SAMPLE CONVERSATION

Student: Hi, Martine / Michelle. I haven't seen you for ages! Is everything all right?

Interlocutor: Hi! Yes, everything's fine. I've just been very busy with my Russian Grammar Course. Your grammar is so difficult!

Student: Yes, it really is. Why did you decide to learn such a difficult language by the way?

Interlocutor: There are several reasons: my ancestors are actually from Russia, and I think Russian will be useful if I want to do business with Russian partners in the future.

Student: Right.

Interlocutor: And why are you learning English?

Student: Because I think it's very important to speak English. It's necessary for travelling and studying. There's lots of literature in English. And lots of information on the Internet is in English, too!

Interlocutor: That's true. Are you going to use it for your future job? What kind of career are you thinking about?

Student: I haven't chosen a career yet. There are lots of options. My parents want me to be an engineer but I want to work with people. I think a job of a teacher or a manager is just right for me. But English will be useful whatever I choose — engineering, teaching or tourism...

Interlocutor: I absolutely agree with that.

Student: If you need any help with Russian grammar again, call me anytime — I'll be glad to help.

Interlocutor: Thank you very much. And I can help you with your English in return.

Student: That will be lovely, thanks. Sorry, but I should be off now.

Interlocutor: See you here next time.

Student: See you.
