A. An Old Friend of Mine Comes to See Me

A few days ago I was sitting at home writing an article on the development of the machine building industry in our country when an old friend of mine, engineer Belov, rang me up. We had studied together at the Institute but we had seldom seen each other since that time. Sometimes I got letters from him but not very often. I knew that my friend had been abroad, and had worked somewhere in the south of our country and then in the north.

Now I was glad to hear my friend’s voice again. Michael [maikl] Belov told me that he had just returned from the United States of America, where he had beеn on business. I wanted to see my friend very much and invited him to come to my place. Michael said that he would come as soon as the conference he was attending was over.

He arrived at my place at 8 o clock. We were very glad to see each other. I introduced him to my wife as they had not met before. We had many things to talk over, and I invited Michael to my study. We sat talking for a long time, while my wife was busy preparing supper in the kitchen. My friend told me that he lived in Minsk and worked at a big machine building plant as a chief engineer. I told Michael that I was working at the laboratory of a big research institute. My friend got very interested in the research work our Institute was carrying out. He said that the results of our work were very important for the improvement of the process of production at their plant and that he wanted to find out everything about them. I invited him to visit our laboratory. We agreed that he would come to our Institute the next day. A little later my wife joined us, and during supper we discussed politics, business and the latest news. Michael told us many interesting things abut life in England and in the USA. I was especially interested in England as I was going there on business in a month. I told my friend that I had begun to study English, and Michael agreed that I had made good progress in it. He left my place late at night.

As Michael said he had many things to do and had to stay in Moscow for a week more, I invited him to stay with us over the week end. He accepted my invitation with pleasure.

B.Dialogue

—Hello, Bob! Have you included me in the list of those going for a trip to Vologda.

—Not yet. I asked you twice if you would join us but I haven’t heard any definite answer from you yet.

—You see, my mother was ill. So I was not sure whether I should be able to go.

—Oh, I see. Is she any better now?

—Thank you, she is quite well now.

—By the way, have you brought me the book I gave you last time?

—What book do you mean?

—The book by V. Rasputin “Live and Remember”.

—Sorry, Bob. I haven’t read it yet to the very end. I have a few pages left. I’ll bring it to you the day after tomorrow.

—All right. Then see you the day after tomorrow, and my best regards to your mother.
