Работая по любому из УМК по английскому языку и сталкиваясь с необходимостью подготовки обучающихся к ОГЭ и, впоследствии, к ЕГЭ, учителя английского языка сталкиваются с тем, что упражнений на словообразование крайне мало. Данные упражнения однотипны, и практически не готовят обучающихся к выполнению заданий ОГЭ на словообразование. Задания же ОГЭ кажутся обучающимся очень сложными. С нашей точки зрения следует постепенно готовить обучающихся к выполнению данных заданий, от простого к сложному.

Например, на этапе подготовки к сдаче ОГЭ учащимся следует, во-первых, выучить аффиксы различных частей речи. Данный список составлен в соответствии с кодификатором. Можно сделать карточки с аффиксами и потренировать учащихся.

Аффиксы глаголов: re-, dis-, mis-, -ize/ise.

Аффиксы существительных: -er/or,-ness,-ist,-ship,- ing,-ment,

-sion/tion, -ance/ence, — ity/ty.

— ing, -ous, -less, -ible/able, -ive, inter-, in-/im,- un.

The Earth Hour is a part of an _________ECOLOGY_________ education whose aim is to make people understand their responsibility to the planet.

26. Reading is one of the most popular pastimes and books are one of the main sources of knowledge. Everyone knows this but, _________FORTUNATELY_________, there are many young people who don’t like to read. They say it is not cool but I firmly _________AGREE_________ with them.

And perhaps the most important _________DIFFER_________ of all – each nation has its own football team!

29. The Turners were not used to snow. The most they ever got in Birmingham was an inch or so each winter. Even that happened quite _________RARE_________.

When the Turner kids woke up on Saturday morning, there were 17 inches of ________WONDER_________ snow as far as the eye could see. The Turners were in shock. They had no idea what to do. Though Mr. Turner was an experienced _________DRIVE_________ he chose to leave his car in the garage.

However, most travellers strongly ________AGREE__________ with this point of view. They recommend keeping away from the water where piranhas live. When the fish attack in groups, it is practically _________POSSIBLE_________ to survive. Whatever your opinion of piranhas, this is a ________USE__________ piece of advice one should follow.

______FORTUNATELY______, global warming is very dangerous for polar bears. They may die out if the temperature rises too high.

The idea was suggested by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, a sculptor and ________DESIGN_________. He said they could make a statue of a woman holding the torch of freedom. It was an ambitious project and it was _________POSSIBLE_________ to complete it quickly. It actually took 21 years for this idea to become a reality.

On July 4, 1886 the United States received their _________AMAZE_________ gift — the Statue of Liberty!

In a _________SCIENCE_________ journal I saw an article about children’s writing problems. The author claimed that anyone could become a good ________WRITE__________ if they learned some rules. I read and reread the article several times. Then I tried to use the information in practice.

However, children should never be left on their own — bonfires and fireworks are potentially ________DANGER__________. Emergency reports say the number of people needing medical care increases on this night. Some of them have been _________CARE_________ with fire. In spite of the excitement, the children may also catch a cold on this November night. Warm jumpers, coats and gloves are more ________USE__________ than ever.

48. Last year, I became a volunteer in a charity shop. It was an _________USUAL_________ job for me — I had never been involved with charities. Our shop raised money to provide medical care for anyone suffering from any ________ILL__________. The job was not easy but I enjoyed it very much. All my colleagues were very helpful. Their _________FRIEND_________ and support meant a lot to me. Andrew, my boss and _________MANAGE_________, was a smart and well-organized person. He kept saying that we had no right to be indifferent or ________CARE__________ because people’s lives depended on us.

The city is home to two teams: Liverpool and Everton. Everton is older and was more _________SUCCESS_________ in the past, but since the 1990s it has been Liverpool’s time to shine. I’ve been Liverpool’s _________SUPPORT_________ since I was a small boy. The team is based at the Anfield stadium. I have watched games there twice. It was very _________EXCITE_________ and it was one of the most important memories of my childhood.

51. Last year I learnt Spanish in Barcelona. Spain is an _________AMAZE_________ country and I enjoyed my time there very much. My flatmates were two girls from Germany.

Sometimes we felt absolutely ________HELP__________ because we were not able to understand each other. However, it gave us additional motivation to learn Spanish!

In the future, Sam wanted to be a _________SCIENCE_________ and study sharks in the wild.

53. There is a popular opinion that all children are talented. It’s true — children are curious and have a good _________IMAGINE_________.

However, sometimes parents may _________APPROVE_________ of their children’s artistic activities like drawing on the walls and indoor experiments with fireworks. But _________PUNISH_________ is not a good solution! Any art activity develops children’s brains and stimulates their ability in science. Be _________CARE_________ with your children’s natural talents. Never stop them doing an activity but instead create an appropriate and safe environment for it.

54. Recently my neighbour Michael Wilkins got a job in sales. However, soon he found out that being a sales _________MANAGE_________ did not make him happy.

So Michael decided to look for a more ________ATTRACT__________ job. In the local newspaper, he saw an _________ADVERTISE_________ from a pizzeria. It was close to his house and they needed a waiter. Michael decided to apply and didn’t regret it.

He cannot spend lots of time with us, but when he is at home, we have a _________FANTASY_________ time all together. Dad is a very _________CREATE_________ person and often invents new games for us. There are three children in our family and we always prepare a present for our dad together. Last time it was a large, _________COLOUR_________ book about the history of trains.

57. The Grand National is a horse race which is held every year in Liverpool. This _________COMPETE_________ involves a four-mile race, during which the horses have to go over 30 fences.

The race is not only a sporting event but a _________FASHION_________ social event too. Men and women wear beautiful clothes, and the tickets to the race are very ________EXPENSE__________.

She never did gardening as a job but for pleasure and ________ENTERTAIN__________. She had the so-called “green fingers” — the flowers and fruit trees she planted grew very _________QUICK_________. I wish I were as skillful as she was. It’s a pity my family does not share my interest in gardening. My children _________LIKE_________ working outdoors. They prefer using the computer indoors. I don’t argue with them. Arguing and quarrelling makes me feel _________NERVE_________ and unhappy but cannot change the situation. I hope one day they will join me in the garden.

59. Lots of companies do business online. They sell goods and services, or provide _________INFORM_________ to the general public. Doing business online is less _________EXPENSE_________ and more convenient than running a traditional business, with offices and lots of employees. Surprisingly enough, there are lots of very young people among online businessmen. In spite of their age, they are quite _________SUCCESS_________ and professional. For example, Ben Collins started his own online company when he was _________REAL_________ young. He was only 17.
