В год, когда мы отмечаем 400 лет со дня смерти Шекспира, в нашей гимназии мы провели ряд мероприятий. Для интегрированного урока математики и английского языка я составила шесть задач на английском языке. Они все по содержанию основаны на пьесе Шекспира «Укрощение строптивой». Вот эти задачи.
Petruchio, Lucentio and Hortensio want to give presents to their wives. Their presents are in a metal box, a leather box and a wooden box. The gifts are rings, necklaces and bracelets. They are for Katherina, Bianca and the Widow. Who gets what present? Use the clues to give the answer.
Katherina’s presents are not bracelets.
The Widow’s presents are not in the metal or leather box.
Necklaces are not in the leather box.
Rings are in the metal box.
An anagram is when you write letters in a word not correctly. You do such exercises very often. For example, what number is written here? –xis. You guess at once that it is six. The word “six” has 5 anagrams – xis, xsi, isx, ixs, sxi. How many anagrams does the word “shrew” have?
Hortensio and Lucentio are arguing about who is richer. If they add their money together, they will get 150.000 crowns. If Lucentio gave half of his money to Hortensio, he would have only a quarter of Hortensio’s money. How much money does each of them have?
Baptista Minola prepared a feast to celebrate Katherina’s wedding. The length of the wedding table is 18 meters bigger than the width. And the width is represented by a number which nobody wants to get for a test. What is the area of the table?
Bianca got 12 rings and necklaces from Lucentio. He loves her very much. If you multiply the number of rings by two and the number of necklaces by three, you will get 29. How many rings and necklaces did Bianca get?
When Petruchio was heading for Padua in the hope of getting married profitably, he was in a hurry and he rode his horse at the speed of 30 km/h. On his way back, he didn’t need to hurry because he knew that he would get 20.000 crowns Katherina’s dowry, so he rode more slowly and his speed was 20 km/h. What was his average speed? Have in mind that it is not 25 km/h, which would be too easy for you.
