2) Listen to the dialogue twice and answer the questions:

¿Qué planes tienen los chicos para este viernes?

¿A dónde quieren ir después de las compras?
¿Por qué no van a ir a una discoteca?

3) Read the dialogue and find the answers to the questions that caused you difficulty: 

– ¿Qué haces este viernes? ¿Quieres ir de compras? Ya empiezan las rebajas…
– Termino el trabajo a las 7. Si quieres ir por la tarde, estoy de acuerdo.
– ¿A qué centro comercial vamos? ¿Al Parque Sur? Está cerca y las tiendas no son muy caras. Me gusta.
– A mí también. Además allí hay un cine. Podemos ver alguna película.
– La verdad es que no me apetece. El viernes por la noche prefiero salir de fiesta. ¿Vamos a alguna discoteca?
– Sabes que no me gustan las discotecas ni la música muy alta, además no sé bailar. ¿Por qué no tomamos una copa en algún bar de moda? Sabes, algo especial, no un típico bar de barrio.
– Me parece genial.

Звичайний українець.

Dubai has begun work on a new $35 billion airport terminal that will become the world's busiest when it's finished, according to the state's ruler.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said that the new terminal at Al Maktoum International airport will one day handle up to 260 million passengers per year.

But if that sounds like a travel nightmare, the CEO of Dubai Airports has different ideas. Paul Griffiths said that at the 400-gate airport there will be less walking, less waiting and no queues.

Griffiths said that airports around the world have gotten lazy and this one will change the way airports work.

His plan includes having security and passport checkpoints spread out around the terminal to save people time.

But 260 million is a lot of passengers. It's more than double the number that used the world's busiest airport in 2023. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, handled 105 million passengers last year.

Dubai International Airport (DXB), the state's main airport at the moment, was second in that list with 87 million passengers.

However, all of that traffic will move to Al Maktoum over the next few years, according to Sheikh Mohammed.

Al Maktoum, which first opened in 2010, will be five times bigger than DXB when it's finished.

It's not only at the airport that building is taking place. Sheikh Mohammed said that an "entire city" will be built in the area around the airport, with homes for a million people.

"Dubai will be the world's airport," he said on X, and the world's "new global center."
