PlayStopX2. What did the woman eat at the food festival?
Správně2. What did the woman eat at the food festival?
Last weekend, there was a food festival in my city. And a friend of mine, Robert, wanted me to go. The first stall was selling grilled fish. Robert tried it and said it was delicious. He thought it was a pity I refused to have any fish, but he didn’t insist that I try. What I was really looking forward to trying was Chinese food. But there was such a long queue to get a bowl of rice with vegetables. I wasn’t willing to wait and, in the end, I didn’t have any. So, Robert suggested we have a hamburger in the American stall, instead of the Chinese food. Meanwhile I discovered that there was an Italian stall with pizza and I had a slice of that. It was tasty but I was still quite hungry. However, when I returned to the American stall, there was no food left.

PlayStopXSprávně3. Which postcard did the couple decide to send to Mary?
A: John, which postcard shall we send to Mary? Definitely one with the sea on it. How about this one? It also has some mountains in the background. It’s so romantic.
B: Maybe too much. Look at the woman on the postcard, she’s just standing on the beach, alone.
A: C’mon John, this is art. Maybe she is waiting for a boat.
B: Why do you think she is waiting for a boat? There isn’t any on the postcard. But the idea with the boat is good, Mary likes boats. How about this one? There is the same woman as on the first postcard but this time, she is sitting on the beach. And she is watching a boat sailing away.
A: Well, if there were some mountains in the background as well, I wouldn’t mind buying it. Although I like the idea of the sitting woman, I still prefer the postcard where the woman is standing, the one I picked out first.
B: Okay, let’s buy the one you prefer. I can always make some photos of boats sailing on the sea during our stay and show them to Mary when we get back.Špatně3. Which postcard did the couple decide to send to Mary?

PlayStopXSprávně4. What is the man selling?
Hi everybody, I’ve just moved and my beautiful and comfortable bed simply doesn’t fit in my new flat. I’m not selling it; I only want to exchange it with someone for a smaller bed. My bed is in good condition and suitable for a large bedroom. I bought it along with a bedside table, but I want to keep the bedside table. I’m also offering a nice chair for sale. I’m prepared to discuss the price. And I’m giving an antique mirror away for free. It has a lovely gold frame. A mirror like this is hard to buy these days.

PlayStopX5 Paul came to visit his mum by bus.
Správně2. část poslechu
A: Come in, Paul.
B: I came as soon as possible, mom. To avoid the usual afternoon traffic jams, I thought a bus would be a better choice than going by car, but it wasn’t. I should have taken the car. Well, you sounded worried in the phone?
A: I sure am worried, it’s my computer again. It started to make funny noises and it even turned itself off. Something must be wrong with it.
B: Mom, that’s nothing unexpected for such an old PC as you have. I would be surprised if it was working properly. This is not the first time it has happened. Okay, what exactly have you been doing with your PC this time?
A: Well, I only opened my mailbox to check my emails, then I wanted to do online shopping for some books but I didn’t get as far as that because the screen went black before I could even start.
B: Don’t be upset. If you wait for a while, you can use my laptop and do whatever you need on it. I’ll finish upgrading the software on my laptop in ten minutes. Or I can lend you my smartphone and you can open the internet from there right now.
A: That’s very kind of you, but I will wait till you finish the upgrade instead of using your smartphone. Anyway, what to do with my computer?
B: I’ll phone my phone Jerry. He can repair anything, except computers, but he knows a girl who works as an IT specialist and repairs other people’s computers as a hobby.
A: Yeah, those who repair things in their free time as a hobby can do miracles. Just like your uncle’s friends we called last time to repair our washing machine, they did a great job. The machine has been working without any problem since then. But I think repairing my PC might be a waste of time. It’s time to buy a new one. How much do you think it will cost?
B: It depends. I recommend the one I’ve seen in the shopping centre. It costs $500, you can even play PC games on it.
A: Darling, I’m not willing to pay more than $300 for it. It makes no sense for me to buy a computer worth $500 when I only need one for emails and shopping. Would you come along with me to choose one?
B: Sure, how about tomorrow? Shall I pick you up here?
A: Oh, there’s no need, Paul. The bus leaves from here to the shopping centre every quarter of an hour and it doesn’t take more than 25 minutes to get there.
B: Fine then, let’s meet at the shopping centre at 2:30.Špatně2. část poslechu

SprávněHello everybody, welcome to Cobham house and its amazing garden.
I will be your guide today and my name is John Ackley, spelled A-C-K-L-E-Y.
In medieval times, this name meant an area with oak trees and during our tour today, we are really going to see some. Cobham house has been open as a museum since 1908. In the museum, you will also try some activities. Children will find out how difficult it was to wash dishes 300 years ago. Meanwhile, the adults can try to bake bread. We hope this will help you understand what it was like to live in the time before the invention of electricity. Now, let’s have a few more words about the history of the house and its garden. The house, which is set in a traditional cottage garden is a typical 15th century building. The furniture and the carpets in the house are all from the 17th century though. As you can see, the house looks like a typical family home. But at first, it served as an office owned by a rich businessman. In 1560, the house was sold to the Barrett family who immediately moved in and started gardening in the place of today’s garden. They also changed the color of the house from white to brown. Other 15th century houses in the area are white. The house stayed in the hands of the Barrett’s for another hundred years, until 1695 when they had to sell it due to financial difficulties. A year later, in 1696, the family decided to go to America and start a new life there. Since the Barrett family left the house, the number of plants in the garden has increased. Today, you can find over 170 herbs and, of course, other plants in the garden too. The present owners of the place produce oil from the plants and you have an opportunity to taste it in our gift shop. Now, if you want to take a guided tour of the garden, you’ll have an opportunity to do so. The tour starts at the gates to the garden at 2:45. The owner of the house himself will be waiting for you there to show you around the garden. Please, don’t enter the garden before the tour starts. Now, let’s go and see what’s inside.ŠpatněHello everybody, welcome to Cobham house and its amazing garden.

PlayStopX22 Why does the man want to move out of his flat?
SprávněI’m moving out of my flat, although it is in the city centre and that’s where I’ve always wanted to live. The city centre is noisy, I know, but I don’t mind. I hardly ever hear the traffic in my flat. And when I keep my windows closed, my place is silent. The traffic could be a problem if you travel to your office by car. So, the position of the flat I am moving from is convenient for those who work in the city centre. But, as I am starting to work from home next month, the distance from work isn’t an issue for me anymore. What became a problem was finding enough space in the flat for all the things I need to work from home. So I need a flat with much more space. Fortunately, I found one suitable. And, as the new flat is as sunny as the flat I’m leaving, I’m happy.

B: Yes, I definitely can. He is so polite. It sure is different to the behaviour of some of our colleagues who have no idea what being polite means. What he and the other colleagues in the office have in common though, is the mess they have on their desks. Okay, unless he puts his things on my desk, I don’t mind. What makes me feel a bit uncomfortable though, is how friendly he is with everybody. You know, I’m a bit shy, and not used to chatting with others on every occasion. I don’t understand how he manages to have all his work done when he stops for a chat with every time anybody walks by. He’s only been here for a week and he’s already done more work than some other employees in a month. Amazing.ŠpatněA: Sophie, I met your new colleague Peter.

Baby Bear’s Visit
Yesterday Mr Volk was woken up in his upstairs bedroom by a strange noise coming from downstairs. When he got there, he saw a baby bear searching the kitchen cupboards. He discovered that the hungry animal had entered the house through an open window in
the living room. In there, the bear had a cake left on the table. Then it went into the kitchen where it found rolls and beans. After leaving the ground floor in a complete mess, the animal left the house without ever noticing Mr Volk. The rest of Mr Volk’s family, who were sleeping upstairs, didn’t know what was going on. Mr Volk contacted the police, who later found
the baby bear in the neighbours’ garden. The police called the zoo to ask if a baby bear had escaped from there, but the zoo said no. It was clear that the wild animal’s mother had died in the nearby mountains. However, the zoo showed interest in having the animal so the police transferred it there.(www.metro.co.uk, upraveno)

Last week in Maransk, Russia, a kindergarten teacher was in the garden with some children when policemen arrived and asked her to count them. When she did, she found that two boys were missing. The teacher was in shock because she hadn’t noticed the boys weren’t there. She thought the policemen came to take her to the police station. But instead, they opened their car door and the two boys got out. The policemen informed the teacher that a driver had seen the boys all alone in front of a car shop. As it seemed strange, the driver took them to the police station. There, the boys told the policemen about a tunnel they had been preparing for a week and how they had escaped from the kindergarten through it. Then they walked to the place where the driver later saw them. The boys said that all they wanted to do there was to buy a car. Although the boys’ parents did not make any official complaint, the teacher lost her job anyway.

2015 was the most tragic year in the history of the highest mountain, Mount Everest. Eighteen people were killed there when an earthquake1 hit the area on April 25. Due to dangerous conditions, all climbers then left the mountain so nobody got to the top of it in 2015. The last time this had happened was in 1974. There was only one expedition on Mount Everest that year. It consisted of six people who were all killed on their way up by a large amount of snow falling down the mountain. In that expedition, there were five local guides who had reached the top many times before and one Frenchman. He wanted to be the first French climber to
reach the top of Mount Everest but it took four more years for a Frenchman to get to the top. (www.telegraph.co.uk, http://www.en.wikipedia.org, http://www.everesthistory.com; upraveno)

My Fight With Headaches
blog by Laura McFlurryI woke up last Saturday morning with a headache. I got up thinking about what to do to
stop it – a pill always helps but it’s not good for my stomach. So, Grandma suggested I try drinking herbal tea instead. The tea has always helped her. She made me a cup of it and I drank it. It tasted good but that was all. The pain didn’t disappear. So I asked my mum to
give me a massage and she did. I was hopeful that a massage would definitely help stop my headache. To my surprise, it got worse! Trying to avoid taking a pill, I searched the Internet for help and found a series of pictures of head and neck exercises. After doing them properly I was feeling better each minute. I was excited. Although I hadn’t taken the pill, the headache was gone. What do you do when you have a headache?

Basic informationGrand Camp is one of the twelve places in Greenwood National Park where visitors can camp. Grand Camp is located at Greenwood Lake and there are
430 places where you can put up your tent or park your car. This number makes it the second largest camp in the Park. You will find more places for tents and cars in Greenwood National Park only at Bridge Bay Camp, north of Grand Camp.
At the entrance you will find The Grand Camp Shop where you can buy equipment you might need: tents, sleeping bags, camping cookers and so on. The shop also offers used camping items. You can use them during your stay here, after you pay a small fee. You must return them on departure.
Please note that there are strict rules regarding dogs in Greenwood National Park. They must not run free at any camp in the Park and taking them hiking in the Park with you is not recommended. However, if you do so, you mustn’t leave official hiking paths. We suggest that you leave your dog at home.
Greenwood Lake is a place where you can enjoy swimming and other activities. Fishing is also allowed. The camp owners arrange fishing tours so if you’re interested, come to the main building any morning at 5am, which is the only time of the day they set off for the tour. But if you miss the tour departure, feel free to go fishing by yourself any time you’d like. Remember to bring your fishing permit with you.
Grand Camp Seasons
High season (July 1–August 31) During this very busy season, it is impossible to get a place to camp without booking it first.
Low season (June 7–30, September 1–15) Although it isn’t a busy season, we still recommend that you make a reservation before your arrival. However, if you don’t, there’s still a good chance you will get a place to camp on arrival.

Grandpa Rainbow
In the Taiwanese city of Taichung, there is a place now called Rainbow Village. It has only one inhabitant – an 86-year-old former soldier called Grandpa Rainbow. But 10 years ago, he almost lost his home as the Taiwanese government wanted to destroy the village.
The village was built in 1949 as temporary housing for soldiers and their families. But over the years, the houses became permanent homes. The inhabitants didn’t take care of the houses so the houses became ugly. But the Taiwanese government couldn’t make the people improve the place. Over a period of time, the inhabitants moved out until it was only Grandpa Rainbow living there. The government realised the place could be better used. Although a company wanted to buy the area to build modern buildings there, the government decided to keep it. However, the government liked the idea of building modern buildings there. To do that they decided to destroy the village and to hire a company to build the buildings there. When archaeologists heard about the government’s decision, they asked if they could carry out archaeological research in the village before it was destroyed. The government agreed.When Grandpa Rainbow heard that the government was planning to destroy his village, he became very sad. ‘This is the only home I’ve ever known’, he said. So to save the village, he bought cans of paint and started painting. He painted hundreds of colourful animals on the walls. On doors he painted the soldiers who used to live there. He painted green snakes on the pavements of the village. He painted hearts on the windows to show that the village was still alive. What began as a single yellow parrot on the wall of his house has grown into thousands of paintings. Soon, the village had become a real-life storybook.
One night, a student saw Grandpa Rainbow walking down the village street. After taking a few photos of Grandpa Rainbow’s art and listening to his story, the student shared it on social media and asked people to support Grandpa Rainbow. People were amazed at Grandpa Rainbow’s love for his village and wanted to help. Within a month, the government was inundated by thousands of e-mails from citizens. They demanded that the government save the old village. They also wanted the government to provide Grandpa Rainbow with a bigger pension1. With such a huge number of e-mails sent in such a short period of time, the government had no choice and agreed to both demands. Grandpa Rainbow could stay in his Rainbow Village.
But Grandpa Rainbow didn’t stop painting. ‘There are many things I can’t do anymore, but I can still paint’, he says. ‘Despite so many people coming to the village to admire my work, I’m lonely. Painting brings me fans but they don’t stay long enough to become my friends as well. However, I still enjoy painting because it brings me back to my childhood when I was happy and physically strong. It makes me remember things I used to enjoy before I became a soldier and my life changed. It’s not an activity I’d recommend to people my age, though, as my back starts hurting soon after I start painting. I know that what I do is unusual for retired soldiers to do in their free time. But I absolutely love it.’
1.25 million tourists with cameras visit Rainbow Village every year. Only a few manage to take
a photo of Grandpa Rainbow himself as he is often in hospital now. His house is the number one thing everyone photographs. Nobody leaves the village without taking a photo of it. Sometimes somebody takes a photo of his cans of paint – most often along with his brush. Occasionally, art students visit the village. It’s Grandpa Rainbow’s largest painting on the pavement that attracts them the most. They paint their own copy of it and take it home with them.1 pension: důchod (peníze)

Drone Racing – Sport of the Future?
-
Drones are not just small toys. Nowadays, they are also professional machines that can be used for (50) (several) purposes. They can be used to transport goods, take pictures and for many (51) (other) things, but the latest trend is to use them in sports. Drone racing began in Australia in 2013. Since then it (52) (has become) an extremely popular sport. In fact, the sport is (53) (so) popular that many people believe it is one of the sports of the future.
The sport is exciting for the competitors and very attractive to both the public and the media, US television channels are especially interested (54) (in) drone racing. Races are also recorded and uploaded to various websites, for example YouTube, where the videos (55) (are watched) over and over again.
Drone races take (56) (place) either outdoors in big stadiums, or indoors in old factories and sports arenas. (57) (During) the race, pilots fly their drones through gates and around flags at speeds of over a hundred miles (58) (an) hour. To win a race, a pilot must complete a course as fast as possible and also reach the finish line with the best score. Competitions are usually short because the battery time of drones (59) (is limited) .
Drones (60) (used) in competitions are called quads1. Competitors use light and powerful quads which (61 (are able) to fly at a high speed. Every drone has a camera attached to it so that spectators can also see the flights on a big screen. (62) (Although) drone racing started only a few years ago, there are already international competitions. In professional leagues, drone pilots compete for thousands of dollars.
It doesn’t (63) (matter) whether you are a professional or amateur competitor, you are responsible for any accident your drone may cause. If a drone (64) (hits) a person or an animal, it can cause painful injuries. Despite the fact that racing with drones is fun, it can also be quite a dangerous sport.(www.english-online.at, singularityhub.com, cs.wikipedia.org; upraveno)
