сегодня не сделал домашнее задание. Что случилось? Ты учишься в
колледже? Тебе нравится? Да, очень. Чем я могу вам помочь? Вам что-
нибудь еще нужно? Нет, это все, спасибо.
Level 2.
Кем ты работаешь? Я студент. В каком учебном заведении ты учишься?
Что ты изучаешь? Моя специальность – английский. Не удивительно.
Приятно снова тебя увидеть. Как дела? Семестр почти закончен. У меня
всю неделю были экзамены. После того, как я окончу университет, я
постараюсь найти работу. Ты знаешь, где бы ты хотел(-а) работать? Пока
нет. Я хочу быть переводчиком с английского. Не волнуйся об этом? Куда
ты сейчас идешь? Я иду учить. Завтра я должен сдавать экзамен. Удачи.
Level 3.
Что ты здесь делаешь? Я жду подругу (друга). Неужели? В августе я
получаю степень бакалавра. Затем мне нужно начинать искать работу. Это
было непросто. У тебя есть предложения по работе? Я разослал резюме, но
получил не много ответов. Сейчас довольно сложно найти работу. Я
думаю, инженерам проще найти работу. Я не уверен(-а), что это так. На
самом деле это не важно. Вам понадобится работа на полный день или с
частичной занятостью? Я хочу работать неполный день. А я получил
(право на) стипендию на четыре года.

Diane: Yes. If everything goes alright, I'll be getting my bachelors
degree in August. Then I need to start looking for a job.

13
 Tim: I had to do that last year. It wasn't easy. Do you have any job
offers?
Diane: No, not yet. I sent out a lot of resumes, but I didn't receive many
responses. It's pretty hard to find a job right now.
Tim: What's your major?
Diane: Psychology.
Tim: That was my major when I started college, but I switched to
engineering after the first year.
Diane: I think it's easier for engineers to find a job.
Tim: I'm not sure about that. It took me about 3 months to find a job.
I finally was able to get a job after I put my resume on one of
those job websites.
Diane: Anyway, it really doesn't matter. If I can't find a job I'll
probably go back to school to get my Masters degree.

* Bachelors degree – степень бакалавра

* Masters degree – степень магистра

Dialogue 9. Your English is so good. (Level 3)

Sara: Thomas your English is so good. How did you learn it?
Thomas: Well, in my country everyone has to take English starting in
the first grade. I've been taking English courses for 12 years
now.
Sara: Wow, that's interesting. I remember when we took that trip
last year and visited your family. It seemed like there weren't
many people that could speak with me in English.
Thomas: Oh, that's because they don't speak English that much.
Sara: But they speak it in school, right? Maybe they just didn't like
me so they didn't want to talk to me.
Thomas: No, actually they liked you a lot. They told me they thought
you were very nice. They are just shy. They're not used to
talking with foreigners. I remember when I first came to the
U.S. I was really nervous about speaking with people.
Sara: I see. I thought there were lots of Americans teaching English
in your country.
Thomas: Yes, that's true. There are probably twice as many now as
there were five years ago, but they are mostly in the cities. My
family lives in the country.
Sara: I wonder why. Personally I prefer the country to the city. It's
so quiet and peaceful. If I were to teach, I would want to teach
in the country.
Thomas: Do you think you would want to teach someday? I know the
schools around my town are looking for teachers, so if you

14
 want I can call them and get more information.
Sara: No, I don't think so. I would need to stay there for a year, and
I don't think I can take that much time off work.
Thomas: Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I think you
would be a really great teacher.

* grade – класс
* to be used to Ving – иметь привычку (привык) что-то

Student: I want to work in a restaurant.
Clerk: Fine! Will you need part-time or full-time work?
Student: I want to work part-time.
Clerk: Fine, the two best ways are to use our local listings binders
over there or you can use the computers with the Internet job
listing sites. See them over there?
Student: Yes, I know what to do.
Clerk: Well, in addition, you can schedule an appointment with a
job counselor on this list. If you would like to do that, sign
here, OK?
Student: Yes, I think that would be great.
Clerk: Fine, well the job search tools are all here for you to use.
Feel free to look around and use what works best for you.
Have fun with it!

by.

anything to drink? I have Sprite or orange juice.
Dave: Sprite would be fine. Uh, so, how have you been?
Maria: Oh, not bad. And you?
Dave: Oh, I’m doing okay, but school has been really hectic these
days, and I haven’t had time to relax.
Maria: By the way, what’s your major anyway?

15
 Dave: Hotel management.
Maria: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate?
Dave: Uh… I haven’t decided for sure, but I think I’d like to work
for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?
Maria: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in
French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job
using the language, so I changed majors to computer
science. [Oh]. With the right skills, landing a job in the
computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult
Dave: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through
school?
Maria: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic
scholarship [Wow] that pays for all of my tuition and
books.
Dave: Wow. That’s great.
Maria: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through
school?
Dave: Yeah. I work three times a week at a restaurant near
campus.
Maria: Oh. What do you do there?
Dave: I’m a cook.
Maria: How do you like your job?
Dave: It’s okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn’t
bad.
