Приве́т! Я О́льга. Я журнали́ст. Сейча́с я опа́здываю в аэропо́рт. У нас есть но́вый колле́га. Его́ зову́т Анто́н. Он бу́дет рабо́тать у нас в газе́те. Мне сказа́ли, что он немно́го говори́т по-ру́сски.
Сейча́с он ждёт меня́ в аэропорту́. Я е́ду на маши́не. Но на доро́ге, как всегда́, про́бка.
Маши́ны не дви́гаются! Дава́йте, я спешу́! Бо́же мой. Я не люблю води́ть маши́ну в Москве́!

Hi! I’m Olga. I’m a journalist. Now I’m running late for the airport.
We have a new colleague. His name is Anton. He will work with us in the newspaper.
They told me that he speaks some Russian. Now he is waiting for me at the airport. I’m driving my car. But on the road, as always, there’s a  traffic jam. The cars don’t move! Come on, I’m in a hurry! Oh my God. I don't like driving in Moscow.

嗨！ 我是奥尔加。 我是个记者
现在我去机场要迟到了。
我们有个新同事 他叫安东
他将在我们报社工作。
他们告诉我他会说俄语
现在他在机场等我。
我在开车。 但在路上，一如既往，有交通堵塞。 车根本不动！ 快，我赶时间！
哦，我的上帝。 我不喜欢在莫斯科开车。

Salut! Je suis Olga. Je suis journaliste.
Maintenant je suis en retard pour l'aéroport.
On a un nouveau collègue. Il s'appelle Anton.
Il travaillera avec nous dans le journal.
Ils m'ont dit qu'il parlait un peu russe.
Maintenant, il m'attend à l'aéroport.
Je conduis ma voiture. Mais sur la route, comme toujours, il y a un 
embouteillage. Les voitures ne bougent pas! Allez, je suis pressé!
Oh mon Dieu. Je n'aime pas conduire à Moscou.

Amanda: Hi Maria!
Maria: Oh, hi Amanda.
Amanda: You look a bit worried, are you all right?
Maria: I’m exhausted. Yesterday’s homework took me all evening. It’s probably going to double next year, isn’t it?
Amanda: Probably. My older brother has to write long essays for his English literature course. But we’ll have fewer subjects to study. Have you chosen your courses yet?
Maria: No, when’s the deadline?
Amanda: We have another month, but the school emailed us all the list the other day. I have it on my phone.
Maria: Ooh, let’s have a look, then.
Amanda: Here it is. Oh, look, the Spanish and biology timetables clash. I won’t be able to do both.
Maria: Would you do that, though? Languages and science don’t go together, do they?
Amanda: Well, you wouldn't think so, but actually, my aunt is a research scientist, and a lot of European universities work together on projects. She’s working on a project with a university in Rome, one in Germany, and one in Portugal.
Maria: Is it a biology project?
Amanda: No, she’s a chemist. They’re working on a solution to clean up deadly pollution in rivers and lakes.
Maria: That sounds so cool and really fascinating.
Amanda: It really is. She gets to visit colleagues in different cities sometimes, and she gets her work translated into lots of different languages. She wishes she had learned some German, though, so she could communicate better with her German research partners. She understands Portuguese and Italian, but German, not so much.
Maria: When did she learn Portuguese and Italian?
Amanda: I think she did some of her university degree in Lisbon and some in Rome.
Maria: Studying chemistry in different languages?
Amanda: Yes, she loved it!
Maria: So, you’re kind of following in her footsteps, then. Science and languages. You could be a biologist in Spain.
Amanda: Yep, or at least study there, or South America.
Maria: So, what are you going to do about the timetable clash?
Amanda: I think I’ll talk to the dean.
