Письменное высказывание: напишите краткую статью в школьную газету. Comment on the following statement. A person who is fluent in a foreign language can easily work as an interpreter. What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? Write 100–140 words. Use the following plan: − make an introduction (state the problem) − express your personal opinion and give 2–3 reasons for your opinion − make a conclusion restating your position . Sample 1  Can you speak English fluently? If it’s so, is it easy to work as an interpreter? “Yes” is the mostly often heard answer. Is it really so? Firstly, to be a good interpreter means to be good at making personal contacts and listening. The knowledge of the topic you have to translate is also quite important. So you can understand an interlocutor much better. Secondly, the importance of fluent speaking in a foreign language is necessary. But don’t be afraid to make a mistake in grammar or use a wrong word. It’s also possible to use gestures, mimicry and the description of a thing or an action. Finally, if you aren’t a very fluent English speaker but have to act as an interpreter, don’t be shy, use any chance to practice. It’s the best way to master your speaking skills. 140 words ________________________________________________________________________________________ Sample 2 Dear readers! Are you fluent in English? Have you ever thought about working as an interpreter? Well, I have and let me express my opinion. Imagine you are good at English and have communication skills that help you a lot at your English lessons. But is that enough to be an interpreter? To my mind, all the qualities mentioned above are really necessary, but to become a professional, you need profound knowledge in different spheres of life. Firstly, you will have to communicate with people of other cultures. Secondly, interpreters work in a variety of settings, from museums and art galleries to hospitals and police offices. In addition, you should be very resourceful as you may get into unpredictable situations. Can you cope with all these responsibilities? To sum up, I would argue that a person who is fluent in a foreign language can easily work as an interpreter. 147 words
