Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 11 класс, Титул: 5 A. Read the text and say who is telling the story. I had my treasures laid out on the windowsill. There was Odin’s first collar, matted with hair, one earring, and a half eaten sugar pig. The pig had been my father’s. He’d had it since he was a boy, and on a visit to London I’d come across it, abandoned and forgotten in the debris of his desk. I’d picked it up, stared at it, warmed it in my palm, until eventually he’d noticed and asked if I’d like to take it home. «Thank you, yes, if you’re sure…» And then that evening Jake had bitten off its head. I’d been asleep, my ear against the window of the train, when I was woken by a horrible yowl. «That’s disgusting!» Jake snarled, pink splinters dribbling on his chin. «I think I might be sick.» And through my sobs I explained the pig was an antique. «No wonder it tastes so disgusting,» Jake threw the cracked remains into my lap. Mum helped me sellotape it back together, a jagged strip around its neck and leg, and as soon as we were home I put it on my treasure shelf, propped between an eggcup and a three-legged silver box. «How do you know Dad had it all those years?» Jake asked that night, leaning down towards me, draped like a bat over his bunk. «How do you know?» But I refused to tell him pretending stubbornly to be asleep, and eventually he gave up and swung into his bed. For Your Info Tess and Jake live with their mother, stepfather and stepfather’s children. Their stepfather is nice, but they miss their father, who has a new family, and Tess keeps writing letters to him. Sometimes they go to visit him. Odin is Tess’s cat, which she got for her seventh birthday and named after one of the most powerful gods because the cat was really ferocious. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
