Ответ:

Alesya: How was the concert last night, Natalie?

Natalie: It was brilliant! I just love live concerts!

Alesya: Did you go there alone?

Natalie: No, I went there with my elder sister.

Alesya: Oh, really?

Natalie: Yes, it was quite a new experience¹ for her. She’s into classical music, you know. Violins, cellos ...

Alesya: So, did she like the concert?

Natalie: She did. She said it was more emotional and expressive than the music she usually listens to and, of course, much louder. But I have to say, the sound wasn’t very good at the beginning. In fact, it was the worst beginning of a concert that I had ever been to.

Alesya: Why so?

Natalie: It started later than it had to. There was a problem with electricity [ıˌlek'trısəti], I guess. We had to wait for about half an hour before the band started to play. There were so many people around us that I couldn’t see the stage² well. My sister could see even less, you know. She isn’t very tall, so we had to look for a better place to see the stage and listen to the music.

Alesya: And what about the concert itself?

Natalie: It was a huge success³, I would say. Green Day play real rock, and they do it as no one else can do. They work very well together. My sister said she’d never heard anything more energetic. And you know what?

Alesya: What?

Natalie: She asked Dad to buy her a bass guitar! She says she now wants to play louder and louder.

Перевод:

Алеся: Как прошел вчерашний концерт, Натали?

Натали: Он был великолепным! Я просто обожаю живые концерты!

Алеся: Ты ходила туда одна?

Натали: Нет, я ходила туда со своей старшей сестрой.

Алеся: О, правда?

Натали: Да, для нее это был совершенно новый опыт¹. Она увлекается классической музыкой, знаешь ли. Скрипки, виолончели...

Алеся: Так ей понравился концерт?

Натали: Да. Она сказала, что он был более эмоциональным и выразительным, чем та музыка, которую она обычно слушает, и, конечно, намного громче. Но должна сказать, звук в начале был не очень хорошим. На самом деле, это было самое худшее начало концерта, на котором я когда-либо была.

Алеся: Почему так?

Натали: Он начался позже, чем должен был. Думаю, была проблема с электричеством [ıˌlek'trısəti]. Нам пришлось ждать около получаса, прежде чем группа начала играть. Вокруг нас было так много людей, что я не могла хорошо видеть сцену². Моя сестра видела даже меньше, знаешь. Она не очень высокая, поэтому нам пришлось искать место получше, чтобы видеть сцену и слушать музыку.

Алеся: А что насчет самого концерта?

Натали: Я бы сказала, это был огромный успех³. Green Day играют настоящий рок, и они делают это так, как никто другой не может. Они очень хорошо работают вместе. Моя сестра сказала, что никогда не слышала ничего более энергичного. И знаешь что?

Алеся: Что?

Натали: Она попросила папу купить ей бас-гитару! Говорит, что теперь хочет играть громче и громче.
