ПОЛУГОДОВАЯ ПРОВЕРОЧНАЯ РАБОТА

Вариант 2

Now we are ready to start.

Paul: Hi, Jane. How are you? I called several times last night, but nobody answered. You were out, I guess.

Jane: Hello, Paul. I'm fine. And you're right, I wasn't at home last night. I was at the theatre. I sometimes go to the theatre at weekends. And yesterday was Sunday.

Paul: I see. So, you were at the theatre. What theatre was it? Did you go to the Covent Garden? By the way, I have never been there.

Jane: Neither have I. And last night I wasn't at the Covent Garden either. You know, it's rather difficult to buy tickets for any opera or ballet there, and they are quite expensive.

Paul: Yes, that's true. So, what theatre was it? And what play did you see? Or was it an opera?

Jane: No, it wasn't an opera. Frankly speaking, I don't like listening to people singing their parts. I think I simply don't understand them. We went to the Globe and watched King Lear, the famous play by William Shakespeare.

Paul: Oh, it's one of my favourite. How was the performance?

Jane: It was really good. The actors played brilliantly. There was a lot of applause after each act. I liked the performance very much.

Paul: Did you go to the theatre with your family?

Jane: No, my mum and dad were busy. I was there with Meg, my schoolmate. She is a great theatregoer. We often go to the theatre together and we've seen a lot of plays recently.

Paul: What about the seats? Where were they?

Jane: You know, Paul, we were lucky indeed. Our seats were in the stalls.

Paul: I, personally, usually buy seats which are a bit higher. You can see everything that is happening on the stage then, and the tickets are much cheaper.

Jane: That's true. The seats in the balcony are not expensive, but you can't see the actors' faces well.

Paul: Well, you may be right. So you think the play is worth seeing.

Jane: I would certainly advise you to watch it. By the way, why did you phone me yesterday? Was it important?

Paul: No, I simply wanted to ask you some questions about our homework.
