READING SKILLS 1 Read the texts about five important events in recent British history. Match the headings (A-F) to the correct texts (1-5). There is one extra heading.

5 Events That Changed Britain 1 The Great Train Robbery In 1963 a gang of 13 men carried out one of the biggest robberies in British history. They stopped a train and stole £2.3 million. During the robbery, the train driver was hit on the head and died 7 years later. The police found their fingerprints and the gang travelled all over the world to escape but, in the end, the police caught all thirteen of them. Nobody ever found the money. 2 The Coronation of Elizabeth II King George VI was a very popular king and the country was heartbroken when he died in 1952. The coronation of his daughter, Elizabeth, took place on June 2nd 1952. Twenty million people watched on television and another 11 million listened to the coronation on the radio. While they were listening and watching, news came in from Nepal that Edmund Hilary and Sherpa Tensig had climbed to the top of Mount Everest, the first people to do so. They reached the top on May 29th but news took four days to come through. 3 Margaret Thatcher Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party in Britain in 1975 when the Labour Party were in power. There were many problems in Britain in the late 1970‟s. People found it hard to get jobs, prices were going up and, in 1979, the Conservative Party came up with a famous slogan: „Labour isn‟t working‟. In May that year, Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, the first woman ever to be Prime Minister in Britain. She led the country for 11 years and changed it forever. 4 The Beatles in America At the end of 1963, The Beatles were the most popular pop group in England. Fans screamed at their concerts and they sold millions of records. But, in America, nobody knew who they were. No English groups were popular in America. Two months later, in February 1964, The Beatles were number one in America and millions of people watched them on television on the Ed Sullivan show. Over the next few years, many groups like The Rolling Stones and The Who also went to America and changed the world of rock and roll. 5 The 1966 World Cup In 1966, the world cup was played in England. The excitement started four months before when the cup disappeared. A dog, named Pickles, found it in a garden and nobody ever knew who took it and how it got into the garden. When the football started, England made it to the final against their old enemies West Germany. It was an exciting match with 6 goals altogether, England winning 4-2. Just before the last goal, some fans started running onto the pitch. The commentator famously said: „They think it‟s all over‟ and then, when the goal went in he continued: „It is now‟

READING SKILLS 1 Read the text about buying a house in London. Circle the correct answers: a, b or c.

Where to live in London London is so big that there is a great choice of places to buy a house but of course there are many things to think about such as price, transport shops and green spaces. Here below are some of the districts you might want to look at. West London Ealing is about 12km from the centre of town and on two underground lines. There are great shops and a canal which is a pleasant place to walk. South of Ealing are two areas you may want to think about. Brentford is becoming a very fashionable area to live with modern flats built here. It is close to Kew Gardens, one of the most beautiful gardens in London. The other area is Acton which, because it is close to the BBC studios, is a place where many BBC workers live. North London To the west of Hampstead is Finchley. North Finchley has a number of large family houses and the largest Japanese community in Britain. There are a lot of green spaces and the Northern Line underground runs through here. A cheaper area is around Finsbury Park, another beautiful green area. 15 minutes by underground from the centre of London, this is an area where prices are going to go up in the future. East London An interesting area is Beckton which used to be a very poor part of London but is now easy to get to because of the Docklands Light Railway and Underground. There are many new houses and flats here and it is very close to the London Docklands Airport. It‟s not a great place for shopping but it isn‟t too far from Stratford centre which is a big shopping centre. There‟s a ski slope in Beckton and a big supermarket. As prices nearer the centre of London go up, more people are looking for a house here. South London You can‟t beat Greenwich next to the river with its market and park with beautiful views of the river. It is crowded and the traffic is bad but it still feels like a village. At the top of the park is Blackheath, a real village with small arts and crafts shops and lots of nice restaurants. It hasn‟t got many big shops but you can walk down the hill into Lewisham which is great for shopping. Blackheath isn‟t on the underground but Greenwich is. You can catch a train from Blackheath to Charing Cross station.

1 It is pleasant to a) walk from Ealing to Brentford. b) walk along the canal in Ealing. c) go shopping in Ealing. 2 Finchley is a) north of Hampstead. Zarokmatura.y0.pl

Matura Succes Pre-Intermediate Teachers Support Book READING SKILLS 1 Read the interview with a politician. Tick true and cross false.

The truth about Truth and Freedom The elections are getting closer and a lot of people are thinking of voting for a new party, Truth and Freedom. They won‟t win the election but they might win a lot of votes. Most people don‟t know much about it, or its leader, Sir Jeffrey Collins, so last week I went to their party offices to ask a few questions. Sir Jeffrey was friendly at first but, as you can see from the interview below, he brought the interview to a sudden end when I asked him about his past. MARK DAVIES: Sir Jeffrey, thank you for letting me talk to you. This is your first election since you set up the Truth and Freedom party two years ago. Why did you do that and how exactly is it different to the more traditional parties? SIR JEFFREY: Well, the name should tell you that. Our country isn‟t free and our leaders don‟t tell the truth. I feel that we need both. A lot of people may be surprised to find out that they aren’t free. Can you explain? Of course. We think we are free but there are many laws that take away that freedom. Are we free to drive at 150kilometres per hour? No. Are we free to say what we want? No. Are we free to smoke where we want? No. But we need some laws. Where do you stop? Would you give people the freedom to kill? No, of course not. Yes, we need some laws but we‟ve got far too many. If we get into power, we will remove these stupid, unnecessary laws. It will make life much easier for everyone. Now, can I ask you about yourself, Sir Jeffrey? You were a soldier and a businessman. I remember reading a few years ago that you were in trouble with the police. Can you tell us about that? I‟ve got nothing to say about that. I read that you earned £2 million selling chemicals that you knew were dangerous and that five people died. Right. I‟m not going to stay here any longer listening to this. The interview is over. And that was the end of the interview. You can decide for yourself whether Sir Jeffrey is the sort of person you want to be the leader of the country. By Mark Davies

READING SKILLS 1 Read the description of the six radio stations. Match the questions (1-7) to the correct station (A-F). There is one extra heading

Online Radio

BBC stations online A Radio 1: is the station for all other new music. There is pop music, alternative rock and some dance music. During the day, the DJs talk a lot and there are quizzes and competitions. The music isn‟t as important as the fun. In the evening, the music gets stranger and the DJ‟s get quieter. Sometimes you think that the DJ‟s who work during the day just want to be famous but the DJ‟s on the evening shows are people who really love music. B Radio 2: is for older listeners who like pop and rock music. There is lots of music from the 1960‟s and 1970‟s but there is other music too like folk, country, blues and jazz. There are some documentaries about music, for example the story of the Summer of 1967, The Summer of Love. C Radio 3: is the classical music station but they have started to play some World Music from Africa and other places. They also look at some of the more „intellectual‟ rock musicians like Brian Eno and David Byrne. If you don‟t know who they are, you can find out on Radio 3. D Radio 4: says it is the home of intelligent speech. They have news, documentaries, comedy and quizzes. A lot of people like to listen to the Today programme in the mornings because it‟s much better than breakfast TV. The longest running soap opera in Britain is a radio show about a farming village called „The Archers‟. It started in 1951 and there have been over 14,000 episodes since then. E Radio 5: is also called Five Live. During the day, they have phone-in shows and news. In the evenings and at weekends, they have sport programmes, mainly football. Cricket is usually broadcast on Radio 4. And after the football matches they have a football phone-in show! It‟s often more entertaining than the matches! F Radio 6: is a strange mixture of Radio 1 and 2. Some old rock music is too loud for Radio 2 but too old for Radio 1. so the BBC has started Radio 6 where you can hear this kind of music. Maybe Led Zeppelin live from 1972 or a history of Punk Rock.

Matura Succes Pre-Intermediate Teachers Support Book READING SKILLS 1 Read the texts about seven famous British films. Match the headings (A-H) to the correct texts (1-7). There is one extra heading.

This month’s special feature Great British Movies 1 Goldfinger. This James Bond film was made in 1964. It came after Dr No and From Russia With Love and many people believe it is the best of the Bond films. Bond is trying to stop Goldfinger stealing all the gold in Fort Knox. Bond chases Goldfinger in a specially made Aston Martin DB5 car which has many surprises for Bond‟s enemies. 2 The Italian Job. Made in 1969, this comedy crime film showed a gang of criminals going to Italy dressed as football hooligans to steal millions of pounds in gold from the Fiat car factory. The Mafia can‟t stop them and the police can‟t stop them as they race out of Turin in three mini cars, very small but fast cars which can drive on pavements and through subways. 3 Kind Hearts and Coronets. This was a very black comedy about a number of murders. The murderer was from a rich family but the family refused to help him. He decided to kill everybody until he was the only one left and could get all their money. Sir Alec Guinness played all 7 members of the family who were murdered, young and old, male and female. 4 Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Monty Python team are famous for their strange humour and this film was no different. The story is about King Arthur but this film is very different to anything that has been written about the king in history books. On his journey he met a man with three heads, a group of giants who scare people by saying „ni‟ and a killer rabbit. 5 Brassed Off. Members of a work orchestra lose their jobs. The film looks at their problems with money and illness and a competition to find the best orchestra in the country which, of course, they win. You‟ll laugh one minute and cry the next. 6 The Full Monty. Six men decide they can earn money by dancing and stripping (taking their clothes off). The hero needs money because he has to pay his ex-wife money to look after his son. They get caught by the police and aren‟t sure that what they are doing is a good idea but finally, of course, the show goes ahead and they make their money. 7 Quadrophenia. This was based on a record by rock group The Who. It‟s about a boy called Jimmy. The first half of the film shows him getting ready for a weekend in Brighton where he and his friends are going to fight against their enemies. After the weekend, everything goes wrong. He is arrested, he loses his job, he loses his girlfriend and crashes his bike.

The straight banana and other Euromyths Many people in Britain think that the EU is trying to change our lives completely. Newspapers make this worse by writing stories that aren‟t exactly true. Here below are some of the most famous of these stories The straight banana is possibly the most famous of all the EU myths. British papers told their listeners that the EU didn‟t like the shape of bananas. (1)__________. What the EU really said was that the size and quality of bananas should be looked at. There was a similar story about cucumbers. That wasn‟t true either. Vegelate. Newspapers told their readers that chocolate would have to be called vegelate. This was because the EU said English chocolate didn‟t have enough cocoa or milk fat. (2)__________. What did the EU really say? That chocolate bars would have to say, on the packet, what was in them. The name wouldn‟t have to change. Euro CV. “All people will have to use an EU CV”. That‟s what the papers said. (3)__________ Not at all. The EU have made a standard CV but nobody has to use it. They thought it would be easier for employers to compare applicants from different countries. Not a bad idea really! .eu internet addresses. The EU wants to stop people using the .uk internet address said the papers. Of course nobody has to change. There is an .eu address. (4)__________ But the .uk address can still be used too. British exams. This sounded very serious. A levels, which students take at 18 will go. (5)__________ What did the EU want to do? They wanted to help students from different countries study anywhere they wanted in the EU. The best way to do this was not to have just one exam. It was to help all countries understand the exams in the other countries. (6)__________ Road numbers. Someone saw a map which said E30 not the M4. They thought the EU had changed our road numbers. (7)__________ It was the UN who thought up the Trans Europe Road Network. But the UN didn‟t say the road numbers would have to change. There are now two numbers which are both used.
