It’s Friday evening. Denis (is walking) in the centre of Moscow to the metro station. He (is meeting) his friend Igor, who (is going) in the same direction.
Denis — Hallo, Igor. Where are you (hurrying) to?
Igor — I (am going) to my uncle’s place. I (go) there once a month to take the money which my father (sends) me.
D. — Why doesn't your father (send) it to you?
I. — He does not (want) to send it by post, as my father and my uncle’s son (work) together in the country, so my father always (gives) him some money for me.
D. — Shall we take a bus? I (see) that you (are limping).
I. — I usually (go) by bus. But today I do not (have) any money left.
D. — Oh, usually I do not (use) public transport very much. My mother (says) that I (am getting) too fat, so I (am trying) to take more exercise. And by the way, why are you (wearing) shoes that do not (fit)?
I. — They (are) new. And the left one (is rubbing) a lot, that’s why I (am limping).
D. — You can’t walk like that. Let’s take the bus. It usually (comes) at about this time.
I. — It (is coming) now, look. But I do not (have) any money.
D. — Well, do not (worry)! I can lend you some. Come on, do not (argue). The driver (is waiting) for us.
- Yes, thank you. I'd like to have a coffee. What about you?
- I think coffee is a good idea. How would you like your coffee?
- I'll have it black.
- OK. And I'll have my coffee white. Would you like to order some dessert?
- No, thanks. You know, I'm on a diet. So, I wouldn't like to have any dessert now. Maybe you would liketo order something to go with your coffee. They serve a fantastic chocolate cake here.
- Are you sure it will be OK if I order it?
- Sure, go ahead.
- OK, I'll call the waiter now.

- Ты хотела бы что-нибудь выпить после ужина?
- Да Я бы хотела выпить кофе. А ты?
- Я думаю, кофе - это замечательная идея. Какое кофе ты бы хотела?
- Я возьму черное кофе.
- Хорошо. А я возьму кофе с молоком. Ты хотела бы заказать десерт?
- Нет Ты знаешь, я на диете. Поэтому сейчас я не хотела бы брать десерт. Возможно, ты хотел бы что-то заказать к кофе. Они здесь подают великолепный шоколадный торт.
- Ты уверена, что будет нормально, если я закажу его?
- Конечно, заказывай.
- Хорошо, я сейчас позову официанта
