Reading. Challenges Read the text and decide if the statements below are TRUE, FALSE or NOT STATED. The greatest challenge in my life People say moving away from home and to a foreign country is one of the most joyful and rewarding experiences, but what they fail to tell you is how difficult it can be and how much you will miss everything about home. Moving away from your comfort zone is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life! [Рисунок: пассажирский самолёт в небе среди облаков] My experience in Bilbao, Spain has not been the easiest! It all started from the minute I arrived at the airport with far too much luggage, which I could only just about manage. Somehow I reached my new place of living with lots of luggage, tired and stressed. Then my next challenge was trying to open a bank account and trying to register before the first week of being here had passed. I was unable to register since I did not have an original copy of my flat contract and therefore I had to ask my landlady who lives in Italy to send me an original signed copy. Nightmare! On top of that, I never thought the hardest challenge to date would be trying to get the Spanish to talk to me in Spanish! When I asked a person for directions or I made a phone call, the person on the other end always replied with, “it is better in English, no?”, which made me annoyed. I was determined to do my best to continue speaking Spanish when people spoke English to me. I even chose to take part in tandem classes with teachers at my school, so that I could speak Spanish! After all, this English girl wanted to speak Spanish and therefore would not be defeated!

Почему так
True. В тексте сказано: люди рассказывают, как это здорово, но «fail to tell you ... how difficult it can be» — не говорят, насколько это может быть трудно. Утверждение это передаёт.
False. Автор говорит: «My experience in Bilbao, Spain has not been the easiest!» — жизнь была непростой. Значит, утверждение «wasn't complicated» противоречит тексту.
False. В тексте: хозяйка квартиры «lives in Italy», а автор — в Бильбао, Испания. Это не один город.
Not stated. В тексте нет информации о том, что автор жила в квартире с другом. Нельзя добавлять то, чего в тексте нет.
False. Автор говорит, что это её раздражало: «which made me annoyed», и она была решительно настроена продолжать говорить по-испански. Она не переключалась на английский «с радостью».
Как различать варианты
- True — текст прямо подтверждает утверждение.
- False — текст прямо противоречит утверждению.
- Not stated — в тексте об этом ничего не сказано; нельзя опираться на догадки.
