Victor. – But look at you watch. It’s a quarter to twelve. It’s time to go to bed.
Nick. – Never mind. Tomorrow is Sunday. It’s our day-off.
Dialogue 2.
– Hello, Nick! Did you have a good day?
– Not bad! The usual sort of thing. Practical classes, lectures. You know.
– Did you try to take your English exam ahead of time?
– Well, I did. But the teacher advised me to get ready for English better.
– I see.
– After classes I went to the reading-room. It took me an hour to make an abstract of the paper recommended by our teacher of physics. And then Kate turned up. As usual.
– So, what did you do?
– We had a long talk.
– Oh, yes. What about?
– Oh, this and that. Things. You know. Then we had a lunch.
– Where did you go? Somewhere nice?
– No, just the cafe round the corner. Then I returned to the University and stayed at the reading-room till 17 (5 p.m.)
– Sounds like a boring day.
– I don’t think so. There is a very good proverb: «Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.»
– I think you are right.
Dialogue 3.
– Pete, you look so tired. You don’t feel well, do you?
– It’s not that. I am really tired. I am going to take my last exam. It’s English.
– Then you have a lot of work to do!
– Sure. I’ve got a small cassette-player and I listen to different texts and dialogues. I read and translate special texts and retell them. I also pay much attention to topics.
– Excuse my curiosity, what mark would you like to have in English?
– You’d better ask me what mark I don’t want to have.
– I know you have been fond of English since your childhood.
– It goes without saying that English is my favourite subject and I don’t want to have «sat» in my credit test book.
– How long does your working day last now?
– From morning till late at night.
– If you go to bed very late, I think it’s very difficult for you to get up early.
– I’m not an early riser, so I get up at 8. I am sorry I must be going. Time presses.
– Good-bye. But don’t forget to have a short rest after hard work. I wish you luck.
– Thank you. See you soon.
