P.O.: Well, I had the impression that you weren't walking normally and I can smell alcohol now that I am standing next to you.

M.: But I've only had two beers. That's all I've had. P.O.: Well, you know that it is very dangerous to drink and

drive even with a small quantity of alcohol. M.: But it was only a couple of beers with my meal.

P.O.: If you think you have really drunk so little... However, we can make sure with a breathalyzer test.

M.: Do I really have to take the test?

Р.О.: No, it is voluntary. But it will definitely show your blood alcohol concentration.

M.: Oh? How does that work?

Р.O.: It's all very simple, really. This is our breathalyzer device. Now, it is very important that you haven't smoked within the last five minutes and that you haven't drunk any alcohol within the last fifteen minutes.No problem there. Let's try it out.

Р.О.: This is the device and this is the mouthpiece, which is sterile. This is where you've got to blow. Now blow hard and keep blowing until the acoustic signal stops.

М.: What does it show?

Р.О.: Have a look at it yourself. The device shows 1.5 %. М.: What does that mean? Is that over the limit? Am I not

allowed to drive a car now?

Р.О.: It's definitely over the limit. You can't possibly drive with so much alcohol in your blood. In other words, you are not allowed to drive.

М.: Well, if that's the case, I'd better leave the car here. But I've got to get to my hotel. It's too far to walk.

Р.О.: We can get you a taxi if you wish.

М.: That's a good idea. Thank you very much officer.

Ex. 4. Read and translate the text using the vocabulary notes:

buildings are divided into blocks by streets. Short narrow streets that join larger ones together are called lanes. On one side of the streets the 49

buildings have even numbers, on the other – odd numbers. The streets are usually paved with asphalt.

In the streets, roads and squares of the town we see people walking and vehicles driving. The vehicles are trams, buses, trolley-buses, motorcycles, taxis, minibuses, motor-scooters, cars, bicycles. We can’t imagine life without traffic. They connect the centre with the suburbs. During the morning rush hour the transport system is usually overcrowded. During the evening rush hour, with everyone hurrying home it carries the greatest amount of passengers too.

On both sides of the street there are pavements where people walk. People usually cross the streets at special places called crossings. When the traffic is heavy the policeman on point duty has to stop the neverending stream by raising one hand, thus affording the pedestrians a chance to cross the street. At the corners of the streets there are traffic lights.

When the red light is switched on the traffic stops, when the green light is switched on the vehicles drive on. In any case, before crossing the road take care to look to the left and when you reach the middle of the road, look to the right. At big crossroads in large towns and cities there are underground crossings for pedestrians.

In England vehicles drive on the left. In Ukraine the traffic drives on the right. In very large towns which are called cities the fastest and the most convenient means of transport is the Metro. You can get from one end of a city to another in no time. In the Metro you find signs showing you where to change for other lines. In the centre and the important parts of a large town, there are squares, parks and market places.

A town is generally situated near or on a river across which bridges are built. In all towns there are places of interest, which a stranger would be invited to see - monuments, cathedrals, museums, and so on .

A town is governed by a council, the head of which is styled the mayor. The police maintain public order, control the traffic and protect the people from different criminal individuals.
