SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Good afternoon, Mrs. Roberts. Are you still looking for participants for your drama club?

Interlocutor: Hello. Yes, I am.

Student: And what should I do to join it? Do you hold any audition or other tests of that kind? I’ve heard some students’ saying that it is necessary.

Interlocutor:  Actually, there are no special auditions. But if you are really interested in performing, come to our next lesson and I’ll give you an extract from some book to read and you will show us your artistic talents.

Student: Oh, now I see, that everything is much easier than I expected. By the way, what time do the lessons start and how long do they last? Where do they take place?

Interlocutor: The lessons are on Tuesday and Friday at 4.00 p. m. in room №308.

Student:  I would like also to clarify if I should pay for the course or it is free. You know, students pay to Mr. Johnson for sports training.

Interlocutor: Oh, no. Our course it is free of charge. I want every student to be able to join our club.

Student: It is really cool! This way I don’t need to bother my parents. And what play are you going to put on?

Interlocutor: It will be “Intrigue and Love” written by Friedrich Schiller.

Student:  I love this play even more than “Romeo and Juliet”, though the plots are very much alike. I will definitely come to the next lesson and try to do my best at this new discipline for me.

Interlocutor: Good! See you there.

Student: See you.

SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Hello, Mr. Singer, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Kate Downey, one of your assistances.

Interlocator: I’m glad to meet you, Kate.

Student: I’m sorry for bothering you, but do you have any free time to talk? It’s very important for me.

Interlocator: Of course, I just have a two-hour break. You’re welcome to speak.

Student: The biggest dream of my whole life is to become a film director. It seems that making  movies is my real vocation. I even have almost completely made up one script. But I highly need  a piece of advice how to start my career from someone knowledgeable in this sphere. Can you give me a few tips, please?

Interlocator: Well, if you ask me, there is nothing difficult to start.  The main thing I think a would-be director should have advanced imagination and also watch a lot of films with persistent pleasure.

Student: Great, this sounds exactly like me!

Interlocator: And, for example, what is your favourite film?

Student: Doubtless, it is V for Vendetta by Wachowski brothers. This work has an exciting plot, impressive special effects and original characters. To my mind, the main of them – V and Ivy were perfectly portrayed by Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman.  

Interlocator: I see you’ve got a good taste and surely have some potential. What would you say on my proposal to attend my courses for would-be directors free?

Student: Definitely I would love to! Thanks a lot for you help, this encouraged me considerably.

Interlocator: Never mind, Kate!

Student: See you!

Interlocator: Bye!

SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Hello, Ann!

Interlocutor: Hello!

Student: How was your European tour with class? Did you catch the good weather? By the way, which countries did you visit?

Interlocutor: Oh, I enjoy it very much. We were in France, England, Italy and Spain. And to my surprise, the weather was really good, in spite of unsuitable season. But what about your health, how do you feel now?

Student: I’m much better now. It’s such a pity that I couldn’t go with you. It was our dream to visit Paris. But I hope you weren’t bored.

Interlocutor: I see. How was your holiday? I heard that the weather was awful. So what did you do?

Student: Yes, you are right. The weather was really awful. Anyway it wasn’t a big problem. I had a lot of fun during the holidays. I went skiing with my parents. And I can say that it was the best event I’ve ever had. Also I had some indoor activities, films, parties.

Interlocutor: Oh, that’s great.

Student: So I think we should meet somewhere tomorrow. I want to chatter with you. If you’re not busy, where can we meet?

Interlocutor: Well, yes, I will be free at 3 pm tomorrow. So we can meet at the café near your house. Will it be ok?

Student: Fine. I’ll be waiting for you. It’s time to go. See you soon.

Interlocutor: See you.

• Answer the other questions, if any
• Answer your friend’s question about your personal secret how to stay energetic all day long
• Suggest going for a jog in the mornings together; accept any place your friend suggests.

You begin the conversation. The examiner will play the part of your friend.

Remember to

 1. Mention all the four aspects of the task

 2. Be active and polite

Interlocutor card

You play the part of an old friend. Your name is Neil/Nora. You don’t pay any attention to a healthy way of life. You think that it is far more important to think about studying for a teenager. Nevertheless, you are an open-minded person and your friend has a chance to make you change your point of view.

• Answer the question about your thoughts about keeping fit
• Find out what your friend is doing to keep fit and what is his/her motivation
• Ask about your friend’s secret of staying energetic all day long
• Accept the invitation of going  jogging together as you want to have new experience.

Skills to be tested:

The student is expected to demonstrate his/her ability to:

• ask for information
• provide the information required
• make invitations
• maintain and conclude the conversation
• be active and polite

Student: Hello, Neil/Nora!

Interlocutor: Hello!

St.: Haven’t seen you for ages! I’m so glad we met at last!

Int.: So am I! Wow, you look gorgeous! It seems that you’ve taken up sport professionally. Am I right?

St.: Oh yeah, I’m a real sport fan now. I just love it and devote all my spare time to it. Especially it refers to jogging and swimming.  And you?  Do you go in for sports?

Int.: No. Frankly speaking, I love neither sport nor healthy food.

St.: Why? Don’t you have enough time?

Int.: I wouldn’t say so. I just think it’s not necessary for me now, you know. I’m a teenager, so, do I really have to worry about my health? I guess I will have a chance some day. And what exactly do you do? And why?

St.: Well, the most important thing I do is keeping a healthy diet. The right proportion of proteins, fat and carbohydrates in your organism ensure its proper work. I feel that without harmful sugar and different additives I’m becoming stronger and stronger day by day. Then, as I’ve already said, I love jogging and swimming. 4 or 5 times a week is enough to both keep fit and not be exhausted, I guess. As for my motivation, my main goal is to have a strong and nice body.

Int.: Sounds great. And is this enough to stay energetic? What’s your secret?

St.: Actually, in order to feel good all day long it’s very important to sleep at least 8 hours a day. As for me, I go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 7. Then a very good idea is to take an invigorating shower in the morning – it lets me feel full of energy till evening. So, you see, the secret is very simple.

Int.: Oh yes.

St.: I’ve got an idea! Wouldn’t you like to go jogging with me in the mornings? I think it would be fun and healthy at the same time.

Int.: I’d like to! There’s a nice park nearby. Is it suitable?

St.: Yes, it appeals to me too. Well, I have to go now. See you tomorrow at 7:30 near the entrance!

Int.: See you.

SAMPLE CINVERSATION

Student: Hello, Jane!

Interlocutor: Hi!  It seems that you look quiet puzzled.

Student: Well, the problem is that I cannot choose a country which is worth visiting. By the way, I know that you are a real traveller. So, what country do you like most?

Interlocutor: Okay, before I start looking for a country for you, I need to know which type if holiday is preferable. For example, camping holiday, beach holiday or city break holiday.

Student: Right you are, I need an active rest. It means I like the opportunity to walk on foot, surrounding by the nature.

Interlocutor: Oh, I can say for sure now, that Norway is exactly what you need! A trip to the country of fjords includes walking on foot along the shores, climbing the highest points, staying for a night at traditional houses of Norway, and, of course, eating the freshest fish. How can you resist it?

Student: Wow! What a great idea. By the way, I had an impression, that I should be well-equipped, should not I?

Interlocutor: Of course! It is one of the necessary things, you know. First of all, take warm casual clothes and don’t forget about an umbrella, remember that Norway is the country of rains. And of course, such things as a rucksack, sunglasses and a cap

Student:  Oh. This way, I am going to prepare soon!

Interlocutor: By the way, don’t you want to go to the travel agency first?  It will be useful and profitable to learn about discounts and special seasonal bonuses. I will be glad to join you!

Student: Right you are! I didn’t even think about it!

Interlocutor: Great! Let’s meet me at 5 p.m near a travel agency entrance! But now, I need to leave

Student: See you!

Student: Hi, Jack/Jane! How is life?

Interlocutor: Everything is ok. And how are you?

Student: I’m fine. By the way, recently my teacher has asked me to make a project about global problems of modern life. I have been thinking about it for 2 days but I can’t imagine what I should do. It has just occurred to me that you went to the lecture last week where you had an opportunity to study this issue in detail so it would be very nice if could you help me with my project.

Interlocutor: Yes, I’m really fond of this actual issue and I visit such lectures almost every week. I can help you and we may work on this project together if you want.

Student: That’s great. Thank you. As far as you know there are a lot of problems of modern life. What questions have you studied?

Interlocutor: Our last lecture was devoted to problems of the younger generation especially drugs, smoking, alcohol and theft. But what kind of problems would you like to consider?

Student: Frankly speaking I’ve always been interested in problems of the younger generation. It’s a very common and actual issue and it seems to me that it isn’t boring as, for example, environmental problems.

Interlocutor: Ok. I am sure that your teacher will be delighted with our project. But when do you need to finish the project? We should work hard if we have little time.

Student: Oh, don’t worry. We have almost 2 months to finish it so we don’t need to hurry. Moreover, we have time to consider some variants of embodiment of our good idea. How about going to the next lecture together? Do you have any plans?

Interlocutor: Great idea, I don’t have any plans for the next week. Will it be ok if we go to the lecture on Friday?

Student: Surely. Thank you for your help. Now I have to be off. See you soon.

Interlocutor: Bye.

SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Excuse me, couldn`t you help me?

Interlocutor: Surely. What’s the matter?

Student: I`m a Russian tourist and I have come here on my own. Can you tell me what the main tourist attractions in your country are and what I can visit?

Interlocutor: I have been living here for 40 years, so of course I know what to suggest. The first is river rafting.

Student: Well, I`ve heard about the famous New Zealand mountain rivers, but unfortunately it is not definitely not my variant, as I`m not a fan of extreme sport, though I like water.

Interlocutor: In this case I can offer you diving.

Student: I guess, that the Pacific seabed is unbelievably charming, but sorry to say I have some problems with the health of my lungs, so I don`t think I can go in for such sport.

Interlocutor: Maybe you`ve heard something about zorbing, a motherland of which is New Zealand.

Student: Oh yeah! How could I forget about it? It`s really one of my dreams to roll down the truly legendary picturesque hills of your country in such an unusual device. This variant sounds very interesting, but if you can remember anything else, it would be great.

Interlocutor: Yes, I still have one option left. It`s an excursion to the volcanic plateau.

Student: Certainly, volcanoes are an unforgettable spectacle, but frankly speaking I`m a real coward for such shows.

Interlocutor: Well, what do you choose after all?

Student: It seems to me that my choice is obvious: I`ll go zorbing. I just believe that being to this wonderful country is a great chance to try this new experience.

Interlocutor: I wish you like it!

Student: Thank you very much! Your knowledge was very useful.

Interlocutor: Not at all! Enjoy New Zealand!

Student: Thanks! Goodbye!

Interlocutor: Goodbye!

SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Hello, Julie!

Interlocutor: Hello!

Student: I know that you have been studying in Washington for four years. How do you like the atmosphere and the town in general?

Interlocutor: Washington is beautiful at any time, I dare say. It is so different from other American cities in many aspects and has its peculiarities. It is so interestingly designed, to begin with. Secondly, there are a lot museums and historical places; you won’t be bored with this town! And how are yours first impressions?

Student: I like the atmosphere and the mild climate there. Besides, it is really beautiful and despite the fact that Washington is not as big as New York, it is really tidy.  And as to the places of visit, it is exactly what I need to know from you! What sights can you suggest visiting?

Interlocutor: When I first arrived here, I was amazed what an imposing and stately building the Capitol is! The White House impresses me every time, when I go there. I was impressed more by the Library of Congress. It is known to be the world's largest library. Then see the Mall. I was struck by the disparity of London's Pall Mall and the Washington's Mall. In contrast to Pall Mall, which is a busy shopping street, the Mall appears to be a long park like area, planted with trees, broad and quiet, extending from the Capitol to the Potomac River. The National Gallery of Art, the National Air and Space Museum have outstanding collections of art and sculpture. The Pencil is a stunning sculpture, because of its height. All this places are worth visiting!

Student: Oh, it is such detailed information! Thanks a lot for your opinion and suggestion; I guess they will be useful to me. But I think, I need to thank you another way. How about going to café tonight?

Interlocutor: Ok, I don’t have any plans. Will it be ok if we meet near the Mall at about 6 pm?

Student: All right, I am looking forward to our meeting. See you there.

Interlocutor: Ok, see you.
