Вопрос: You will hear British teenagers answering the question “What book do you think a!l kids should read?”. Which genres do they prefer? Listen to the recording. Mark (v) the appropriate box in the table. The genres may be chosen more than once. You will hear the recording twice. 
Текст для аудирования: 
1. I think kids should definitely read books by Agatha Christie. They are great if you like mystery books with murders and adventure in them. My favourite book is called And Then There Were None. I think it’s brilliant! 
2. I think everyone, who likes reading stories about history, should read Walter Scott’s novels. At the moment I’m reading Rob Roy by Walter Scott. In his novels, Scott describes the life, customs and habits of Scottish people. The descriptions are very realistic as he studied them deeply. 
3. I recommend Jane Eyre by Charlotte Вгоnte to everybody, who enjoys exciting stories of love, adventure and mystery. And I enjoy reading Jane Austen’s novels. They are really funny once you understand the funny way of speaking. 
4. Well I have read so many books and in my opinion kids should read a science book called What Makes Me, Me? by Robert Winston. It’s very interesting, informative, educational and easy to understand. 
5. I recommend the mystery books by Carolyn Keene about the young girl, Nancy Drew, who brilliantly solves the crimes. The first one I read was The Broken Locket and now I love the stories and the characters. I found most of the stories very enjoyable and the best thing about the books was that they never got boring. 
6. I think children should definitely read reference books and encyclopedias if they want to learn a lot. This will help them to understand the world — when, how, why and by whom we’ve got to our present state. 
7. I think people should read books they like. I prefer to learn interesting facts about other people’s lives. That’s why I like Boy and Going Solo by Roald Dahl. I particularly like the author’s sense of humour and his inventive language.

What do they think about modern music? Fill in the gaps with the words from the box. 
• I like listening to classics in pop and rock. Take Sting, for example.

He (2) recorded and (3) realized 12 albums where most (4) lyrics and tunes are wonderful. He is a (5) unique musician. 
• I think many young people listen to the awful noise they call music. There are musicians who can’t even play their musical (6) instruments. Though their music is (7) aggressive, they are (8) idols for some young people. Such music doesn’t (9) entertain but destroys. I don’t like it! 
• I am sorry that the music on CDs is different from the music at the concerts. Their (10) albums/ recordings sound different because at the concerts they don’t have the high-tech computers and (11) synthesizers they have in the studios. I like singers whose music is real. 
• I’d say that today’s dance music is really good. Every month 20 groups and singers (12) enter the best dance music chart and each of them is great! I can’t help dancing to their music! 
• I don’t like that today most successful musicians don’t (13) tour the world very often and prefer to sell their (14) albums/ recording. I’d like to go to concerts to see and listen to them.

Ответы:
Dear Roman, 
You asked me about my favourite subjects. I enjoy music classes because I like to sing. I have been learning to play the guitar for 3 years and I am in the school rock group. We perform at all the school parties. We play the music of popular performers. It's great! Rather often (3 or 4 times a year) we go to the classical music concerts. I can’t say I like it very much but we have to go because it's part of our school music programme. We usually write compositions about what we like or dislike about the concert after that. Do you have music lessons in your school? Have you got a rock group and a school choir in your school? What music do they sing or play? Do you and your classmates go to classical music concerts? What do you think about them? 
Your friend, 
Dan

Dear Dan!
Thank you for your letter. You have a very interesting pastime. It’s great that you spend so much time enjoying the music. We have music lessons at school but unfortunately only once a week as I enjoy musical lessons too. There is a musical choir in our school and the songs they sing and play are unforgettable. They often organize great performances at our school where choir singers do their best. We sometimes meet with my friends and play some rock songs. Sometimes we with my classmates go to classical concerts and they are really marvelous. I really enjoy classical composers. It would be really nice to visit one of the concerts with you.
What do you think about this idea?
Your friend,
Roman.

3) I am looking forward to the country music festival. I don’t know the programme but I think that this year it will include folk and country music. 
4) Rock music is really my favourite and I spent three hours queuing up for the concert tickets. But I got them! So next Sunday I am going to a rock concert.
