Listening. 1 2 3 4 5 A B D C B Tapescript In the 776 BC the Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympic to honor the Greeks chief god, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running jumping, discus and javelin throwing boxing and horse chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners completed every four year at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed in their heads and poems were sung about their deeds. Originally, these were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four year cycles called “Olympiad” dating from 776 BC. 2. Reading 1 2 3 4 5 D B B C C 3.

I sometimes spend more time watching it at weekends. One of my favourite programes is “The way to Olympia Peak”. It is always on from 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock on VTV 3 on Sundays. I like watching it because the three competitors on each show are very intelligent. They are all advanced students from different schools. They have to answer several questions about general knowledge of natural and social sciences. Many questions are very challenging for me. I am interested in watching it but I don’t think I am able to take part in the program.
