What are the advantages and disadvantages of animal research?

La paresse est un vilain défaut
Herbe-Folle, le levraut, a un très gros défaut : il est paresseux. La maîtresse, une vieille chèvre, ne sait comment le faire travailler.
- Je ne vois rien au tableau! déclare un jour ce fainéant.
Ses parents l’emmènent chez l’opticien où Herbe-Folle continue à jouer la comédie. Finalement, il se retrouve avec des lunettes aux verres tellement épais qu’il ne voit plus rien à travers. Voilà le jeune lièvre pris à son propre piège. Il ne distingue même plus le bout de ses pieds et est obligé de tout avouer à ses parents.

Давно не было новых эпизодов, поэтому продолжить я предлагаю очень интересно - сегодня мы возьмем отрывок из знаменитого романа Льва Николаевича Толстого “Анны Карениной”. Слова Степана Аркадьича (Стивы) о Константине Левине.

Как и раньше, я читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Знаки препинания я буду называть, их будет всего три: точка (.), запятая (,) и тире (-).

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “двенадцатый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

5 Useful Phrases for the IELTS Speaking Test

Taking the IELTS Speaking test is not difficult and in fact, you can even get a band score of 8 to 9…if you know what you are doing.

The IELTS Speaking test lasts for about 11-14 minutes. It is designed to assess your pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. It is divided into three parts.

When taking the IELTS Speaking test, you have to keep in mind that using effective phrases will help you get a high band score. Vocabulary and grammar are two of the criteria in this part of the IELTS test.


Here are some ideas to help you succeed at it and to impress the examiner!

1. Opening Statements
How you open your statements is your first opportunity to impress the examiner. 

Examples:

Today, I’d like to share with you about…
In this talk, I’m going to tell you how…

2. Closing statements
The manner in which you end your statements plays a vital role in the IELTS speaking test too.

Examples:

In conclusion…
To sum up…
To summarize

3. Beginning the Main Body of Your Speech 
Once you are asked a question or given a topic to talk about, be creative and use phrases and expressions that the examiner will find appealing. 

Examples:

 First and foremost….
And why do I find it so appealing? It is, after all….
To begin with… 

4. Building on Your Idea
When you have started talking about your topic, you would want to include some background information and some explanations and examples to help develop your topic. 

Examples:

Another reason why I like…
One of the main advantages…
One of the consequences…

5. Expressing Your Opinions
You should change your words while presenting your viewpoint on a subject, just as you should when adding personal experiences, rather than repeating the phrase ‘I think’.

Examples:

In my opinion…
I firmly believe that…
From my point of view…

These ideas will help you to succeed and more will be covered in our 1to1 private classes together.
