- Well, what about sport? You look quite athletic... - Ты занимаешься спортом? Выглядишь подтянуто. - I used to be an obsessive tennis player, but I gave it up when I broke my ankle last year. - Я был завзятым игроком в теннис, но завязал после того, как сломал лодыжку. - Oh, I really love tennis... Tom says I'm a natural. Shall we have a game sometimes? - Я просто обожаю теннис. Том говорит я неплохо играю. Может нам поиграть как-нибудь. - Well, I'm really rusty. I'll have to get a bit of practice first. - Ну, я давно не играл. Мне нужно немного потренероваться. - Don't be silly. I'm only a novice. We'll just have a friendly game. - Не глупи. Я просто новичок. Просто дружеский матч. - O.K. See you on Monday. - Хорошо. Встретимся в понедельник. - O.K. Don't forget to bring your racket. We'll have a game after work. - Ладно. Не забудь захватить ракетку. Сыграем матч после работы.
A few years ago I was on a camping holiday in Bristol. There were lots of other girls from around the UK, but I was the only one fromScotland. The camp _was located_in the woods, not far from the river. The camp life was even more interesting than I had expected. We enjoyed all kinds of camping activities – sports and games, different shows and contests. Everything was fine apart from one incident that took me aback.Once, at lunchtime, when I was eating ice cream, one of the girls asked:“So, do you have ice cream in Scotland?” I did not know_how to react. My neighbour repeated her question.I nodded, “Yes. My answer provoked a wave of absurd questions about my country:“Have you ever seen a ghost in your castle?”“Do all Scottish men wear checked skirts?” I _found_out that some people believe silly stereotypes about Scotland. They believe that Scots really carry bagpipes in _their___bags to play the instrument on the streets, and that Scots practise magic. At last, the girls said that they__would come___ to Scotland one day to see it with their own eyes and to separate the truth from the myths.
