Упр.22 Unit 1 ГДЗ English Михеева 10 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 10 класс, Просвещение:

22 Analyse the differences between the vocabulary items in the first two pairs and explain the difference in the rest. Use a dictionary.

a) shadow — shade

Both shadow and shade can mean “a dark area where the light from the sun does not reach because it is blocked by something”. On a bright summer day we can be in the shade or in shadow (in the shadows). At the same time, dark shapes made on a surface when someone or something is between the surface and a light are shadows, not shades. E.g. The trees cast long shadows in the evening light.

b) Lump — piece

A lump is a solid piece of something of many shapes or sizes. That’s why we can speak of a lump of metal, or coal, a lump of cheese, meat, butter or sugar. In its turn the word piece means a part that has been cut, broken or separated from something large (a piece ofland, piece of wood, a piece of cake).

You can speak about a lump (not piece) coming up in your throat if you feel emotional, while something that is easy to do is a piece (not lump) of cake for you.

c) victim — sacrifice

d) discord — accord

e) afTect — effect

f) affectation — affection
