Решение 2.

Объясните, в чем разница между этими парами слов. При необходимости используйте словарь.

Ответ:

1. to mount — to go up/to walk up

To mount usually means to get on or up onto something, especially something you can sit on, like a horse or a bicycle. To go up or to walk up are more general terms for moving to a higher position, like walking up the stairs or going up a mountain.

(To mount обычно означает взобраться на что-либо, особенно на то, на чем можно сидеть, например, на лошадь или велосипед. To go up или to walk up — это более общие термины для обозначения перемещения на более высокую позицию, например, подъем по лестнице или восхождение на гору.)

2. a teacher — a tutor

A teacher is a person whose job is to teach in a school or college, usually to a whole class of students. A tutor is a private teacher who teaches a single student or a very small group, often giving extra help in a particular subject.

(Teacher (учитель) — это человек, чья работа — преподавать в школе или колледже, обычно целому классу учеников. Tutor (репетитор) — это частный преподаватель, который обучает одного ученика или очень маленькую группу, часто оказывая дополнительную помощь по конкретному предмету.)
