Подробный ответ

6. Comment on one of the statements

East or west, home is best.

People have always travelled, explored new places and learned about different cultures. Some say that the more you travel, the more you understand the world. However, I believe that home is still the best place for everyone.

First of all, home is the place where a person feels safe and comfortable. We know our family, friends, habits and traditions there, so we can relax and be ourselves. Secondly, home gives us emotional support. When we have problems, it is our close people who help us and understand us best. Finally, no matter how interesting other countries are, home always remains the place where we belong.

Of course, some people think that travelling is more exciting than staying at home. They say that it helps us discover new cultures, meet new people and become more independent. I agree that travelling is useful and enjoyable, but it cannot replace the feeling of being at home.

To sum up, travelling is important, but home is still the best place for a person. It gives us peace, love and a sense of belonging.

7. Letter to Diana

Dear Diana,

Thanks for your letter. It’s great to hear that you are having such a wonderful time in Rome. I’m glad you enjoy your school trip and your friends’ company.

Yes, I do go on school trips. Usually we visit museums, historical places, theatres and parks. Sometimes we also go to other cities or take part in educational excursions. If I had a chance, I’d like to go to London, because I’ve always wanted to see its famous sights and improve my English.

What places in Greece are you going to visit? Will you travel with your classmates? Are you looking forward to seeing Athens?

Write back soon.

Best wishes,
Alex

Your total result?

I think my total result could be better. It depends on how well I prepare, how carefully I revise grammar and vocabulary, and how much attention I pay to writing tasks. I am satisfied with my marks only if they reflect my real knowledge. To improve them, I should work more regularly and check my mistakes.

Unit 4 reflection

Unit 4 was interesting and useful. I learned new ideas about travelling, different cultures and the importance of tolerance. Some texts made me think about how people from different countries can understand each other better. The unit also helped me revise grammar and vocabulary.

The easiest tasks were reading and speaking about familiar topics. The most difficult tasks were writing longer texts and expressing my opinion clearly. I especially remember the tasks about travelling and cultural differences because they were thought-provoking and practical.
