Task 4 Choose the correct variant. (max 9 points)​

Amiddle-aged, well-to-do woman from

Surrey (was doing) her Christmas shopping.

She (thought) she would like a cup oftea. She

(went) to a cafe in the department store, (took) a

vacant seat with relief and (laid) all her parcels

and her handbag on the chair next to her. A pot

of good English tea (was brought). While she

(was enjoying) it she suddenly noticed a hand

from behind snatch her handbag. She (was)

so (shocked) that she (could not react) at once.

When the woman (understood) all, the thief

(had disappeared). She walked to the Security

and reported that she (had been robbed) and

explained what (had happened). She really (did)

(not have) much hope that her handbag with

the keys, money, credit cards would be found,

especially so close to Christmas, when there

(was) so little money in people's purses but it was

more of a pleasant surprise when the people

from the store (rang) her later that day. They

(said) they (had found) her bag and (added) that if

she (came) straight away, she would be able to

get it back. Happy she (hurried) to the store. But

when she arrived at the place, the people had

no idea what the old dear (was talking) about.

The poor shopper returned home. While she

(was opening) the door it suddenly occurred to

her that it was the handbag snatcher who (had)

(phoned) her. During her absence the thief (had)

(taken) away all the things from her house.

Объяснение:

Интервью бывают в форме видеоролика, аудиозаписи или текста. Видео и аудио сложнее. Надо следить, чтобы картинка была качественной, чтобы звук был чистым. Хорошо иметь режиссера, который подскажет, что делать и почему надо перестать стучать пальцами по столу. Но пользователю сложнее найти время, чтобы послушать такой контент.

С текстом чуть проще — есть время на редактуру, можно вылизать предложения. Упорядочить их, компенсировать сбивчивый рассказ. В тексте не слышны заикания и шуршание за кадром. Но текст хуже передает эмоции. Не видно мимики и жестов, непонятно, когда человек улыбнулся или нахмурился. Приходится делать врезки и писать в скобочках «смеется», «закатил глаза», «потянулся за вилкой» и т. д.
