III. Speaking Task — Herbology Gone Wrong

🎭 Role

You are a Hogwarts student (you may speak as Neville Longbottom).

You are telling a friend about a Herbology lesson in which you had to re-pot Mandragora seedlings.
During the lesson, something went wrong and you fainted because of the Mandragora’s cry.

You have 1–2 minutes.
Try to sound vivid and emotional, as if the incident is still fresh in your memory.

🧪 What to include in your monologue

Remember to say:

• what the Mandragora roots looked and sounded like
• what you were told to do during the lesson
• how you felt physically and emotionally
• the exact moment when you lost consciousness
• what you remember after you fainted

gnarled, human-like roots	twisted roots resembling a small person
ear-splitting shriek	an extremely loud, painful scream
pungent, earthy smell	a strong, sharp plant smell

🧩 Grammar Patterns to use (aim for 3–4)

1. Hardly had I … when … = Не успел ...., как ... / Только... . так сазу ..../ 
   Hardly had I pulled the Mandragora out when it let out a shriek. 
2. We were told to + V¹ (passive instruction)

3. Not only … but also … (inversion for emphasis) =Не только..., но также...
