Grandparents of Sam’s friend are his grandparents’ neighbours. C. Sam didn’t see his parents for two months. D. Emily wouldn’t want to spend her summer like Sam. E. In June Emily was away from home. F. Emily’s family plan to visit Greece again. G. Emily won’t be able to show Sam her photos.

Emily: Hello, Sam. How are you? How was your first day of classes? Sam: Hello, Emily. I am well. Classes this semester seem interesting, but I am sure they will be a lot of work, as always. Emily: Yeah, mine look that way too. My history teacher told us that we will have to write four research papers by December, over, and we'll have five big tests. It's a good thing I like history. Sam: No kidding. I think my biology class will be the same way. Our teacher is very demanding. But with all the summer rest we've had, we should have enough energy, right? Emily: Yes. By the way, Sam, how was your summer? Did you do anything special? Sam: It was great. I spent two months at my grandparent's cottage on a lake. My grandfather is into fishing, so every day we went out on a boat with him. The weather was hot, so I was able to sunbathe and swim a lot. My friend was visiting his grandparents in the cottage next door, so we spent some time running around the countryside, climbing trees and picking wild berries. Emily: Sounds like a nice, relaxing summertime. I wish I had done the same. I envy you for having spent it outdoors because my summer wasn't nearly as active as yours. Sam: Really? Why not? What did you do this summer? Emily: I spent June on the couch in my flat, reading books and watching some boring TV shows. All my friends were gone by then, so I didn't even have anyone to go roller skating or bike riding with. Then in July I went to the seaside with my family. We visited Greece, but the sea was stormy most of the time, so we mostly did some sightseeing and shopping. Sam: We swam only two times. The most exciting part of the trip was visiting the ruins of Athens. Emily: Wow! Did you see the famous Parthenon? Is it as beautiful as they told us in history class? Sam: Yes, it is very graceful, and the feeling of visiting such an ancient place is amazing. So I took a lot of pictures. Emily: I would love to see them when you get the chance. Have you got them on your phone? Sam: No, I took them with my camera, so you can see them on my computer. I am also making a photo album of my trip to Greece. So when I'm finished, why don't you come over and look at it? Emily: I'd really like that, thanks. Let me know when it would be a good time to do that. Sam: I will. I have to run now. Time to get some homework done. Emily: Bye, Sam. Sam: Bye, Emily.

C. Jason is going to travel to Morocco soon. D. Jason is a very good cook. E. Jason has to buy some equipment for the trip. F. Jason has several social media profiles. G. Emma wants to see Jason’s pictures of Morocco.

Emma: Hi, Jason. I haven't seen you for ages. How are you? Jason: Oh, hi, Emma. It's so good to see you. I'm great. How about you? Emma: Oh, I'm fine. So how are your summer holidays? As for me, I'm just bored I've watched all the films I wanted to see and read all the books I wanted to read. I simply have nothing to do. Jason: You can join a gym or find a summer job then. That will keep you busy enough, I'm sure. Emma: Well, I'm thinking of getting a part-time job for the summer, but I haven't made up my mind yet. So, coming back to you, what have you been doing so far? Jason: Well, I haven't been up to anything interesting recently, but next week my adventure will begin. I'm looking forward to it so much. Emma: An adventure? That sounds exciting. What are you going to do? Jason: I'm going on an expedition to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The aim of the expedition is to observe the everyday life of local people, but there will be opportunities for trekking and bird watching. Emma: It sounds great. I guess it was not so easy to be accepted to this expedition group. Did they have many special requirements? Jason: I can't say there were too many requirements. One has to be reasonably fit and prefer mountain huts to grand hotels. They were looking for people with some useful skills like cooking, first aid or photography. Emma: I didn't know you could cook very well. Jason: I can't cook, Emma. I'm absolutely helpless in the kitchen. However, I'm a very good photographer. I also speak French, and fluent French speakers were also needed. Emma: Do you need to take any special equipment? Jason: All the necessary equipment will be provided, but I do have a list of things I have to have. It's quite long and detailed, so it took me a while to get them all. Emma: I see. Well, Jason, I hope you have a great trip. I expect you to take thousands of pictures of Morocco. They will be very colourful and bright, I'm sure. Will you post them on social media? Jason: I'd love to, but I'm not sure about that. I don't know if I'll be able to have an internet connection during my expedition. I expect to be offline for at least some part of my trip. Emma: You'll show me the pictures when you come back then. I'm longing to see them already. How long are you going for? Jason: It's three weeks. I'll give you a call as soon as I come back. We'll meet for a coffee and I'll tell you everything about Morocco, OK? Emma: It's a date then.

The manager approves of the client’s choice of the country. C. The client has a small daughter. D. The Royal is cheaper than The Concord Hotel. E. The client’s wife doesn’t work. F. The Concord spa is very expensive. G. The client is going to order the tour today.

Manager: Good morning. It's the Best Tour Agency. How can I help you? Client: Good morning. My friend has recently ordered a tour to Spain in your agency and he was very happy with it. I wonder if you can help me as well. Manager: We'll do our best to make sure you will have a trip of your dream. What country do you have in mind? Client: I've been thinking about going to Spain, too. I was very much impressed by my friend's photos. I guess this is a very interesting country. Manager: This is an excellent choice, sir. Are you going to travel alone? Client: No, it's me, my wife and our teenage daughter. We always have family holidays. Manager: I see. When would you like to have a tour? Client: Is it possible to book a tour starting on the 25th of July? Manager: Sure. I suggest you should have a look at the Royal Hotel. It's not a big hotel, but it's very cosy, away from big crowds and noisy discos. You'll be able to enjoy some peace and quiet there. Client: That sounds good, but is it far from the major places of interest in Spain? I wouldn't like to waste much time getting to the sights I want to see. Manager: You've made a very good point here. The Royal is out of the question then. In such a case, I'd recommend you the Concord Hotel. It's much bigger than the Royal, but it won't take you more than an hour to get to the most interesting places in Spain. Client: Is it noisy? I'd really love some peace and quiet. Manager: I don't think so. They are a family hotel. There can be some families with toddlers though. So, if it's a problem, then we can have a look at one more hotel. Client: No, small kids are great, it's no problem. It's the noisy discos I'm worried about. Does the hotel have a good beach? Manager: In fact, it's one of the best beaches in Spain, with all the facilities you can imagine. Client: It sounds perfect. Does the hotel have a gym and a spa? I love to have a cardio session in the morning while my wife wants to relax, as she has a very stressful job. She's a teacher. Manager: Yes, the gym is fully equipped and free of charge. As for the spa, there will be an extra charge, but it's like that in most hotels anyway. Client: Sure, well I think I'm going to order this tour now. When can I come to your agency? Manager: We work every day from 9am to 7pm. We'll be expecting you. Don't forget that if you come today, you'll get a 10% discount on the tour. Client: It's a great offer. I'll be in an hour then. See you. Manager: See you.

Sarah supports Andy’s mum decision. C. Andy doesn’t have any health problems. D. Sarah plays computer games at the weekend. E. Sarah has daily football training. F. Andy thought about joining a football team last year. G. Sarah’s team does not need new players.

Andy: Hey Sarah, how's it going? Sarah: Hi Andy, all is well. How are you? Andy: I guess I'm OK. It's just that my mum doesn't let me play on my phonebanymore. Sarah: Really? Why is that? Have you been spending too much time on yourbmobile lately? Andy: I suppose so. I got this new game a couple of days ago. One of my friendsbdownloaded it for me and now I want to get through all the levels, but my mumbwon't let me. Sarah: Well, Andy, I'm sorry, but I kind of think she's right. She's just worried about your health, that's all. You know, playing for too long on such a small screen can hurt your eyesight. Andy: Oh, I know that. Last week I had to go to the optician because I couldn't see things on the board in class. The doctor said my eyesight has really worsened. Sarah: You see, that's why your mum is on you for playing this new game. If I were you, I wouldn't even download any new games for now, so I wouldn't be tempted to play them all the time. Andy: Sarah, you sound like you don't play computer games. Is that so? Sarah: I play sometimes, but not every day. I have no more than five games on my computer and maybe one on my mobile. There are so many other things to do that I haven't got time for games. Andy: What are you so busy with? Sarah: Well, lots of homework usually, and then I've got football practice every day, so I'm too tired to play on my phone when I have free time. I often simply go to bed instead. When I get a chance, I also like to go outside and play with my dog. Andy: Football sounds fun. I like to play it with the boys from my class after school, but the thought of joining a team has never crossed my mind. Sarah: Well, you should try it if you like the game. You can come to the try-outs with me next week. They put out an announcement last week at my sports club about selecting new team members for the boys’ team. Andy: Really? Well, I'm going to consider it then. It would surely make my mum happy. Sarah: Good. We could go to practices together if you get on the team, because they are usually at the same time as the girls’ team. Well, speaking of football,my practice is in ten minutes so I've got to get going. Andy: It was good seeing you, Sarah. Have a good time at the practice and thank you for the idea about joining a team. Sarah: You're welcome. I hope it works out for you. See you later.

Some of Mary’s friends have visited Russia as well. D. Russian people turned out to be rather outgoing. E. Mary wasn’t able to see any Russian cities. F. Mary knew some Russian before the trip. G. Anna is studying English at university.

Jack: Hello Mary, I haven't seen you for ages. How are you? Mary: Hi Jack, it's so good to see you. It's been a year since I last saw you. Jack: When did you come back? Mary: I arrived in London a week ago and stayed there at my aunt's place for a couple of days and then took a train to Birmingham. Jack: So, how was your exchange programme? Which country did you go to? Mary: Oh, Jack, I stayed in Russia for a year and I absolutely loved it. Jack: Russia? Well, it's great, I mean, it's exotic. Not many people here in Birmingham can boast of having visited Russia. Mary: Well, Jack, I chose Russia not to show off, but to study Russian culture more deeply. You know, I've always been interested in Russia. I have Russian roots. I was even given my name after my great-grandmother Maria who emigrated from Russia in the 19th century. Jack: I didn't know that. So did you stay in Moscow? Mary: No, I just visited Moscow as a tourist. But I stayed in a small provincial town. However, the school I went to was great and I didn't have many language problems. Everybody seemed to at least understand English and that was convenient. Jack: How did you find Russian people? Mary: Oh, they are simply amazing. They are very friendly and hospitable. If you are their guest, they'll treat you to the most delicious pastry you can imagine. They seem to be quite reserved at first, but as you get to know them better, you understand that they are very friendly. Jack: That's great! Did you travel much around Russia? Mary: Yes, I did. I can't say it's very cheap, though. Still, it's affordable. So I visited Moscow, St Petersburg, the Golden Ring, and I also went to Sochi with my host family. Jack: Sochi? It is the city which hosted the Winter Olympics of 2014? Mary: Yes, that's right. Jack: Your Russian must have improved greatly. Mary: I hope so. My host parents said I had done a great job learning Russian. I shared the room with their daughter, Anna, whose passion is English, so we were able to learn from each other. Jack: You must invite them to the UK! Mary: I did. They hope to get their visas and visit us for Christmas. My mother is looking forward to meeting them already. Look, Jack, I must go. See you later. Jack: See you.
