Ex. 8. Match the two parts of proverbs

Ex. 7. Read the dialogue

Here is a conversation between Mrs Smith (Joan) and husband Steve. It's Saturday and Joan and Steve are decorating.

Joan Steve, you missed a bit.

Steve Where?

Joan Here, on the wall just by the window, you can see a patch of white.

Steve Oh yes, I see it. It's difficult in this light.

Joan I know, well at least we have finished this room, only five more to go.

Steve Are you sure you want to put wallpaper up in the lounge?

Joan Yes, but don't worry, I'm really good at wallpapering. I just wish that John would decide on what he wants his room doing in.

Steve I know, it's difficult when you're a boy. At least he's grown out of Star Wars, I keep thinking he'll ask for red and black or something equally gruesome.

Joan Yes, but it is his room. I'm glad we decided not to move though. Maybe we should think about building an extension to the kitchen instead.

Steve One thing at a time please! Lets get this decorating over and done with first.

Joan Ha! Oh by the way you missed a bit by the door too!

Steve Hmmm, thanks. Here's a brush.

1. Every bird likes	a) like home.

Ex. 9. Read and translate the following dialogue. Learn it by heart and act with your fellow-student.

Dialogue: “Arranging the House”

Barbara: Give me a hand with this sideboard, Charles. I want it over there by the settee.

Charles: Don't you think it would be better under that picture by the armchair?

Barbara: No. The picture isn't staying there anyway. I only hung it on the wall because it was in the way on the floor. We can arrange the pictures when all the furniture is in place.

Charles: Where did I put my big screwdriver? It's not in the toolbox and I want to tighten up these loose screws on the door hinges.

Barbara: You had it in your hand when you went into the kitchen just now. Perhaps you left it there.

Charles: Yes, I think I put it down on the shelf above the sink. I'll go and fetch it.

Barbara: Pass me that brash behind the chair before you go; and take your tools off that nice polished table. You'll spoil all our furniture before you finish.

Charles: Don't keep on nagging. I've got to put them somewhere. By the way, have you seen the cat this morning? You didn't shut him outside last night, did you? He'll get lost.

Barbara: No. He's definitely inside the house. I expect he's fed up with all the fuss and noise. He's probably crept into a cupboard somewhere and gone to sleep.

Charles: That's just what I'd like to do. I'm tired of it all as well.
