I took this photo last summer when I went to London during my holidays.
In the foreground of this photo you can see the London Eye which is the largest observation wheel in Europe. It is located on the south bank of the river Thames. There are two motor boats on the river. In the background you can see some modern buildings.
As you can see the day is dull and gloomy and the sky is grey with clouds. It looks like it's going to rain what is very typical for London. But nevertheless there are always a lot of people waiting for a ride on this popular attraction. There are 32 (thirty-two) capsules on the wheel which are rotating very slowly. Ech capsule contains 25 (twenty-five) people.
I took this photo because it is a well-known landmark of London. From the very top of the London Eye we had a stunning view of this magnificent city. We saw the river Thames, the Houses of Parliament with its famous Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and other sites.
As my friend has never been to London, I decided to show him this picture and to share all my impressions of this terrific flight with him.
That's all I wanted to say. (Закончите свой ответ этой фразой, которая будет сигналом завершения коммуникации.)
Примерный ответ (фото № 3):
I've chosen photo number 3. (Обязательно начните ответ с этой фразы, предварительно выбрав номер фотографии.)
It is very lovely, isn't it? I took this photo last summer when I went to Moscow to visit my relatives. It was my first trip to the capital of our country and I wanted to see as many historical places as possible.
In the background of this picture you can see the Cathedral of St.Basil the Blessed. Its tremendous domes struck my imagination. It's unbelievable but none of them is like the others. Each dome has its own shape and colur. Once I have read a legend that Ivan the Terrible blinded the architects Barma and Postnik because he didn't want them to create another masterpiece. There is a lot of greenery in the courtyard of the Cathedral. In front of the Cathedral there is a monument to Minin and Pozharsky.
The Cathedral and the monument are situated in Red Square. There are always a lot of tourists from different countries who want to visit these places. But now you cannot see any visitors because it was early morning.
I took this photo because these sights are famous landmarks of Moscow.
As my friend is fond of history and often makes reports for history classes, I think, he can use this picture for his school project.
That's all I wanted to say. (Закончите свой ответ этой фразой, которая будет сигналом завершения коммуникации.)
Примерный ответ (фото № 2):
I've chosen photo number 2. (Обязательно начните ответ с этой фразы, предварительно выбрав номер фотографии).
Изучив примерные ответы, самостоятельно опишите фотографию № 2.
Как видно из приведенных ответов, вам понадобятся не только знания языка, но, возможно, и жизненный опыт. В случае если такового не окажется, что мало вероятно, воспользуйтесь своими знаниями из других предметов, например, истории, географии, литературы или искусства.
Итак, подведем итог :
1) Время на выполнение этого задания весьма ограничено – 1.5 минуты на подготовку и 2 минуты на ответ. Во время подготовки у Вас НЕ будет возможности делать какие-либо записи и пометки. Отсюда вывод – крайне полезно заучить необходимые клише для беглости речи:
In the picture you can see…
On the left / on the right of the picture…
In the foreground of the picture… (на переднем плане)
In the background of the picture… (на заднем плане)
In the middle of the picture… (в середине)
At the top of the picture… (вверху)
At the bottom of the picture… (внизу)
Next to (рядом с)
Behind (позади)
Near (около)
Under (под)
In front of (перед)
Уместными будут обороты There is.../There are… Хочу обратить внимание, что после оборота в ед. числе нужно употреблять неопределенный артикль “a” перед исчисляемыми существительными.
e. g. There is a ticket office near the Eiffel Tower.
2) Отвечаянавопросплана “when you took the photo”, используйте Past Simple Tense (простоепрошедшеевремя). Помните, что вы были фотографом, а поэтому (ну, конечно, если это не селфи) вам нужно описать людей на вашем фото (родственников, друзей, знакомых или незнакомых вам людей), а не себя любимого.
e. g. I took this photo two months ago when I went to Paris to study French.
3) Придерживайтесь заданной темы высказывания. Для этого внимательно ознакомьтесь с заданием. Например: Imagine that you are preparing a presentation about London (Russia) или Imagine that you are preparing a school newspaper about Art.
4) Отвечая на вопрос плана “what/who is in the photo”, постарайтесь описать не только внешний вид человека, но и, предположительно, его настроение (грустный – sad, счастливый – happy, серьезный – serious, злой – angry). Обратите внимание на погодные условия на фото (солнечный – sunny, жаркий – hot, теплый – warm, пасмурный – gloomy , дождливый – rainy, холодный – cold, морозный – frosty день). Назовите время года (месяц), когда вы сделали снимок.
5) Как видно вопрос What is happening in the picture? стоит в Present Progressive Tense, поэтому при описании происходящих событий на фотографии, используйте также глаголы в форме настоящего длительного времени, подкрепляя свой ответ фразой At this particular moment… (именно в этот момент…). Так же вы можете продолжить свое повествование в Past Simple Tense.
6) Продумайтенескольковариантовответовнавопрос “why you took this photo”: I took this photo to remember the best moments and places of my journey. / I think this picture will remind me about my new foreign friends I met during my visit to Scotland (Italy, Egypt etc) and wonderful days we spent together.
7) Помните, ваше описание не должно быть слишком детальным, потому что вы можете не уложиться в отведенное для ответа время. В процессе подготовки записывайте свои ответы, а затем проговаривайте их, используя таймер. Таким образом, вы сформируете чувство времени, которое вам необходимо для ответа на задание 3 устной части ЕГЭ по английскому языку.
You will have to start speaking in 1.5 minutes and will speak not more than 2 minutes.

I took this photo in one of the beautiful parks in Edinburgh when I was on my trip to Scotland two years ago. It is quite amazing, isn't it?
In the foreground of the photo you can see two girlfriends spending their free time hanging around. They might study or work together. They seem to be in a good mood. They both are wearing all Scottish style suits, but the girl on the right who's got blond hair is wearing a yellow tartan, while the girl on the left has got a black-and-white pattern. Moreover, she's got an incredible hat which perfectly matches the rest of her clothing. The most stunning thing that caught my eye was her hair done in dreadlocks. In her right hand she is holding a black handbag made of leather.
In the background of the picture there are a lot of green trees with bushy (thick) crown. It was early September and it happened to be a very warm and sunny day. But nevertheless some people put on their jackets because the weather is very changeable and unpredictable on the British Isles. The man on the right who is wearing a checked shirt might be a tourist because he has got a blue backpack. As you can see at this particular moment the place is not overcrowded, so I think, it is great to enjoy your leisure time with your nearest and dearest in such a place.
I asked the girls to take their picture because I liked the style they were dressed up and I decided to show it to you because you are also keen on wearing unusual and freakish hats and maybe, the picture will give you some new ideas.
That is all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)

I took this photo during my winter holidays when we went to the ski resort in the Caucasus. After the Winter Olympic Games 2014, Sochi attracts lots of tourists both from Russia and from around the world.
In the foreground of the picture you can see two children: a boy and a girl. They came here from Novosibirsk. They told me that they had started to ski when they were only three years old, that's why they look very confident on the snowy mountain slopes. The children are wearing bright ski suits made of special fabrics that protect them from cold and at the same time are very light that helps them move quickly. They also have all the necessary skiing equipment for this kind of sport such as alpine skis, plastic boots with special bindings, helmets, ski poles and goggle mounts.
In the background of the picture you can see mountain peaks covered with snow and some kind of pines. You can't see the mountains quite well from behind the clouds but it is a common phenomenon in this area.
At the very particular moment the children are learning a new downhill technique. And now they stopped for a while to take breath. Sometimes I saw them landing in a fall but they went to square one again and again. They didn't give up, so I should admit that they have got strong willpower. As you can see they look very healthy and happy. I believe that it's very useful to take up to sport from childhood. This will teach you to overcome difficulties in life, will teach you to win or to lose.
I took this photo because we made friends with the family from Novosibirsk and their cute kids and I want to remember the beautiful moments of my vacation.
I decided to show you this photo because I want you to appreciate these two young sportsmen and the beauty of the Caucasus Mountains.
That is all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)

I took this photo in London Zoo when I was on my trip to the UK a year ago. To tell the truth, I’m not very good at photography but this picture turned out to be a beautiful one.
In the foreground of the picture you can see a colony of pelicans. You can’t but agree with me that pelicans are large birds with very long beaks. They have a long neck and short stout legs with webbed feet. The tail is short and square. They have pale plumage with some grey feathers on the wings.
On the left of the picture there is a pond where the birds can swim. The zoo keeper told us a lot of interesting things about pelicans. She explained us that some species could make their nests in the trees while the others nest on the ground. It was interesting to know that they can fly but cannot dive because of their light skeleton. I also learnt that pelicans live up to 25 years in the wild and up to 40 years in captivity. But the most amazing fact is that pelicans never store their food in their throat pouch contrary to popular folklore. They use it for catching fish.
In the background of the picture you can see a girl taking photos. At this particular moment the birds are cleaning their feathers after being fed. Guess what! We were allowed to give them some fish and it was really exciting! All in all the weather was warmish and I had a great time there.
I took this photo because I had never seen those birds before in real life and wanted to remember all places I had visited in London.
I decided to show you this photo because you are interested in photography and have got a big collection of snapshots of birds. I think, it would be great if you could add my picture to it.
That’s all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)
