TRANSKRYPCJA NAGRAŃ

Zadanie 1.
Interviewer: Everybody loves the delicious food which you can buy from a food truck parked
in the street. But what if you’re at sea? In that situation you might want to check
out the pizzeria run by Sam Brown. He’s with us today. Sam, how did it all start?
Man: Hello. My wife and I went on holiday to the Caribbean. We loved the white
beaches and coral reefs so much that we decided to stay in the Caribbean
for good. We bought a little beach cottage and to earn a living we opened
a pizzeria. But our pizzeria has no address because it’s… on a boat!
Interviewer: Wouldn’t it be easier to work on the beach?
Man: Well, renting a pizzeria on the beach turned out to be too expensive. But one day
I saw an old boat in a port. I got it for free from the owner because it was in really
poor condition and the engine didn’t work. I fixed the engine myself and renovated
the boat. I also installed a special ventilation system, a pizza oven and fridges,
and here we are.
Interviewer: Who are your customers?
Man: People who live on their boats and don’t want to cook. Most of them just sail up
to us, form a kind of a queue to give their orders and then just pick the pizza up.
Interviewer: And how about the customers who can’t get to you?
Man: There are not many of them. But they can order our pizzas by radio, phone
or e-mail and then my wife takes the food to them in our small motorboat.
Unfortunately, we only have a licence to serve people who are on boats
on the sea. So, if you are, for example, on the beach we can’t deliver to you.
Interviewer: And the last question. What are your opening hours?
Man: We’re usually open from noon till midnight. We never work longer hours, even
on Saturdays. And from September to November we close earlier, so it’s best
to check the opening times.

One
Woman: Well, Big Rig is advertised as a truck racing game in which players have to transport
cargo across the US, avoiding the police and going faster than other drivers.
But there were only three old trucks to choose from and they looked silly. And what’s
more, when I started driving, the truck next to me didn’t move off the starting line,
so actually I had no competitors during my race! What a waste of time!

Woman: Do you want to feel like a racing car driver? Whichever type of car you like best,
a classic car, a Formula 1 racing car or a luxury car, you’ll find them in the options.
The best part is that more and more cars are being added to the selection, so you’ll
never run out of options. You can also choose your favourite racing track and add
special features when you score points. The graphics are excellent, so you will feel
like you are right behind the wheel.

Man: May I have your attention, please? Here’s some important information for
all competitors. Remember that you must remain in your cars at all times.
Anyone driving into other cars or into the barriers on purpose will be removed from
the competition. If you need help, drive to the side, stop the car and raise both arms
into the air. Then somebody will drive over to assist you. While you are out
on the track we will also communicate with you through a device in your helmets,
so listen carefully. You’ll be starting in a moment. The first car to cross the finishing
line 6 times will be the winner.

Zadanie 3.

One
Man: How was your trip to Japan?
Woman: Oh, it was fantastic.
Man: Did you use the public transport there? I’ve heard that Japanese trains are great…
Woman: I did, actually. But you won’t believe what happened. Japanese train companies are
very strict when it comes to timetables, but the train I was on departed a bit too soon.
To my surprise, in the evening I heard the train company spokesperson make
a statement about it on the news.
Man: Oh, really? On the news? What did he say?
Woman: He said they were very sorry for what had happened and would make sure that
in future all trains would leave precisely according to the timetable. Just imagine,
my train left just 20 seconds ahead of schedule!

Two
Woman: Have you ever burnt something while cooking? That’s what happened to a woman
in Sydney who decided to heat up some chicken for dinner. But what she didn’t know
was that her husband had put $15,000 in the oven. So when she heated the chicken,
she accidentally burnt the money. Her husband got it for selling his sports car two
weeks before. He thought the money would be safe in the oven because his wife
almost never used it!

Three
Woman: You love playing basketball, don’t you? So, how did it all start?
Man: When my parents moved to the USA, I was nine. I wasn’t happy at my new school
because I didn’t know anybody. So my parents told me to think of a hobby where
I could get to know other children. I chose basketball because it was a team game.
I was quite fit and I got into it immediately. Soon I became very good at it, but I never
thought about basketball as a possible career. It was just fun and I’m still in contact
with the people I met on the court years ago.

Four
Man: Harry Krame from New Jersey has finally returned a poetry book to his school library.
He borrowed it when he was a student 53 years ago. Recently, Harry discovered
the book by chance when he was cleaning his basement and he immediately went
to give it back. Normally students pay 10 cents per day when they keep a book
for too long, so that would be about $2,000 for a book returned 19,345 days late!
However, the school librarian decided that Harry’s case was special and she did not
charge him for the late book.

Five
Man: What’s the problem?
Woman: I’ve got a flat tyre. I drove out of my garage and after about five minutes I felt
that something was wrong. I stopped in a supermarket car park to check the tyre
and then came straight here.
Man: I hope you didn’t damage the wheel. How far did you drive?
Woman: Well, just under a mile. Can you help me?
Man: I’m a bit busy at the moment, so you will have to leave your car here for a day.
One of my workers can take you where you want to go.
Woman: That’ll be great, thanks!

Six
Woman: I’m standing here with the sheriff of Marion City. It’s here that an unusual object
which was stolen last year has just been found. Sheriff, can you tell our listeners
the whole story?
Man: Well, we’ve managed to find a stolen hot air balloon. The owner reported it missing
over a year ago during the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Reno, Nevada. We found it
yesterday at the World Air Games which were organised in our town.
Woman: What did you do after you found it?
Man: We put it on a truck and transported it back to its owner.
