Диалог на тему подготовка к экзамену на английском

По-английски

Перевод на русский

Diana: Catherine, when is your last term exam? Диана: Кэтрин, когда у тебя последний экзамен за этот семестр? Catherine: On the 2nd of June. And yours? Кэтрин: Второго июня. А у тебя? Diana: Mine is on the 5th of June. Диана: У меня пятого июня. Catherine: That’s great! We can then go to the seaside, right? Кэтрин: Здорово! После этого мы сможем поехать на морское побережье, правильно? Diana: Yes, but there is one exam which I couldn’t pass, so I’ll have to retry at the end of this month. Диана: Да, но есть один экзамен, который мне не удалось сдать, поэтому я буду пересдавать его в конце этого месяца. Catherine: In which subject, I wonder? Кэтрин: По какому предмету, интересно? Diana: In Psychology. This year we had many teachers changing, so it was quite difficult to learn something valuable. Диана: По психологии. В этом году у нас часто менялись учителя, и было сложно усвоить что-то полезное. Catherine: It’s a pity! I was in the same situation two years ago. But my problem was German. We had several different teachers during the year, so it was hard to keep up with the pace. I’m sure you’ll be fine. We’ll just have to plan our holiday for July. Кэтрин: Жаль! Я была в такой же ситуации два года назад. Но моя проблема была связана с немецким языком. У нас тоже было несколько учителей за год, поэтому было сложно идти в ногу с программой. Я уверена, что у тебя все получится. Нам просто нужно будет планировать отдых на июль. Diana: Yes, sorry I can’t make it earlier. It all depends on the results of this exam. Диана: Да, прости, я не смогу раньше. Все зависит от моих результатов по этому экзамену. Catherine: How did your Literature exam go? Was it easy to pass? As far as I know, Ms. Adams is rather strict. Кэтрин: Как прошел твой экзамен по литературе? Было ли его легко сдать? Насколько я знаю, мисс Адамс довольно строгая. Diana: Indeed, she is. It wasn’t easy, but I simply love Literature, so I knew all the answers in advance. I passed it with merit, of course. However, Ms. Adams tried to ask some additional and uneasy questions. Диана: Да, она такая. Было нелегко, но я просто обожаю литературу, поэтому знаю все ответы наперед. Я, конечно же, сдала на отлично. Однако мисс Адамс пыталась задавать мне дополнительные, нелегкие вопросы. Catherine: Glad to hear it. How about History? Кэтрин: Рада слышать. Как насчет истории? Diana: It went well, I’d say even easy. Mr. Brian is a lovely person. Even if I answered only one question out of two given, he’d be satisfied. Диана: Все прошло нормально, даже легко. Мистер Брайан — милый человек. Если бы я даже ответила только на один вопрос из двух заданных, он был бы доволен. Catherine: Yes, I know he is rather kind. Well, my last exam will be in the format of testing. I must say I don’t like tests, as they can be tricky at times. Кэтрин: Да, я знаю, он довольно добрый. Итак, мой последний экзамен будет в формате тестирования. Должна сказать, я совсем не люблю тесты, так как они могут быть временами сложными. Diana: What do you mean? Диана: Что ты имеешь в виду? Catherine: I mean there were cases when I knew the right answer, but accidentally chose the wrong one. While at the oral exams you can say something, explain your views or quickly correct the wrong answer, during the tests there is no way to correct the mistakes. Computer then checks the number of your correct and incorrect answers and nothing can be changed. Кэтрин: Я имею в виду, что бывали случаи, когда я знала правильный ответ, но случайно выбирала неверный. Если во время устного экзамена можно что-то сказать, объяснить свои взгляды или быстро скорректировать неверный ответ, то во время тестов не бывает возможности исправить ошибки. Компьютер подсчитывает количество твоих верных и неверных ответов, и ты ничего не можешь изменить. Diana: I see. Yes, tests should be done precisely, otherwise it’s hard to get good results. Диана: Понятно. Да, тесты должны выполняться в точности, иначе сложно добиться хорошего результата. Catherine: Have you passed any tests this year? Кэтрин: Ты сдавала какие-либо тесты в этом году? Diana: Not during the term exams, but during the academic year we had some. Диана: Не во время сессии, но в течение академического года у нас было несколько. Catherine: Do you mean all your term exams were oral? Кэтрин: Ты имеешь в виду, что все экзамены во время сессии были устными? Diana: Almost. There was only one written exam in Economics. It was like a test, but with the opportunity to express your own opinion. Диана: Почти. Был только один письменный экзамен по экономике. Он был похож на тест, но с возможностью выразить свое мнение. Catherine: Ah, I see. We also had this exam. It wasn’t as difficult as it seemd to be. So, when are we going to head towards the seaside? Кэтрин: Ага, я поняла. У нас тоже был этот экзамен. Он не был таким сложным, каким казался. Так когда же мы отправимся в сторону побережья? Diana: As we agreed, in July. Let’s just hope that our last and unfinished exams will be passed successfully. Диана: Как и договаривались, в июле. Просто будем надеяться, что наши последние и незавершенные экзамены будут сданы успешно. Catherine: In that case, we can be free for the rest of the summer. Кэтрин: Тогда мы сможем быть свободны на все оставшееся лето.

4. I’m trying to write an article for our school magazine.
   
5. What is your article about?

9. Really? Then, why not starting with a title “Recycling Instead of Burying”? Something like that. Use it as your main idea.
   
10. That’s great! I’ll describe the American idea of a quality environment and how recycling waste products helps them to fulfill it.
    
11. Another thing to remember is to mention the old practice of burying trash in the ground.

13. Because the city is very green and you can hardly find a park, a square or an open area in Washington without a monument or a memorial.
    
14. That’s great! Did you take any pictures of your voyage?
    
15. A lot. Come to me at the weekend and I’ll show you them.

Билет № 12  Диалог «НУЖНО ЛИ УЧИТЬ АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЯЗЫК НА КУРСАХ?»

1. Hello Masha! Nice to see you again.
   
2. Hello, Dasha. Me too. I’ve heard that you’re going to take English-studying courses. What for?
   
3. Yes, it’s true. I’d like to improve my English because I need more speaking and writing practice.
   
4. Are you kidding? You have already been studying it at school for five years. Isn’t it enough for speaking it quite well?
   
5. I think, it isn’t. I have some knowledge of English grammar, I know quite a lot of words. It’s time for me to master my English. It will take me three months at least.
   
6. What? Three months? Why should you make so much efforts and waste your time while you can use different computer translators?
   
7. You are wrong, it’s not a waste of time at all. I admit it’s a hard work, but I’ll be able to talk with native speakers after all.
   
8. So, why not address to a qualified interpreter? There are a lot of agencies that can offer you a proper help.
   
9. Yes, of course. But I prefer to speak English myself, than to wait for someone’s help. My dream is to visit many countries of the world and meet different people. English is a world language.
   
10. Anyway, my strong belief is that you can easily do it without much studying.
    
11. Maybe. But I’ll need English for my future job too. English today is absolutely necessary for every good specialist.
    
12. So, you have already made your choice of a career, haven’t you?
    
13. Not yet. I’m just getting ready for it.

6. And what about your future profession? Aren’t you going to enter a university after school?
   
7. Yes, of course. First of all I’m going to study medicine. I think I will follow my mother’s footsteps and become a children’s doctor.
   
8. You shouldn’t say so. You seem to have a talent for music.
   
9. Well, that’s only a hobby. When I graduate from Medical School I’d like to get an interesting and respected job. Then I’ll marry and have a family. That’s my success in life. And what about you?

Ты выглядишь усталой. — I say, the problem is I have to get up very early these days and as you know I’m not an early riser. I can’t awake at 6 a.m. by myself, so I set my alarm clock and get nervous all night. — Проблема в том, что я вынуждена вставать рано в эти дниа, как ты знаешь, я не ранняя пташка. — Have you changed your job? I remember you didn’t have to get up at such an early hour of the morning. — Ты сменила работу? Насколько я помню, тебе не нужно было вставать так рано. — Oh, no, certainly, not.

Я до сих пор учусь по четыре часа каждый вечер. — I know. It’s funny, but it seems like only yesterday that we were children. Now here I am, an undergraduate at university, and next year you will be too. — Я знаю. Это забавно, но кажеться еще вчера мы были детьми.

It helps me to understand English. But I want to speak English too. — Конечно. Это помогает мне понимать английскую речь. Но я хочу и разговаривать на английском. — Then you must speak English with your friends all the time. It’s the best way to master the language . — Ну тогда ты должен постоянно разговаривать на английском со своими друзьями. Это лучший способ. — You are quite right. Thank you, I’ll follow your advice. — Ты наверное прав. Спасибо. Я последую твоему совету. 9 — John, listen, why don’t you relax tonight.

I’ve got to study for an exam. — Я не могу. Мне нужно готовиться к экзамену. — What exam are you taking? — О каком экзамене ты говоришь? — It’s one of the most important problems now — the law history. — Один из самых сложных — история законодательства. — Oh, I remember it. This exam isn’t really very easy. But you don’t have to worry. Nobody ever fails. — Да, я помню это. Это экзамен действительно не так просто сдать. Но тебе не следует беспокоиться, двойки еще никому не ставили. — Well, I’m in real trouble if I don’t pass. — Если я не сдам у меня будут реальные проблемы. — I hear you’ve made a very good report on the subject and you were given a good mark. Is it really so? — Я слышал ты подготовил хороший доклад по предмету и получил хороршую отметку? — Yea, but… — Да, но… — John, pull yourself together and everything will be O.K. Good luck. — Джон, соберись, и все будет в порядке. Удачи. — Thanks. — Спасибо.
