work of a scientific conference, haven't you? 4 The plenary meeting is usually
followed by panel discussion, isn't it? 5 When a call for papers is received, we are to

     1 The paper presented by the speaker was not interesting, was it? 2 If I am not
mistaken the University conference was held in March, wasn't it? 3 As far as I could
gather from the text, there weren't any simultaneous sessions held during this
congress, were there? 4 To my mind the atmosphere of the conference hall didn't give
good opportunities for relaxed discussions between groups of experts. 5 There will be
a few participants from our department at the conference. 6 It's unnecessary to submit
a summary of your paper for the conference.

teaching foreign languages. And what about for the coming conference? 4 My friend
is concerned with the development of key factors defining the integration process.
And what about your friend?
