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.
A. Different activities in a foreign country helped the speaker learn the language.
B. The speaker learns the foreign language while listening to music.
C. The speaker thinks that some foreign languages give better career opportunities than others.
D. The speaker's hobby was a strong motivation for learning the foreign language.
E. The speaker started learning the foreign language because she / he was going to travel.
F. A job in a foreign country helped the person speak the language better.
G. Mixing with native speakers helped the speaker learn about their way of life.

Mother: Morning, Ted.
Ted: Good morning, Mum.
Mother: I'm making scrambled eggs. Shall I make some for you or would you rather have a sandwich?
Ted: No, thanks Mum. I've already eaten. I got up early. Did you see some sandwiches? I made some sandwiches earlier. They were right here.
Mother: They're in the fridge. You have enough sandwiches to feed a small army. Why don't we do something together today?
Ted: I'm sorry, Mum. But I'm busy from morning till night.
Mother: Where are you going?
Ted: To the park.
Mother: Why? What's happening at the park?
Ted: Don't you remember, Mum? It's Riverdale Day.
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.
Ted: Thanks, Mum but you've been working so hard. You should just rest this weekend.
Mother: OK. Do a great job!
Ted: We will.
Mother: Take care.
Ted: Bye.

Ви почуєте інтерв'ю з іммігрантом з Кенії. У завданнях А8 – А14 обведіть цифру 1, 2 або 3, що відповідає номеру обраного вами варіанта відповіді. Ви почуєте запис двічі.
Can you tell me where you were born and about your family?
I was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1934. I was one of eight children. My mother didn't go to work, she was a housewife, but my father was a tailor, a master tailor. He used to make clothes privately for people. And it was a very, very hard time for him to support us financially. The size of the family probably made it doubly hard and the allowances for children were very small. They didn't really help. I think it was made even harder because my father was self-employed and he worked from home. I don't think this gave him any financial stability, as there were days when there were no clients. We just had to live from hand to mouth from day to day. Yes, I think those were very hard times for my parents.
What was this area like where your house and workshop were?
The area had lots of terraced houses. They were very simple. Our house had a veranda in front, two rooms, and a veranda at the back. This was because of the 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.
