ПРИМЕР ЗАДАНИЯ ВТОРОГО ТУРА:
Are you a movie fan? Watch the episode and guess the title of the movie and the names of the main characters of the episode. Answer the question following the clip using from 150 to 200 words.

«Where has it all gone?»

Q: Why did the girl decide to burn all the food supplies on the island, especially, the rum?
A: The movie title is “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”. The girl is Miss Elizabeth Swann and the man in front of her is a pirate by the name of Jack Sparrow. The episode takes place on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean where Jack and Elizabeth are marooned by evil Captain Barbossa. It turns out that the island hides the rum-runners cache. Trying to attract the Royal Navy’s attention to the spot, Elizabeth decides to make a fire. Highly flammable rum, oil and green leaves produce a huge smoke signal, giving the brave girl a chance to leave the island in order to save the guy she loves. We might also guess that unlike Jack (who seems to be a heavy drinker) Elizabeth doesn’t feel she is wasting something precious. Answering Jack’s question “Why’s the rum gone” she mentions that “it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into vile scoundrels.”
