1) – Ой, ты знаешь, путешествия в открытом космосе уже стали реальной возможностью! Вот что действительно можно назвать неземным отдыхом!
– А космическая болезнь? Должно быть, это стоит целое состояние! Все это, безусловно, оттолкнет людей.
– Ни в коей мере. Они уже строят первый космический отель, космические корабли многоразового использования и вообще полны энтузиазма по поводу этой затеи.
2) Моя жена приложила много усилий на то, чтобы эта вечеринка стала незабываемым опытом для всех нас. Это был выходной, полный приключений, на берегу озера Маракайбо в Венесуэле. Пейзаж не был лишен живописности: возвышающиеся крутые склоны гор, очертания древних памятников, выплывающих из тумана, изнурительный подъем, пропасть и захватывающий дух вид. Но все это стоило приложенных усилий.
3) – Пошевеливайся, Ник, а то мы опоздаем!
– Рано же еще! Ничего страшного, если мы прибудем на вокзал в последний момент!
4) Моя подруга придает большое значение понятию дружбы. Она всегда напоминает мне, что готова выслушать меня, помочь мне, если я себя плохо чувствую. И если я работаю сверхурочно, то на следующий день мы всегда стараемся выехать за город и отдохнуть хорошенько.
5) – О боже! Этот карманник украл все мои деньги и документы! Теперь мне придется сводить концы с концами до конца месяца!
– Мадам, успокойтесь! Сделайте ксерокопии билетов, свяжитесь с посольством или консульством вашей страны. Черкните несколько строчек вашим близким. Оставьте ваш мобильный телефон включенным.
