III. Read, translate and reproduce the dialogues:

Dialogue 1.

- I got up at 6.30 a.m. And you?

- I got up at 8 a.m.

- Why so late?

- Because I have my classes later than usual.

Dialogue 2.

- Will you help me, please?

- I would if I could. I’ve got a lot of work to do.

- What are you busy with?

- I have got to read and to translate two texts from English into Russian.

- How much time does it take you to do this?

- It’s hard to say. I’ll be busy till the end of the working day.

- What time will you be free?

- At about 6 p.m.

- May I give you a lift?

- It will be very kind of you.

- That’s settled. See you soon.

- Good bye.

- Good bye.

Dialogue 3.

Victor. – Are you through with your homework?

Nick. – Oh, no Victor. I have so many things to do for Monday.

Victor. – But look at you watch. It’s a quarter to twelve. It’s time to go to bed.

Nick. – Never mind. Tomorrow is Sunday. It’s our day-off.

Dialogue 4.

- Hello, Nick! Did you have a good day?

- Not bad! The usual sort of thing. Practical classes, lectures. You know.

- Did you try to take your English exam ahead of time?

- Well, I did. But the teacher advised me to get ready for English better.

- I see.

- After classes I went to the reading-room. It took me an hour to make an abstract of the paper recommended by our teacher of physics. And then Kate turned up. As usual.

- So, what did you do?

- We had a long talk.

- Oh, yes. What about?

- Oh, this and that. Things. You know. Then we had a lunch.

- Where did you go? Somewhere nice?

- No, just the cafe round the corner. Then I returned to the University and stayed at the reading-room till 17 (5 p.m.)

- Sounds like a boring day.

- I don’t think so. There is a very good proverb: «Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.»

• I think you are right.

Dialogue 5.

- Pete, you look so tired. You don’t feel well, do you?

- It’s not that. I am really tired. I am going to take my last exam. It’s English.

- Then you have a lot of work to do!

- Sure. I’ve got a small cassette-player and I listen to different texts and dialogues. I read and translate special texts and retell them. I also pay much attention to topics.

- Excuse my curiosity, what mark would you like to have in English?

- You’d better ask me what mark I don’t want to have.

- I know you have been fond of English since your childhood.

- It goes without saying that English is my favourite subject and I don’t want to have «sat» in my credit test book.

- How long does your working day last now?

- From morning till late at night.

- If you go to bed very late, I think it’s very difficult for you to get up early.

- I’m not an early riser, so I get up at 8. I am sorry I must be going. Time presses.

- Good-buy. But don’t forget to have a short rest after hard work. I wish you luck.

- Thank you. See you soon.
