Оно происходит от старой родительской шутки: *«Не сиди близко к телевизору, а то глаза станут квадратными»*. Чтение первых предложений абзацев (*skimming*) позволяет быстро уловить суть текста без перевода каждого слова. 2. **Задание 2 (Scanning for detail):** При сопоставлении утверждений с персонажами ищите ключевые синонимы и фразы: * *unwind* $\rightarrow$ *a way to relax* (Suzy); * *not mad about* $\rightarrow$ *doesn't like / isn't crazy about* (Liz); * *glued to* $\rightarrow$ *can't stop doing* (Ben); * *star in musicals* $\rightarrow$ *actors becoming famous for something else* (Carl). 3. **Задание 6b (Adjectives):** При выражении своего мнения используйте конструкцию: **I find + [вид деятельности] + [прилагательное]** *(например: I find soap operas repetitive and boring).*
