Unit 1

1. If the boy were hungry, I should give him something eat. If the supper
were ready, we should sit down to the table. If I got a good mark for my
composition, I should be happy. If Mary had more free time, she would
read more. If the weather changed, we should go boating. If I had no
opportunity to see him, I should be very sorry. If it didn't rain, I wouldn't
have to take my umbrella with me. If she finished everything on Friday,
she wouldn't have to work on Saturday. If you caught a cold, you should
have to stay at home. If the child didn't do what I tell him, I should have
to punish him.
2. 1.If I were late for my lesson, I should be sorry. 2. If I had a holiday
in winter, I would go to my friends. 3. If I arranged a party, I would
invite my sister and my friends. 4. If I walked home from the Uni, it
would take me about two hours. 5. I would prefer to go to the Art
Theatre. 6. If it were spring now, I should be happy. 7. Yes, I would. 8.I
would like to see "Little Women".
3.The students liked the idea of working in the lab twice a week. We
liked the idea of visiting our sick friend. The children liked the idea of
going on an excursion. We disliked the idea of staying indoors all day
long. Don't you like the idea of going to the theatre tonight? All of us
liked the idea of arranging a party at our Uni. Is there anyone dislike the
idea of spending the holidays in the holiday camp? We liked the idea of
going to the cinema after the lessons.
4. If I weren't tired, I would walk around the city. We wouldn't go to the
show, if it weren't the first night. If I didn't live so far, I would visit you
more often. If he spoke louder, the public would listen him with interest.
If she had a bad memory, she wouldn't remember so many figures at
time. I would liked the idea of going to the Crimea, if it weren't so hot
there now. All of us liked the idea of meeting at the beginning of school
year.

9. a) Can you remember your first day at school? It was probably rather
confusing. I am sure you ran after your mother thinking she was
deserting you. When the child goes to school on his first day, he has to
watch his mother leaving. The teacher must convince him that at the end
of the day his mother and his home will still be there. It is difficult to
make the newcomer join in a game or a walk. A new life, completely
different from what he is used to begins.
The mothers are as upset as their children. They hand on with their eyes
fixed on their children are dislike leaving them to their fate.
The best way to deal with the situation is to get the child used to the idea
of school, to help him in every way. Much depends on their parents. At
the beginning of the term the mother should take her child to see the
teacher and to look around the school. The first day should be something
to look forward to and not to be feared.
11. It's impolite to stare at people like that. A big crowd stood on the
pavement staring at a broken car. No wonder people stand gazing at this
picture for hours: it's beautiful. The little boys stood staring at each other
ready to start a fight. Look at her: again she is gazing out of the window
with that strange expressions of hers. When I stared at her eyes I guessed
that she had cried. The Greek myth runs that Narcissus gazed at his own
reflection in the water until he fell in love with it. He stood staring
around as if he tried to impress on his memory everything he saw.
12. a) The weather seems quite warm though it's only 5C above zero.
The children look tired but they seem greatly pleased with the trip, don't
they? The host and the hostess look a bit old-fashioned, but they seem to
be hospitable and friendly. She seems to be very light-minded, but she
only looks it, in fact she is a very serious and hard-working student. My
brother says that people usually look what they are and I believe that
people are very often quite different from what they seem to be.
b) The teacher tried to explain the rule in a another way and I understood
it at once. The schoolboy returned the book he had read and asked for
another book, but of a different kind, he said, as he wanted to have a rest
from detective stories. I asked for a pair of shoes of a different kind, but
the shop-girl said that the rest of the shoes were not my size.
c) A small stream runs along the road. These steppes stretch to the South
for miles and miles. The path ran across the field for a mile and then was
lost in the forest. No matter how hard I looked I saw only a vast plain
stretching before me. The ugly scar ran right across the man's left cheek.
For how many kilometers does this forest stretch?
d) I like to sleep on a camp-bed, I find it very comfortable. I believe
Friday the only convenient day for our meeting, we have only four
lectures on that day. Though the flat was rather comfortable, warm, light
and cosy, it was not convenient for our works as it was rather small.
These shoes are very comfortable for wear in wet weather as they have
rubber soles.
e) The two streams join at the foot of the mountain. United we stand,
divided we fall. One by one the children joined in the game. The
partisans' detachment joined the regular army and the enemy lost the
battle against their united forces. All peace-loving people should unite in
their struggle against a new year. Won't you join me in a walk?
14. Он оглядел комнату и увидел шкатулку с драгоценностями,
которая была небрежно оставлена открытой на столе. Любопытной
оказалась разница между ее напряженным ожиданием
предыдущего дня и ее нынешним безразличием. Объединивших мы
выстоим, разделивших мы падем. Мой отец напоминал мне, что я
полностью зависел от него. Многие люди, с которыми он
встречался, принадлежали к иному миру, возможно, вызывая в нем
восхищение и зависть. Я всегда действую под влиянием момента - к
моему собственному неудобству и неудобству других людей. Ему
было некомфортно изменять свои планы и придумать что-то новое.
Он был зол на Нору, потому что она не оставила эту ситуацию в
покое.
