Kevin: Hi, Linda. Long time no see. How are you getting on?
Linda: Oh, hi, Kevin. I’m fine, thank you. How about you?
Kevin: The same. So, how was your trip to London? Did you enjoy it?
Linda: How do you know that I was in London? I don’t remember telling you that. In fact, I didn’t tell anyone except my parents. It was an absolutely spontaneous decision for me to go there.
Kevin: I dropped in at your place some days ago, as I wanted to invite you to go to the cinema with me. Your mother told me you were in London.
Linda: I see. Well, what can I say? London is fantastic. Every time I go there, I find something new to see, some more new places to explore, and some more new food to try.
Kevin: So what did you do in London?
Linda: The most exciting thing I did in London this time was to go on a city jogging tour.
Kevin: I’ve never heard of such tours. What are they like?
Linda: Basically, this is a six-kilometer running tour that stops off at many of London’s famous sites such as Trafalgar Square, the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.
Kevin: It seems to me this is a very memorable and healthy way to experience London.
Linda: I totally agree with you about that.
Kevin: Was it hard for you to go jogging for such a long distance?
Linda: Come on, Kevin. Six kilometers is a piece of cake for me. You know, I go jogging practically every morning in the local park, in any kind of weather. My normal distance is 10 kilometers, so the jogging tour was pretty easy for me.
Kevin: I see. Were there many people on that tour? I doubt it as this sort of tour doesn’t suit everybody.
Linda: There were about 30 of us. If there had been more people, it would have made the tour more difficult for the guide to lead, in my opinion.
Kevin: True. So what else did you do while in London? Did you take any other exciting tours?
Linda: One more tour I took was a movie tour around London. We visited different film locations in and around London. Our guides were all local actors and actresses. They were great storytellers.
Kevin: Did you see the locations for The Dark Knight?
Linda: Yes, I did. I also saw the locations for The Bourne Ultimatum, Pirates of the Caribbean, Part 4, and many others.
Kevin: I love those films, Linda. You’re so lucky.
Linda: Well, Kevin, you can take both of these tours next time you are in London. They are quite affordable, so please don’t think that they cost a fortune.
Kevin: That’s a good idea.
A. It was Linda’s first visit to London. → 2 (False).
Обоснование: Линда говорит: «Every time I go there, I find something new…» («Каждый раз, когда я туда приезжаю, я нахожу что‑то новое…»), что явно указывает на неоднократные поездки в Лондон.
B. Big Ben is Linda’s favourite place in London. → 3 (Not stated).
Обоснование: Биг‑Бен упомянут как одна из остановок бегового тура, но в диалоге нет информации о том, что это её любимое место.
C. Linda found the jogging tour exhausting. → 2 (False).
Обоснование: Линда отмечает, что для неё (как для опытной бегуньи) 6 км — лёгкая дистанция: «Six kilometers is a piece of cake for me…». Она не называет тур утомительным.
D. Linda thinks there were enough people on the jogging tour. → 1 (True).
Обоснование: Линда говорит, что в туре было около 30 человек, и добавляет: «If there had been more people, it would have made the tour more difficult for the guide to lead» («Если бы было больше людей, гиду было бы сложнее вести тур»). Это подразумевает, что текущее количество она считает оптимальным.
E. Linda liked the guides on the London movie tour. → 1 (True).
Обоснование: Линда хвалит гидов: «Our guides were all local actors and actresses. They were great storytellers».
F. Kevin has watched The Dark Knight many times. → 3 (Not stated).
Обоснование: Кевин спрашивает, видела ли Линда локации из «Тёмного рыцаря», но ничего не говорит о том, сколько раз он сам смотрел фильм.
G. The London tours Linda took are very expensive. → 2 (False).
Обоснование: Линда прямо говорит, что туры «довольно доступные» («They are quite affordable») и не стоят «целого состояния» («don’t cost a fortune»).
