Task 1: Listen to the audio & repeat the words

работать to work

отдыхать to rest

делать to do, to make

играть to play

читать to read

гулять to walk

слушать to listen

Task 4: Listen to the audio & repeat the collocations

много работать to work a lot

играть в футбол to play football

играть в теннис to play tennis

играть в компьютерные игры to play video games

читать книгу to read a book

слушать музыку to listen to music

делать отчёт to do a report

NOTE!

1) When you say ‘to play some sport/games’ in Russian, you need to use the construction “играть + в + [sport/game]”. 

2) In all collocations above, nouns are used in the Accusative case, which indicates the object of the action. As it was said in Unit 2, in the Accusative case, feminine nouns change their ‘-а’ ending to a ‘-у’ ending, while other nouns don’t change. That’s why ‘book’ and ‘music’ have ‘-у’ ending in collocations:

книга → читать книгу

музыка → слушать музыку

Listen to the audio to hear the correct answers
