Номер 2, страница 93 - гдз по английскому языку 10 класс учебник Юхнель, Наумова

2. a)

Read the diary entry from Growing Pains by Sue Townsend. The main character of the book Adrian Mole is a teenager. What kind of family does he live in? Do you think his parents are pushy and controlling?

Tuesday June 29th

Usual last minute discussion about where we are going for our summer holiday. My father said, “It’ll probably be our last. This time next year we’ll have the baby”. My mother got mad, she said that having a baby was not going to restrict her. She said that if she felt like walking in the Hindu Kush next year, then she would strap the baby on her back and go. The Hindu Kush! She moans if she has to walk to the bus stop. I suggested the Lake District. I wanted to see if living there for a bit would help my poetry.

My father suggested Skegness. My mother suggested Greece. Nobody could agree, so we wrote our choices on pieces of paper and put them into a box. We didn’t trust each other to make the draw so my mother went and fetched Mrs Singh.

Mrs Singh and all the little Singhs came and stood in our kitchen. Mrs Singh asked, “Why are you having this procedure, Mrs Mole? Can’t your husband decide?” My mother explained that Mr Mole had no superior status in our house. Mrs Singh looked shocked, but she drew a piece of paper out of the hat. It said ‘Skegness’. Worse luck! Mrs Singh excused herself, saying that she must get back to prepare her husband’s meal.

c) Find the Lake District and Skegness on the map. Where would you like to go for a holiday?

a) Прочитайте отрывок из дневника из книги Сью Таунсенд «Growing Pains». Главный герой книги, Адриан Моул — подросток. В какой семье он живет? Считаете ли вы его родителей навязчивыми и контролирующими?

b) Отметьте, являются ли утверждения истинными (true), ложными (false) или информация отсутствует (no information available).

c) Найдите Озерный край и Скегнесс на карте. Куда бы вы хотели поехать в отпуск?

Ответ:

a) Adrian lives in a chaotic and dysfunctional family where the parents constantly argue and cannot agree on simple matters, such as a holiday destination. They are not necessarily controlling towards Adrian in this passage, but their relationship is argumentative and they seem self-absorbed rather than pushy or controlling in a coordinated way.

b)

c) The map is not provided in the image. As an AI, I do not have personal preferences for holiday destinations.

Перевод:

a) Адриан живет в хаотичной и неблагополучной семье, где родители постоянно ссорятся и не могут договориться по простым вопросам, таким как место для отпуска. В данном отрывке они не обязательно контролируют Адриана, но их отношения полны споров, и они кажутся скорее эгоцентричными, чем навязчивыми или контролирующими в согласованной манере.

b)

c) Карта в изображении не предоставлена. Как искусственный интеллект, я не имею личных предпочтений относительно мест для отдыха.
