your fear.
    2. Be objective.
    Having named the reason for your fear, move to a more objective plane, try to think more rationally. Ask yourself what exactly caused this experience.
    3. Keep things in perspective.
    Remind yourself that failure, pain, disappointment and other negative feelings are an integral part of life. But you are strong enough to not let your anxiety make you a hostage to the situation. Think about the future of your problems. What happens if you win? Or what happens if you lose?
    4. Start developing your small business plan.
    Often it is difficult for us to do this because we do not have such experience. But think about it, what are we losing? A little of your time and a couple of sheets of paper? Take a notebook. Write down what problem you have, use an arrow to the left to indicate the reason, and use an arrow or several to the right to indicate ideas for overcoming the obstacle we call fear. If you have no ideas, you can ask your parents or teachers for advice. You, of course, have friends who also experience these same problems. It's always easier to act together.
    5. We begin to act.
    When we constantly cling to anxiety, we limit our own capabilities because we avoid risks and new endeavors due to fears. We think in terms of “I can’t”, “I shouldn’t”, “I won’t succeed”. But it should be the other way around. You have a clear understanding of your problem and you know how to overcome it. Go ahead and don’t forget: you have your own business plan and its implementation depends only on you.
