Упр.25 Unit 4 2020 ГДЗ Enjoy English 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Биболетова, Бабушис 11 класс, Дрофа:

25 a) Listen to people talking about their hobbies and say which of the websites they visited. Which speakers dontaskt mention any of the websites above? What other unusual hobbies do they mention?

Speaker 1

Some people cantaskt understand what I get out of doing puzzles. They say: "Why dontaskt you do something more productive?" or "Why do you spend so much time on something you are just going to take apart?"

But what they dontaskt understand is that doing puzzles can improve your memory as well as your concentration. Youtaskre imagining the pieces you have left and where each one might go. It is impossible to do a puzzle and not think about it constantly.

And now Itaskve come across an online jigsaw puzzle site which has made it even more fun for me. On this site you can choose the level of difficulty from a simple 6-piece-cut to a challenging 247-piece-cut. Also, you can upload your photos and make them into jigsaw puzzles that you can share with others. But the best thing is that you can communicate with others by sending them puzzle postcards or even have puzzle competitions.

Speaker 2

Itaskve always loved paper aeroplanes. Itaskm fascinated by their ability to fly, and by the force that keeps them up in the air. I even had some problems at school as my pastime was sometimes disruptive. But I didntaskt mean to interfere with the class, I just wanted to make a better plane that could fly very high and go a longer distance.

Recently, I learned that in The Guinness Book of Records, there is a record for time aloft for paper aeroplanes. I started looking for more information on the internet and found a site organised by Ken Blackburn, a person who, like me, is also obsessed with paper aeroplanes. In 1983, he set his first Guinness Record and reset it several times after that. He also wrote a book about making paper aeroplanes. His hobby led him to his current profession as an aeronautical engineer.

I like the site because it not only gives you some practical advice on how to build paper aeroplanes but it also helps you see that you are not alone in your hobby and that there are other people who take it just as seriously as you do.

Speaker 3

It might seem crazy but my hobby is bending metal forks. I learned how to do this from an internet site which gives detailed instructions on the process. What I actually wanted was to impress my friends by doing something unusual and funny. It really worked. Strangely, it doesntaskt work all the time and I cantaskt really explain what my success depends upon.

I think some of the sculptures you can make from forks are pretty cool, they can look like scorpions and sometimes like people. I took pictures of some of these sculptures and put them on the walls in my room. I like having friends round to show these photos to them because people usually cantaskt believe ittasks really possible.

Speaker 4

Itaskm really intoTai chi. Ittasks an excellent variation of the martial arts. It does have a philosophical element that I dontaskt always agree with, but I enjoy the physical exercises that are, in fact, very slow and very controlled martial arts moves.

Itaskm not really that into team sports, but that doesntaskt mean I avoid teams. I decided to look into some debating societies and try that out. I found it can be very stimulating to think on my feet, develop an argument with very little lead-time, and present it all in a short fixed period of time. This Itaskm supposed to do while supporting my team-mates and building the platform for the next presenter. This process did not come easily to me, but I managed to become moderately proficient at it. I actually ended up doing well enough in public speaking to win an international exchange visit from the local Liontasks Club.

Speaker 5

My hobby is surfing the net and finding out about interesting and unusual things. I believe it makes me a more interesting person. Last week I came across a site created by the Secret Society of Happy People. At first I thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be a real life society that was formed in 1998. The idea behind it is to encourage people to express happiness and discourage those who dontaskt like hearing happy news. I thought it was a really great idea because what we keep hearing on the news every day is mostly bad. The site gives people a chance to talk about the happiest moments in their lives, vote for the happiest events, inventions and social changes in the world, and even take part in some campaigns organised by the members of this society. Ittasks amazing how much you can learn about the world today from the internet!
