(Scott has written a letter to his friend, Mark, in Denver.)

A letter from New York.

95 66th Road,

Forest Hills, NY. 11375

Dear Mark,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear all the news from Denver. Your new girl sounds OK. I’m sorry I haven’t written till now. We’ve been so busy these last two months.

First I hated it here in New York, but I have some friends now and it isn’t so bad. Our part of Queens is OK, I guess, but I was shocked when I saw the terrible houses where some people have to live. Our neighbors here are friendly, but they’re always in a hurry. And in Manhattan there are so many people day and night. You should see the subway in the early morning or late afternoon.

The subway is very big and fast but I don’t like using it very much. The trains and stations are dirty – with graffiti on the walls, sings and even on the seats.

And it’s dangerous at night because there are so many muggings. I haven’t traveled then, of course. But I just have to tell you about something funny that happened when I was in the subway with Donna last week.

The train was very full. Donna got on the first, but then some people rushed on the train in front of me. I couldn’t get on. The door closed and the train left. I didn’t know what I should do. I got on the next train uptown. When I arrived at the next station I saw Donna on the other platform. She was waiting for a train downtown. I jumped off my train and ran – but I was too late. Donna saw me, but the door closed. The train left without me again. This time I stayed till Donna came back.

Say hello to all the kids at Jackson High.

Take care,

Scott.

9. Упражнение "фоторобот"

Возьмите листочек бумаги и выпишите 20-30 хорошо знакомых Вам объектов и помещений. Примеры: Ваш диван, машина, обеденный стол, холодильник, телевизор, фонарь под окном, кухня, ванная комната, туалет, офис, телефон, домашнее животное, Ваши друзья и знакомые. Далее идите по списку и вспоминайте эти объекты как можно подробнее (визуально, зрачки вверх), во всех деталях. Как только общая картинка сформировалась, начинайте по очереди рассматривать детали объекта (весь объект при этом держать в поле внимания не нужно) - вспомните отдельно руль машины, приборную панель, сиденье и т.д. Если это человек - глаза, уши, волосы, плечи, фигуру, ладони и т.д.

Ключевые моменты при выполнении упражнения:

- вначале работайте только с очень хорошо знакомыми образами

- следите за тем, чтобы вспоминание было визуальным (зрачки вверх), ощущения и звуки пока не подключаем

- рассматривайте как можно больше частей объекта, за один раз - одну часть. Не пытайтесь представить весь объект целиком при расcматривании деталей.

10. Опиши картинку, использую Present Continuous. У тебя должен получиться рассказ, а не отдельные предложения. Используй разные описания, красивые обороты для этого. (Объем – не менее 15 предложений).
