Карточка 7. A reading buddy. Once a week, Oliver visits a primary school as a reading buddy. He sits with a younger pupil who is learning to read in English. Oliver does not correct every mistake straight away. Instead, he gives the pupil time to sound out unfamiliar words and asks questions about the story. At first, Oliver thought the job would be simple. He soon realised that listening patiently was just as important as reading clearly. The pupil has become more confident and chooses books without waiting for Oliver to suggest one. What can you infer about Oliver’s development as a volunteer? Use two details from the text to support your answer.

Перевод задания: Что можно заключить о том, как Оливер развивался в качестве волонтёра? Подтвердите ответ двумя деталями из текста.

Oliver has become a more patient and thoughtful volunteer. He gives the pupil time to work out unfamiliar words instead of correcting every mistake immediately, and he has learned that listening patiently is as important as reading clearly.

Оливер стал более терпеливым и внимательным волонтёром. Он даёт ученику время прочитать незнакомые слова, а не исправляет сразу каждую ошибку, и понял, что терпеливо слушать так же важно, как читать выразительно.
