Listening Test-May 2 (9th Form)


Nº 4

Listening Test-9th form-May 2022
Narrator: Is this a dream?! Maybe! Or maybe artist Marc Chagall is mixing memories of his home in Russia with folktales he heard when he was little. He was living far from home, in the big city of Paris, France when he painted this picture.

Look at the big cow again. Did you notice that thin line connecting her eye to the eye of the man?

Maybe Chagall connected them because he remembered how much the animals and people in his town relied on each other.
Maybe all nature was important—check out the tree the green man is holding with clouds of seeds bursting out of it. Chagall said:
Artist, Marc Chagall (read by an actor): Our whole inner world is reality.
Narrator: He meant that what we see in our imaginations can be as important as what we see with our eyes. How you would you paint your feelings about your home town?

A search on Sunday found the Piper Malibu plane on the seabed off Guernsey, almost two weeks after it went missing.
The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed the sighting on Monday morning.
It added it was now considering the next steps.
The "substantial amount of wreckage" of the plane, which went missing on 21 January, was found on Sunday morning after a privately-funded search began.

Exercise on the Reported Speech - classroom exercise

The Reported Speech- Exercises


If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech. Therefore, you need to learn how to transform direct speech into reported speech. The structure is a little different depending on whether you want to transform a statement, question or request.

These links will help you on the Reported Speech transformations
