Задача

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Камине Д.Карр, Парсонс 11 класс, Просвещение: Living in the Past
If you want to go somewhere memorable, you can’t beat the Living History Centre in Wales. A friend of mine, who’s an archaeology enthusiast, invited me to go there with him last summer. I’d always fantasised about being a time traveller and jumped at the chance. The Centre, which is set in magnificent countryside with gently rolling hills and green valleys, is about 100 kilometres northwest of Cardiff. Arriving there was literally like stepping into another world. The Iron Age village they’ve reconstructed is totally authentic, with its roughly-built wooden huts and thatched roofs. We saw a bustling scene of women cooking over open fires, men chopping wood and children struggling with heavy buckets of water. Then after storing our twenty-first-century gear and dressing in scratchy tunics and trousers, we were ready to face the first century. We learnt really a lot, which was very stimulating. It didn’t take us long to get to know our fellow time travellers, who willingly showed us the ropes. Every experience was a steep learning curve, from shooting a bow and arrow to weaving a simple piece of cloth. We even learnt how to make bread, which meant painstakingly grinding the flour first! We couldn’t just open the fridge when we felt peckish. The weirdest thing of all was going home — total culture shock! The Centre was a truly remarkable place that taught me not to take things like electricity for granted. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s ever wondered what it would be like to travel back in time.

Подробный ответ

Ответ

1. The pictures represent the Iron Age. Life then was hard and simple: people lived in huts, cooked over open fires, made tools by hand, and did a lot of physical work.

2. The most interesting activities are hunting animals and forging tools. The most mundane activity is grinding flour. The most laborious activities are building huts and ploughing. The most difficult activity is carving bows and arrows. I would like to try weaving cloth because it sounds creative and useful.

3. If I could live in another time, I would choose the Renaissance because it was a period of great discoveries, art, and new ideas.

4. It would be exciting but very uncomfortable to live then. I would miss electricity, modern medicine, books printed in large numbers, and all the conveniences of modern life.
