Sore throats

In the case of sore throats, the most effective remedy is bacon. Cut slices of fat, boneless bacon and season it well with black pepper. This should be tied around the patient’s throat using a cotton bandage and worn for several hours until the pain decreases.

Poor appetite

There are several remedies which are suitable for patients with poor appetites. One can try rubbing the stomach with some chocolate or taking a bath in beef soup. Now that electricity is becoming more popular in the home, one can also put beautiful bright lamps in the dining room.

B

The elderly passenger who was sitting on the north-window-side of that moving train was the one and only Professor Timofey Pnin. Ideally bald, sun-tanned and clean-shaven, he began rather impressively with that great brown dome of his, fashionable glasses (which hid his lack of eyebrows), ape-like upper lips, thick neck and muscular chest, but ended, rather disappointingly, in a pair of skinny legs and almost feminine feet.

FOR YEARS experts have been predicting the growth of men’s cosmetics. The market grew very slowly during the 1990s, but has grown rapidly since 2001. Manufacturers have spent a lot of time and money developing new products and packaging, and finally it looks like their investments were worth it. Sales of men’s deodorants and razors continue to grow, but what is most exciting for the industry is that many products which used to be exclusively female are now being bought by men: skin cream, delicate shampoos, hair styling mousse and anti-ageing products.

Subject: Hi again!

I promised to tell you about the Senior Prom (the formal ball we have to celebrate the end of High School). Our school had hired the ballroom at the Crown Plaza, a posh but pretty uncool hotel in town. Everyone had spent months getting ready for it – it’s really important to have the most flattering hairstyle, the trendiest clothes and of course the right partner on the night! Luckily, I didn’t have a problem – I’d always known my date was Toby ;). My parents bought me a really stunning lemon-coloured dress for the evening.

Anyway, when we arrived at the hotel, all the girls suddenly looked ten years older than the boys. Isn’t that weird?

The Prom started with a big meal, which

3 Посмотрите на информацию ниже. Затем прочтите текст B и определите, какой у него стиль. Как вы думаете, это текст личного характера (например, письмо) или литература?

Ответ:

Text B has a literary/formal style. It uses sophisticated language, long and complex sentences, and does not contain contractions or ellipsis. I think this text is a piece of literature because it is a descriptive passage from a story, not personal writing like a letter.

Текст B написан в литературном/официальном стиле. В нем используется сложный язык, длинные и сложные предложения, и он не содержит сокращений или пропусков слов. Я думаю, что этот текст является отрывком из литературного произведения, потому что это описательный фрагмент из рассказа, а не личное письмо.
