Английский язык. 10 класс. Межкультурное общение: тон, вежливость, регистр

Этот тест устроен вокруг одного простого, но коварного вопроса: звучит ли эта фраза нейтрально, дружелюбно, слишком резко или слишком официально для конкретного человека и конкретной ситуации? Английский язык переключает тон не только словами, но и целыми конструкциями — would you mind вместо do it now, I was wondering whether вместо give me — и разница между ними решает, прозвучит ли просьба вежливо или грубо. Тридцать ситуаций с друзьями, учителями, начальниками и незнакомцами на улице помогают натренировать именно это чувство языка: язык как инструмент живого общения, а не просто набор грамматических правил.
