Задание 1. The Passive Voice. Переведите текст, обращая внимание на перевода the Passive Voice. (Read and translate the text paying attention to the Passive Voice.) When Diana opened her eyes in the morning it was almost 9 o’clock. She overslept, because she had not got a wink of sleep almost all night and drowsed off only at sunrise. Her mood matched the weather outside that was very depressing. She took a quick shower, dressed up, and hurried to work without breakfast. Although she had been thinking all night she didn’t make a decision what line of behavior to take. The best way was to pretend as if nothing had happened. She hoped to slip to her cubicle unnoticed but at that very moment her mobile rang and Silvia asked her to come to Mr. Robinson’s office. Diana had nothing to do, but to face the reality. When she entered the office Silvia told her that a message was left for her by Mr. Robinson who had gone to Chicago. Diana couldn’t refrain from sighing with relief when she heard the news. On her boss desk Diana found a short memo which read as follows: Please read the contract and make amendments where necessary. I’ll get in Next to it there was a printed copy of the contract. She also noticed a name with a telephone number written on the calendar. That was it. She tried to memorize the number and went quickly to her working place. She left the contract on her desk and hurried downstairs out of the building. Five minutes later she was sitting in a cafe, dialing a number.
Ответы
за твое письмо. Было замечательно прочитать о твоем новом доме.
Что касается моей новой школы, она очень большая! В ней есть три компьютерных класса и замечательные спортивные объекты. Действительно, она - прекрасное место, и я люблю учиться в ней. Дети в моем классе очень дружелюбны.
Я уже завела некоторых новых друзей и часто встречаюсь с ними после уроков.
В этом году у меня есть только один новый предмет. Это - экономика, и я начинаю в конце-концов думать, что она не трудная!
Между прочим, какими музыкальными стилями ты наслаждаешься? Есть у тебя любимые группы? Хотела бы ты сходить на их концерт? Что касается меня, я предпочитаю Radiohead. Они прикольные!
Мне надо идти сейчас.
С большой любовью,
Энн
Dear Emily,
Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear about your new house.
As for my new school it's very big! It has three computer rooms and wonderful sport facilities. Actually, it seems a nice place and I enjoy studying there. The kids in my class are very friendly.
I've already made some new friends and often meet after classes.
I've got only one new subject this year. It's Economics and I'm beginning to think that it's not difficult, after all!
By the way, what music styles do you enjoy? Have you got any favorite bands? Would you like to go to their concert? As for me, I prefer Radiohead. They are cool!
I'd better go now.
Lots of love,
Ann
