Listen to the following dialogues and read them in pairs.
Dialogue 1
Liliya Galiya, have you seen the
latest play at Russian Drama Theater?
Galiya Yes, I found it fantastic! What do you think of it?
Liliya I liked the gist but I thought there would be the main staff playing.
Galiya Ah, yes, they had to change the main actors because the actress was ill.
Liliya And also my place was so far from the stage that I could
hardly hear.
Galiya Oh, I am sorry!
Dialogue 2
Radmir Shall we go to the movies?
Gulnaz What’s on in Rodina?
Radmir “Blind dating” – it’s a comedy, “The Reaping” – it’s a thriller and horror film and “Last Legion” – that’s an action movie and adventures!
Gulnaz I think we’d better go to “Last Legion” – it is also a historical film, I have read about it in one movie magazine.
Radmir Great! I am sure you’ll like it!
Dialogue 3
Aliya Hi, Rustam!
Rustam Oh, Aliya, I was just going to call you.
Aliya The weather is wonderful today, let’s go to the park! I love trees in autumn!
Rustam What a good idea! We can have a picnic there, too.
Aliya Cool! I haven’t had picnics for ages! I’ll bring sandwiches.
Rustam And I will buy drinks. Why not go to the disco in the night?
