morning is the time for cleaning the house, washing the car and then it is time to
go out for lunch.
I.: And what do you do after lunch?
H.: We go for a walk on the beach, or play tennis, or go for a run. Saturday
afternoon is a time to play, really. And in the evening we sometimes go to the
movie.
I.: What about Sunday?
H.: Well, on Sunday we get a lot of newspapers and we just sit in the garden
with a cup of coffee and read the newspapers.
I.: So, you relax. Oh yes, I see. What about Sunday evening?
H.: Well, Sunday evening is the time to get ready for Monday. So we usually
have an early night and maybe watch a little TV.
I.: Oh, that’s very interesting, Harry. Thank you.
Svetlana’s Weekend.
I.: Svetlana, tell me about your weekends.
S.: Well, I often have a lot of university work to do, but if I’m free what I do
depends on the time of the year. In winter we often go skiing. My family has a
house, a dacha near Moscow, and we leave on Friday and come back on
Monday morning. And we play hockey or go skating, or go fishing.
I.: What about other times of the year?
S.: In summer we go to the Black Sea and in autumn it is popular to pick
mushrooms.
I.: Really? And where do you do this?
S.: In the fields, in the woods, around the town.
I.: Are weekends a special time for you?
S.: It is not as in the west. On Saturday a lot of people work. Children are at
school, at least until 1 o’clock.
I.: Really?
S.: Yes, and most shops are open on Sunday and we do our shopping on Sunday.
I.: Oh, I see.
S.: People often have a nice meal with all their family.
I.: Do you like going to the theatre or to the cinema?
S.: Well, we watch TV, read books, have parties and visit each other.
I.: That’s interesting. Thank you very much, Svetlana.
III. IMPROVING YOUR LISTENING SKILLS
Task 12. Listen to the famous song “Yesterday” by the Beatles and learn it
by heart.
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though there’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly I’m not half the man I used to be
