Strategies and useful tips

• Для выполнения этого задания не требуется полного понимания текста. Важно уловить основное общее содержание текста, не вчитываясь в каждое слово. Мы можем выполнить это задание, опираясь на ключевые слова. Главное, суметь быстро соотнести найденные в тексте опорные слова с ключевым словом заголовка к нему.
• До прочтения текстов ознакомимся со всеми заголовками A–H и определим в них ключевые слова.
• Найдём различия в заголовках. Особое внимание уделим схожим заголовкам и поймём, чем они отличаются друг от друга.
• Главная мысль текста, как правило, перефразирована в заголовке при помощи синонимов. До прочтения текстов подберём синонимы и перефразирование к ключевым словам заголовков A–H, предположим, какие слова или словосочетания мы можем услышать в тексте. Мы можем также предположить, о чём будет рассказывать текст с таким заголовком.
• Прочитаем текст и соотнесём опорные слова текста с ключевым словом заголовка. При этом помним, что заголовок должен подходить к значению текста в целом, а не просто содержать такие же слова, как и текст.
• Если мы затрудняемся в определении заголовка к одному из текстов, оставим его и перейдём к следующему.
• Помним, что в текстах могут содержаться дистракторы, то есть слова и выражения, которые могут нас запутать. Поэтому мы не торопимся, сначала читаем весь текст и только потом выбираем ответ.
• Важно помнить, что один из заголовков в задании лишний. После того как один из заголовков останется неиспользованным, ещё раз вспомним содержание всех текстов и убедимся, что этот заголовок не подходит ни к одному из них.

1. I know a lot of people are fond of going on trips to the countryside. But I can't stand it. There's nothing to do there and it's really boring. Enjoying the outdoors might be OK for an hour or two, but spending the whole weekend there is awful. I prefer the hustle and bustle of big cities.

2. I'd never like to try extreme sports. They're risky and dangerous. Free time should be a time for relaxation, not for stress and worry. How can one relax doing something scary? I prefer some quiet and peaceful activity. Reading is my all-time favourite.

3. I never watch TV and neither do my friends. For me, TV is something from the past. Who wants to watch TV when there's the internet? There you can find the most up-to-date information and the latest trends. And what is more, it's always with you on your phone. You can enjoy it wherever you are.

4. Music is important to me. Whatever I do, I listen to music. I listen to it on my way to school and back home, at the supermarket, and on a walk with my dog. Music never bores or annoys me. With my earphones on, I shut myself off from everyone, I'm in my own world. And I'm happy.

5. Voluntary work? No, never. I know it's good and noble to help those in need, to run errands for the elderly, to plant trees, and clean the parks. But I'm too busy with my school studies and sports. I want to have more time for myself. When I have some free time, I just lie down on my bed and relax.

6. Clubbing is my all-time favourite. Dancing is the most enjoyable activity you can think of. It helps you to let out stress and to stay in shape. The atmosphere in clubs is amazing. Everything is so bright and everyone is so positive. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for clubbing but I try to do it at least once a month.

7. You can play video games at home but computers in cyber clubs are completely different. They are powerful, and there you can have effects that cannot be experienced at home. And the most important thing is the spirit of competition and excitement that unites all computer gamers. Each of us is absorbed in the game, but at the same time, we feel unity with the others.
