Аудирование (скрипт + разъяснения)
Speaker 1
We visited Southern Spain in the first week of half term. The purpose of the trip was to enjoy the art and
architecture of the region, particularly the mediaeval Moorish influence. And, of course, to enjoy the taste of
Spanish food and society. Without a guide, but well supplied with guidebooks, we could really take our time and
enjoy the country. Organizing all our own sightseeing and meals gave us considerable flexibility, and not being
tied to a guide and a timetable turned out to be quite a bonus. Finally, we made out way back to the aiport by
taxi, train and bus. It was a highly successful trip in every way!
Жирным шрифтом выделены слова, которые выражают главную мысль текста. Говорящий утверждает,
что без гида они могли не спешить и наслаждаться страной (Without a guide… we could really take our time
and enjoy the country); они сами организовывали осмотр достопримечательностей (Organizing all our own
sightseeing); и не были привязаны к гиду (not being tied to a guide). Все это значит, что он чувствовал себя
свободно во время путешествия - The speaker felt quite free and flexible on his tour.
Speaker 2
Eight days of hiking in Marocco. Just imagine it. On the first day we met our guide. A local man with
dreadlocks. Actually he was a nice chap and very experienced. The days were filled with travelling. We started
the trek, and walked, with small ten minutes rest every hour, if we were lucky for about seven hours. At nights
we slept next to the river which was an extremely pleasant place. One night, though, we were shocked by the
monsoon style rain and hurricane. We enjoyed the Morroccan food. After eight days of the expedition we left
exausted and in tears.
В этом высказывании для ответа на вопрос нам нужно понять всего лишь одно предложение, которое так
легко потерять в этом рассказе. Девушка говорит, что одной ночью они были поражены сильным ливнем
и ураганом, что соответствует - The speaker experienced some severe weather conditions during the trip.

Going to Berlin was a fantastic experience as it is truly the most diverse city in the world. Apart from the usual
tourist attractions there are plenty of other areas worth visiting. Also, I found the German people not to be as
serious and efficient as I thought they would be. They were very friendly and hospitable. It’s a shame that future
6 formers won’t have an oportunity to go on this exchange in future because our partner school is restricting it to
4th years.
Здесь важно понять последнее предложение. Он говорит о том, что шестиклассники не смогут совершить
такую поездку в следующем году, т.к. школа-партнер вводит ограничения до четвертого класса.
Несомненно, это сложное предложение, но для ответа вам может помочь глагол restrict (ограничивать),
однокоренной со словом restriction, которое есть в утверждении из списка. Итак, ответ - There will be
restrictions for making the trip in future.
Speaker 4
We spent three weeks travelling around South East Asia. On arrival the group was met by our chief guide, who
briefed us on the forthcoming trek and provided the necessary sleeping bags, carry mats and supplies. Next
morning we headed into the jungle first by minibus and then by boat. Our first port of call was the Canopy walk,
basically a rope walkway suspended between tress 40 foot above the ground. Then the group left the river and set
off on foot to explore the interior.
Говорящий рассказывает, что их группу встретил гид (on arrival the group was met by our chief guide),
снабдил необходимыми спальными мешками, матрасами и питанием (provided the necessary sleeping bags,
carry mats and supplies). Соответственно, ответ - The group was under control of the guide who gave required
provisions and instructions.
Speaker 5
This year I had decided to organize the work experience week in a different part of France and with a different
company. Indeed, though the week in Brittany had been a success every time, the main problem was in the
evening as the boys were all staying together and, therefore, speaking English. Trying to make them speak
French to each other, after having spent the day at their work placement trying to understand what was going on,
was a very difficult task.
В ключевых фразах речь идет о том, что говорящей было трудно заставить английских школьников
говорить друг с другом на французском во время поездки во Францию. Хотя, в общем, поездка всегда
была успешной (the week in Brittany had been a success every time). Т.е. Language was the only problem
during the trip.
Speaker 6
As we departed from Hampton, having been on the exchange before I thought that there wouldn’t be anything
new to me, except the language perhaps. As I found out over the next week France always has new experieces to
offer. The French host families were very kind and understaning while we spent the weekend with our hosts so
we felt as if we were back at home – well, apart from having to speak French, obviously! Our guides had planned
a range of excursions, including cultural, sporting and entertainment centers of the city.
Здесь важно понять выражение host family – гостевая семья, а также host - тот, кто принимает
гостей. Тогда по контексту можно понять или догадаться, что говорящая жила во французской семье
во время своего прибывания во Франции - The speaker stayed with a local family during the trip.
