17. Вы собираетесь в школе подготовить вечер, посвященный дню города, в котором примут участие ваши зарубежные гости. Посоветуйтесь с учителем, как и когда можно провести вечер.

- Could I speak to you for a moment?

- Certainly, what`s the problem?

- We are going to hold a party on the Day of the City.

- That`s a good idea.

- What do you think the best time for the party is?

- The Day of the City is on the first Sunday of September so I think Saturday is the right day.

- And what about the time? Will 1 p. m. be OK?

- I`m sure it will suit everybody.

- We are not sure about the program. I think we should remind the audience of the history of Saratov, the most important historic events but my friends argue that it will be too boring.

- You can show a short documentary about the history of Saratov, its past and present and then offer the participants some competitions.

- Great! Can we ask our British guests to take part in the party?

- Why not? They will be happy to share their impressions with other students.

- Thank you very much.

- You are welcome.

18. Вы собираетесь поехать в страну изучаемого языка в октябре. Узнайте у своего зарубежного друга, который там живет, какая погода в октябре, часто ли она меняется и что лучше брать с собой из вещей.

• This is ... speaking. Can I talk to...please?

• Certainly. Hold on, I`ll call him/her.

• Hi... How are you?

• I`m OK. You know, I`ve got great news. I am coming to England in October to study in a language school in Chesterton.

• Wow. Fantastic! Chesterston is not far from London, so we`ll be able to see each other and spend some time together.

• Sure. By the way what is the weather usually like in East England at this time of the year?

• To tell you the truth October is not the best time of the year. It often rains and it is not very warm.

• As far as I know English weather is very changeable. Is it true?

• Unfortunately, it is. We often say that there is no climate in Britain, only weather.

• So what kind of clothes should I take with me?

• I think you will do with a pair of jeans, and a couple of warm sweaters and a jacket.

• And what about shoes?

• Take your trainers and a pair of comfortable walking boots because you`ll have to spend a lot of time doing the sightseeing.

• Shall I take an umbrella?

• I`m sure you`ll need it.

• Thanks a lot. I`ll call you soon and tell you the exact date of my arrival and the number of my flight.

• I`ll be looking forward to our meeting.

19. Ваш зарубежный друг в плохом настроении. Попытайтесь узнать, в чем причина его плохого настроения, чем вы можете ему помочь, дайте совет, как исправить ситуацию.

• What`s the matter with you? You look so sad.

• I`ve had an argument with my best friend and we are not speaking at the moment.

• Why did you quarrel? Was the reason really serious?

• ..........................................................

• Is that all? May be your friend did mean to hurt you?

• I don`t know but at that moment I was so frustrated, I thought I WOULD NEVER SAY A WORD TO him/her.

• I`m sorry to hear that, but it has happened to me too.

• Oh, has it? What would you do if you were me?

• I think you need to ask yourself one question: what`s more important- that argument or your friendship. I remember when I asked myself that it all became clear. I realized my friendship was more important. I called my friend immediately and talled him/her about it. We became friends again. Maybe you should do the same thing.

• You think I should apologize first?

• Absolutely.

• Thanks a lot. I`ll call my friend right now.

20. Вы с другом готовите проект о стране изучаемого языка. Обсудите, о чем будет ваше сообщение и почему, кто из вас что будет делать.

• We are to make a project about Great Britain and it`s culture. Do you have any ideas?

• I think British music is a very interesting aspect of British culture.

• Absolutely. Our classmates are sure to enjoy listening to British music.

• But you are not going only to play music.

• Of course not. I believe a multimedia presentation providing some information about the most famous pop( rock) groups( singers) will be also exiting.

• No doubt it will. But there are many popular singers( groups). Who do you think we should choose for our presentation?

• ... their hits are always number one in many charts.

• I agree with you.

• Fine. Now let`s distribute our responsibilities. As for me I am going to surf the Internet and find some information about...

• And what will I do?

• You are good at working on computer so you`ll be able to make a computer presentation.

• OK, let`s start working( get started).
