Основными целями введения единого государственного экзамена являются обеспечение государственных гарантий доступности и равных возможностей получения полноценного образования, повышения эффективности итоговой аттестации выпускников общеобразовательных учреждений.
ЕГЭ по иностранному языку основан на тестовых технологиях. Цель экзаменационного теста – проверить уровень сформированности речевых и языковых умений выпускников общеобразовательных учреждений в рамках ЕГЭ по иностранному языку (английский язык).
Такая новая форма экзамена требует хороших знаний предмета, предварительной психологической подготовки всех участников образовательного процесса (учителей, родителей, учащихся).
Помня о том, что “нельзя научиться плавать, стоя на берегу”, следует как можно раньше и активнее вводить тестовые задания в систему обучения английскому языку. С этой целью можно применять тестовые задания в качестве контроля сформированности умений учащихся в чтении, аудировании, письме; в умении использовать языковой материал и устную речь для решения коммуникативно-ориентированных задач.
Тренировки в выполнении подобных заданий помогают сформировать у учащихся не только навык работы с тестовыми заданиями, но и соответствующие психотехнические навыки саморегуляции и самоконтроля. Психотехнические навыки, полученные учащимися в процессе обучения, повысят эффективность подготовки к ЕГЭ, позволят учащимся более уверенно вести себя во время экзамена, мобилизовать себя в решающей ситуации, овладеть собственными эмоциями.

Should I Add Fish to My Diet?
DEAR DR.BLONZ: I keep reading that I should be eating more fish. The problem is that I don’t like the taste. Is there something unique to fish that I cannot get elsewhere in my diet Finally, what is an epidemiology study?
S.F., Arlington, III
DEAR S.F.: I will answer your second question first. Epidemiology is the science that investigates the connection between specific events, such as the occurrence of a disease, and a particular behavior pattern, such as diet or exercise. Epidemiological research can help suggest what’s going on, but it cannot really tell you what’s causing what with any precision.
Now on to your fish question. Too bad that you don’t have a taste for fish, because it has been found to be an asset in the fight against heart disease. The first studies describing the low incidence of heart disease in fish-eating populations appeared over two decades ago. The evidence keeps pointing to omega-3 oils in fish as the source of this unique property.
Omega-3 oils are a type of oil that manufactured by plants that grow in the sea and a few that grow on land. The fish that eat these sea plants (as well as the fish that eat those fish) accumulate these essential fatty acids, or EFAs, in their bodies. These are mainly the varieties of fish found in cold water. Those fish that contain a high level of omega-3 EFAs include mackerel, sardines, salmon, tune, herring, yellowtail and trout.
There are non-fish options, too, because on land, there’s a generous supply of omega-3 oils in linseed oil, and smaller amounts in walnut, soybean, and canola oils, as well as wheat germ.
At present there is a great deal of epidemiological evidence to support the healthfulness of fish.
In the end, though, fish should not be thought of as a magic bullet against heart disease. What fish represent is good food and a convenient source of essential fats.
To investigate – изучать
Behavior pattern – образ жизни
Mackerel – скумбрия, макрель
Salmon – лосось, семга
Herring - сельдь
Trout – форель
Wheat germ – ростки пшеницы

A No Smoking Day
… Giving up smoking is a good idea – in fact, it is one of the most important things that someone can do to improve his or her health. I recommended having a No Smoking Day. And it took place at the end of April at my school. But we found that nothing unusual resulted. Nothing had changed – smokers think that a lack of nicotine means that they are more likely to have problems at school or at home if they try to give up smoking.
As you see some of my friends think that No Smoking Day could damage one’s health.
