Упр.3b Уроки 1-2 Юнит 5 New Millennium English 11 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 11 класс, Титул: 3B Read the text and answer the questions. What was the author’s purpose in writing? What is the author’s attitude to the programme? Richard Peplinski Chicago, IL, USA The series La Femme Nikita is one of the few that I attempt to regularly tune into each week. Some friends talked me into giving this show a try and I have never regretted it. It is about a woman falsely accused of a murder and sentenced to life in prison. Then people who belong to a counter-terrorism group take her away and make her work for them. The lead character Nikita (Peta Wilson) is beautiful — tall, blonde, blue-eyed, well-built. She can also offer a full range of acting ability and facial expressions. I’m not a die-hard fan analysing every sentence, glance, or breath of every character in every episode, but I certainly enjoy the show. A person who says this show has poor acting or poor character and plot development is most likely disappointed by any TV series and not being fair to the genre. This show says more with a moment of silence than most shows say in an hour of dialogue. It is impossible for a show that has run as long as this one to dot every «i» and cross every «t», and of course there will be holes. But by and large the show remains true to itself and at the top of its genre. The acting and action are appropriate, the plot works well enough to create suspense and the character development is the best that I’ve witnessed from any long-term series. If you want to see a good drama / action show, watch La Femme Nikita. The next season begins January 9th. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
