Usłyszysz dwukrotnie rozmowę z osobą urodzoną 29 lutego (ang. leapling). Zaznacz znakiem X, które zdania są zgodne z treścią nagrania (T – True), a które nie (F – False).

Transkrypcja nagrania:

Girl: Hi, Jack. Will you come to my birthday party?

Boy: Hi, Ann. The 1st of March, right?

Girl: Actually, no. I'm a leapling.

Boy: What's that?

Girl: You know what a leap year is, right?

Boy: Of course. A normal year has 365 days, and every four years we add an extra day. Oh, wait... That means you were born…

Girl: …on the 29th of February! And this year I'm organizing my party on that exact day.

Boy: Fascinating! I don't know any other leaplings.

Girl: Me neither. I know there's a club for people who were born on the 29th of February. I checked out their website once, but I didn't sign up and I haven't gone to any of their meetings. You know, it's sort of like being a twin. Maybe if you met another twin, you'd say, “Wow, you're a twin and I'm a twin.” But after that what would you talk about?

Boy: Well, you might be right, but I still think it's awesome! The date is so special!

Girl: It only sounds cool. Once, when I tried to send an online application for my Spanish exam the system didn't accept it. Can you imagine? I had to go in person to the language centre. Another problem is that social media don't inform anybody about my birthday when February ends on the 28th, so some people forget about my birthday and call me later to apologize. Fortunately, this year there is no problem. Anyway, you haven't answered my question. Will you come to my birthday party?

Boy: Sure! I'll be there!

Transkrypcja nagrania:

One. Keep it classic, keep it tasteful. This is a simple trick that will guarantee that you're one of the best-looking guys at the graduation ball. Don't make the mistake of wearing anything in a shiny, brightly coloured material. Instead, choose the powerful elegance of black and white. With just a few tasteful touches of colour on your tie you'll be an impressive alternative to your peers who are experimenting with more casual designs. A black suit is perfect for such an occasion. (adapted from realmenrealstyle.com)

Two. Adam is wearing black trousers by Paula Robins which he has matched with a leather jacket and bright yellow shirt made of silky material. The accessories he's chosen, a silver bracelet and a patterned scarf, go well with his outfit. It's Adam's first appearance here and he's brought his fan club with him for support. Let's give him a big cheer. Well done. Thank you, Adam. (adapted from archbalt.org)

Three. I'm sure a thing like that could happen to anybody. Yesterday, I was waiting for my mum to pick me up after school when I saw a woman wearing a long black coat. She was talking to my friend. I thought it was my mum because she had bought a coat like that the day before, so I ran up to her from behind and hugged her. And then the woman turned round and I realized it was my English teacher. I felt awful. I screamed, “Oh, sorry!” and ran away. (adapted from lookbook.nu)

Four. Don't you just hate it when you realize that you and someone else are wearing identical clothes at an event? But how about realizing your clothes match the floor? This happened to a young woman at a party after a fashion show. She discovered that the motif on her dress was exactly the same as the carpet she was standing on. But rather than run home for a quick change, she burst out laughing, lay down on the carpet and asked a photographer to take a few shots. (adapted from dailymail.co.uk)

The speaker

A. talks about an embarrassing mistake caused by identical clothing.

B. gives an opinion about a dress someone is wearing.

C. is a presenter at a fashion show.

D. describes an incident connected with a pattern on a dress.

E. suggests what to wear for a formal event.

People often jump into my taxi and then look blank when I ask them where they want to go. Some of them even get out without a word and leave their luggage or handbags behind. Last Sunday a young woman got in and I asked her where she wanted to go. She checked on her smartphone and gave me the address. I asked twice to make sure. When we finally arrived at the destination, she said it was the wrong place. I said, “That's where you wanted to go,” and I told her how much the fare was. She laughed in my face and got out of the taxi. I called the police and ran after her. I can't give free rides, you know.

Woman: Mr Palmer, you created the first British TV advertisement more than 60 years ago. What was the ad for?

Man: It was a toothpaste commercial. We wanted to show it was fresh and icy, so we put it in a block of ice.

Woman: Was the ad difficult to make?

Man: Not really, but we had one small problem. The studio lights were so hot that the ice started to melt when we were filming. To solve the problem, we decided to use a transparent plastic block instead. The viewers weren't able to tell the difference and we could work for as long as we needed.

C. THE WRONG MAN ARRESTED

D. PUNISHED BUT RESPECTED

E. INSPIRATION FROM FRIENDS

F. MORNING WALK ABOVE THE CITY

A DREAM COMES TRUE

4.1. On August 7, 1974, when Wall Street was waking up after a quiet night, a Frenchman called Philippe Petit put into practice the idea he had had for years. At sunrise, he stepped onto a steel cable and walked a few times between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. On the street below, thousands of people couldn't believe their eyes watching the tiny figure up in the air.

4.2. The Frenchman was an acrobat from Paris. In 1968, while waiting at the dentist's, Petit read an article about the construction of the twin towers in New York. He looked at the design of the towers and imagined himself on a cable, walking the 61-metre distance between them. He knew he would do it one day.

4.3. For the next few years, Petit worked hard on his skills to make his dream come true. In 1974, he flew to New York to put his plan into action. First, he observed the towers. Then, on the evening of August 6, Petit took a lift to the 110th floor of the South Tower. At the same time, his friends went up to the top of the North Tower. To make the morning walk on the cable possible, they worked together all night to set everything up.

4.4. The New York police arrested Petit after he had finished his walk. For breaking the law, Philippe had to give a charity performance for children in Central Park. However, for New Yorkers he became a hero who had done something incredible. The city authorities rewarded Petit by giving him a free lifetime pass to the observation deck on the South Tower. He was also asked to sign his name there.

A GAME AT HOGWARTS

The competitors walked out onto the pitch to a wave of noise.

“And here come the Gryffindors!” yelled Lee Jordan, acting as commentator. “Potter, Bell, Wood and the rest of the team!”

Lee's words were met with loud boos from the Slytherin end.

“And here come the Slytherins, led by Captain Flint. He's made some changes in the team.”

“Captains, shake hands!” said Madam Hooch.

Flint and Wood approached each other and grasped each other's hands tightly. It seemed that each was trying to break the other's fingers.

Have you seen pictures of Olympic medal winners receiving their medals and facing an army of photographers? When the lights flash, many of them grab their medals and take a bite.

Biting a medal is common practice which has become a tradition in sport. So, the next time you are at a sporting event, watch closely what the athletes do when they receive their medals.

About two years ago Eva Liparova, a theatre producer from London, got a contract in the USA and started to fly the London–San Francisco–London route regularly. After several 13-hour flights, she found it strange that on such a long journey people did not talk much to one another. Everybody watched movies, listened to music on headphones or played games on their smartphones. Liparova decided to do something about it. She boarded her next San Francisco flight with an empty notebook in her handbag, determined to ask people to write stories about themselves and share them with fellow passengers. She believed the stories could act as a natural icebreaker and would get them to talk.

Yet, this wasn't as easy as she had imagined, because at 30,000 feet she suddenly found herself suffering from stage fright. “When I think of it now, it was rather stressful, because it took me about four hours to gather the courage to walk up to the first person!” she says with a laugh. But eventually she did. She handed the notebook to a woman sitting in the first row. Inside the notebook, there was Eva's short introduction, a story, and her question. She also gave a set of instructions:

  1. Read the last entry in this notebook and answer the question below it.
  2. Write your own story and ask a new question.
  3. Pass the notebook to the passenger next to you.
  4. Before landing, return the notebook to Eva (seat 42E). Recommended: sign with your seat number and leave your email.

It took hours until the last person returned the notebook to Eva. In total, 33 people answered the questions and wrote their stories. Some were more personal than others, including entries about honeymoons, babies and marriage proposals. Eva noticed that where the notebook had been passed, the passengers started talking to each other more. She was very happy about that. Her only regret is that few people left their emails in the notebook and only one of them, Flossie, answered Eva's message. Eva hopes to find the rest of the people through social media and show them what they all created in the clouds. Eva would like to do her project again, but this time she wants to make sure that the people who decide to take part in it get the chance to read all the stories before landing.

Eva came up with her plan because

  • A.

    she needed new topics for her work at the theatre.

  • B.

    she wanted passengers to interact more during the flight.

It took hours until the last person returned the notebook to Eva. In total, 33 people answered the questions and wrote their stories. Some were more personal than others, including entries about honeymoons, babies and marriage proposals. Eva noticed that where the notebook had been passed, the passengers started talking to each other more. She was very happy about that. Her only regret is that few people left their emails in the notebook and only one of them, Flossie, answered Eva's message. Eva hopes to find the rest of the people through social media and show them what they all created in the clouds. Eva would like to do her project again, but this time she wants to make sure that the people who decide to take part in it get the chance to read all the stories before landing.
