По­яс­не­ние. SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Hello, Chris / Christine.

Interlocutor: Hi!

Student: I'm glad you're at home. Look, I have to make a presentation but I can't use my computer at the moment. It's got some virus. Can I borrow your computer till tomorrow?

Interlocutor: Yes, you can. I don't need it tonight. What kind of presentation do you have to prepare?

Student: I need to make a PowerPoint presentation about a place of interest in Britain. I'm going to do it on London Bridge.

Interlocutor: London Bridge? Are you going to talk about the bridge or the Underground station?

Student: The bridge of course! It's one of the greatest tourist attractions in London. The bridge over the River Thames was built in 1973 and Queen Elizabeth II took part in the opening ceremony. In fact, there've been several bridges on that place. The first one was built by Romans. The current London Bridge is almost 300 metres long and it's a very busy bridge as it connects the City with Central London. It is less decorative than other bridges over the Thames but in my opinion, it's the most beautiful of all of them.

Interlocutor: Yes, I see. Have you been there yourself?

Student: No, unfortunately, not. I've never been to London, but I hope I'll see it one day.

Interlocutor: Yeah. There's a good film on, by the way. Would you like to watch it with me?

Student: Thank you, Chris / Christine, but I really have to go. I have to prepare the presentation as soon as possible. Can I have the computer, please?

Interlocutor: Yes, here it is. Good luck with the presentation.

Student: Thanks. I'll bring the computer in the morning. See you tomorrow.

Interlocutor: See you.
