1. How old is your town or city?

2. Do you know of any very new cities? Where are they? What are they like?

Read the text. Answer the questions.

My name is Fahad. I live in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is hot and dry, and has big, modern cities and a beautiful desert.

Modern cities use a lot of energy. Many countries use oil to make energy for homes, schools, factories and cars. But, in the future, there might not be enough oil and it causes pollution, too, so it's a good idea to use new and cleaner ways of making energy.

In the future, we want to have cities that are even better than the ones we have today. That's why engineers here in the UAE are building Masdar City. It's a new kind of city. It will have clean air, cool homes and streets, no pollution and no traffic problems. Engineers have already completed some parts of the city!

1. What is the weather like in the UAE?

2. What kind of energy do many countries use in their homes and cars?

3. Why does Fahad say people need new ways of making energy?

4. What good things does Fahad say Masdar City will have?

Как понять и выполнить похожее задание

В заданиях на понимание текста (reading comprehension) не нужно переводить каждое слово. Главный приём — сканирование: читаем вопрос, выделяем в нём ключевые слова и ищем их в тексте. Порядок вопросов обычно совпадает с порядком абзацев.

1. What is the weather like in the UAE?
Ключевое слово — weather (погода). Смотрим первый абзац. Находим: "The UAE is hot and dry". Значит, ответ: It is hot and dry.

2. What kind of energy do many countries use in their homes and cars?
Ключевые слова — energy, homes and cars. Ищем во втором абзаце: "Many countries use oil to make energy for homes... and cars". Ответ: они используют нефть (oil).

3. Why does Fahad say people need new ways of making energy?
Вопрос на причину (Why). Во втором абзаце дано объяснение: "there might not be enough oil" (нефти может не хватить) и "it causes pollution" (она вызывает загрязнение). В ответе нужно соединить обе причины: Because there might not be enough oil in the future, and it causes pollution.

4. What good things does Fahad say Masdar City will have?
Ищем в тексте название Masdar City (третий абзац). Там идёт прямое перечисление: "It will have clean air, cool homes and streets, no pollution and no traffic problems". Просто выписываем этот список.

Проверка: Я проверил, что все ответы дословно подтверждаются текстом. В четвёртом вопросе местоимение It заменяет Masdar City — для краткого ответа это грамматически верно.
