Номер 3, страница 109, часть 1 - гдз по английскому языку 8 класс учебник Демченко, Севрюкова

3. a. Read three letters to Agony Aunt. What money issues are discussed in each of them? Are any of your ideas from ex. 2b mentioned?

1. Dear Agony Aunt,

I have been feeling really unhappy recently. All the other children make fun of me at school and laugh at my clothes because they are unfashionable. Most of my classmates have expensive trainers and look stylish. I feel really stupid because I have to wear my sister’s hand-me-downs. I ask my parents to buy me better clothes, but they say they can’t afford to do it right now. What should I do?

Jane

2. Dear Agony Aunt,

I need to ask you about something quite personal. My friends give me money as a present for my birthday. I understand it is the easiest way to make a present, but sometimes I feel annoyed by their lack of imagination and confused when I have to make a present myself. I want my presents to be memorable and unique. I think a present should have a personal touch to it. What’s the best way to deal with this problem?

Eliza

3. Dear Agony Aunt,

I’m worried about my future. The main thing that stresses me out is how I’m going to earn my living. I have a ton of things I want to do when I grow up, but I’m afraid that

I won’t be able to make enough money to support myself. They’re all those unrealistic things that literally every kid wants to do at some point-you know, dancer, actor, singer, writer. But my parents tell me these are not well-paid jobs and I’d better choose something that will give me enough money to live on. I only have four years until I go to university. I know I have a while to decide what I really want to do, but sometimes I get stressed about growing up and worry that I’ll never be able to do what I love. Can you give me any advice?

Julia

Что следует делать детям из упражнения 3а?

Ответ:

1. Jane could try to customize her hand-me-down clothes to make them more fashionable. She could also talk to her parents about getting a small allowance to save up for new items, or she could find a part-time job to earn her own money.

2. Eliza should communicate her feelings to her friends gently. She could suggest creating a wishlist of specific, affordable items she would like, or propose doing an activity together for her birthday instead of exchanging presents.

3. Julia should research the careers she is interested in to find out about realistic salaries and opportunities. She could talk to her parents about her findings and maybe explore related, more stable career paths that still involve her passions. She should remember that she has plenty of time to decide.

Перевод:

1. Джейн могла бы попробовать переделать свою одежду, доставшуюся от сестры, чтобы сделать её более модной. Она также могла бы поговорить с родителями о получении небольших карманных денег, чтобы накопить на новые вещи, или найти подработку, чтобы заработать собственные деньги.

2. Элизе следует деликатно рассказать о своих чувствах друзьям. Она могла бы предложить составить список желаний с конкретными, недорогими вещами, которые она хотела бы получить, или предложить заняться чем-то вместе на её день рождения вместо обмена подарками.

3. Джулии следует изучить интересующие её профессии, чтобы узнать о реальных зарплатах и возможностях. Она могла бы поговорить с родителями о своих находках и, возможно, изучить смежные, более стабильные карьерные пути, которые всё ещё связаны с её увлечениями. Ей следует помнить, что у неё много времени для принятия решения.
