- Because it seems to be that you’re the one in our class that has fives in languages. OK, lets begin. What kind of recommendation would you give to those, who want to improve their basic language skills?
- At first I’d like to say that cause won’t turn into reality without an experience in subject that you learn. Excellent work in the classroom and diligent homework preparing is successful result in your primary achievements.
- Do you think that out-of-class activities may bring you desired help - help in getting reading, writing, conversation and pronunciation skills? Is it a good idea, to come home and after making homework, to practice in writing, obeying your teacher’s exact and clear explanations, if it is so.
- It’s just what I was thinking. In addition I’d like to say that your every extra reading, simple writing compositions, industriousness and responsibility in a good work habits, constant study will make your speech fluent. And it is always necessary to remember never to give way to despair in a case of a failure.
- I agree with you, I also think that there are many educational supplementary training courses in our town. Either ask help from your teacher, I’m sure she or he can always do it for you, or get somebody’s, who knows a subject matter well, advice to solve your problems. On the other hand how to make use of, for example, English TV, songs, periodicals, etc.?
- Oh, I suppose it as a superior thought. And furthermore it is easy accessible. You can just go and by a new English newspaper or a magazine in a nearby newsstand. Also you can choose from this variety of TV-channels that your providers offer and again in English.
- Certainly! Moreover at the end I feel like to say that communication with native speakers is so important as other factors of help in studying language. Thee can hold different discussions and conversations with inhabitant people of the foreign language you want to learn and to receive invaluable support. But, if you can’t find him or her don’t be saddened, you can find yourself in the language environment as well in school classes.
- I couldn’t agree more.
- Thanks for your answers, they were very good.
- Thank you too. Bye!
- Bye-bye!
Inviting a Friend
- Hallo! Could I speak to Dan?
- Speaking.
- Ooh… Hi Dan. It is me, - Sam!
- Hi Sam haven’t heard from you for ages. How are you? And where are you calling from?
- From Narva of course. And I’m fine. And how do you feel?
- I’m fine too.
- That’s good. You know, we have a school holidays next week.
- Really, what a coincidence, we, too.
- I didn’t know that. Thought, that you only have it in summer. Would you like to come and see me next week while you are on holiday? We would have a good time, even better than you would have in New York.
- I don’t know what to say.
- Don’t you believe me? I will show you all Narva sights. Have you heard anything about famous Narva Castle that was built at the end of the 13th and at the beginning of the 14th centuries by the Danes? The bastioned Castle with its high tower, named Tall Herman, being one of the most interesting erections of the medieval Estonia. Narva has always been and remains one of the most important gateways of Estonia.
- That is very interesting. I think you’d better come to see me in New York. Everyone knows something about New York – the Statue of Liberty, the spectacular skyscrapers, the beautiful shops of Fifth Avenue, and the many theaters on Broadway. I think you too.
- Yes you are right. I remember our school lessons about New York city and its history.
- And I can show you many other different and interesting places in New York, too. Because this city is the place to try something new. And it may be an experience that you will never forget.
We will visit well-known Disneyland, you will see one of the highest buildings (constructions) in the hole World,- New York Trade Center(s) skyscraper. It has 110 floors. We will also walk on Broadway and watch some performances in its theatres. Then we will…
- Hold on! You named me so many places to visit that my head has begun to spin around. However, in Narva there aren’t fewer places to see. Narva Art Museum performs large collections of paintings of the best art makers all over the Europe. You will be amazed at the Kreenholm factory with its capacious size. This manufactory has worked since the end of the last century. It produces clothes and many other textile products.
- And where can we have a rest in Narva?
- Our resorts and recreation centers are situated in the Narva suburb – Narva-Jõesuu and can receive and accommodate over 1000 guests. Holidaymakers come here every summer from St.Petersburg, Sweden and even from your America. Estonia is prouded of its clear, fresh air and clean water of the Finnish Gulf and its lakes inside the country.
