Решение
Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A: I don't get on well with my parents. It's like every time I want to do something, they say no. So I get in a row with them over stuff. I don't understand what the big deal is in letting me make my own choices yet they insist on my doing things their way. It's really frustrating. It's not like I'm a baby anymore. As soon as I graduate from school, I'm moving out. I can't wait. In just two more years, I won't have to see my parents again.
→ Ключевая идея: постоянные ссоры и конфликты с родителями делают жизнь дома неспокойной. Говорящий мечтает съехать, чтобы избежать этого. Это соответствует утверждению 6. Sometimes it's hard to find peace at home. (Speaker A – 6)
Speaker B: You see, I've just graduated from uni with a degree in journalism. I've got a job lined up with National Geographic starting next month. I tell you, most credit for my success at college goes to my parents. They've always been there for me through the good and the bad. They've cheered me on when I was about to give up on my dreams. I am forever grateful to them. I couldn't have become the person I am today without their help.
→ Ключевая идея: говорящий прямо выражает благодарность родителям за их поддержку, которая помогла ему добиться успеха. Это соответствует утверждению 2. I'm thankful to my parents for their support. (Speaker B – 2)
Speaker C: My mom and I are very close friends. She works a lot but finds the time to be with me. And I mean quality time, not just watching TV together without even talking. We can go to a café, for example, and talk over a sandwich and a coffee. I can tell her everything. She listens to me and knows exactly what to say to make me feel good about myself or the situation. Um…if someone asks me who my best friend is, I will definitely say my mom.
→ Ключевая идея: мама для говорящего — лучший друг, потому что она слушает, понимает и поддерживает. Это соответствует утверждению 4. A parent can make a true friend. (Speaker C – 4)
Speaker D: I've got a complicated family. Yeah, my mom and dad got divorced five years ago when I was nine. I stayed with my mom and visited my dad only every other weekend. I'd love those weekends because my dad and I would go to football and baseball games, buy coke and popcorn and cheer for our favorite teams. We don't do that anymore because my dad remarried and my stepmother doesn't want him away on the weekends. So we have to stay home and watch our games on TV.
→ Ключевая идея: из-за развода родителей и повторного брака отца привычный уклад жизни изменился, и говорящему приходится смириться с новыми обстоятельствами. Это соответствует утверждению 1. There are times when we need to accept change. (Speaker D – 1)
Speaker E: Well, if someone asks me who my role model is, I will choose my dad, no doubt about that. He's not famous or rich or even well educated. Yet, he is hardworking and very dedicated to his family. He's always been sensitive to our needs and has worked hard to provide for us. He is always quick to help those in need. He's been doing our neighbor's yard work for the last ten years because she is an old widow and doesn't have much money to hire someone to mow her lawn.
→ Ключевая идея: говорящий считает отца своим образцом для подражания, восхищается его трудолюбием, заботой о семье и готовностью помогать другим. Это соответствует утверждению 3. I'd like to be like my parent. (Speaker E – 3)
Speaker F: I've got three brothers but I am adopted and they are not. But I don't mind because our parents treat us all the same and I never feel different from them. Eh…I feel a part of our family and I am very happy that they took me in when I could have been in an orphanage. My brothers are so nice to me. I am their little sister, you know. They stand up for me at school when bigger kids try to bully me. My parents always say "look out for each other" because you are family. So we do.
→ Ключевая идея: говорящая удочерена, но это не мешает ей чувствовать себя полноценным членом семьи, потому что любовь и забота не зависят от кровного родства. Это соответствует утверждению 7. Family is not always about blood relation. (Speaker F – 7)
