A. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT RUSSIAN WRITERS?
(A talk between Bill Anderson, a lecturer at London University, and Peter Sedov, a Russian teacher, who is teaching Russian at London University.)
Bill Anderson: Peter, could you do me a favour?(1)
Peter Sedov: You’re welcome.
Bill: Could you name most popular modern Russian writters?
Peter: Well, you know, tastes differ. My favourite modern writers are Solzhenitsyn, Bondarev, Rasputin, Lipatov to name only a few.
Bill: Were any of their works translated into English?
Peter: I think so. I have Bondarev’s "Bank"(2) in English.
Bill: May I borrow it?
Peter: Yes, certainly. I’ll bring it tomorrow.
Bill: Thank you very much. Unfortunately I don’t know any of your modern writers.
Peter: I hope you’ll enjoy these novels.
В. TELL ME ABOUT BRITISH WRITERS, PLEASE
A: Who are the most popular writers in Great Britain at present?
B: It’s a diffucult question. Tastes differ, you know. I’d say the most popular fiction writers are Graham Greene, Iris Murdoch, Agatha Christie, to name only a few.
A: As to Graham Greene, Iris Murdoch and Agatha Christie I’ve read some of their books in translation. They impressed me greatly. I especially liked Graham Greene’s novels "The Comedians" and "The Honorary Consul".(3) I wonder whether John Galsworthy, Bernard Shaw, Somerset Maugham and Arnold Bennett are as popular as they used to be. (4)
В: I don’t think so though many of their books are republished. Galsworthy is my favourite writer. He’s a classic. I hear most of Galsworthy’s novels were translated into Russian.
A: Oh, yes. I think I’ve read all the books that were translated.
B: I’m surprised at you, Russians. You seem to know English literature better than we do. (5)
C. COULD YOU ADVISE ME AN ENGLISH NOVEL TO READ?
Peter Rostov: Could you advise me an English novel to read?
John Brown: I’d advise you to read C.P Snow’s novel "The New Men". Though C.P. Snow wrote it over thirty years ago, the book has stood the test of time.
Rostov: What’s the subject-matter of the book?
Brown: As far as I understand it’s the problem of conscience, duties and responsibilities of scientists.
Rostov: Who are the main characters?
Brown: To my mind the two brothers — Lewis and Martin Eliot.
Rostov: When and where does the action take place?
Brown : During the Second World War and a year after. A group of British scientists worked on the atomic bomb in a small village, a few miles from Stratford-on- Avon*. Late in July 1945 they learned that the USA had tested an atomic bomb and that the American military were planning to drop an atomic bomb on a Japanese town.
Rostov: Excuse my interrupting you. Did the scientists try to do something?
Brown: Yes, they did. They signed a protest and took it to Washington.
Rostov: But the American military didn’t listen to the scientists as the events showed.
Brown: Unfortunately, they didn’t.
Rostov: What do you think the message of the novel is?
Brown: I think the writer wanted to draw the attention of the people to the danger of atomic bombs. To my mind the social value of the novel is undoubted. Look, I advise you to read the novel yourself and form your own opinion. When you finish it we’ll be able to discuss it. I could lend you the book, by the way.
Rostov: Thank you.
D. I AM FOND OF MUSIC
(Jane, an English student has just returned from a concert. She meets Mary, a Russian exchange postgraduate.)
Mary: Hello. How are you?
Jane: Fine, thanks. I’ve just been to Richter’s concert.
Mary: Did you enjoy the concert?
Jane: It was splendid.
Mary: What did he play?
Jane: Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and ... Here, have a 1ook at the programme. I believe Richter is one of the most brilliant pianists of today.
Mary: Yes, he certainly is. By the way, the Chamber Orchestra "Moscow Virtuosos*" is on tour in Great Britain now. Would you care to attend their concert next Friday? I’ve got two tickets.
Jane: I’d love to. Thank you very much. I’ve read a review about the concert. It says they’re marvellous. I’m fond of music.

D: Fine, thanks.

D: Yes. I’ve just returned from my holiday.
M: Where did you go for your holiday?
D: Yes. My wife and I made a tour of Central Asia.
M: How very interesting! I was just going to ask your advice about a visit there. You see(2), my wife is a historian. For many years she’s been planning a trip to Samarkand and Bukhara. Have you ever been to these cities?
D: Yes, certainly. The architectural monuments of these two cities are fascinating. In the past Arab poets called Samarkand "the Eden of the ancient East(3)". I think your wife should try to see these cities.
M: I wonder how long the trip will take her.
