I keep her cage in the hall because she makes noise at night. But in the daytime I let her run about the flat and play with her.

Sue eats vegetables and I feed her every day. I clean her cage every week. I like to take care of my pet.

I hope that one day my parents will buy me one more pet. I would like to get a rabbit on my birthday.

2015-11-16

Good day, my dears! I have amazing news for you!

British scientists have found that if you put an English textbook under your pillow every night, the speed of assimilation of the material increases by 15-20%... Just kidding, of course! Although, if an English textbook regularly ends up in your hands, that’s a big deal!

In this article, I will present to your attention conversational topics in the English language that will help you learn how to correctly construct sentences, conduct a dialogue correctly, increase your vocabulary and learn the meaning of established colloquial phrases.

You will definitely be interested!

Agree that studying dry theory and executing monotonous exercise is an unbearably boring activity, especially for children. To increase the effectiveness of learning, more attention and effort must be devoted to , and choose a topic so that it is truly exciting and educational.

Typical situations, events of everyday life, stories about well-known things and events - all this has not lost its relevance and, with a healthy creative approach, will not leave either students or teachers indifferent.

You can add a twist to almost any topic: use some slang expression, place a famous character in an unusual situation, or specially place an “extra” word.
It is also necessary to present small dialogues on topics. Below I have provided a list of topics on which you can perfectly practice your speaking skills. Any themes are suitable for both children and adults.

By the way, you can find a complete list of topics by topic

Themes

A not very complex topic is suitable for schoolchildren:

Eg:
We tell the children that Winnie the Pooh came to the store, and the Rabbit works there as a salesman. The following dialogue follows:
— Can I help you, Mister?
- Yes, I want to buy honey, but I have no money!
- Who are you, Mister? Where are you from? And why don’t you want to pay?
— My name is Winnie-The-Pooh. I'm from the forest. And I don't have money.
- In that case, No money, No honey!!! Bye-Bye!

For those preparing for the exam, both the topics outlined above and the following are suitable:

For example:
Tell us what is your favorite or least favorite holiday. What time of year do you celebrate it? What dishes does your family prepare on this day? Do you give each other gifts? How do you celebrate the celebration itself, do you invite friends.

I like New Year. That's my favorite holiday. I liked it a lot when I was a kid. My mother always gave me a lot of presents like a bike, a new book or a gadget. Besides, my mother cooked a lot of food. She always baked my favorite apple pie. We invited many friends to our place. I also like the weather at this time. There is a lot of snow and ice everywhere.

Let's add to the list:

Each of us has ever had the task of telling about ourselves in writing or orally. This could be when applying for a job, when meeting new people, when filling out an application, taking an exam, or simply it was the topic of your school essay.

It is important to immediately determine how deep and extensive your story about yourself should be. Of course, it all depends on the situation. If you are preparing for an interview, then the story should be clear, concise, and businesslike. You should focus on your education, work experience, your business qualities, and in general, your advantages and prospects as an employee. If your story is aimed at new acquaintances, then most likely you will mainly talk about your interests, hobbies, habits, character, etc. In your school essay, you will definitely have to talk about your family and friends and plans for the future . Situations in which you need to talk about yourself can be very different.

If you are faced with the task of talking about yourself in English, then ready-made phrase templates will come to your aid, adding to which you will get a full-fledged essay. First, you need to determine for yourself what exactly you want to talk about and draw up a clear plan for the story. I suggest you learn a “universal” self-narration plan that will work for almost any situation. You can decide for yourself which points in your essay will be covered in more detail and which not. For each item, you will be offered template phrases with translations, which you will need to supplement with information about yourself.

The outline of our story will be as follows:

1. Introduction and general information about myself
2. Place of residence (The place where I live)
3. Information about family
4. Education
5. Place of work (My job)
6. My hobbies, talents and interests
7. Character traits
8. Plans for the future

Template phrases are the main assistants when writing a story about yourself

Writing a story “About myself”

As an introduction, if the situation allows it, you can say the following phrase:

It’s hard to speak about myself as only people surrounding me can see me objectively - It’s very difficult to talk about yourself, because they can only perceive me objectively from the outside

Let me introduce myself - Let me introduce myself
Let me tell you a few words about myself - Let me tell you a little about myself

First of all, state your name:

My name is Valentin - My name is Valentin

If your loved ones call you differently, you can add the following words:

But my friends call me Vel - But friends usually call me Val
But people usually call me Valea - But they usually call me Valya
But you can call me Vel - But you can call me Val

You can indicate the origin of your name or something interesting about it:

It is a Latin name - This is a Latin name
I was named after my grandmother - I was named after my grandmother
My name is quite unusual and I like it - My name is quite unusual and I like it

After this you can specify your age:

I am 25 years old - I am 25 years old
I was born in 1988 - I was born in 1988
I will be 30 in three months - I will turn 30 in three months
I will be 20 next Octomber - I will turn 20 next October

I am from Saint Petersburg - I am from St. Petersburg
I come from France, I live in Paris - I am from France, I live in Paris
I used to live in Saint Petersburg, but now I live in Moscow - I used to live in Saint Petersburg, and now I live in Moscow.
I was born in London and I have lived there all my life - I was born in London and live there all my life
I was born in Balta. It is a small town near Odessa. When I was 16 I moved to Saint Petersburg with my family - I was born in Balta. This is a small town near Odessa. When I was 16, I moved to St. Petersburg with my family

If your interlocutor is interested, you can devote a couple of sentences to your city, its location and attractions. In America, when meeting a new person, this point is simply mandatory. For some reason this is very important for Americans. A person may be born, for example, in the state of Illinois and move to another state in early childhood, but when meeting you, he will certainly mention that he is from the state of Illinois.

My home town is very big, one million people live there - My hometown is very big, a million people live there
It is located in the south of the country - It is located in the south of the country
My home city is the center of light industry - My hometown is the center of light industry
My home town is famous for its theater - My home town is famous for its theater

If you are writing an essay about yourself in English, then you must definitely mention your family:

I come from a large/ small family - I am from a large/ small family
All members of my family are helpful and friendly - All members of my family are friendly
There are five of us in the family - There are five of us in the family
We get on well with each other - We get along well with each other
I have a father a mother and two younger brother/ sister - I have a father, a mother and two younger brothers/sisters

If necessary, provide general facts about each family member. Talk about how old they are, what they do, their education, where they live, etc. But don’t get too carried away. The whole story is still about you, and not about your family members.

The next point of our plan concerns education. It will most likely be mandatory in any case. If you are still in school, but you can use the following phrases:

I go to school. I am in the ninth form - I go to school. I'm in ninth grade
I am good at German and Math - I do well in German and mathematics
My favorite subjects are Spanish and Literature - My favorite subjects are Spanish language and literature
