Dialog A.
- Why? Why did he tell him to leave the pitch?
- You mean why did the referee send off the forward? I think he was right to do so. The forward was rude to the other player.
- But he didn’t mean to. He didn’t mean to kick him.
- Makes no difference. He kicked the defender of the other team. If the referee didn’t stop such rude behaviour there’d be lots of injured player at the end of the game.
- Look, it’s starting to rain.
- Good. It will calm them down a bit.

Dialog B.
- What are you watching?
- The semifinal. We are playing against Germany.
- Have we got any chance of getting to the final?
- Theoretically speaking, yes. The German team is strong, but we still have a chance.
- And do I have at least a theoretical chance of switching the TV to my favourite Discovery channel program tonight?
- Not a chance. It’s a semifinal, can't you understand it?

Dialog C.
- They are so cute? Look, they are trying to play with the ball.
- The bears. Oh, and that one: the dark one is acting like a goalkeeper.
- I always have mixed feelings when I come here. On the one hand — all these animals are so cute and it’s so nice to watch them.
- But...
- But on the other hand it’s so sad that they are going to spend their whole life here, in cages and not in the forests they belong in.

Dialog D.
- Feeling bored, aren’t you?
- Yeah.
- It’s because you’re lying on the shore like a lazy sea lion. Come on, let’s go for a swim.
- The water is too cold today.
- Then let’s have a volleyball or football game.
- Right here?
- Yes, I’ve got a ball. I think some other people will join us. Meanwhile you can be a goalkeeper. You will, won't you?

Dialog A.
- Hello.
- Hello, can I help you?
- Yes, I think so. We need to make an essay about the history of our town. I thought there will probably be some interesting materials here.
- Yes, if you are doing a research we have some absolutely unique sources here, like old brochures, newspapers and magazines. They are in the archive, but you can use them after a preliminary request.
- Can I borrow them for a day or two to work at home?
- Absolutely not! They are for use here only!

Dialog B.
- Busy?
- Not really. Just browsing internet for the information. We’re organizing a historical party at school and I need anything related to the history of our town.
- I don’t think you can find anything really interesting on the web. But if we go upstairs to granny’s room..
- Why?
- When I was small she shoved me mother’s collections of news clippings, old photos, letters and postcards. She kept all of it in her chest of drawers. And I’m sure the collection is still there.
- Why didn’t you mentioned this archive ever before? Let's have a look at it right now. It sounds very interesting!

Dialog C.
- Excuse me, where can I collect my parcel? Here is a notification.
- I’m sorry, but I don’t think you can collect it.
- Why?
- The parcel came in March. Can you seen the date on the stand there? It’s May already! We don’t keep parcels here for longer than a month.
- Did you send it back to the library? There are materials I oredered from them; I need them for my research.
- I’m sorry. But those are the rules.

Dialog D.
- This is the oldest part of our town. Some buildings, the old post office and the railway station dated by the 18th century. And you can see that they are build in the traditional colonial style.
- Are they in use now? I mean they are only the historical museums now, aren’t they?
- No, the buildings are in good operating order. And provides services for customers. Right in front of the post office you can see a photo exposition. It gives a good idea of what this street looked like a hundred years ago. Let’s go there and have a look at it.

Dialog A.
- Hi, I thought I was late.
- The bell is gone. But Ms Morgan isn’t here yet.
- That’s a piece of luck.
- I thought I was going to be late too. I was looking for my mobile phone which turned out to be on the bottom of my bag. I always feel so nervous before tests.
- It’s not only you. Have you managed to revise the vocabulary?
- As good as… Oh no! I forgot all my essay!

Dialog B.
- What are you doing Tommy?
- Writing an essay about mobile phones in our life. It seems like our French teacher can’t do without our clumsy paragraphs full of mistakes.
- It’s very good of her, I think. Writing essays regularly is very useful for learning the language.
- Yeah, probably.
- I hope you’ll be through with your homework by 8. Mrs. Clock and Sandra are coming for dinner.
- That explains the delicious smell from the kitchen. Yes, I’ll do my best. Now I’m motivated.

Dialog C.
- Who are you texting?
- A friend. She is still at school and I want her to find out about my test result.
- Are you heading home now?
- Yes. If we’re lucky we will catch the 4’o’clock bus. I would really like to catch it or we’ll get cold. It’s so windy today.
- Look, there it is. It’s a bit earlier today or my watches a bit slow.

Dialog D.
- Pleas, stop texting. You’re distracting me!
- There is nothing to be distracted from, it’s so boring! And if you went for the pop corn I would have left ages to go.
- But I like it! It’s a classical psychological drama and I have to write an essay about it for my French course.
- Are you saying that I have to watch it for the very end? Then you buy me another bucket of the pop corn.
- Agreed. But turn off your mobile phone right now! Ok?

Dialog A.
- Feeling tired?
- Yeah, I’ve been on the treadmill for half an hour already.
- You take your fitness classes very seriously, don’t you?
- I have to. I’ve put on five kilos after the last 2 weeks. Too many buns and cakes.
- Hmm, yeah, but if you exercise here regularly you’ll be in good shape really soon.
- I’m also thinking about going swimming a couple of days a week.

Dialog B.
- I’m dying for a drink!
- I thought you liked dancing?
- I do. But I need a break. Let’s have a drink and a sandwich.
- Ok. Chicken or tuna?
- Chicken. And a glass of mineral water, still.

Dialog C.
- So, what’s wrong with you?
- I don’t really know. But my foot hurts and it’s getting worse every day.
- When did you first feel the pain?
- Hmmm. 3 days ago. At first I thought it’s because of my intensive courses in my fitness club, I didn’t pay too much attention, but yesterday we had a party and I had to leave almost at once as it was difficult not only to dance, but to walk.
- Well, we'll have to x-ray your foot just to make sure everything is all right with the bones.

Dialog D.
- Where are we going now?
- To sport square!
- Gosh, you never done any sport!
- Right, so it’s a good time to start.
- Because you put on some extra kilos?
- Mainly. But also because it’s a mega sale in the sport square! I can buy everything in a half price!

Dialog A.
- Sorry, I’m a bit late!
- Never mind, I’ve just arrived myself. How was your day?
- Tough. And I feel really hungry. Have you ordered anything yet?
- I’m going to have a salad and a coffee. But you should have something more substantial.
- I will. Just let me have a look. Ok. I’ll have a green salad and some chicken with potatoes and a dessert.
- They serve a very tasty toffy pudding, you should try it.

Dialog B.
- I don’t approve of this habit of your’s.
- Which one this time?
- Eating while watching TV.
- Why? What’s wrong with it?
- You can’t control the amount of food you consumed when you watch a film. You have already finished two bowls of pop corn and a chocolate bar.
- And what? School is really hard and I need to relax.

Dialog C.
- It was a good idea to get out of the city. Look, the kids a happily flying their kite.
- Yeah, and they had a hearty meat. I don’t remember them ever eating with such appetite at home.
- The sandwiches were really good. I liked the baked potatoes very much too.
- They were burned a bit, but they were ok anyway.
- Could you pass me an apple please? It’s a pity we have to off soon, they promised the light rain in the evening.

Dialog D.
- Apple, tomato juice or mineral water for you, sir?
- Mineral water, without gas.
- Hear.
- There is something wrong with my seat. I can’t put it in the right position.
- Just let me see. Press this button on your left.
- Oh, thanks. Now it’s fine. Are you serving lunch soon?
- Yes, in a few minutes. The cart with the lunch boxes is almost ready.

- It’s a nice day for jogging, isn’t it? The weather is very pleasant.
- Yes. But I jog in any weather anyway.
- Even if it rains?
- Even if it rains. If you want to keep fit, you need to do sports regularly. My jogging root is always the same. From the center gates, round the lake, pass the playground and back to the gates. Regardless of what season is or what the weather.

Dialog B.
- Excuse, but aren’t the sports facilities free for the guests staying here?

- And what’s this for?
- Oh this is accessories like punch bags and gloves are for boxing. You are not interested in boxing, I suppose.
- No. just in aerobics.

Dialog D.
- This part of the town is relatively new. There are modern residential buildings, sport centers, a large swimming pool and so on and so far.
- Are there any historical buildings here?
- Yes. And that’s where we are heading to. It’s about a 15 minutes drive. It’s a large historical complex with this manias 8 churches of the 16th to 19th centuries.
- Are they still in operation or have they been converted in the museums?
- Some of them are museums and some are still working churches. We’ll see both kinds. Now, look to your right, we are passing the stadium. It’s a modern one. And some international competitions are even held there.

Dialog A.
- I’m afraid your suitcase is too big, sir.
- What should I do with it?
- You can either pay for the repackage or you can just get some of the things out of your suitcase to fill it and take them as a hand luggage.
- The repacking can be a problem because there are some personal things here like presents and everything. I’ll take out books, they are heavy.
- Ok. But might be that your hand luggage is heavy as well.

Dialog B.
- What kind of bag are you looking for?
- Well… anything suitable for a frequent traveler. It should be big as a have to take closes, books and sport equipment. And it should be easy to pull.
- How about this suitcase then? It’s big and it looks comfortable enough. With to handles, two pockets and compartments.
- Yeah. And I like the color. How much is it?
- I’ll find out the prize. But I don’t think it’s really expensive.

Dialog C.
- Many happy returns!
- Thank you! Oh, is this for me? What is it?
- Just unwrap it and you’ll see.
- Oh, bag! I always wanted a bag like this! How did you know?
- We’ve been friends for a good while, don’t we? I know you taste by now.
- Thanks again. And, I think you know everyone here, just come in and enjoy the crowd.

Dialog D.
- Do you think they will find the bag with the money?
- No, they won’t. the delivery guy will find it. He’ll make use of the money while the police are chasing the gangsters.
- How do you know that?
- I read the story. It’s actually the screen version of a pretty well known story.
- Oh, I see. Don’t tell me what’s going to happen next then.

Dialog A.
- Excuse me, where can I find something about the history of the theater?
- Let me see. Right… there we have some materials on Shakespeare in theater. Next: the most famous international drama schools.
- I have to write an essay and I probably should start with Shakespeare’s time.
- That sounds logical, but there were also theatrical performance in the ancient world. Would you like to see some texts on related theme in Ancient Greece?
- Yeah, I’d really like to.

Dialog B.
- Tommy, what are you looking for in your bag?
- Nothing, Mrs. Simpson.
- Please don’t get distracted. There is very little time left before the bell. Just choose it to check your writing to be sure there is no mistakes.
- Ok, I will. But I’m not Shakespeare and there will be mistakes anyway. You never give me very high grades.
- You have a fair chance to improve your academic performance if you were only more attentive.

Dialog C.
- Feeling cold?
- Oh, no. On the contrary a bit hot. There are so many people here today. And one needs to be attentive and fast to avoid crashing into anyone.
- I think you do brilliantly.
- The ice is very good today and the music too. Why are you still wearing your boots? Come on! Get on the ice!
- Not today. I hurt my knee a couple of days ago. And I don’t want to take any risks. We are going to the theater tonight, by the way. How about joining us?

Dialog D.
- How much did you said the tickets were?
- I’m not telling you and you shouldn’t have asked! It’s your birthday present.
- I know I know I just…
- Are you saying that you don’t like the performance?
- No, I can’t be so categorical, some songs were really nice. And I like the city dancer’s performance but some songs don’t appeal to me at all.

Dialogue А.
A: Today we are going to talk about how to draw a portrait. You know lots of artists who painted portraits, don't you?
B: Yes, we do. I know some of them also painted self-portraits, but I'm not sure what it means...
A: It means that the artist created the portrait of himself. We'll talk about that type of portrait later.
B: Are we going to draw self-portraits too?
A: Yes, we are. But much later on. Otherwise I'm afraid they'll look like self-caricatures.

Dialogue В.
A: Oh, Toni! Here you are at last!
B: Hi, Jack. Sorry for keeping you waiting. The flight was delayed 30 minutes and then it took me some time to find my suitcase in baggage reclaim.
A: Let me help you with it. Oh, it's heavy! And what's in the package?
B: Careful! It's the picture I bought in Rome. The artist is unknown, but it looks valuable. And the colours are very nice.
A: If it were really valuable, they wouldn't have let you through customs. Anyway, let's go, the taxi's waiting.

Dialogue С.
A: I really think we should change something here. Our flat looks too traditional, too boring. It's very old-fashioned.
B: Ok, ok, don't get so excited about it. What would you like to change?

B: But I like the furniture there. I don't mind painting the walls but let's leave the furniture as it is...

A: It's good you're in. Aren't you going out today?
B: No. I want to have a quiet evening watching TV.

B: Yeah, sort of. A cup of tea would make me feel much better.
A: Ok, I'll make it right now. Will you help me in the kitchen later?

Dialogue В.
A: Did you hear what he said?
B: No. Something about a tea party. That actor speaks so quietly. I have to make an effort to understand what he says.
A: It's irritating, isn't it? And the play is really boring.
B: I'm disappointed too. I don't like either the plot or the actors. Next time we'll see some classical comedy or drama.
A: Yeah, the classics are probably safer.

Dialogue С.
A: Are you sure they are going to give us some lunch? I'm really hungry.
B: Don't worry. As soon as we reach the altitude needed for the flight, they'll offer us drinks: tea, coffee, water or juice. And then you'll get your plastic lunch tray.
A: You look so relaxed. Don't you feel nervous?
B: Why should I? I often have to fly... If I worried each time, I would end up with a nervous breakdown. ... And ... our tea's coming...

A: And there are no towels in my bathroom.

B: Cross the bridge and go straight ahead till the first traffic lights. Then turn to the right and you'll see it.
A: Thank you.
B: Enjoy your day! The Waterpark is probably the best place in the city in such hot weather.

Dialogue С.
A: Now we are moving along one of the oldest streets of the town. The buildings on your right date from the 18th century. But most buildings on the left side of the road were built at the end of the 19th century.
B: Why is there such a difference between the two sides of the street?
A: The houses on the left side were badly damaged by the flood in 1860. The water went as high as the windows. The houses on the right side are located higher on the hill — the water didn't get them.
В: I see. And what building are we passing by now? I feel as though I've seen it in a movie!

Dialogue D.
A: Do you often come here?
B: Yes. Twice a week. It keeps me fit. And I like it, especially in winter — it's cold and windy outdoors but the warm water reminds of the summer and the seaside.
A: The water doesn't feel very warm to me...
B: They maintain a comfortable temperature of 23−24 degrees. Otherwise, the water would be good for taking a bath, not for sports activities.

A: And where are your bags? Haven't you collected them at the baggage reclaim yet?

A: Very smart. Shall we go then? My car is at the parking lot.

Dialogue В.
A: Excuse me, have you got this bag in beige or brown?
B: Let me see. No, unfortunately not. We have this model in white, olive and red. Have a look at the white one. It looks very elegant.
A: Yes, it does. But I need something more casual and practical. I need it for university and everything.
B: What do you say to this model then? It wears very well, you can put a lot inside and it looks trendy at that:

Dialogue С.
A: Hey, can you see what's written on the board next to the word "Ted"?

B: Sorry, but I need to text a friend. It's really urgent.
A: Don't you know that mobiles have to be off during the performance?
В: I do. Why are you fussing about it so much? After all, it was you who talked me into coming here. And I really think that the play is boring. By the way, is it a drama or a comedy?
A: Shhhh! And put the mobile back in your bag!
