INTEGRATED LISTENING AND READING
Task 3
Read the abstract of a film review below, then listen to part of an interview with the
actress playing the main part. You will notice that some ideas coincide and some
differ in them. Answer questions 16-25 by choosing A if the idea is expressed in both
materials, B if it can be found only in the reading text, C if it can be found only in
the audio-recording, and D if neither of the materials expresses the idea.
Now you have 10 minutes to read the text.
“Spencer”, the new film about Princess Diana, is very definitely not “The Crown”.
“Spencer”, the imagined story of which takes place over three ghastly days at
Sandringham
in
1991,
veers
far
more
gothic.
In “Spencer”, which is set over the royal family’s three-day Christmas get-together, we
see the princess desperately wielding wire-cutters in a ballgown; breaking into her
crumbling childhood home; and, weirdly, clutching so ferociously at her string of
pearls during a terrible Christmas Eve dinner that the beads clatter into her bowl, which
she then spoons up with her soup and has a good chew on. The film, in case it isn’t
already clear, leaves the borders of realism far, far behind. I am not sure it is
recommended viewing for the real Diana’s sons; although, the one place of stability
for the protagonist is her tender relationship with her children.
Kristen Stewart spent some months perfecting her Diana, she says, coming up with an
evocation of the princess’s whispery, rushed diction and wry little laugh that was pitch-
perfect enough to allow her to feel a sense of freedom in the role. Her dialect coach
was William Conacher, who turns out to be all the Dianas’ coaches: Emma Corrin (The
Crown) and Naomi Watts (Diana) also worked with him. The accent, she says, was
important, but more so, the whole manner: “She had such a particular way of talking,
and she makes me feel something so specific to her,” she says. “It was like a full-body
exercise - the most muscular, unintuitive, yet extremely instinctive thing. It was weird:
I needed to master it in order to kind of mess it up.” Stewart continues: “I don’t know
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
2023 г.
региональный этап
стр. 4 из 7
if I believe in anything. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I don’t not believe in ghosts. I
believe in a lingering energy. I took her in, whether or not it was my idea of her or there
was some actual literal remnant of her.”
It must have been strange to immerse oneself in the world of this most famous, loved
and vulnerable of women. “I guess the difference between playing somebody who
existed in real life versus in someone’s imagination exclusively, is talking about it
afterwards and wondering how people are going to receive it,” Stewart says. “Because
when you are creating a character from scratch you still create a mythology, a list of
facts that are true to the person you construct so that that person feels whole to you.
“I’m not actually Princess Diana, I can’t know everything about her. She’s in our
movie. She is a character: she exists in this story as something that I feel to be whole,”
she adds.
In
“Spencer”, the viewer is edged into seeing events from Diana’s off-kilter
perspective: she is completely lost, physically and spiritually, and gets more so as soon
as she enters the gloomy portals of Sandringham.
The film is inviting us to see the food here not as an accurate rendering of Christmas
dining at Sandringham, but, as something that, viewed through the lens of Diana’s
eating disorder, becomes tempting, threatening and overwhelming. This all plays out
particularly twistedly during that Christmas Eve dinner scene.
Now listen to part of an interview with the author of the book and then do the
tasks (questions 16-25), comparing the text above and the interview. You will hear
the interview TWICE.
16. The movie shows how Diana ate her pearl necklace.
17. The actress thinks that Diana believed in ghosts.
18. The movie shows that Diana had eating problems.
19. The movie shows three days of Diana’s life.
20. The actress found it very demanding to study the materials about Diana’s life.
21. The film director did a great job.
22. The actress worked with a coach on her pronunciation for the movie.
23. The actress thinks Diana’s life resembled a gothic horror.
24. In her personality Diana combined the incompatible.
25. The actress thinks the princes should watch the movie.

'A letter tells someone they still matter': the sudden, surprising return of
the pen pal
In the pandemic, many have rediscovered the sheer pleasure of writing to
strangers, with new schemes spreading hope and connection around the world.
(A) Liz Maguire is a
27-year-old American expat living in Dublin. Though
undoubtedly a celebrity in her chosen field, she is not a professional, but that is simply
because she is not paid to do what she loves, which is to write letters to strangers. At
last count, Maguire had 88 pen pals on the go, scattered throughout Europe, Canada,
the US and Singapore. She keeps track of their letters using a binder system sorted by
month. She also collects historical letters, which she keeps in folders. This January she
started sending birthday cards to strangers, too. By mid-February, she had already sent
60.
(B) Pen-palling is “an endurance sport”, says Liz, who on one morning has already sent
seven handwritten letters. “Evenings and weekends are my busiest time. Then, if I
apply myself, my hand can get about five or six four-pagers out. So that’s twenty-five
pages a day. It feels like a good workout. That’s a lot - especially as our generation
aren’t usually able to write like this.” To write in that quantity, you need the right pen,
Maguire explains. She prefers rollerballs (cheap, less smudging), which bear the names
of various corporate venues related to her marketing day job. “My company’s official
branded merchandise comes in handy”, says Liz.
(C) Like most of pen-pallers, she won’t reveal much about her correspondents (this
seems to be a code of honour), but “connection” is at the heart of what she does. Liz
Maguire and her pen pals share stories, thoughts, books, Post-it notes, stickers and
poetry. It’s upbeat stuff; the virus knits them together, yet is rarely mentioned. “It’s not
easy finding people,” says Liz. “I tried to solicit some on social media ages ago but
there is a hesitancy, naturally, to give out your details on the internet.” Many of her
pen pals came through a new online scheme called Penpalooza, set up by the writer
Rachel Syme last March. By January, the number of users had grown to 10,000.

(D) The pandemic has been good for pen pals. Before 2020, written correspondence
was as good as dead; what the telephone had weakened, the internet finished off. Yet
a year later, this very thing that promised to broaden our world and nourish connection
has left us feeling more isolated and eventually frustrated. WhatsApp is good for
gossip, FaceTime for countering family alienation and Skype for when all else fails.
Email is invaluable but there is something about the immediacy that crushes any
thoughtfulness or intimacy. Phone calls are wonderful, but once you hang up, that’s it,
you cannot hold them in your hands or go over them again.
(E) Letters are real. The crisp sounds of the unfolding, the slight indentations where
you pressed a bit harder with the pen, and the smell of paper all contribute to not just a
message, but an experience. A handwritten letter is something you can touch -
something that engages our senses in a way that technology currently cannot. The
recipient can tuck the letter into a book or slide it into a drawer. They can display it on
a shelf or keep it on the nightstand. It is a material reminder of its author, their thoughts
forever etched onto a physical object. Your reader will not soon forget you. Besides,
letters are generally good for us - humans thrive on activity and connectivity, and feel
thwarted in the absence of those things. Letters offer a break from the sameness of
lockdown, which made us simultaneously time rich and connection poor.
(F) For Jill Stevens’s generation, writing to pen pals was part of growing up. She
remembers being ghosted by her first and only correspondent, possibly because she
sent him a card covered with lipstick kisses. She was eight at the time. Jill says “I still
remember the thrill of receiving a letter about what he’d seen on He-Man or Live &
Kicking series. After that, I mostly wrote to my family. Now, separated for several
reasons, my mother and I often write each other long letters. An artist, she paints
watercolour ducks on hers, and I feel so touched and cry reading them, usually
smudging the ducks”.
(G) Now Jill writes to lots of people. “They’ve been helpful during the lockdown when
I got seriously ill, was diagnosed with cancer and left all to myself. Neighbours, friends,
friends of friends and complete strangers who’ve learnt of my condition. Weeks after
recovery, my own letters started as thank you letters. I would reply shortly to texts late
at night, but on paper, words coiled out of me. Thank you for the flowers. For the frozen
and freshly cooked meals. For the medicines. For the get better cards. For being part
of my life. And we have become pen pals”.
(H) Then Jill started sending cards to people she didn’t know well, but who are
suffering from the same disease. She believes this type of support was key to her
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку

стр. 7 из 7
survival after having cancer. “I simply cannot imagine going through treatment alone,
so if I can let someone know that they still matter, even if it’s a faceless somebody, that
is the catalyst. Letters feel appropriate, less intrusive than a text message or a phone
call.” Jill is about to meet up with one of her pen pals when the latter gets better. “I
recently sent a photo of an empty bench and said, ‘One day we’ll be drinking tea here,
laughing about all this, you’ll see.”

The Lightbulb
In 1879 the first commercially practical incandescent light was introduced to the
(0)(business or trade, or the amount of trade in a particular type of goods ) by
Thomas Alva Edison. However, he was neither the first nor the only person trying to
invent an incandescent light bulb. In fact, it is (1)(it is said that something is true
although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it) by some
historians that there were over 20 inventors of incandescent lamps (2)(before) to
Edison's version, yet Edison is often (3)(is believed or said to be responsible for
doing something, especially something good) with the invention because it outdid the
earlier versions due to an effective, high-resistance material, which made power
(4)(the way that something is spread or exists over a particular area ) from a
centralised source more economical, achieving a better vacuum within the bulb. This
combination of features set Edison's bulb apart from the competitors who had come
before.
Humphry Davy produced the first electric light in 1802. Connected to a battery
and using a piece of carbon as a filament, the device glowed, but not for long, and was
much too bright for (5)(connected with real situations) use. In 1840 Warren de la
Rue introduced a vacuum tube and passed an electric

(the flow of electricity through a wire) through it.
In 1850 Joseph Wilson Swan came up with the name and idea of a ‘light bulb',
(7)(putting something in the same package, etc. as something else) carbonised
paper filaments in an evacuated glass bulb, and by 1860 had a working (8)(the first

design of something from which other forms are copied or developed ). However, in
the
1870s, better vacuum pumps became available and Swan continued with his
experiments until, in 1878, he developed a longer lasting light bulb using a treated
cotton thread. In 1874 a patent was filed by other inventors - Henry Woodward and
Mathew Evans. They (9)(finally) sold their patent to Edison in 1879. He went on

October 1805, though the square wasn’t opened until 1844.
D. The former home of London’s newspaper industry; its
name is still used as a generic term for the national press. This
street’s association with printing began in 1500. The printing
industry flourished here over the next 200 years but it was not
until the beginning of the 18th century that the first daily
newspapers were published . Its newspapers had achieved
massive circulations among both the working and middle
classes by the 19th century. The press drove out most of this
street’s other businesses, especially after regional
newspapers began to open London offices here.

E. High-end fashion wear has been sold at the market in this
street in the East End for several hundred years. The market
has its origins in the 17th century, a time when London was
afflicted by the Black Death and the Great Fire. In the new
London that spru ng up after
1666, this part of the city
established itself as a busy centre for commerce - although
not one that was regulated by the authorities. There was an
old saying that your garment could be stolen at one end of the
market and then sold back to you at the other.
F. It is a major thoroughfare in the City of Westminster,
Central London. The road's name comes from the Old
English strond, meaning the edge of a river, as it
historically ran alongside the north bank of the River
Thames. It was known for its coffee shops, restaurants and
taverns. The street was a centre point for theatre and music
hall during the 19th century, and several venues remain
there. The street has been commemorated in the song, now
recognised as a typical piece of Cockney music hall.
G. The Royal Observatory, designed by Wren, stands on the
hill there. The observatory, with its high-vaulted Octagon
Room, was erecte d in the 17th century. By 1957 its official
functions had been transferred elsewhere, and the site was
subsequently made a museum. The prime meridian (0°) mark,
which since 1884 has been almost universally recognized as
the world standard for reckoning longitude, is still on display,
as is a collection of early astronomical instruments. The
observatory was extensively restored by 1993.
H. It is the ceremonial and administrative centre of the City
of London's governing body. It is the twice-restored seat of
the Corporation of London originally built in 1425 -1445. Its
great hall is the scene of important functions, such as the
election of the Lord Mayor and his annual banquet.
For nearly
2000 years this site has been used for public entertainment
and is one of the oldest event venues in London.
I. It is better known as the Bank of England, situated in the
heart of the City.

J. It is the colloquial name of the oldest and the most historic
part of London - the City. Today it is one of the world’s great
financial centers. It is the small historic core of London whose
boundaries have remained little changed since the 3rd century
when the Romans built London Wall, a defensive wall around
Londinium, their AD43 trading and financial community.
K. It is a nickname for what's really called the Central
Criminal Court of England and Wales. The name comes from
the street on which the court is located.
L. As a traffic hub and neon-lit gathering place, it attracts
visitors from throughout the world, many of whom sprawl on
the steps of its stone island, which is crowned by the 1893
aluminum statue of Eros. The intersection’s first electric
advertisements appeared in 1910, and from 1923 giant electric
billboards were set up on the facade of the London Pa vilion
(then a theatre).

Методические рекомендации
Понимание устного и письменного текстов
Listening & Reading
В комплект материалов, необходимых для проведения и проверки
конкурса понимания устного и письменного текстов, входят:
1. Методические рекомендации (для членов жюри)
2. Описание процедуры проведения конкурса (для членов жюри - см.
Требования)
3. Текст задания (для каждого участника и членов жюри)
4. Ключи и текст аудиозаписи (для членов жюри во время проверки)
5. Лист ответа (для каждого участника)
6. Аудиодиск (или запись в формате MP3)
Задания по аудированию и чтению состоят из четырех частей (всего 40
заданий). На выполнение всех заданий отводится 1 час 30 минут, включая
время, отводимое на внесение ответов в ответные листы.
Первое задание
- задание по аудированию, которое состоит из
прослушивания отрывка лекции. После прослушивания (аудиозапись звучит 2
раза) участникам предлагается выполнить 10 заданий типа True/ False.
Второе задание состоит из прослушивания диалога. После
прослушивания (аудиозапись звучит 1 раз) участникам предлагается выполнить
5 заданий на множественный выбор (выбор из трех вариантов ответа).
Третье задание - интегрированное задание по аудированию и чтению.
Участники читают письменный текст, прослушивают устный текст на ту же тему,
затем отвечают на
10 вопросов. Задание нацелено на проверку навыков
аудирования и просмотрового чтения. Устный текст звучит два раза. По каждому
из высказываний, следующих за текстом, участники должны ответить на вопрос,
содержится ли данная мысль в обоих источниках, только в прочитанном тексте,
только в прослушанном материале или ее нет ни в том, ни в другом источнике.
Тип заданий - смешанный: сначала участники сопоставляют высказывания с
прочитанным и услышанным текстами (поиск соответствий), затем выполняют
тест на выбор из четырех предлагаемых ответов.
Четвертое задание - чтение публицистического текста. Задание нацелено
на проверку навыков поискового чтения, т.к. требует нахождения конкретной
информации в тексте. Участникам предлагается прочитать текст, поделенный на
несколько фрагментов. После чтения текста участникам предлагается 15 заданий,
при выполнении которых им необходимо указать, в каком из фрагментов
представлена информация, указанная в конкретном задании.
Сложность текстов по аудированию и чтению соответствует уровню В2 -
С1 по шкале Совета Европы. Тематика текстов представляет интерес для
учащихся данного возраста.
В текстах может содержаться до 2-5 % незнакомых слов, незнание
которых не должно препятствовать пониманию текста и выполнению
заданий.
Правильность выполнения заданий проверяется по ключам.
Критерии оценивания: За каждый правильный ответ дается 1 балл.
Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно получить за конкурс
Listening & Reading - 40 (сорок).

4) отсутствие запятой при вводных словах;
5) отсутствие (или ошибка в употреблении) необходимых знаков препинания при прямой речи или цитировании;
6) наличие точки в конце заголовка или подзаголовка (точка после заголовка и подзаголовков считается однотипной ошибкой и считается один
раз);
7) отсутствие единообразия в написании заголовка, то есть принимаются как правильные следующие варианты:
в заголовке все значимые слова написаны с большой буквы, служебные слова написаны с маленькой буквы;
в заголовке первое слово написано с большой буквы, остальные слова написаны с маленькой буквы.
4. При оценивании выполнения задания особое внимание уделяется способности участника продуцировать развернутое письменное высказывание. Если

УКАЗАНИЯ ПО ОЦЕНИВАНИЮ
Проверка письменных работ включает следующие этапы:
1. фронтальная проверка одной (случайно выбранной и отксерокопированной для всех
членов жюри) работы;
2. обсуждение выставленных оценок с целью выработки сбалансированной модели
проверки;
3. индивидуальная проверка работ: каждая работа, распределяемая среди членов жюри в
случайном порядке, проверяется в обязательном порядке двумя из них независимо
друг от друга (каждый член жюри получает чистую копию работы без каких-либо
пометок). При расхождении в 1 балл (19 и 18, например) в итоговую ведомость
заносится больший балл (19). При расхождении в 2 балла (19 и 17) в итоговой
ведомости выставляется средний балл (18).
В сложных случаях (при расхождении оценок членов жюри в 3 балла и более) письменная
работа перепроверяется третьим членом жюри из числа наиболее опытных экспертов.
Рекомендуется назначать третьих экспертов из числа старших экспертов ЕГЭ по английскому
языку. Оценка третьего эксперта является окончательной и заносится в итоговую ведомость
(при условии, что оценка третьего эксперта отличается от оценки хотя бы одного из
предыдущих экспертов не более, чем на три балла).
При расхождении оценки третьего эксперта с оценками предыдущих экспертов в четыре и
более баллов работа проверяется комиссией. Комиссия формируется председателем жюри. В
комиссию входят председатель жюри и все эксперты, принимавшие участие в проверке данной
работы. Решение об итоговой оценке работы принимает председатель жюри.

INTEGRATED LISTENING AND READING
Task 3
Read the abstract of a film review below, then listen to part of an interview with the
actress playing the main part. You will notice that some ideas coincide and some
differ in them. Answer questions 16-25 by choosing A if the idea is expressed in both
materials, B if it can be found only in the reading text, C if it can be found only in
the audio-recording, and D if neither of the materials expresses the idea.
Now you have 10 minutes to read the text.
“Spencer”, the new film about Princess Diana, is very definitely not “The Crown”.
“Spencer”, the imagined story of which takes place over three ghastly days at
Sandringham
in
1991,
veers
far
more
gothic.
In “Spencer”, which is set over the royal family’s three-day Christmas get-together, we
see the princess desperately wielding wire-cutters in a ballgown; breaking into her
crumbling childhood home; and, weirdly, clutching so ferociously at her string of
pearls during a terrible Christmas Eve dinner that the beads clatter into her bowl, which
she then spoons up with her soup and has a good chew on. The film, in case it isn’t
already clear, leaves the borders of realism far, far behind. I am not sure it is
recommended viewing for the real Diana’s sons; although, the one place of stability
for the protagonist is her tender relationship with her children.
Kristen Stewart spent some months perfecting her Diana, she says, coming up with an
evocation of the princess’s whispery, rushed diction and wry little laugh that was pitch-
perfect enough to allow her to feel a sense of freedom in the role. Her dialect coach
was William Conacher, who turns out to be all the Dianas’ coaches: Emma Corrin (The
Crown) and Naomi Watts (Diana) also worked with him. The accent, she says, was
important, but more so, the whole manner: “She had such a particular way of talking,
and she makes me feel something so specific to her,” she says. “It was like a full-body
exercise - the most muscular, unintuitive, yet extremely instinctive thing. It was weird:
I needed to master it in order to kind of mess it up.” Stewart continues: “I don’t know
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
2023 г.
региональный этап
стр. 4 из 7
if I believe in anything. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I don’t not believe in ghosts. I
believe in a lingering energy. I took her in, whether or not it was my idea of her or there
was some actual literal remnant of her.”
It must have been strange to immerse oneself in the world of this most famous, loved
and vulnerable of women. “I guess the difference between playing somebody who
existed in real life versus in someone’s imagination exclusively, is talking about it
afterwards and wondering how people are going to receive it,” Stewart says. “Because
when you are creating a character from scratch you still create a mythology, a list of
facts that are true to the person you construct so that that person feels whole to you.
“I’m not actually Princess Diana, I can’t know everything about her. She’s in our
movie. She is a character: she exists in this story as something that I feel to be whole,”
she adds.
In
“Spencer”, the viewer is edged into seeing events from Diana’s off-kilter
perspective: she is completely lost, physically and spiritually, and gets more so as soon
as she enters the gloomy portals of Sandringham.
The film is inviting us to see the food here not as an accurate rendering of Christmas
dining at Sandringham, but, as something that, viewed through the lens of Diana’s
eating disorder, becomes tempting, threatening and overwhelming. This all plays out
particularly twistedly during that Christmas Eve dinner scene.
Now listen to part of an interview with the author of the book and then do the
tasks (questions 16-25), comparing the text above and the interview. You will hear
the interview TWICE.
16. The movie shows how Diana ate her pearl necklace.
17. The actress thinks that Diana believed in ghosts.
18. The movie shows that Diana had eating problems.
19. The movie shows three days of Diana’s life.
20. The actress found it very demanding to study the materials about Diana’s life.
21. The film director did a great job.
22. The actress worked with a coach on her pronunciation for the movie.
23. The actress thinks Diana’s life resembled a gothic horror.
24. In her personality Diana combined the incompatible.
25. The actress thinks the princes should watch the movie.

Task 4
Read the text and answer questions 26-40 below.
'A letter tells someone they still matter': the sudden, surprising return of
the pen pal
In the pandemic, many have rediscovered the sheer pleasure of writing to
strangers, with new schemes spreading hope and connection around the world.
(A) Liz Maguire is a
27-year-old American expat living in Dublin. Though
undoubtedly a celebrity in her chosen field, she is not a professional, but that is simply
because she is not paid to do what she loves, which is to write letters to strangers. At
last count, Maguire had 88 pen pals on the go, scattered throughout Europe, Canada,
the US and Singapore. She keeps track of their letters using a binder system sorted by
month. She also collects historical letters, which she keeps in folders. This January she
started sending birthday cards to strangers, too. By mid-February, she had already sent
60.
(B) Pen-palling is “an endurance sport”, says Liz, who on one morning has already sent
seven handwritten letters. “Evenings and weekends are my busiest time. Then, if I
apply myself, my hand can get about five or six four-pagers out. So that’s twenty-five
pages a day. It feels like a good workout. That’s a lot - especially as our generation
aren’t usually able to write like this.” To write in that quantity, you need the right pen,
Maguire explains. She prefers rollerballs (cheap, less smudging), which bear the names
of various corporate venues related to her marketing day job. “My company’s official
branded merchandise comes in handy”, says Liz.
(C) Like most of pen-pallers, she won’t reveal much about her correspondents (this
seems to be a code of honour), but “connection” is at the heart of what she does. Liz
Maguire and her pen pals share stories, thoughts, books, Post-it notes, stickers and
poetry. It’s upbeat stuff; the virus knits them together, yet is rarely mentioned. “It’s not
easy finding people,” says Liz. “I tried to solicit some on social media ages ago but
there is a hesitancy, naturally, to give out your details on the internet.” Many of her
pen pals came through a new online scheme called Penpalooza, set up by the writer
Rachel Syme last March. By January, the number of users had grown to 10,000.

(D) The pandemic has been good for pen pals. Before 2020, written correspondence
was as good as dead; what the telephone had weakened, the internet finished off. Yet
a year later, this very thing that promised to broaden our world and nourish connection
has left us feeling more isolated and eventually frustrated. WhatsApp is good for
gossip, FaceTime for countering family alienation and Skype for when all else fails.
Email is invaluable but there is something about the immediacy that crushes any
thoughtfulness or intimacy. Phone calls are wonderful, but once you hang up, that’s it,
you cannot hold them in your hands or go over them again.
(E) Letters are real. The crisp sounds of the unfolding, the slight indentations where
you pressed a bit harder with the pen, and the smell of paper all contribute to not just a
message, but an experience. A handwritten letter is something you can touch -
something that engages our senses in a way that technology currently cannot. The
recipient can tuck the letter into a book or slide it into a drawer. They can display it on
a shelf or keep it on the nightstand. It is a material reminder of its author, their thoughts
forever etched onto a physical object. Your reader will not soon forget you. Besides,
letters are generally good for us - humans thrive on activity and connectivity, and feel
thwarted in the absence of those things. Letters offer a break from the sameness of
lockdown, which made us simultaneously time rich and connection poor.
(F) For Jill Stevens’s generation, writing to pen pals was part of growing up. She
remembers being ghosted by her first and only correspondent, possibly because she
sent him a card covered with lipstick kisses. She was eight at the time. Jill says “I still
remember the thrill of receiving a letter about what he’d seen on He-Man or Live &
Kicking series. After that, I mostly wrote to my family. Now, separated for several
reasons, my mother and I often write each other long letters. An artist, she paints
watercolour ducks on hers, and I feel so touched and cry reading them, usually
smudging the ducks”.
(G) Now Jill writes to lots of people. “They’ve been helpful during the lockdown when
I got seriously ill, was diagnosed with cancer and left all to myself. Neighbours, friends,
friends of friends and complete strangers who’ve learnt of my condition. Weeks after
recovery, my own letters started as thank you letters. I would reply shortly to texts late
at night, but on paper, words coiled out of me. Thank you for the flowers. For the frozen
and freshly cooked meals. For the medicines. For the get better cards. For being part
of my life. And we have become pen pals”.
(H) Then Jill started sending cards to people she didn’t know well, but who are
suffering from the same disease. She believes this type of support was key to her
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку

стр. 7 из 7
survival after having cancer. “I simply cannot imagine going through treatment alone,
so if I can let someone know that they still matter, even if it’s a faceless somebody, that
is the catalyst. Letters feel appropriate, less intrusive than a text message or a phone
call.” Jill is about to meet up with one of her pen pals when the latter gets better. “I
recently sent a photo of an empty bench and said, ‘One day we’ll be drinking tea here,
laughing about all this, you’ll see.”
