### Разбор и объяснение
1. **Ex. 1a & 1b:** В английском языке названия общественных служб (*public services*) часто употребляются с предлогами: *at/to the post office*, *at/in a hospital*, *at a railway station*. При ответе на вопрос *What for?* (Зачем?) используется инфинитив цели (*to send...*, *to borrow...*).
2. **Ex. 2:** Для описания профессий и качеств используется схема:
$$\text{A/An [профессия] works in/at [место]. He/She needs to be [прилагательное], because/as [обоснование].}$$
*Обратите внимание:* со словом *nurse* (медсестра) или *doctor* (врач) часто используются слова *caring* (заботливый), *patient* (терпеливый); с полицейскими и пожарными — *brave* (храбрый), *fit* (в хорошей форме), *strong* (сильный).
3. **Ex. 3:**
* *stamps* (марки) делятся в Великобритании на *first-class* (первый класс — доставка быстрее) и *second-class* (второй класс).
* *single or return* — стандартный вопрос кассира на вокзале (билет в одну сторону или туда-обратно).
* *overdue* — термин для библиотечных книг, срок возврата которых истек.
* *scales* — весы (для взвешивания посылок на почте).
4. **Ex. 4:** Диалоги строятся на основе стандартных фраз вежливости (*I'd like to...*, *Could you please...*, *Certainly*). При диалоге в банке всегда уместны фразы про обменный курс (*exchange rate*) и заполнение бланка (*fill in a form*).
