краткий пересказ 13 - 15 предложений на английском. The Ultimate Culture Clash.
I first met the Insect Tribe of Papua New Guinea as I travelled the world to observe how ancient cultures and tribes were adapting to the modern world. I lived in their secluded village, Swagup, ate their food and shared their wooden shelters. I knew my stay was a rare exception to their rules and wanted to return the overwhelming hospitality that they had shown me, so I invited the chief and his family to experience my everyday life in South London.
Before I knew it, we were making the 12,000-mile trip back to my home. Being two days’ trip by boat from the nearest road, Swagup is completely isolated so naturally I was a little nervous about taking six stone age travellers into my world. However, on arrival, my doubts eased as I watched them getting used to modern technology. At first, every escalator was met with terror and every lift with suspicion. A revolving door created gasps of wonder. "It is an invisible hand that moves this. I can’t believe it!’’ exclaimed the chief. Over the next few days, with spears on their backs and bows over their shoulders, they explored our world. They were fascinated by everyday scenes and situations that we would not give a second thought to.
Some of the capital’s tourist spots proved a challenge. At the London Eye, the tribe stopped in the shadow of the huge wheel. "It is not meant for humans,” they said. Eventually the chief decided that they should try it. "I couldn't believe I was so high above the land. There's no end, no mountain, only buildings. I was wondering how the wheel goes round, what makes this turn,” he said. The underground was another great source of delight. The tribe was fascinated by the size of the underground network. The chief was convinced the underground was built first and the rest of London was built on top later! It wasn’t all fun and games, though. When they visited an apartment block built for the elderly, they were shocked that their children didn’t look after their ’elders’. "It is not right,” the chief said, shaking his head. "They brought you up, they cared for you and when they are old you must care for them."
The goodbyes at Heathrow were emotional. Much of what the tribespeople said made me pause for thought. I don’t think they would swap our world for their own, a world where everything they need is free and plentiful, a world where everything is shared and where the only things treasured are family values and community.
2) According to Rowling, Harry is strongly guided by his own conscience, and has a keen feeling of what is right and wrong. Having "very limited access to truly caring adults", Rowling said, Harry "is forced to make his own decisions from an early age on. He "does make mistakes", she conceded, but in the end, he does what his conscience tells him to do. According to Rowling, one of Harry's pivotal scenes came in the fourth book when he protects his dead schoolmate Cedric Diggory's body from Voldemort, because it shows he is brave and selfless.Rowling has stated that Harry's character flaws include anger and impulsiveness; however, Harry is also innately honourable."He's not a cruel boy. He's competitive, and he's a fighter. He doesn't just lie down and take abuse. But he does have native integrity, which makes him a hero to me. He's a normal boy but with those qualities most of us really admire."For the most part, Harry shows humility and modesty, often downplaying his achievements; though he uses a litany of his adventures as examples of his maturity early in the fifth book. However, these very same accomplishments are later employed to explain why he should lead Dumbledore's Army, at which point he asserts them as having just been luck, and denies that they make him worthy of authority. After the seventh book, Rowling commented that Harry has the ultimate character strength, which not even Voldemort possesses: the acceptance of the inevitability of death.
