LISTENING

1. Have you ever asked yourself why we watch movies? Listen to these ideas and choose TRUE or FALSE for the statements below.

Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it lying upside down
When you finally find it, you'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter when you turn it around

Everything stays right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly, daily and nightly
In little ways, when everything stays

Go down to the ocean
The crystal tide is raising
Waters' gotten higher as the shore washes out
Keep your eyes wide open, even when the sun is blazin'
The moon controls the tide, it can cause you to drown

Everything stays, right where you've left it
Everything stays, but it still changes
Ever so slightly, daily and nightly
In little ways
When everything stays

# Never Forget 9/11

On the morning of Septemeber 11th, 2001, a Boeing 767 hit the World Trade Center around 8:40 AM. Another plane ended up colliding with the south tower a short time later, and both of the towers ultimately collapsed. A Boeing 757 also hit the Pentagon; this was all part of a terrorist attack carried out be Al Qaeda in attempt to neutralize the threat of the USA assisting many governments that Al Qaeda was trying to attack.

Over 2,900 people, including 400+ first responders died in 9/11. These first responders, which included firefighters, police officers, and EMS, all sacrificed their lives to save others. Additionally, 300K-500K people were rescued by ferry boats and the coast guard, which is the largest waterborne rescuse mission ever.

Let this day be one to remember 9/11 and how significant of an impact it had on not just the US, but also on the world. Furthermore, any 9/11 related jokes or serious discussions about it will be met with serious punishments.

I'm a typical student, I suppose. I study hard during the week and go out with my friends at the weekend. I don't have much free time but I've got lots of hobbies. I play tennis occasionally, about once every two months, and I do judo every now and then when I'm at home with my family. I don't do any sport at university, though. I watch TV most days for about an hour, but I hardly ever read. No books, no magazines, nothing! I listen to music all the time - in the car, in my room, when I'm doing homework, when I'm going to sleep. I love it. My favourite group is Coldplay but I like lots of different types of music. I go to concerts quite often, usually three or four times a year, and I always enjoy them.

My other big hobby is my computer. I don't play games on it - I think they're boring - but I'm online nearly every day. I chat to my friends on Facebook and look at photos, and I download films and music. I love watching films. I watch a film on TV almost every day and I go to the cinema twice a month, more or less. I don't like horror films - they're scary! - but I like romantic films and action films. I never read books but I read the newspaper every day online. I'm not into politics but I like reading about famous people. I think it's interesting.

So that's me. I'm a very ordinary person, really. I'm not a sportsman but I like playing tennis and doing judo. I'm not a bookworm but I love watching films and reading newspapers. And I'm not a musician but I'm always listening to music.
