5. Ваш класс выиграл конкурс и вам дали грант. Обьясните иностранному журналисту, от кого вы получили грант, за что и что вы планируете купить на полученные деньги для школы.

• I`m a correspondent to the “ Daily Sentinel”. As far as I know you`ve won a grant recently. Our readers would like to know more about it.

• 6 month ago our class learnt about the competition “ Russia and Great Britain” held by the British Council and decided to take part in it. Our project “ British people in Saratov” was considered the best and we were awarded a grant 5 hundred pounds worth.

• Congratulations ( Well done). Was it difficult to win?

• In fact it was. The most difficult part of it all was gathering (collecting) information. It took us about half the time.

• And what about the second half?

• It was spent on selecting the most important facts and their presentation.

• What sources of information did you use?

• We looked for the required information in the University Library, the Children`s Library and the city Archive.[/a:kaiv]

• What are you going to spend money on?

• We are going to buy a new furniture, a DVD player and British video courses for our English room.

• Are you going to take part in any other competitions?

• We have just applied for another grant.

6. Ваш друг вернулся из поездки в страну изучаемого языка. Расспросите его о поездке: где он был, что произвело на него впечатление и почему.

• Hi! Haven`t seen you for ages. Where have you been? ( You are looking fabulous. Where did you get this gorgeous tan?)(роскошный загар)

• Oh, I`ve just come back from a baggage tour?

• Really? Where did you go?

• I went to...

• Wow! Did you go there with your parents?

• Yes, my mother has always dreamed about a holiday in...

• How long did you stay there?

• Two weeks but I wish I had spent there much more time. It was fantastic!

• I see. Did you do any sightseeing or did you spend all the time swimming and lying in the sun?

• In fact we did a lot of sightseeing but we also had enough time to relax by the sea.

• What did you like best? ( What impressed you most of all?)

• You know I could speak about the tour for hours but the ancient ...(cathedrals, castles...) impressed me most of all.

• I wish I could go travelling to...too.

7. В одном из европейских городов вы отстали от группы во время экскурсии. Вам нужно добраться до отеля, где вы остановились. Спросите у прохожего, каким транспортом туда лучше добраться, сколько это займет времени и где ближайшая остановка.

• Excuse me, could you tell me where the ... hotel is.

• I`m sorry I can`t. I am a stranger here myself.

• Sorry to have troubled you. Perhaps that lady over there will be able to help me... Sorry to trouble you but can you tell me the way to the ... hotel, please.

• Oh, it`s rather far from here. You can go there by bus or by Tube. You may take a taxi if you are in a hurry.

• What is the fastest way to get there? I`m afraid I`m being late...

• If I were you I would take № 222 bus. It is cheaper than going there by taxi.

• How long will it take me?

• About 15 minutes.

• Fine and will you tell me where the nearest bus stop is?

• Certainly. It`s just round the corner. I`m going in the same direction myself, so if you come with me, I`ll show you the way.

• That`s very kind of you. Thank you very much.

• You are welcome!

8. Вы в магазине в одном из европейских городов и хотите купить что- то из новой одежды на лето. Посоветуйтесь с продавцом, что купить, идет ли вам эта вещь, узнайте цену и решите, покупать ли вам ее.

• Can I help you?

• I`m looking for something casual but stylish. I`ll have to spend much time travelling so I would like to feel comfortable.

• I think I may say we have a very fine selection of casual clothes. Since you are going to spend much time travelling you`ll need a pair of jeans, some T-shirts or tank tops and may be a sweater.

• No denim clothes for me. Denim makes me hot.

• What about this cotton pants. They are Italian, only came in the morning. We`ve got them in 3 colours.

• I like those blue ones. They will go with my...

• Certainly. Navy blue is hot this season. What size do you wear?

• We have different sizes in our country. In Russia my size is 42.

• That`ll be size 36.

• Where can I try them on?

• The fitting room is over there.

• Do they fit?

• They fit perfectly.

• How much are they?

• 80 euros but we make 25 percent discount for tourists.

• OK, I`ll take them.
