1 Where will the girls sleep at the weekend?
SprávněPřepis poslechu
Hi Christine. It‘s me, Samantha. Listen. I have just called the hotel to reserve a double room for us but unfortunately they are fully booked for the whole weekend. The owner was really kind and recommended one of the hotels nearby but it was too expensive for us. But don‘t worry. Although the weather forecast predicts clear skies all weekend, we won‘t be sleeping right under the stars. I‘ll bring a tent and we can easily share. But Christine, remember to pack a sleeping bag and some extra warm clothes. It can get really cold in the mountains at night. It won‘t be like sleeping in you parents‘ warm mountain cottage we stayed in last weekend.

SprávněPřepis poslechu
M: What kind of pizza shall I order today, Sally? Last time we had the one with salami, olives and mushrooms. And it was delicious.
W: Yes, it wasn‘t bad. But Mark is coming over for a visit and he‘s a vegetarian so without salami this time. Just olives and mushrooms.
M: Actually he said he‘d eat in town today and would come later so we don‘t have to worry about his preferences.
W: Alright then. Let‘s order the same one as last time but without mushrooms today. Only salami and olives.
M: Are you sure? I can imagine it without olives but not without mushrooms.
W: You know what? I don‘t care. Order whichever you like but quickly. I‘m really hungry.
M: Fine, no experiments today. Let‘s have exactly the same as last time and don‘t worry, you don‘t have to eat the mushrooms, I‘ll eat them from your parts.

M: Carol, how are you? You haven‘t been in the office for a week. I heard you had an accident.

M: So you had to take care of him?
W: Actually, no. Because he‘s still in hospital. But I got a flu and had to stay in bed for the whole week. My son took care of me. I hope he didn‘t catch it because he needs to study for important exams. Fortunately I‘m all right now, ready to help my husband when he comes home form hospital.

M: Hello, aunty Rose? It‘s me, your nephew Jimmy. Thanks for coming to pick me up.
W: Hello Jimmy. I was afraid I wouldn‘t recognize you at first. It‘s been years. How are you? Did you get work as an architect after university? It‘s been your dream, hasn‘t it?
M: I‘m fine. Actually, I still have a year to finish my studies. But yes, I‘m planning to apply for a job as an architect after my final exams. Anyway, sorry about changing our meeting place. I wanted to buy a plane ticket originally.
W: That‘s OK. It was my mistake. I thought trains are not for young people these days. Most of them only fly. And then I noticed that the message says I should pick you at the main station.
M: You see, I‘m trying to save as much as I can so I decided to travel cheaper then by plane. You know, I‘m saving money for a wedding gift for my sister. I still don‘t understand why she has to get married so young. But it‘s her choice.W: Jimmy, your sister is 24, isn‘t she? I already had two children at her age. Well, call me old-fashioned but I believe, the sooner people get married the better. Why wait? Oh, well, now let‘s hurry home. Leo and Callan can‘t wait to meet you. You remember my grandson Leo? Callan is his school mate. Those two are always together. They‘re like brothers.
M: Well, it‘s not a long drive to your house, is it? I mean, you live in the city centre if I remember correctly.
W: Oh that place was very nice and I had lived there since I was born. Last year, a very noisy young man moved in next door. I asked him a thousand times to keep the music down but it was no use. So I found a small house for sale and moved away. The house has a lovely garden. You‘ll see.
M: My dad always told me that you should have been a gardener. According to him, you‘d have been perfect in that.
W: Thanks for the compliment. The truth is that it‘s the activity I‘m most interested in. I won the Garden of the Year competition so I must really be doing it right. Do you like gardening?
M: Sure. But my favourite hobby is painting. I don‘t think I‘ll become a professional painter but some people have already bought some of my pieces from me.W: How interesting, Jimmy. There‘s a very nice art exhibition in the town. Would you be interested in seeing it?
M: I‘d love to. Can we go tomorrow?
W: Tomorrow is Sunday, I am certain they‘re closed. But it will be the first thing we do on Monday morning, OK? You‘ll be busy on Sunday anyway. All the family wants to meet you. Oh, look, there is my car.

SprávněPřepis poslechu
Welcome to our museum of dolls and teddy bears. Here you can see the largest collection of dolls and teddy bears in the world. The museum was founded in 2008. The idea to open it was born of long time hobbyists, of Suzanne Quinnlane, a collector of dolls, and he cousin, Barbara Marshall, a teddy bear collector. It was Suzanne‘s mother who often told the girls that they have collections so large that they should start a museum. And that‘s exactly what they did. Suzanne Quinnlane works in the museum‘s office from Fridays to Mondays and on Saturdays, she even gives personal tours of the museum. The museum is situated in a historic house which was build in 1911 for a local doctor. The house was designed by British architect whose name was John Macknie. The surname is spelled M A C K N I E. He is best known for his work on many commercial centres. Between 1946 and 2006 this house belonged to the town hall and served as a theatre. However, the house was in bad condition and needed renovation. The renovation finally took place in 2007 and brought the building to its present size of 3614 meters squared. The teddy bear and dolls halls are situated on the first and second floors where I‘ll take you in a while. They display over 3000 teddy bears and dolls from the last century. The museum‘s oldest bear is from 1906 and you‘ll find it on the second floor. We‘ll finish our tour on the third floor where we have the art hall and the library. The library contains children‘s books from all over the world. In the art hall, you‘ll see illustartions of dolls and teddy bears from different children‘s books. Please, feel free to enter the art hall whenever you want. But if you‘re interested in the books form the library, you must arrange a visit there at least a week in advance. You can only use the books there as it‘s not possible to také them out of the building because they are very old.zde najdete cvičení na poslech, zaměřených na maturitní otázky

22 According to the woman, what makes a perfect holiday?
SprávněPřepis poslechu
What makes a perfect holiday? I‘ve heard that it depends on how old you are when you take the holiday. I‘ve seen a research recently, which discovered that most people had their best holiday ever at the age of 34. Interesting, isn‘t it? When I was a teenager, I thought the more money you had, the better holiday you could enjoy. But now I know that even a luxurious holiday in a best holiday resort and the most expensive hotel won‘t make the holiday of your lifetime. Now I know that a great holiday has nothing to do with age or even the cost. It also doesn‘t matter where or how far you go. The only thing that matters is who you go with, whether you‘re 25, 55 or 75.

23 What is the man’s opinion on using Facebook?
SprávněPřepis poslechu
Almost everyone uses Facebook nowadays. But I feel that many people share too much personal information there and don‘t understand nothing is really private on the web. I especially see this when people share information about their work and complain about their bosses or job on Facebook. I think it is a great way to get fired or to make people feel badly of you when you are applying for another job. We often criticise teenagers for their online behavior but parents are no better. They should think twice before they post images of their children on Facebook because they may end up in the hands of criminals. What I recommend is that if you don‘t want the things you post on Facebook to be on the front page of the best selling newspapers, don‘t post them there.zde najdete cvičení na poslech, zaměřených na maturitní otázky

Free Bus Rides
In 2003, a 106-year-old woman from Os in Norway received an offer for free bus rides to school. Town officials sent it to her because they thought she would first attend school in autumn 2003. Ingeborg Thuen, born in 1897, is the oldest citizen of Os and actually started school in 1903 when she was six years old. Computers in the town hall of Os read the ’97 of her birth year as 1997 and added her to the list of children starting the first grade in autumn 2003. When Ingeborg received the offer, she laughed and said, “Free rides are a very good idea, although now I live near the school. When I started school back then, I had to walk for an hour every morning, which was really hard. However, as I can already read, write and count, I will skip school this time,” she joked.

Syringe1
The development of the syringe became very important with the arrival of penicillin in the 1940s. This drug blocked up glass syringes and even heat sterilization didn’t help, so the syringes couldn’t be used again. Later, in 1951, Harry Willis, a distributor at a drug company, designed and patented a syringe made of plastic. However, Willis needed a plastics expert to make his idea of the new tool a reality. This is why he visited Charles Rothauser, an Australian manufacturer who was using plastic to produce toys, and asked him to use his knowledge of plastics in order to make a plastic syringe according to Willis’ design. Rothauser made the first syringes out of polyethylene, a plastic which softens with heat and has to be sterilized chemically, which was too expensive. So he tried another material – polypropylene – a plastic that can be sterilized by heat. He succeeded, and today Australians argue that it was a toymaker from Australia who gave us this life-saving tool.

An accident
A scared Finnish woman called the police at 3 a.m. to report repeated doorbell ringing at night. At first, the policemen thought it was the work of neighbourhood kids. On closer inspection they discovered that ants had built a large ant hill inside the wall of her house. This was pressing on the doorbell parts in the wall and made them ring. The officers identified the ants as pharaoh ants. This insect is attracted to warm buildings, because it is the way to survive in cold, northern Europe. The police had to use a knife to cut through all the materials the ants had brought into the wall and destroyed all the ants to stop the woman’s doorbell ringing.

World War II Message Found
Last month, David Martin, a car mechanic from southern England, found the skeleton of a homing pigeon 1 with a message in the chimney while he was renovating his house. During World War II (WWII), pigeons like this one were taken to the Nazi-occupied territories in France and sent back to Britain with messages from the British Army. Historians believe that this pigeon began its journey in France in June 1944 and never arrived to deliver its message. The pigeon either got lost in the bad English weather or was tired after its trip across the Channel and ended up falling down the chimney. The message that was found by David Martin next to the pigeon was certainly secret because it was written in a strange code. Now historians are trying to understand the message and find out whether it could possibly have changed history.

What you didn’t know about dolphins…
Four Australian lifeguards were on a training swim about 100 metres from the beach when several dolphins appeared and pushed them together by making circles around them. When one lifeguard tried to swim away from the circle, two bigger dolphins forced1 him to go back. That’s when the lifeguards noticed a huge white shark only twenty metres away from them. The lifeguards spent the next forty minutes surrounded by the dolphins before they could safely return to shore. According to scientists, dolphins normally do this to protect their young against sharks, so their action was natural.

Welcome to the Magical Gardens of Cornwall!
Enjoying the warmth of the Gulf Stream, the magical gardens in Cornwall are home to a number of exciting, rare and beautiful plants and trees. Here are invitations to two of them. HELIGAN GARDENS were originally created by the Tremayne family in the mid-18th century. The Gardens had been admired by visitors only until the last owner moved to Italy. After his departure in 1920, the place was closed and left without any care and was forgotten by everyone until 1990, when the devastated gardens were discovered only by chance. In 1991 the gardens became the scene of the largest garden restoration project in Europe and in 1992 they were opened to the public. Today, the gardens are unique and one of the most fascinating places to visit. You will find an Italian garden, a superb collection of walled gardens to the north, and the The Jungle, an exotic sub-tropical valley with bamboo tunnels and majestic banana trees, to the south. The journey through The Jungle will make you think you are far from the UK. And all this is outdoors for you to enjoy the unique coastal weather! On arrival, you’ll be given a free garden map. All parts of the gardens are clearly marked there as well as the famous Heligan Kitchen & Bakery. Why not stop by for a traditional Cornish cream tea and sandwiches or taste some of the fruit and vegetables grown here? Although we don’t grow enough for our kitchen, we buy the rest from Cornish farmers and we are proud of the regional flavours we create. Heligan Gardens offer a perfect walk for you and your four-legged friend. However, we kindly ask all visitors to keep their dogs on their leads at all times. Whether you plan to visit Heligan Gardens on a sunny day in summer, or in the middle of peaceful winter, you are guaranteed a unique experience. Every time of year has its charm here. However, the best time to visit the Gardens is in late spring and early autumn.
Opening hours: Heligan Gardens are open daily from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm – the last tickets are sold at 6:00 pm (except on Mondays: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm – the last tickets are sold at 4:30 pm).
Admission fees: Adults £13.50, Students £8, Children (younger than five) no charge Heligan Kitchen & Bakery is open also to non-paying visitors. Visitors with a valid ticket to Heligan Gardens will get a 10% discount at Heligan Kitchen & Bakery on all meals.
TREGREHAN GARDENS, ideally situated on the south coast of Cornwall, have been home to the Carlyon family since 1565. Tregrehan Gardens are proud of its extraordinary collection of plants, as well as wildlife residents. However, the pathways in the gardens were created long before modern health and safety requirements so explore the gardens carefully. The gardens contain hidden hazards especially for kids (e.g. holes and lakes) so it is necessary that children
are accompanied at all times. We also ask visitors to leave their pets at home as we have some rare ducks and goats in the gardens. A map with marked picnic areas is included in the price of the ticket. Look for our Tregrehan Café on the map, too. The café offers large selections of tea and coffee, freshly made cucumber sandwiches and home-made ice cream. We do not provide soups or warm dishes, but you are allowed to bring your picnic basket with you and enjoy lunch with your family or friends in the gardens. To anyone arriving at the gardens by bicycle, there is a special parking place for bikes as well as a number of lockers where you are free to store bags and equipment while you’re exploring the
gardens on foot. At the Ticket Office, please tell our staff about your means of transport to get a gift from us. We love nature and like to reward those who reach us in a way that does not harm the environment.
Opening hours: March–May: daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, June–October: Mondays only
from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Admission fees: Adults £6.00, Kids free. There’s free entry to Tregrehan Café for everyone – no need to buy a ticket. Even if you’re not visiting the gardens, we’d still love to see you!

Me and my grandfather
My grandfather came from a very poor family of potato farmers. Although he died when I was only seven, he has played an important role in my life. I was not only named after him, I also inherited1 many of his books and share his love of history. As a history teacher, I love to read about past ages in his books. In one of them, I once found a photograph of him singing in a church. I have never believed in God, unlike my grandfather, but the memories of him singing religious songs to me still move me greatly. His faith was surely one of the reasons for finishing his medical studies successfully, but not the only one. He had a very strong will2 with his medical studies, but surprisingly not with his bad habit. Even as a doctor, he loved smoking cigars and that’s definitely not the route I want to follow.
My grandfather was actually given the first name Herric, but while studying at university he changed the spelling to Herrick. For a long time, nobody in my family knew what made my grandfather add a ‘k’ to the end of his name, but I’ve done some research and found the reason. Herrick is the original Old English spelling of the name, which dates back to the 11th century. I’ve always been Herrick, and that’s fine with me.
Another thing that belonged to my grandfather is a gold ring. When I was at secondary school, my grandmother gave it to me and told me its story. She didn’t remember who had given it to my grandfather. Perhaps he got it from a patient who found him important in his life. But one day, he lost it while working on the family farm and couldn’t find it. The farm was later bought by a family friend. One day the friend came to my grandfather’s office and anded him the long-lost ring. He found it in the field and recognised it by the initials on the inside.
I also have a photo of Winston Churchill, which used to be in my grandfather’s office, where he is smoking a cigar. As a small boy I used to think the man in the picture might be my grandfather, who also smoked cigars, and that’s why they looked similar to me. When someone told me it was Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister, I believed he and my grandfather were friends. Later I was told that my grandfather had kept the picture to show how greatly he had loved and respected Churchill, although he had never met him. It was given to him by one of his patients.
My grandfather could have been a successful big-city doctor, but he chose to work in his hometown as a general practitioner3. Unlike specialists in just one medical field, such local doctors had to be good at everything and my grandfather was no exception. He treated people, delivered babies and did surgery. And even though he didn’t like working on a farm, he was always ready to help his beloved local farmers. I think he had a special reason for doing all that for his neighbours. The town helped pay for my grandfather’s studies, as his parents could not afford it. I am sure that refusing attractive job offers in the city and coming back to work for the town as a doctor was a natural way for my grandfather to pay it back.

Facebook started out after Zuckerberg’s introduction of Facemash.com in October 2003. At that time, Zuckerberg was studying at Harvard University in the United States. After hacking into Harvard’s database, Mark (52) (B) was able ) to load the Facemash site with pictures of students. Facemash site visitors (Zuckerberg’s Harvard classmates) had the chance to compare the pictures side by side and decide who was “hot1” and who was “not”.
However, (53) _ (B) a few) days later some angry students asked Zuckerberg to shut the site down because they didn’t want their photos on the site. However, one thing was clear, many people wanted (54) (B) to look up) pictures of their friends on the Internet.
(55) (C) on) 11th January 2004, Zuckerberg registered the facebook.com domain. According to Mark, Facebook (56) (A) was created ) thanks to the inspiration from the Facemash incident.

Soon after that, more universities (57) (C) joined) the network.
Facebook is different from (58) (B) other) social networking sites. People say that Facebook is better (59) (A) because) you can communicate with people you really know and trust. Before, (60) (A) most) people didn’t share their real identities online. Facebook has given people a safe environment in (61) (C) which) they can interact online.

In 2005, (62) (A) a) university magazine in Australia published a study which said that about 85% of students on the Internet had accounts on Facebook. At the end of 2005, Facebook was introduced in the U.K. and since 2006 the site (63) (C) has been ) available in 35 languages.
