Friends

Четвертый час

В новом учебном году встретились однокурсники (или бывшие одноклассники). Один из них дома за лето сделал ремонт. Опиши комнату (квартиру) после ремонта.

- I have heard that you have done renovation works in your flat.

- Yeah! I had the worst experience in my life. I hate such kind of work.

- Did you do repairs?

- Yes. But the most I like my bath-room because it is very convenient. The walls are tiled. There is a rack for towels, a bath and a basin. There is a shelf above the basin on which I keep soap, tooth-paste, tooth-brushes, combs, creams, shampoos and make-up.

- Is there a mirror in your bath-room?

- Sure, it is above the shelf.

- What about the colour of bath and tile on the floor?

- The bath itself and tile on the floor are of the same colour. It`s grey-bluish.

3.1 На основе диалога-образца, проиграйте следующую ситуацию.

Родители одного из студентов получили новую квартиру в новом микрорайоне города. Студент приглашает своих друзей на новоселье.

- I hear you have moved to a new apartment Steve. Is it true?

- Yes, it is. One of these days we'll arrange a housewarm-party. And I want you and your wife Carol to be present.

- Thank you for the Invitation. How do you like your new apartment?

- It is very comfortable. It is a three bedroom apartment with modem conveniences: electric stove and a lot of built-in cupboards.

- On what floor is it?

- Our apartment is on the tenth floor of a high-rise dwelling house. We've got two elevators which work round o'clock.

- Is it far from the centre of the city?

- Rather. It takes me about an hour to get to the centre by bus and by metro. If I drive a car, it takes me thirty minutes.

- I see. Have you bought new furniture?

- We've bought wall units, two armchairs and a new TV. We are planning to buy two carpets and a dining set.

- Good luck!

- Thanks. Are you going to move to a new apartment?

- No, I am not. We have been living in our two-room apartment for about eight years and we don't want to move anywhere.

- Your apartment is comfortable, isn't it?

- Yes, very. My wife arranged everything very nicely and I like it very much. We don't have much furniture, but we have got everything we need.

- I am glad to hear it.

4 По образцу диалога поделитесь информацией о своих друзьях (как давно знакомы, в каких отношениях, имеются ли общие интересы, знакомы ли ваши родители)

- Have you got many friends?

- Not many, but they are my constant ones. We have known each other since childhood.

- Did you study together at school?

- Yeah! Even went to the same kindergarten. Our parents keep in touch with each other. Our relations are warm.

- You are lucky to have such friends! And what are their names?

- They are Marat, Aisulu, Kirill, Bolat and Karina. We are different, however, we have common interests.

- Really?

- We all students, but study in various specialties. Some of us do courses in technical sciences, others in humanities.

- Have you got the closest among your friends?

- Yes, they are Marat and Bolat. Marat is sincere and honest guy. I can always rely on him, he is very responsible. As for Bolat, he is very ambitious and hard-working, sometimes he is obstinate. But I dislike that Marat can`t appreciate his time and he wastes his time on unnecessary things. Bolat is sometimes extravagant. Then it becomes difficult to understand him. But I like them!

- Do you spend much time together?

- Unfortunately, we haven`t any possibility to spend our spare time together all the time. Because our study at university takes much time. And we meet each other at the weekends.

- How do you spend your time?

- If the weather is fine we prefer some outdoor activities like going on picnic, going for a walk, swimming in the river or skiing or skating. During cold days we go to café.

- You really have fun together!

- Yeah! It`s true.

- My friend Rich is coming to town next week. Have you ever met him?

- No, I haven't.

- He's kind of crazy, but a great guy.

- Yeah, why do you say so? What's he like?

- He's really hard working, but sometimes he is very lazy. He's pretty talented and can do just about anything.

- Sounds interesting. Is he married?

- No, he isn't.

- What does he look like? Maybe my friend Alice would be interested in meeting him.

- He's tall, slim and quite good looking. I'm sure your friend would find him attractive. What's she like?

- She's outgoing and very athletic.

- Really? What sports does she like playing?

- She's a great tennis player and also goes bicycling a lot.

- What does she look like?

- She's kind of exotic looking. She's got long dark hair and black eyes. People think she is rather beautiful.

- Do you think she would like to meet Rich?

- Sure! Why don't we hook them up?

- Great idea!
