Kevin continues sleeping. The people on the train continue reading. Another common expression which means almost the same as carry on is go on. The alarm clock goes on ringing. The man with the mobile phone goes on talking. When I was 1) thinking about what to say in this podcast, I 2) did a Google search for carry on and found an interesting story. In 3) 1939, at the outbreak of the Second World War, the British government 4) printed millions of posters to send simple propaganda messages to the people. The posters 5) appeared on billboards and in shop windows and railway stations and places like that. They tried to 6) encourage and cheer people in the face of bombing raids, food rationing and other hardships. However, one of the posters was never used. It was the poster which would tell people what to do if the Germany army actually invaded Britain. At the end of the war, the government 7) destroyed all the copies. Well, not quite all, because in the year 2000 a second-hand book seller found a copy in a box of old books which he had 8) bought. The poster said simply, Keep calm and carry on. In other words, do not panic, carry on as normal go to work, look after your families, and so on. This was the very British message that our government wanted to send to the people if our country was invaded. Since it was rediscovered, the poster has 9) become very popular. You can buy copies on line, and mugs and t-shirts with the slogan Keep calm and carry on. Perhaps people feel that this simple slogan means as much today as it did 70 years ago.

My sister and I went to see a film last night. It (21. be) an American movie called The Lost Fight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which (22. crash) on a small empty island in the Pacific Ocean. Although, the entire passengers were safe, nobody (23. know) where the plane crashed. So, the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle. They also (24. learn) how to catch the fish from to sea

the passengers were eating raw fish and meat. After they had been on the island for two months, three of them made a boat to sail away.
