Ответы к рабочему листу « Life on the Streets » Task 1: shanty – a) a makeshift shelter built from scraps. to shiver – b) to tremble from cold. grubby – c) very dirty and unpleasant. pedestrianised – d) an area where cars are not allowed. to huddle – e) to crowd together for warmth or safety. to make ends meet – f) to have just enough money to pay for basic needs. soup kitchen – g) a place providing free food to the needy. foster home – h) a place where children without parents are cared for. Task 2: ( Пример ответа ; некоторые слова могут относиться к нескольким категориям ) Homes & Accommodation: temporary accommodation, squat. Condition of Buildings/Areas: run-down, posh, abandoned, disused, well-lit, cramped. Types of Areas: residential, industrial. Task 3: After losing his job, Mark couldn’t make ends meet. He was evicted from his residential flat and had to spend a few nights in temporary accommodation, moving from one friend’s couch to another. Soon, even that wasn’t an option. He couldn’t find a proper job and felt stuck in a vicious circle—without an address, no one would hire him, and without money, he couldn’t afford a home. One freezing night, as he was huddling in a grubby doorway to avoid the rain, a woman walking by took pity on him. She didn’t just toss a few coins; she sat down, bought him a hot meal, and spoke to him like a human being, helping him keep his dignity. That small act of kindness made him believe that not everyone in the posh neighborhoods had forgotten about people like him. Task 4: Type of Home: Person A lives in a fully-furnished, well-lit apartment in a cosmopolitan area, while Person B sleeps in a disused warehouse or a squat with no stable housing. Daily Routine: Person A has a stable routine working in a modern office, whereas Person B must huddle for warmth and rely on a soup kitchen for food. Main Challenges: Person A likely faces professional stress, while Person B struggles with survival needs like shelter and safety. Sense of Dignity/Self-Esteem: Person A's dignity is supported by stable living conditions, but Person B's is constantly challenged by hardship and dependence on charity. Task 5 (Пример ответа) : I strongly agree with the statement. Providing only basic needs like food and shelter addresses the immediate crisis but does not break the vicious circle of homelessness. Without opportunities for job training, stable housing, and psychological support, people cannot rebuild their self-esteem and dignity. True help empowers them to become self-sufficient again. Task 6 (Пример ответа) : Project Name: The Bridge to Hope Description: "Our project converts disused buildings in residential areas into clean, safe temporary accommodation. Each resident will have access to a soup kitchen and career counseling to help them make ends meet and find permanent jobs. This comprehensive approach is designed to break the vicious circle of homelessness and help people regain their self-esteem and independence.
