Todd: OK, Mark you said that you want to own your own home.
Mark: That would be nice, yes.
Todd: So let's say you can have any home in the world. You can make your dream home, reasonable dream home. OK, what kind of house would you have?
Mark: Well, I don't normally dream of like an enormous mansion, or anything. Just a nice, you know, medium to large size home. I guess almost more importantly for me is to have some land with the house, like I don't like, I wouldn't want my neighbor to be, you know, just three feet away from my house. I'd like to have a little bit of space.
Todd: OK, so assuming you have a big yard and you have this space, you have land, what kind of landscape would you have?
Mark: Well, I grew up in Alabama and I really like the landscape there. It's kind of hilly and lots of trees and lots of pine trees, you know, it’s a deciduous area of America, and lots of lakes so I guess, you know, that kind of setting, like a deciduous you know, lots of trees, lots of lakes, you know, or some water nearby and hills: things like that.
Todd: OK, but actually, what would you want your yard to look like?
Mark: Oh, I see.
Todd: You don't want a lake, right?
Mark: No, no, but, yeah, I don't know, I would want it to be taken care of, but not overly manicured, like I don't want it to be, you know, too much pruning, just, but I wouldn't want it to be completely wild either, so green but not like a just completely perfect square, or anything. I'd like for it to be a little bit, chaotic.
Todd: OK, so what do you want: a big bathroom, small bathroom, big kitchen, small kitchen?
Mark: Big bathrooms, big kitchen. Yeah. The bigger, the better!
Todd: The bigger, the better.
Mark: Yeah.
Todd: Two car garage?
Mark: Sure. That'll be fine. And actually the way the house is decorated, you know, if I'm married, my wife can decorate most of the house but I'd like to have one room that was my room, like that, you know, maybe I could put a small library and lots of books, maybe a pool table but one room that I got to do, you know, my own thing with.
Todd: Yeah, man. You need your territory.
Mark: Yeah, just that one room.

it is rather unusual, but my best friend is my uncle. He is a skiful (умелый) person and can do everything a real man must be able to do.
My uncle's name is Jack. He is thirty-seven years old. My uncle is tall (высокий) and thin (худой) and very sporty
He is fond (увлекается) of extreme kinds of sport and goes in for scuba diving and ski jumping.
Uncle Jack is very brave (смелый)it seems to me there is nothing he is afraid of.
He is also very sociable (общительный)and has a lot of friends not only in our city, but also in many places of our country.
My uncle is an excellent (замечательный)story-teller as he has travelled a lot and has been in different situations (ситуации).
He can repair (ремонт)almost any kind of car and teaches me to work with different (разные)equipment.
Uncle Jack always gives me good advice (совет)when I need it and helps me to solve my problems. I think it's real luck to have such a good friend.
