It’s Friday evening. Denis (is walking) in the centre of Moscow to the metro station. He (is meeting) his friend Igor, who (is going) in the same direction.

Denis — Hallo, Igor. Where are you (hurrying) to?

Igor — I (am going) to my uncle’s place. I (go) there once a month to take the money which my father (sends) me.

D. — Why doesn't your father (send) it to you?

I. — He does not (want) to send it by post, as my father and my uncle’s son (work) together in the country, so my father always (gives) him some money for me.

D. — Shall we take a bus? I (see) that you (are limping).

I. — I usually (go) by bus. But today I do not (have) any money left.

D. — Oh, usually I do not (use) public transport very much. My mother (says) that I (am getting) too fat, so I (am trying) to take more exercise. And by the way, why are you (wearing) shoes that do not (fit)?

I. — They (are) new. And the left one (is rubbing) a lot, that’s why I (am limping).

D. — You can’t walk like that. Let’s take the bus. It usually (comes) at about this time.

I. — It (is coming) now, look. But I do not (have) any money.

D. — Well, do not (worry)! I can lend you some. Come on, do not (argue). The driver (is waiting) for us.
