Задача

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 11 класс, Титул: 5 TV Guardian is a device that filters out offensive language from television. • Read this letter from a TV viewer who bought a TV Guardian. • It is written in British English. • Correct the underlined words according to the norms of American English. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for a great product! We have had our TV Guardian for a couple of months and it’s wonderful to be able to sit down in front of the (1) telly with your family, invite the (2) neighbours and watch your (3) favourite (4) film without being bombarded with that (5) rubbish. There is a number of good (6) films out there that we’ve not watched because of the language. Now, that’s not a big problem! My wife runs a childcare (7) centre in our home and the TV Guardian helps in that situation as well. There are many (8) programmes that are fun to watch, but also contain language that is inappropriate. We hope to order a second unit when funds are available. Again, thanks for a wonderful product. We will, as soon as we can afford it, (9) realise our dream about the second TV/VCR in the (10) flat! I’m spreading the word about TV Guardian. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
