* **Student A:** *What impressed you most about the texts we read?*

>
> *I felt completely terrified and my heart was beating fast. I couldn't move or breathe.*
>
> *The creature glanced in my direction for a few seconds, turned, and disappeared silently into the thick forest. As soon as it was gone, I grabbed my dog and ran back to our car as fast as I could. I still can't believe what I saw!*

### Подробное объяснение
#### **К упражнению 6 (Различия глаголов взгляда):**
1. **stare** (*пристально смотреть, пялиться*) — после глагола `stop` в значении «прекратить действие» используется герундий с окончанием **-ing**: *couldn't stop staring*.
2. **glance** (*бросить быстрый взгляд*) — в контексте прошедшего времени (Past Simple) правильный глагол принимает окончание **-ed**: *glanced quickly*.
3. **catch a glimpse of** (*мельком увидеть, заметить краем глаза*) — после `have just` требуется третья форма глагола (Past Participle): *caught a glimpse of*.
4. **glare** (*свирепо/сердито смотреть*) — после конструкции `seemed to` используется инфинитив без изменений: *seemed to glare*.
5. **spot** (*заметить, обнаружить*) — во вспомогательном вопросе прошедшего времени `Did you ...?` смысловой глагол стоит в начальной форме: *Did you spot*.
#### **К упражнению 7 и 8 (Речевые и письменные нормы):**
* В задании 7 используются факты из прочитанного текста (Module 3a): древность наблюдений Лох-Несского чудовища, размеры кальмара (Кракена) и следы Бигфута.
* Запись в дневнике (задание 8) оформлена по правилам:
* указана дата (*15th October*);
* есть обращение к дневнику (*Dear Diary*);
* соблюдены все пункты плана: место и занятие (*hiking in the woods*), описание увиденного (*huge, two-legged, dark fur*), эмоции (*felt terrified, heart was beating fast*), дальнейшие события (*ran back to the car*);
* повествование ведется в прошедшем времени (*Past Simple* и *Past Continuous*).
