   1) В отличие от русского языка, где подлежащим в пассивной конст –
    рукции может стать только прямое дополнение (читать книгу - книга читается), в
    английском языке в этой функции употребляется и косвенное дополнение.

   Например: He showed me a picture. (Active Voice)
                                  a picture – прямое дополнение
                                       me - косвенное дополнение
   A picture was shown to me. (Passive Voice I )
   I was shown a picture. (Passive Voice II )
   a) I was told an interesting story.
   b) My brother will be given an interesting work.
   c) Ann is promised a new dress.

   предложений необходимо принимать во внимание предлог.

                              WOOL AND SIMILAR FIBRES.

       Wool is perhaps the most useful of all fibres. It is a warm fibre and thus particularly
suitable for outer clothing and underwear.
       Wool varies greatly in quality. Some types consist of short coarse fibres while others are
very fine and long. Wool fibres also vary considerably in luster. These variations depend on
differences in the breed of sheep and whether the sheep is sheared alive or dead.
