We used to boo the villains and cheer the heros Some kids used to throw popcorn at the screen when the villain came on - the cinema staff sometimes tried to stop us but usually they gave up! The endingwas always completely predictable of course - the hero always won, and we’d cheer like crazywhen he did! www.frenglish.ru В A N U N C E R T A IN F U T U R E Future plans i-aimm Read the conversation Put the phrases into the correct places Then listen and check when you leave school get a good degree to start a family and then travel the world then retire before I think about settling down MUM So, Greg, have you thought about which university you want to go to yet?

W rite letters in the boxes in the text A Conclusion В Early life C Introduction to the person D Main achievements You're going to write a short biography Think of something in your country (e.g a street, an airport, a square) that has the name of a famous person Make notes about the person's life Do research on the Internet if you need to Decide which information is most important to include in a biography Now write the biography • Make sure that you include information that makes it clear why the place was named after the person • Follow the structure of the biography about Tambo • Write 150-200 words Johannesburg is my home city, and the international airport here is called O R Tambo airport It is named after Oliver Tambo, who not many people know much about - almost everyone has heard of Nelson Mandela, but Tambo is not as well known around the world Oliver Reginald Tambo (everyone knew him as O R.) was born in I9I7 in an area of South Africa now known as the Eastern Cape As a young man he studied education and for a while he was a teacher Later, he gave up teaching to study law, and in 1952 he joined Nelson Mandela’s law firm These were the years of apartheid in South Africa Tambo, like Mandela, was part of the African National Congress (ANC), which was an illegal organisation at that time Mandela was sent to prison on Robben Island and Tambo left the country - he lived at different times in Zambia and in London He was the ‘president in exile’ of the ANC and worked very hard to get support from other countries in the struggle to end apartheid He went back to South Africa in 1990, when the ANC became legal But he had a stroke and could not work any longer, so he passed the presidency of the ANC to Mandela Tambo died in I993, before he could see the first black government of his country In 2006, the airport was renamed after him to honour his achievements And to sum up, I think that this honour rightly recognised the very important role that Tambo played in the development of the country he loved www.frenglish.ru C A M B R I D G E EN GLISH: First ■ TriiNK EXAMS S P E A K IN G Part 3: Collaborative task Imagine your school is organising a week's trip for the students in your year Here are some ideas for some of the places they could take you and a question to discuss First you have some time to look at the task Г a big city in your own co un try / a town or city in a foreign co un try Now talk to each other about why students might want to go to these places Then decide which would be the best place to go on a school trip Part 4: Follow-up discussion Discuss the following questions Do you think it's important for schools to offer trips like these?
