I like this because it means I can read a book or a newspaper. On the Continent, everybody wants to tell you his life story. Some years ago I travelled by train from London to Paris. It was my first visit to Paris so I made up my mind to tour round France for my holidays. As I was going on a long journey I took a lot of books with me. There was an Englishman in the compartment with me and, in a typically English way, he did not speak a word during our journey through the English countryside or while crossing the Channel. But the minute we were in France he said, “Ah, now we are in France, we can talk.” And for the rest of the trip to Paris he told me his life story.
1" Ты часто плаваешь?" " Do you often swim?" -"Нет,я не был в с мая". No, I don’t. I haven’t been in the swimming pool since May. 2 "Kак давно ты знаком с Ириной?" "How long have you known Irina?" - "О да,я знаю ее с детства." Oh, yes. I’ve known her since her childhood" 3 "Николай все еще играет в теннис по выходным?" "Has Nikolay still being played tennis on the weekends?" "Hет, он уже сто лет не играл ". Oh, no, he hasn’t played tennis for ages. 4"Какая у вас сейчас погода в Лондоне?"- What weather do you have in London now?" - "Ужасная, дождь не перестает лить до среды". "Terrible, it doesn’t stop raining till Wednesday". 5"У вас в Петербурге сейчас много снега? " Do you have a lot of snow? " -"Нет, не очень. No, not much. Снега не было уже очень давно". It hasn’t snowed for a very long time".
Put in the right words.
