Пояснительная записка
Последние 10 лет наша российская школа переживает качественно новый этап в своём развитии, который связан с кардинальным изменением задач обучения. Основной целью обучения иностранным языкам в средней школе является формирование, совершенствование и развитие личности, способной к достижению необходимого уровня коммуникативной компетенции. Эффективность обучения во многом определяется уровнем коммуникативных умений.
Контроль уровня сформированности иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции и призван осуществить Единый Государственный Экзамен. Пожалуй, ни одно из нововведений в образовательной системе не вызывает столько волнений, как ЕГЭ.
Важной задачей является разработка и освоение технологий обучения, позволяющих выпускникам достигать хороших результатов на экзамене. Мир новейших информационных технологий занимает всё большее место в образовании. В последние годы всё чаще поднимается вопрос о применении новых педагогических технологий. Педагогическая технология - это системный метод создания, применения и определения всего процесса преподавания и усвоения знаний. В конечном итоге педагогическая технология направлена на оптимизацию форм образования
Задача учителя состоит в том, чтобы создать условия практического овладения языком для каждого учащегося, выбрать такие методы обучения, которые позволили бы каждому ученику проявить свою активность, своё творчество, активизировать познавательную деятельность учащегося в процессе обучения иностранным языкам.
Данный курс предназначен для формирования и контроля грамматических лексических навыков и помогает более качественно подготовиться к Единому Государственному экзамену. Он также поможет закрепить, обобщить и систематизировать знания, умения и навыки, приобретенные учащимися в рамках базового курса, а также овладеть определенным количеством материала по теме «Средства массовой информации» в соответствии с требованиями государственного стандарта. Материал расположен в порядке нарастания сложности от самых простейших до заданий повышенной трудности.

базовый уровень повышенный уровень1. READING
(A)1.
Read the text. Divide it into five sections. Match each paragraph with one of the headings A-F below. There is only one section for each of the headings. One heading is extra.
TELEVISION UNIFIES US
The press, television and radio (media media) play an important part in the life of society. They influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Some people say“, news is not what happens-it is what you see or read in mass media.” In other words, mass media shapes public opinion. (Sometimes it is good, but sometimes it is terribly bad. It depends.)
Millions of people watch TV and read newspapers and magazines in their spare time. Television dominates one’s life if the family watches it most of the time. Television informs, educates and entertains people, but it is also a habit-forming drug impossible to resist.
Various TV shows, such as quiz, and music programmes attract a large audience. During TV programmes the questions are answered by the viewers at home.
Then there are daily TV serials known as soup operas. Some people find them boring, others consider them to be good entertainment and relaxation.
There is also a lot of advertising on TV. A lot of commercial firms buy the time to advertise their goods and services. Advertising often annoys the general public. A firm, a good basketball or football match may be interrupted several times with advertisements for a soap powder or new perfume.
To convince the viewers that a certain product is the best and to persuade them. to buy it takes not only a lot of imagination but also a lot of time. The same commercials are repeated dozens of time every day, which bores the viewers.
Some people say there is too much violence on television, which has a bad influence on young viewers. Television often shows scenes of violence.
But it is hardly fair to say that TV doesn’t try to raise the cultural level of the people or develop their artistic taste. Many TV programmes are excellent: they are made in good taste and with great professional skill. Television brings into millions of homes not only news and entertainment, but also cultural and educational programmes.
Good or bad, television brings the world into our home and brings us closer to other people. Besides, it is good company for people who live alone.
Promoting aggression and mistrust A pleasant way to relax and spend our free time Not only entertainment Time is money Guidelines about watching TV is more real than reality

TELEVISION
The first commercial television broadcast was made on April 20, 1939 by Radio Corporation of America. Since 1939, TV has become one of the most important facts of modern life. Television is very much a part of the modern world and its effects are felt all over the world.
Television is a reflection, say some people, of contemporary society. It affects customs and culture, others say.
Television is bad for society because it keeps culture from growing, say still others. Good or bad, television is difficult to avoid. Its pictures enter homes, stores, airports, and offices. It is here to say.
The Radio Corporation of America is important in the modern world. Television has wide influence. Television is bad for culture, some people say. Television only provides us information but doesn’t affect customs and culture. Some people try to avoid television.

Yes, there are a lot of advertising on TV. But ads are informative. They help you chose the best products. Sometimes they are funny and full of fantasy. TV gives wonderful possibilities for educate.
