IV. Прочитайте текст и определите T (true) — верно, F (false) — неверно, DS (doesn’t say) — не сказано. Going to school in the Australian Outback: The places in Australia that are very far away from the city are called the Australian Outback. In the Australian Outback children don’t walk to school. They don’t even take the bus or the train. This is because the school is more than 300 kilometers away. So how do these children get an education? The answer is simple. These children don’t go to school at all! They have lesson on their home computer and speak to their teachers through a web camera. Children in Australian Outback are very good students. Maybe this is because it is easier to study away from the hustle and bustle of a big city or maybe computer lessons are more fun than normal lessons. Whatever the reasons, children in Australian Outback seem to enjoy “school” more than other children in the world. 1. The Australian Outback is close to the sea. 2. Children in Australian Outback don’t get education. 3. The students study online. 4. The students don’t speak to their teachers. 5. School is more fun for children in Australian Outback.
