Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 11 класс, Титул: 5 Role play: Conflict Resolution. We often face different problems dealing with our neighbours. Read these descriptions of two conflicts. Choose one of them and try to settle the conflict between the neighbours without applying to the court. • Make use of the tips (Ex. 4B and the Language Support box . Case 1. The Nikolaevs (a married couple and their 10-year-old son) live on the third floor of a block of flats. Their neighbours, the Troubnikovs, living directly above them are very careless about their taps and pipes, and water often comes through into the Nikolaevs’ flat, so that they have had to repair the ceilings and change the wallpaper. They have already had several arguments, but it didn’t help. The water which came through recently was the last straw, and the Nikolaevs are going to apply to the court for damages. Case 2. Dimitry Zelenov and his wife, Tamara Antonovna, are retired and live in a semi-detached house. Next door to them lives the Verbitsky family consisting of comparatively young parents, who work abroad most of the time, and their teenage children (Max, 18, and Katya, 16 . The teenagers have a nice time when their parents are away, inviting their friends, listening to hard rock at high volume and dancing all night long, which causes a lot of resentment in their neighbours. Now the Verbitsky parents are back home, the Zelenovs have made a last desperate attempt to persuade them to stop the noise, otherwise they will take them to court. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
Выполнение
One possible role play for Case 2:
Dimitry Zelenov: Good evening, Mr and Mrs Verbitsky. Thank you for coming. We wanted to talk about the noise from your house.
Mrs Verbitsky: Good evening. We are sorry if our children have disturbed you.
Tamara Antonovna: The problem is that the music is often very loud, and it goes on late at night. We cannot sleep, and it has become really difficult for us.
Mr Verbitsky: We understand your complaint. We were not aware that it was so serious.
Dimitry Zelenov: We do not want to go to court. We would prefer to settle this peacefully.
Mrs Verbitsky: Of course. We will speak to Max and Katya and ask them to keep the volume down, especially in the evening and at night.
Tamara Antonovna: That would help a lot. We are not against music or having friends, but the noise must not disturb the neighbours.
Mr Verbitsky: We agree. The children will be told to stop playing loud music after 10 p.m. and to be more considerate.
Dimitry Zelenov: Thank you. If the situation improves, we will be glad to leave it at that.
Mrs Verbitsky: Thank you for talking to us directly. We hope there will be no more problems.
Ответ
The neighbours agreed to solve the conflict peacefully: the Verbitsky family promised to keep the noise down, especially in the evening and at night, and the Zelenovs agreed not to take the matter to court if the problem was settled.
