🤓 Предсказали задания муниципального этапа

Во многих регионах уже прошел МЭ ВсОШ, и самое время подводить итоги!

🤯 На туре в Москве, например, в задании на страноведение попались 3 элемента, которые мы разбирали в ноябре на занятиях в рамках годового курса "Level Up". Как результат, — ребята смогли без труда сопоставить их с определениями и получить баллы.

Тем не менее, страноведение — это всегда кот в мешке, и чем выше уровень олимпиады или этап ВсОШ, тем сложнее становятся задания в этом разделе. Только занимаясь продолжительно и системно, можно обеспечить себе уверенное прохождение этих испытаний.

📚 Если вы только начинаете участвовать в олимпиадах, — присоединяйтесь к нашему курсу: это можно сделать в любой момент! Вас будут сопровождать опытные педагоги АПО, когда-то уже одержавшие победу над страноведом.

Подробнее можно узнать здесь:

📍 7–8 классы

📍 9–11 классы
Уровень В1+: для тех, кто участвует в олимпиадах первый год

📍 9–11 классы
Уровень В2+: для тех, кто знаком с форматом олимпиадных заданий

Answer: Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Originally ceded to Britain in 1842 after the First Opium War, this small fishing settlement quickly transformed into one of the Empire’s most important trading and financial centres. Its deep natural harbour and strategic position on the South China Sea made it a gateway between East and West — a cornerstone of Britain’s imperial presence in Asia.

The colony expanded through the Kowloon Peninsula (1860) and the New Territories, which Britain leased for 99 years in 1898. Throughout the 20th century, Hong Kong became a bustling manufacturing hub and a refuge for waves of migrants, especially during periods of unrest in mainland China.

In 1997, following the end of the lease, Hong Kong was officially handed over to China under the “one country, two systems” framework — an arrangement intended to preserve its economic model, legal system, and freedoms for 50 years.

Today, Hong Kong remains one of the world’s most dynamic and recognisable global cities — defined by its skyscraper-studded skyline, fast-paced lifestyle, and unique blend of British colonial heritage and Chinese cultural roots.

Key Symbols:

🌉 Victoria Harbour — the heart of Hong Kong’s identity, framed by one of the most dramatic skylines on the planet.
🛕 Man Mo Temple — one of the city’s oldest temples, a reminder of its deep traditional roots amid modernity.
🚠 Victoria Peak — offering panoramic views that symbolise Hong Kong’s ascent as a global financial powerhouse.
🌆 Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade — a waterfront emblem of the city’s cosmopolitan character and colonial history.

One night, returning from Macau and feeling more than a little fatigued, I resolved to splurge on a Hong Kong taxi — an institution known for its high prices (a decision, I should say at the outset, I never came to regret).


🚕 Join Daniil Shuklin, a teacher at APO and a MGIMO student, on his exciting trip back home in Hong Kong.

Daniil also highlighted some vocabulary for you: pay attention to the words in bold, as a winner of "Высшая Проба" would know what he's talking about 😏

👉the windshield – the glass at the front of a car that you look through while driving
👉to shoot past sb – to drive past someone very quickly

👉a route – the path or way you take to get somewhere
👉to pick up passengers – to stop and let people get into your vehicle

👉grueling (training, exam, etc.) – extremely tiring and demanding
👉to clock long hours – to work for many hours
