Вопрос 1. Read the article in detail and answer the questions which follow: ‘Youth's behaviour with pellet pistol 'stupid, dangerous and outrageous'.
Shooting a pellet gun at an 11-year-old boy on a bike is a "stupid,
dangerous and outrageous to behave", Judge Anthony Palmer scolded a Col
wood-area teenager in Western Communities Courthouse April 29. "I don't
know if you've seen too many movies or not," he continued, "but anything
involving a handgun is completely reprehensible", The 17-year-old
boy was ordered to serve a six-month period of probation, 25 hours of
community works and to apologize in person to his victim. He was also
ordered not to possess weapons, ammunition or explosives for five years.
Crown counsel Bruce Filan told the court the young cyclist was riding
on Atkins Road Dec.22, 1991, and noticed three young males sitting in a
car. As he passed, he said "hi" to the group and continued on his way.
Then he heard a loud "ping" coming from the direction of the vehicle,
turned around and saw one of the boys aiming a gun in his direction and
heard two more "pings". Filan described the boy as "very frightened,"
especially when the car started up and drove towards him. Not very far
from home, he raced to tell his father what had happened. The father
then pursued the teenagers in his car; forcing them to stop and answer
questions. According to man, police later determined the accused
teenager was the only one with a weapon - an air pistol that still had
pellets in its chamber when recovered by police at the boy's residence.
The young victim was very upset by the ordeal and is receiving
counseling, Filan added. Defence counsel Dianne McDonald said her
client was not aiming the pistol at the younger boy and had no intention
of harming him. Only two shots were fired, she insisted. When her
client realized his actions had scared the boy he tried to apologize but
was told not to contact the victim, she added. She also explained
the teenagers were not really chasing the boy in the car; but when the
driver realised the boy was scared, he tried to follow to explain no one
was aiming at him. Mc. Donald reported her client has been doing
well since tile incident and he hopes to return to school in the fall.
For now he is enrolled in correspondence classes and is seeking
employment, McDonald told the court. 1. The 17-year-old youth was accused of A. possessing a handgun without the correct license. В. endangering another person's life with a gun.

widgets, catalogue reference X-3908, are no longer available but that
ST-1432, made to the same specifications but using a slightly different
alloy, are now available instead. Before I place a firm order I should
like to see samples of the new super widgets. If the replacement is as
good as you say it is, I shall certainly wish to submit a new order.
(8) I would prefer to continue to deal with Smith and Brown, whose
service has always been satisfactory in the past. But you will
understand that I must safeguard Widgetry's interests and make sure that
the quality is good. (9) I would, therefore, be grateful if you could let me have a sample as soon as possible. (10) Yours sincerely, (11) Simon Thomas (12) Simon Thomas (13) Production Manager (14) enc. Вопрос 3.
This letter has been revised so many times by Mr. Thomas that it has
become all mixed up, and his word processor has failed to reorganize it.
Arrange the letter so that everything is in the correct order. (1) Simon Thomas (2) WIDGETRY LTD (3) 6 Pine Estate, Westhornet, Bedfordshire, UBI8 22 BC.

(11) Unfortunately, the manufacturers of the part you wish to order
have advised us that they cannot supply it until September. Would you
prefer us to supply a substitute, or would you rather wait until the
original parts are again available? (12) Dear Mr. Bowers Вопрос 4. Contrast. Look at the following ways of expressing contrast: a) Turnover increased. However, profitability fell. b) Although turnover increased, profitability fell. c) Profitability fell (even) though turnover increased. d) It would be difficult to ventilate site B, while/whereas the exterior position of site A could improve ventilation.
"However" is used for general contrasts where the ideas are not
equivalent. "Although" is used when there is a contrast that surprises
us; "even though" is like "although" but more emphatic. "While/whereas"
are used where there is contrast between equivalent ideas. Use 'although', 'even though', 'whereas', 'while' or 'however' to contrast the following: 1) There are only recruiters. They do most of the work. 2) Site В would be easy to build on. Site A would require new foundations. 3) Salaries have been fixed for two years. They will be revised if business improves. 4) The recruitment agency concentrated on the UK. Its competitors turned to foreign markets. 5) There are ten managers. Only the Managing Director has decision making power. Вопрос 5.

strange old fellow, wearing a cap and a shabby raincoat. He said he
wanted to _1_ with our bank. From his questions, it sounded as if he had
a bank account before, so I explained to him that with _2_ you can _3_

- he had obviously never signed a cheque before. Then I explained the

signature on the cheque or whether it would be _8_ together with his

asked whether there would be regular payments into this account, he
answered with a grin, "Don't worry, my cheques won't _9_, if that's what
you're afraid of." Then he said he'd like to open a deposit account
and brought out a parcel wrapped in newspaper. I tried not to look
surprised when he opened it - it contained more than £ 10,000 tied up
