Мы уже готовимся держать за вас кулачки, а пока собрали подборку того, чем можно заняться в последний день перед важным этапом ВсОШ.
Расслабиться с небольшой практикой аудирования — надежный вариант. Мы рекомендуем Stephen Fry in America (VK Video, YouTube), в которой знаменитый британский актёр путешествует по разным регионам США в течение 6 серий.
А еще для Country Studies может пригодиться наша подборка инфографик об истории.
Вот здесь мы рассказывали о правилах пунктуации, здесь об артиклях с именами собственными, а в нашем ВК подготовили чеклист для письменной части.
Если вы хотите изучить конкретные форматы:
- story
- article (и пример article)
- guidebook entry
- report (и видео о нем)
А еще у нас есть советы от писателей и большая подборка для подготовки к РЭ!
Знаем, как сложно может быть себя заставить, но очень рекомендуем все же сесть, поставить таймер и написать — лучше от руки — хотя бы один Writing. Тему можно взять из нашего бесплатного пробника или онлайн-курса по письменным заданиям.
А для вдохновения можно посмотреть на примеры работ!

🇬🇧 Anthony Burgess — the writer who reinvented language
Anthony Burgess (1917–1993) was one of the most inventive British writers of the 20th century. Today we celebrate his remarkable legacy😎
Born John Anthony Burgess Wilson in Manchester on February 25, 1917, he grew up in a working-class Catholic family and lost his mother and sister during the 1918 influenza pandemic. He studied English at the University of Manchester and later served in the British Army during World War II. These experiences shaped his worldview and writing.
In 1959, while working as a colonial education officer in Malaya, Burgess was diagnosed with what doctors believed to be a terminal brain tumor and was told he had about a year to live. Determined to provide for his wife, he began writing at extraordinary speed. The diagnosis turned out to be wrong, but the creative explosion it triggered changed literary history.
Here are some interesting facts about Burgess, the writer who:
💜 created Nadsat, a dazzling fictional slang blending Russian, English, and invented words in A Clockwork Orange;
💜 explored free will, morality, and state power in that same novel, later adapted into a namesake film by Stanley Kubrick;
💜 wrote more than 30 novels, including the epic historical trilogy Enderby and Earthly Powers;
💜 was also a composer and linguist, with a deep love of music that influenced the rhythm and structure of his prose.
Burgess was a linguistic magician, fascinated by how language shapes thought and identity. He once reflected on the writer’s role:
Provocative, playful, and endlessly creative, Anthony Burgess left behind a body of work that continues to challenge readers and to remind us that language itself can be a form of rebellion.
