I. Presentation Making an Appointment Договор о встрече

Перевод

You return to your room to make an important phone call to your late Aunt’s attorney. He’s the person who called to ask you to come to the U.S. You dial the attorney’s office to make an appointment.

It is unlikely that you will need an attorney, also called a “lawyer”, when you travel within the U.S. as a tourist. You may have occasion to meet one if you are involved in business dealings with an American company.

Telephone etiquette is rather simple in the U.S. When calling it is considered polite to introduce yourself by giving your name: “This is Mr. … . I’d like to speak with Mr./Ms ….” If you don’t give your name, most secretaries will ask who’s calling. If the person you’re calling is unable to answer, you will be told either to hold or will be asked if there is a message. There’s nothing wrong with leaving your name and phone number, as well as the reason for your call. In most cases, your call will be returned within a few minutes.

Порядок слов в английском повествовательном предложении

Отличительной чертой английского повествовательного предложения является строгий порядок слов

Правило 1(двух рук):

Подлежащие + Сказуемое + Что? Где? Когда?

Такой порядок слов называется «прямой»

NB! (Nota Bene!- Запомни!) «когда» может стоять перед подлежащим и сказуемым. Подлежащие отвечает на вопрос что?/кто?

Например:

I read a book at home every evening.

Every evening I read a book at home.

NB! I have a book. - Я имею книгу.

У меня есть книга.

I like this book. - Я люблю эту книгу.

Мне нравится эта книга.
