Язык был нужен по работе, изучала его на курсах : 1) перевода тех.литературы по методике Милашевича (гениальная вещь) и 2) разговорных, чтобы хоть узнать, как оно читается. На этих последних были т.п. задания:

OWNER'S REPORT. The day before yesterday I was employed on the English ship "Lyudovik the 19th" as a surgeon for the time of crossing Strait-of-Dover (Па-Де-Кале). Half-way from France the skipper asked me for a pencil to put some observations down to the ship's register. I had the only pencil and kept it always in the trunk as the only rememberance of my native land. For this reason I gave the above-mentioned trunk to the skipper who fell with it (all the three) into the sea while observing. And the pencil sank with the trunk in sea. Note that inside the trunk was also a handkerchief that was not insured. (The End.)

Dear Madam,
Just putting in order my papers I have accidentally found "Les Dialogues" by the very author whom You were especially interested in (last day before last day before yesterday). Here they are:
"Dialogue 1.
A. What are you doing?
B. I'm speaking English.
A. That's strange! Do you usually speak English?
B. I never speak but I'm speaking now.
A. Why are you speaking now?
B. Because I'm having my English classes.
A. I'm surprised to hear it.
Dialogue 2.
A. What were you doing last Monday?
B. I was feeling happy.
A. That's strange! Did you usually feel happy?
B. I never felt but I was feeling last Monday.
A. Why were you feeling happy last Monday?
B. Because I was having my English classes.
A. I'm amazed to hear it.
Dialogue 3.
A. What will you be doing next Friday?
B. I'll be sad.
A. That's strange! Will you usually be sad?
B. Not usually except next Friday.
A. Why will you be sad next Friday?
B. Because I won't be having my English classes.
A. I'm astonished to hear it."
That's all. I would be happy if these monotonous Dialogues were useful for at least one of us.
Respect, truly yours
<G.B.: They certainly were!>
