B: I agree. I think they specifically show the relationship between bosses and employees.

A: The job in picture one looks very difficult for the employees, but the boss is clean and happy.

B: Yes, it’s a big contrast to picture two, when the boss is equally dirty as his staff. What job is shown in picture three?

A:

B:

Dialogue 2

A: I think that these pictures are all about poverty, don’t you?

B: Yes, they’re quite depressing. Everyone looks very poor, and perhaps in third world countries.

A: But it’s not clear if they’re in Asia or Africa, because the people are all mixed race. There are even some European looking people in picture three.

B: On the other hand, perhaps they are all in Europe. They are perhaps slums in different European cities.

A:

B:

Both pictures show animals eating.

On the other hand, only one is in color.

Both pictures are about animals.

I think the common theme here is pet care.

In contrast, the animals in the second image look very ill.

I hate wet and reiny days.

It rained a lot in 1816.... a lot - like everyday; the weather in Europe was abnormally wet because it rained in Switzerland on 130 out of the 183 days from April to September. If I was Mary Shelley I might decide to write a book too. Afterall, it was the onnly thing you could do without TV or anything. She said that she "passed the summer of 1816 in the environs of Geneva...we occasionally amused ourselves with some German stories of ghosts... These tales excited in us a playful desire of imitation" So, people were stuck inside and bored. Mary Shelley decided to write a book becuase it was so awful outside. I can totally see her point, you know? I guess I would write a novel if there was nothing else to do.

I’ll have to make some shopping after work.

He always does the same mistakes.

Naučit se správně používat slovesa make a do není zdaleka tak jednoduché, jak si cizinci představují. Jetřeba si zapamatovat tyto hlavní body.

1 Sloveso make často naznačuje, že jde o vytvoření nebo sestrojení něčeho.He made a resume of the novel for me, but I lost it. John has made a superb sailboard.

2 Do vyjadřuje činnost blíže neurčenou, míněnou obecně.What are you planning to do this summer? I’ll have to do something about my French or else I’ll fail.

3 Sloveso do používáme, když mluvíme o nějaké (pracovní) činnosti. I’ll have to do some shopping after work. Have you done your homework yet? – No. Mum told me to do the washing-up first.

4 V ostatních případech neexistují bohužel přesná pravidla – vládne v nich idiomatika. He always makes the same mistakes.

Jako nepatrná pomoc poslouží snad jen skutečnost, že jste-li na pochybách, bude lépe, když zvolítesloveso make; vyskytuje se totiž ve více obratech než sloveso do. Jediné a účinné řešení však bude zapsatsi a naučit se různá idiomatická spojení, a navíc mít dobrý slovník.
