Getting about London

What is London?

We can say that it is one of the largest cities in the world , that it is one of the world’s most important ports and that it is the capital of Great Britain.

But all these answers do not give any idea of London.

London is more than two thousand and five hundred years old. About seven million people live there. There are more than 10 thousand streets in London.

Most of the streets are not very wide and most of the buildings are not tall , but multistorey buildings have also appeared in London and almost all of them are hotels and offices.

London Underground is the oldest and longest in Europe. There are eleven different lines with more than 500 stations.

Although London is a crowded and noisy city you can find many pleasant parks and green squares there.

Regent’s Park is the most beautiful park and Hyde Park is the largest, it is one of the most popular places of rest of Londoners on hot summer days.

There are three main parts in London: the City, the West End and the East End.

The oldest part of London is the City, the business centre. But the political centre is Westminster which is in the West End.

The West End is famous for its rich shops , hotels, restaurants, cinemas, museums and other places of interest. Only rich people live there.

The East End is another part of London. Many houses there are poor and many streets are narrow and dirty. The East End is famous for its docks but they have closed. Now people are building houses there. Already there are offices, shops and restaurants, a cinema and a large hotel for a modern traveler. By 2000 there will be a sports centre, a shopping centre, an airport and many other new buildings.

There is so much to see in London that even Londoners can always find new sights . They like to say: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.”

B

Asking the Way

Talking Business

A

Soyuzimport is interested in buying pumps for a new shop of a large plant in Siberia. The shop is already under construction and the customers require the goods urgently , as they must complete the construction of the shop by the end of the year.

Borisov, a representative of Soyuzimport, who deals in this kind of equipment, got instructions to buy pumps from a British company. As soon as he arrived in London he contacted Bond and Co, a leading manufacturer of pumps. Mr.Stanley, the manager of the company, invited him to come to his office.

Borisov: Good morning! I’m Borisov. Here is my card.

Stanley: Glad to meet you, Mr.Borisov. Will you take a seat, please.

Borisov: Thank you.

Stanley: Did you have a good trip?

Borisov: Yes, it was quite nice, thank you.

Stanley: Nave you seen any places of interest in London yet?

Borisov: Yes, but not many. I arrived in London only two days ago and it

has rained all the time.

Stanley: Oh, I hope the weather will change for the better and it’ll stop

raining soon. You’ll enjoy sightseeing in London. Well, Mr.Borisov, let’s discuss business now. What can I do for you?

Borisov: We know you’ve started producing a new model of pupms. The

quality of the model meets our requirements and we’d like to place an order with you. Can you make us an offer for 150 pumps?

Stanley: Sure! When would you like to have the pumps?

Borisov: We require the pumps for immediate shipment.

Stanley: Well. You see, Mr.Borisov, we’re heavy with orders at the moment

and can offer you only 50 pumps for now.

Borisov: And what about the balance of 100 pumps?

Stanley: We can start shipping them six months after we sign the contract. I

think we can deliver the pumps in four lots of 25 pumps each at regular intervals within eight months. Is that all right with you?

Borisov: Not altogether . We require the pumps earlier. Could you start the

deliveries, say, four months after we sign the contract?

Stanley: I’m afraid not. We can guarantee , however , that there won’t be any delay in shipment.

Borisov: All right. I think we could agree to that.

Stanley: Is there anything else you’d like to discuss, Mr.Borisov?

Borisov: Yes, there’s another point I’d like to clarify. It’s about your

delivery terms.

Stanley: As we can provide shipping facilities we usually sell our goods on

CIF terms.

Borisov: Well, Mr.Stanley, we can accept your delivery terms. When shall

we meet to discuss the price and terms of payment?

Stanley: Let’s meet in two days’ time. I’ve got a crowded programme

tomorrow and the day after.

Borisov: Fine. Good-bye, Mr. Stanley.

The National Theatre shows the best in the world drama . Some theatres put on modern plays and at others you can metimes enjoy good musicals, folk songs concerts or concerts of “pop” music .

Borisov: Mr. Dunn, I’ve heard very much about the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It’s in Stratford-on-Avon, isn’t it?

Dunn: Right. But in 1960 the Royal Shakespeare Company also began to perform at the Aldwych Theatre, in London where they put on both classical and new plays.

Borisov: Have you seen any performances on the stage of the Stratford Theatre?

Dunn: Oh, yes. As a matter of fact my wife and I were there a couple of months ago and saw “Othello”.

Borisov: What did you think of it?

Dunn: It was an excellent performance. The cast was very good, except for the actress who played the part of Desdemona. She was rather ordinary.

Borisov: What was wrong with her performance?

Dunn: Well, there was no feeling in it. During the interval everyone was saying that.

Borisov: How about the actor who played the part of Othello?

Dunn: Oh, his performance was very convincing and dramatic . There were seven or eight curtain calls for him, when the performance was over .

Borisov: There was a full house, I believe .

Dunn: Yes, indeed ! It’s an extremely popular theatre. Anyway , Mr. Borisov, I recommend you to go and see some play at the Aldwych Theatre. You’ll enjoy it. But I also recommend you to book seats in advance.

Borisov: That sounds a good idea.

Shops and shopping in London

A

Oxford street is one of the biggest and most popular shopping centres in London. Its nice shops and department stores attract people from all over the country and from foreign countries as well .

Shops and department stores are open every day till 6 o’clock except on Sundays. If you can’t go shopping during the day you can make a purchase on Thursday after office hours, as the shops close at 8 o’clock in Oxford street on that day.

There are different kinds of shops in Oxford street: there are clothes shops and shoe shops, book shops and dress shops. But many people prefer a department store, as it offers almost everything in one building.

One of the largest department stores in Oxford Street is Selfridge’s. It has about 235 different departments . It is a very expensive department store, that is why most Londoners have to go to cheaper shops: Marks and Spenser’s for clothes and supermarkets for food.

Supermarkets have become very popular with shoppers. They sell not only food, but also ready-made clothes, toys and other goods. They are self -service shops.

B

On Saturday morning Borisov went shopping in Oxford Street, as he was to leave London soon. He called at the men’s department of a big department store. He came up to a salesgirl and asked her to help him to choose a suit.

Borisov: I’d like a light suit for summer wear , nothing too modern.

Salesgirl : Single – or double-breasted ?

Borisov: Single-breasted, please.

Salesgirl: What’s your size , sir?

Borisov: I’m afraid, I don’t know my English size.

Salesgirl: You’ll have to try on this one for size in the fitting -room over there.

Borisov: I don’t think it’s my size: the jacket is too tight and the trousers are too short.

Salesgirl: Yes? I think the suit is one size too small for you, here is another, a size larger. It looks fine on you. It fits you perfectly.

Borisov: So it does .

Salesgirl: It’s of very good quality, it’ll wear for ages.

Borisov: Will it? That’s nice. How much is it?

Salesgirl: It costs 30 pounds.

Borisov: Well, I think I’ll take it, I like the style and the colour.

Salesgirl: Will you pay cash ?

Borisov: Cash, please.
