Birmingham Town Hall 
Posted by Peter 4 October 2007 
I think you know by now that I live in Birmingham, which is the second largest city in 

England, after London. Birmingham is not an old city. It does not have ruins from 

Roman times, or a castle, or a mediaeval cathedral. Two hundred and fifty years ago, 

Birmingham was just a village. But then came the industrial revolution. Little Birmingham became a centre of the new metal and engineering industries. The town grew and grew, and by about 1830, 160,000 people lived here. Leading

Birmingham citizens began to think that the new town needed some fine public buildings, to reflect its new wealth and importance. So they decided to build a Town Hall. 
Now, the expression "town hall" in English normally means the headquarters of the

administration of the town - a building with offices where people work, in other words.

But not in Birmingham. Our Town Hall is a public hall. It was built as a place for

concerts, public lectures and political meetings. 
The group of citizens planning the Town Hall first collected together the money they

needed; then they employed an architect and builders. The architect designed the

Town Hall to look like a Roman temple -look at the picture on the website, or on your 

iPod screen, and you will see what I mean. The builders brought stone for the building 

by ship and canal boat all the way from Anglesey, in north Wales. Inside, skilled crafts

men built an organ - one of the largest organs in Britain at the time. And in1834 the

 new Town Hall opened with amusic festival to help raise money for a local hospital. 
Over the years since then, BirminghamTown Hall has seen all sorts of events and

performance. The first performance of Mendelssohn's great oratorio Elijah took place 

in the Town Hall in 1846, and in the following year Mendelssohn himself played the 

organ at a concert. Several of the works of the English composer Edward Elgarwere 

also given first performances in the Town Hall. Charles Dickens read from his book "A Christmas Carol", and the Town Hall has seen countless public and political meetings. It was the home for Birmingham's orchestra, the City of Birmingham 

Symphony Orchestra. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones performed there, as did 

countless other classical, jazz and pop musicians. 
But then things started to go wrong. The building began to deteriorate. Atmospheric

pollution attacked the stonework, and water came through the roof. Moreover, the

facilities at the Town Hall were no longer what modern audiences expect. A splendid

new concert hall, Symphony Hall, opened in Birmingham in the early 1990s, and the 

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra moved there from the old Town Hall. In1996, 

the city council decided that theTown Hall was no longer safe, and it closed. Many 

people feared that it would never re-open. 
The Town Hall stood empty and silent for the next nine years. Finally, the city council

managed to find enough money  with help from the National Lottery and the European

Union -to repair and restore the building. Workmen covered the Town Hall in scaffolding

and polythene sheeting, and the work of restoration started. And now it is finished, and

 the Town Hall will re-open today, 4 October, with a gala concert. I think that

 Mendelssohn and Elgar would be pleased. To celebrate the occasion, here is a short 

extract from Max Reger's Toccata and Fugue in D, Opus 59 No 5, and it is played by 

Michael Austin on the magnificent organ of Birmingham Town Hall.

Titanic

            The 14th of April 2012 was the centenary the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the passenger ship Titanic in the north Atlantic.This podcast is about Titanic. I hope it will help 

you to learn some new words and expressions about ships and the sea, and that you will learn 

about "unsinkable" words.

(Don't know what "unsinkable" words are? Then listen carefully to the rest of the podcast!) 
            Titanic has appeared in one of these podcasts before. Just over a year ago, we visited

 Belfast in Northern Ireland and the shipyard where Titanic was built. When she was launched, 

Titanic was the biggest ship in the world, and one of the most comfortable and luxurious. 

One hundred years ago last week, she set sail from Southampton on the south coast of England 

                  on her maiden voyage to NewYork. 
                               On board, there were over 1300 passengers. About 300 of these were First Class 

passengers, who enjoyed facilitiesuch as restaurants, cafes, a library, a gym, a swimming 

pool and a telegraph office which could send radio messages back to families and business 

colleagues on shore. The First Class passengers included some of the wealthiest and most

influential people in the world. Most of the passengers, however, travelled Second or Third 

Class, in much more humble conditions. Then there were 885 crewmembers, including 

300 men to look after Titanic's huge steam engines and feed them with coal. There were also 

large numbers of cooks, waiters, cleaners and other people to look after the passengers.

There was a cat too, with her kittens. 
            Titanic called first at Cherbourg in France and then at Cobh in Ireland before setting

out across the Atlantic. Then, shortly before midnight on 14 April 1912, when she was

600 km south of Newfoundland in Canada, she struck an iceberg. Slowly the ship filled with

 water. The crew launched the ship'slifeboats, but there were not sufficient places in them for 

everyone. Over 1500 of the passengers and crew died in the freezing waters of the Atlantic; 

only 710were saved. 
            The sinking of Titanic shocked and horrified people in both Britain and America. They

were shocked that there were not enough lifeboats. They were shocked that so many people had 

died, and that the families of many of them were left in poverty. Nowhere was the shock 

greater than in Southampton, where many of the crew had lived. It is said that every street in the

 city had at least one family who had lost someone in the disaster. Above all, people in Europe 

and the United States 100 years ago believed in technology and progress. They thought that 

modern technology and engineering could do almost anything. They were shocked to learn that

 nature could so easily destroy the biggest and most advanced ship in the world. 
            The story of Titanic still fascinates people today. The wreck of Titanic was rediscovered 

on the bed of the Atlantic in1985, and many items such as crockery and bits of luggage were

 brought to the surface and exhibited for people to see.There have been countless books and 

films about Titanic's first and last voyage, and theories about what really happened and who 

was to blame for the sinking. In Britainin the last few weeks, we have had several special

 television and radio programmes to mark the centenary of the disaster, and the film Titanic

 starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet - a film which you either love or hate - has been 

rereleased in 3D, so that the iceberg looks even more scary.Some people have even dressed up 

in Edwardian dress and gone on a special cruise to the place where Titanic went down. On board 

the cruise ship, they have enjoyed some of the food that was on the menu in Titanic's 

restaurant.

Среди заданий А8 - А12 выберите правильный вариант ответа(1, 2 или 3):

In England about 93 per cent of children attend state schools, which provide free education. The other 7 per cent attend independent schools - private and public schools. Some of these schools are boarding schools where children live and study. If parents want to send their children to a private or a public school, they have to pay for their education. The most famous public schools are Eton, Harrow and Winchester.

For small children, there are state kindergartens, private kindergartens and "nursery classes" in schools, which are optional.

Secondary education is compulsory. It means all children must attend school between the ages of 5 and 16. Most children start their education at the age of 5. Primary school may be divided into two parts: during the first two years reading, writing and arithmetic are taught for about 20 minutes a day. There is usually no written timetable. Much time is spend in modelling from clay or drawing, reading and singing. In Year 3 the "real work" starts. The children have lessons in arithmetic, reading and composition. History, Geography, Nature Study, Art and Music, PE, Swimming are also in the timetable. All schools follow the same National Curriculum. The children attend the primary school for 6 years.

Comprehensive schools provide compulsory education for children between the ages of 11 and 16. Comprehensive schools offer 5-year courses to all pupils; there are no entrance examinations there. Some children enter grammar schools which  also provide secondary education. If a pupil wants to study at a grammar school, he or she has to pass the 11+ exams. There are 10 subjects, which all children must study at secondary school, and there are some optional subjects that are different in different schools.

The whole period of compulsory education is divided into four stages. At the end of each stage (Years 2, 6, 9 and 11) pupils have national examinations.

tropical weather. They gave some sort of shade. The primitive kitchen was located in a courtyard. No electricity, no gas, and there was only a pipe for water which was a communal one. Everyone used to bring water in buckets into the house. The area was residential. It was about say an hour’s walking distance to the railway station. And schools were quite far away from there.

Where did you go to school?

Well, it was one of the well-known British Government Primary Schools with a team of qualified and experienced teachers. It later changed to the Duke of Gloucester School just because the Duke of Gloucester happened to go there as a visitor one day. The school was a very nice place and beautifully designed too. All by English architects here in Kenya, and most of the materials were shipped from England. I was very happy there overall. And I think I got a very good standard of education there as well. I remember well the day when the Duke came to school. When I think back about that, it makes me laugh. In my opinion, some officials just wanted to make themselves look important. Everybody wanted to shake the Duke’s hand. Maybe I’m being cynical, but on reflection, I don’t think the officials really behaved very nicely. Their behaviour was very false, I think. They just wanted to show themselves in a good light.

When you were at school, I mean did you learn much about Britain and about London?

Yes. I did learn about the history of Great Britain. Very little was taught to us about Kenya itself. I also learned about the history of the world. Things like that, but very little of my own culture or history. You might wonder if that puzzled us, but I can honestly say that at that time we were not bothered about it. I honestly think that we just got on with whatever we were told to do. I never realized that things could or should have been any different.

What was life at home like at this time?

Life was quite difficult. There wasn't much money coming in and we were very much restricted in food. There was plenty of cheap fruit available, like bananas and oranges. But sometimes we wished we could afford things like ham or cheese, but it never became an obsession. We just thought it would be nice to have some luxury things. I think that would be the normal reaction of any child. I don’t think we were exceptional in that.

Were your friends mainly from school?

Oh yes, yes. They were mostly from school. As soon as we came home we used to go out and play until mother got very angry and called us in. I loved that time after school when we were free just to do whatever we wanted. School rules were quite strict, you know, and we had to behave well and sit still a lot. So it was great just to be wild for a bit.

Mother: Oh, that’s right. Today’s the day when everyone helps clean up the town parks.

Ted: You know they’re doing something special to improve the playground area.

Mother: They want to make it bigger or smaller?

Ted: Not bigger, it’s big enough. Mostly they want to make it safer. Do you remember my friend Jimmy? He broke his arm on the playground last year.

Mother: Jimmy? The tall guy with freckles on his face? He has a job as a lifeguard at the town swimming pool. Right?

Ted: That’s right. He and I will be working together today. Jimmy’s father is a builder, and he’s bringing a tractor to make the rough ground smooth. He doesn’t want Jimmy to break his arm again.

Mother: There must be something I can do to help you. I could do some painting or any other job.

How do you celebrate the end of the school year? A few years ago, school leavers had a small disco at their school. Not any more. Films like High School Musical have brought a new craze from the USA to Britain — the school prom which is an official dance at the end of the school year. The prom is now such an important event that many school student committees spend up to one year planning it. The venues are expensive and impressive — many are held in 5-star hotels — not in the school hall. One school even held their prom at Manchester United's football ground. Then there's the DJ, the flowers and decorations, and some proms even have a red carpet.

A lot of pupils also spend months planning their outfits for the big night. "I ordered my prom dress at Christmas time and it arrived in May," says Jess Stubs. And the ma­jority of pupils like to arrive in style too. Many students arrive in limos and even horse carriages. "I ordered my limo in March, and I had trouble getting one," says Jess. "Most of them are already booked!"

It doesn't end there. When the big day arrives, everybody gets dressed up. "I got up at 9 o'clock to get my nails done," explains Lucy Warne. "I had a fake tan done the day before and I got my hair done in the afternoon. You have to look perfect." Kate Sawyer, a teacher, loves seeing the students dressed up. "Outside school you are used to seeing them in their hoodies and jeans. Everyone wants to dress up and look wonderful once in their life," she says.

So, is it worth all the effort? "It was an amazing night," said Scott Preston. "We walked down a red carpet into the hall. There was a great DJ. The Prom King and Queen were chosen and they were crowned in a big ceremony. Everyone had their photo taken. It was brilliant."

This is what Lauren says about her prom. "My dress was from the first shop I went to — TK Maxx. I liked the colour and the style, it wasn't too 'princessy', and I was con­fident no one else would have it. I had my hair done at my house by my hairdresser. My hair took an hour to curl. As well as diamonds, I also had extensions in my hair. The girls and boys went to the prom in different cars. The boys had a blue convertible but we had a limo. The girls were complimenting each other. The boys scrubbed up well — it was nice to see them 'suited and booted'. The prom venue was Stockbrook Manor. We all felt very posh. It was a fabulous night and I loved dressing up and spending the night with my whole school year!"

Interviewer:   Hi Jane! Can you tell our readers why you love living in Cape Town ?

Jane: Yes! Well, this June thousands of football fans came to our city to watch the World Cup. But there's more to the country than football. There are always fun things to do, day and night, especially if you are young. There are malls and coffee shops where you can just relax with your friends. We also have go-karting, ice-skating and dune-bashing.

Interviewer:   What is dune-bashing? Can you tell me more about it?

Jane:   Dune-bashing is riding three-wheel bikes through the sand dunes on the beaches.

Interviewer:  What is the one thing I should see?

Jane:   You should really go and see Table Mountain. You can see the city from up there. Take the cable car if you are not scared of heights. You will see a really cute animal that lives there — the dassie.

Interviewer:   What kind of animal is it?

Jane:  Actually it is quite small and looks like a large mouse. But although it just resembles a mouse they say that in origin it is closer to an elephant!

Interviewer:   What other animals live in Cape Town?

Jane: If you are in the heart of the city, you don't have to worry about any of the animals, maybe, just stray dogs and cats. In the countryside you have to be careful — there are lions and leopards!

Interviewer:   Is it true there is a lot of crime? Is Cape Town safe? Jane:   Like in any big city, I wouldn't suggest walking around late at night but don't let that stop you from coming here. Interviewer:   Is it really hot? Shall I bring all my summer clothes if I come in July?

Jane:   No! In July it's winter here so I suggest you pack your winter clothes — but our winter isn't as cold as a winter in Europe, so a jacket or jumper will keep you warm on a mild winter's day.

Presenter: With us in the studio today we have the owner of famous British Vintage Inns. Good afternoon, Mr. Mitchell.

Michael  Mitchell: Good afternoon, but , please, call me Michael.

Presenter: So, Michael, what is so special about Vintage Inns far Englishmen or tourists?

Michael  Mitchell: I must say one of our greatest advantages is that we are in really prime places.

Imagine a summer`s day, a river gently flowing past as you enjoy a light lunch or a an evening meal with friends. Or, maybe, it is winter and you sit in front of a log fire. Our inns are always in a quaint village in the heart of the English countryside which makes it attractive for both nostalgic British people and enthusiastic tourists.

Presenter: As I understand, most of your inns have their own gardens.

Michael  Mitchell: Yes, it is certainly true. They are every bit  as pleasant as the places the inns are in – ideal for the meal in fine weather, which is, of course, seasonal.

Presenter: Still, competition is high in your sphere. Being not so close to centers of big cities, what do you do to make sure people will drive specially to you?

Michael  Mitchell: Actually, I do nothing special to attract potential customers. You see, I do not have to as the inns are generally located in places worth visiting and mane are close to enchanting walks. Very often there is a Vintage Inns close to a stately home or historic village or another tourist attraction. What could be a better way to spend a day off with your family? Even London pubs cannot offer this.

Presenter: Any chain store ricks becoming boring for clients as they all look exactly the same. What do you think about this opinion? 

Michael  Mitchell: I`d like to say that every Vintage Inns is different, but they are all the same. All our inns will definitely offer the same high quality menu and standards of service. All our landlords and landladies share the same passion for getting it right. However, each Vintage Inns has its own unique character. You will discover thatched roofs, soft, natural slate, buildings of hews stone. There are Tudors, Georgian, Victorian and many  more styles of architecture, including modern ones.

Presenter: What about food in Vintage Inns?

Michael  Mitchell: What we offer is best described as leaning towards traditional home style cooking but with a contemporary twist. Still, we do allow the best of great  food from around the world to add a little influence on what we do. Many of our dishes are our creation – and all dishes are designed to look temping and great on the plate.

Presenter: Is there a difference between an afternoon menu and an evening one?

Michael  Mitchell: Well, on working days at lunch time you can choose anything from a range of sandwiches to full three- course meals. Our evening meals also offer lighter choices but includes fish, chicken, pasta, salads, steaks and pies too. On Sundays we include a choice of traditional roasts and puddings.

Jane: Hello Peter! What are you doing here in the library? I often come to the reading room, but I have never seen you here before.

Peter: Hello, Jane. That`s right – you could not have possibly seen me here. I come round to change my books or look through some journals now and then during the term time, but that is it. The end of the term is different, of course.

Jane: Why so?

Peter: Well, you know, the exams are coming and I am getting a bit nervous.

Jane: Have you missed many classes then?

Peter: Not many, really, but the fact is that I did just the bare minimum even for my major! There is a lot of information which went over my head completely. My group mates have lent me there notes but they are of very little use. They are really brief,  as a rule, so I cannot make out a single thing of them.

Jane: So, you have missed not classes, but opportunities if I can put it this way.

Peter: I guess you can. Do you think I will be able  to catch up with the rest of the group? I doubt it. I have been using my computer much to put all  the information in proper schemes and tables but that does not seem to be helping much.

Jane: It is totally up to you! If you are determined to succeed, you will have to spend days and nights with books and your computer.

Peter: What worries me is the language course. It seems totally impossible.

Jane: Yes, that will be the most difficult one for you. You simply cannot expect to take it all the words and grammar rules in just a few nights.

Peter: Do you think I will fail it then?

Jane: Peter, be more optimistic! If the teacher sees you have tried to do at least something,  she will appreciate it , I am sure.

Peter: Thank  you, Jane; you are such a good friend. How about you? Are you ready for your exams? I bet you are!

Jane: Actually, I am not so sure about Literature. I think I am on the teacher`s blacklist for not meeting deadlines with some of the essays.

Peter: You will pass, do not worry!

Jane: Well, let us hope for the best!

For any celebrations you have so many people to give presents to: your mates, parents, relatives. It creates a problem of choosing an original present. I think everybody is so tired of traditional gifts! To my mind, the simplest way out is accessories. They are always different and can suit everybody. For family members it may seem a good investment if it is expensive enough and it may definitely help your friends look great at a party.

As for me, I dislike pragmatic, domestic gifts. They may be useful, of course, but when you get a present, you expect a surprise, not a new kind of washing powder. I do not understand people who are happy to get kitchen towels, cups, dishes or anything like that. If you do not have any innovative ideas, buy some perfume or flowers – they are not practical, they are pleasant.

Honestly speaking, I`d be glad to get a weekend camping tour even to a local place of interest. It would be best present and the worst is perfume. Perfume is the ultimate in personal gifts, even more then accessories. What scent a person chooses is unique and usually very subjective. It also looks like a last- minute decision which may seem impolite, unless you are absolutely sure in your choice, which, as I said is rare case.

Giving and receiving presents can be stressful. A picky person can dislike some gifts or even worse – give them to somebody else. Horrible! So I found a perfect way out – a gift certificate. For anyone who  likes shopping it is ideal and you don` t waste time trying to find something special. But there are disadvantages  about a gift certificate too. A person may think that you just didn`t want to be bothered and get offended, so it`s not a universal present after all.

If you can effort it, try not to give things, but experiences as a present. It is not necessary something very expensive. Tickets to the first night performance or to a new exhibition as an art gallery, or anywhere else will do fine. It is even better if you can go there together and share these experiences. Take a camera with you and take pictures. Such a present will leave long – standing memories which are dear themselves.

Living in a high – tech world, it would not be unusual to buy gadgets as a present. If your friend commutes, it can be an iPod, if your friend is very busy – an electronic organizer will be an excellent idea. There are millions of choices and they are not expensive either. Such a present  can show the person exactly how much thought you put into choosing the perfect gift taking into account his or her way of life and needs.

            Задание 1. Понимание основного содержания текста.(базовый уровень.)

Суть задания: нужно установить соответствие между краткими утверждениями и текстами, предложенным для прослушивания. Утверждения обозначены цифрами 1-7. Высказывания говорящих буквами A-F. Одно утверждение лишнее.

3. В процессе ознакомления с утверждениями подчеркиваем в них ключевые слова, делаем иные пометки, помогающие понять их смысл и различия.
4. Глядя на утверждения, пытаемся предвосхитить содержание текста, подходящего к каждому из них по смыслу, а также, те ключевые слова на которых, как нам кажется, должно строиться высказывание, относящееся к данному утверждению.

Вы услышите 6 высказываний. Установите соответствие между высказываниями каждого говорящего A- F и утверждениями 1 – 7. Используйте каждое утверждение, обозначенное соответствующей цифрой, только один раз. В задании есть одно лишнее утверждение. Вы услышите запись дважды.

B1

Now we are ready to start.

Speaker 1

In Spain I lived in a flat with students from the local university. In my drama class I met a Spanish girl who was looking for someone to speak English with. We became best friends and we spoke half the time in English, and half the time in Spanish. I also joined a gym and had great fun trying to do an aerobics class which was not a difficult task though the instructions were given in Spanish. On Sundays I went to the cinema and only watched Spanish films. Now I’m quite good at Spanish.

Speaker 2

I went to China to work as an English language teacher because I wanted to understand people who live in China. It took me a long time before I met local Chinese people with the same interests as I had. I met even more interesting people thanks to them. I had great fun and left China with a better understanding of the lifestyle of ordinary Chinese people.

Speaker 3

The first foreign language which I studied was French. I learnt it at a secondary school. Between school and university I spent three months working on two farms in southern France. This helped me to speak easily in French and to get a rich vocabulary connected with farming. I can still speak and read in French quite well. However, my written French is rather bad.

Speaker 4

I have always been good at languages that’s why I studied French and German at high school. To brush up my French and German I took part in a few student exchange programmes. But then I thought that my chances of finding a good job might be improved if I chose a more unusual language. I considered Chinese, Japanese and Arabic. Finally I decided on Chinese and Japanese, which I studied at the University of Leeds. During my second year I spent a term studying Chinese in China, and another term studying Japanese in Osaka.

Speaker 5

I began learning Arabic because I planned to visit different Arabic-speaking countries, including Morocco. Using a textbook I learnt Arabic pronunciation, the Arabic script, a few words and a bit of grammar. Soon I spent some weeks in Morocco. Unfortunately I found out that my French was much more useful than the little Arabic I knew.

Speaker 6

Many years ago I was given an Irish whistle as a birthday present. I liked it so much that soon I started to collect Irish tunes, songs and albums, it became my favourite occupation. I enjoyed listening to Irish music so much that I started playing it myself. As I listened to and played Irish music I got interested in the Irish language as well. And you see, my hobby led me to the decision to start learning the Irish language.
