LISTENING (p. 25)
Dear Jane,
It was great to hear from you. Thanks for the congratulations and good wishes. I’ll pass them to Philip
when I see him at the weekend. Of course, we are very excited about getting married, and awfully busy, too.
You ask how we met. Well, it was quite a funny story. Do you remember I failed one of my final exams?
That meant I couldn’t go on holiday with my family. But the travel agent was sorry for me and he was
able to transfer my booking. Having passed the exam, I went on this tour alone. And I met this young
man. He was on his own, too. He told me his girlfriend should have been with him but they had had a row
and she had refused to go. We were the only ones travelling alone, so we went round the sights together.
We talked a lot, too. And that was it really. We found we’d fallen in love. Wasn’t it lucky I failed the exam?
That’s how I met my future husband.
I hope you’ll come to the wedding, won’t you? It will be great. Now I must rush off and do some shopping.
Write soon.
Lots of love,
Helena

acquainted. But they knew each other as good chess-players. Antonio Gomes and Marka-da-Dilva had
never met. They played chess by writing letters and informing each other about their moves. They had
been playing chess for two years when one day Marka-da-Dilva got a telegram saying: “Congratulations,
defeated, grateful, ask you to be my wife.”
After the wedding the happy husband shared the secret of his marriage with his friends. “It was due to
Marka’s manner of playing chess that I found out what a fine person she was. Marka is clever, she has a

A gentleman was looking for an office assistant. About 50 young men applied. Soon the gentleman chose
one of them.
His friend asked him, “I’d like to know why you’ve chosen this young man. He didn’t have a single
reference.”
“You’re wrong”, answered the gentleman. “There were lots of them. When he entered the office, he wiped
his feet and closed the door. It was clear he was neat and orderly. He immediately gave his place to an
old man, displaying he was kind and respectful. He took off his hat and answered my questions with
great respect demonstrating his politeness. He picked up a book and put it on the table while the other
12
young men didn’t do that. It showed he was attentive. He was waiting for his turn quietly rather than
pushing asunder the others. That proved he was modest and tactful. When I talked to him, I saw his
clothes were neat, his hair was combed and his nails were clean. It all meant he had got good upbringing.
All those things are the best references, aren’t they? (You can’t fail to call all those things good
references, can you?) I’m sure he’ll make a loyal and reliable assistant.”

LISTENING (p. 112)
A Day in the Life of Queen Elizabeth II
From the outside it may seem that the Queen is “not doing much” – apart from travelling around the UK
and abroad from time to time.
The Queen’s day begins at eight o’clock. Usually she listens to the radio, scans the daily British
newspapers and reads the correspondence. The Queen makes sure that really every letter is answered
by the staff working in the Private Secretary’s office.
Then the plans for the day are discussed before the hard work of “doing the boxes” begins. This means
that the Queen goes through the state papers and documents which have been sent to her in “red
boxes”. She reads, approves and signs policy papers and documents.
In the afternoons, the Queen frequently goes out on public engagements. Her Majesty prepares for each
visit by informing herself about the people she will be meeting.
At about 19.30 a report of the day’s parliamentary proceedings arrives, and the Queen reads it the same
evening. On some evenings, the Queen may attend the film premiere or a concert in aid of charitable causes.
A look at the list of the engagements of the Queen makes it clear that being a Royal can be a hard and
time-consuming job. And it is a job “with a life sentence.” Cabinet Ministers can be requested to resign.
But it is only under very exceptional circumstances that a Monarch can lay down his burden.

A Сonvenience Store
A convenience store is a small store that sells items such as candy, ice-cream, soft drinks, lottery tickets,
cigarettes and other tobacco products, newspapers and magazines, along with a selection of processed
food and perhaps some groceries and hygiene products. Stores that are part of petrol stations may also
sell motor oil, washer fluid and maps. They are often located alongside busy roads, in densely-populated
urban neighbourhoods, at petrol stations or near railway or bus stations. In some countries most
convenience stores have longer shopping hours, some being open 24 hours.

Typical Opening Times
All the shops in Europe are supposed to be closed on Sunday, but nowadays it is not so: Sunday
trade is becoming very popular.
Today, most of the shops in England are known to be open 6–7 days a week.
Big supermarkets are reported to be open/to work 24 hours.
The shops are supposed to be closed during holidays. But some booths and stalls get a permission
to work at that time.
Most purchases are known to be done at the weekends.
The time before Christmas or Easter is considered to be the best time to shop/for shopping. Lots of
goods are on sale at that time.
Some shops in the rural areas of England are said to follow the old tradition – they are closed in the
afternoon on Wednesdays.

room. And then we’ll go to the sweet-shop to buy Granny’s favourite pastries.
Dora:
Oh, Mum, that’ll take ages! There are always long queues everywhere on Fridays. You go and
choose the flowers and I go and get the bread from the baker’s.
Mother: OK, then. Could you pop into the fruiterer’s and get a pine-apple for the fruit salad? It is just
next door to the baker’s.
Dora:
Sure, Mum, I’ll do anything to finish with the foods quicker and to go to the Marks and
Spencer’s. You promised, remember?
Mother: Certainly, dear. Let me see. Actually, you could pop into the greengrocer’s and get a couple
of onions and a cauliflower. And we’ll get other things we need from the supermarket. Oh,
no!
Dora:
What’s the matter?

LISTENING (p. 282)
1
A: Good morning. Midland Hotel.
B: Good morning. This is Steve Rogers from Telecom. I’m trying to arrange accommodation for a
number of visiting businessmen from abroad, and I’d like to know a little about the facilities you
have here.
A: Well, the Midland is a 3-star hotel and we are situated five minutes from the town centre.
B: Uh-huh. And are you on the main road?
A: No, we’re on a side street, and all the rooms are very quiet.
B: And what about a restaurant?
A: Well, you see, most of our guests prefer to eat out. We have only a small restaurant – but we do
serve hot food in the evening.
B: I see. And what about entertainment at the hotel? Do you put on any dances?
A: No, I’m afraid, we don’t.
B: And just a couple of final questions. Do you have either a swimming pool or a sauna?
A: No, not in the hotel. But there’s a pool with a sauna just round the corner.
B: Well, thanks a lot for the information. Bye.
A: Bye.

some foreign businessmen. I wonder if you could tell me what facilities your hotel has to offer.

countryside is very beautiful and peaceful. So we assure a quiet and restful stay.

A: Yes, we have a large restaurant which caters both for the residents and non-residents.
B: Uh-huh.
A: We also have two bars – one of which is exclusively for the residents.
B: How about evening entertainment? Any dances?
A: No, I’m afraid we don’t hold them any more. We used to, but now people prefer to go into town for
a night out.

is very convenient, you know.

All we have is a snack bar.

C: Yes, we do.
B: And what about evening entertainment?
