   9. Верно / неверно

      Read: 'A recent survey found that inequality between the richest and poorest regions has widened over the past decade. Unemployment has fallen overall, but most new jobs are low-paid and temporary. Critics argue that current welfare policy does little to lift people out of poverty.'

   10. Вопрос для разговора

       Some people say voting should be compulsory for every citizen. Do you agree? Give arguments for both sides and then your own view.

       Пример ответа: On the one hand, compulsory voting would mean election results reflect the views of the whole population, not just the most motivated groups. On the other hand, forcing people to vote could lead to random choices from those who don't follow politics. On balance, I'd rather make voting easier than make it compulsory.
