Jeanna: Well, I go on the computer a lot and I talk with friends through AOL instant messenger. And I just moved from my hometown to Sacremento so it’s a good way to keep in touch with old friends.
Todd: Yeah. Do you learn about computers at school or on your own?
Jeanna: I picked most of what I know, I’ve picked it up, through, ya know, the years, and some at school, like keyboarding and such.
Todd: OK. Do you have a laptop or a PC?
Jeanna: I have a PC. A Compac.
Todd: Do you like your computer or do you want a new one?
Jeanna: I want a new one cause I think I screwed mine up and it’s a little bit slow now.
Todd: OK. How long have you had your computer?
Jeanna: I’ve had it for about 3 or 4 years.
Todd: Oh, yeah, that’s pretty old for a computer. Yeah, so do you talk to your friends every night by e-mail?
Jeanna: Yeah, yes I do.
Todd: OK.
Jeanna: See going on and you know the gossip.
Todd: So nowadays, do high school kids talk by e-mail more than phone?
Jeanna: Most people talk by either e-mail or cellular phone. You know a lot of people don’t use their house phones as much, and a lot of people have cellular phones.
Todd: OK. Thanks a lot Jeanna.

Тодд: хорошо, Жанна, тебе нравится компьютер!
Жанна: да, это так.
Тодд: хорошо. Поговорите с нами о компьютерах.
Жанна: Ну, я много хожу за компьютером и общаюсь с друзьями через AOL instant messenger. И я только что переехал из своего родного города в Сакременто, так что это хороший поддерживать связь со старыми друзьями.
Тодд: Да. Вы изучаете компьютеры в школе или самостоятельно?
Жанна: я собрала большую часть того, что знаю, я собирала это на протяжении многих лет, и некоторые из них в школе, например, клавишные и тому подобное.
Тодд: хорошо. У вас есть ноутбук или ПК?
Жанна: у меня есть компьютер. В Лаборатории
Тодд: вам нравится ваш компьютер или вы хотите новый?
Жанна: я хочу новый, потому что думаю, что я испортила свой, и теперь он немного медленный.
Тодд: хорошо. Как давно у вас есть компьютер?
Жанна: у меня это было около 3 или 4 лет.
Тодд: О, да, это довольно старовато для компьютера. Да, так ты каждый вечер разговариваешь со своими друзьями по электронной почте?
For some people there is nothing so exciting as traveling, and I’m not an exception. And I’m happy that I have traveled a lot and I hope that my first journey wasn’t the last one. First I bought a ticket for plane. Many people think, that nothing can be compared with traveling by air, because it is the most comfortable, and, of course, the quickest way of moving. There is none of the dust and dirt of a railway or car journey, none of the trouble of changing from train of another to streamer and then to another train. But booking tickets in summer is a problem. The air-fare is quite expensive and not all people can afford it. Then I continued my way by the train. This kind of transport has also many advantages. With a train you have a comfort and speed combined. From a comfortable corner seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of a countryside. If you are hungry you can have a meal in the dinning-car and if the journey is long one can have a bed in a sleeper. But I believe that there is no travel so fine as by ship. It’s wonderful to feel the deck of the ship under the feet, to see the rise and fall of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in the face, hear the cry of the sea-gulls. Of course, the voyage isn’t exciting for those who are sea-sick when the sea is a little bit rough. Many people say: «Give me a walking tour any time». And it is not surprising. The walker leaves the dull, broad highway and goes along little winding lanes where cars can’t go. He takes mountain paths through the heather, he wonders by the side of quiet lakes and through the shades of woods. He sees the real country, the wild flowers, the young birds in their nests, the deer in the forest, he feels the quietness and calm of nature. And besides, you are saving a lot of money by traveling on foot. No one can deny that walking is the cheapest method of traveling.
