Упр.3 Unit 1 ГДЗ Enjoy English 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Биболетова, Бабушис 11 класс, Дрофа: 3 Read the poem. Choose the phrase which best summarises its meaning The poem is about: • the strange features of English • the beauty of English • learning foreign languages No egg in eggplant There is is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; Neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But If we explore its paradoxes, find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. The plural of tooth is teeth, Why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another? When a house burns up, it burns down.You fill in a form by filling it out, and an alarm clock goes off by going on. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
