UNIT 1

What's your name? What's your job? Where are you from?

Hi! My name's Victor Kuznetsov. I'm an engineer. I'm from Petersburg. I live and work in Petersburg. I'm 41 (forty-one) and I'm married.

This is my wife Lucy. She's a teacher. We have 2 (two) children. These are our children. They're students. This is our son Alex. He's a college student. And that girl is our daughter. She's a high-school student. Her name's Vera.

What about you? Where are you from? Do you have a family?

Welcome to Petersburg

Today's Tuesday. It's a work day. What time is it? It`s 11 (eleven) o'clock in the morning. All my friends are in the office now. My boss in the office too. He's busy. But I'm not at work. I'm at Pulkovo International Airport. I'm in the bar. What a nice surprise! I see a friend there. His name's Franklin, Frank for short. He's American. He's from Boston. He's going to meet his wife. She's going to stay with him here in Petersburg. And I'm going to meet an American businessman. His name's Richard Johnson. He's from New York.

He's our guest.

What flight is it? It's the New York flight. These men are Russian tourists. Those women are English. I see a man from the New York flight. Who's that man? Is he Mr. Johnson? No, that isn't Mr. Johnson. But where is Mr. Johnson? There he is! Welcome to Petersburg, Mr. Johnson!

Mr. Johnson has only one suitcase. He's going to stay at the Astoria Hotel. The taxi ride from the airport is not very long. It's not very far from here to the hotel. Very soon we're at the Astoria. What time is it? It's 12 o'clock. Mr. Johnson has a reservation. He has a comfortable room. His room number is 354 (three fifty-four). His telephone number is 219—6708 (two-one-nine-six-seven-oh-eight).
