Wypowiedź 1.2. (nagranie, kobieta): „I love taking my family on long road trips during the summer holidays. While we're travelling, my husband usually sleeps a lot, the kids play games or watch films, and I listen to music. I've got a high quality sound system in my car. If I get a bit sleepy when I'm behind the wheel, I put on upbeat songs and that always helps. I also stop regularly at petrol stations to get some coffee.” (na podstawie: silentbeacon.com)

Wypowiedź 1.3. (nagranie, mężczyzna): „Well, you see, it all begins when Olive learns that she has qualified for a beauty contest in California and her family sets off in their van to get her there. The main characters, played brilliantly by famous actors, include her anxious mother, her forgetful father, her naughty brother, and her funny uncle who always wakes up too late. Along the way, the van breaks down and they end up leaving Olive at a petrol station. And that's not the end of their problems! Believe me, the ending is quite surprising. Go and find out for yourself. I've already seen it twice.” (na podstawie: movies.fandom.com)

We were all so excited when we set off, and thought that we would reach our destination without any difficulties! But the first bridge we came to was too low for our vehicle. By the time we managed to turn around there was a huge traffic jam behind us and some drivers started shouting at us. I felt so embarrassed!” (na podstawie: thestreet.com)

Tekst 2. (nagranie, kobieta): „I'm sure you've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which take place every year. They were created to motivate consumers to spend lots of money on different products. However, there is another day called Giving Tuesday. On that day people are encouraged to do something good for others. It is held either on the last Tuesday of November or the first Tuesday in December. But the rule is that Giving Tuesday must always follow Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday was started on November 27, 2012. Believe it or not, on that day over $10 million was donated to charities. Apart from giving money, there are many other ways to take part in Giving Tuesday. If you're looking for ideas, some are suggested on the Giving Tuesday website. For example, you can do the week's shopping for an elderly neighbour or donate used clothing and toys to local charities. You can also do something good together with your friends. And to encourage other people to follow your example, you can share the different acts of kindness on your social media.” (na podstawie: dogonews.com)

Tekst 3. (nagranie, wywiad): Man: „We have a special guest in our studio today. Evelina De Lain – a professional pianist and… a record breaker. Welcome, Evelina. Can you tell our listeners about the record you broke?” Woman: „Hello, everybody. Well, I set the world record for performing the highest ever classical music concert. I played the piano 5,000 metres up in the Himalayas.” Man: „That's incredible. Where did the idea of doing that come from?” Woman: „Well, I didn't plan to do it. It just happened. One day, I went to a piano shop in London to buy a piano chair. There I saw a beautiful grand piano. It looked so incredible that I just sat down and started to play it. Desmond, the shop owner, told me about his project of organising piano performances in the world's most remote places. His next destination was the Himalayas and he proposed that I could play there. I had never thought about playing a piano that high up, but I felt honoured and… I agreed.” Man: „Was it difficult to play in the Himalayas?” Woman: „It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It was incredibly cold because of the height, but I'd come prepared, so the low temperatures weren't a problem. But at one point it was so windy that I thought I was going to be blown off my chair. And that was what I found most frightening and difficult.” Man: „And my last question. Do you have any thoughts you would like to share with our listeners?” Woman: „Actually, I do. You see, when I was 14, I lost the ability to move my hands. I sometimes doubted I'd be able to play the piano again, but after a lot of therapy, I got better. So, my story shows that sometimes what feels impossible is actually possible! The important thing is never to lose hope.” (na podstawie: independent.co.uk)

The project runs all year round, and you can join at any moment. The typical length of time a volunteer spends in Samoa is six months, but a shorter stay is also possible. The minimum period we require is three weeks. You don't need any professional childcare experience or qualifications. We will provide you with training, workshops and resources. Basically, you'll work at local care centres or kindergartens, where you will help teachers in their daily work by engaging in different activities like organizing sports. In Samoa, some diseases like diabetes are on the rise. This is mainly caused by unhealthy diets and a lack of exercise. So, you'll also be responsible for teaching children how to prepare healthy meals, so that they can share their knowledge with older family members.

They will welcome you into their home and you will have the chance to learn local customs and culture. Classes usually start at around 8.30 a.m. You cannot expect your host family to drive you to work in their car so you'll have to use public transport, which is safe and reliable.

A FAMOUS COVER PHOTO

4.1. In 1969, after the Beatles recorded their final album in a studio in Abbey Road, London, the band discussed what title they should give it. One suggestion was to call it Everest and have a photo session for the cover in the Himalayas. But that would require a long journey, so they soon rejected that title and decided on another idea, which was effortless and much more convenient. The band had a picture taken in the street outside the studio and called the album Abbey Road. The result has delighted fans ever since.

A FAMOUS COVER PHOTO

4.2. Even 50 years ago Abbey Road was not a quiet street, so the photographer had to do his job quickly. A policeman stopped the traffic at the zebra crossing for ten minutes, and the photographer climbed up a stepladder in the middle of the road. Then, the Beatles walked back and forth across the road three times, and a picture was taken each time they crossed. The best photo was chosen for the cover of the album.

A FAMOUS COVER PHOTO

4.3. When you look at the cover, you can see the Beatles on the zebra crossing walking away from their studio with Lennon leading them. Some fans see this as symbolic because he was the first member to leave the band. McCartney has no shoes on. It is said that he kicked them off because they were too tight. Harrison is not wearing a suit, unlike the other Beatles, as he always preferred to go his own way.

A FAMOUS COVER PHOTO

4.4. Millions of fans come to Abbey Road to have their photo taken on the iconic crossing. However, it should be remembered that Abbey Road is not just a tourist attraction. It's a busy road. If you want to walk across it like the four famous musicians and have your photo taken, you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting until there is a gap in the traffic. It's not as simple as you might think!

Tekst A – JOE'S TENNIS BLOG: „You've sent me lots of questions about tennis tournaments, so this week I'm going to focus on Wimbledon. […] The Wimbledon tournament sets the highest standards for tennis. An example of this is that all competitors must be dressed in white, and even cream clothes are not accepted. […] About 54,000 tennis balls are used during the Wimbledon tournament every year. They were also white until 1986, when the organizers decided to make a change. The white balls were replaced with yellow ones to make them more visible to people watching television.” (na podstawie: quora.com; maxim.com; evanevanstours.com)

Tekst B – THE OUTSIDER: „I first picked up a racket when I was about three. […] Back then, almost nobody hit the ball with a two-handed backhand, so when I first started playing, people said, 'You can't play like that.' The two-handed backhand has some advantages. […] When Chris Evert and I came on the scene, we both had two-handed backhands and we were winning everything. The two-handed backhand became the fashion and almost everyone started copying us.” (na podstawie: Jimmy Connors, The Outsider: A Memoir, New York 2014)

Tekst C – wiadomość Sandry do Johna: „Next week I'm going to my first ever tennis lesson. I'm a complete beginner, so I'm very nervous.

And after the tournament, visitors to Wimbledon can buy a can of three balls which were used by the players for just £3.” (na podstawie: reddit.com; evanevanstours.com)

Tekst D – TENNIS TRAINING CLUB: „Tennis improves your fitness. […] You can play at any level of skill and have fun. […] You can learn to play the game at any age.

He ended up buying some boxes of photos. After unpacking them at home, John discovered a few thousand pictures – in perfect condition and chronologically sorted. Many of them dated back to the 1950s–1980s. When Maloof realized they were not of value for his book, he put the boxes into a cupboard, and got on with his writing.

After his book was published, John thought again about the photos. He started looking through the collection and became fascinated by the photos and the person who had taken them. The photographer's name, Vivian Maier, was easy to find as it was on the photo lab receipts and envelopes, which were also in the boxes. At the time Maier was completely unknown in the photographic world, despite the brilliance of her work. Maloof decided to contact her. It turned out that she was then 83 years old and was living in a retirement home. When he called to speak with her, he was informed that she was unavailable, and when he called again, he was told that she had died. Now there was nothing else John could do but study the contents of the boxes and find out everything he could about Vivian Maier. He was finally able to discover that she had worked as a nanny for much of her life and shot images of the street life of New York and Chicago in her free time.

Born in New York in 1926, Maier spent her childhood and teenage years in France, with regular visits to America with her mother. It was in France that Vivian took her first pictures with an amateur Kodak camera that was heavy and difficult to use, and which had belonged to her mother. At the age of 25, she returned to the USA and settled in New York, where she got a job as a nanny with a rich family. Maier spent every free moment in the streets of New York, taking pictures of life around her, but using a much better camera – a Rolleiflex.

In 1956, Maier moved to Chicago, where she spent the rest of her life working as a nanny and doing her photography along the way. She didn't have any children of her own. In her photos, she managed to show interesting and unusual details of the daily routine of the cities. Many of her photos are now considered to be masterpieces of street photography. Sadly, during her lifetime, her talent was not recognized. (na podstawie: birdinflight.com)
