Home alone
In our society, loneliness is usually viewed from a negative side. A lonely person appears in our minds as a sad, abandoned, and gloomy wanderer who could not find a refuge for himself. But I want to say that this is only one side of loneliness, moreover, rather dramatized
Let's start with the positive side: The first plus: If you replace self-examination with introspection, you will get a wonderful way to understand your "I". How to do it? We will definitely talk about this in other articles. In short, I will say this. To understand what is bad in me (but not to criticize), to understand what is good in me (but not to praise). Weigh the pros and cons and set goals.
The second plus: You will have a lot of free time to "pump" yourself. This is a very important point! You are the most important person in your life! Read books, learn languages. Now there is the Internet and a huge amount of excellent information - you have "three clicks".
The third plus: There is a time to set goals in life, to understand where you want to move.
The fourth plus: no one presses on you, does not condemn or impose their opinion on you. Also, you are not busy with some important work that needs to be done for someone.
I would like to give an example from my life: Although I am surrounded by a large number of acquaintances, friends, and relatives, sometimes I still feel sad. Why? Probably because they cannot understand me, I cannot pour out my soul to them. Therefore, I often lose myself in for the day, try to understand my problems, and fix them.
Now I propose to analyze the cons of such a popular problem: The first minus: loneliness kills socialization. You become “wild”, you forget what society is, you get rid of the habit of communication. After such a period, at first, it will be difficult to get back “in operation”.
The second minus: by not contacting others, you are missing important connections. We will definitely talk about connections separately, in other articles.
The third minus: General depression from lack of communication and possibly falling self-esteem are likely companions of loneliness...
Yes, sometimes we really lack communication. Sometimes you need to express everything that has been accumulated in you, pour out all your emotions to a person who will understand you with joy and help you morally.
Now let's get down to the bottom line. I believe we cannot be alone. However, we are still surrounded by people. Absolutely everywhere we have acquaintances, and even reluctantly, we can get to know any other person. Am I lonely? Probably not.
В этом задании нужно использовать третью форму глагола (Ved; отмечено жирным) в форме Present Perfect (т.е. по формуле: has/have + Ved) и употребить её так, чтобы логически подытожить данные ранее высказывания (чит. силлогизмы). Как известно, есть правильные и неправильные глаголы — поэтому где-то мы используем т.н. супплетивизм корней, то есть когда корень разнится в зависимости от формы (go - went - gone), или же суффиксацию, т.е. добавляем к основе суффикс -ed (improve - improved - improved). Поэтому выходит так:
Tom is looking for his key. He can't find it. — He has lost his key. (Он потерял ключ.)Margaret can't walk and her leg is in plaster. — She has broken her leg. (Она сломала ногу.)Last week the bus fare was 80 pence. Now it's 90. — The bus fare has gone up. (Плату за проезд на автобусе подняли.)Maria's English wasn't very good. Now it is better. — Her English has improved. (Её английский улучшился.)Dan didn't have a beard before. Now he has a beard. — He has grown a beard. (Он отрастил бороду.)This morning I was expecting a letter. Now I have it. — The letter has arrived. (Письмо пришло.)The temperature was 20 degrees. Now it is only 12. — The temperature has fallen. (Температура упала.)7.3В этом задании нужно сделать практически то же самое: использовать третью форму глагола в форме Present Perfect, но употребить её не в предложении-следствии, а в ответе. Кроме того, здесь используются краткие формы глаголов, то есть 's и 've (вместо has и have) — разница с полной формой, как известно, в том, что краткая форма — атрибут разговорной речи.
No, thank you. I've just had lunch.I'm afraid, he's gone out.Wait a minute! I've not finished yet.No, I've done it myself / already.Have you found a place to live / anything?I've not decided yet.No, she's come back.
