Задание 1. Прочитайте, какую информацию о себе эти люди разместили на сайте знакомств. Скажите, с кем из этих людей вам хотелось бы познакомиться и почему.
a) Huber Marjer: I’m 28 years old and I live in south-western Sweden in an average town called Helsingborg. I love being with friends doing stuff and I’m up to most things without having to be told 3 months in advance =) I’m 184 cm tall and have a quite slender body type, but leaning towards athletic anyway. I have short dark-brown hair and blue eyes ;) I get on very well with most people and I’m not afraid of making contact with unknown people. My interests are partying, dancing, music, girls and fast sport cars (I have 2 cars myself, despite my friends keep telling me I can't drive both of them at the same time but it’s fun to change them). I am originally from New York City and since family is still there I visit them a few times a year. I am humorous, kind, caring, talkative, fit, fun loving.
b) Bruce: Let me introduce myself. My name is Bruce and I live in Rochester. I like having fun and meeting new people. I'm quite upbeat and like to smile. I'm polite with good manners. I guess you could call me a gentleman who knows how to respect a lady. I tend to be a little shy at first, until I get to know someone. I'm now writing a series of children's novels/stories for a film. They are similar to the «Harry Potter» series, except mine have much more adventure, and are also very educational. No witchcraft in mine. My child characters are Mystic Spirit Healers who travel the world as spirits, healing, and caring for orphans while having wonderful adventures, and fighting off evil forces. Also, there is no violence or death in my stories, as I think children get enough of that in real life, and on their video games.
c) Stephen: My city is Bayside which is just north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the United States. Milwaukee is located north of Chicago. Boating, working-out, running, biking, computer, theatre, movies, travelling are my hobbies. Recently discovered Latin Dancing. I have done extensive travelling in the past and hope to do more. This includes many of the states, (including Hawaii), Mexico, Latin America, the Caribean, England, France and even Russia and the Ukraine! For a vacation last year I spent some time in Moscow and some of the smaller cities to the south of Moscow. I'm currently learning to speak Russian. I had a lot of fun in Moscow! It's a beautiful city and the people there were friendly, and helped me with my language whenever I spoke Russian.
d) Sam Talker: I'm typified as the All American Boy: clean cut, clean living, congenial and I'm in the teaching field. I like to listen to various types of music from classical to soft music. I enjoy all things around me whether it is traveling, cultural events, or down to earth things as outdoor activities, walking, bowling, dancing, and quiet evenings.
e) Jean Pierre: My name is JP Lissage. Well, my passion is probably travel. I love to go to different places and see new things. I play around with my guitar sometimes. I am not really good at playing the guitar, but it gives me that «rock star feeling». My contact number it's 011-822-796 8772 home and my cell is 011-822-011-9671-3214 and my email is ltjeanpierre@yahoo.com. Anyone who cares can write to me!
f) Lenny: A little about me. My name is Lenny Welles. I live on a little farm. I like staying at home a lot because it is such the great place to be. But I kinda (slang — kind of) also like to go to the beaches and play. I grew up in the mountains of Tennessee so I always return there to visit family and friends and the mountains. I like simple life. Simple pleasures are the best… I hiking, canoe, fishing, doing wood art, pottery, playing golf, gardening lots.
g) Alan: My name is Alan. I listen to lots of kinds of music, but I prefer songs from Nightwish, a Finnish music band. For my choice of movies, well, also there I'm multi-talented, or whatever the correct word should be, I watch every kind of movie.... I always go to the cinema when a new one comes out, money ain`t (uneducated form of isn't) the problem... I'm not a party animal, as Holland gives discos and other places to be, but my friends come first, and I've got a lot of those...
h) Kurt: My name is Kurt Tellerson. Some info about me: I am 34, divorced 3 years ago, independent, Physically 1.73 m, 62 kg, dark hair and brown eyes, I am perfectly healthy and have no disabilities , I have no bad habits; My occupation is Doctor in Medicine, I live in Amsterdam / Holland. The weather is terrible, no sun just rain and wind most of the time. I consider myself as being successful in life, hard working, peace loving, honest, friendly, loving, romantic, non religious, tolerant, modern, attractive, with a good sense of humor, serious when it comes to work, responsible. I don't have a very active lifestyle, but neither am I one of those home guys all day long sitting in front of the TV set, I like to go out, specially with the right company, and I like to travel and see new places (as I can find time to do that), I like tennis and lately my interest to golf is beginning to grow, I have interest in IT, cars, and lately motorcycles.
