Как готовиться по темам
- Не заучивайте. Заученный текст слышно, и экзаменатор переходит к вопросам, на которые заготовки нет. Достаточно знать, о чём будете говорить, и нужные слова.
- Проговаривайте вслух. Тема, которую вы хотя бы раз рассказали вслух, на экзамене идёт заметно легче, чем прочитанная глазами.
- Смотрите на критерии. Балл ставят за беглость и связность, словарь, грамматику и произношение. Чем ответ на 6 отличается от ответа на 7, — в статье о критериях оценивания.
- Точно ли попадётся тема из списка? Нет, гарантий нет. Экзаменатор может спросить и другое, поэтому важнее уметь строить ответ, чем знать список.
