Unit 3. In harmony with nature. Step 8 - номер 10, страница 145.

Условие.

10 A. Read the second part of the story by Eric Partridge and write an appropriate title for the whole story.

In her letter to the firm Mrs Robinson ordered a hole.

Two days later she received a letter.

Dear Madam,

We regret to say that, at the moment, we have not got a hole the size you want. But, if you wish us to do so, we will let you know as soon as a hole you need arrives.

Yours faithfully,...

The Robinsons waited, not very patiently and soon received a second letter.

Dear Madam,

We are happy to offer a hole one foot deeper and larger in diameter than the hole you wanted. The client who had ordered it is emigrating to Kenya and selling his house. This larger hole will cost you the same price as the one you've ordered.

Yours faithfully,...

The Robinsons became extremely excited and called the company the same day to say yes.

The hole was transported in a huge truck, driven by Alf, accompanied by Bert. Alf and Bert treated the hole with great care. They took their work very seriously, and Alf often asked Bert if the hole was safe. All went well until they reached a steep hill. While they were climbing it, the hole slipped from their hands and got lost.

Now the Robinsons are thinking of making a new order.

Решение 2.

A. Прочитайте вторую часть рассказа Эрика Партриджа и придумайте подходящее название для всего рассказа.

Ответ:

An appropriate title for the story could be "The Story of a Lost Hole".

(Подходящим названием для рассказа могло бы быть «История о потерянной дыре».)

B. Прочитайте список прилагательных ниже. Выпишите те, которые, по вашему мнению, можно использовать для характеристики рассказа. Объясните, почему вы их выбрали.

Ответ:

Humorous: The story is humorous because the idea of ordering, buying, and transporting a hole is very funny and absurd. (Юмористический: Рассказ смешной, потому что идея заказать, купить и перевезти дыру очень забавная и абсурдная.)

Unusual: The plot is very unusual. People don't order holes, so the entire situation is strange and not something you would normally read about. (Необычный: Сюжет очень необычный. Люди не заказывают дыры, поэтому вся ситуация странная и не похожа на то, о чем обычно читаешь.)

Unrealistic: This story is unrealistic because the main event—buying a physical hole—cannot happen in real life. (Нереалистичный: Этот рассказ нереалистичный, потому что главное событие — покупка физической дыры — не может произойти в реальной жизни.)

Disastrous: The ending is disastrous for the Robinsons. They were very excited to get their hole, but then the workers lost it, which is a disaster for the family. (Катастрофический: Концовка для Робинсонов катастрофическая. Они были так рады получить свою дыру, но потом рабочие её потеряли, что для семьи является катастрофой.)
