Решение: Read the Text Aloud

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, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

It usually snows more in countries that are in the north. For instance, Japan, Russia or some parts of the USA may have large snowfalls. Mountains are also the places which have a lot of snow. This is especially true for such countries as China. At the same time, there are tropical countries which hardly see any snow. For some countries snow is one of the main reasons why tourists come there. As not every place in the world has snowfalls, people from hot countries come to snow-covered places in order to live the experience of seeing, touching and feeling this natural phenomenon.

You may think it’s wonderful to have a lot of snow, but it’s not always the case. A heavy snowfall can paralyze the life of a city or a country. If snow is rare in a certain location, people there are not used to it and find it hard to commute or even go outside.
