Задание 17 Юнит 13 ГДЗ Вербицкая Forward 6 класс

105. Listen to the conversation that takes place in the Louvre in Paris. What questions does Alice ask? Can you answer these questions?

Alice asks:

1. Why is the painting called “Mona Lisa”?
2. Whose portrait is it?
3. Why is the Giaconda’s smile so much talked about?

Answers:

1. “Mona” in Italian is a polite form of address, so the name means “My Lady Lisa” or “Madame Lisa”.
2. No one knows for sure. There is a theory that it is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo.
3. The smile seems to change: one moment you see it, the next you don’t. Her eyes also seem to follow the viewer.
