Exercise 10. Read the dialogue and comment on the verb need. Follow the pattern in dialogues of your own. Nora: It really is a very nice house, Mrs. Brewer. Mrs. Brewer: The walls and woodwork will need painting, of course. Harry: Yes, we should want them painted, shouldn'twe, Nora? Perhaps a rather lighter colour. Nora: I'm glad there are plenty of cupboards, I need a lot of cupboards. Harry: I didn't notice a cupboard on the landing. Nora: Oh, that needn't worry us. I don't need a cupboard on the landing, when there's such a nice one in the bathroom. Harry: You must have somewhere to put the linen. Nora: Yes, but it needn't be on the landing — the one in the bathroom will do perfectly. Harry: It's a pity there's no garage. Mrs. Brewer: Do you need a garage immediately? —You could easily build one in the garden. Nora: Yes, Harry, need we worry about a garage now? After all, we haven't got our car yet. Harry: No, you're quite right, Nora. Now, is there anything else we need discuss with Mrs. Brewer? Nora: I don't think so. Harry: We must think it all over when we get home, Mrs. Brewer. Mrs. Brewer: Oh, yes, Mr. Parker, you needn't make your minds up at once. Matters like this need thinking over carefully. Harry: And now we must be going. Mrs. Brewer: Oh, need you hurry away? You mustn't go without having a cup of tea. I've got one all ready here. Harry: How very kind of you. Nora: But really, Mrs. Brewer, you needn't have gone to so much trouble. Mrs. Brewer: Nonsense, Mrs. Parker! What I always say is: if there's anything a woman needs after looking over a house, it's a nice cup of tea! I hope you'll take the house, and we'll just drink to the bargain — in tea. (From "Meet the Parkers") Exercise 11. Translate into English. 1. Я думаю, вам необязательно уходить так рано. 2.
