Have you ever tasted saltwater? I guess you have and if so, you will agree with me that it’s not very refreshing. In fact, drinking more than a few cups worth can kill you.

According to the United States Geological Survey, whose mission is to collect and disseminate reliable, impartial, and timely information that is needed to understand the nation’s water resources, about ninety-seven percent of the water on our planet is saltwater; the rest is stored in lakes, rivers, glaciers and aquifers underground. Moreover, only about one-third of the world’s potential fresh water can be used for human needs. As pollution increases, the amount of usable water decreases.

Water is the most precious and taken-for-granted resource we have on Earth. It is also one of the most threatened resources. Increased population and possible climate change will put more and more strain on supplies of this vital resource as time goes on. What could we do in this situation? Though it may seem like science fiction, the solution could lie in outer space.

I'm not saying we’re going to be teleporting to a spring on the other side of the galaxy or colonizing another planet just to have longer showers - it’s much more mundane than that. What we could achieve realistically in this century is the successful use of the solar system's rare metals and water, barring the invention of the matrix.

You may be surprised to learn that the metal in your keys, coins, cell phone, computer, car and everywhere else, originally came to this planet from space. When Earth formed, the heavy metals sank to the center and formed a solid core. The lighter elements formed the mantle and the crust we live on. Asteroids and comets that struck the Earth brought water and metals to the surface.

There are thousands of asteroids orbiting near Earth. Most asteroids are made of rock, but some are composed of metal, mostly nickel and iron. Probes could be sent out to these to identify useful ones. Then larger probes could push them towards the Earth where they can be handled in orbit.

In order to fuel ships and probes, we simply need to find a source of water, such as a comet or the surface of the moon. We collect the water and pass an electric current through it from a solar panel. The water separates into oxygen and hydrogen, which in liquid form is a powerful rocket fuel.

Is this really possible? We may soon find out. Private company SpaceX has already started delivering equipment to the International Space Station (ISS).

The ISS is proof that countries once at each other’s throats, like America and Russia, can work together and pull off multi-billion dollar projects.

Recently, a company called Planetary Resources Inc. made the news for getting big names like Google and Microsoft to invest in exploring asteroids for material gain. Although it will take many decades, it is wise to put the gears in motion now.

We've already landed probes on the surface of asteroids and taken samples from them. We can put something as large as the ISS, which weighs just short of 500 tons, according to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in orbit.

We can make a half-million-mile round-trip to get rocks from the moon. We can do all of these things already. They just need to be applied and developed in a smart way.

Today, the most popular language for passing the exam consider English. In the USE 2017, a number of changes have been made. Even if you are confident in your abilities, you need to pass the USE in English 2016. Online tests this year have four sections consisting of forty assignments. The USE test has a maximum time to pass. In 2017, it is 3 hours. To overcome the entrance barrier, you must successfully pass 17 assignments. Get ready for questions with listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and reading. Preparation for such a test should be colossal. Every year, there is less and less chance of luck. Without knowledge, in a certain area, it is impossible to pass it. This test will help you assess your level for passing the exam.

Question number (1)
Your answer: (2)
Correct answer: (3)

English can rightfully be called the most popular of the list of languages ​​that can be taken in the selective exam category. A foreign language is an indispensable test for those who wish to apply for a linguist, translator, or plan to pursue a career in the diplomatic field. It should be noted that this exam cannot be called simple, especially after speaking was added to the written part of the exam.

It is not surprising that the Unified State Exam in English will require many hours of labor-intensive preparation and, quite possibly, additional lessons in courses or with a tutor. Another important point concerns the structure of the ticket and changes in it. We suggest that you understand this issue in more detail so as not to face unpleasant surprises during the 2017 exam.

The written part of the exam-2017 in English will take place on 15.06, and the oral part - on 16-17.06

Demonstration version of the exam-2017

Statistical information

The popularity of this exam is confirmed by statistics. About 9% of 11th grade students take English as a selective exam every year. On average, graduates manage to score about 64.8 points for this exam, which is a good result. At the same time, the percentage of those who could not pass English even for a satisfactory mark has fluctuated in recent years in the range from 1.8 to 3.3% - a very sparing figure in comparison with other USE.

96.7% of schoolchildren can type at least in English

Changes in the USE-2017 in English

Specialists did not announce any significant changes in the procedure or scheme of the exam. The only thing that can be mentioned is the clarification of the wording in task No. 3 in the oral part: the word "imagine" was removed from the wording.

KIM structure in English

The exam consists of two parts:

• written, which takes 180 minutes;
• oral, which takes place within 15 minutes.

What is included in the written part of the exam?

There are several main sections in the ticket structure.

• Listening. This part of the exam takes 30 minutes and consists of the following tasks:
  • No. 1, in which the student is asked to identify the correspondence between the sounding statements and statements. You need to evaluate 6 statements and bring them in line with 7 answers (one of them is incorrect). The correct answer is estimated at 1 point, in total for the exercise you can score 6 points. The listening technique assumes that the student has 20 seconds to read the answer options, then listens to the recording 2 times and fills in the answers on the form;
  • # 2 - listening to a little dialogue. Next, you should familiarize yourself with the judgments and evaluate their fidelity in words correctly - true, incorrectly - false, did not sound - not stated. The ticket contains seven judgments, each of which can bring 1 point, the maximum point for this exercise is 7;
  • No. 3-9 - a high school student must listen to a short interview and choose one correct answer from the three offered on the ticket. This is usually a question to be answered or a sentence to be completed. The correct answer brings 1 point, in total you can score 7 points.
• Reading assessment. To complete the assignments, the student receives half an hour, during which he needs to have time to do the following exercises:
  • No. 10, in which you need to read 7 short texts and identify their correspondence with the 8 proposed headings (one of the options will be incorrect). For the correct answer 1 point is awarded, the maximum points for this exercise is 7;
  • №11 - the student has to work with the text with six missing parts. 7 fragments are offered to select an answer. Correct answer adds 1 point. Thus, you can earn 6 points here;
  • № 12-18 - you need to get acquainted with a fragment of a fiction or journalistic text and work with it. For each of the texts, questions are asked or unfinished sentences are given, to which you need to choose the answer options from the four offered to choose from. Each of the tasks can bring 1 point, which gives a total of 7 maximum points.
• Vocabulary and grammar. This part is considered the most difficult, therefore it is here that graduates make the maximum number of mistakes in comparison with other parts of KIM in English. The work takes 40 minutes to complete. The section includes the following tasks:
  • №19-25 - the student needs to familiarize himself with small texts with the missing parts. Words should not just be inserted, but subjected to the correct transformation and the correct answer should be written down. In total, you can earn 1 point for an answer, which in total gives a maximum of 7 points;
  • №26-31 - tasks related to word formation problems. In them, you need to familiarize yourself with the text in which gaps are allowed, and identify which parts of speech were missing. Students must convert one part of speech to another — for example, a noun to an adjective — and write the changed word on the form. The assessment principle is the same as in the previous exercises - 1 point per answer, the total point is 6;
  • № 32-38 - tasks that test the knowledge of vocabulary. Here again you will have to work with the texts in which the gaps are made. This is usually a word or preposition. The correct answer can be chosen from the proposed options. The correct answer gives you 1 point, in total you can score 7 points.
• Assessment of writing skills. 80 minutes are allotted to complete the assignments. In this part, you need to do the following exercises:
  • No. 39 is writing a personal letter of 100 to 140 words. You will have to meet in about 20 minutes (the time is recommended, but, as practice shows, it depends on the competent distribution of the time resource whether you will have time to cope with all the tasks from the ticket). In total, you can get 6 points for a letter;
  • №40 - a task in which you need to write an essay of 200 to 250 words according to the proposed plan and topic. The essay outline is standard and includes an introductory part, a statement of one's own opinion, supported by arguments, a counter-opinion and counterarguments, a final part. It is proposed to cope with this task in an hour. You can get 14 points for it.

When taking English, you will not only have tests and essays, but also speaking!

What is included in the oral part of the exam?

Let us remind you that a separate day and time is allotted for the delivery of the oral part. The oral exam is only 15 minutes long, but you will have to wait in line until you reach the classroom. The oral part includes the following tasks:

1. The student is encouraged to read a short text aloud. You will be given a minute and a half to familiarize yourself with the passage, and the same amount to voice it. For this you can get 1 point;
2. A student needs to familiarize himself with a small text (usually of an advertising nature) for one and a half minutes, and then formulate 5 questions on it. The question is given no more than 20 seconds. The task is estimated at 5 maximum points;
3. The high school student is offered three photographs, of which he chooses one. The task is to describe the photo according to the proposed plan. Let's make a reservation right away: you shouldn't think that here you can turn on your imagination and weave whatever your heart desires. Members of the commission do not welcome it when something is described that is not indicated in the figure, and they really do not like assumptions. One and a half minutes are allotted for preparation, another two are given for the story. Here you can earn 7 points;
4. The student is asked to compare two photos, describing their similarities and pointing out the differences, as well as expressing their own opinion. Preparation takes a standard one and a half minutes, and the answer - no more than 2 minutes. The maximum that can be obtained is 7 points.

Assessment of the exam in English

The latest news suggests that they are going to transfer the examination score into the usual five-point system, and the results will be taken into account when putting marks in the final certificate. Thus, it will be possible to tighten up your school mark. According to the reference system for transferring points, in previous years, they were distributed as follows.

Perhaps in 2017 USE results affect your school certificate

• 0-21 points mean unsatisfactory knowledge, that is, mark "2";
• 22-58 points are translated into mark "3" - you speak English satisfactorily;
• 59-83 points mean that your level of a foreign language is not bad, and the mark is "4";
• from 84 points and above those who know English perfectly earn (score "5").

To pass the exam, you need to try to score from 22 points and above. In total, you can get 100 points. We also recall that the procedure for conducting the exam foreign language does not provide for the presence of any additional materials - dictionaries, audio equipment, smartphones and other items that may cause you to be removed from the audience.

Preparation for the exam in English

For high-quality preparation for the exam, it is worth working out demo versions of tickets for 2017 (you can download them directly on our website - see the beginning of the article). This will help you better understand the structure and content of real CMMs, as well as prepare yourself for the Unified State Exam mentally, so as not to waste precious time in the audience. Almost all the wording that is contained in the description of the assignment is given in English, so it is worthwhile to make a translation in advance in order to avoid fatal mistakes on the exam itself.

To come to the exam fully armed, test the demo versions in advance

Remember to devote sufficient time to listening. Not all schools teach students to comprehend information by ear. Listening regularly to audiobooks read by native speakers will help you cope with this challenging task. It is also good practice to watch movies or TV shows in their original voice acting.

Speaking is another problem. Among graduates, there are often those who do an excellent job of grammar, but gain few points for the oral part. To practice this skill, experts recommend describing everything that you see on the way to school, as well as typing a large number of different pictures and describing one a day.
