- Tom, who is this good-looking, chestnut-haired young lady?

- Oh, it’s my sister.

- And who is this pretty girl with rosy plump cheeks and a turned-up nose?

- It’s her elder daughter, my niece.

- Well, you have such pleasant – looking relatives.

- Thank you.

- I say, Mike, what do you think of Mr. Black?

- As for me I don’t like him. He is envious, obstinate, selfish and rude.

- Really? Are you sure?

- Certainly. We work in one and the same office.

- Oh, John, there you are at last. I’d like to speak to you about our new manager. Is he always generous, kind and sociable?

- Be careful, Max. If you are for him, he is a very good man, but he can be aggressive, cruel and even cunning.

- What makes you think so?

- He is my distant relative.

- Я бы хотел увидеть Тома Брауна. Он здесь?

- Да, он здесь. Вот он стоит у окна.

- Но я вижу большую группу ребят у окна. Как он выглядит?

- Это темноволосый парень с голубыми глазами. Вы не ошибетесь.

- Ты знаешь, Том и Джейн собираются пожениться.

- Да? Но ведь они такие разные люди. Том – неуклюжий и застенчивый, а Джейн такая веселая и общительная.

- Ты очень плохо знаешь Тома. Он очень одаренный великодушный и хорошо воспитанный. И у него есть чувство юмора.
