It’s Friday evening. Denis (is walking) in the centre of Moscow to the metro station. He (is meeting) his friend Igor, who (is going) in the same direction.

Denis — Hallo, Igor. Where are you (hurrying) to?

Igor — I (am going) to my uncle’s place. I (go) there once a month to take the money which my father (sends) me.

D. — Why doesn't your father (send) it to you?

I. — He does not (want) to send it by post, as my father and my uncle’s son (work) together in the country, so my father always (gives) him some money for me.

D. — Shall we take a bus? I (see) that you (are limping).

I. — I usually (go) by bus. But today I do not (have) any money left.

D. — Oh, usually I do not (use) public transport very much. My mother (says) that I (am getting) too fat, so I (am trying) to take more exercise. And by the way, why are you (wearing) shoes that do not (fit)?

I. — They (are) new. And the left one (is rubbing) a lot, that’s why I (am limping).

D. — You can’t walk like that. Let’s take the bus. It usually (comes) at about this time.

I. — It (is coming) now, look. But I do not (have) any money.

D. — Well, do not (worry)! I can lend you some. Come on, do not (argue). The driver (is waiting) for us.

Hello. How can I help you?

 Good afternoon. I would like to get a library card at first.

 Do you live in this district?

Yes, I do. Here is my ID Card. You can see my current address on it.

 Thank you. Here is the application form. Please, fill it in and sign your full name at the bottom.

Here you are. My application is ready. Can I have a library card now?

 Yes, sure. Here it is. What type of literature are you looking for?

 I need some books on the history of China. Can you tell me where to find them?

All the books about China and its history are on the second floor on the most remote shelf. When you go upstairs, you need to walk past the IT-room and then turn left. It’s the last shelf on the right.

 I see. Thank you. I’ll try to find it. I have one more question. My friend is looking for the literature about the history of World War II. Where can she find it?

 She needs to look for it on the ground floor. To be precise all the literature on the World War II is in the second room on the right.

Ok, I’ll tell her about it.

 But first, she needs to get a library card. Otherwise, she won’t be allowed to borrow the books and to take them home.

I see. Thank you for the information. I’ll tell her to get the library card.
