#### Exercise 2 (Reading & Listening)
**a) Ответы на вопросы к комиксу:**
* **Where are the people in the cartoon strip?**
They are outdoors on the street / near the beach (at the seaside).
* **How is the cartoon strip related to the unit title?**
The unit title is **«Accident-prone»** *(склонный к несчастным случаям)*. The comic shows a boy who has an accident because he is careless and crashes into a lamp-post, which perfectly illustrates being accident-prone.
**b) Explain the words in bold:**
* **twisted** — injured a joint (like an ankle or wrist) by turning or bending it suddenly and awkwardly *(подвернул, вывихнул)*.
* **ambulance** — a special vehicle that takes sick or injured people to the hospital *(машина скорой помощи)*.
* **wrap** — to cover or wind something around a body part (like putting a bandage) *(обернуть, перевязать)*.
* **broken** — damaged with a bone fractured into parts *(сломанный)*.
* **summer break** — a play on words (pun): it means both "summer holidays" *(летние каникулы)* and a physical bone fracture in summer *(летний перелом)*.

### Пояснение к решению
1. **Exercise 1:**
* Для вопроса о жизненном опыте используется время **Present Perfect** (*Have you ever + V3...?*).
* Для уточнения деталей (как или когда это случилось) используется **Past Simple** (*How / When did it happen?* — *I fell / I cut / I tripped...*).
2. **Exercise 2a:**
* По визуальному ряду и диалогу понятно, что мальчики находятся на улице (на набережной или у пляжа). Словосочетание *accident-prone* означает человека, с которым постоянно случаются неприятности и травмы из-за неосторожности.
3. **Exercise 2b:**
* В конце комикса звучит шутка: фраза **«summer break»** обычно переводится как «летние каникулы», но слово **«break»** также означает «перелом» (от глагола *to break* — ломать).
