Ответ

1. We know only a little about the way Holden looked. He was about 6 feet 2 inches tall, that is about 1.9 metres.
2. He was rather self-questioning and insecure than sure of himself.
3. No, he didn’t always care about other people’s feelings. He often behaved impulsively and could be rude.
4. No, I don’t think Holden and his parents always understood each other. He felt lonely and misunderstood, and this shows that there was a lack of real communication in the family.
5. I think Holden acted younger than his age because he was emotionally immature, lonely and confused. Yes, this is quite typical of some teenagers.
6. Holden didn’t do well in schools because he was not interested in studying, often skipped classes and had problems with discipline. No, he doesn’t seem to be a boy with no talents: he is intelligent, observant and sensitive.
7. Yes, I would like to read The Catcher in the Rye because it is a famous novel about a teenager’s feelings and problems.
