Б. РЕПЛИКОВЫЕ УПРАЖНЕНИЯ (ПО ТЕМАМ)

1.Object to the statements given below. Correct them.

Town

The bus is the most modern kind of city transport. Trams are usually empty during the rush-hours. The main street of a town is usually found in its outskirts. There is an underground railway in every British town. The Thames divides London into two parts. The first words we use to ask about the way are, "Thank you. What's the time now?" Getting about the town in which you are for the first time is a simple thing.

Travelling

Tickets for planes are booked only at airports. Moscow has only one big airport. No meals are usually served on long­distance flights. Airports are usually near the centres of towns. Passengers are not allowed to smoke on the train when it leaves the station.

Meals

Sandwich is a hot meal which we eat at dinner for the first course. We have lunch in the evening before going to bed. Englishmen usually do not have porridge in the morning. Doctors usually recommend people to have heavy supper. If you want to reduce your weight (to become slim) you must eat a lot of bread. Tarts and cakes and fruit are usually served at the beginning of a meal.Pupils like chewing-gums, lolly-pops, chocolate

It is very cold today. The weather today is better than it was last night. The climate of Britain is mild. Winters are very frosty in our parts (region, locality).

The climate of Siberia is more continental than that of the Ukraine.

Pastimes and Hobbies

Children are fond of computer games. Collecting books is a very useful hobby. There is a new hobby-group starting at our school — photography.
