#### Exercise 8 (Portfolio / Story)
**A Modern Cinderella**
Today, the story takes place in a large, modern suburban house. Jane is a quiet 16-year-old girl dressed in an oversized hoodie and simple jeans, sitting in the corner of the living room with her laptop, doing research for a school project. Her cousin John, a spoiled teenager wearing expensive designer clothes and wireless headphones, walks into the room.
John starts cyberbullying Jane and insulting her offline, demanding that she give him her laptop because «everything in this house was bought by his parents.» When Jane refuses, John angrily knocks the laptop out of her hands and pushes her against the wall.
Hearing the noise, John’s mother, Mrs Reed, enters the room. Instead of punishing her son, she blames Jane for making a scene and orders her to go to her room without dinner. Jane stays strong, determined to finish school with top grades and finally gain her independence.

### Подробное объяснение
1. **Exercise 5a (Hyperbole / Гипербола):**
Гипербола — это стилистический прием преувеличения для усиления выразительности. Фраза о том, что Джон высовывал язык «насколько мог, не повредив корней» (*without damaging the roots*), является явным художественным преувеличением.
2. **Exercise 5b (Rewriting with hyperbole):**
* Во 2-м и 4-м предложениях используется распространенная конструкция с союзом степени **so... that...** (*так/такой..., что...*): *so forgetful that...*, *so funny that...*.
* В 3-м предложении идиоматическое гиперболическое выражение времени — **a million times** (*миллион раз*).
3. **Exercise 6 (Character Adjectives):**
* **Cruel** (жестокий), **bad-mannered** (невоспитанный), **arrogant** (высокомерный) — полностью соответствуют агрессивному и эгоистичному поведению Джона.
* **Lonely** (одинокая), **educated** (образованная / начитанная) — подчеркивают положение Джейн в чужом доме и ее тягу к чтению.
4. **Exercise 7 (Describing the picture):**
Иллюстрация к отрывку передает кульминационный момент конфликта — вспышку ярости Джона и падение Джейн. Выбранные цитаты напрямую соотносятся с визуальным рядом.
5. **Exercise 8 (Writing a modern version):**
В современной адаптации сохранены ключевые элементы оригинала (конфликт из-за имущественного неравенства, несправедливость родственников, стойкость Джейн), но реалии заменены на актуальные для XXI века (ноутбук вместо книги, брендовая одежда, кибербуллинг).
