Задание 1 (тексты для чтения вслух)

Task 1

It was used by the Roman officials to transfer information throughout the Empire. Staging posts and a system with horses and carriages meant that messages could move quickly, by using many riders instead of one. It was very important for business and military reasons that good communication system existed. However, the Romans were not the first to realize this. The Chinese and Persian empires used systems of horses and riders more than 500 years before the Romans.

Task 2

They were invented in Great Britain. It was a British man called Rowland Hill who proposed a stamp to be stuck on the letter to identify that postage had been paid. The first stamp was issued in 1840. It was called the Penny Black and the profile of Queen Victoria’s head was depicted there. The stamp cost 1 pence and was darkly coloured. About 65 million Penny Blacks were issued, and nowadays it is not a very rare stamp.

Task 3

English is basically a Germanic language with a lot of Latin words in it. In simple terms, that means that the grammar and many of the most frequent words are Germanic, and the more formal or technical vocabulary is Latinate. The linguistic mixture is a result of historical events. But the simple historical facts appear not to explain everything about the development of the language. One interesting question is why the British did not learn Latin from the Romans.

Task 4

Billions of people speak English, two-thirds of the planet’s scientists write in English, and over 80% of the world’s electronic information is stored in English. But not all the British are really self-satisfied about the status of their language. But they are quite well aware that today it is out of their hands: the reasons for the popularity of English are either lost in history, or something to do with the superpower on the other side of the Atlantic .

Task 5

The early history of Canada is a story of fish and fur. But after the World War II, Canada began to develop its own industries, such as producing cars and airoplanes. Today, Canada is the largest producer of nickel. It supplies the world with iron and copper as well as wood, paper, oil, gold and silver. Canada now has moved swiftly with research and development in fibre optics and communications.

Task 6

Canada"s two official languages are English and French. They are the mother tongue of 60% and 23% of the population respectively. You can notice the both languages on highway signs, maps, tourists" leaflets and all types of packaging. Canadian English contains elements of British English and American English in its vocabulary. The five most widely-spoken non-official languages are Chinese, Punjubi, Spanish, Italian and Arabic.

You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 2 minutes to read it .

The ninth planet of the solar system was discovered not long ago. It happened in 1930. Scientists had been hunting for the planet for a long time. They had calculated its probable position but there was no proof that the planet really existed. It was too far away for the telescopes of that time to find it. It’s worth mentioning that the first photos of the planet were taken by a very young researcher. He was only twenty-four and had no formal education in astronomy. However he was deeply involved in the search for the ninth planet. The planet at the edge of the solar system was called Pluto, after the Roman god. The name for the planet was suggested by an 11-year-old British girl.

Демонстрационный вариант (ОГЭ)

по иностранному языку содержит
задания , по подобию которых будут
строиться задания настоящего экзамена.

Спецификация – по иностранному языку

указывает, какой вид навыков
проверяется в каждом задании.

Кодификатор – содержит требования

к знаниям , которыми необходимо
обладать для успешной сдачи (ОГЭ)
по иностранному языку.

Устная часть ОГЭ по английскому языку в новом формате была введена в 2016 году . Это компьютеризированная часть экзамена. То есть, экзаменуемый будет выполнять задания, которые поочередно будут появляться на экране компьютера. Ответы записываются на электронный носитель, а потом будут проверены экспертами ОГЭ. Во время экзамена общение с экзаменатором не предусмотрено . Поэтому Вам в первую очередь нужно ознакомиться с форматом заданий устной части. Во время подготовки необходимо научиться строго следовать временным рамкам, отведенным на выполнение каждого задания.

Speaking Part

Примерная тематика заданий раздела 5 (Speaking Part) по версии ФИПИ

Общение происходит в рамках следующих сфер общения и примерной тематики:

— социально-бытовая сфера общения : общение в семье и школе, межличностные отношения с друзьями и сверстниками.

— социально-культурная сфера : досуг и увлечения молодежи; страны изучаемого языка; родная страна; выдающиеся люди, их вклад в науку и мировую культуру; природа и проблемы экологии; здоровой образ жизни.

— учебно-трудовая сфера : проблема выбора профессии и роль иностранного языка.

Инструкция по выполнению работы

Устная часть КИМ ОГЭ по английскому языку включает в себя 3 задания.

Задание 1

Чтение вслух небольшого текста научно-популярного характера.

Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты.

Советы:

Прочитайте статьи о правилах чтения и звуков в английском языке. Запомните их и применяйте во время выполнения заданий на экзамене.
Изучите правила расстановки пауз, интонации и логических ударений в английском языке.

Предлагаю Вам посмотреть видео с рекомендациями для подготовки к выполнению Задания 1 Устной части ЕГЭ (11 класс). Задания на ОГЭ и ЕГЭ практически идентичные — чтение вслух текста. Поэтому видео будет полезным для всех, кто готовится к итоговой аттестации по английскому языку.

Задание 2

Вам предлагается принять участие в условном диалоге-расспросе : ответить на шесть услышанных в аудиозаписи вопросов телефонного опроса.

Советы:

Как можно чаще слушайте английскую речь, вырабатывайте навык восприятия английской речи на слух.
Выполняйте задания, опубликованные на сайте ФИПИ.
Обязательно записывайте свои ответы на диктофон, чтобы убедиться, что вы укладываетесь в отведенное для ответа время – 40 секунд на каждый вопрос. Также вы сможете проанализировать свои фонетические и грамматические ошибки, допущенные во время ответа.

Внимание!

Вопросы звучат только один раз!

Текст вопроса на экране не появляется!

Записи делать во время экзамена не разрешается!

Вступительная часть Задания 2 для разных вариантов КИМ одинаковая, за исключением предложения, в котором будет указана тема вашего разговора.

Важно!

Не нажимайте кнопку перехода к следующему вопросу, даже если вы уложились с ответом в более короткий срок, или вовсе не ответили на вопрос. Ждите, когда диктор произнесет следующий вопрос.

Из опыта прошлого года могу сказать, что при нажатии на кнопку «Далее» («NEXT»), переход осуществлялся не к следующему вопросу Задания 2, а сразу к Заданию 3. Следовательно, ученик терял баллы на вопросах из Задания 2, которые просто не услышал.

Задание 3

Вам необходимо построить связное монологическое высказывание на определённую тему с опорой на план.

Время на подготовку – 1,5 минуты.

Внимание!!!

В 2016 и 2017 Задание 3 сопровождалось фотографией, которую НЕ нужно было описыва ть. Она просто служила визуальной опорой для генерирования идей для вашего монологического высказывания.

В 2018 году Задание 3 представлено БЕЗ фотографии!

В вашем монологе обязательно должны присутствовать вступительная и заключительная фразы , связанные с темой высказывания. Общий объем высказывания должен составлять 10 – 12 предложений.

Ваша речь должна быть естественной и спонтанной (без заученных наизусть длинных предложений из топиков). Для этого используйте в своем ответе следующие слова и выражения:

Well, … — Ну …
To tell the truth … — Честно говоря …
To be honest … — Если быть честным …
You know, … — Знаете …
As far as I know, … — Насколько я знаю …
As far as I can see, … — Насколько я могу судить …
Actually, … — На самом деле …
The thing is that … — Дело в том, что …
It’s a kind of … — Это что-то вроде …
I am sure that … — Я уверен, что …
I believe that … — Я полагаю, что …
I think that … — Я думаю, что …
In my opinion … - По моему мнению …
Let me see. — Дайте-ка подумать.
I am not quite sure I know the right answer, … — Я не совсем уверен, что знаю правильный ответ …
Without any doubt, … — Вне всякого сомнения …
It goes without saying that … — Понятно без слов… / Безусловно...
Firstly, … — Во-первых, …
Secondly, … — Во-вторых, …
Thirdly, … — В-третьих, …
Besides, … — Кроме того …
Moreover, … — Более того …
Last but not least, … — Последнее, но не менее важное …
I should say / admit that … — Хочу сказать / отметить, что …
By the way, … — К стати, …
All in all, … — В целом …
In conclusion, … — В заключение …

Избавляемся от архаизмов! To my mind … практически не встречается в современном английском.

Общее время ответа одного участника ОГЭ (включая время на подготовку) – 15 минут . Каждое последующее задание выдаётся после окончания выполнения предыдущего задания. Всё время ответа ведётся аудиозапись. Постарайтесь полностью выполнить поставленные задачи, говорить ясно и чётко, не отходить от темы и следовать предложенному плану ответа. Так вы сможете набрать наибольшее количество баллов.

Практическое выполнение заданий

Ну а теперь приступим к практическому выполнению заданий Устной части из Демонстрационного варианта ОГЭ 2017. Обратите внимание, что в данной статье предложены примерные варианты выполнения заданий с учетом личного опыта моих учеников. Во время подготовки к экзамену постарайтесь продумать свои ответы, которые будут основаны на вашем личном опыте и событиях из вашей жизни.

Task 2 Listen to the model answer

(recorded by my student Oksana Pankova)

Аудиозапись: Adobe Flash Player (версия 9 или выше) требуется для воспроизведения этой аудиозаписи. Скачать последнюю версию . К тому же, в Вашем браузере должен быть включен JavaScript.

Electronic assistant: How old are you?

Student: I am 14 (15) years old.

Electronic assistant: How many times a week do you do sports?

Student: To tell the truth, I am not very good at doing sports. Sometimes I go cycling with my friends at weekends. And of course, I have got three PT classes a week at school and I think it is quite enough for me.

Electronic assistant: What sport is the most popular with teenagers in your region?

Student: Well, I think volleyball is the most popular sport with teens in our region. Practically everyone knows the rules of this game. It can be played both indoors and outdoors. Volleyball competitions often take place in our region. And I am very proud that our men’s team “Belogorie” won the title of Russian Champion eight times.

Electronic assistant: What sports facilities are available in the place where you live?

Student: The thing is that I live in a small village that’s why there is a lack of sports facilities here. Nevertheless we have got a stadium /ˈsteɪdiəm/ and a new sports center where people can do different workouts, play football, volleyball and tennis. Also there are sports grounds near each school. Unfortunately we haven’t got a swimming pool in my settlement.

Electronic assistant: Why do you think it is important to keep fit?

Student: Without any doubt /daʊt/, keeping fit is very important for your body. If you do regular exercises, you can stay healthy, attractive and flexible for a long time. You can also increase your energy levels and improve your mood and memory.

Electronic assistant: What would you advise a person who wants to keep fit?

Student: To my mind, the best way to keep fit is to do regular exercises, no matter what they are: jogging, yoga or riding a bike. Secondly, you should eat healthy food and drink lots of water. Last but not least, you should sleep enough.

Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Enjoy watching!

Task 3

You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences)

Remember to say:

why people like taking pictures
why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
what the best photo you have ever taken is

You have to talk continuously.

Task 3 Listen to the model answer

(recorded by my student Oksana Pankova)

Nowadays lots of people enjoy taking pictures. Some of them are professional photographers, while others consider it as a hobby. (вступление 2)

Actually, our life is full of bright events and unusual moments that’s why people take pictures to capture them. For example, weddings, the birth of a child, visits to different countries, starting or leaving school are much photographed /ˈfəʊtəɡrɑːf/. (2)

Taking pictures is more popular today because practically everyone has a camera built in the cell phone. To be honest, digital cameras are very easy to operate. It’s great that you can look through your snapshot (снимок) immediately and if you don’t like it, you can delete it and take another one. In the past most people could not even afford [əˈfɔːd] a camera. Moreover, the process of taking pictures and printing them was very hard (difficult, time-consuming). (5)

As for me, I am fond of photography and have got a professional camera. The best photo I have ever taken is the photo of the Eiffel [´aifəl] Tower which is the symbol of Paris. I did it three years ago during my summer holiday. (3)

All in all, I should say that people take pictures to remember the best moments of their life forever. (завершающая фраза 1)

А вот и реальные фотографии нашей поездки в Европу в 2014 году.

Как готовиться к устной части ОГЭ по английскому языку?

Я бы советовала не только прорешивать такие варианты заданий, но и зазубрить несколько клише , которые помогут оформить речь при ответе на заковыристые вопросы:

Personally I think …
I prefer …
I’m not very keen on …
In my opinion/view …
My advice would be …
You should/could …
You’d better …

А также при ответе внимательно слушать вопрос и повторять слова и структуру, чтобы не запутаться в грамматике.

Ну и будет просто волшебно, если ученик вспомнит какие-то тематические слова и выражения , поэтому их желательно подучить (в кодификаторе есть список тем, которые должен знать 9-классник).

А также постоянно напоминать ему, что нельзя отвечать односложно и начинать предложение со слова because, а также обращать внимание, что в одном вопросе может содержаться два вопросительных слова, и отвечать в этом случае нужно на оба вопроса (как в вопросе 2 в примере ниже).

А теперь рассмотрим на примере, как делать задание 2.
В задании подчеркнуты вопросительные слова, повторяющиеся почти во всех заданиях этого типа.

Task 2. You are going to take part in a telephone survey. You have to answer six questions. Give full answers to the questions.
Remember that you have 60 seconds to answer each question.

Tapescript for Task 2

Electronic assistant: Hello! It’s the electronic assistant of the Hobby Center. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. We need to find out how

В кодификаторе есть список топиков , на которые должен уметь говорить выпускник 9-го класса, вот он:

Взаимоотношения в семье
Взаимоотношения с друзьями и в школе
Внешность и характеристики человека
Досуг и увлечения (спорт, музыка, чтение, посещение театра, кинотеатра, дискотеки, кафе). Молодежная мода
Покупки. Карманные деньги
Переписка
Школьная жизнь. Изучаемые предметы и отношение к ним. Каникулы. Школьные обмены
Проблемы выбора профессии и роль иностранного языка
Страна/страны изучаемого языка и родная страна. Их географическое положение, климат, население, города и села, достопримечательности.
Страна/страны изучаемого языка и родная страна. Их культурные особенности (национальные праздники, знаменательные даты, традиции, обычаи)
Выдающиеся люди родной страны и стран изучаемого языка, их вклад в науку и мировую культуру
Путешествие по странам изучаемого языка и по России
Технический прогресс
Глобальные проблемы современности
Средства массовой информации (пресса, телевидение, радио, Интернет)
Природа и проблемы экологии. Здоровый образ жизни

Надо их проштудировать по любому англоязычному учебнику (мне нравятся Gateway B1+ , New Opportunities: Pre-Intermediate или Solutions: Pre-Intermediate , попутно вбивая в голову ученика устойчивые выражения для общения на ту или иную тему. Здесь особо усердствовать не стоит, не более 10 фраз, хорошо отработанных, вполне хватит. Экзамен - всегда стресс, дай бог три выражения из списка вспомнятся.

И периодически тренировать это задание (можно использовать задание 1 из прошлогоднего ОГЭ, примеры к нему есть в свободном доступе в Интернете в неограниченном количестве), положив перед глазами ученика секундомер с выставленными 2 минутами. Обязательно после выполнения задания заставлять его рефлексировать - ответил ли он на все поставленные вопросы, было ли в ответе вступление и заключение, какие тематические выражения и слова-связки использовал.

Свой ответ, еще раз повторюсь, следует строить по схеме : вступление - ответ на три вопроса по порядку - заключение + тематические выражения и слова-связки.

Пример

Для наглядности хочу привести пример, как бы я ответила на задание 3 устной части ОГЭ.

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes.
Remember to say:
why people like taking pictures ∙
why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past ∙
what the best photo you have ever taken is ∙
You have to talk continuously.

Ответ :

Now I’m going to give a talk about photography.

In my opinion , taking pictures is really popular now. Many of my friends and classmates have cameras in their mobiles which they use to take photos of everything they like.

Today taking photos is more popular than it was in the past because cameras are less expensive and many people can afford them. You can even take pictures using camera in your mobile! Also , there are a lot of social networks, for example Facebook or Vkontakte where people post photos and share them with friends.
Personally I have one really great photo. It was taken last year in Rome. You can see my mother and me on it. We are standing near a beautiful fountain in the center of the city. The sun is shining and we are smiling.

In the end I would like to say that taking photos helps us save one of the most precious things in life - our memories, which can always be with us when we look at this or that picture.

А теперь разберем ответ .

Коммуникативная задача: на все три вопроса дан ответ.

Организация высказывания: слова-связки присутствуют, есть вступительная и финальная фразы (выделены курсивом).

Языковое оформление: лексика - использованы тематические слова и выражения - take pictures, photos, photography, post photos.

Грамматика - употреблены три времени - Present Simple, Present Continuous (при описании фото) и Past Simple, сравнительная степень (less expensive), превосходная степень (the most precious), пассивный залог (was taken), модальный глагол can.

Разнообразные грамматические структуры добавляют привлекательности ответу, и после того, как само задание будет оттренировано, надо заставлять ученика разнообразить оформление своего ответа.

Чтение вслух

В конце статьи поделюсь секретами подготовки к первому заданию устной части ОГЭ, а именно - как успеть прочитать фрагмент текста за заветные 120 секунд.

Допустим, освоили вы правила чтения, но в 2 минуты все равно не укладываетесь. Что делать? Очевидно, отчитывать тексты. Сама их подбираю (текст должен быть научно-публицистический), вот пример:

Computers have been around for over sixty years and they have changed our lives. It is a well-known fact that the first modern computer began operating in the USA in 1945. This huge machine was the size of a large room. It was also very slow and so complicated to use that only an expert could operate it. That’s very different from modern PCs which are so user-friendly that anyone can use them.

During the 1970s, tiny electronic microchips became more common. By the 1980s and 90s, home computers were becoming smaller, faster and cheaper. As a result, more people bought them, so computers became more wide-spread.

(Взяла из Activate B1)

И отрабатываем чтение вслух вот так:

Ученик читает про себя, думая над незнакомыми словами и где поставить паузу (даю 1.5 минуты, как и на ОГЭ).
Читает вслух, я корректирую правильность, потом вместе разбираем деление фрагмента на смысловые паузы. Обращаю внимание ученика, за сколько он прочитал текст первый раз.
Затем следует предпоследнее чтение, красивое и правильное, где я не обращаю внимания на скорость.
А в последний раз ученик должен и прочитать правильно, и уложиться в 2 минуты. Если этого сделать не получается, стараюсь вызвать чувство стыда и желание в следующий раз справиться лучше.

Кстати, чтение вслух и говорение тесно связаны. Чем быстрее темп речи, тем лучше читаешь вслух. Поэтому крайне полезно пересказывать все, к чему душа лежит - биографию любимого певца, содержание интересной книги или сери ала.

В заключительной части статьи обсудим последнее задание устной части ОГЭ и подумаем, как увеличить скорость чтения на английском языке.

Монолог с опорой

Это задание устной части экзамена осталось почти таким же, каким и было в прошлом году (task 1), только к нему привинтили картинку по смыслу, чтоб было больше похоже на ЕГЭ.

На подготовку дается 1,5 минуты, и нужно отвечать не более двух минут , иначе не засчитают фрагмент задания, который выходит за пределы временного интервала.

За задание можно отхватить 7 баллов и“оценивается оно по трем критериям : решение коммуникативной задачи (здесь крайне важно развернуто рассказать о всех трех аспектах, упомянутых в задании и не игнорировать вопросы why?), организация высказывания (высказывание должно быть логично выстроено и объединено в единое целое с помощью связок (примеры связок уже приводила в этой ), должны присутствовать вступительная и финальная фразы и языковое оформление (требуется продемонстрировать разнообразный словарный запас и различные грамматические структуры, соответствующие уровню языка А2 (pre-intermediate) для ОГЭ” ().

И, ВНИМАНИЕ, если Вы получаете 0 за коммуникативную задачу (не отвечаете на два вопроса из трех или перескакиваете на другую тему), все задание оценивается в 0 баллов.

Как к нему готовиться

Вся устная часть, как и в ЕГЭ, будет записываться на компьютер, поэтому надо все тренировать и доводить употребление выражений до автоматизма. Ученик и так нервничает, а если еще заболеет перед экзаменом или с подружкой поругается – вообще кошмар.

Если у Вас есть какие-то свои секреты подготовки к устной части ОГЭ, делитесь, буду очень признательна!

Всем удачи и учеников!

Test 1 FAMILY LIFE

A British family has recently celebrated the birth of their 18th child. It was a girl and her brothers and sisters have welcomed their new sister. Her eldest brother is 26 and the parents already have two grandchildren. The family announced the birth of the child on their family website. They described the girl as “beautiful”. The family owns a bakery and hopes the children will take over the family business. It looks as if the era when the average British family would have only two or three children is over. In Britain there are more families with four children than anywhere else in Europe. Social scientists say that this is the result of immigration into the country of families from Asia and Africa.

Test 2 APPEARANCE AND LOOKS

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.

Everybody knows that our appearance matters in what people think about us. Appearance is important not only in a romantic relationship but also in politics. Appearance is not all about beauty. The moment we see a person our mind starts evaluating their personality according to their looks. What especially matters is the persons face. This means that the impression somebody’s face makes on others can cost the person his or her political career. When we vote for a candidate we think that we are weighing his or her personal qualities. In fact, we are examining their face. Research has shown that if a candidate’s appearance displays competence, power and leadership, but not beauty or good looks, it can cause a political victory or defeat. These findings are really important.

Task 1.2

Test 3 OCCUPATIONS AND HOBBIES

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.

There are some very rare occupations that may seem strange to somebody while in reality they are interesting and even tasty. One such profession is a chocolate engineer. When you hear the word “engineer” what comes up in your mind is perhaps heavy machinery. A chocolate engineer does not have anything to do with either machinery or the heavy equipment industry. Chocolate engineers design chocolates. This profession is chosen by those who love designing things, have a good imagination and a good sense of taste. The job of a chocolate engineer is to create an assortment of delicious chocolate recipes. They taste their products first. Another tasty occupation is a tea taster. Such specialists are very important in the tea industry because tea must be examined for quality.

Test 4 PURCHASES AND POCKET MONEY

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.

Small children can understand money. They get the idea that in order to buy something you have to pay for it. Also, they know that in order to have money you have to earn it. Of course, kids can’t earn their own money yet and that is why parents start giving pocket money to their children at a certain age. Apart from fun, pocket money can be a great tool for teaching children the art of budgeting, saving money and setting goals. Besides, children can be taught how to donate small sums to charity. In other words, pocket money can be used to teach small children decision-making but children should not be paid for obeying their parents or for helping them about the house.

Test 5 EMAILING, TEXTING AND CHATTING

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.

Mobile phones have become very popular and texting is taking the lead. In many situations sending text messages called SMS via the telephone is more preferable than emailing somebody. Unlike emails, SMS texts are delivered alerting the telephone owner to the arrival of a new message. Not many of us check their email on a regular basis while SMS texts have a sense of urgency and we must answer them at once. Besides, texting is used for personal contacts while emails are often the channel of business communication. A great advantage of SMS texts is that they can be sent from any location thanks to the mobile device in your pocket. You do not have to sit in front of a computer or carry a heavy laptop with you.

One of the oldest schools in the world is a school in China. It was organized in the year 143 BC and it was the first Chinese public school. Soon after that the building of the school was destroyed in a fire but the school was rebuilt a couple of years later. This was not the end for the tests of life for this school. The school was destroyed by wars many times and only ruins remained but each time it was rebuilt again and again. It survived hurricanes and earthquakes, blizzards and storms. In the twentieth century it was called a model for secondary schools nationwide. For many Chinese students it is a great honour to study at that school. Would you like to study in such a school?

Later travellers learned how to train four-footed animals like the horse or the camel and travelling became a little more comfortable. These days people travel in comfort and nearly every country in the world has a network of railways and air connections.

Test 13 GLOBAL PROBLEMS

Over the last 50 years the human population has increased nearly three times and as a result we have been using a lot more water than before. Besides, industrial waste has polluted much of the fresh water resources. Agriculture demands its share of water as well. This means that the water supply is decreasing. Less fresh water on the planet means not only thirst but also hunger. The reason is that human beings depend upon fish and animals for food. If fish and wildlife become extinct, we may face extinction ourselves. A debate is now going on about what causes the shortage of water. Global warming is factor number one. People from different cultures have to work together or face mutual destruction.

Robots start to play an active role in the medical check-ups of patients. They can even do it at a distance if a patient is very far away from the hospital.

After the examination of the patient, the robot can put all the results on record for the doctor to see and make further instructions to the medical staff.
