The Gift of Storytelling
Perhaps the best way to spend a cold, winter night in Ireland is to sit in front of the fire and enjoy the company of a Seanachai, a storyteller. Ireland has many stories to tell and they belong to two groups: myths and legends and folk tales. Throughout the years, people passed on stories to form a great tradition.
Myths and legends are stories about giants, saints, warriors and kings. They are tales of heroes who overcome great obstacles, fight with magical beasts and have incredible adventures. One such legend is the story of the noble champion Finn Mac Cumhal and his group of warriors, the Fianna, who protected the High Kings of Ireland.
Folk tales entertain people while teaching them moral values. These stories have the most unusual characters: fairies, elves, leprechauns and many more. The [обрезано]

Folk tales entertain people while teaching them moral values. These stories have the most unusual characters: fairies, elves, leprechauns and many more. The Leprechaun is one of the most popular characters in Irish folklore. Its name means 'small body'. It is a type of fairy that makes shoes and has a hidden treasure: a crock filled with gold. If you catch it, it must tell you the secret location of its treasure immediately. But be careful! It will try to trick you into looking away for a second, and then it will disappear!

Принцип: как вообще решаются такие задания
Три варианта — это три разных ситуации, и путать их нельзя:
- True — в тексте есть предложение, которое говорит то же самое (пусть другими словами или в другом порядке).
- False — в тексте сказано наоборот: подменён глагол, имя, число или место.
- Not stated — о главном в утверждении текст вообще молчит. Не «мне кажется, что нет», а именно «в тексте этого нет».
Рабочий порядок действий:
- Найди в утверждении «зацепку» — имя, место, число, глагол (killed, Scotland, two hundred).
- Найди в тексте предложение с этой зацепкой или с той же темой.
- Сравни деталь за деталью.
Разбор по пунктам
1. Myths and legends tell us about saints, giants, kings and warriors. — True. В тексте: «Myths and legends are stories about giants, saints, warriors and kings». Набор тот же, порядок слов не важен.
2. Mac Cumhal and his group of warriors killed the High Kings of Ireland. — False. В тексте: «…Finn Mac Cumhal and his group of warriors, the Fianna, who protected the High Kings of Ireland». Protected (защищали) заменено на killed (убили) — смысл перевёрнут.
3. If you catch a leprechaun, it must tell you where its treasure is. — True. В тексте: «If you catch it, it must tell you the secret location of its treasure immediately». Сокровище — «a crock filled with gold».
4. There are about two hundred myths and legends in Ireland. — Not stated. В тексте только «Ireland has many stories to tell» — никакого числа нет. Это типичная ловушка: число выглядит правдоподобно, но его в тексте не существует.
5. There are more folk tales about fairies and elves than about leprechauns. — Not stated. Текст перечисляет персонажей (fairies, elves, leprechauns) и говорит, что лепрекон — «one of the most popular characters in Irish folklore», но никакого сравнения количества нет.
6. Irish stories belong to two groups. — True. В тексте: «Ireland has many stories to tell and they belong to two groups: myths and legends and folk tales».
7. … the best way to spend a cold winter night in Scotland. — False. В тексте: «Perhaps the best way to spend a cold, winter night in Ireland is to sit in front of the fire and enjoy the company of a Seanachai, a storyteller». Ирландия заменена на Шотландию — утверждение противоречит тексту.
Проверка себя
- У каждого True должна быть цитата из текста. Нет цитаты — значит Not stated.
- У каждого False должно быть место, где текст говорит иначе. Нет такого места — значит Not stated.
- Галочки в списке на экране — это просто выбранные пункты, а не ответ: их ещё нужно разнести по блокам True / False / Not stated.
