Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Афанасьева, Михеева 7 класс, Дрофа: 3. A. Read the text and complete the sentences after it. Only Children Are only children different? Are they cleverer? Are they selfish? Some people say that only children often become successful in their careers. A lot of famous people were only children. Other people are sure that only children have more problems than children who come from big families. At school it’s difficult for them to make friends but at the same time they are usually loving people because they get all the love from their parents. Here is what three only children say. Sally: As a child, I talked to my dog for hours. She was my real friend. I think pets are very important to only children. My life was rather boring. I didn’t have friends at school. But I was one of the best pupils. Now I’m successful in my work. Liza: I didn’t make any friends at school. During my school holidays I had nobody to play with. But I was happy because my parents were my best friends. We travelled a lot. I visited some foreign countries, met different people. Now everybody says I’m a good journalist. Mike: At times I was unhappy when I was a child. When my parents sent me to school at the age of five, I didn’t like it. I didn’t have any friends then. It was not an easy life for a child. Now my wife and I have two sons. They are good friends.

Ответ

1. b) make a career — в тексте сказано, что only children often become successful in their careers.
2. a) at home — Sally talked to her dog at home, and she says her pet was her real friend.
3. a) felt — Mike says: At times I was unhappy when I was a child, значит, Лиза здесь не подходит; в задании речь о том, что Лиза была счастлива, потому что родители были её лучшими друзьями.
4. b) his career — Mike говорит о своём детстве и семье, но не рассказывает о карьере.

Разбор

Only children can have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they often get a lot of love and attention from their parents. On the other hand, they may feel lonely because they do not have brothers or sisters to play with. In my opinion, it is not bad to be an only child if parents help the child to make friends and spend time with other children.
