a) Прочитайте статью о сенсационной находке. Выберите для нее лучший заголовок.
Археологи в Несвиже нашли большую могилу 17 — го века. Они считают, что в ней был захоронен очень важный человек того времени, так как в развалинах они нашли скелет богатой женщины.
В этих краях много историй о Барбаре Радзивил, и все задают себе один и тот же вопрос: может ли эта могила быть могилой известной белорусской принцессы? Среди прочих сокровищ было найдено золотое кольцо. Такое же кольцо можно увидеть на пальце Барбары на ее известном портрете.
Археологам приходится работать очень медленно и осторожно, так что, возможно, пройдут месяцы, прежде чем мы узнаем ответ. Станет ли когда-нибудь известна правда?
Мария Брыльска.
Ответ на вопрос в задании:
In my opinion, the best headline for the article is “History coming alive”
b) Верите ли вы в то, что в этой могиле похоронена Барбара? Почему? Почему нет?
I believe that Barbara was buried in this grave. First of all, the skeleton of a rich woman was found there. Secondly, many stories about her come from this area. And last but not least, a golden ring, that looks exactly the same as the ring that can be seen on Barbara’s finger in her famous portrait, was found in the grave among other treasures.
