3. Listen and read the book blurbs and choose one of the books. Use -ing or -ed participles and highlighted expressions.

Fact file. A book blurb is a short description on the back of a book which gives an idea of what is inside the cover (обложка).

2. Sir Winston Churchill certainly was a brilliant leader, who led Britain during World War II (1939–1945) and whom many people consider (считают) the saviour ['servjə] of the country. But to stop there is not to know the man at all. He was an outstanding Nobel Prize [‚nəʊbel 'praɪz] winning writer, a painter and a talented orator who is still quoted (цитируется) today. If you read one book about him, make it this one. “Churchill: A Life” save (v) – saviour (n) by Martin Gilbert.

Ответ:

I'd like to read Churchill: A Life. I'm interested in history and I'm fascinated by brilliant leaders like Sir Winston Churchill. He was an outstanding Nobel Prize winning writer, a painter and a talented orator. The blurb states that to stop there is not to know the man at all, which makes me very curious. It's really surprising to learn about the different sides of his personality.

Перевод:

Я хотел бы прочитать «Черчилль: Жизнь». Я интересуюсь историей и меня восхищают такие выдающиеся лидеры, как сэр Уинстон Черчилль. Он был выдающимся писателем, лауреатом Нобелевской премии, художником и талантливым оратором. В аннотации говорится, что остановиться на этом — значит совсем не узнать человека, что вызывает у меня большое любопытство. По-настоящему удивительно узнавать о разных сторонах его личности.
