Текст аудирования:

Interviewer: Anna Richards is a fourteen-year-old student who recently visited the Florence Nightingale Museum. Anna, tell us why you went there.

Anna: Well, I was doing a project about Florence Nightingale at school. I found information on the Internet about her life. But then, a friend told me there was a museum dedicated to her life and work. Thattasks not all! The museum is really close to my house, so I knew I had to go. Interviewer: Did anyone go with you?

Anna: Yes. When I told my dad that I wanted to go, he decided to take me there. He was really happy that I wanted to learn more about such an important hero. He also thought it would help me with my school project.

Interviewer: What kind of things did you see at the museum?

Anna: Well, Florence Nightingale was known as the "Lady with the Lamp". Thattasks because she was famous for carrying a lamp as she helped soldiers in the Crimean War. The museum has the lantern she used in the war in its collection. That was amazing to see. There are over two thousand items in the collection. It even has her pet owl, Athena, on display.

Interviewer: That sounds really interesting! Did you learn anything interesting about her life?

Anna: Yes. There was a lot of information about her work. She dedicated her life to helping people in need. But she was also responsible for improving standards of nursing and making hospitals better places. She was a remarkable lady. She was responsible for improvements in the training of nurses. She campaigned all her life for a better health system.

Interviewer: So Florence Nightingaletasks life was completely dedicated to nursing, wasntaskt it?

Anna: It really was. I bought some things from the museum shop at the end of the day. One of the items I bought was a mug with a famous quotation from Florence Nightingale. It reads, "The first thought I can remember, and the last, was nursing work." I think that shows just how important nursing was to her. Interviewer: Did the museum visit help you with your school project?

Anna: Oh yes. It really helped. I already had lots to write about but the museum gave me even more information. I bought some postcards from the museum shop and I used them to make the project more colourful. My teacher was delighted with the work I put into the project. She gave me an taskAtask.

Creatures of legend

People all over the world love to tell stories of terrifying giants, magical unicorns and mysterious mermaids. Here are two of these magical tales!

Bolster the Giant

Boster was so big that with one step he could travel six miles from hilltop to hilltop! He lived in Cornwall on the tip of England and terrified the locals, stealing sheep aid even eating people. One day, though, he fell in love with a young girl called Agnes and asked her to marry him. Agnes didn’t want to, so she tried to think of a way to get rid ol him for goad. She asked him to do dangerous things to win her love but nothing worked, so she had one last idea. She asked him to fill up a hole in a nearby cliff with his blood. Bolster agreed. After all, how much giant’s blood does it take to fill a small hoe? The hole, though, led down into the sea. All his blood ran into the sea and that was the end of the evil giant. This is a very popular legend in Cornwall. Locals say you can still see a red stain on the cliffs at Chapel Porth!

Lara the mermaid

In Brazil, the locals tell the myth of the mermaid lara who lives in the Amazon River. One night, a young man dreamed of a beautiful woman singing a sad song. The next day, he went fishing with his father and saw the woman from his dream in a hut floating on the water. She sang to him and he went to her. Too late, the man’s father saw that the woman had the long tail of a pink dolphin. She grabbed the young man and dived into the water with him. His father never saw him again. To this day, the locals still say that they sometimes see the mermaid swimming deep in the water. And when they hear the sad song of the mermaid lara, they lock their doors and stay far away from the river!
