· FOUR FURIOUS FRIENDS FOUGHT FOR THE PHONE
3. IDIOM
Next day, mother took Julie to a clothing store. They had to buy some new clothes. Julie was annoyed and didn’t want to try on many of the things her mother wanted her to. She was saying T-shirts were too tight, or jeans didn’t suit her, or trainers had laces to do up. They were just excuses. Actually, she couldn’t help thinking of Jessie, who might look great wearing those clothes. She imagined Alex smiling at Jessie and taking her to the river, and all thoughts turned upside down in her head. She heard her mother telling a shop assistant that she was at an awkward age and had a chip on her shoulder. Julie understood, but just couldn’t help it. She was missing Alex and very jealous of him.
· A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER / агрессивность, раздражение, недовольство, вожжа попала под хвост, постоянно чем-то недоволен (-а).

♦ GIRLS SHARING GOSSIP ABOUT A PARTY
A: Some of our girls, Jessica and Dolores, had really dolled themselves up1. They were in such weird get-ups2: masks, flickering tops, long gloves. It looked as if they thought it was a fancy-dress party!
B: Oh, really? Why did they dress like that3? Well, and what did you wear?
A: Well, it wasn’t easy. I wanted to put on my little violet gown, but I had trouble getting into4 it. Damn, I’ve put weight on. I’ll have to get my aunt to let it out, or else lose some weight! I didn’t give up and tried my best, so I eventually squeezed into5 it. I looked so terrible in the mirror, though, and I just took it off again, pulled on a boring old T-shirt and slipped on my old jeans.
B: Oh, it’s not so bad. I think you look OK in them.
A: Thanks! Well, some girls had their T-shirts all creased as if they didn’t have time to iron them. Julie told me she just smoothed hers down6 with her hands. She had the wrong shoes on too. To me she looked like a misfit, you know, as if she was wearing cast-offs7! But no one really cared. When the music started, we all flung our shoes off8 to dance anyway.

♦ A LOCAL CALL
An old Russian immigrant, feeling he didn’t have long for this world, decided to visit his homeland one last time and stay with a distant cousin living just outside Moscow. Together, they drank whiskey & vodka and joked about the good old days.
The old American boasted to his cousin that he could call anywhere he liked from America, even Hell if he so pleased. His cousin replied that this could even be done in Russia, so gave him a telephone. The old American looked the number up1 in his diary and dialed it. Soon, the call was answered:
Operator: ‘Hello….This is Hell….How can I help you?»
Old American: «Is that the operator? No? Cerberus? I can’t hear very well – there’s barking on the line. Can you speak up2? What company is this? No matter – put me through3 to the chief, please. Tell him it’s Jimmy from the USA calling!»
Operator: «Please, hold on4 and I’ll put you through… (waiting) I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, but I’m afraid, Mr. Satan is very busy at the moment. However, we can see that you’re going to visit us soon, so would you like to make a reservation? We can put you up5 directly on your way to purgatory…»
Old American: «No thanks, not this time – not quite ready yet. Tell Mr. Satan I’ll call him back6 later on. Goodbye!»
The old man hung up7 the phone and turned to his cousin: «You know, last time this call didn’t work from my house in Iowa. The line was breaking up8 and I seemed to be hanging on9 for ages, so I cut the call off10. This time the connection was great with no delays – fantastic!»
Next morning, a postman delivered the phone bill. The old American opened it and was once again surprised.

His Cousin (grinning): «Yes, but in the USA it’s long-distance… from Russia it’s just a local call!»

♦ HELP ME GET BY FOR A WHILE, PLEASE
Hi Rob,
How are you coping financially this term? Could you lend me some money to bail me out1, please? I failed to pay my fees last week; I’d gone through2 a huge amount of money for games. I couldn’t imagine I’d run out of3 it so quickly. Last year, my parents coughed up4 1k without a problem. But this time, no chance. I didn’t goof off5 for the whole term, I had A grades, and now I am just lacking the money to go on. If you could help me, I guess I’d work off6 the debt during the holidays. A friend of mine helped me get a job in her parents’ café. But it’ll take some time to earn money. So I hope you’ll help me to get by7 for a while until I get a more stable income.
Love,
Jessie
