How to pass the exam in 2018

We answered the most pressing questions that parents ask about the exam...

Everyone who took the exam this year can relax: the work is checked, the points are set, the appeals are filed and considered. Now it's the turn of those who have just entered the 11th grade, as well as their teachers and parents, to worry.

For the Ministry of Education, schools, experts, the Unified State Examination is a well-established annual practice, but for those who take exams, it is always the first time, and therefore causes great excitement.

Especially for those who will have to take the exam next year, as well as for sympathetic and worried parents, we conduct a brief digression into the general rules for conducting exams, talk about the innovations of 2018, about how to motivate a high school student to prepare for exams and how not to “overdo it” in preparation for the main national exams.

USE-2018: what's new?

Since the introduction of the Unified State Examination and the GIA (now the OGE), at least something has changed in the exams every year, but it has changed - in terms of the assessment scale, the forms of tasks, the procedure. In this article, we will focus specifically on the Unified State Exam - a unified state exam, which is taken by graduates in the 11th grade. Over the past three years, the ministry has announced many plans for changes to the USE. Those who have to take exams in 2018 are primarily interested in the following questions:

Will the oral part be introduced in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language?

Will graduates take the mandatory USE in national history?

Is it true that the USE in English will become mandatory for everyone this year?

How many exams will schoolchildren take - three, four or six, as the former Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation D.V. Livanov?

All these questions were answered by the press center of the Ministry of Education and Science on April 24, 2017: “No changes are expected in the Unified State Examination in the coming years, all proposals for modernizing the exam must undergo a preliminary wide expert and public discussion” (source - MIA “Russia Today”) . There are no discussions at the moment.

Indeed, in recent months, the press has been actively discussing the idea of ​​making the national history exam universal and mandatory as soon as possible. The implementation of this idea will take place gradually. According to the Minister of Education and Science Olga Vasilyeva, the Unified State Examination in history will most likely become mandatory only by 2020.

As for the oral part in the Russian language exam, this innovation should first be tested in the ninth grade. On July 6, at a meeting of the commission on education and science of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Olga Vasilyeva announced that from 2018, ninth-grade students will undergo an oral interview in Russian for admission to the GIA (source - MIA Rossiya Segodnya).

Preparation for the exam in mathematics (profile level): tasks, solutions and explanations

How is the exam going?

At the moment, those who have to take exams are interested in everything related to the content and procedure for passing the exam. All minor updates in the content of the USE will become known at the end of the summer: as promised in the press center of Rosobrnadzor, in August, draft documents defining the structure and content of the KIM USE 2018 will be posted on the FIPI website. From August to October, a broad discussion of these projects will take place, and a final decision will be made on the transition to a new examination model (the press center of Rosobrnadzor for the Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency).

As for the procedure for passing the exam, all the details are described on the official website of the unified state exam. Based on the site's data, we answered the most pressing questions that parents ask about the exam. Please note: before passing the exam in 2018, changes may occur in the exam procedure - and then you can find out about them on the official website of the exam or on the FIPI website. We kindly ask you to treat unofficial Internet resources with distrust: no one can guarantee that the information provided on them is complete and reliable.

How many USE exams should each person take?

To obtain a certificate, it is enough to pass two main exams - in Russian and mathematics. For admission to universities, each graduate has the right to pass as many exams of his choice as he likes. The USE list for choice includes 12 positions, among them: physics, chemistry, history, social science, computer science and ICT, biology, geography, foreign languages, literature.

When is the USE taking place?

The unified state exam is taken by students of the eleventh grade (with the exception of the USE in geography, it can also be taken in the tenth grade). The early period for passing the exam takes place in March-April, the main period - from the end of May to the end of June, the additional period - in September-October 2018.

They say that the exam is not held at the school where the graduate is studying, but in some other specially designated place. What are these places and how to get to them?

Most often, special points for conducting the exam (PET) are located in educational institutions. It may turn out that just your school will turn out to be your PES. In any case, the organizers of the exam must promptly inform all participants of the exam where each exam is held.

All USE exams begin at 10:00 local time. Of course, you need to come to the PES in advance: admission to the building starts at 9.00. Participants get to the PES in an organized manner, accompanied by school representatives.

Organization of preparation for the exam in chemistry: redox reactions

What can and cannot be taken with you to the exam?

Standard list of things and documents that the participant of the exam must have with you:

Pen, gel or capillary.

Passport (it must be presented at the entrance to the PES).

Bottle of drinking water. Necessary medicines and food can be brought with you only with special permission.

Besides, allowed take with you to the exams:

in mathematics - a ruler;

in physics - a ruler and a non-programmable calculator;

in chemistry - a non-programmable calculator;

in geography - a ruler, a protractor, a non-programmable calculator.

List of things that the participant of the exam forbidden have with you during the exam:

notice of registration for exams,

means of communication,

electronic computers,

photo, audio and video equipment,

reference materials, written notes and other means of storing and transmitting information.

Of all the items needed to pass the exam, the most important is your document, that is, your passport: without it, you will not be allowed to take the exam. If you do not have a passport with you for objective reasons, then you will be allowed only after a written confirmation of your identity by an escort from the school.

But what about all the other personal things - keys, phone? Can I bring a talisman with me?

Exam participants can leave all their belongings in a specially designated storage area - this must be done before entering the PES territory. The administration of the building in which the exam is held is responsible for their safety. If you are worried about your things, it is better not to take them with you to the exam. Be careful with the choice of a talisman: of course, no one will take it away from you, but it is important that it is nothing did not resemble a means of communication or other dubious item (calculator, gadget, abstract, notebook, etc.).

USE in social studies: analysis of tasks with a teacher
What to do if you are late for the start of the exam?

You can’t be late for the exam: you won’t be able to extend the exam period and repeat the briefing, including filling out the registration fields of the exam forms.

What happens after the participants have passed through the metal detectors and entered the PES?

Here, specially authorized organizers help the participants of the exam: indicate the numbers of the classrooms, escort them to the door, etc. In the audience, the organizers re-check the passports of those who give up their passports and send them to their workplaces (audiences and workplaces are determined in accordance with automated distribution). Attention! Changing the workplace at the request of the USE participant is not allowed.

This is followed by a briefing (it is conducted by the organizers in each audience). Then the participants begin to distribute sets of examination materials. The task of those taking the exam is to carefully inspect the package, make sure that it is intact and has not been opened before. Each package contains CMM (control and measuring material), a registration form and answer forms No. 1 and No. 2. Form No. 1 - for the test part and tasks with a short answer, form No. 2 - for questions that require detailed answers and solutions.

Kits must be opened at the direction of the organizers. After opening the package, check the number of USE and KIM forms, inspect them for defects. If the participant finds extra or missing forms, or sees a defect, he must inform the organizers about this, and his package will be replaced. Attention! If the participant did not replace the package or he noticed a violation of the order at this stage, he can file an appeal on the day of the exam about the violation of the established procedure for conducting the exam.

Filling out forms. All forms are filled in block letters, under the guidance of the organizers. The registration form is filled out, then the registration areas of answer forms No. 1 and No. 2.

Additional Form No. 2. It will be given to the dealers upon request and only if both sides of the first form are filled out. Answers entered on the additional form will not be scored if the main form is not completely completed.

drafts. You cannot use your drafts for the exam. Participants receive official drafts with the stamp of the educational organization on the basis of which the PES is located from the organizers. During the delivery of the oral part of the exam in foreign languages, drafts are not issued.

Listening. All tasks for the "Listening" section of the written part of the exam in foreign languages ​​are recorded on audio.

Getting ready for the exam in English: assignments, reasoning, answer options

Why can an exam taker be removed from the exam?

The basis for the removal of a participant from the exam may be a violation of the rules of conduct on the exam or refusal to comply with them. Deletion is fixed if an act is drawn up to remove the USE participant from the exam and a label is affixed on its forms indicating the fact of deletion. Work with such a label is not allowed until verification.

So, during the exam, the participants Absolutely forbidden:

Take out examination materials from classrooms and PES in any medium.

Remove writing materials, notes and any other means of storing and transmitting information from classrooms.

Take pictures of exam materials.

Talk to each other.

Exchange any materials and items with other USE participants.

Rewrite KIM tasks into drafts.

Freely leave the audience and move around the PES without being accompanied by the organizer outside the audience.

Naturally, USE participants can go to the toilet or to the medical room during the exam, but they do this only when accompanied by the organizer. Beforehand, the organizers check all examination materials left by the participant.

When finished, you put the CMM into the envelope of your individual kit, put everything else on the edge of the table, the organizers collect materials, check that you filled out the forms correctly - and you are free!

USE in history: we analyze tasks with a teacher

How to find out the results of the exam?

To do this, you need to enter a single electronic database through your unique identification code or document number without a series. Exam participants receive codes at school (if we are talking about those who take the exam for the first time).

How to file an appeal?

If you think your test score should be higher, you can file an appeal to disagree with your score. The appeal is filed within two working days after the official day of the announcement of the results of the exam in the relevant subject.

Please note that the conflict commission does not consider appeals on the content and structure of tasks in academic subjects, as well as on issues related to the assessment of tasks with a short answer, and with incorrect design of the examination paper. Not later than a month before the start of the exams, information on the dates, places and procedures for filing and considering appeals is published on the official website of the Unified State Examination. The examination participant and/or his/her parents, as well as public observers, may be present during the consideration of the appeal.

If you failed to pass the profile exam, what to do? Is it possible to transfer?

Retake is possible, but only next year. At the same time, you will receive a certificate of secondary general education: for this, it is enough to successfully pass two compulsory subjects - Russian language and mathematics, a basic or profile level. (A basic level is sufficient for a high school diploma.)

But what if the participant missed the exam due to illness?

You need to provide the school with a medical report as soon as possible. The school will submit the information to the SEC, and you will be assigned another day to take the missed exam.

Rosobrnadzor and the Public Chamber (OP) of the Russian Federation joined the collection of proposals for improving the conduct of the Unified State Examination. The Public Chamber accepts appeals during July in order to present a conclusion prepared by experts at the end of the month. And Rosobrnadzor will complete the reception on August 11 to announce possible adjustments before September 1.

Since 2014, Rosobrnadzor has been annually collecting comments and suggestions on improving the state final certification after the end of the main period of the examination campaign. The information received is analyzed by specialists of the department and organizations subordinate to Rosobrnadzor, and then submitted for discussion to representatives of expert communities.

“The practice of collecting wishes for improving the exam has become an annual and, one might say, obligatory for us. All information received in the mailbox is carefully considered, discussed and submitted for discussion to experts. The experience of past years shows that many of these proposals are accepted and integrated into the examination system,” said Sergey Kravtsov, head of the department.

Proposals for improving the unified state exam are accepted until August 11 by e-mail [email protected].

There is no talk of serious reform. However…

As it became known, the changes may affect the procedure itself - examination materials will be printed at the points of the exam, the wording of tasks in Russian, literature, chemistry, computer science will also be clarified. And if the relevant departments listen to the opinion of teachers and parents, the USE in a foreign language will become mandatory in 2022.

As Lyudmila Dudova, deputy chairman of the commission for the development of education and science of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, told journalists, there is no talk of a serious reform.

According to her, work to improve the exam has been ongoing throughout its existence. But the first proposals are already coming to the website of the Public Chamber. It is especially important to hear the opinions of graduates, those who have already passed the exam. I don't know what suggestions they will make. But I predict that these will be comments mainly on the procedural part.

Of the complaints that have already been received by the OP, one can single out violations of the procedure for conducting the exam, refusals to issue additional forms, equipment malfunction.

As Lyudmila Dudova explained, the refusal to issue forms is a traditional problem associated with the sluggishness of local authorities in printing documents. There are no regulations to limit the number of forms.

And the equipment especially often fails in big cities, where a huge array of paper is printed on it. The authorities need to have an item of expenses for the repair of equipment in advance.

The press service of Rosobrnadzor also told journalists that there would be no radical changes this year. Major adjustments were made in previous years. Now there is a slight adjustment of the procedure and content of examination materials.

The next changes will take place in 2018.

Rosobrnadzor promises that the next changes will take place as early as 2018 - this is a transition to the widespread printing of examination materials at examination points (this year there were about 50 percent of such places), as well as adjusting the criteria and clarifying the wording of tasks in the Russian language and literature , chemistry and informatics.

And in 2022, the USE, which is mandatory for obtaining a school certificate, will be introduced in foreign languages. The introduction of the USE in history is also being discussed, but no final decision has been made.

The experts called for turning the USE quality control centers in each region into independent (from schools) USE acceptance centers. There is a similar experience in China, but its implementation requires serious funding.

"Teacher of the Year of Russia-2009", physicist Vadim Muranov believes that the Unified State Examination will not be improved by decorative changes, and the Ministry of Education will not agree to radical changes. First of all, according to him, it is necessary to dilute the exams for the certificate at school and for entering the university.

Vadim Muranov is convinced that today all schoolchildren are enrolled as applicants by default. This is not true. The university exam should be different - more difficult, more focused. Those who really need it should enter universities.

Assignments in astronomy by 2019 will be included in the exam in physics

Assignments in astronomy by 2019 will be included in the options for the unified state exam (USE) in physics, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science reported.

"By 2019, tasks in astronomy will be included in the control and measuring materials in physics," the report says.

At the same time, it is specified that the inclusion of astronomy in the number of subjects for which the USE is conducted, including on a voluntary basis, is not planned. In addition, no earlier than 2019, it is planned to carry out all-Russian verification work in astronomy.

The Ministry of Education and Science reminded that andthe study of astronomy as a compulsory subject is introduced in Russian schools from the 2017-2018 academic year. At the same time, each school has the right to independently decide on the inclusion of astronomy in the schedule from September 1, 2017 or later - from January 1, 2018.

The determining factor, as explained in the department, is the actual readiness of the school for high-quality teaching of this subject. In addition, schools have the right to decide from which grade to start studying astronomy - from the tenth or eleventh. It is important that the volume of hours for studying the subject for the entire period is at least 35 hours.

The ministry compromised

According to the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Olga Vasilyeva has repeatedly emphasized that no cardinal changes in the Unified State Examination are expected in the near future, but “what is already there will be polished - in particular, the reduction of the test part.”

According to Olga Letkova, chairman of the Association of Parents' Committees and Communities of Russia, parents have been struggling with the test part for a long time. And the ministry even compromised by adding assignments for the Russian language.

As Olga Letkova noted, instead of replacing the test with an essay, children now write an essay, then a presentation, and then a test.

Representatives of the "Teacher" trade union saw the main problems with the USE not only among schoolchildren. Since the regions are responsible for the remuneration of teachers and technical specialists who organize the exam, in a third of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation such work is not paid at all, and the amount of payment, if any, varies from 40 rubles per day in the Altai Territory to 300-400 rubles per hour in Moscow .

The Ministry of Education and Science knows about the problem, but so far they cannot solve it. The salary of a teacher is tied to the average for the region, and since there is no equality among subjects, this is reflected in payments.

Despite the ambiguous attitude towards compulsory state exams among school graduates and their parents, the abolition of the USE in 2019 should definitely not be expected. Judging by the trend that took place in 2017 and 2018, students will have to prepare even better for the final tests and start preparing not at the beginning of the 11th grade, but much earlier.

If in the 2018-2019 academic year you have to finish school and choose a university, we strongly recommend that today you become interested in such questions as:

Required subjects

Although today it is too early to talk about any final decisions regarding the final tests, which should take place in the 2018-2019 academic year, nevertheless, employees of the Ministry of Education and Science are ready to slightly lift the veil of mystery. We managed to find out that in 2019, new compulsory subjects will definitely appear in the Unified State Examination.

The total number of compulsory subjects has not yet been determined. A team of specialists is working on this, weighing all the pros and cons of introducing new tests in various subjects.

History will definitely be added to the compulsory subjects (basic or specialized mathematics and Russian) in 2019. The Ministry of Education and Science focuses on the fact that every citizen should know the history of their country and be able to distinguish historical facts from profanities and fakes, which in recent years have begun to appear more and more often against the backdrop of confrontation between countries in the information field.

As a subject of choice, graduates will be able to choose:

• social science;
• physics;
• chemistry;
• informatics;
• foreign language;
• geography;
• biology;
• literature.

The list of foreign languages ​​available for delivery will include: English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese.

As before, tests for future applicants will begin at the beginning of winter with the writing of the December essay, which has already become a traditional start of the graduation campaign.

Thus, already today, studying in the 10th grade, future graduates must decide in which direction they would like to continue their education and decide how many and what subjects they need to take for this at the USE in 2019.

Innovations and changes in the USE 2019

If you believe the promises of Vasilyeva, then there will be no cardinal changes in the 2018-2019 season. The innovations introduced in 2017 and 2018 have proved to be excellent, and therefore will be preserved in the new exam tickets.

The following important changes are expected:

1. Compulsory oral part in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language (the exam will be divided into two days).
2. Development of new KIM in literature, focused on the disclosure of the creative potential of the examinee.
3. Adding the so-called “integrated problems” to the mathematics tickets, for the solution of which students will need to accumulate knowledge from different areas of algebra and geometry.
4. The Informatics exam will be held only with the use of a PC (without the "paper" part).
5. Tightening the rules aimed at ensuring the reliability of the result.

Perhaps for schoolchildren who did not take a responsible enough approach to the study of individual subjects and realized their lack of knowledge only when they moved to grade 11, information about how many subjects they have to take at the exam in 2019 will be frightening. But, the purpose of such innovations is to provide competitive universities of the country with students with the necessary amount of knowledge.

For more information about the innovations that are expected in the Unified State Exam, see the interview with Olga Vasilyeva.

USE calendar for 2019

According to the approved schedule of the Unified State Exam, graduates of the 2018-2019 academic year will write the December essay on the following dates:

• main session - 12/05/18;
• 1st retake — 02/06/19;
• 2nd retake - 05/08/19.

The early period will run from 03/20/19 to 04/10/19 according to the established schedule:

The calendar of the main session of the exam in 2019 will be as follows:

In September, graduates will be able to retake only compulsory subjects. The transfer schedule will be as follows:

Minimum and passing scores

Completing the tasks of the exam, the graduate gains test scores, which are converted into final results on a certain scale. Whether there will be changes in the 2019 table is not yet known. But, with a high degree of probability, it can be argued that the system of the minimum and passing score will remain.

• Minimum score- a necessary condition for obtaining a document on education. It is not difficult to score a minimum score in subjects. To do this, it is enough to master the theory and practice at a basic level.
• Passing score- a necessary condition for entry into the university chosen by the graduate. Information about passing scores for a particular specialty at the university of interest should be sought on the official website of the educational institution.

Retake

One of the good news is the fact that in 2019 it will be possible to retake not only compulsory subjects, but also any USE exam. But, only one!

There will be no retakes for graduates of previous years who received an unsatisfactory result, as well as for those who “failed” more than 1 subject or were convicted of violating discipline.

If the graduate could not appear on the day of the test for a good reason (documented), then he will receive 2 more attempts.

• on the reserve day of the session;
• during the fall session.

Since the USE certificate remains valid for 4 years, the autumn retake opens up the prospect of entering a university next year, or even in 2019-2020, to faculties with a shortage of students.

Training

Reading our article today, you thought in time about preparing for the final tests that await you in the 11th grade.

Experienced teachers, who have years of effective preparation of graduates for the Unified State Exam, recommend going to the intended goal according to the following algorithm:

1. Determine which faculty you would like to enter.
2. Find out what compulsory subjects (USE certificates) the university requires from applicants in 2019.
3. Get acquainted with what changes are expected in 2019 in the main subjects of the Unified State Examination (the official website of the FIPI will help with this).
4. Step by step repeat all the topics of the school course in subjects, practicing the solution of trial tickets in 2018 and 2019.
5. Attend exam preparation courses or contact a tutor.

Unfortunately, practice shows that just a good knowledge of the subject is not enough for the successful passing of the exam. It takes practice to solve tasks of a certain type. Gaining experience in solving USE tickets while preparing for exams, students form a strategy for completing assignments and gain self-confidence, which is an indispensable assistant in achieving success.

We also offer to watch a video of the All-Russian meeting of the head of Rosobrnadzor with parents, at which issues important for future graduates were raised.

The education system in Russia is constantly changing. This is due to many factors, including the fact that new discoveries appear every day in many areas of science, as well as general changes in the dynamics of everyday life require different skills, abilities and ways of thinking from a modern person. The main criterion for assessing knowledge in Russia, which provides compulsory secondary education, is the Unified State Examination, which will be affected by some changes in 2018. We will talk about them today.

Compulsory subjects for passing the exam in 2018

As in recent times, students graduating from secondary education in 2018 will take two mandatory exams: mathematics (profile and basic) and Russian. These two exams are required for graduation. The remaining subjects of the exam, graduates pass on a voluntary basis, that is, the student can choose the exam on their own. This approach helps students to prefer a subject that: 1) is either closest to the graduate, that is, he considers it the easiest, or 2) he will need this subject when entering a particular university.

USE subjects to choose from

It should be noted that the optional subjects of the USE in 2018 include the following disciplines: physics, chemistry, history, social science, computer science and ICT, biology, geography, foreign languages, literature.

At the moment, the most frequently chosen elective subject is history. The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation favors such an undertaking, because knowledge of this subject is very important for a modern person. Another part of the students is trying to pass social studies, this is the second most popular subject. In the top three of the optional subjects chosen by students for delivery, there is physics. It is taken by those graduates who are oriented towards admission to technical or engineering universities.

USE 2018: changes and innovations

Just a year ago, the State Duma was talking about the fact that the Unified State Examination will undergo powerful changes. It was assumed that the existing testing system cannot correctly assess the knowledge of graduates, because some results in the end are not true. In this regard, some opponents of educational innovations opposed the USE and advocated its abolition. It is now known with absolute certainty that in 2018 and beyond, the unified state exam will not be canceled. But there are some changes to be expected.

Graduates who will graduate from school in the 2017-2018 academic year should understand that the final changes in the USE will be known no earlier than at the end of 2017 - at the beginning of 2018, this is how the educational system in Russia is arranged.

The unified state exam has undergone many changes since its introduction, especially after the change in the composition of the Department of the Ministry of Education. Recently, the USE has been subjected to widespread criticism, both on behalf of teachers and students. The main complaints are expressed about the excessive requirements for students, absurd assignments, and the imperfection of the system itself in general. In connection with these complaints, proposals are periodically made to cancel the exam, and certain deputies of the STATE DUMA are preparing appropriate bills. But the point of view of the Ministry of Education in this case is unchanged - the USE will not be cancelled. In addition, the exam showed what is the best way to test knowledge. In addition, the ministry agrees that numerous aspects of the USE should be rethought and improved.

Will there be changes in the USE 2018

The state exam will undergo changes, however, over time, so that students can more easily adapt to innovations. The main problem that worries graduates is how the list of compulsory disciplines will change in 2018. Former head of the Ministry of Education Dmitry Livanov said that the list of testing disciplines will be increased to 6. According to his project, 1 subject was added to the list in 2017, and in 2018 – already 3 subjects: 1 compulsory and 2 optional. After Olga Vasilyeva became the head of the ministry, adjustments were made to the plans.

Planned changes in the USE 2018: so in 2018 the list of compulsory subjects will be replenished by only 1, the name of the subject has not yet been determined. Experts believe that probably the 3rd compulsory subject will be history, as it is an integral element of the patriotic education of the future generation.

The next contender for inclusion in the list of compulsory subjects is social science, very popular for its ease, in which case the tasks will be complicated.

It cannot be ruled out that, along with mathematics and the Russian language, schoolchildren will have to take physics in order to increase the demand of applicants for technical specialties. But this is still a controversial issue, because not all high school students plan to continue their studies in the field of engineering.

USE physics 2018 changes:

1. The 1st part is increased by 1 basic level exercise, for elements of astrophysics.
2. In terms of the sum of the initial score for the entire work, there were changes from 50 to 52 points.

USE Chemistry 2018:

• Lack of a test part.
• Mandatory short answer to simple questions in the form of a word or number.

Unified State Examination Informatics 2018 - no changes are expected. In the exam 2018 biology - no changes are provided.

According to Olga Vasilyeva, it becomes clear that most of the changes will be made to testing in literature.

USE literature 2018 changes:

1. They will remove the test part for checking terms with a short answer, the exam will become more creative.
2. The number of topics for an essay will increase from 3 to 4-5, and the volume of an essay will increase to 250 instead of 200 words.
3. It is planned to simplify the analysis of the work, the text must be compared with one remembered, instead of two.

In conclusion, we note that the USE in 2018 is expected to undergo certain changes, but they will by no means become drastic.
