Номер 4, страница 43 - гдз по английскому языку 9 класс (enjoy english) рабочая тетрадь с контрольными работами Биболетова, Бабушис

4 When you were having a holiday at the seaside, you met a fellow called Nick. You became friends because you were both interested in interior design. You've received a letter from him.

a) Read his letter and draw a plan of the room he describes in his letter.

Hi, Buddy!

I hope you are all right. Everything is OK with me too. I thought that you might be interested in what I'm doing here. Well, I've started my own business. I'm not kidding! My uncle suggested that I should help him with his inn while he is out of the town for a couple of months and here I am. My uncle had bought some new furniture for the inn before he left, and I had to arrange it in the rooms myself. I remember that you were very interested in design and would like to share some of my ideas with you. If you ever come to visit, I can reserve the best room for you, with a view of the sea.

This is really a very good room – not very large, but nice and sunny. It has one window just opposite the door. There is a writing desk in the middle of the room. By the window there is a bed. I placed it along the window, but some space is left to the left and to the right of it. A wardrobe with plenty of room to keep your clothes in stands along the right wall. It occupies the space from the top right corner to the middle of the wall. Next to it there is a rubbish bin, and in the bottom right corner there is a coffee table with a TV set on it. It is possible to hang it on the wall, but I didn’t manage to find an appropriate place for it. Above the TV set there's a mirror. To the left of the door, in the corner, there's an armchair. And then there's another chair in the room – it’s between the armchair and the door – and a nice lamp on the writing table – in case you would like to write a letter or a postcard.

Keep in touch,

Nick

P.S. I was going to take a special course to become an interior designer, but I don’t think I need it any longer. It’s better to learn things through practice, isn’t it?

Hi, Nick!

hank you very much for your invitation to stay in your family inn. I would certainly like to come, but I have some suggestions about the furniture arrangement in the room you described.

Hi, Nick!

Thank you very much for your invitation to stay in your family inn. I would certainly like to come, but I have some suggestions about the furniture arrangement in the room you described.

First of all, it doesn't seem convenient to have the writing desk in the middle of the room. I would suggest moving it along the wall where the armchair is, perhaps in the corner, so it forms a nice study area with the lamp.

Secondly, it seems to me that the other chair between the armchair and the door is out of place there, making the entrance area feel crowded. Why not put it next to the writing desk instead, for a more functional space?

Then, regarding the coffee table with the TV in the bottom right corner, it might be a bit far for comfortable viewing from the bed or the armchair. I would suggest moving the coffee table and TV to the wall opposite the bed, and hanging the mirror above it there.

Finally, to make the room look cosier, you could add a small rug in front of the coffee table if it's moved, and perhaps some wall art or plants on the empty wall spaces.

In this way I think the room will be much more comfortable to stay in. Let me know your thoughts on my suggestions.

Hope to see you soon,

Здравствуйте, Ник!

Большое спасибо за ваше приглашение остановиться в вашей семейной гостинице. Я бы с удовольствием приехал, но у меня есть несколько предложений по расстановке мебели в описанной вами комнате.

Во-первых, кажется неудобным иметь письменный стол посреди комнаты. Я бы предложил переместить его вдоль стены, где находится кресло, возможно, в угол, чтобы он образовал уютное рабочее место с лампой.

Во-вторых, мне кажется, что другой стул между креслом и дверью там неуместен, создавая ощущение тесноты у входа. Почему бы не поставить его вместо этого рядом с письменным столом, для более функционального пространства?

Затем, что касается журнального столика с телевизором в нижнем правом углу, он может быть немного далеко для комфортного просмотра с кровати или кресла. Я бы предложил переместить журнальный столик и телевизор к стене напротив кровати, и повесить зеркало над ним там.

Наконец, чтобы комната выглядела уютнее, вы могли бы добавить небольшой коврик перед журнальным столиком, если он будет перемещен, и, возможно, несколько настенных украшений или растений на пустых стенах.

Таким образом, я думаю, что в комнате будет гораздо комфортнее остановиться. Дайте мне знать, что вы думаете о моих предложениях.

Надеюсь, скоро увидимся,

____________ (ваше имя)

P.S. Я думаю, вам стоит еще раз подумать о курсе по дизайну интерьера.

Это может быть очень полезно.
