Question

Retell text in indirect speech. A n n : Hello, Steve. Have you got a minute? S t e v e : Sure, yes. What can I do for you? A.: I've read a number of books on the British system of higher education but I can't make head or tail of it. S.: Mm... no wonder. What's the problem? A.: Quite a lot of problems. What I want to discuss is the difference between a university and a college. S.: It's like this, you see... The programme is different. At a university it is much wider. Great attention is paid to scientific subjects. A: It sounds as though most people prefer a university. S.: Well... that rather depends. A.: Speaking about universities I'm not quite clear about tutorials there. What is a tutorial exactly? S.: Oh, it's when students discuss topics with a tutor in very small groups — usually there are not more than three or four students and sometimes only one. A.: I see... And coming back to colleges... I'm still not terribly sure what a residential college is. S.: Erm... It's a college with a hall of residence on the same grounds as the principal building. In fact all the students live in hall. A: Really? and what about the teaching staff? S.: Actually the majority of the teaching staff live there too. But there are also quite a lot of non-residential colleges. A: And you studied at university? S.: Yes... A.: I'd like to find myself in that university. What was it like? S.: Well... a big grey building surrounded by trees. A: Beautiful? S.: Nothing very remarkable. Of course there were lecture halls, classrooms and a number of laboratories. A: Any facilities for sport and P.E. S.: Let me see... Yes... A gymnasium with changing rooms and showers, a tennis court... What else... A playing field for netball and football... A.: I believe students spend a lot of time together, don't they? S.: Definitely. We had students' societies and clubs. A.: Am I right to believe that they are for those interested in drama and music? S.: Quite... and also politics, modern languages, literature, science and athletics. A: Ah... that's worth knowing. S.: And what I'd like to add is that students themselves organize all those clubs and societies. There is usually a Students' Council or Union. A.: Well Steve. Thanks very much. You've been most helpful.

Ответ:

А н н: Привет, Стив. У тебя есть минутка?  

С Е В Е : конечно, да. Что я могу для вас сделать?  

А. В.: Я прочел несколько книг о британской системе высшего образования, но никак не могу понять, что это такое.  

С.:Да... неудивительно. - А в чем проблема?

А. В.: довольно много проблем. Я хочу обсудить разницу между университетом и колледжем.

С.: Дело вот в чем, видите ли... Программа совсем другая. В университете он гораздо шире. Большое внимание уделяется научной тематике.

А: похоже, что большинство людей предпочитают университет.

С.: Хорошо... это, скорее, зависит.

А. В.: говоря об университетах, я не совсем понимаю, какие там учебные пособия. Что такое учебник точно?

С.: О, это когда студенты обсуждают темы с преподавателем в очень маленьких группах-обычно их не более трех-четырех человек, а иногда только один.

А. В.: понятно... И возвращаясь в колледжи... Я все еще не очень уверен, что такое колледж-интернат.

С.: Эм... Это колледж с общежитием на той же территории, что и главное здание. На самом деле все студенты живут в зале.

А: Правда? а как же преподавательский состав?

С.: На самом деле там тоже живет большая часть профессорско-преподавательского состава. Но есть также довольно много нежилых колледжей.

А: А вы учились в университете?

С.: Да...

А. В.: Я бы хотел оказаться в этом университете. На что это было похоже?

С.: Хорошо... большое серое здание, окруженное деревьями.

А: Красивая?

С.: Ничего особенного. Конечно, там были лекционные залы, аудитории и ряд лабораторий.

А: любые средства для спорта и P. E.  

С.: Дайте подумать... ДА... Тренажерный зал с раздевалками и душевыми кабинами, теннисный корт... Что ещё... Игровое поле для нетбола и футбола...

А.: Я считаю, что студенты проводят много времени вместе, не так ли?

С.: Безусловно. У нас были студенческие общества и клубы.

А. В.: правильно ли я считаю, что они предназначены для тех, кто интересуется драматургией и музыкой?

С.: Вполне... а также политика, современные языки, литература, наука и легкая атлетика.

А: А... это стоит знать заранее.

С.: и я хотел бы добавить, что студенты сами организуют все эти клубы и общества. Там обычно есть студенческий совет или Профсоюз.

А. В.: Ну Стив. Большое спасибо. Вы мне очень помогли

Answer 2

Ann asked Steve if he had a minute, to which Steve replied affirmatively and inquired about her needs. Ann expressed her confusion in understanding the British system of higher education despite reading several books on the topic. Steve responded that it was not surprising and asked her to explain her specific problem. Ann mentioned having several problems and expressed her interest in discussing the distinction between a university and a college. Steve explained that the main difference lay in the breadth of the program, with universities offering a wider range of subjects and emphasizing scientific disciplines. Ann commented that it seemed like most people preferred universities. Steve replied that it depended on the individual.

Ann then shifted the conversation to universities and expressed her confusion about tutorials. She asked Steve to clarify the concept. Steve described tutorials as small group discussions between students and tutors, typically consisting of three to four students or sometimes just one. Ann acknowledged the explanation and redirected the discussion to colleges. She admitted her uncertainty regarding residential colleges and asked Steve to shed light on the matter. Steve explained that residential colleges were colleges with on-site dormitories, where all the students resided. He added that a significant portion of the teaching staff also lived in those colleges, although there were non-residential colleges as well.

Curious about Steve's educational background, Ann asked if he studied at a university. Steve confirmed and Ann expressed her desire to attend a university like his. She inquired about his experience, to which Steve described it as a large grey building surrounded by trees, without any remarkable features. He mentioned the presence of lecture halls, classrooms, and laboratories. Ann further asked if there were sports and physical education facilities. Steve recalled a gymnasium with changing rooms and showers, a tennis court, and a playing field for netball and football.

Ann mentioned her understanding that students spent a significant amount of time together. Steve agreed, stating that there were students' societies and clubs. Ann inferred that these clubs were for individuals interested in drama and music, and Steve confirmed, adding that they also encompassed politics, modern languages, literature, science, and athletics. Ann expressed her appreciation for the information.

Finally, Ann thanked Steve for his assistance, acknowledging his helpfulness.
