Пример письма
Hi Alex,
I usually spend my free time with friends. We often play football or go to the cinema. This week I am reading a fantasy book. Last month I read a detective story. It was exciting. While I was reading it, I didn’t want to stop. I used to read only comics, but now I like different genres. What about you?
Best wishes,
Ivan
Как проверять и что повторить
- Present Simple vs Present Continuous: смотрите на маркеры: usually, every Friday, on Sundays → Present Simple; now, Look! → Present Continuous. Глаголы чувства и понимания (love, like, understand) обычно не ставят в Continuous.
- Past Simple vs Past Continuous: Past Simple — законченное действие; Past Continuous — процесс в момент в прошлом или фон. С while часто Past Continuous, с when — Past Simple для «перебивающего» действия.
- used to: used to + V1; отрицание — didn’t use to; вопрос — Did … use to?
- Лексика: проверяйте не перевод, а сочетаемость: hang out, seat belt, look both ways, book a table, science fiction.
- Письмо: 2 балла за содержание, 2 — за грамматику, 2 — за лексику, 2 — за оформление письма.
