Reading aloud
When you read a text aloud, pay attention to:
• speed - don't go too fast or too slow;
• clarity - speak in a loud clear voice;
• pronunciation - say the difficult words to yourself as you read the text silently;
• intonation - read with expression, not a monotone;
• rhythm - when you read with rhythm, the text flows; mind stressed and unstressed words in a sentence
Model (Task 1)
Listen to someone reading the text. Evaluate her performance.
Module 1
Nobody has to be the victim of bullying. Bullying is a big problem, but there are ways to deal with it. The most common advice is to ignore the bully as much as possible and this is usually the best thing to do. Bullies want attention, and the less attention you give them the better. Don't get upset, don't fight back. Try to leave the situation as quickly as possible. Of course, this is easier to do if you have friends around you. So, if you see someone being bullied, be a friend. Go up to him and invite him to join you, then help him walk away from the situation. It's always important, though, to tell an adult. That way, they can help too.
Practice (Task 1)
You need to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.
Module 3
Charles Richard Drew was born on the 3rd of June, 1904, in Washington, D.C., USA. His father was a carpet layer and his mother was a teacher. He was a skilled athlete and a very good student, and won an athletics scholarship to university. He later went to medical school and earned an MD. After that, he continued with graduate studies, becoming the first African-American to earn a Doctor of Medical Science degree. During his research, he discovered a new way of preserving blood, which made blood transfusions work better. He also set up the first large blood banks in the United States. His discoveries
saved many lives. Tragically, he was killed in a car accident in 1950 when he was only forty-five.
Module 5
A waterspout is essentially a tornado which occurs over a body of water. During a storm, swirling currents of air pick up water and lift it into the air, creating a visible tube or 'spout'. They are often spectacular: dark and twisting, connecting the sea and the clouds. Most waterspouts occur in the tropics, but they are quite common in Canada's Great Lakes region as well. Normally, they are not as destructive as tornados, but they can pose a threat to boats, swimmers - and fish! Waterspouts are strong enough to pull small marine animals out of the water and up into the spout. These luckless creatures can even be carried inland inside the cloud, at last falling on the bemused inhabitants of towns and villages.
Module 7
Summerhill School in the UK is rather unusual, because it has almost no rules. It was founded in 1921 according to a philosophy of reduced authority. The idea is that children develop in a more natural way if they have control over their own upbringing. Summerhill is private, and parents must pay fees for their children to attend. It's also a boarding school, which means the pupils are accommodated at the school. There are around 80 pupils at Summerhill and 15 staff. Pupils can go to whichever lessons they like, and vote on school decisions. Teachers and students have a friendly relationship. However, the school has always been controversial, with critics saying it fails to educate children adequately or prepare them for the real world.
