Текст №1

Petrov, head of the Russian delegation, and his colleagues were invited to India to give recommendations on the construction site for a new plant. All the arrangements for their trip were made by the customers. They booked first-class tickets on the 8 o’clock express. It was a very convenient train. Their compartment was air-conditioned and the experts enjoyed the trip. On the way they read illustrated magazines and newspapers, talked and looked out of the window of their carriage. The Russian experts were met by the chief engineer and taken to the local hotel.

The next day the Russian experts saw the construction site and had talks all day long. In the evening they were invited to a restaurant. When they came to the restaurant the waiter showed them to the table. They looked at the menu, chose the dishes and the waiter took their order. The dinner was wonderful and everybody was pleased with it. The customer’s representative paid the bill and they left the restaurant.
