Airport (Arthur Hailey) / Аэропорт на английском скачать (PDF, doc, txt, fb2, ePub, mobi)
Артур Хейли — настоящий мастер своего дела. Он умеет красочно и увлекательно описывать достаточно скучные, на первый взгляд, вещи — работу авиадиспетчеров или технологические процессы в сборке автомобилей. С первых же страниц читатель полностью погружается в атмосферу маленького аэропорта, который столкнулся с большими трудностями. Для изучающих английский эта книга представляет интерес как источник множества речевых ситуаций на рабочем месте: общение с клиентами, обсуждение проектов, решение проблем и т.д.

Tanya prompted, «That was when you threw the timetable?»
Patsy Smith nodded miserably. She looked as if she were going to cry again. «Yes. I don’t know what got into me, Mrs. Livingston… I threw it right over the counter. I told him he could fix his own flight.»
«All I can say,» Tanya said, «is that I hope you hit him.»
