Listening & Speaking Practice

A.  Listen to the dialogue and copy the tone and emphasis. Remember the notes bellow.

- Hello, Fosters Limited (Fosters Ltd). - Hello, I’m calling to speak to Barry Craven in Graphics. - One moment please, I’ll just put you through. I’m afraid his line’s busy. Would you like to hold? - No thanks, I would prefer not to as I’m a bit pushed for time at the moment. Could you put me through to his answer machine, please? - I’m afraid it’s not working right now. We’ve just had the department refurbished and we’re having a few teething problems with the new telephone set-up. - OK, in that case could you please put me through to someone else in his department?

F.  Theory Indicative Mood. (Изъявительное наклонение) Так же как, и в русском языке, в английском языке существует 3 наклонения: Изъявительное (Indicative Mood) Сослагательное (Subjunctive Mood) Повелительное (Imperative Mood) Изъявительное наклонение показывает, что говорящий рассматривает действие как реальный факт, предположение, желание, требование, побуждение, относящееся к настоящему, прошедшему или будущему: My dad seldom makes pancakes. - Мой папа редко печёт блины. (говорящий полагает, что это факт) Изъявительное наклонение выражает наличие или отсутствие объективного действия, в пределах того или другого времени. Различные отношения субъекта к этому действию им не определяются и передаются уже другими наклонениями. Например: I wish you luck. (Indicative Mood) - Желаю тебе удачи. I wish I were you. (Subjunctive Mood) - Жаль, что я - не ты. Дополнительные примеры предложений в изъявительном наклонении: I have never been to London. (Present Perfect) - Я никогда не был в Лондоне. We are going downtown. (Present Continuous) - Мы едем (поедем) в центр города. I know you were studying at University of Cambridge for 4 years. (Present Indefinite & Past Continuous) – Я знаю, что ты 4 года училась в Кэмбриджском университете.
