I asked Sally if she (6) has thought / thinks / thought these couples (7) have / had / were having more chance of splitting up than other couples. She said she (8) don't think / didn't think / haven't thought that was the case. She told me that when famous couples – like Madonna and Guy Ritchie – (9) split up / have split up / did split up, we read about it as it is happening. She explained that this makes us believe it's happening every day. She told me that couples like the actors Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn (10) are / have been / had been together for more than 30 years. But she explained that readers aren't interested in happy news. I asked her (11) what meant / what she meant / what did she mean and she told me that her readers (12) have told her / have told to her / told to her they prefer to read about divorces than weddings.

Что ВЫ думаете?

Ответ:

I think it's a bit sad that readers prefer to read about divorces than weddings. Perhaps it's because people like drama and scandals, but I believe happy news is more uplifting.

Я думаю, что это немного грустно, что читатели предпочитают читать о разводах, а не о свадьбах. Возможно, это потому, что людям нравятся драмы и скандалы, но я считаю, что хорошие новости более воодушевляющие.
