### In the lessons

In stories, adventures and spy books a rendezvous is a secret meeting place. In everyday life and safety, families agree a rendezvous point in case they get lost at a fair or a fire drill. In science and news it describes spacecraft meeting the space station. Phrases: «rendezvous point», «a secret rendezvous», «rendezvous with».
