Modern Robinson Crusoes and Their Guitar

There is a little island called Ata, in the warm South Sea, where it is summer all year round. Nobody lives on the island — ships don’t stop at Ata — it has no connections with the outside world. But once, ‘The Merry Sandra’ suddenly changed her course and headed to the island. Some people travelling on the ship had noticed some small moving figures on a hill not far from the sea coast. They were trying to attract someone’s attention, were shouting and jumping up and down.

The captain decided to find out who was there. When it became clear that the ship was coming towards the island, the small figures ran down the hill and rushed into the water to meet the ship as soon as possible. There were six of them, all boys. They didn’t wait for the ship to come nearer, they swam to the ship, climbed up and were soon telling their fantastic story.

Several months before, they had gone out fishing. Their little boat had gone down during a terrible storm, and the sea had taken them many kilometres from their homeland to this little island.

As soon as they recovered from the storm and from a hard sea journey, the boys had managed their life very well. They had chosen a leader first. Each boy had his own duties. Their food was birds, birds’ eggs, fruit, fish, whatever they could find on the ground, in the air and in the water. Fortunately there were a lot of birds on the island and fresh clean water too. Robinson Crusoes had even made a kind of guitar. They danced and sang songs that they had made up themselves. They were quite optimistic about their future. They were sure that soon some ship or plane would notice them. Though they had enjoyed their fine life on the island, they were glad to be saved, and were happy to return home to their families.

Решение 2.

121 а) Прочитайте заголовок и предположите, о чем эта история. б) Прочитайте историю и предложите свой заголовок для нее.

Ответ:

a) Based on the title "Modern Robinson Crusoes and Their Guitar", I guess the story is about a group of modern-day kids who get stranded on a deserted island. Like the original Robinson Crusoe, they have to survive on their own. The guitar probably plays an important role in their life on the island, maybe they use it to keep their spirits up and pass the time. (Судя по названию «Современные Робинзоны Крузо и их гитара», я думаю, что история о группе современных ребят, которые оказались на необитаемом острове. Как и оригинальный Робинзон Крузо, они должны выживать самостоятельно. Гитара, вероятно, играет важную роль в их жизни на острове, возможно, они используют ее, чтобы поддерживать свой дух и коротать время.)

b) My own title for this story would be "Six Boys on Ata Island" or "The Song of Survival". (Мой собственный заголовок для этой истории был бы «Шестеро мальчиков на острове Ата» или «Песня выживания».)
