I think that this quote means that there are always several versions of what is happening, and it all depends on who and how tells the story.

4/b
Independence: a situation in which a country has its own government and is not ruled by another country
draft: a piece of writing or a plan that is not yet in its finished form
Ex 5.
The writer means that the story is always written from the point of view of the writer, so any version of what is happening may be biased or not true at all.
The writing of history depends on the culture and modernity in which it is written, on the author and his attitude towards the goals with which he intends to write history. I think that people cannot write
objectively about current events, as everyone has their own point of view and view of what is happening.
Ex 6.
B: I'm not really interested in history, I don't think it has any significant meaning, what was in the past is in the past.
T: I don't agree with you. Current events are often related to what happened in the past, as one quote says: “He who does not remember his past is doomed to relive it” is directly related to history.
T: I have always been fascinated by world history, especially the history of England and France.

Ex 3
a/
In the first picture, a man is outside holding a snake, and the boy is listening and making notes in a notebook. He can ask the man questions about the snake and write down the answers.
The second picture is a group of students sitting at their desks in the classroom, and the teacher is standing in front of them. He explains something to them and is going to write something on the
blackboard. I would say that learning through experience, like in the first picture, is much more effective because it is more memorable.
b/
Complicated and specialist subjects should only be taught at university so that people can decide whether to study them or not.
c/
In the first picture we can see a group of people sitting on the steps. They have got a large banner which says 'peace now". In the second picture, on the other hand, there are two people standing on a street
they holding signs which are protesting against circuses.
I think that the first type of protest is more likely to be heard and produce some results than the second type, since it is a protest on a much larger scale and takes place where many people will be seen, and
the second type of protest consists of only two people trying to get their voices heard.
Ex 4
Student A is very fluent, manages to say a lot in the allotted time with little or no hesitation, and uses a wide range of language correctly and accurately. Student B is also good, but hesitates more, so cannot
say as much and uses a more limited vocabulary.

George: I'm sure it will be possible, you can make your own flight across the Atlantic in one day.
George: I thought why don't you fly solo. across the Atlantic? you always wanted to make it
Amelia: Yes, I think you're right. I've been thinking about this lately.
George: You would be the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.

Fred: Of course I'm ready! We're going to make history on this. journey!
Amelia: I know, I'm so excited. It will be be great to see so many fantastic places.
Ex 6
I think Amelia was an optimist and also think that she was stubborn, since not many women would aspire to be an aviator in those days.
I think she was a little rebellious, because she chose a career that, in the opinion of the people of that time, was not suitable for women.
Ex 7
One of the most prominent names in our history is Valentina Radzimovska - professor, doctor of medical and physiological sciences, founder of the Ukrainian School of Physiologists and Biochemists, and also
a public figure. For her political activity and participation in the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine in the 1930s, Valentina Radzimovska was repressed by the Soviet authorities. However, this did not prevent
her from becoming the author of more than 60 works on biochemistry, pathophysiology, pediatrics, psychoneurology, physiology, and phthisiology. Like her predecessor in our article, the scientist left
Ukraine in 1945, emigrating first to Germany and then to the USA. Radzimovska made a huge contribution to the study of tuberculosis and its treatment in children.
From the beginning of the 20th century and until the end of her life, already in the 1970s, Nataliya Polonska-Vasylenko was engaged in researching the history and archeology of Ukraine, both in Ukraine and
later in exile in Germany and the Czech Republic. In a historically difficult time for Ukraine, she became one of the leading representatives of the statist school in Ukrainian historiography, that is, she
promoted the idea of independence and continuity of the Ukrainian historical process. Nataliya Polonska-Vasylenko is the author of almost 200 scientific works devoted to the history of Zaporizhzhia and
Southern Ukraine, which remain relevant to this day.
Ex 8
Reporter: Amelia Earhart, can you tell us a little about your childhood. Where were you born?
Amelia: Well, it was rather difficult and unsettled. My family travelled a great deal so that my father could find work, you see. I often missed school, but I was considered to be quite bright academically.
Reporter: What did you enjoy doing when you were young?
Amelia: Oh, all sorts of things. I loved reading and poetry, as well as sports. I particularly enjoyed basketball and tennis.
