1) What traditions of welcoming the New Year do you have in your country? (Какие традиции встречи Нового года есть в вашей стране?)
2) Are children allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve in your country? (Разрешают ли детям в вашей стране ложиться спать поздно в новогоднюю ночь?)
3) Do you watch TV on New Year’s Eve and on New Year’s Day? (Вы смотрите телевизор в канун Нового года и на Новый год?)
4) Are there any New Year food traditions in your family? (Есть ли в вашей семье какие-либо новогодние традиции, связанные с едой?)
5) Do you always stay at home on New Year's Eve? (Вы всегда остаетесь дома в новогоднюю ночь?)
1. I don't remember switching off the TV set. I'd better go and check it.
2. The weather is very nice. Let's go for a swim. — I am not particularly good at swimming. What about going for a drive instead of bathing?
3. We stopped once to buy some food, and then we stopped again to ask the way.
4. Do you feel like dining out or would you rather have dinner at home? — I'd like to go out. I always enjoy having dinner at a restaurant.
5. I don't mind travelling by bus but I hate standing if there are a lot of people. I think it's better to go by tube.
6. Would you like to come to the conference devoted to the theatre? — No, thanks. I like seeing performances but I don't enjoy listening to people talking about it.
7. I'm delighted to hear that you can come for the weekend. We are all looking forward to seeing you.
8. The autumn is wonderful! You got used to swimming in September, so remember to bring your bathing suit.
9. I remember lending that book to you. You wanted to write a report. — Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll bring it back tonight.
10. When would you like to start off? — In a few moments. — Let's wait till it stops snowing otherwise we may get lost.
11. Do you remember meeting her at my birthday party? — Yes, certainly. Thank you for the chance to meet such a beautiful and witty girl.
12. The results are very disappointing, I regret to say. I allow you to rewrite the test. But I allow rewriting on condition everyone is present.
13. You know I meant to buy something for supper but the shop was closed. — OK. It means having sandwiches and tea for supper.
