Який час використано у пісні "I will"?

Who knows how long
I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to--I will.
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will
I will.

Випуск № 7 Державна атестація

Чи справився б Гаррі Поттер з завданнями державної підсумкової атестації для 11 класів?

Пропонуємо Вам зразки завдань, відповіді на них будуть у першому грудневому випуску.

1. Завдання з вибором однієї правильної відповіді.
Read the text below. For question (1-2) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D). Write your answer on the separate answer sheet. An example (0) has been done for you.
YOUR HEALTH
Swimming is great exercise. It's healthy, fun and relaxing. Because swimming is a 'low-impact' sport, most people enjoy participating in this activity without fear of injury to their bones or muscles. Jogging, which is a 'high-impact' activity, can at times be harmful. I know this from personal experience. Last year while I was jogging, I injured my right knee. I don't go jogging any more. After a painful month of recovery, I stopped running and switched to water sports. I'm now considering joining a swimming team and competing in races.
0 According to the text, swimming is ____
A the most healthy sports activity for the author.
B the most traumatic kind of sport for people.
C the most acceptable activity for the author.
D the most pleasant free time activity for people.
1 Why did the author decide to go in for swimming?
A He wanted to take part in the swimming competition.
B He felt himself very bad to go jogging.
C He wanted to be healthy, to have a fun and relax.
D He has hurt his leg seriously while jogging.

2. Завдання на встановлення відповідності.
Read the text below. Match choices (A-G) to (1-4). There are two choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet. An example (0) has been done for you.
TRAVELLING TO UKRAINE
A Have you taken anything from this experience?
B Is it your first visit to the International Outreach Camp?
C What are some of the differences you see between the people you met here and Americans back home?
D How did some of your friends and family react to your going to Ukraine for the International Outreach Camp?
E Are you having a tough time in Ukraine?
F Have you gone anywhere else internationally?
G The money you earned ... do you mean you paid for this camp yourself?
0
I guess I wanted to travel, but it was never my priority. I've been to Greece before on a school trip for sightseeing. I liked Greece a lot, but all we saw were ruins day in and day out. I would have liked to have met people, too. In Ukraine it's the opposite. I don't feel like a tourist. I would like to be able to see more of the sights. The money I had earned to come here was worth it.
1
Yeah, I had to save for it. I worked two part-time jobs. The first was a day care center, where my two cousins work. I worked there full-time in June. I also worked with my dad, who owns a brewery.
2
Some were like, "Where is Ukraine?" and, "Why are you going? Well, that's cool...at least you're doing something other than being at the basketball court every day." It wasn't like, "Wow, you're going to Ukraine! You're living out my dream! I wanted to go there so much!" People my age don't even know about Chernobyl. I'm only seventeen, you know.
3
Roya, (my friend), thinks that people here are pretty genuine. It could be because she's from California, but I actually feel like people in Minnesota are genuine too.
It was nice to meet people here. When I introduced myself to some Ukrainian kids in the city they were friendly and smiling. They told me a lot of interesting things about their native place, their schools and friends.
4
I learned from this camp that I really want to do a study abroad program. IOC is great. I think with a study abroad program, though, I can also see more of a country.

3. Завдання на визначення правильності/неправильності твердження.
Read the text below. For (1- 3) choose T if the statement is true according to the text, F if it is false. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet. An example (0) has been done for you.
CITIES IN SPACE
Will people live in space one day? Some scientists say it is possible. They also say it will be necessary. Why? The answer is that we will soon need more energy than the earth’s oil, coal and gas can give us. The world’s population is growing all the time. At current rates of growth it will be over ten billion (10,000,000,000) by 2050 – that’s about double what it is today. We will have to find more energy for all these people from somewhere and space is a good place to get it.
How will people live in space? And how will they get all this energy? Scientists have the answer. They want to build huge space cities where thousands of people can live and work just like they do on Earth. Their main job will be to build energy collectors to collect the sun’s energy and transmit it back to Earth.
Unfortunately, there is one big problem about living in space – there is no gravity. Without gravity everything floats around and ordinary life is impossible. However, scientists have got the solution to this problem, too.
0
The scientists are quite sure that people will live in space in the near future.
1
The population increase is the reason for the humanity to live in space in the near future.
2
The scientists decided to provide the people with minerals using the special equipment in space.
3
People will be obliged to live in unusual conditions in space because of the weightlessness.
