Упражнение 12. Выучите диалог.

• 
  So this is her husband – Diego Rivera. She can’t have fallen in love with him for his looks, can she? Ha ha.
  
• 
  No, I reckon he must have been either very rich or very intelligent.
  
• 
  Actually, he was both highly intelligent and very rich. At first, Frida’s father was against her marrying Diego because he was a communist, but he finally agreed to it because he couldn’t pay his daughter’s medical expenses any more. Frida must have spent a fortune on doctors and operations over the years.
  
• 
  Oh, yes, what a terrible life – first polio and then that awful accident. It’s amazing she produced so many paintings, isn’t it?
  
• 
  Yes, she must have been an incredibly brave woman.
  
• 
  But the marriage didn’t work out too well, did it?
  
• 
  Well, it had its ups and downs.
  
• 
  She painted this one with the cropped hair while they were separated, didn’t she?
  
• 
  Yes, that’s right.
  
• 
  She really looks like a man here. In fact, she looks as if she’s got a moustache! And why was she dressed in a man’s suit?
  
• 
  I thought it might have had something to do with women’s liberation. You know – she cut off her hair to symbolize equality or something.
  
• 
  Er, no. The reason she cut off her hair and put on a man’s suit is because Diego Rivera loved her long hair, and also loved the traditional women’s Mexican dresses she used to wear. She did it to hurt him.
  
• 
  And why did they divorce?
  
• 
  Nobody really knows. Diego may have found out about Frida’s affair with Leon Trotsky, or it could have been Frida who was unhappy about Diego’s affair with an American film star. What we are sure about is that Frida was very unhappy about the divorce.
  
• 
  But they were back together by the time she painted ‘Roots’.

REVISION
A. Read the joke and use the verbs in brackets in the appropriate tense forms, active or passive.

Сomputer: man or woman?

A French teacher (to explain) to her college class that in French, unlike English, nouns (to designate) as either masculine or feminine. House is feminine "la maison." Pencil is masculine "le crayon."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher (to split) the class into two groups - male and female - and (to ask) them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group (to ask) to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group (to decide) that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender (la computer) because:

1. No one but their creator (to understand) their internal logic

2. The native language they (to use) to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes (to store) in long term memory for possible later review; and

4. As soon as you (to make) a commitment to one, you (to find) yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, (to conclude) that computers should be masculine (le computer) because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They (to have) a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They (to suppose) to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you (to commit) to one, you (to realize) that if you (to wait) a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women (to win).
В. Retell the jokes in indirect speech.

1. Dentist: Stop screaming! I haven’t touched your tooth yet.

Barry: I know, but you are standing on my foot.

2. What are two reasons why men don’t mind their own business? 1. no mind 2. no business.

3. Bill: Why the glum look?

Stan: I just don’t understand today’s world. My son wears an earring. My

daughter has a tattoo. My wife makes twice what I do.

Bill: So what are you going to do?

Stan: I’m going home to my father.

4. When he found a six-year-old shoe-repair ticket in the pocket of an old suit, Brown called the shop to see if the shoes were still around.

“Were they black wing tips needing half soles?” asked a clerk.

“Yes,” said Brown.

“We’ll have them ready in a week.”

5. Mother to daughter:

- What kind of person is your new boyfriend? Is he respectable?

- Of course he is, Mom. He’s thrifty, doesn’t drink or smoke, has a very nice wife and three well-behaved children.

6. An old woman from the country is visiting a big city for the first time in her life. She checks in at a smart hotel and lets the bell boy take her bags. She follows him but as the door closes, her face falls.

“Young man,” she says angrily. “I may be old and straight from the hills, but I ain’t stupid. I paid good money and this room won’t do at all. It’s short of what I expected. It’s too small and there’s no proper ventilation. Why, there’s not even a bed!”
