Лекция: The suitcases

Mr. Blake Let's sit in this compartment. Girls, you sit here. Simon and I'll put your suitcases on the rack. Whose is this one?

Simon That's Sheila's.

Mr. Blake Hers is heavy.

Simon Yes. She always brings a lot of things with her. She's always changing her clothes.

Mr. Blake Is this hers, too?

Simon No, that's Jane's.

Mr. Blake And where's yours?

Simon Mine's here. It's this small bag. I've only brought my swimming trunks and a few other things. I hope we'll be able to swim.

Mr. Blake Of course you will.

Simon Will we be able to swim when we get there?

Mr. Blake Yes, I think so. Although the tide'll be out, it'll be safe. You won't be able to dive off the rocks. When the tide's in, you'll be able to dive.

Simon That's all right. I like diving but I prefer swimming. When's high tide?

Mr. Blake Low tide was at about nine o'clock (9.00) this morning, so high tide'll be at about four (4.00) tomorrow afternoon.

Sports

Mr. Blake Don't the girls like swimming?

Simon Jane likes swimming. She's very good.

Mr. Blake And what about Sheila?

Simon I know she likes sunbathing.

Mr. Blake Doesn't she like swimming?

Simon I'm not sure. Girls never talk about sports.

Mr. Blake Do you like other sports, Simon?

Simon Oh yes.

Mr. Blake What do you like doing in the winter?

Simon I like skating and I love ski-ing. Ian goes ski-ing, doesn't he?

Mr. Blake Yes, he does. Although he didn't learn to ski until we went to Scotland last year, he's very good now.

Simon I didn't learn until we went to Geneva.

Mr. Blake Does either of your parents ski?

Simon No, neither of them skis but Jane does.
