CHANGING FOREIGN CURRENCY

Dialogue 7

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon, sir.

- I’ve just arrived from Boston and I’ve got some foreign currency. I’d like to change it into roubles. Is that possible?

- We can take the bank notes but I’m afraid we can’t take the small change.

- Then could you change these notes, please?

- Certainly, sir. I’ll just check the exchange rates.

The words to be introduced and checked by the teacher:

currency – валюта

bank note – банкнот

note - банкнота, банковый билет

small change - мелкие деньги, мелочь; разменная монета

exchange rate - валютный курс

extra - добавочный, дополнительный; лишний

cash - наличные деньги, наличный расчет

- Good morning.

- Good morning, sir.

- I’ve just come back from a trip to Russia and I’d like to change on these roubles, please.

- We can change but I’m afraid we can pay a very low rate of exchange on Russian currency, sir.

- Oh, that doesn’t matter. I can’t use them anyway.

- All right, sir. Just one moment, please.

The words to be introduced and checked by the teacher:

rate of exchange - валютный курс

Oh, that doesn’t not matter at all. – О, это не имеет никакого значения!

- How are you getting on with your new computer?

- Not too bad but sometimes I just can't get the hang of it.

- Do you mean it drives you out of senses?

- Well, not that often but there are things that completely mystify me.

- What sort of things do you have in mind?

- Well, take the times when everything freezes.

- Yes, I know what you mean that's when you'd like to smash it to pieces.

- Never mind, just think of all the benefits you get from having it.

- Personally I'm looking forward to my holidays when I'll be free of it for two weeks!

- Yes, of course. Would you like to postpone our meeting or bring it forward?

I’d rather not cancel it.

- I think we should definitely meet. Would it be possible to meet at the weekend?

- No, this weekend isn't possible, I’m afraid. But I have time on Thursday at noon and on Friday evening.

- Well, for me it would be convenient to meet on Friday. I'll arrive in London tomorrow. I`ll confirm my arrival by a phone call.
