Practicum on Conversational English

How to motivate a school student to start reading or listening to texts in a foreign language independently? Perhaps the very theme of the text will become a motivating factor?
The new book by Marina Anatolyevna Gatskevich will give high school... students the opportunity to prepare for the most difficult part of the Unified State Exam (USE) in English. The ability to formulate thoughts on a specific topic and understand the interlocutor is, in essence, the goal of all those studying a foreign language.
The book contains texts on interesting themes: for example, about famous military leaders, explorers, entrepreneurs, and people who left a mark on world history; about British traditions, and so on. Undoubtedly, reading these texts will broaden the reader's horizons, increase the volume of their active vocabulary, and strengthen their grammar skills. In the process of completing the exercises related to the texts and listening to the audio recording, the student will practice their speaking skills (in monologue and dialogue) and their listening comprehension skills.
Thus, the student's task is to carefully read the texts and complete the assignments. And then the main goal - to learn to communicate freely in English - will be achieved.
