Упр.5 Юнит 2 Step 2 ГДЗ Rainbow English 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Афанасьева, Михеева 11 класс, Дрофа: 5 Below you’ll find some statements taken from a book about Russia. The book was written about 20 years ago by a British author. Read the statements, say how true they are and comment on them.
• All Russian children learn a lot of Pushkin by heart. (How many of them remember what they have learned?)
• One of the worst things you can do is to call a Russian “nekulturny” (uncultured).(How many people will pay attention to it nowadays?)
• Russian films are long and often boring. (How can all films be so?)
• Easter is not a national holiday, but to the Russians it is the most important festival in the church calendar, because it marks the rising of Jesus from the dead. (But a lot of people living in Russia are not Christians.)
• The Russians celebrate their name day as well as their birthday. (Sure? All of them?)
• The biggest national celebrations are held on New Year’s Eve. Everyone has a party and gathers round the television to see the Kremlin clock striking midnight. (Doesn’t it rather depend?)
• Russian culture deals with big things — from Tchaikovsky’s symphonies to Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace. (And how about short stories or beautiful songs?)
• Most Russian children know the classic English children’s books: Winnie the Pooh, Peter Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland and Treasure Island. (Do they know them as books or films?)
• Every generation explores the world of Russian fairy tales. (How many children read them themselves?)

These statements are rather general and partly stereotypical. Some of them may be true for many people, but not for all Russians.

1. It is true to some extent, but not all Russian children learn a lot of Pushkin by heart, and not all of them remember what they have learned.
2. This is probably less true nowadays. Calling someone “nekulturny” may still sound rude, but many people will not pay much attention to it.
3. This is an exaggeration. Russian films are not all long and boring; there are many different kinds of films.
4. This is true for many Russians, but not for everyone, because not all people living in Russia are Christians.
5. This is not true for all Russians. Some people celebrate their name day, but many do not.
6. This is partly true, but it depends on the family. Not everyone has a party or watches the Kremlin clock on TV.
7. This is a broad generalization. Russian culture includes not only big works, but also short stories, songs and other forms of art.
8. This may be true for many children, but they often know these books through films or cartoons rather than as books.
9. This is true to some extent, but not every child reads fairy tales independently; many hear them from parents or teachers.
