### Подробный разбор и объяснение
1. **Ex. 4 (Тип текста и участники):**
* Оформление страницы стилизовано под окно группового интернет-чата (*Main Room*, никнеймы участников в скобках `[Gus]`, `[Nemo]`, `[Amelia]`), поэтому верный ответ — **on a computer screen**.
2. **Ex. 5 (Понимание текста и синонимы):**
* В реплике Гаса: *"I’m in an internet café. It’s raining heavily outside... It’s grey almost every day. I hate winter."* и Немо: *"There are nicer places to go to study"* содержатся ответы на вопросы 1 и 2.
* Идиома **"to be fed up with something"** означает крайнюю степень усталости или раздражения от чего-либо (*сыт по горло*).
* Выражение **"not my kind of..."** используется, когда что-то человеку не подходит по вкусу или характеру.
3. **Ex. 7 (Разделительные вопросы — Question tags):**
* Если первая часть предложения утвердительная, хвостик будет отрицательным: *It is warm, **isn't it?***
* Если первая часть отрицательная, хвостик будет утвердительным: *It isn't hot, **is it?***
