### Подробное объяснение
1. **Упражнение 4a (Понимание текста):**
* **1. F:** В тексте сказано: *«The building is more than 100 years old»* (Зданию больше 100 лет), значит, оно не новое.
* **2. DS:** В тексте перечисляются типы комнат (гостиная, кухня, спальни с ванными), но точное общее количество комнат не указано (*Doesn't Say*).
* **3. F:** В тексте написано: *«The living room is on the fifth floor»* (Гостиная находится на пятом этаже), а на первом (*ground floor*) находится *reception room*.
* **4. F:** В тексте указано: *«88 to the kitchen»* (До кухни 88 ступенек, а не 113).
2. **Правила чтения буквосочетания `th` (Упражнение 7):**
* Чтобы правильно произнести звуки **/θ/** и **/ð/**, нужно слегка зажать кончик языка между зубами и выдувать воздух.
* **/θ/** — глухой звук (как в порядковых числительных: *fifth, tenth, three*).
* **/ð/** — звонкий звук с голосом (в служебных и указательных словах: *the, this, there*).
