Выношу в отдельный пост задания для работы над отчетом (report) в письменной части FCE. То же самое я уже сделала на эссе (essay) и рецензии (review).
Отчет (report) (140-190 слов) — это описание и оценка события или явления + рекомендации, что стоит поменять и над чем надо поработать. Пример такого текста смотрите в обзорном файле про письмо в экзамене. Еще примеры вы найдете в сборниках тестов и в курсах для подготовки к FCE. Последние находятся в этом посте , раздел «Экзаменационные курсы и курсы по отдельных навыкам». Как писать отчеты, вы можете найти в материалах на этой странице.
Задания основаны на сборниках ‘Cambridge English: First 1-5’, ‘Handbook for Teachers’, ‘Improve Your Writing for First’, ‘B2 First Formula’, ‘Spotlight on First’ и ‘Trainers 1-3’.
