Speaker 1

Most people enjoy travelling but I don’t share their passion. The best holiday for me would be a quiet day when I can watch some films. I hate trains and crowds in the railway stations; I’m afraid of travelling by air; and I feel seasick when going anywhere by boat. What’s the point in travelling, I ask? Why suffer if you can see faraway places on TV?

Speaker 2

I’ve always dreamt about travelling. However, travelling is not as thrilling an adventure nowadays as it used to be. Travellers of the past risked their lives every minute. Nowadays, people travel with too much comfort. They can always find food and medical care. Of course, safety and comfort are not bad things, but to me, the old way of travelling is far more attractive!

Speaker 3

I like everything about travelling. I like staying in different places and visiting interesting sites. But what attracts me most is an opportunity to meet new people. It’s really wonderful that we can make friends with people who live right across the world. I’ve got lots of pen pals all over the world. We keep in touch via the internet. Meeting new friends makes life more diverse and exciting.

Speaker 4

I like travelling. Once, my parents and I were travelling by ship and we were caught in a storm. The waves were huge, and the captain insisted that all the passengers should stay in their compartments. The storm lasted for several hours. No one was hurt but now I can understand what travellers of the past felt when they were crossing the oceans on their little wooden ships.

Speaker 5

Nowadays people travel more often than they used to. If it goes on like this, soon it will take us almost no time at all to get from one continent to another. And I believe that travelling by air will be safer. The flying cars will become a popular form of transport pretty soon. They’ll be eco-friendly and fast. And it will be easy to visit friends who live all across the world.

Now we are ready to start.

Neil: Hi, Jess! I thought about going to the movies or to the park yesterday. I called you but nobody answered.

Jessica: Oh, sorry I missed it. It was Ronny’s birthday yesterday, and it was noisy there. I just didn’t hear you call.
Neil: Ronny’s birthday? I didn’t know about that. Was it fun?
Jessica: Oh yes! Ronny has just come back from France. He worked there for two months. And he talked a lot about it.
Neil: Worked in France? Why France? And what did he do there?
Jessica: He actually wanted to do a summer job to earn some pocket money. And he also wanted to travel. And he needed to practice his French as he’s going to university in two years time. That’s why he went there.
Neil: And what kind of job did he do? He’s not qualified for anything yet, is he? Too young.
Jessica: That’s right. But he was lucky. His family have good friends in France. And the friends needed an au pair for a couple of months.
Neil: They needed what?
Jessica: Not what but who. They needed an au pair. Au pair is a French word for a baby sitter.
Neil: Ronny… doing babysitting! I can’t imagine that!
Jessica: Neither can I. But he said he enjoyed it. The French family have a sevenyear- old boy and Ronny looked after him every day from 10 am till 2 pm. He taught him how to play football and how to play chess. And he also taught him a little English. The boy was delighted.
Neil: I’m not surprised. Every kid would wish for a babysitter like Ronny. It was really fun for the boy, I bet.
Jessica: It was. And after 2 pm Ronny was on his own. He said he made several friends there. And they went to Paris together every weekend. Ronny is crazy about football, you know, and once they even managed to see the French national football team playing against the Italian national team at the Stade de France stadium outside Paris!
Neil: Wow! Now I see why he enjoyed his summer. I wouldn’t mind doing babysitting myself if it gave me a chance to see the coolest teams and matches.

ЧАСТЬ 2

В2. Установите соответствие между заголовками A–F и текстами 1–5. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую букву только один раз. В задании есть один лишний заголовок.

A) Geographical position

B) Education

C) The famous town

D) State holiday

E) Pages of history

F) Sights

1) More than 80 percent of New Zealand’s population are Britons or Europeans. That's why the New Zealand school system is similar to the British one. Education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 16.The school year starts in January (after the summer holidays) and ends in December. In most schools wearing a school uniform is obligatory. For New Zealand teenagers daily life takes place in school where they stay up to the late afternoon.

2) Canada occupies most of the northern North America continent as well as some islands. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It's also washed by the Arctic Ocean in the north. The country was discovered in 1497 by John Cabot, an Italian sea captain. About 2% of the Canadian territory is covered with ice. The eastern part of the country is mainly valleys and plains. The western territories are made up of the Cordilleras.

3) Most Americans simply call the Independence Day the “Fourth of July”. It always falls on this day, and it celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies were involved in a war which had begun in 1775. The colonists were fighting for freedom from the English. The Declaration of Independence stated it clearly. For the first time in history the colonies were defined as the United States of America.

4) With great weather, great events and terrific crowds Australia Day in Melbourne in 2010 was one of the best ever! It is a day for all Australians to get together and, in whatever way they choose, celebrate being Australian. 1788 is when the British Fleet first arrived at Sydney Cove and lifted the British flag. Now, major cities throughout the country celebrate the national day with parades, free food, and different events.

5) Cambridge lies in East Anglia, about 50 miles north of London. The river Cam flows through it. It gets the name Cambridge from the river. It's a compact green city. There is always something to do and to see in the city: walk in the parks and gardens, visit museums and galleries, enjoy the festivals or relax in small cafés. The city is best known as the home of Cambridge University, one of the world's best universities. It was founded in 1209 and it consists of 30 colleges.
