1. Read the dialogues:
1) – What does this window overlook?
– It faces a garden.
– Oh, how nice! Green is always pleasant to one’s eyes, isn’t it?
– On the one hand it is. But on the other…there is a children’s corner just opposite my
window, you know.
2) – Do you like this arm-chair?
– Yes, it looks very comfortable. But I think you’ve put it in a dark place.
- Well, it isn’t quite so. Let me switch on the wall lamp … . What would you say now?
– Oh, fine!
3) – Where is my pen?
– Look on the writing-table.
– But it isn’t on the table.
– Then look under the table…or in front of your chair…or behind the sofa. It must be in the room.
– No, not under the table… . Oh, here it is!
– Where was it?
– It was in my pocket.
4) – Put the telephone on the bedside table, please.
– But there’s no room for it: there are too many things on the table.
– You may take the vase away.
– And what about the desk lamp? May I take it away too?
5) – You’ve got a large flat, Nick. By the way, is this your room?
– No, It’s not mine.
– Whose room is this?
– It’s my children’s.
– Where’s your room?
– It’s over there.
– Oh, what a comfortable room!
– It’s good, isn’t it? I like it.
6) – Hello, Ann!
– Hello, Mary. Come in, please. I want to show you my new flat. This way, please. This
is our living-room.
– What a nice room! It’s larger than your old one, isn’t it?
– Yes, it’s larger and lighter. The flat is very comfortable. The kitchen is larger too.
– The flat is really good. I’m glad for you, Ann.
7) – Bob, come and see my new flat on Sunday.
– With pleasure. What’s your address?
– It’s 55 Novaya Street, flat 137.
– By the way, is there a telephone in your flat?
– Yes, there is. Write down my telephone number, please. It’s 308-11-82.
– How can I get to your house?
– By bus 16. The bus stop is in front of the underground station.
– That’s very convenient. Well, thank you for invitation, see you on Saturday, then.
2. Read the dialogue and make up a story about Mrs. Parker’s flat.
Students: Good evening, Mrs. Parker. We should like to see the room you let.
Mrs. Parker: Are you the students of the University?
S.:Yes, we are. We are looking for a flat with all modern conveniences.
Mrs. P.: where did you live before?
S.: We rented a room in an old house, which was pulled down. Now we at our friends.
Mrs. P.: Then go and see my room. There are all necessary pieces of furniture in it. The room
faces the city park and it is not far from the University.
S.: your room is really nice and comfortable. But what about bed linen and would you also allow us to use the refrigerator and the TV set?
Mrs. P.: Yes, that is included in the rent which is quite reasonable. You are to pay 50 pounds each.
S.: It isn’t bed indeed. When can we move in?
Mrs. P.: Any time you like. The room is ready.
