#### **7. THINK! The Convict’s vs. Pip’s Speech**
* **Differences & Examples:**
* **The convict** uses informal 19th-century working-class/Cockney slang, non-standard grammar, and elisions:
* *"ha' got"* = *have got*
* *"'em"* = *them*
* *"lookee here"* = *look here*
* *"d'ye"* = *do you*
* *"suppos'n'"* = *supposing*
* *"han't"* = *haven't*
* *"wittles"* = *victuals (food)*
* **Pip** speaks very politely, standardly, and timidly (*"There, sir!"*, *"Mrs Joe Gargery – wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, sir"*).
* **Why Dickens did this:**
*Charles Dickens used non-standard spelling and dialect to reflect the convict's poor social background, lack of formal education, and rough criminal lifestyle, contrasting him sharply with the innocent, polite, and well-behaved young Pip.*

#### **8. Roleplay Dialogue (Graveyard scene with an alternative ending)**
**Convict:** *(shivering, glaring)* What might your name be, young man?
**Pip:** *(stammering)* Pip, sir.
**Convict:** Show us where you live, Pip! Point out the place!
**Pip:** *(pointing into the mist)* Over there, sir, with my sister and her husband, Joe the blacksmith.
**Convict:** A blacksmith, eh? Listen carefully, boy! You bring me a file to cut this iron off my leg, and bring me some wittles, or I’ll have your heart and liver out!
**Pip:** *(smiling softly instead of trembling)* You don't need to threaten me, sir. I can see you are freezing and starving. My brother-in-law Joe is a kind man. You don't have to hide in the cold. Come home with me, and we will give you warm food and help you freely.
**Convict:** *(staring in disbelief, softening his voice)* You... you would do that for an escaped wretch like me, boy? God bless you, young Pip. Lead the way.

### Пояснение к выполнению заданий
1. **Задание 4 (a, b):** Направлено на обогащение лексического запаса через контекст романа Чарльза Диккенса «Большие надежды» (*Great Expectations*). При объяснении значений слов в задании 4b подбираются близкие синонимы и краткие словарные дефиниции на английском языке.
2. **Задание 5 (a, b):** Развивает навыки структурирования текста (заметки о внешности, речи и поведении персонажа) и образного мышления (описание ощущений через 5 органов чувств: зрение, обоняние, слух, осязание, внутреннее состояние).
3. **Задание 6:** Проверяет понимание идиоматических и устаревших выражений викторианской эпохи:
* *to come to oneself* — прийти в себя / вернуться в привычное положение;
* *to have half a mind to do sth* — подумывать о том, чтобы сделать что-то;
* *late of...* — устойчивая надгробная формулировка для обозначения «покойный житель такого-то прихода»;
* *make up one's mind* — принять решение.
4. **Задание 7:** Анализирует стилистические приемы Диккенса (фонетическая передача акцента и просторечий персонажей из низших слоев общества).
5. **Задание 8:** Творческий диалог, в котором предложено альтернативное доброе завершение сцены вместо атмосферы страха и угроз.
