Mart May I speak to Fred?
Fred: Speaking. Is that Mark?
Mark: Yes, it's me. How are you?
Fred: It's OK. And how are you?
Mark: Fine. Are you free now?
Fred: Oh, yes. Why do you ask?
Mark: I know that you are very good at History. If it's not much of a trouble, can you tell me about the political system of the USA?
Fred: What exactly do you want to know?
Mark: Can I ask you several questions? I'm sure it'll be enough for my short report.
Fred: Yes, of course.
Mark: I know that the president is the head of the USA. Tell me please, what are his main functions?
Fred: Let me think for a moment. As far as I remember, he commands the armed forces, conducts foreign affairs, recommends laws to the Congress...
Mark: For how many years is the US President elected?
Fred: I know for sure — every four years.
Mark: By the way, would I be able to elect the President if I were American?
Fred: If I'm not mistaken, any citizen who is at least IS years old can vote.
Mark: What a pity! I'm sixteen.
Fred: Don't worry! You can elect the President of Russia.
Mark: OK. I think I have enough information for my short report. Thanks.
