Unit X. Jewelry Buying Mistakes. Not pre-shopping

Vocabulary. Write down and learn the following words and words combinations

Car dealership – агенство по продаже автомобилей Hapless – несчастный Dazed – потрясенный Substitute – замена

Figure out – вычислять Tanzanite – танзанит (полудрагоценный камень) Garnet – гранат

Read and translate the text

It’s a known fact that men hate to shop. Take us to a car dealership, the local Home Depot or Best Buy, and chances are we'll cruise along like kids in a candy store. But watch a guy in a supermarket wandering up and down the aisles looking for olives, or some hapless, dazed soul trying to find his way around a mall or department store. You get the idea! The problem is that there is no substitute for pre-shopping.

Once you’ve figured out what “she” would like, done your homework and learned all you ever wanted to know about jewelry; it is necessary to see what’s out there and who has the best selection for your needs. One big reason we built Jewelry.com is so you can browse through a wide assortment at your leisure, in the comfort of your own home (in your bathrobe, unshaven if you like!). Since you will have done your homework before pre-shopping, you’ll realize that it's much easier when you know white gold from platinum and tanzanite from garnets!

I. Oral practice

1. Read, learn and dramatize the dialogs

Countries and nations

- Is England the name of that country? - No, it isn’t. It’s called Great Britain, or simply Britain. England is a part of it. - Really? So, I’m sorry, I’m mistaken. - In my opinion you simply mix the names. - And what about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or the United Kingdom? That sounds more official, doesn't it? - Yes, it’s the official name of that country. But you shouldn’t forget that though in everyday speech Britain is used to mean the United Kingdom, it’s the name of the island which is made up of England, Scotland and Wales. - Thanks, I’ve guessed at last.

- Эта страна называеться Англия? - Нет. Она называется Великобритания, или просто Британия. Англия - только часть ее. - Правда? Ну, тогда прошу прощения. Я заблуждался. - Я думаю, что ты просто путаешь названия. - А что насчет Соединенного королевства Великобритании и Северной Ирландии или просто - Соединенного королевства? Это звучит более официально, верно? - Да, это официальное название страны. Но не нужно забывать, что хотя в разговоре под Великобританией понимаеться Соединенное королевство, на самом деле это название острова на котором расположены Англия, Шотландия и Уэльс. - Спасибо, наконец-то я разобрался.

- How do you do, Paul. Is it your first visit to the States? - No, I was there many years ago. It was a brief visit. - You didn’t see much of America then, did you? - Very little, I’m afraid. This time I believe I’ll be able to visit Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas and Utah, the Mormon state. - I’m sure you’ll find that we have an interesting, varied and beautiful country. America is full of different peoples, scenery and customs. No doubt, you’ll have an exciting experience.

- Привет, Пол. Это твой первый визит в штаты? - Нет, я был здесь много лет назад. Это была короткая поездка. - Тогда ты немного увидел, правда? - Совсем немного. На это раз я надеюсь мне удасться посетить Пенсильванию, Иллинойс, Канзас и Юту, штат мармонов. - Я уверен, что ты найдешь нашу страну интересной, красивой и разнообразной. Америка полна разных людей, пейзажей и обычаев. Без сомнений, это будет волнующее приключение.

- Steve, my cousin is coming tomorrow. Where shall I take him, I wonder? - Well, the problem - is what, you, want him to see. - Look, he’s already been here several times. And what if I take him to Brest. - But where will you stay? - A friend of mine lives there. She’ll show us around the city. - Don’t forget to go to the Brest Fortress. The memorial there is really impressive. There are always a lot of people there. I’m sure you’ll remember your excursion there for a long time. - Agreed. So, I’ll go and buy the tickets for a train to Brest for the day after tomorrow.

- Стив, мой кузин приезжает завтра. Куда бы мне его сводить? - Вопрос в том, что ты хочешь ему показать. - Слушай, он уже несколоько раз был здесь. Что если я свожу его в Брест? - Но где вы остановитесь? - Моя подруга живет там. Они покажет нам город. - Не забудьте сходить в Брестскую крепость. Мемориал там действительно впечатляющий. Людей там всегда много. Я уверен, вы долго будете помнить экскурсию туда. - Согласен. Тогда я пойду куплю билеты на поезд до Бреста на послезавтра.
