3. Reconstruct the text “Cybernetics” into a dialogue.

The main rules governing a conversation in English:

The person who asks questions in a conversation usually controls it. Personal questions should be expressed tactfully.

Add new phrases to the previous ones:

Let’s be realistic about this plan/suggestion, etc.

I / we / you have got to think of other sides of this problem as well.

I think it would be reasonable / well-grounded / good, etc. if we discussed your suggestion in detail.

That’s completely irrelevant/off the point. We’re talking about another problem.

Perhaps we could go back to the main point.

Could you stick to the subject/point, please?

That’s very interesting, but I don’t think it’s really to the point.

4. Annotate the text in English. Use the phrases:

I.

II.

III.

5. Discuss the statements given below:

That’s right.

Exactly. Certainly.

I fully agree to it.

It’s wrong, I am afraid. Quite the reverse.

The definition is inappropriate.

1. Cybernetics is the means of studying the analogues existing between machines and living creatures.

2. Cybernetics is the fantastic world of the future peopled by robots and electronic brains.
