Read the text again, including the missing sentences in exercise 3. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

Решение:

Прочитаем текст и определим истинность предложенных утверждений:

• 1. Buffet is over 80 years old. — True (T). В тексте указано: «Buffet was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1930». Если сейчас год, например, 2023, то ему 93 года, что больше 80.
• 2. He started earning money when he was a teenager. — True (T). В тексте сказано: «He first became an investor at the age of eleven». Возраст 11 лет относится к подростковому периоду (teenager).
• 3. He has recently moved into a very expensive new house. — False (F). В тексте указано: «But although he is very rich, his lifestyle isn't particularly extravagant. It only cost him $$31,500!». Такая сумма не указывает на «очень дорогой новый дом».
• 4. The food he eats now is the same as the food he ate when he was young. — True (T). В тексте говорится: «Buffet says he eats the same things he has always eaten: burgers, fries and Coke».
• 5. He plans to give a lot of money to his children. — False (F). В тексте сказано: «He has already given billions of dollars to charities and says that he will eventually give away 99% of his money». Большую часть он планирует отдать на благотворительность, а не детям.

Ответ: 1-T, 2-T, 3-F, 4-T, 5-F.
