Условие.

13. A. Look at the picture on p. 138, say if you recognise the lady in the photo and what you know about this famous crime-story writer and her novels.

B. Read the text about her and say what new information about Agatha Christie you have learned.

Dame Agatha Christie (1890–1976) is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. She began writing at the end of the First World War, when she created Hercule Poirot — the most popular sleuth in fiction since Sherlock Holmes. Poirot, Miss Marple and her other detectives have appeared in numerous films, radio programmes, television films and stage plays based on her books.

Apart from crime stories Agatha Christie wrote six romantic novels under the pen name Mary Westmacott, several plays, a book of poems and an autobiography. She assisted her archaeologist husband Sir Max Mallowan on many expeditions to the Middle East.

In 1971 she was awarded the title of Dame of the British Empire.

Death Comes As the End is one of her few novels when she steps into the past and lays scene in the exotic setting of Ancient Egypt. In this novel the central character is Renisenb who is newly widowed and who has returned to her father’s household to forget her grief.

Решение 2.

13. A. Посмотрите на фотографию на стр. 138, скажите, узнаете ли вы даму на фото и что вы знаете об этой знаменитой писательнице детективов и ее романах. B. Прочитайте текст о ней и скажите, какую новую информацию об Агате Кристи вы узнали.

Ответ:

13. A. Yes, I recognise the lady in the photo. It's Agatha Christie. I know that she is a very famous writer of detective stories. She wrote many books about the detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. My parents have some of her books at home.

(Да, я узнаю даму на фото. Это Агата Кристи. Я знаю, что она очень известная писательница детективов. Она написала много книг о сыщиках Эркюле Пуаро и мисс Марпл. У моих родителей дома есть несколько ее книг.)

13. B. From the text, I learned that Agatha Christie is known as the Queen of Crime. I didn't know that she also wrote six romantic novels under the pen name Mary Westmacott, as well as plays and poems. It was new for me that she assisted her archaeologist husband on expeditions to the Middle East. I also learned that in 1971 she was awarded the title of Dame of the British Empire and that one of her novels, Death Comes As the End, is set in Ancient Egypt.

(Из текста я узнал, что Агата Кристи известна как «Королева преступности». Я не знал, что она также написала шесть любовных романов под псевдонимом Мэри Уэстмакотт, а также пьесы и стихи. Для меня было новостью, что она помогала своему мужу-археологу в экспедициях на Ближний Восток. Я также узнал, что в 1971 году ей был присвоен титул Дамы Британской империи, и что действие одного из ее романов, «Смерть приходит в конце», происходит в Древнем Египте.)
