3. a) Listen to the dialogue. Mark the stresses and tunes. Find sense-groups and sentences pronounced with intonation Patterns I, II; III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII. Say what kind of sentences they are used in. Define the attitudes expressed in them:


— Let's have tea in the garden, shall we?
— That's a good idea. Shall I take the table out?
— Yes, please. And the chairs too.
— Right. Where shall I put them?
— Oh, anywhere. I'll bring the tea.
— Good. We'll have the table here and the chairs here.
— Why have you put the table there?
— Well, you said anywhere.
— Yes, but you must be sensible. It'll be too hot there.
— Where shall I put it then?
— Bring it under the tree here. That's better.
— Now perhaps we can have some tea.
— Oh, dear. I'm sorry I've forgotten the sugar. Would you mind getting it for me?
— Not at all.
— Now where did I put the milk? Ah, here it is.
— Here's the sugar.
— Thank you. That's your cup.
— Thank you. This is very pleasant.
— It is, isn't it? But I'm a bit cold here. Do you think you could move the table again? I'm sorry to be a nuisance.
— All right. I'll put it back where it was. Is that better?
— Much. Where are you going?
— I'm going indoors. For a bit of peace and quiet.

b) Record your reading of the dialogue. Play the recording back for the teacher and your fellow-students to detect the possible errors. Practise the dialogue for test reading. Memorize and dramatize it.
