Алгоритм выполнения задания B19 — Sentence Transformation

🧭 Шаг 1. Анализ оригинала (Что дано?)

Внимательно прочитайте первое предложение.

• Действие: Подчеркните в нем подлежащее, сказуемое и определите время глагола. Найдите ключевую грамматическую конструкцию, модальный глагол или предлог.
• Цель: Переведите предложение про себя, чтобы четко понять исходный смысл и контекст ситуации.

⚖️ Шаг 2. Сравнение предложений (Что изменилось?)

Посмотрите на структуру второго предложения и сопоставьте его с первым.

• Действие: Найдите, какие слова из первого предложения в нем уже есть, а какие — исчезли и требуют замены.
• Особое внимание на «хвостик»: Обязательно посмотрите на слово, которое стоит сразу после пропуска. Оно критически важно: этот элемент часто диктует, какой предлог, форму глагола (инфинитив или герундий) или конструкцию необходимо применить.

🎯 Шаг 3. Анализ ключевого слова (Что от нас хотят?)

Посмотрите на опорное слово, данное в скобках.

• Действие: Определите, частью какого грамматического правила, устойчивого выражения (collocation) или фразового глагола оно является (например, UNLESS указывает на условное предложение, а TOO — на конструкцию следствия).
• ⚠️ Жесткое правило: Форму этого слова (окончание, время, число, часть речи) изменять категорически нельзя. Если дано слово GIVEN, его нельзя превращать в gave или giving.

🧱 Шаг 4. Сборка конструкции и подсчет слов

Сформулируйте ваш ответ в голове или запишите его на черновике.

• Действие: Объедините грамматическое правило из Шага 3 с недостающей информацией из Шага 2.
• Контроль лимита: Посчитайте количество слов в пропуске. Помните о жестком лимите формата B19: в пропуске должно быть не более 3 слов (включая ключевое слово из скобок, если оно вставляется внутрь пропуска).

⏱️ Шаг 5. Финальная проверка (Сверка часов)

Прочитайте получившееся второе предложение целиком от начала до конца и задайте себе три обязательных вопроса:

1. Смысл: Сохранился ли точный смысл первого предложения без искажений?
2. Время: Совпадает ли грамматическое время (прошлое в оригинале осталось прошлым в трансформации, настоящее — настоящим)?
3. Неизменность: Не изменил ли я случайно форму ключевого слова из скобок?

---

📝 Памятка для бланка ответов

Когда конструкция успешно собрана, перенесите её в финальный вид:

• Пишите ответ КАПСОМ.
• Убирайте абсолютно все пробелы между словами (например, вместо was given в бланк пойдет WASGIVEN).

What makes a family? 

Do you think families will be different in the future?

A survey of 2,000 UK families helps to identify what a typical British family looks like today. According to its report, the average family consists of 2.1 children and has one pet, with an average salary of £29,688. However, the definition of a family is always changing as our lifestyles and society evolve. Some of the factors that contribute to these changes include health, entertainment and living spaces. As a result, a “typical” family can look very different across different eras.

We know from the past that what a “normal” family might look like can vary a lot between centuries or even decades, which is why we wanted to examine the idea of whether families in 2050 will look very different from the families of today. We explored some of our research findings with futurologist Dr Ian Pearson.

It is expected that technology will see further rapid developments that take communication to new heights. Family members who live far away will have the option to be more involved in their lives back home. According to Dr Ian Pearson, instead of having to spend time and money on travel, the development of artificial reality will allow people to mimic realistic “physical” interaction with each other while they are in fact far away. This will bring family members closer, especially over festive seasons like Christmas.

Technological and financial developments have made it easier for many people to move to different countries. Back in 2001, just over 1% of the UK population identified themselves as mixed or were characterized as such by their parents. In 2009, the mixed-race population saw an increase of 50%. According to the predictions made by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, people of mixed origins could account for 8% of the British population by 2050. It would mean that multi-racial families will become more and more common.

With better access to healthcare, growing medical achievement and stable food sources, we are able to live longer than our ancestors. According to United Nations research, life expectancy was 72.6 years in 2019 and they expect it to reach 77.1 years by 2050. While an average family today usually consists of three generations, by 2050, longer life expectancy could mean that there will be more four-generation families.

The birth rate reached its lowest level in 2018 since records began in 1938, states the Office for National Statistics. It means that by 2050, there will be more than twice as many people above 65 as children under five. Common reasons for the birth rate to drop continuously include greater participation in higher education, delaying marriage and / or partnership formation, and wanting to have a longer working career before starting a family. If this trend continues, we can expect families in 2050 to have more grandparents than children in an average household.

Social and economic factors, such as decisions about marriage, divorce, further education, work, values and more, all play a part in impacting how a typical family structure might look in 30 years. While some of these observations were made based on previous years or decades and are subject to change, it is still interesting to explore how our families might be different by 2050. Let us know whether anything about this differs from your family and what you think about the predictions.

1. What does the survey say about the “average” British family today?

2. How might the change in communication influence the family in 2050?

3. What does the article say artificial reality might allow family members who live far apart to do?

4. How could this technology be especially useful during festive seasons?

5. What change in the UK’s mixed-race population does the article report between 2001 and 2009?

6. What kind of families will become more and more common in 2050 according to the article?

Topics for discussion: There are outstanding people in every country, aren’t there?

It is a universally acknowledged truth that exceptional talent knows no geographical boundaries, and outstanding people can be found in every single country across the globe. Human brilliance is not exclusive to large or wealthy nations; instead, extraordinary individuals emerge from all corners of the earth. Every culture has its own icons who have made a lasting impression on history, and Belarus is certainly no exception. Despite its relatively small size, our country has produced a remarkable array of trailblazers (новаторов) who have left their mark on the world stage.

In the realm of science and technology, Belarusian minds have consistently proven to be ahead of their time. A prime historical example is Zhores Alferov, a physicist born in Vitebsk, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000. His groundbreaking work on heterostructures revolutionized modern electronics, effectively paving the way for the technology used in mobile phones and satellite communications today. In the modern era, Belarusians continue to thrive in the tech sector, having built global platforms like Viber and the hit game World of Tanks. These innovators did not just find success by chance; they had to learn the ropes of a highly competitive global market and work tirelessly to turn their ideas into reality, putting Belarus firmly on the international IT map.

Belarus has also given the world monumental figures in literature who captured the complex soul and history of their nation. Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas, the founding fathers of modern Belarusian literature, used their poetry and prose to celebrate the national identity and the lives of ordinary people. Their masterpieces hit close to the heart of the nation, keeping the Belarusian language and culture alive during turbulent historical eras. Later in the twentieth century, Vasil Bykau became a literary giant known for his gripping, realistic novels about World War II. Bykau focused on the harsh moral choices individuals faced on the battlefield. His deeply honest stories often forced readers to face the home truths of human nature during times of crisis.

Similarly, in the visual arts, the world-famous painter Marc Chagall, who was born in Vitebsk, revolutionized early modernist art. His dreamlike, whimsical paintings often featured motifs from his Belarusian childhood, proving that one's homeland can remain a lifelong source of creative inspiration. Furthermore, Belarusian athletes have frequently stood on cloud nine at the Olympic Games, demonstrating immense resilience and national pride. Tennis superstar Victoria Azarenka reached the absolute pinnacle of her sport, becoming the world number one and winning multiple Grand Slam titles. In winter sports, biathlete Darya Domracheva made history by winning four Olympic gold medals, becoming an inspiration for millions. These sports icons are famous for their refusal to give up, always willing to go the extra mile during training to achieve victory against all odds.

In conclusion, outstanding people are a natural treasure found in every nation, and Belarus has continuously contributed exceptional minds to global history, science, and culture. Whether through scientific breakthroughs, literary masterpieces, or athletic triumphs, these individuals prove that determination and talent can elevate anyone to greatness. Ultimately, a nation’s truest wealth is not found in its material resources, but in the extraordinary spirit and intellect of its people.

1. How do you understand the meaning of the phrase “an outstanding person”? 

To me, an "outstanding person" is not simply someone who achieves fame or accumulates great wealth, but an individual who leaves a lasting, positive mark on the world. These people stand out from the crowd because they possess an extraordinary blend of talent, determination, and a willingness to go the extra mile in their chosen field, whether it is science, art, or charity.

Ultimately, true greatness is about inspiring others and driving meaningful progress. An outstanding person challenges the status quo, overcomes difficult obstacles with resilience, and uses their unique gifts to make a genuine difference in society.

2. What famous people of our country can you enumerate? 

Belarus has produced numerous outstanding individuals who have achieved global recognition. In the scientific community, physicist Zhores Alferov famously won the Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work in electronics.

The literary world was profoundly shaped by classical writers like Yanka Kupala and Vasil Bykau, whose gripping novels explored complex human morals. Additionally, the world of art was revolutionized by the dreamlike paintings of Marc Chagall. Finally, in sports, tennis champion Victoria Azarenka and legendary biathlete Darya Domracheva have consistently stood on the world stage, bringing immense pride to our nation through their remarkable resilience.

3. What is your attitude to fame and popularity? 

My attitude toward fame and popularity is somewhat skeptical, as I view them as double-edged swords. On one hand, being popular provides a massive platform to influence society positively and achieve financial security. It allows talented individuals to share their work with a global audience.

On the other hand, fame often comes at a high price, completely destroying a person's privacy. Constant public scrutiny can be incredibly stressful, forcing celebrities to live under a microscope. Ultimately, I believe that seeking personal fulfillment and respect is far more meaningful than chasing the fleeting and often superficial nature of global popularity.

Topics for discussion: Do you agree that knowledge is power?

The famous proverb “knowledge is power” suggests that information, education, and understanding are the ultimate tools for achieving success and control in life. In the modern world, where information is available at the click of a button, this statement is more relevant than ever. I strongly agree with this notion, as acquiring knowledge not only broadens our horizons but also arms us with the capability to overcome challenges, make informed choices, and change the world for the better. When we possess information, we are never completely helpless; instead, we are equipped to take control of our own destiny.

First and foremost, knowledge serves as a vital tool for personal development and professional success. In today's highly competitive job market, individuals who constantly strive to learn new skills are the ones who truly thrive. They do not just sit around waiting for opportunities; they actively seek them out. For these individuals, learning the ropes of a new industry or technology gives them a massive advantage over others. While those who refuse to adapt may find themselves left behind, knowledgeable people are able to navigate complex professional landscapes with confidence. Ultimately, understanding how the world works allows you to step out of your comfort zone and achieve your goals, proving that education is the ultimate equalizer.

Furthermore, knowledge protects us from being deceived or manipulated by others. In the age of fake news and misinformation, being uninformed can be dangerous. When people lack proper information, they are easily misled by false advertisements or political propaganda. However, an educated mind can think critically and analyze situations objectively. As the old saying goes, "forewarned is forearmed." When you possess the facts, you are naturally prepared to face potential risks and defend your viewpoint. Knowledge grants us the intellectual independence to question authority and make choices based on evidence rather than blind faith, ensuring that we are not easily taken advantage of.

On the other hand, it is important to acknowledge that simply acquiring facts is not enough. Knowing something is only half the battle; the real power lies in how we apply that information in real-world scenarios. Someone might be highly educated, yet completely lack the practical skills or emotional intelligence needed to solve everyday problems. Therefore, we must combine theoretical knowledge with action. When we use our intellect to solve community issues, invent new technologies, or help those in need, knowledge transforms from an abstract concept into a tangible force that can move mountains.

In conclusion, knowledge is undoubtedly the most potent form of power available to humanity. It opens doors to career advancement, acts as a shield against deception, and fosters personal growth. While physical strength and material wealth can disappear overnight, the wisdom we accumulate remains ours forever. It is an investment that always pays the best interest, allowing us to navigate the complexities of life with clarity and confidence.

1. What are the strong points of school education? 

School education offers significant benefits, primarily providing a structured environment for academic and social development. In classrooms, students acquire fundamental knowledge across diverse subjects, which lays the groundwork for their future careers.

Furthermore, school acts as a crucial social hub where children learn to interact with peers and work in teams. Navigating these social dynamics teaches them essential life skills like conflict resolution, tolerance, and empathy. Ultimately, schools do not just deliver textbook facts; they shape well-rounded individuals by combining academic discipline with vital social experiences, effectively preparing young people for the challenges of adult life.

2. What are the weak points of school education? 

One major weak point of traditional school education is its overemphasis on rote memorization rather than critical thinking. Students are often trained to memorize facts to pass exams, which kills creativity and leaves them unprepared for practical, real-world problem-solving.

Furthermore, schools tend to use a one-size-fits-all approach. Because the curriculum moves at a fixed pace, teachers rarely have time to accommodate individual learning styles, causing struggling students to fall behind and gifted ones to become bored. Ultimately, by prioritizing grades over genuine understanding, modern schooling frequently fails to foster a true lifelong love for learning.

3. What is your attitude to offline studies? 

My attitude toward offline studies is highly positive, as it provides an invaluable environment for personal and academic growth. The primary advantage of traditional classrooms is the immediate, face-to-face interaction with both peers and teachers. This setup allows for spontaneous discussions, instant feedback, and the development of essential social skills like teamwork and empathy.

Furthermore, the physical separation between home and school establishes a structured routine, which significantly increases focus and self-discipline. While online learning offers undeniable flexibility, offline studies remain superior because they foster a genuine sense of community and keep students actively engaged.

Topics for discussion: A wise person once said: “Home is not a place… It’s a feeling.” How can you explain this opinion?

The famous quote “Home is not a place… It’s a feeling” suggests that the true essence of a home cannot be defined by physical boundaries, bricks, or mortar. Instead, it is an emotional state of mind. While a house is merely a physical structure that provides shelter from the elements, a home is a sanctuary where an individual experiences comfort and unconditional acceptance. In a world that is constantly changing, understanding home as a feeling allows us to find stability within ourselves, proving that home is truly where the heart is.

First and foremost, the feeling of home is closely tied to a sense of absolute safety and belonging. A physical space can be luxurious, yet feel completely cold and unwelcoming if it lacks emotional warmth. Conversely, a modest apartment can feel like a palace if it is filled with love. Home is the one place where you can completely let your guard down and feel safe and sound after a long, exhausting day. It is a refuge where you do not have to hide your flaws, allowing you to feel at home in your own skin. When you are surrounded by this kind of acceptance, even the simplest room can make you feel like you are on cloud nine.

Furthermore, this perspective explains why people can create a home away from home when traveling or moving abroad. When we miss home, we are rarely missing the physical walls; rather, we are yearning for the deep emotional connections and familiar routines that are close to our hearts. For many, home is found in the presence of specific people—family, a partner, or close friends. When you are with the people who truly understand and support you, any unfamiliar city can instantly become cozy. Therefore, the people we love act as our emotional anchor, turning an unfamiliar space into a welcoming environment.

In addition, viewing home as a feeling highlights the importance of internal peace. In modern times, people relocate frequently for career or educational opportunities. If home were strictly a fixed geographic location, these constant transitions would leave individuals feeling permanently uprooted. However, by cultivating inner tranquility, a person can carry the feeling of home within themselves. Facing the home truths of life—such as accepting that change is inevitable—helps us realize that stability comes from within. Consequently, you can feel grounded anywhere in the world because your primary sanctuary travels with you.

In conclusion, the wisdom behind this quote lies in its shift of focus from the material world to the emotional realm. Home is a psychological sanctuary built on love, security, and connection. While physical buildings can be bought and sold, the emotional feeling of home remains irreplaceable. Ultimately, home is not defined by coordinates on a map, but by the peace we feel inside and the bonds we share with others.

1. What is your dream house like?

My dream house would be a luxurious, modern penthouse situated in the heart of a bustling city, offering a vibrant urban lifestyle. Located on a top floor, it would feature massive, floor-to-ceiling windows providing stunning views of the city skyline, especially at night.

The interior would boast an open-plan layout with sleek, contemporary furniture and cutting-edge smart home technology. The highlight of the apartment would be a spacious rooftop terrace, perfect for hosting social gatherings or simply unwinding after a busy day. Ultimately, it would be a sophisticated sanctuary that perfectly blends comfort with dynamic city living.

2. What would you like to change in your current place of living?

If I could change one thing about my current place of living, I would definitely optimize the interior layout to create an open-plan space. Currently, the apartment is divided into small, separate rooms, which makes the entire home feel somewhat cramped and restricts the flow of natural light.

By removing a non-load-bearing wall between the kitchen and the living room, the area would instantly become brighter and more versatile. Furthermore, this adjustment would allow for better socialization, making it much easier to host friends. Ultimately, a more modern, spacious design would significantly enhance both comfort and functionality.

3. How fast do you get homesick when you travel?

When traveling, I rarely get homesick during the first week because the excitement of exploring a new destination keeps me fully engaged. Immersing myself in unfamiliar cultures, trying local cuisine, and visiting famous landmarks fills my schedule, leaving little room for nostalgia.

However, once the initial novelty wears off—usually around the ten-day mark—a sudden sense of longing sets in. I begin to miss the comfort of my own bed, familiar daily routines, and effortless communication with family. Ultimately, while I love adventure, homesickness inevitably catches up when physical exhaustion replaces the initial thrill.
