4.Проверка навыков аудирования. Listen to a short biography of the explorer, Alexander Mackenzie.

One of the most important men in the history of Canada was Alexander Mackenzie. He was bom in 1764 in Scotland. His family was poor and when he was ten, his mother died and he emigrated with his father to New York. When the American Revolution started in 1775, Mackenzie went north to Canada and worked for a company that traded in furs. In 1789, he went on his first expedition to find a way west to the Pacific coast. With a group of French Canadian guides and two Native Americans he canoed down one of the Longest rivers in the world, now called the Mackenzie River. They made rapid progress and on the fourteenth of July, 1789, Mackenzie arrived at the ocean. But it was the wrong ocean - it was the Arctic and not the Pacific! Mackenzie was disappointed and the return journey up the river was terrible. However, Mackenzie was a determined man. He went back to Britain to learn more about astronomy and geography for his next expedition. In May, 1793, he began his journey, travelling by canoe and on foot to the Rockies. At the Rockies, his men wanted to go back home, but Mackenzie persuaded them to carry on. Finally, on the twenty-second of July, 1793, the expedition got to the Pacific. Mackenzie and his men became the first Europeans to cross North America north of Mexico. Mackenzie's achievement was very important for Canada because it opened the way to the Pacific and meant that Canada now stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Mackenzie's expedition got home safely and Mackenzie went on to become a successful businessman. He then wrote a book about his remarkable travels that became a bestseller. The book shows something of Mackenzie's personality. He was not only very brave but was a natural Leader. He also treated the Native American people well and was interested in their customs. This attitude was not so common among Europeans in the late eighteenth century.
Order these events in his life.
Example d = l
a He went back to Britain to
study astronomy and geography.
b In his first expedition, he
travelled down a river by canoe.
c There his men wanted to turn back
but he persuaded them to go on.
d Alexander Mackenzie went to America when he was ten.
e They got to the ocean but it was the Arctic – the wrong one!
f In his second expedition, he went west to the Rockies.
g The expedition finally reached the Pacific Ocean.
b He worked for a company that traded in furs.

My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion )
Every night in my dreamsI see you, I feel you,That is how I know you go on
Far across the distanceAnd spaces between usYou have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you areI believe that the heart does go onOnce more you open the doorAnd you're here in my heartAnd my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one timeAnd last for a lifetimeAnd never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved youOne true time I hold toIn my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you areI believe that the heart does go onOnce more you open the doorAnd you're here in my heartAnd my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not go away
You're here, there's nothing I fear,And I know that my heart will go onWe'll stay forever this wayYou are safe in my heartAnd my heart will go on and on
