The key answer of exercise 6
The key to exercise solutions in chapter 7.4 - Great expectations for the textbook Speakout Advanced Plus - Students' Book with authors Frances Eales and Steve Oakes from Pearson Education
Question
Read this version of the secondary story you listened to. In what ways is it different from the spoken version as you remember it? In which sentences does the writer foreshadow, or signal, an event to come?
Answer
Some key differences here (students might find / recall others):
- Spoken version → He met Rob after he'd searched his room; Written version → He was having dinner with Rob and then searched his room
- Spoken version → While waiting for Rob he went to the TV room and was watching sport; Written version → While waiting he sat (presumably in the dining room) and was reading the hotel brochure
- Spoken version → the wallet was at the back of the top of the wardrobe; Written version → The wallet was in the secret lining of his suitcase
- Spoken version → Rob finds things in part because he has a radar for human behaviour.; Written version → Rob finds things without thinking about what he's doing.
Foreshadowing sentences:
- I'm not one for believing in mystical powers, but sometimes something happens that makes you wonder.
- Looking back now, there was something in the way he listened that gave me a strange feeling.
