      Открытый банк заданий ОГЭ-9

    Английский язык

                        Письмо

    В соответствии со стандартом основного общего образования по иностранным языкам выпускник IX класса общеобразовательного учреждения должен овладеть некоторыми умениями в письменной речи, а именно: научиться писать письмо личного характера (расспрашивать адресата о его жизни, делах, сообщать то же самое о себе, выражать благодарность, извинения, просьбу), используя материал тем, усвоенных в устной речи, употребляя формулы речевого этикета, принятые в стране изучаемого языка. В основном государственном экзамене по иностранным языкам предусмотрено написание личного письма (объёмом 100-120 слов), которое является ответом на письмо друга по переписке из страны изучаемого языка. Вниманию учащегося предлагается отрывок из письма друга, содержащий новость/сообщение и 3 вопроса,  на которые следует ответить. Для объективности оценивания задания 33 были разработаны единые критерии оценивания. Написанное личное письмо учащегося оценивается по следующим критериям: решение коммуникативной задачи (К1), организация текста (К2), лексико-грамматическое оформление текста (К3), орфография и пунктуация (К4). Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно набрать за личное письмо – 10 баллов. Образцы писем в школьных учебниках  часто не соответствуют данным критериям и, пользуясь только учебниками,  нельзя выполнить это задание должным образом.

Написание письма на английском языке  является не очень сложным заданием и выполнять его необходимо максимально быстро, чтобы осталось время для выполнения других заданий. Но очень часто учащиеся  даже не приступают к его выполнению, так как считают написание письма  чуть ли не самым трудным. Данное  методическое пособие является актуальным на данный момент, так как предназначено для подготовки учащихся к заданию 33 ОГЭ  «Личное письмо».  Каждое задание находится на отдельной странице и его можно распечатывать для каждого ученика индивидуально, выбирая необходимую страницу. Работа начинается  с изучения текста задания, затем идёт знакомство с форматом письма, с клише, необходимыми для написания письма, после этого - примеры ответов на вопросы, задания для самостоятельного написания писем. Задания рассчитаны на среднего учащегося,  но при желании можно усложнить лексику, но даже при таком подходе можно получить наибольшее количество баллов (10 баллов).

 Для  обучения письменной речи, а к таковой относится и личное письмо, используются следующие принципы обучения иностранным языкам:

Общедидактические  принципы обучения ИЯ:

Принцип личностно ориентированной направленности обучения.

1)  усвоение учащимся социального опыта, т.е. знаний, навыков и умений, которые необходимы для нормальной жизнедеятельности в обществе, конкретном социуме;

2) стимулирование способности школьника к свободному и творческому мышлению;

3) формирование у школьника мировоззрения, создание целостной картины мира во всем его многообразии;

4) развитие умения осознанно планировать свое развитие, понимание динамики последнего и самостоятельное обучение;

5) формирование в ученике системы личностных свойств и качеств, способствующих его саморазвитию: мотивацию, рефлексию, системные знания как средство контроля сформированности картины мира и др.

Принцип сознательности. Содержание данного принципа состоит в том, что учащиеся осознают осваиваемые действия и операции с языковым материалом (прежде всего грамматическим).

Принцип творческой направленности при обучении ИЯ. Процесс овладения ИЯ есть творческий процесс, а не процесс механической выработки речевых навыков, не «запрограммированное поведение».

Четвертый дидактический принцип связан с деятельностным характером обучения вообще и иностранным языком в частности. Его содержание сводится к следующему: обучение иностранным языкам, нацеленное на формирование у учащихся способности к межкультурной коммуникации, должно носить деятельностный характер, который выражается во внешней и внутренней (умственной) активности учащегося.

Основная задача учителя при реализации анализируемого принципа заключается в том, чтобы помочь каждому ученику осознать свой индивидуальный путь усвоения языка/овладения им.

Методические принципы обучения ИЯ:

Принцип коммуникативной направленности обучения. Его содержательная сущность сведена к следующему: обучение иностранным языкам должно быть ориентировано на формирование у обучающегося черт би/поликультурной языковой личности, делающих его способным равноправно и автономно участвовать в межкультурном общении.

Второй методический принцип может быть сформулирован следующим образом: усвоение учащимся изучаемого языка как средства межкультурного общения возможно лишь в условиях общения, приближающегося по своим основным характеристикам к реальному общению. Данный принцип имеет много общего с принципом взаимосвязанного обучения устной речи, чтению и письму.

Принцип  ориентации на исходную лингвокультуру учащегося, содержание которого сводится к тому, что «владение родным языком учащимся следует использовать при обучении иностранному языку. Реализация данного принципа способствует тому, что учащийся, осваивая новый язык, расширяет границы своего мировосприятия и мироощущения.

Все эти принципы использовались для создания  заданий данного пособия.

Задания писем взяты с сайта ФИПИ. Данное методическое пособие использовалось в 2017, 2018 учебных годах  для подготовки учащихся МОУ Расловская  СОШ  к ОГЭ,  наименьший балл, полученный  на экзамене за задание 33, был 7, наивысший -10.                                 

Итак, давайте начнём с задания.

 Сам текст задания   один и тот же:

You have 30 minutes to do this task. - У вас есть 30 минут, чтобы выполнить это задание.

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, ( Ben).- Вы получили письмо от англоязычного друга по переписке (Бэна). Имя друга  в письмах будет меняться. В обращении пишите только то имя, которое указано в задании.

Далее идёт само  письмо. Оно обычно состоит из двух абзацев.

…. My older brother has decided to collect mugs, imagine that. He has already got eight mugs from different places he has visited. It’s a nice collection but it takes up so much room …

 …Why do people collect things? What do you collect or what would you like to collect? What other hobbies are popular with teenagers in your country? …

2.      Основная часть письма состоит из 2-х абзацев. В ней вы должны раскрыть все аспекты задания, т.е. ответить  на 3 вопроса. Так как  письмо неофициальное не забудьте использовать неформальные слова-связки well, by the way, anyway, so, and,because, but (Начиная отвечать на вопросы можно использовать фразу: In your letter you asked me (about)….) Если в вопросе есть вопросительное слово why, то в ответе обязательно должно быть слово  because.

3.       В последнем абзаце вам следует объяснить, почему вы заканчиваете письмо.

Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. или
(Anyway, I have to go now because my Mum asked me to help her with the washing up.)

И упомянуть о последующих контактах

В конце письма на отдельной строке напишите завершающую фразу

Love, или

Best wishes, или

Yours,

На следующей строке под завершающей фразой укажите своё  имя  (без фамилии!). Например:

Olga                                                       Точка после имени не ставится!

Dear Ben,

Thanks a lot for your last letter. I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. I’m glad to hear your brother has got a nice mug collection.

So, people collect different things because it is interesting for them and they want to have a useful  hobby. As for me, I've got a big coin collection, there're more than five hundred coins in it. By the way, Russian teenagers are interested in music, sport, travelling, making friends in social nets. These hobbies are very popular with them.

Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. Drop me a letter when you can.

Dear Maх,

Thanks a lot for your last letter. I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school.  It's interesting to read your letter about robots.

As for me, I would like a robot to clean the house, load the washing machine, heat the food in the microwave and bring it to me and my parents. By the way, robots can  be used for  working in different branches of the modern world: medicine, space, manufacturing. So, I don't like watching science fiction films because they are dull for me.

I have never seen animals in the wild only in the zoo.

Dear Emma,

Thanks a lot for your last letter. I'm sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. I am happy you liked your visit to a museum very much.

As for me, I think that visiting a museum is a very interesting thing because people can see a lot of usual and unusual items from different times and places. Then, in the museum they can learn to understand a beautiful world of art. So, if I had a chance, I would like to set up a museum of people's handicraft to show what people can make with their own hands in their free time. As for me, I like doing sports or hanging out with my friends in my free time.

Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. Drop me a letter when you can.

Dear  Emily,

Thanks a lot for your last letter. I am sorry I haven't answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. I hope that you have written your test.

As for me, chemistry is the most difficult subject for me.  I do not understand these complex chemical formulas and equations. Well, I watch English films with English subtitles, listen to English audiobooks, read English books, learn vocabulary to improve my English. By the way, I would like to learn the Chinese language because it is very common now all over the world. A lot of people try to learn the Chinese language although it is very difficult.

Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. Drop me a letter when you can.
