1. My head is killing me! If only the children stopped yelling! 2. I wish John had listened to my advice. 3. I wish you had paid more attention to your teacher's instructions yesterday. 4. If only we had attended the performance of Romeo and Juliet yesterday. 5. I wish I knew how to cook. 6. If only you were here, Mum! 7. She wishes she could come, but unfortunately she's very busy at the moment. 8. If only people did not throw their rubbish in the streets. 9. I wish the boss explained exactly what he wants me to do every day. 10. I wish you helped me with the housework more often. 11. I wish they studied more. 12. If only I had not forgotten to post that letter.
Rossimport (is going) to buy air-conditioning systems for some restaurants in Sochi. They (have contacted) Tanaka Electronics, a Japanese company which (deals in) in this equipment. Today Mr Cone who (works) in the Moscow office of the company (is having talks) with the Export Manager of Rossimport Mr Petrov. Petrov: Mr Cone, we (have studied) your latest catalogues. The air-conditioning system which you (launched) to the market in December (meets) our requirements. We’d like to place an order with your company. Cone: How many systems do you (want) to buy? Petrov: 10 systems. If they (operate) well in our climate and we (have) no problems with them we (shall place) more orders later. Cone: Fine. When do you (need) the equipment? Petrov: The sooner — the better. The summer season on the coast of the Black Sea (starts) in April. Cone: We can’t promise you immediate delivery now. But I (will contact) our people in Osaka today and (talk it over) with them. I hope we (shall have completed) the delivery by the end of March.
