Task 1. You are going 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.

The word ‘tsunami’ can be translated from Japanese as ‘big wave’. It describes a natural process that can be dangerous for people and their homes. Most of the huge waves appear after earthquakes. Most waves are born in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans where volcanoes are active. The mass of water rises from the bottom of the ocean and moves to the shore. It moves at the speed of a plane and can be up to 40 meters high. The wave is very powerful and dangerous. In 2004, a tsunami happened in the Indian Ocean. It was one of most terrible natural disasters in history. It hit 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean. Thousands of people were killed or went missing.

Task 2. Answer the questions
What is your favourite season?
Do you watch weather forecasts? Why?
What weather do you like?
What is the weather in the place where you live right now?
Do you think your city has comfortable weather conditions to live? Why?
How do you understand the Russian phrase: “Nature has no bad weather”?

Task 3.
You are going to give a talk about weather and seasons. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.

Remember to say:
which of the four seasons you like most, and why;
how the Earth’s climate has changed recently;
whether you trust the weather forecast, and why.
