Notes on style

  • Publicistic style has a combination of distinctive features. Among them we find first person narrator who always manages to convert the reader to his point of view. I saw, I visited, I thought... Find in the text the sentences where first person narration is employed to achieve this stylistic device.

    1. Give a summary of the text, dividing it into several logical parts.

    2. Use the phrases and word combinations and act out dialogues between:

    1. A guide and an American tourist planning the itinerary of the latter's stay in Moscow.

    2. Two journalists in the lobby after a press-conference discussing their impressions of the new atmosphere in Moscow.
