5 A. Read the text and give it a title. What do you think the marked words in the text mean? What helped you to understand their meanings: a) the way they look and sound, b) the context, c) both?

Yesterday I took my younger sister to the cinema to see “Matilda”. It is a fairly old children’s film. I can say it is a family film too because I think grown-ups can enjoy it as much as children. The film appeared on the screen in 1996. Its director was Danny DeVito, a famous American actor, who starred [stɑ:d] in the film. Mara Wilson played the leading role, that of Matilda. David Newman wrote music to the film.

“Matilda” is truly enjoyable. It is a gripping and moving film. You love every minute of it. It is a modern American screen version¹ of Roald Dahl’s novel of the same name.

Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) is a very clever and talented girl. One of the great things about her is her love of books. Her family do not understand her and are not interested in her or her wishes. Her father, who sells old cars, refuses to buy her books. Matilda feels very lonely. At the age of four she takes matters in her own hands and begins to visit the library and read lots of books. Though Matilda is too young she asks her parents to send her to school and in the end they agree to do it. At school quite unusual things begin to happen. Matilda finds out that she can move objects. These wonderful telekinetic powers help her to punish the terrible and violent School Head Miss Trunchbull who terrorizes pupils. In the film Matilda believes that when a person is bad, he or she deserves to get a lesson.

There are two types of grown-ups in “Matilda”. Mr and Mrs Wormwood, the girl’s parents, and the Trunchbull, as the children call her, are not pleasant people. They are rather cruel and uncaring. Matilda’s teacher, Miss Jennifer Honey, is, by contrast, kind and she quickly discovers Matilda’s intellectual gifts. The girl develops a warm friendship with Miss Honey.

I think “Matilda” is one of the best films I have ever seen. The actors’ performance is fantastic, the special effects are great, the music is nice. But the most important thing about the film is that it is thought-pro-voking² and helps to develop our imagination and to understand the world around us better.

5. A. Прочитайте текст и дайте ему заголовок. Как вы думаете, что означают выделенные в тексте слова? Что помогло вам понять их значения: а) их внешний вид и звучание, б) контекст, в) и то, и другое? B. Прослушайте (55) и прочитайте текст вслух.

Ответ:

A.

A good title for this text would be "A Review of the Film 'Matilda'". (Хорошим заголовком для этого текста будет "Рецензия на фильм 'Матильда'".)

The meanings of the marked words are:

leading role - the main part in a film. (главная роль - главная партия в фильме.)

talented - having a natural ability to be good at something. (талантливый - обладающий природной способностью что-то хорошо делать.)

telekinetic powers - the ability to move objects using only your mind. (телекинетические способности - способность двигать предметы силой мысли.)

terrorizes - to make someone feel very frightened by threatening them. (терроризирует - сильно пугать кого-либо, угрожая.)

by contrast - used to show that something is different from something else. (в отличие от, напротив - используется, чтобы показать, что что-то отличается от чего-то другого.)

intellectual gifts - special abilities of the mind, being very clever. (интеллектуальные дарования - особые умственные способности, быть очень умным.)

thought-provoking - making you think seriously about a subject. (заставляющий задуматься - то, что заставляет серьезно размышлять на какую-либо тему.)

c) both. The context helped to understand the meaning of most words, for example, "leading role" is about an actress and her part. The way words like "telekinetic" and "intellectual" look and sound also helped, because they are similar to words I already know. (в) и то, и другое. Контекст помог понять значение большинства слов, например, "leading role" говорится об актрисе и ее роли. Внешний вид и звучание таких слов, как "telekinetic" и "intellectual", тоже помогли, потому что они похожи на уже знакомые мне слова.)
