The task is 6.11.
Listen to the audio recording of the interview and take this into the table. You can write a single word without an article and from the sounds of the text. You can listen to the recording twice. You have 30 seconds to read the task.
Now we are ready to start.
-Thank you for taking part in our survey. I really appreciate it.
-It's okay. I'm waiting for a friend anyway. She's keen on photography and is buying some accessories for her camera at the moment. It may take her a long time.
- Right and as we are talking at the entrance to the fine arts exhibition, I guess you are interested in arts, aren't you?
-Yes, I am. I love arts and I do some painting myself. Just as a hobby, not professionally.
-You need to see Italy then. There are lots of places for art lovers there.
-Oh yes, Italy is on my travel list. We were going to fly their last winter, but I had to go to Finland instead on a business trip.
-Sorry to hear this.
-Never mind, it's okay. I'm going to Rome this June anyway. I'm even planning to hire a private guide to show me the most interesting places in the city.
-Good. I guess you are a very busy person, aren't you? What do you do for a living?
-You mean what my job is, don't you? I'm a scientist. I don't think we should discuss it in detail. It's a specific sphere.
-Right, of course. You are a very young scientist, I should say.
- No, not really. I'm 40. To you, 40 may sound like a very serious age.
-But you look younger.
-Thank you.
-Anyway, getting back to our survey. What's your favorite dish? Is it pizza or any other Italian cuisine?
-Right, it's Italian cuisine, but it's not pizza. It's pasta.
-Pasta?
-Yes, with different sauces.
-Right, and the last question is about recreation activities. Do you play any sports, tennis, probably?
-Right, I find sports absolutely necessary to stay healthy, physically and mentally. But it isn't tennis. I prefer team sports. I play basketball with my colleagues at least twice a week.
-Basketball?
-Yes, I may not be tall enough for the game, but I'm a good player, actually.
- I'm sure you are. Thank you for your time.
