Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 8 класс, Титул: 2b Read what the journalist said about Ellen MacArthur’s voyage and say if the explanations (in brackets) for the words and phrases in bold are right. • There are three wrong explanations. Correct them. 1 On her record-breaking race her strength was tested to the limits. (She needed all her strength to do it.) 2 When you are in a dangerous situation it is important to be able to block out thoughts of danger. (To be able to stop thinking about danger.) 3 If you forget to charge the batteries out at sea, all your equipment could stop. (If you forget to pay for your batteries your equipment could stop.) 4 Unstable wind wore Ellen out. (Ellen was very tired because the wind kept changing and she had to correct her boat’s course many times.) 5 Ellen hardly slept for two weeks and was totally exhausted. (Ellen was full of life and energy.) 6 In the storm the mast was swaying violently and could have knocked Ellen unconscious. (It could have hit her and she could have lost her ability to think, move and feel in a normal way.) 7 She was afraid that her boat might collide with another ship. (She was afraid her boat might lose the race.) 8 As a teenager Ellen was fascinated by books written by other round-the-world sailors. (The books made her think about travelling round the world.) 9 When the boat is in danger of colliding with another ship, an automatic alarm goes off. (A sound or light signal warns people about danger.) 10 Ellen said she wasn’t the only person who should be credited with the success of the project. (She said that there are many other people besides her who are responsible for the success.)
