TREASURE HUNT – CONCURS JUDEȚEAN DE LIMBA ENGLEZĂ

Ediția a III-a, 28 mai 2016
Proba scrisă - Clasa a VI a
Varianta 1

USE OF ENGLISH (80 POINTS)

SUBJECT 1. Read the text carefully and solve the tasks based on it:

The legendary hero lived in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire. According to legend, Robin was
dressed in green and armed with long bows and his band robbed the rich to help the poor. He
became leader of an outlaw band during the time of Richard the First, who was king between 1189
and 1199.

When Richard was away from England on crusades he left his brother Prince John in charge of the
country. Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham declared Robin Hood an outlaw. Robin’s band
included Little John, Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck. No historian has ever found the document to
prove the existence of Robin Hood beyond doubt because in those times the only way to become
famous was by way of mouth. Some scholars do not even consider Robin Hood a historical figure
but the original ballads of this popular hero contain valuable information about medieval England.

From the 14th century onwards tales and ballads about Robin Hood began to appear. He was
described as a good archer, a brilliant swordsman and a fighter for the cause of the wronged
people. Robin came to represent a universal desire to escape oppression and get ultimate
freedom by living in the forest. The stories about Robin Hood were on the theme of ‘good’ and
‘bad’ and there was even a bit of romantic interest. The legend of this hero has become a popular
subject for many films and TV series. The first film about him was made in 1908. Each production
has introduced a slight change in the subject but the basic story is the same and Robin Hood
remains the same charming character.
