Устный экзамен по английскому

C3.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

But even today one cannot say that we know all the secrets of this unique sheet of water. The Baikal is 25 million years old. And it still remains a young lake. It is 1634 meters deep. The Baikal is 636 km long, from 25 km to 79 km wide. Many seas are even considerably shallower. The lake consists of 20 % of the world's fresh water supply.

To Siberians it is a glorious sea. The water of the Baikal is amazingly clear; its transparency is 100 times greater than that of many other lakes, in fact, it is legendary.

There one finds the Baikal seal, golomyanka and of course, omul. The delicate fish has always been a favorite with Siberians. Even the thought of omul salted or smoked or baked is mouthwatering.(The text is taken from book of Munkoshapova D.)
