Текст аудирования:
— You know, Brian, there’s one thing I haven’t done before going home: I haven’t been to the Tate Gallery.
— As far as I remember, you have some free time tomorrow afternoon. I can take you to the Tate.
— Can you? Oh, it would be lovely. I’ve always wanted to see Turner’s works in the original. There are no works by this artist in Russian picture galleries.
— The Tate is the right place for seeing Turner’s paintings. By the way, Olga, did you know that there are two Tate Galleries in London now?
— No, I didn’t. How come?
— In the year 2000 they divided the collection into the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern.
— In what way are they different?
— The Tate Britain includes the collection of English and foreign art up to the end of the 19th century. In its turn the Tate Modern has a collection of European and American painting of the 20th and 21st centuries.
— I see.
— As for Turner, the Tate Britain has a very large collection of his paintings. Personally, I prefer his later works: they have some mystery in them.
— Do you often go to the Tate Britain? Do you know it well?
— Not so often as I’d like to, but I try not to miss interesting exhibitions and every time I go there, I see some of my favourite pictures as well.
— What are your preferences? Do you like British or foreign artists ?
— It’s really difficult to say. I like to look at some paintings by Pablo Picasso and portraits by Modigliani. At the same time British artists like Sir Stanley Spencer or John Singer Sargent are among my favourite.
— Will you show me your favourite pictures tomorrow when we come to the Tate?
— With pleasure. Do you know that there are also some Russian paintings in the Tate collection?
— Is it really so? Russian avant-garde, I guess?
— Mostly. Artists like Larionov and Kandinsky.
— Brian, may I ask you something?
— Yes, Olga, what is it?
— What does the word “Tate” mean?
— Nothing. It’s just a name. It’s the name of the man who started the collection.
