SPEAKING

DIALOGUE 1

An interview

Robert: Excuse me; are you the Russian students who’ve been visiting England?

Boris: Yes, that’s right!

Robert: I’m a reporter from the “Mirror”. I’d like you to tell me something about

your visit. Were you invited by the National Union of Students, the biggest

students’ organization of Great Britain?

Boris: Yes, we were.

Robert: How long have you been here?

Boris: Since last Monday.

Robert: And what have you seen during your visit?

Boris: Oh, we’ve been to so many places, I really don’t know where to begin. First, we visited Cambridge, then Oxford and Stratford- on-Avon – the town where Shakespeare was born.

Robert: It’s a pity you’ve had such bad weather.

Boris: Well, we expected rain when we came to England and we are sorry we had no fog.

Robert: You’ll have to come again one winter, if you want to see a real London fog. Well, what did you like best in England?

Boris: Oh, the Jodrell Bank telescope, one of the biggest radio-telescopes in the world. I am studying astronomy, you see.

Robert: Now, may I ask you what you disliked most?

Boris: But really, we enjoyed everything.

Robert: Nonsense! There must be something you don’t like. Apart from the weather, of course.

Boris: There was just one thing, you know. They woke us every morning at seven with a horribly strong cup of tea with milk.

Robert: I am glad it wasn’t anything worse.

Boris: The train will be leaving in a moment. I’m afraid we have to say good-buy.
