TASK 2. Read Lady Wyatt's written account and the store detective's report,
Present them using the colour idioms.
Lady Wyatt: On Wednesday morning 1
went to Hall's Department Store to do some
shopping and to meet a friend for lunch. In the
Ladies Fashion Department I bought a belt and
a bag and paid for them. As I was waiting for
the lift to go up to the Rooftop Coffee Lounge,
I saw a silk scarf that I liked. I tried it on and
decided to buy it. I looked around for an
assistant to pay but couldn't see anybody. The
lift came and as I was late for my appointment,
I put the scarf with my other purchases,
intending to pay for it later on my way out.
Unfortunately, I forgot to pay and was stopped
at the door by the store detective who asked
me to go to the manager's office where I was
accused of having stolen the scarf. It's quite
ridiculous. I simply forgot to pay.
Mr.Bell: I was on duty on the second

I would like to discuss the topic of distance learning. Today, this topic is very relevant. Many children dreamed of learning through a computer. However, this has its pros and cons. Here are some of them.
The main advantage is that the child learns to self-organize his work. It also develops responsibility. After all, when there is a choice, to play hours of a computer or to perform an exercise, the temptation is to play.
However, there are also disadvantages, for example. At school, teachers control us, and only you yourself are at home, so children are not always learning effectively. Also, many write off, thereby not gaining knowledge.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for your attention!
Объяснение:
Millions of people around the world use Internet every day.
I have the internet at home and enjoy looking for useful information for me.
Internet is very useful, because it is a huge base of data and knowledge, where you can find any thing you want from movies and music of interest to the vast number of books, newspapers and magazines.
Internet helps to learn lots (или a lot). (можно по-другому: Internet helps studing.)
To find more information, download the required essay, watch video about some books which you have already read, everything can be done through the Internet.
Email is one of the advantages of the Internet.
This online service is cheaper than regular mail, and it works much faster.
You never lose touch with loved ones, wherever they are using such mean of communicatoin.
I have a personal e-mail and have an oppotunity to chat with my friends from other cities and countries.
Nowadays there are very different popular social networks where communication with your friends and relatives also is not difficult.
Today there are many different Internet competitions for different subjects which give students the opportunity to participate even in international competitions.
On the other hand I think that the Internet becomes a way of a person life and it is very harmful for our health. Many teenagers spend a long of time sitting at the computers and spoiling their eyes. I don't mean that I am against the Internet, but it should have reasonable limits.
