Question

Task 3. Reading. Read the text. Answer the questions, choosing suitable correct variant, which is under the the text. 1.This time last year, things were not going too well for me. I had failed my science exam and I had to take it again. I was feeling fed up and I was not interested in anything. Friends invited me out, but I did not really want to see them. I spent a lot of time watching dvds in my room. 2. Everything changed for me the day someone posted a comment about a robotics competition on instagram. I was interested in robotics and had even started designing my own robot, so I entered the competition and won! The prize was a chance to work with designers who were developing a new kind of wheelchair that drives itself and helps injured and blind people get around more easily. All the designers were really optimistic and enthusiastic. They made me realize that my problems were not at all serious and that i should be a bit more positive. 3. These days, I feel much happier. Working for a month as a designer has made me feel more useful and sociable. They have promised me a full-time position and the new wheelchairs are almost ready for testing. If someone had not posted on instagram, I would never have had the opportunity. I realize now I was making a big fuss about something trivial. 1 What caused the writer's unhappiness? 2 Which paragraph describes the turning point in his life? 3 What event changed the writer's life? 4 How did working in the robotics company change the writer's attitude to life? 5 Which paragraph describes how the writer feels now? a.
