Interviewer: Hello everybody! It’s Teenagers Round the World Channel. Our guest today is a teenager from Russia and we are going to discuss sports. We’d like to know our guest’s point of view on this issue. Please answer five questions. So, let’s get started.

Interviewer: What region of Russia do you live in? Are there any prominent sports teams there?

Interviewer: What else could you tell about your region?

Interviewer: What kinds of sports are popular in Russia? Which aren’t?

Interviewer: What kind of sports is your favourite? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) I live in Saint Petersburg. The local football team “Zenit” is one of the most popular teams in Russia.

2) The architecture of my city holds high historical significance. It is also considered the cultural capital of Russia.

3) Football and hockey are tremendously popular in Russia. Sports like golf and cricket have fewer players interested in them.

4) I personally love football and consider it my favourite. I enjoy it because it tests both your physical skills and your ability to strategise.

5) Most of my friends are heavily involved in sports. Most of them play football, while some enjoy hockey.

Task 3. You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2−3 sentences). Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Interviewer: Hello everybody! It’s Teenagers Round the World Channel. Our guest today is a teenager from Russia and we are going to discuss hobbies. We’d like to know our guest’s point of view on this issue. Please answer five questions. So, let’s get started.

Interviewer: Could you tell us what is unusual about Russia?

Interviewer: What kinds of hobbies do people usually have in your country?

Interviewer: What is your first hobby? Do you still do it?

Interviewer: How do you spend your free time now?

Interviewer: What hobby would you like to pick up in the future? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) I would say that the character of Russian people is fairly unusual. They are a bit harsh when you meet them, but they are extremely friendly after you get to know them.

2) Many people in Russia usually play various sports in their spare time. Reading and watching TV are also popular.

3) My first hobby was reading. I still do it from time to time, but I read the most when I was in elementary school.

4) I usually play football with my friends in the schoolyard. As I already mentioned, I also read from time to time.

5) I want to learn to play the piano in the coming years. I love classical music and I was never able to play it myself, so this skill would bring me great enjoyment.

Interviewer: How do you get along with your peers?

Interviewer: What are the benefits of friendship?

Interviewer: Where did you meet your best friend? How long have you known each other?

Interviewer: How do you communicate with your friends?

Interviewer: How do you spend time together?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) Sometimes I have some arguments with my classmates, but overall, I get along with them quite well. They are smart and funny, so I enjoy spending time with them.

2) Friends can help you out in a moment of need and get you through tough moments in your life. The best support that you can get comes from the people who are close to you, which is the greatest benefit of friendship.

3) I’ve met my best friend in the first grade, when we both first went to school. We’ve known each other for 11 years now.

4) I prefer to talk to my friends in real life, if possible. However, when that is not possible, we communicate via social media.

5) We usually play football and other sports. Sometimes, we also spend time watching movies.

Task 3. You are going to give an interview. You have to answer five questions. Give full answers to the questions (2−3 sentences). Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.

Interviewer: What are the dangers of extreme sports?

Interviewer: Which kinds of extreme sports are popular in Russia? Which aren’t?

Interviewer: If you had to choose, what kind of extreme sports would you try and why?

Interviewer: What benefits do extreme sports provide?

Interviewer: Are you interested in extreme sports? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) Extreme sports can be potentially lethal and provide a high risk of injury. For example, a fall while rock climbing can lead to broken bones or even death.

2) Rock climbing is popular in the mountainous regions of Russia, such as the Caucasus mountains. Surfing is also popular in the regions near seas and oceans. To my mind, skydiving and base jumping are not popular in Russia.

3) I would probably try jumping from a plane with a parachute. It is relatively safe as the instructor would always be strapped to me and will control our descent.

4) Extreme sports can give people new exciting experiences. Moreover, extreme sports let people unwind and combat their fears.

5) I am not interested in extreme sports. First of all, they are too dangerous and I don’t like risking my life. Secondly, they take too much physical preparation to participate in.

Interviewer: What subjects do you consider the most important in schools?

Interviewer: What kind of change would make education in schools better?

Interviewer: How do schools develop people’s social skills?

Interviewer: What is the most important role of school?

Interviewer: Is homework important in the education process? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

1) I consider English to be the most important subject for anyone who wants to travel around the world in their lifetime. I also think that mathematics have a great number of everyday applications and are therefore important.

2) I believe that focusing more on real life application of various subjects would improve our school system. It would more clearly communicate the goal of education to students.

3) From a young age children go to schools and learn to communicate with one another there. School develops their skills to effectively cooperate and build relations.

4) I believe that the most important role of school is teaching children to learn on their own. When they leave school, they will still need to improve their skills, and knowing how to do that is extremely important.

5) I believe that homework is extremely important. It develops responsibility and time management skills in children.

I really don’t get along with most of my peers at school. I find them to be inflexible and opinionated. I won’t talk to them unless I’m talked to first. Sometimes, it’s hard because I’ve recently lost the ability to pronounce certain words, and they ask me if I’m alright.

A lot of them like to start arguments in which I respond, «It takes two to argue. Now there’s one. » and I’ll stop talking to them.

Not very well. Most of them hate me because I am so insensitive and claim I am purposely starting conflicts. If I tried to explain AS to them It would only make matters worse. Most of them view autism as being a disease that destroys your brain and there are no intelligent autistics in the world, and AS is viewed as automatically being an emo. People can be very discriminative sometimes.

Same here, and the things they talk about are stupid, annoying and pointless.

Well, they will never be shaken from the stereotype unless someone interferes. You could break the stereotype for them. If THEY know your a coherent rational human being, and you tell them your AS, maybe they’ll change their tone.

I talk to very few of my peers (I do have a few. um. 3 friends). They (peers, not friends) usually assume I am stuck up and emo (both untrue).

Teachers, however, are a different story. They all like me and I can talk (for the most part) to them easily. They wait for me to get the words out, respond, etc. They understand.

3) Our last family trip was to Vladivostok. We spent two weeks exploring the natural reserves of the Russian Far East and we returned home with lots of souvenirs.

4) I would love to go on a trip to the UK with my parents, who have never been overseas. I have been there already, so I could show them some places there, which is why I think that trip would be great.

5) My family always supported me throughout my educational journey. They have totally agreed with my choice of higher education and career and I can’t thank them enough for that.

3) A balanced diet is vital for keeping healthy. Focusing on proteins and limiting the amount of carbohydrates is a great way to improve your diet in most cases.

4) Sadly, I usually eat too much fast-food and don’t go to the gym regularly. I don’t lead a healthy lifestyle and should try to fix that as soon as possible.

5) My friends usually stay at home and eat junk food, which makes them quite unhealthy. My parents are strong advocates of an active lifestyle and they are much healthier than most people of their age.

Interviewer: What are the benefits of travel?

Interviewer: Would you prefer travelling domestically or internationally? Why?

Interviewer: Who do you usually share your trip with?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

2) The last trip that I’ve taken was to Moscow. I went to the Kremlin and other iconic places and enjoyed it a lot.

3) I believe that travel makes a person more broadminded and knowledgeable. Meeting different people allows you to consider more opinions and positions, other than your own.

4) I prefer to travel internationally. I am fascinated with different cultures of the world and talking to people who have other views on life is extremely interesting to me.

5) I usually travel with my family. I think that together we can more easily explore places that are new to us, while having a piece of home in ourselves the entire time.

Interviewer: What are the main sources of pollution?

Interviewer: How do we reduce the amount of emissions that we output?

Interviewer: What kinds of dangers does global warming present to the world?

Interviewer: Who is more responsible for pollution – companies or individuals? Why?

Interviewer: Thank you very much for your interview.

2) Coal power plants and motor vehicles are the main sources of pollution. Both emit harmful gasses, such as CO2 and CO.

3) We can use advances technology to capture more of the emissions caused by those sources of pollution. We can also limit our reliance on combustion generators and thermal energy plants.

4) Global warming can make such natural disasters as tornados and storms far more frequent. Moreover, it can melt the vast reserves of fresh water stored in the polar ice caps and flood many coastal cities.

5) I believe companies are more responsible for pollution. Of course, individuals contribute to global emissions as well, but companies produce much more pollution than a single individual.
