Zadanie B (tekst dla nauczyciela)
Usłyszysz dwukrotnie wypowiedź pracownika biura matrymonialnego. Postaw znak „True”
lub „False” obok każdego ze zdań.
Young men have always Bern an important export commodity for England. At one time they were sent out into world to govern the British Empire, to explore or to fight wars.
But now this army of wandering Englishmen must settle for a less exciting life. It is surprising, therefore, that this adventurous band is easily bored in today’s world and always looking for action. This makes them prime targets for the matrimonially ambitious.
But even if Englishmen are easy to catch, why would you want one? Well, there are many reasons in fact, not least that having your very own Englishman – polite, slightly reserved, unwilling to kiss others upon meeting – will attract enormous admiration and envy from your family and friends.
And there’s more. He will be generally easy to handle. All Englishmen, no matter how adventurous in their public life, seek what is referred to as “a quiet life” in their relations with women, and they are prepared to agree to almost anything in order to get it. It is possible that Englishman will show one or two eccentric tendencies. These may include mumbling to himself about such mysterious topics as cricket or beer without bubbles.
If you can put up with these minor irritations and treat him with a little kindness, your Englishman will stay honest and faithful for years to come. So, if you think you might bi interested, here’s how to get one.
Be subtle. Once you have selected your target, you must make him think that he has chosen you. If he suspects that you are after him he will run. Take your time.
Your Englishman will certainly be just a little shy, so don’t frighten him by kissing passionately in front of other people. Holding hands will be enough.
Check his background carefully. A British passport is no guarantee that you have a genuine article. Make thorough inquiries or you might find yourself coupled with a Scot or a Welshman, who you should treat entirely differently. They can be a wholly different kettle of fish.
Get to know his friends. When the wedding is approaching and he takes you home to meet his mates, make sure that they like you. An Englishman thinks a lot of his friends, and if they say that there is something wrong with you he will probably believe them.
If you follow this simple advice, you should find yourself a walking up the isle in no time.
Zadanie B (ćwiczenie dla ucznia)
1. The flirtatious nature of Englishmen makes them easy matrimonial objects. …………..

Zadanie C (tekst dla nauczyciela)
Usłyszysz dwukrotnie kilka informacji biograficznych o G. F. Handlu. Na podstawie usłyszanych informacji wybierz odpowiedź, której treść jest zgodna z nagraniem.
Ladies and gentleman, before we listen to tonight’s concert – Handle’s famous oratorio Messiah – let me give you a few biographical details abort the composer.
Although George Friderick Hendel is known universally as the composer of tonight’s masterpiece, he also composed 25 other oratorios and more than 40 operas. Born in Germany, Handel spent 50 years in England. He was born in 1685, the son of surgeon. His father intended him to study for a profession, and Hendel attended the University of Halle, where he studied law. But his interest in music was too strong, and in 1702 he became an organist in the Halle Cathedral. Above all, he loved opera and went first to Hamburg and then to Italy to study. He spent there years in Italy, studying Italian music styles and techniques. His first Italian opera, Rodrigo, became a great success in Florence in 1707. In Rome, he composed The Resurection and The Triumph of Time. These works were oratorios, operatic in music but designed to be sung by soloists and chorus with an orchestra, performing in concerts, without stage action.
In 1710, Handel obtained the post of musical director at Hanover. In the same year, he went to England for six months, where his opera Rinaldo enjoyed great success. He returned to Hanover, but in 1712 he moved back to England, where he spent the rest of his life. In 1714, the Elector of Hanover became King George I of England, and Handel won the favour of the court. In 1726, he became a naturalised British citizen.
The climax of Handel’s life came in 1742 when he conducted the first performance of Messiah, the oratorio he had composed in 25 days in 1741. It was first performed in Dublin in April 1742 and immediately won huge popular success. Messiah was performed the following year in London. As the singers began to sing The Hallelujah Chorus, King George II was so inspired that he rose to his feet. The audience stood up, too, and remained standing until the chorus ended.

Zadanie D (tekst dla nauczyciela)
Usłyszysz dwukrotnie recenzję filmu Star Wars. Na podstawie usłyszanych informacji zaznacz przy każdym zdaniu T (true) lub F (false).
I waited 19 years to see Episode I. No, I’m not making a mistake in my math. I’ve been waiting for this movie since 1980, when The Empire Strikes Back was released. Yes, Return of the Jedi came out in 1983, but it was such a disappointment for me that I don’t even count it. I wanted so much to see this new film. You see, unlike most Star Wars fans, I’ve not had much else to satisfy my craving, because I’m a “movie purist” – I choose to stay within the universe of the films. With a couple of exceptions, I’ve not read any of the books. I don’t read the comics. I have no idea what happened in the Star Wars universe outside of the original trilogy. Episode I was going to make my 22 years of Star Wars fandom worth waiting to have Lucas himself continue the story for me. I even managed to remain as spoiler-free as possible before sitting down in the theatre. As you can imagine, that was no easy task. I had to miss all the television specials, plug my ears while my husband watched shows, buy magazines and never open them, and stay out of message boards outside of Echo Station. I let myself watch the trailers…that was it. I figured it was okay, because Lucas wouldn’t spoil the movie for me with a trailer, especially considering all of the secrecy around the plot he’d been trying to maintain. I wanted to go into the film and recreate the suspence and amazement I’d experienced during A New Hope and Empire.
When John Williams’ Main Title theme began, and that yellow Star Wars logo appeared on the screen, I got teary. I looked over at my eight-year-old son sitting next to me and thought,
“now I can share with him what I felt so many years ago…now he’ll grow up and remember the day he saw that yellow text scroll across the screen for the first time”.
I looked at my husband and thought, “if it weren’t for these movies, I would never have found my husband in a Star Wars forum. It was emotional for me because it brought back so many important moments in my life. I was ready to be floored with utter amazement. It didn’t happen.

Wherever you go, people wear jeans. What do they mean to you? Fashionable chic, a symbol of radicalism – or just a pair of trousers?
Jeans began in 19th century as humble work clothes, but by the 1970s they were a highly prized commodity on the black markets of Eastern Europe.
What is their appeal? Why blue? Do they mean the same to women and men? Where should you wear jeans now, and where are they a mistake?
In the course of 150-year history, jeans have been stretched and shrunk, faded and patched, flared, tapered, torn and beaten on rocks – and that is before they go on sale. There is fierce competition between jeans makers, and a thriving business in imitations, while most leading designers have “created” in denim.
Jeans have been celebrated in music since the 60s, made more than a passing appearance in cinema and photography and even inspired poets. In “Everybody’s Wearing Blue Jeans”, Jennifer Bleek delves into the story of this extraordinary clothing phenomenon, hearing the tales of the generations for whom jeans are “the thing”, be they rebels or followers-of-fashion, makers or marketers.

It’s five to nine and there is the weather forecast for the British Isles until midnight.
For all areas of London and as far north as the Wash it will be dry with a hew patches of hazy sunshine along the coast regions. Inland the winds will drop, and temperatures should rise to 20 degrees of Celsius although there is little chance of the sun breaking through.
Along the south coast the day will start clear and bright, with temperatures climbing to 25 degrees of Celsius by midday. However, by late afternoon, clouds will appear from the south- west bringing the possibility of some humidity.
In the western region, covering Wales and south-west England as far as Bristol, heavy rain has already set in, and in England it is expected to continue for the rest of the day, with temperatures only reaching 17 to 18 degrees.
Finally, for the rest of England or Scotland, the weather will be changeable, with rain from the west clearing by mid-morning, and then brighter periods with scattered showers will cover most of the Midlands and Scotland. The winds will be fresh from the north-west becoming chilly in the north of Scotland. As night falls, fog will roll in from the North Sea and most of the north-east Scottish coast will have restricted visibility. Temperatures will decrease rapidly in the evening, in some places in the extreme north falling to 7 degrees. That is the end of the weather forecast, and the shipping forecast will follow shortly.

Zadanie H (tekst dla nauczyciela)
Wysłuchasz dwukrotnie fragmentu programu radiowego. Na podstawie tekstu uzupełnij poniższe zdania wpisując w każdą lukę jeden lub dwa wyrazy.
What would you do if you were first on the scene when someone was having an epileptic fit, or seizure? These are more common than many people think – about one in every 150 people have some form of epilepsy. In the most severe type, the person loses consciousness and falls to the ground. Then their whole body stiffens before the limbs start to twitch and jerk. It can be frightening to watch, particularly if you haven’t seen a seizure before.
Sometimes onlookers find it so disturbing that they try to stop the person shaking by holding them still. But that will never stop the seizure and could hurt them even more.
The best way to help someone who’s having a seizure is to make sure they’re safe. Put something soft between them and the hard surfaces around them, so they don’t injure themselves, particularly their head. Try to make a note of the time, so you know how long the seizure lasts.
Some people try to put a wooden spoon or a rag in the mouth to stop the person biting their tongue; but putting anything in the mouth is very dangerous because it could block their breathing – so don’t be tempted.
After a few minutes, the seizure should stop, and the person should start to come round. Lie the person on their side in the recovery position. Be there to help them when they do start recovering, and make sure a big crowd hasn’t gathered. If the fit continues for more than about five minutes, call for medical help.
