5 Render the following text into English using the language of the Episode, using the words from Task 3 and 4.
Диана принадлежала к древнему благородному роду. Она не была Золушкой, попавшей по воле феи к принцу на бал!
Диана была незаурядной личностью. Молодая, пылкая, искренняя в своих проявлениях она олицетворяла новый век. Век равенства между мужчиной и женщиной, век естественности и простоты в отношениях между людьми. Она отвергла ценности и качества, которые на протяжении веков несла в себе британская аристократия - высокомерие к тем, кто ниже тебя по социальной лестнице, холодное равнодушие к окружающим, ирония, презрение и неприязнь к «чужим», показное равнодушие даже к собственным детям...
Когда у нее не осталось никакого выбора, она нашла силы бросить вызов традициям. Она развелась с будущим королем, когда поняла, что больше не может и не хочет бороться за его любовь.
Она отрицала, что в мечтах видит себя королевой. Говорила, что предпочла бы остаться в памяти «королевой людских сердец». Ее так и звали - «народная принцесса».
В роли принцессы Уэльской она объездила мир, посетила много стран. И всегда она пожимала сотни рук, разговаривала о, казалось бы, незначащих вещах, одаривала присутствующих завораживающей улыбкой. Благодаря ей Англия завоевывала все больше друзей. А популярность Дианы росла все больше.
Когда при посещении инфекционных больниц она брала в руки и обнимала малышей - черных, белых, желтых, прокаженных, больных СПИДом, она вызывала доверие и симпатию к британской монархии, которую она во время этих визитов представляла.
Диана начала борьбу за запрет на использование сухопутных мин в военных конфликтах. Ее миротворческая деятельность была поддержана правительствами.
Хотелось бы верить, что Виндзоры под ее влиянием кое-что поняли. Изменился рисунок, стиль поведения королевской семьи на людях. Они научились радушно улыбаться. Проще стал и принц Чарльз, пожимающий отныне руки простым людям на улице. На фотографиях он предстает нежным, заботливым отцом, который не стыдится своих чувств к сыновьям.
В английских телепрограммах, более не звучит осуждение Виндзоров, и их расхождение с принцессой представляется отныне в весьма тактичном свете. Страсти остыли.
