Tag questions

Tag questions - вопросы "с хвостиком"

Что такое Tag questions?

Tag questions  - это когда повествовательное утверждение становится вопросительным при помощи прибавления «Хвостика» (a tag), который при переводе будет звучать «не так ли?»

Как образуются Tag questions?

Есть простое правило:

• если в главном (повествовательном) предложении глагол стоит в отрицательной форме, то "хвостик" ставим положительный, и наоборот: если в главное - положительное, то "хвостик" — в отрицании. Мы называем это правилом "батарейки".

He is at school, isn't he?

• если подлежащее выражено существительным, то в "хвостике" мы заменяем его на местоимение.

Peter doesn't go to school, does he?

• отрицание в "хвостике" в том же времени, в каком стоит главное предложение. Обрати внимание, что в хвостике мы используем только вспомогательные глаголы.

He is watching TV, isn't he?

She played the guitar, didn't she? 

They will go to the cinema, won't they?

Your parents haven't bought a new car, have they?

Shopping for food

In this project you are to speak about shopping in the past and about the shopping in your family.

An example of what your topic can be:

Shopping for food

Nowadays most people do their shopping at the supermarkets. However, some time ago there used to be few supermarkets, and customers used to buy their food in small shops. First I will tell you a story about the past, then – about my own shopping expedition.

Well, a story of a woman at the butcher’s shop. One day Mary took her shopping list and went to the butcher’s. She said: “Hello! Two pounds of sausages, please, and some best pork.” The butcher cut off some sausages and wrapped them first in white and then in brown paper. Then he said: “And I have a very nice piece of pork here. Have a look.”

“That looks very good. How much is it?”

“Well, four pounds. So, that comes to eight pounds with the sausages. Is that all right?”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Anything else?” the butcher said hopefully.

“Not today. Thank you very much.”

The man tied up the parcel and gave it to Mary.

 [можно вставить еще, чтобы было слово “change”]

This is what shopping was like before. Now I will tell you what shopping is like in my family. My mother, father and I usually go to supermarket [NAME]. First, we visit greengrocer’s department where we usually choose a kilo of red apples, half a kilo of fresh tomatoes, a small container of green vegetables, etc. Then we walk to the dairy department and take a bottle of milk, a carton of sour cream, four or six cartons of yoghurt, a piece of cheese and … . After that we go to … . Finally, we visit … .

After we have chosen everything what we need, we pay for the food and go home.

Nowadays people want to be strong and healthy.  I think that healthy lifestyle is very important and I would like to tell you about some good rules to keep fit. After that I will tell you what to do if you have fallen ill.

Think what you eat and try to eat mostly healthy food. What food is thought to be good for health? First of all, it is fruit and vegetables. They have a lot of vitamins [‘vaitэmins]. Vegetables are really delicious if they are eaten (cooked) as salads.  Dairy products are also the right food. Milk, cheese, yoghurt, cottage cheese, cream and sour cream can help you grow and be in good shape. Meat is full of vitamins and other good things (proteins), too.

Some food is not healthy and you should try to eat it as little as possible. For example, fried food, fat food and sweet food. Eating a lot of sweets and chocolate is harmful for your teeth.

Doing some physical exercises is also good for your health.

…….

Looking after yourself is also important.

 Unfortunately, people can fall ill. If you are in a foreign country, and you don’t feel well, it’s very important to explain about your illness in English. Here is what can be wrong. You can have a sore throat. ……..
