Speaker A

Living away from home, on the other side of the world, has influenced me in ways that will stay with me for life. Since being in Denmark I have become less shy! I've become more independent and confident in myself and the choices I make. I now feel comfortable approaching strangers and find it easy to form new friendships. I am no longer reserved. Being here and experiencing a different culture, a different lifestyle and a different language has changed my perception of life. I am so much open to the world now.

Speaker B

The most challenging part of my year away was not missing my family and friends in Australia, it was actually learning Spanish. One thing which I loved about Spain was the following. I didn't speak Spanish when I arrived, but everyone made such a big effort in helping me out. They would speak very slowly, use hand gestures, take me out on the weekends and involve me in their culture. I'm so grateful to them! After a few months of listening to Spanish and being very patient, I noticed my Spanish had improved greatly.

Speaker C

My first trip to the States as a naive English teenager was a tremendous culture shock. I grew up in the north of England in a small city with lovely small houses and cottages. When I arrived in Detroit, it was like another planet: high traffic light, huge multi-storeyed buildings, skyscrapers, you name it. It was quite terrifying for a 17-year-old. I got a taxi cab to a shopping mall. Indoors it looked like a town to me. People went out for breakfast and filled themselves at all-you-can-eat buffets. I could not find a café that served just coffee and sandwiches.

Speaker D

I went to Haiti for the first time in January. But no matter how I tried to prepare for the trip, it was a great shock for me, anyway. I saw people living in buildings with no running water or electricity. If you get one meal a day, you are doing good. It broke my heart! Pigs and goats were running around like a dog or a cat does here and nobody bothers them. I wasn't really aware that conditions like that really existed. And there I was seeing it with my own eyes. Nothing really prepared me for the culture shock I'd experienced upon visiting Haiti that time.

Сопоставьте утверждения (1–5) со спикерами (A–D). Есть одно лишнее утверждение.

Ответ:

1. The speaker was impressed by the largeness of the surroundings. (Спикер был впечатлен величиной окружающего.)
Speaker C: "When I arrived in Detroit, it was like another planet: high traffic light, huge multi-storeyed buildings, skyscrapers, you name it. It was quite terrifying for a 17-year-old."
(Спикер C: "Когда я приехал в Детройт, это было похоже на другую планету: светофоры с интенсивным движением, огромные многоэтажные здания, небоскребы, что угодно. Это было довольно страшно для 17-летнего подростка.")

2. The speaker talks about his/her character changes. (Спикер говорит об изменениях своего характера.)
Speaker A: "Since being in Denmark I have become less shy! I've become more independent and confident in myself... I am so much open to the world now."
(Спикер A: "С тех пор, как я в Дании, я стала менее застенчивой! Я стала более независимой и уверенной в себе... Теперь я намного более открыта миру.")

3. The speaker explains how to prepare yourself for culture shock. (Спикер объясняет, как подготовиться к культурному шоку.)
Данное утверждение является лишним, так как ни один из спикеров не даёт советов по подготовке к культурному шоку.
(This statement is extra, as none of the speakers provide advice on how to prepare for culture shock.)

4. The speaker describes an unexpected travelling experience. (Спикер описывает неожиданный опыт путешествия.)
Speaker D: "But no matter how I tried to prepare for the trip, it was a great shock for me, anyway... Nothing really prepared me for the culture shock I'd experienced upon visiting Haiti that time."
(Спикер D: "Но как бы я ни старался подготовиться к поездке, это все равно было для меня большим шоком... Ничто по-настоящему не подготовило меня к культурному шоку, который я пережил, посетив Гаити в тот раз.")

5. The speaker says he/she appreciated the attitude of the local people. (Спикер говорит, что он/она оценил(-а) отношение местных жителей.)
Speaker B: "everyone made such a big effort in helping me out. They would speak very slowly, use hand gestures, take me out on the weekends and involve me in their culture. I'm so grateful to them!"
(Спикер B: "все очень старались мне помочь. Они говорили очень медленно, использовали жесты, брали меня с собой на выходные и вовлекали в свою культуру. Я так им благодарен!")
