Card 9 Giving a Talk

S: Excuse me, Mrs Brown. Can you help me?

T: Yes, Mary. What can I do for you?

S: I am to give a talk about an English-speaking country. Could you advise me what country to choose?

T: You can talk about Australia. We haven` t spoken about this country at the lessons yet.

S: Great! I think, I can find a lot of interesting information on the Internet. Do you know any Australian sites?

T: Certainly. Wait, I’ll write down one of them. Here you are.

S: Thank you. I also have “A Glimpse of English-Speaking Countries” – a very good book. How long shall I speak? Is a quarter of an hour enough?

T: It’s a pity, 10 minutes only. Three other students are going to give talks too.

S: What topics should I cover? It would take too much time to speak about the country in detail. Oh! I know. I will speak about unusual Australian nature. I have a CD-ROM with the Australian sights; I’ll be showing them during the talk.

T: Very good, Mary. I believe it’ll be really interesting.

Card 10 A Friend’s Phone Call

S: Hello! Is that you, Jane?

T: Yes, glad you’ve recognised me.

S: Happy to hear you, Jane. Have you decided about your trip to Moscow?

T: Yes, I have. I’m arriving in Moscow next week. Could you meet me at the airport, please?

S: Sure. What is the number of your flight and the arrival time?

T: Sheremetyevo -2, flight BA 1809, 15 p.m. Moscow time.

S: I’ve put it down. How long will you be staying in Moscow, Jane?

T: For a week.

S: I’m asking you about it because you didn’t see much of Moscow last time. Now I’d like to arrange everything for your visit beforehand: to buy theatre tickets, to find out about new exhibitions and so on. What would you like to see this time?

T: Oh! I really don’t know. I’ll gladly leave it to you.

S: Fine. Have a good trip, Jane. I’m looking forward to seeing you.

T: So am I. Bye-bye. See you in Moscow soon.

S: Bye.

Card 11 Doing sports

S: You're really fit, Paul. Do you exercise very much?

T: Well, I always get up early and do morning exercises for an hour.

S: You’re kidding!!!

T: And then I often go rollerblading.

S: Wow! How often do you exercise like that?

T: About five times a week. What about you?

S: Oh! I hardly ever exercise. I usually just watch TV in my free time.

I guess I’m a real couch potato.

T: I know how to help you. Let’s join a tennis club. Can you play tennis?

S: No, but I’d try. And why would you like to join a tennis club?

T: I like this sport very much but I can’t play tennis well. I’d really like to learn.

S: Great! We’ll be playing together. How many times shall we go to the club?

T: Twice a week, I think. On Wednesday and Saturday, do you agree?

S: Of course, I do.
