Task 1
1 Match texts A-G with headings 1-8. Each number can be used once. There is an extra heading.
A Ballet originated in the royal courts of Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, and later spread throughout Europe. К was brought to Russia by Peter the Great in the late 1600s. In Russia, ballet was not just entertainment in the courts; rt became popular with the general public. By the early 1900s, ballet had taken on its own character in Russia and began to influence the rest of Europe.
B World War 1 and the 1917 revolution looked like the end of classical ballet in Russia. Some of the ballet’s most famous stars left Russia to continue their careers abroad. But ballet did not die out and eventually the artists returned and the Soviet government sponsored new ballet companies.
C Russia is home to some old and renowned ballet companies. The Mariinsky Ballet is the oldest, established in St Petersburg in 1740. The Bolshoi Ballet was founded in 1776 in Moscow but did not fully develop its identity until the 1900s. Today, the Bolshoi has a bold and colourful style, while the Mariinsky is more classical. Both ballet companies are among the top in the world.
D The Russian ballet is immediately recognisable. It is athletic, featuring more dynamic leaps and turns than Italian ballet, which focuses more on quick movements of the feet. It has also been influenced by Russian folk dances, and folklore. Character dance, which uses techniques from the theatre, is also an important part of Russian ballet.
E An influential name in the history of ballet in Russia is Marius Petipa, a dancer, teacher and choreographer who worked as Ballet Master in the St Petersburg Imperial Theatre. The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutracker are two of his most famous creations, but he also brought older works back to life in a new way.
F Anna Pavlova was born in St. Petersburg in 1881. She was determined to become a ballet dancer, and after her studies, her talent and determination saw her rise to prima ballerina in just seven years. She was among the first Russian ballet dancers to tour the world. She also created her own ballet company, which gave her greater artistic freedom.
G The Vaganova method of teaching ballet is named after the Russian dancer, Agrippina Vaganova, who developed rt in the early 20th century. She had the original idea that students should focus on strengthening the centre of their body in order for the whole body to move in a natural, graceful way. This was quite innovative for its time. Today the Vaganova method is taught in ballet schools throughout the world.

Listening

5 I am careful about spending too much money.
6 I do not mind the negative side to the way I shop.
7 I have found a way to shop that suits my lifestyle.
Текст аудирования:
Speaker A
When the shops started opening on Sundays, I was the first customer. I suddenly realised, though, that my house was full of things that I’d bought and never used. So I decided to stop. I now think long and hard about anything I want to buy. I ask myself two questions. One: Do I really need the item? Two: Is there anything I can use instead of buying the item? I’ve saved loads of money that way.
Speaker B
I love shopping. It’s my hobby! Whenever I have any free time, the first place I go to is the shopping mall. I can spend entire days there. It’s like a day out. You can do some shopping, have a meal, do a little more shopping and finish with a film - and all under one roof.
I spend too much money, though, and I do get anxious about that, especially when I get my credit card bill at the end of the month.
Speaker C
Whenever I go to the supermarket, I always make a list first and stick to it. I make sure I ignore all those little extras they have around the checkout. If I want larger items, I’ll always wait for the sales. You can save a small fortune just by waiting a little and then getting the best bargains. And I don’t have any credit cards. That’s like borrowing money that you don’t have. I much prefer to save up for something.
Speaker D
I can see the attraction of these big shopping malls, but there’s something about the experience I don’t like. The air seems dry and recycled and I often leave these places with a really bad headache. I much prefer to buy whatever I need from the small shops in my area. I find the people are friendlier and you can stop and have a chat. It may cost a little bit more, but I feel it’s worth it.
Speaker E
I’m very busy during the week, so all my shopping has to be done on Saturday. I used to go into town, try and get everything on the list, only to find back home that I’d forgotten something. Shopping is so much easier on the Internet. I have time to find the things I want, get them at a better price, and have them delivered straight to my doorstep. I can even order food from the supermarket now. It’s much more convenient.
Speaker F
A lot of my friends use it, but I would never buy anything online. Some people are worried about credit card fraud. It does happen, I suppose, but for me, the problem is one of choice. I like window shopping. I love to take my time when shopping and perhaps buy something that I never expected to find. You can’t do that with the Internet - you have to know exactly what you’re looking for and it takes all the enjoyment out of the experience.
Task 2
5 You will hear a dialogue. Determine which of the given statements A-G correspond with the contents of the text (1-True), which do not correspond (2-False) and which are not given in the text, i.e. according to the text it is impossible to give either a positive or a negative answer (3-Not stated). You will hear the recording twice.
1 Every Sunday, John cooks dinner for the homeless.
2 Eating at the Royal Hotel Is quite expensive.
3 The restaurant staff receive a lot of tips.
4 The hotel never throws any food away.
5 The community centre depends on gifts from the youth club.
6 Ruth’s mother Is better at knitting than she is.
7 John thinks that wo should care about the homeless.
Текст аудирования:
John: I’ve been helping out at the community centre most weekends. Every Sunday they provide a roast dinner for the homeless. Why don’t you come along next Sunday?
Ruth: I’d love to come and help out, but on Sundays I’ve always got family commitments. Besides, I’m not a very good cook.
John: Neither am I, but the volunteers don’t actually do any cooking. You know The Royal - the big hotel next to the train station - well they deliver all the food, ready to serve. It’s very good of them. Apparently their head chef was homeless himself once and so he likes to do what he can for others in that situation now.
Ruth: That’s very good of him, but who pays for the food? It must cost quite a lot, I’ve eaten in the restaurant there and it wasn’t cheap.
John: Well, obviously the hotel is buying in bulk, so the prices are lower. And the restaurant staff help by contributing some of the tips they get during the week towards the cost. The hotel doesn’t charge for delivering the meals, and they sometimes send some extras too, like fruit, cakes and biscuits - any food they have that may soon be out of date. It’s much better than throwing it away.
Ruth: I really wish I could do something.
John: But you can! The community centre doesn’t just give the homeless a hot meal, we also provide them with clothing. Now that winter’s approaching, they’re going to need plenty of warm clothes as well as hats and gloves. We rely totally on donations of second-hand clothing from the public. The local youth club regularly lend a hand by going around the town doing door-to-door collections.
Ruth: Maybe I could help out with that side of things. I’ll put up a notice at work and organise a collection. And my mother and her friends all enjoy knitting so I’ll ask them to make some hats and gloves. I’m not as good at knitting as they are but I think I could manage to knit some scarves. They’d be useful wouldn’t they?
John: Of course. Every little helps. I know some people think that the homeless don’t deserve charity, but anyone can find themselves in that situation and I can’t imagine how awful it must be for them, especially in the winter.
Ruth: Absolutely! We don’t realise how lucky we are sometimes, do we?
