Кто добрый Exercise 99
Here is a conversation between an administrative manager and a
communications engineer. Transform it into indirect speech. Use
past tenses. Make all the necessary changes.

Administrative manager (Ad. M.):

- So you think we should change the system?

Communications engineer (C. Eng.):

- Yes, I do. We're having a lot of problems with the existing
configuration.

Ad. M.: So, what do you suggest?

C. Eng.: Well, at the moment we're using a modem linked up direct to
our microcomputer and the telephone line. Very simple, in
theory we send files from our computer direct to our clients’
computers using a software package called ‘Communicate’.

Ad. M.: OK ... Well, sounds fine. What's the problem?

C. Eng.: Well, the weak link is the line. As you know a lot of our clients
are overseas and we are having problems with the lines. The
files are being transmitted but they are not arriving in the same
form. The data are being corrupted.

Ad. M.: What does that mean?

C. Eng.: Well, say we send a 10 page contract to a client in France.
We make the connection, start transmitting and then there's a
fault on the line and they receive the contract with some
parts missing, or parts they can't understand

Ad. M.: That sounds bad.

C. Eng.: Even more serious is that it's costing us a lot of money in call
charges. Call charges on international lines are high and each
time we send a report or contract - let's say 10 pages long - it
takes up to'S minutes to transmit - longer if we have problems
with the line.

Ad. M.: Yes, that is serious. So what do you suggest?

C. Eng.: Well, I think we should use an electronic mailbox.

Ad. M.: How does that work?

C. Eng.: Very simply really. We subscribe to a service called

DIALCOM. We send our files to a central computer. The files
are stored there and our clients can get the file out when they
want. We use. our existing equipment and so we only have to
pay for the subscription and the call charges.

Ad. M.: How expensive is it?

C. Eng.: It's cheaper, but more important - the system uses a data
network, not the normal telephone lines; so transmission is faster
and more reliable - there's less chance of the data being
corrupted.

Ad. M.: Alright, I think we should go ahead.

My name is Inna. I’m 13 years old. I’m a 7th grade pupil. I don’t have many clothes, only the most necessary items. I have some black skirts and white shirts. They are my regular school uniform. I also have some jeans and T-shirts, which I often wear when I go for a walk with friends. Last month my mum bought me a pair of party dresses for special occasions, and I really like them. If I could, I would wear them every day, but they are too festive. I also have some sports clothes, which I wear for PE (Physical Education) lessons. For winter time I have several sweatshirts and a warm coat. As for shoes, I have a pair of flat black shoes matching my school uniform, a pair of sneakers for sports activities, and a pair of boots. When I was a bit younger I used to like casual jeans and sportswear. At the moment, my favourite clothes are dresses. I like all types of dresses: summer sarafans, triangle-shaped dresses, polka dot dresses, lace or cotton dresses and so on. I know that jeans and a shirt is a much more comfortable wear, but dresses look gorgeous. As I’ve said I have only a pair of classic shoes without heels. So I would like to have another pair of dress shoes with low heels and sparkly elements.

Меня зовут Инна. Мне 13 лет. Я ученица 7-го класса. У меня нет большого количества одежды, лишь все самое необходимое. У меня есть несколько черных юбок и белых блузок. Они являются моей регулярной школьной формой. У меня также есть несколько джинсов и маек, которые я часто надеваю, когда иду на прогулку с друзьями. В месяце мама купила мне пару вечерних платьев для особых случаев, и мне они очень нравятся. Если бы я могла, то носила бы их ежедневно, но они слишком праздничные. У меня также есть немного спортивной одежды, которую я надеваю на уроки физкультуры. Для зимнего времени, у меня есть несколько свитеров и теплое пальто. Что касается обуви, У меня есть пара черных туфлей на плоской подошве, подходящих к моей школьной форме, пара кроссовок для спортивных занятий, и пара сапог. Когда я была помладше, мне нравились повседневные джинсы и спортивная одежда. На данный момент, моя любимая одежда – это платья. Мне нравятся все виды платьев: летние сарафаны, платья треугольной формы, платья в горошек, кружевные или хлопковые платья и т.д. Я знаю, что джинсы с рубахой гораздо удобнее носить, но платья выглядят великолепно. Как я говорила, у меня есть только пара классических туфель без каблуков. По этой причине, я хотела бы ещё одну пару туфель под платья с невысоким каблуком и блестящими элементами.
