Anna thinks that Ben wouldn’t like going to Florida after all. G. Ben would like to meet Mickey Mouse.

Now we are ready to start. Anna: Hi Ben! How was school today? Ben: Hey Anna! School was all right. How are you? Anna: I've got such exciting news, Ben! You won't believe it! Ben: What is it, Anna? I hope it's good. Anna: Mom and Dad are taking us to Disney World in Florida in June, after school is out! Ben: Disney World?! Are you serious? Which part of it should I be excited about?! Anna: Oh, Ben! All of it! We'll see the Magic Kingdom and stay in a hotel there for three days! Ben: Anna, don't you think we're just a bit old for that? When was the last time we watched a cartoon? Anna: Come on, Ben! There've been really awesome cartoons lately. I've watched them all. It's not my fault you've refused to go see them with me. Remember I went with Mom and Dad to the cinema when Cars was playing? And not too long ago it was How to Train Your Dragon. Why didn't you go? Ben: That would have been really embarrassing, Anna. Anna: But why? When I go with my friends, half of the audience is adults. Ben: Ha! Of course they are. They bring their kids to see the cartoon. Anna: Not always. I've seen couples alone, without kids. Last time a new big-screen cartoon came out, Mom and Dad went to see it on their date night. Remember? Ben: Well okay, but we aren't adults. We're teens, and teens don't watch kid's movies. We like to watch action films and horror films, not some children's stories about toys or fairytale characters. Anna: You can't be right. My friends watch cartoons all the time. Especially those in a series like The Simpsons and Futurama. Those are not for children at all, if you ask me. Ben: You have a point there. I watch those with my pals all the time. Those are made for more grown-up audiences. But Disney?! Anna: They do some serious stuff nowadays, and you know it. They have state-of-the-art technology to make great films. Sometimes it's even hard to tell it's an animated film—it is so good! Sometimes you forget there are no real actors in cartoons! Anna: Admit it, Ben. You're just being stubborn. Now you are excited to go to Florida as much as I am! Ben: Florida does sound like fun after all. I guess it's okay that we are going to Disney World, but only if I get to see those famous mouse characters, Mickey and Minnie! Anna: Oh, Ben! A. Anna is looking forward to the family holiday. Ключевая фраза: "exciting news", "All of it!" – Анна явно рада и ждёт поездку. → 1 (True) B. Ben has watched all Disney cartoons. Ключевая фраза: "I've watched them all. It's not my fault you've refused to go see them with me." и "Why didn't you go?" – Анна говорит, что Бен отказался смотреть эти мультфильмы, что в контексте разговора о Диснее означает, что он их не смотрел. Следовательно, утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) C. Anna thinks that only parents with children go to the cinema to see cartoons. Ключевая фраза: "Not always. I've seen couples alone, without kids." – Анна опровергает это мнение. → 2 (False) D. Ben and his friends watch cartoons at Ben's house. Ключевая фраза: "I watch those with my pals all the time." – Бен говорит, что смотрит с друзьями, но не уточняет место. В тексте об этом ничего не сказано. → 3 (Not stated) E. Anna thinks that some cartoons are like feature films. Ключевая фраза: "Sometimes it's even hard to tell it's an animated film—it is so good! Sometimes you forget there are no real actors in cartoons!" – она считает, что некоторые мультфильмы настолько качественные, что их трудно отличить от фильмов с живыми актёрами. → 1 (True) F. Anna thinks that Ben wouldn't like going to Florida after all. Ключевая фраза: "Now you are excited to go to Florida as much as I am!" – она считает, что Бен тоже взволнован, а не наоборот. → 2 (False) G. Ben would like to meet Mickey Mouse. Ключевая фраза: "I get to see those famous mouse characters, Mickey and Minnie!" – он хочет увидеть Микки Мауса. → 1 (True)

Jinny is skeptical about the idea of the competition. E. Jinny is good at drawing posters. F. The play should be uploaded to the Internet. G. Jinny thinks they have enough time to prepare.

Now we are ready to start. Sean: Hi Jinny! Have you heard the news? Jinny: You've won the first prize in a competition? Sean: Not yet. But I'm going to, and you'll help me. Jinny: Wow, you're kidding. Sean: I'm not. I've found information on the Internet about a competition for young learners, which is open to all pupils who are innovative and creative. We've already been studying Greek for four years. I think that it's such a nice opportunity to show everyone how interesting the language and the culture of Greece is. Jinny: I knew that you love Greek, but I didn't know that you're THAT crazy about it. Sean: I am. You know that The Greek Legends is my favorite book. It is always near my bed, and I can reread particular parts whenever I want. Anyway, will you help me? Jinny: First of all, tell me what should we do. Sean: We need to choose a story. Actually, I've already chosen one. It's a story about Athena—the birth of Athena, to be exact. Then we should write the script, as it's a theatrical competition. Jinny: Oh, and afterwards probably we'll need people ready to spend all their free time sewing costumes, memorizing lines and rehearsing without a break for lunch. Sean: It's not that bad. Jinny: Definitely not. It's worse. We don't know how to write scripts. We don't have many friends who speak Greek and who are interested in acting. Sean: Well, as for the script, we can do a search on the Internet and find some books or articles of famous Hollywood screenwriters. They might be very helpful. I've already seen one. Then you can draw a "Wanted" poster and put it at the board near the drama classroom. Believe me, in two days we'll have an eager and enthusiastic team. Jinny: Okay, what will be next? Do we need to perform or play live in front of the audience or can we film it? Sean: In the spring we should submit the DVD to the judges. So we have about five months to rehearse, perform, film and crop and edit. Jinny: Okay, sounds as if you have a plan. And the deadline is reasonable. Let's try and see what happens. Who knows, maybe we will triumph in this international competition. A. Sean has been studying Greek since he was 4. Ключевая фраза: "We've already been studying Greek for four years." – Шон говорит, что они изучают греческий четыре года, но не с 4 лет. → 2 (False) B. Sean keeps his favourite book near his bed. Ключевая фраза: "It is always near my bed" – Шон прямо говорит, что его любимая книга всегда лежит рядом с его кроватью. → 1 (True) C. Jinny has chosen a story for the competition. Ключевая фраза: "Actually, I've already chosen one." – Шон говорит, что он уже выбрал историю. Джинни не выбирала историю, выбор сделал Шон. Следовательно, утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) D. Jinny is skeptical about the idea of the competition. Ключевая фраза: "Definitely not. It's worse." и перечисление проблем ("We don't know how to write scripts. We don't have many friends who speak Greek and who are interested in acting.") – Джинни явно выражает сомнение и пессимизм по поводу идеи. Однако в конце она говорит: "Let's try and see what happens." – она соглашается попробовать. Её итоговое отношение не выражено однозначно как скептическое или позитивное, поэтому на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа. → 3 (Not stated) E. Jinny is good at drawing posters. Ключевая фраза: "you can draw a 'Wanted' poster" – Шон просит Джинни нарисовать плакат, но в тексте не сказано, хорошо ли она это умеет. Шон мог попросить её просто потому, что она может ему помочь, а не потому, что она талантлива. В тексте об этом ничего не сказано. → 3 (Not stated) F. The play should be uploaded to the Internet. Ключевая фраза: "we should submit the DVD to the judges" – Шон говорит, что нужно отправить DVD жюри, а не загружать в Интернет. Утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) G. Jinny thinks they have enough time to prepare. Ключевая фраза: "And the deadline is reasonable." – Джинни говорит, что дедлайн разумный, что означает, что она считает время для подготовки достаточным. → 1 (True)

Mary was younger than the other students at her university. D. Mary thinks that regular classes are rather time-consuming. E. Mary thinks that she can't study better than when she was younger. F. Distance learning seems to be very convenient for Mary. G. Mike does not feel disappointed about going to University.

Now we are ready to start. Mike: I'm thirty-nine now, and I resumed my studies when my son started grade one. Now I'm very happy that I made up my mind to do this. I'll be graduating in April, and hopefully start teaching high-school English in September. Mary: What had you been doing before you went to university? Mike: I had been doing administrative work for thirteen years straight out of high school. I had got very tired and fed up with the low pay and the monotonous nature of the work. So I started university. Mary: That's a right decision indeed. As for me, I went to university at more or less the normal age. I was actually twenty-one at the time. But I did so miserably that the university suggested that I not return. Since then I've been basically wasting my time. Mike: And what are your plans? Mary: You see, one day I was fiddling around on the web and found some information about distance learning. It's fabulous if you can't take the time out to go to people-filled classes because you can work it around your own schedule. Mike: Yes, I think the fact that you can do the work in your own space and your own time is really helping. Mary: Of course, I will have deadlines to meet, but they're not the same as the in-class sort. Handing things in doesn't depend on anyone else's office hours or class times, which is really handy. I will only have to contact my tutors when I want to or need to, or when I'm required to do an oral quiz or exam. Mike: I think it's a very good idea. Going to university was the best thing I have ever done. I found it was more fun than I expected, and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. I learnt so much about myself, and I'm very proud of my accomplishments. Mary: And I expect my ability to study to be much better than it used to be, and things come much more easily. Well, I still see doing some of the work as a chore, at least this time around I'm actually enjoying it. A. Mike's administrative work was very well paid. Ключевая фраза: "I had got very tired and fed up with the low pay" – Майк говорит, что его административная работа была низкооплачиваемой. Утверждение "very well paid" противоречит тексту. → 2 (False) B. Mary did not do well at University because she had to earn her living. Ключевая фраза: "I did so miserably that the university suggested that I not return." – Мэри говорит, что училась плохо, но причина её неуспеваемости в тексте не указана. → 3 (Not stated) C. Mary was younger than the other students at her university. Ключевая фраза: "I went to university at more or less the normal age. I was actually twenty-one at the time." – Мэри говорит, что поступила в обычном возрасте, но не сравнивает себя с другими студентами. → 2 (False) D. Mary thinks that regular classes are rather time-consuming. Ключевая фраза: "It's fabulous if you can't take the time out to go to people-filled classes because you can work it around your own schedule." – Мэри говорит, что дистанционное обучение удобно, если у вас нет времени посещать обычные занятия. Однако она не утверждает прямо, что регулярные занятия времязатратны. → 3 (Not stated) E. Mary thinks that she can't study better than when she was younger. Ключевая фраза: "I expect my ability to study to be much better than it used to be, and things come much more easily." – Мэри ожидает, что её способность учиться станет лучше, чем раньше. Утверждение противоречит тексту. → 2 (False) F. Distance learning seems to be very convenient for Mary. Ключевые фразы: "you can work it around your own schedule", "Handing things in doesn't depend on anyone else's office hours or class times, which is really handy" – Мэри перечисляет преимущества дистанционного обучения и называет его удобным. → 1 (True) G. Mike does not feel disappointed about going to University. Ключевая фраза: "Going to university was the best thing I have ever done. I found it was more fun than I expected, and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. I learnt so much about myself, and I'm very proud of my accomplishments." – Майк говорит, что университет был лучшим решением, он гордится достижениями и не разочарован. → 1 (True)

Jane’s sister Diana has been to Spain before. E. Jane is going to do nothing while in Spain. F. Jane often publishes photos on social media. G. Jane and Mark are going to have lunch together.

Now we are ready to start. Mark: Hi Jane! It's so good to see you! You look so happy. I wonder why. Jane: Oh, hi Mark! I haven't seen you for ages! Mark: Well, I'm going shopping—to the new mall in Green Street. Jane: Oh, I haven't been there yet. Have you? Mark: No, I haven't. I'm going shopping for clothes. They say there are big sales on summer clothes right now there. Jane: Who needs new summer clothes in August, Jane? Mark: Well, I do, because I'm going to Spain with my sister Diana in a week. It's a five-star hotel, all-inclusive, the whole nine yards. Jane: That must cost a fortune. Mark: Well, that's the biggest part of my news. Diana has won the lottery. She has a funny habit of buying lottery cards, and we used to make jokes about it. Well, we do not anymore. This trip to Spain is her present for me. So I thought I could afford some new summer clothes, especially considering the sale. Jane: That's great news! My congratulations to Diana. To tell the truth, I thought those happy faces of lottery winners on TV are just fake news because they want more people to participate in lotteries. Now I think I'll have to believe all those incredible stories. Mark: Diana is over the moon. She's going to buy a new car, and she can also pay off the biggest part of her mortgage. Jane: Is she going to travel the world? Mark: Well, not really. You know, she is a journalist, and she has business trips to other countries quite often. She can see the world anyway. Jane: She's so lucky. Mark: Well, she is. Jane: What are you going to do when in Spain? Are you going to just be lazy on the beach? Mark: No, not at all. I've never been to Spain, so I really want to see all the sights of this amazing country. I want to go to all the major museums too. I think we'll divide our time between enjoying the sun and the sea and discovering the treasures of Spanish architecture. Jane: Please post the photos on your Facebook page. I'd really love to see them. Mark: Okay, I promise I will. Jane: I say, Mark, would you like to go to the mall with me? I'm sure you'll find something to do there while I'm buying clothes. Mark: That's not half a bad idea, Jane. We may have lunch there as well. There must be at least one good café there. Jane: That's great! I'll be starving after shopping. Mark: So, what are we waiting for? Let's go! A. Jane has never visited the new mall on Green Street. Ключевая фраза: "I haven't been there yet." – Джейн говорит, что она ещё не была в новом торговом центре. → 1 (True) B. The conversation takes place in autumn. Ключевая фраза: "Who needs new summer clothes in August?" – Марк упоминает август. Август – это лето, а не осень. Утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) C. Jane has to pay for her trip to Spain. Ключевая фраза: "This trip to Spain is her present for me." – Марк говорит, что поездка в Испанию – это подарок от его сестры Дианы. Джейн не собирается в Испанию, поэтому она не платит за эту поездку. → 2 (False) D. Jane's sister Diana has been to Spain before.

В тексте не сказано, как часто Джейн сама публикует фото. → 3 (Not stated) G. Jane and Mark are going to have lunch together.

Katie is now taking a course on lies at the university. E. Nickie is good at hiding her emotions. F. David changed the subject of the conversation. G. William doubts that David is still his best friend.

Now we are ready to start. Will: Will, I'm home! Are you there? Katie: I'm in the kitchen. Will: Oh, hi! What are you doing here with the laptop? Katie: Hi Katie. Remember my birthday party last week? Will: The one that you decided to have a month after the actual date? Yeah, sure. Why? Katie: I was talking to David the other day about why he hadn't shown up, and I think he was not honest with me. It drives me crazy. So I decided to search for some tips about how to detect if a person is lying in the future. I've been pouring over a range of internet resources the whole day. Will: Any results? Katie: Well, it seems this topic is of high interest to people all over the world. There are articles on deception in general, the reasons people lie, some statistics and whatnot. There are tons of comments on body language, statement analysis, microexpressions and even forensic psychology. Will: Anything handy? Or have you got snowed under all this information? Katie: Indeed, it seems too much. Can you help? I know you took a course on lies as part of your university curriculum. Will: I did. And I made a mental list of what I should pay attention to while talking to people. Yet, I'm not an expert on lie detection. Katie: Do tell me. Will: First of all, I reckon that eye direction and lying have nothing in common. You cannot say if a person is being untruthful by noting their eyes moving to your left. Katie: Okay, so no eye tracking. Will: Exactly. Secondly, a guilty person will not necessarily get defensive and turn their head or body away. Think of Nikki, our sister, who typically goes on the offensive and nearly takes your head off if being accused of lying. And in most cases, she is not as innocent as she wants to be. Katie: That's what David did. He went ape on me when I asked him why he wasn't there. Will: Did he try to change the subject? Katie: He didn't. I did. I didn't want to listen to him shouting at me, so abruptly moved to another issue. Will: And…and… Katie: And it seemed that he wanted the subject changed. He became more relaxed, started smiling. His whole face got involved, and gestures seemed to be more natural. Will: So, he was probably untruthful with you. But even so, does it change anything? He is still your best friend, isn't he? Katie: I don't know, Katy. I don't like when people lie to my face. Will: Neither do I. A. William had his birthday last week. Ключевая фраза: "The one that you decided to have a month after the actual date?" – Уильям говорит, что празднование дня рождения было через месяц после фактической даты. Сам день рождения был месяц назад, а не на прошлой неделе. Утверждение не соответствует действительности. → 2 (False) B. William is annoyed at his friend's behaviour. Ключевая фраза: "I think he was not honest with me. It drives me crazy." – Уильям говорит, что друг был нечестен с ним, и это сводит его с ума. → 1 (True) C. Researchers are mostly interested in body language. Ключевая фраза: "There are tons of comments on body language, statement analysis, microexpressions and even forensic psychology." – В тексте перечислены разные области, но не сказано, что исследователей интересует преимущественно язык тела. → 3 (Not stated) D.

Ключевая фраза: "I know you took a course on lies as part of your university curriculum." – Кейти говорит, что Уильям проходил курс о лжи. → 2 (False) E. Nickie is good at hiding her emotions. Ключевая фраза: "Think of Nikki, our sister, who typically goes on the offensive and nearly takes your head off if being accused of lying." – Никки, будучи виноватой, не скрывает эмоций, а наоборот, переходит в нападение. В тексте не сказано, что она хорошо скрывает эмоции. → 3 (Not stated) F. David changed the subject of the conversation. Ключевая фраза: "He didn't. I did." – Кейти говорит, что Дэвид не пытался сменить тему, это сделала она. В тексте также сказано: "And it seemed that he wanted the subject changed." – Дэвид хотел, чтобы тему сменили, но сам он этого не делал. → 2 (False) G. William doubts that David is still his best friend. Ключевая фраза: "He is still your best friend, isn't he?" и "I don't know, Katy." – Уильям отвечает "I don't know" на вопрос о том, является ли Дэвид его лучшим другом. → 1 (True)
