Now we are ready to start.

Speaker A

I am not much of a cinema goer but I do enjoy a good film. I usually buy a film online and watch it at home. I’ve got a wide screen TV and a projector. Sometimes, if I am in the mood, I use it. You feel as if you were in the cinema but I find it a bit cozier on my sofa. It’s also a lot cheaper to watch films at home. If I invite some friends, they bring popcorn and drinks and then you really can’t tell the difference.

Speaker B

The cinema is my life. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to become an actress. I would watch all the new musicals and children’s films and dream of playing the leading parts. When I was in my last year at school, I took acting classes to prepare for the New York Theater and Cinema Academy. After graduating, I auditioned at the Academy and got in! It was the happiest moment of my life, even more so than getting an Oscar two weeks ago!

Speaker C

Books are much more fun than films. I know most film directors want to make a film out of some classical book but so often the film versions don’t turn out well. At least to my taste. When you watch a film you are forced to believe what you see and when you read a book, you can imagine the characters and have your own personal experience with the plot. Watching a film just doesn’t trigger your imagination the way reading does.

Speaker D

I can’t remember the last time I was at the movies. I think it was the day I broke my arm. Crazy as it may be, I broke my arm going to see a new film. My girlfriend had asked me to go to the cinema with her, so I bought the tickets for Friday night. We were meeting inside the Star Cinema. It’d been raining hard and the pavement was very wet. I was five minutes late for my date, so I hurried up the stairs and slipped. The last thing I remembered was the terrible pain in my arm.

Speaker E

I never miss a new film. I have a notification sent from the local cinema to inform me about any change in their shows. They change the schedule once every two weeks, so I go to the cinema every other week. Our local cinema is rather small, so they show two or three films at a time. Sometimes I watch a film every day for three days in a row to see all that’s new in the market. It does get expensive sometimes, but it’s worth it, the way I see it.

Speaker F

The theatre has more of an appeal to me than the cinema. I would go to see a play more often if they had more theatres around where I live. Local theatre companies have only two shows a year and that doesn’t satisfy my appetite, so I travel to London to see different shows may be once a month or so. Seeing real three-dimensional people on stage is a lot more interesting than watching them on the screen. I love watching actors’ facial expressions and the interaction between them.

Alice: Hey, Tom! Long time no see, how are you?

Tom: Alice, what a pleasant surprise! I am doing great, what about yourself?

Alice: I’m well, too. What have you been doing all this time?

Tom: Well, I’ve been studying at a boarding school in Oxford.

Alice: Wow, it’s not the famous one for boys, is it?

Tom: Yes, that’s the one.

Alice: How do you like it? How is it different from our old school?

Tom: I like it ok. The studies are very rigorous (/ˈrɪɡərəs/ тщательный, строгий, скрупулезный). We have five classes a day before lunch and four after we eat. Of course, one of the classes each day is a sport but it’s still a rather hard day.

Alice: Sounds intense, if you ask me. Do they give you homework, too?

Tom: Well, some. We usually have reading for our lit classes and homework in foreign languages – some vocabulary learning and grammar exercises.

Alice: How many foreign languages are you studying?

Tom: Two modern languages and Latin. You have a choice of foreign languages: French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. Latin is compulsory.

Alice: Which ones are you taking right now? I think I’d go for Arabic and Chinese since those are really popular these days.

Tom: I am studying Chinese and French. You see, my Dad has a business in France, so if I ever decide to follow in his steps, I’ll definitely need French. And Arabic, as you say, is very popular nowadays.

Alice: With all that studying do you ever have fun? Have you made any good friends?

Tom: Of course, I have! I’ve got a small circle of close friends, three boys we hang out with. At weekends we have some free time to play games, go for walks or into town.

Alice: That’s good. What do you do when you go into town? I’ve been to Oxford and there isn’t much to do there it seems.

Tom: Are you kidding? There is a nice cinema complex there and a shopping centre. There are also some nice coffee shops and cheap restaurants. There is one coffee place that has a poetry contest every Saturday night where anyone can have stage time to recite their poetry. So, we do that with friends.

Alice: Are you serious? You recite poetry for fun? You even write your own poetry? That’s pretty amazing. You were always into books, so I guess this school is a good match for you.

Tom: It really is. I’m rather happy here. The only drawback is that I don’t see my parents during the term, only on holidays and sometimes they come up to see me at weekends.

Now we are ready to start.

Presenter: Good evening everyone. We are happy to welcome you to our weekly program “Animal world”. Today is a very special day as we have a great opportunity to hear from an amazing woman who knows a lot about wild life and wild animals. Sarah Thomas, it is very good to see you today. Thank you so much for coming.

Sarah: Hello, it is good to be here, thank you for inviting me.

Presenter: So, before we start talking about your experiences with the animals, let me ask you how it all started. Where were you born and were you interested in animals from childhood? How did it all start?

Sarah: Well, I was born in London and my fascination with animal behavior began in early childhood when we moved to York. We lived in a cozy thatched cottage in the most picturesque part of the city and in my leisure time, I observed native birds and animals, making lots of notes and sketches, and I also read a lot in the area of zoology. From an early age, I dreamed of traveling to Africa: I was eager to observe exotic animals in their natural habitats.

Presenter: We know that your dream came true and that you spent quite a bit of time in Africa.

Sarah: Yes, when I was 18 I left school and got a job as a secretary at Oxford University. In my spare time, I worked at a London-based documentary film company because I wanted to make some money for my trip to Africa. One day, completely out of the blue, my childhood friend invited me to visit Kenya, and so I did. There I met an anthropologist Thomas Wild who wanted to perform a study about chimpanzees to see if it would throw more light on evolution. You know, some of my friends and relatives thought that was a crazy idea because I had no college education to do these studies but Thomas believed I had the right kind of character to be able to live in the wild for a long time. Since it was actually my childhood dream, I agreed. That was my very first attempt to study the monkeys. Unfortunately, it wasn’t successful.

Presenter: Did you try again, then? I know you have written several books and filmed a few documentary films about your experience with the chimpanzees.

Sarah: That’s true. I started all over. In 1960 I went to Africa again together with my mum and an African cook. We established a camp on a lake shore. Can you imagine: crystal clear water, sand banks … Anyway, it took me two long years to get close to the monkeys, to the point when they allowed me to be a part of their group.

Presenter: Two years! You’ve got more patience than I have! How did you make them like you in the end?

Sarah: Bananas! For two years I offered them bananas until they actually began to accept me as their own. I came to the same spot every day at the same time and fed them bananas. After one year they stopped running away, after the second year they allowed me to climb trees with them and eat their food.

Presenter: What? Are you serious? You climbed trees with the chimps? That was probably lots of fun!

Sarah: You bet! (Еще бы!) I had to learn to use my arms and legs like never before. It only looks easy when you observe the animals. We as people are very limited in our abilities to use our limbs: our legs and arms aren’t designed to hang onto tree branches and plant leaves. The monkeys, on the other hand, don’t even have to think about what they are doing when they move. So, there was a lot I had to learn not to fall off those tall trees. That was a real challenge!

Presenter: Was it all worth it, though?

Sarah: Definitely, I still think of that time as one of the best periods of my life. I got so close to these animals that I was able to understand them. I was able to experience what it is like to be inside an animal world.

A Shoe Shop Story

21st century skills comprise abilities, and learning dispositions that have been identified as being required for success in the modern-day society and workplaces by educators, business leaders, academics, and governmental agencies. This is part of a growing international movement focusing on the skills required for students to master in preparation for success in a rapidly changing, digital society.

A. Acid rain moves easily, affecting locations far beyond those that let out the pollution. As a result, this global pollution issue causes great debates between countries that fight over polluting each other’s environments. The problem is that acid rain, one of the most important environmental problems of all, cannot be seen. Some scientists think that human production is primarily responsible, while others cite natural causes as well.

B. Air pollution has many disastrous effects that need to be curbed. In order to accomplish this, governments, scientists and environmentalists are using or testing a variety of methods aimed at reducing pollution. There are two main types of pollution control. Input controls are usually more effective than output controls. Output controls are also more expensive, making them less desirable to tax payers and polluting industries.

C. Global warming is called the greenhouse effect because the gases that are gathering above the earth make the planet comparable to a greenhouse. By trapping heat, the green house effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Current fears stem largely from the fact that global warming is occurring at such a rapid pace. Models are predicting that over the next century, the global temperature will rise by several degrees.

D. Individuals often throw out goods without realizing that they could be dangerous for the environment. No matter where people put these materials, there is always a chance that they could find their way into the ground, and eventually into our bodies. Special research is necessary to provide data on the effects of every chemical as well as to learn how combinations of these chemicals affect human health.

E. Only a few factors combine to create the problem of ozone layer depletion. The production and emission of CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons, is by far the leading cause. Many countries have called for the end of CFC production. However, those industries that do use CFCs do not want to discontinue usage of this highly valuable industrial chemical. So it’s important to make people realize the disaster CFCs cause in the stratosphere.

F. Unlike some environmental issues, rainforest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-New Guinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.

G. The world’s population has been booming for years. The population is now threatening to reach the stage where there are simply too many people for the planet to support. Greater populations pollute and consume more, ruining the environment and creating or intensifying a variety of problems. Also, with the food supply limited, the increase in population will make shortages in many parts of the world even worse.

Little Smoker

On 25 October 1881, a little boy was born in Malaga, Spain. It was a difficult birth and to help him breathe, cigar smoke was blown into his nose! But despite being the youngest ever smoker, this baby grew up to be one of the 20th century’s greatest painters – Pablo Picasso.

Picasso showed his truly exceptional talent from a very young age. His first word was lapiz (Spanish for pencil) and he learned to draw before he could talk.

He was the only son in the family and very good-looking, ___ (A). He hated school and often refused to go unless his doting parents allowed him to take one of his father’s pet pigeons with him!

Apart from pigeons, his great love was art, and when in 1891 his father, who was an amateur artist, got a job as a drawing teacher at a college, Pablo went with him to the college. He often watched his father painting and sometimes was allowed to help. One evening his father was painting a picture of their pigeons ___ (B). He returned to find that Pablo had completed the picture, and it was so amazingly beautiful and lifelike that he gave his son his own palette and brushes and never painted again. Pablo was just 13.

From then onwards there was no stopping him. Many people realized that he was a genius but he disappointed those ___ (C). He was always breaking the rules of artistic tradition and shocked the public with his strange and powerful pictures. He is probably best known for his «Cubist’ pictures, ___ (D). His paintings of people were often made up of triangles and squares with their features in the wrong place. His work changed our ideas about art ___ (E). Guernica, which he painted in 1937, records the bombing of that little Basque town during the Spanish Civil War, and is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of modern painting.

S: Hi, Jim. How are you getting on?

J: Oh, hi, Sandra, it’s so nice to see you. I’m OK, more or less.

S: You look so deep in thought. What’s up? Can I help you with something?

J: Actually, that might be not that bad of an idea. You know, it’s my sister Anna’s birthday next week.

S: Don’t I know it, we’re best friends.

J: That’s why I need your expertise. I really want to give her a good present, a really good one, but I don’t know, what I can give her.

S: Right. So you’ve stopped quarreling over every little thing, I’m happy to hear that.

J: Yeah, you know, all these conflicts were because of me. I’m a stubborn guy, you know, but I have finally realised I’ve been doing the wrong thing and I just want to say sorry.

S: Why don’t you just say so?

J: I have, it’s just I wanted to do something more to make up for my behavior. You know, she’s been grounded several times because of me, and staying at home for weeks is not a nice thing.

S: OK, it’s a good decision anyway. So how much money have you got?

J: Enough. I’d been saving pocket money. Besides, you know I have jobs now and then and I get paid.

S: I see. Well, she’s short on cosmetics and she’d be happy to get some. I can help you choose or you can just give her a gift certificate and she’ll go shopping herself.

J: No, I don’t think it’s a good idea. It won’t leave a lasting memory. Eventually she’ll throw these things away because they’ve expired or just finished.

S: Hmm. So maybe you can give her a collection of her favourite films or books or CDs? That would be a memorable present.

J: Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. The only problem is I don’t know which ones are her favourites and these shops don’t have gift certificates as a rule.

S: You forgot about me. I can go shopping with you or I can write a list and you’ll be fine shopping on your own.

J: I’d be grateful if you made up a list. Shopping can be time-consuming and you’ve already helped me so much. I don’t want to take up more of your time.

S: It’s not for you, it’s for my best friend, remember? Besides, I need to go shopping anyway. I’ve got to buy a present too.

J: OK, I give up on that, when shall we go?

S: How about tomorrow night?

J: Sounds good to me. Give me a ring, OK?

G) Anna managed to persuade Victor to register for the course of Dr Jones. FALSE

Victor: Hi, Anna. Have you registered yet?
Anna: Yes, I’ve just seen my adviser and I’m through. It’s easy now we register by computer. How about you?
Victor: Almost, but I don’t know who to take for history. I’m thinking about Dr. Smith. I hear he’s easy. Who’d you have for history?
Anna: Oh, Victor, take Dr. Jones. She’s terrific! I used to hate history, but I loved her course.
Victor: I hear she’s hard.
Anna: She knows that’s what students think. She told us she’s not hard, it’s understanding history that’s hard.
Victor: So what’s her course like?
Anna: Well, it’s not memorizing names and dates! She wants you to understand the processes that shape human communities so we can understand how the world got to be the way it is today.
Victor: Good Lord! What are her tests like?
Anna: There’s a test at the end of each unit, but before she begins a unit she hands out a review sheet with everything she might test on. She won’t ask any question on the test that’s not covered on the review sheet.
Victor: Hey, piece of cake!
Anna: Think so? One of the questions was “Explain how the process of industrialization differed in any two of the following countries: England, the United States, Germany, Russia.”
Victor: I’m not believing this! How’d she expect you to answer a question like that?
Anna: She spent a week talking about the process of industrialization in general. Then we spent a week in class applying that to the process of industrialization in England. After that she expected the class to take the initiative in analyzing the process in the other countries. By the time we’d gone through that, we could have explained what the Fiji Islands had to do in order to industrialize! And notice, Victor, whichever country we chose to write about on the exam, we had to pick the important names and dates from that country’s history.
Victor: Seems to me that’s expecting a lot.
Anna: Well, she said once, I don’t expect you to know everything; but I do expect you to know something.
Victor: Were the tests objective or essay?
Anna: The unit tests were mixed. There were some names, dates, and geographical locations tested with objective questions, but every unit exam had an essay question.
Victor: Did she count spelling and grammar and all that in the grade?
Anna: Yes, she said this is higher education and we’re expected to know how to write and spell.
Victor: Well, Anna, you’ve convinced me. Fm taking Dr. Smith for history.
Anna: Victor!
