I (жду с нетерпением looking forward) to seeing you again. Fred isn't walking very fast. You'll (догонишь catch up with) him if you start at once. The wedding (состоялась took place) in spite of Jim and Mary's last-minute quarrel. The teacher (указал pointed out) some mistakes that the pupil hadn't corrected. Could you (подождать hold on) for a moment while I turn off the iron? I can't (понять make out) if it's a man or a woman over there. We have (закончился run out) petrol, I'm afraid. I tried to ring him up but I couldn't (дозвониться get through). Before I make any decision I'll need to (обсудить talk it over) it with my boss. Why don't you (примерить try on) that dress in the window? You need to (заполнить fill in/out) this customs declaration. Did you (выяснить find out) why they hadn't paid the bill? When the bomb (взорвалась went off) there were a lot of people nearby. Nick and Kelly (ссорятся fall out) every few weeks, but their quarrels never last. I didn't have a key, but luckily someone was there to (впустить меня let me in).
- Nice to meet you, Mike. I'm Duncan McKinley from Edinburgh.
- No, it isn't. Edinburgh is not very big, but it is one of the most beautiful cities in Britain. Edinburgh is known for its beautiful sceneries, historic castle, rolling hills, and incredible architecture. People who live there are very friendly and nice.
- First of all, you should visit the thousand-year-old castle, where the kings of Scotland lived for centuries. It is the heart of our city. Also I recommend you to visit Saint Giles Cathedral, Mary King's Close and Museum of Childhood.
- You can find a lot of souvenir shops on the Princes Street in the New Town.
- I suppose, in August. It is the time when our famous Military Tattoo is held at Edinburgh Castle.
- It is a kind of festival performed by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and International military bands. Their show is really exciting, and many tourists come to Edinburgh every year to see it.
