Как выполнять похожее задание
- Сначала читай вопросы и подчёркивай в них главное слово: Where, What…like, Did, How, What happened, Why.
- Не ищи в тексте точно такие же предложения — ищи смысловые подсказки:
- Where → слова о месте: house, country, living room;
- weather → stormy;
- Did anyone see… → no one had seen;
- feel → прилагательные чувств: confused, scared, relieved;
- Why → причина после so или because.
- В вопросе №3 есть ловушка: в тексте сказано leave the room, а не leave the house. Но Энди нашли в той же комнате на диване, поэтому дом он не покидал.
- Проверь ответы по порядку текста: вопросы 1–2 — начало, 3–4 — середина, 5–6 — конец.
