### Итоговый ответ #### 4 a) Match the highlighted words in the text with their meanings 1. **relaxed** — at ease *(спокойный, непринуждённый)* 2. **arguing** — quarrelling *(ссорящиеся, спорящие)* 3. **disappeared** — vanished *(исчез, скрылся из виду)* 4. **trick** — practical joke *(розыгрыш, проделка)* 5. **run away** — fled *(убежал, сбежал)* 6. **clearly** — plainly *(ясно, отчётливо)* 7. **walked in a stiff, angry way** — strode *(шагал размашисто/сердито)* --- #### 4 b) Explain the words in bold * **upturned**: pointing or curving upwards (usually describing a nose) — *вздёрнутый, курносый*. * **trembling**: shaking slightly with fear, cold, or nervousness — *дрожащий*. * **engraving**: a picture or design cut onto a hard surface for printing — *гравюра*. * **superstitious**: believing in luck, omens, or supernatural powers rather than logic — *суеверный*. * **peculiar**: strange, unusual, or odd — *странный, своеобразный*. * **undertaker**: a person whose job is to arrange funerals and bury the dead — *гробовщик*. --- #### 4 c) Explain the underlined phrases in the text in your own words * **who had known the glories of the old Opera**: was celebrated, famous, and successful during the best times of the former Opera House. * **seemed a palace to the brats of the ballet**: the room appeared exceptionally luxurious, grand, and beautiful to the young dancers. * **dropped with a moan into a chair**: sat down heavily and suddenly while making a low sound of fear and exhaustion. * **poor little skin stretched over poor little bones**: the person was extremely thin, looking like just skin and bones. * **grew to enormous proportions**: the stories and rumours became widely exaggerated and talked about everywhere. * **betrayed his presence**: showed or gave away the fact that he was actually there. * **the absence of that nose is a horrible thing to look at**: having no nose makes his face look terrifying and unnatural like a skull. --- #### 5 Who/What is compared to: * **flowers**: Little Jammes’ face and eyes (*eyes like forget-me-nots, cheeks like roses, lily-white neck*). * **plums**: Little Giry’s eyes (*black as plums*). * **ink**: Little Giry’s hair (*black as ink*). * **a shadow**: the Phantom / ghost (*who passed through the corridors like a shadow*). * **a drum**: the Phantom’s skin (*stretched over his bones like the skin of a drum*). --- #### 6 How does the description of the Phantom differ from the picture? Discuss. * **Answer**: In the text, the Phantom is described as terrifying and skeletal: he has yellow skin stretched over his bones like a drum, no nose, only deep black holes instead of eyes, and very few strands of hair — resembling a walking corpse or a "death's head". In the textbook illustration, however, the Phantom looks more human, wears a mask or formal evening attire, and appears mysterious rather than grotesque and horrifying. --- #### 7 Portfolio: Imagine you are the Phantom. Write an account of your life in the theatre and what you see and do there. **My Secret Life in the Opera House** I am the master of the shadows, living deep within the underground cellars beneath the Paris Opera. No one truly knows who I am, but everyone feels my power. Every evening, I wander through hidden passages, watching the ballet rehearsals and listening to the magnificent music without being seen. I see the panic in the dancers' eyes when they whisper my name. Whenever the managers or performers disrespect my rules, I play practical jokes on them or create strange accidents to remind them of my presence. The Opera is my home, my palace, and my only world of art and music. --- ### Пояснения и подсказки 1. **Задание 4 a**: Задание тренирует поиск контекстуальных синонимов в художественном тексте. 2. **Задание 4 b**: Для толкования слов в формате словаря используются относительные конструкции (*e.g., "shaking slightly because of..."*). 3. **Задание 4 c**: Требуется перефразировать идиоматические и образные выражения простым литературным языком без потери смысла. 4. **Задание 5**: В тексте Гастона Леру широко используются сравнения (*similes*), вводимые союзами *as... as* или *like*. 5. **Задание 6**: В устном обсуждении важно противопоставить литературный образ «живого скелета» (*skull / skeleton*) более романтизированному визуальному образу человека в маске. 6. **Задание 7**: Творческое эссе написано от первого лица (*I*), использует лексику темы (*shadows, cellars, secret passages, practical jokes*) и передает таинственную атмосферу произведения.
