Розділ VI. Семестровий контроль (кредити №3, №4)

1. Comprehension task.

1.1. Listen to the article about Manchester. Choose the correct answer a, b, c or d.

Manchester is the "capital" of the north-west of England. Situated on the east bank of the River Irwell, it is a lively, bustling city with a large student population. Although it was once seen only as a dull, industrialized place, in recent years Manchester has become the "in" place to be. It is well-known for its trendy clubs, its fashion and music not to mention its world famous football team, Manchester United.

There's plenty to see in Manchester and something to suit all tastes. For example, you could have a taste of the Orient in Chinatown, home to Manchester's large Chinese population. Another place to visit is the historic Eastlefield area, which has the first urban heritage park in Britain. Here you can take a canal trip, stroll around the museums and experience the atmosphere of 19th century Manchester.

Football fans need not feel left out; they can always make a trip to the Old Trafford Manchester United Museum which also contains a coffee shop and a souvenir shop.

It's easy to find your way around the city centre and you're never too far away from a tram or a bus, which will take you wherever you want to go. However, many people prefer walking in a city where there's so much to see, and much of it is off the main travel routes.

But if you get tired with all that walking around, you can refresh yourself at one of the many cafe bars in the city. There is a wide variety of homely, old-fashioned or even eccentric ones. Whatever you do, you won't have a dull moment in the place which was recently awarded the title of "most interesting city in Europe". Despite its unpopular 55 industrial image in the past, Manchester is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination nowadays
