Read: "Much as I wanted to love this exhibition, I left feeling oddly unmoved. The opening room, with its evocative photographs of abandoned factories, is genuinely poignant. Beyond it, however, the installations grow ever more pretentious, as though the curators feared that clarity might be mistaken for a lack of depth." The reviewer found every part of the exhibition disappointing.
Ответ: Неверно - Верно / неверно
Read the text again. The reviewer suggests that the curators avoided making the work easy to understand.
Ответ: Верно - Вопрос для разговора
Write a short, balanced review (4–5 sentences) of a film, book or exhibition you know, using at least two concessive structures.
Пример ответа: Much as I enjoyed the first half of the film, it loses its way badly after the wedding scene. The photography is evocative, and the lead gives an understated, poignant performance. Long as it is, though, the ending feels oddly rushed, and the final twist is frankly formulaic. Worth seeing, but hardly the tour de force the posters promise.
