Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Биболетова, Бабушис 11 класс, Дрофа:
1 a) Listen to the interview with a person with an unusual hobby and decide whether the statements below are true, false or not stated.
Journalist: You have a curiosity for the very spiders many of us hope never to come face-to-face with in our lifetime, such as the black widow and the tarantula. How did you start hunting spiders?
Interviewee: My grandmother encouraged me when I was six. One afternoon she got tired of trying to entertain me, so she invented this little activity, which she said was a lot of fun. She sent me out with a coffee can and an ice cream scoop and told me to catch spiders. When I caught one, she looked it over, screamed, and pretended she was going to faint. She told me how the spider was a "first cousin to the black widow." Then she explained how deadly black widows are. The spider Itaskd caught was actually a common house spider, which is related to the widow, but is utterly harmless. Grandma knew that, of course. She made it an exciting afternoon, but Itaskm sure she didntaskt expect that childish game to become my lifetime hobby.
Journalist: How did your family react to your unusual hobby?
Interviewee: My mother hated bugs. She always made me keep them out in the garden, or at least on the back steps. I had to smuggle them inside when the weather turned cold. But Mum also liked having someone around to catch any bugs that wandered into the sitting room. Eventually she started catching things for me. She still rings me up once in a while to say, "I have a bug for you."
Journalist: Did your bug friends ever interfere with your social life?
Interviewee: When I was in secondary school, I ruined a few dates by saying, "Want to see my tarantula?" Of course, I quickly learned to avoid the topic. A girl would say, "So what do you do in your spare time?" And I would say, "Nothing" or "Watch filmstask.taskWhen I was at university, I went out with a girl, and as we were walking across the car park, I spotted a big ground beetle. Before I realised what I was doing, I caught it in a paper cup. She asked me what I meant to do with it, and I said, "Nothing!" But she kept after me, so I showed her the row of jars on my desk, each containing a black widow. I fed the beetle to one of the widows. The young woman said, "Hmm. Interesting." So I married her. My son, whotasks almost three now, loves bugs. Lately his favourite game is to build a house out of blocks and then have a plastic tarantula destroy it!
