Listen to Maggie Parker speaking about museums in Springfield, the US, and answer the questions below.

1. What can visitors see in the Historical museum?

2. What impressed Maggie Parker in the Museum of Art?

3. What impressed Maggie Parker in the Walter Art Museum?

 

  Script:

 Helen: Hi, Maggie. I know that you've been to Springfield. Tell us about the museums there.

Maggie Parker: With pleasure, Helen. Springfield is a small quiet place and there are three museums there.

Helen: Did it take you much time to see them?

Maggie Parker: It took only one day. First I went to the Historical museum. This tells us a lot about the history of the US. The visitors can see a lot of things which belonged to American people in the past: clothes, furniture and have a look at the first telephone and the first bicycle. I forgot all about the time and space there. The next museum I went was the Museum of Art.

Helen: And what was your impression?

Maggie Parker: Oh, it's very good. The museum has an exposition of talented American artists and a gallery of modern art. I especially liked the collection of landscapes by famous impressionists. You won't believe me but I found two paintings by Monet there!

Helen: Oh, really? Isn't it great for such a small museum?

Maggie Parker: The next on my list was the Walter Art Museum. Its three sections display the culture of Ancient China, Egypt and Greece. I was impressed by a vast collection of Chinese vases and Greek sculptures. And in the Egypt section I saw a real mummy.

Helen: As I can see, we should visit Springfield too.

Listen to the boy speaking about a football match and answer the questions below.

1. What sort of match did Tom play?

2. How did Tom's team play during the match?

3. What was the result of the game?

 

Script:

The first time I played for the school football team was September 12th — I can't forget the date! The day was wonderful and the weather sunny. I was 13 and I was wearing a new pair of football boots I got for my birthday. It was a home game and lots of people were watching, including my parents. I was playing in the mid-field position. My best friend John was the goalkeeper. I felt quite nervous at the start but I soon relaxed. The crowd were cheering and shouting. Ten minutes into the game, the other team scored a goal. John looked really unhappy. For the next thirty-five minutes, our team tried really hard to score a goal but we were unlucky. At half-time, our PE teacher, Mr Hunter, talked to us and told us to play even harder! Though our competitors were well-trained, we were very enthusiastic and tried to attack as often as possible. We were really tired in the second half but in spite of this we managed to score a goal! It was a fantastic moment. The game ended in a draw. I didn't score a goal but that didn't matter. I was part of the football team now — that was the most important thing.

Listen to the tourist speaking about the Mona Lisa and answer the questions below.

1.   Where can you see the Mona Lisa?

2.   When is the best time to start queuing to the museum?

3.   Why do you need patience to see the painting?

 

Script:

a queue [kju:] очередь

 

The Mona Lisa may be one of the most famous paintings in the whole world but going to see it can be very difficult. You need lots of patience and it's hard work. The painting is in Paris, in the Louvre Museum, which is one of the biggest art museums in the world. There are usually very long queues* to get in, especially in the summer. If you want to see the Mona Lisa in peace and quiet, then the best way is to start queuing a few hours before the museum doors open.

And even if you get there, you can't really get a good look at the painting anyway. It's small and covered by glass. It's also dark as the colours have disappeared over the centuries. But the worst thing is the crowds — there are simply too many people standing in front of you and trying to look at it. If you stay till nearly closing time, in the evening, then you might be lucky enough to look at her on your own again. But soon the night guards come in and politely tell you to leave, so they can close the museum for the night.

It is worth all the waiting and the noise though as the Mona Lisa is a very special painting..
