b Read the email again and underline the phrases Helen uses to ask for information. How many direct questions can you find in the email? (Прочитай письмо ещё раз и подчеркни фразы, которыми Хелен просит информацию. Сколько прямых вопросов ты найдёшь в письме?)
a) Письмо официальное, у каждой части своя «связка».
- Письмо начинается с цели: I am writing in response to your advertisement — «Я пишу в ответ на ваше объявление» → c.
- Первый вопрос: To begin with, … — «Для начала…» → a.
- Следующая просьба добавляется словами In addition, … — «Кроме того…» → e.
- Последняя просьба — Finally, … — «И наконец…» → b.
- Конец письма: I look forward to hearing from you — «Буду ждать вашего ответа» (look forward to + -ing) → d.
b) Фразы для просьбы об информации: I would like some further information about them (я хотел бы получить дополнительную информацию); I would also like to know the times of the classes as well as how long they last (я также хотел бы узнать…); I would like you to tell me if I need to wear any special shoes or clothes (я хотел бы, чтобы вы сказали мне, нужно ли…); I would appreciate it if you could tell me where to buy… (буду признательна, если вы скажете, где купить…). Прямых вопросов в письме два: how many people are there in each class? и could you also send me information regarding prices as well as membership fees? Остальные просьбы — косвенные: в них порядок слов как в обычном предложении.
