УСТНАЯ РЕЧЬ. ЗАДАНИЕ 3 — ИНТЕРВЬЮ. ARCHITECTURE AND ME.
1.
Interviewer: I suppose you’ll agree that a modern human being should be many-sided and well-educated. What do you think of architecture?
Student: As for me, I like art and especially architecture. You shouldn’t go to the museum; you just can walk along the streets enjoying music in stone as someone said. Architecture can influence people’s moods and emotions. Great buildings can evoke emotions as works of art usually do.
2.
Interviewer: What are your favourite architectural styles and why?
Student: I think I’m a great admirer of a gothic style. My parents love France and always take me to travel around it. France is one of the cradles of a Gothic style. When I first saw Notre Dame de Paris, I understood what real art is. Notre Dame de Paris is a perfect harmony. Some people like to discuss its architectural advantages. I just admire its towers, its open work rosettes, its unique vaults, its statues.

Interviewer: Have you ever considered pursuing a career in architecture or design?
Student: To my mind, a profession of an architect is very important. All people live in houses and architects have to work much to make a project and calculations. The house must be safe, many-functional and comfortable. It’s rather difficult to work at its design.
4.
Interviewer: Do you think it’s important for cities to preserve historical and architectural heritage?
Student: In my opinion, we must take care of old buildings and preserve them. They are the witnesses of the past. Not only books and papers can tell us about the past but also the buildings. We can see the places where our ancestors lived. All people who want to have future must know their history.
5.
Interviewer: What architectural masterpiece would you like to visit?
Student: I assume that there are a lot of architectural wonders but there is a town that we can call an architectural wonder and masterpiece. It’s Venice. I dream of visiting this town on water, it’s palaces and canals, cathedrals and churches. Besides, St. Paul’s Cathedral is a place which attract me too much.
