TEEN ZONE B.1.1 FOR THE 11TH GRADE

ENTRY TEST

1. Listen to the conversation and circle the correct answers.

Rita: Ivo, Ron and I would like to do some sightseeing today. Can you recommend where to start?
Ivo: Hmm, let me think. Your flight is at 5 pm, you have to be at the airport at 3:30 so you’ve got less
than four hours to do some sightseeing.
Rita: What can we see in four hours?
Ivo: I think you should try the Sofia Graffiti Tour. It’s a great way to see the city centre and learn
about urban art.
Rita: That sounds pretty cool! Do you know how much it takes?
Ivo: Let me check out their website. Well, the tour takes about 2 hours. You’ll have enough time to
have lunch and then get your bags and go to the airport.
Rita: Great!
Ivo: I’ll give them a call and book a tour for you.
Rita: Thanks, Ivo! How can we get to the centre? Should we take a taxi?
Ivo: No, you’d better take the underground and get off at Serdika Station.

TEST 1
1. Listen to the conversation and underline the correct answers.

Eva: Excuse me, do you speak English?

Pedestrian: Yes, a little. How can I help you? 
Eva: I think I got lost. I’m looking for Mladost 1 metro station. Do you know where it is?
Pedestrian: Sure. It’s less than fifteen minutes from here. Let me show you on your phone.
Eva: Umm, my battery went dead.
Pedestrian: How annoying! Have you got a map of the city?
Eva: Unfortunately not. I left it in my hotel room.
Pedestrian: It’s OK, I’ll show you on my phone.
Eva: Fantastic! You’re so kind! 
Pedestrian: So, we’re here. You see, this is Alexander Malinov station. Just walk for about 250
metres along this street until you come to the next crossroads. Then turn left and go straight on for
about a kilometre. You’ll see the metro station on your right.
Eva: Thank you so much. Have a lovely day!
Pedestrian: You’re welcome! By the way, can you see the petrol station over there? You can charge
your phone before you take the underground.
Eva: Great! Thanks a million!

TEST 2
1. Listen to part of an interview with tiny house owners and circle the correct answers.
Interviewer: Hi, Brian and Sally! Thank you for inviting me to your tiny home. Are there any
standard parameters a home has to fit into to be called a ‘tiny touse’?

Sally: You’re welcome. Well, a tiny house is generally any house under 46 square metres. It’s usually
made out of wood and it can be built on a solid foundation or on a trailer to be mobile and moved
whenever needed. The majority of tiny houses are under 28 square metres and are built on trailers. Our
house is only 25 square metres but includes a spacious bathroom, kitchen, staircase and lofted
bedroom. 

Interviewer: Why did you choose to move to a tiny house?

Sally: We wanted to truly simplify our lives instead of being distracted by more material items and a
house bigger than what we needed.

Interviewer: How long did it take to finish your tiny house?

Sally: Well, planning took us five months and the majority of the building was done in two weeks,
plus five weeks of finishing work.

Interviewer: What do you love most about your new home?

Sally: How little time it takes to clean it and keep it organised. Also how cozy it feels, it makes us feel
like we’re in a grown-up fort. We love our handmade ladder and natural light. Plus we own the place
and can take it with us unlike our previous rental home. It’s also a tiny fraction of the price of a regular
home!

TEST 3
1. Listen to the interview and circle the correct answers.

Host: Hello and welcome to Teen Health, the programme that examines healthy lifestyle for teens.
I’m your host Sally Stuart and today we’re going to look at the problems teenagers have with getting
themselves motivated to go to the gym. Our guest this morning is Ben Johnson, an experienced fitness
instructor.
Ben Johnson: Thank you, Sally! Good morning to our listeners.
Host: Ben, we all know that being active has a lot of benefits – it improves everything from heart
health to sleep quality. But knowing it’s good for you doesn’t always mean it’s easy to go to the gym.
Ben Johnson: Yes, Sally. Most of my clients find it extremely difficult to motivate themselves to get
into a workout routine.
Host: How can you motivate yourself to start exercising then? Can you share with us a few proven
methods?
Ben Johnson: Yes, sure. The first thing you should do is make a plan and set your goals. Decide what
you want to achieve – lose weight, add muscle or keep fit. Then focus your energy on working
towards it.
Host: That’s easier said than done.
Ben Johnson (laughing): Well, that’s why you need to make sure your goals are achievable. If you
think that you’ll be able to run a three-hour marathon after only a month of exercising, you’ll be very
disappointed.
Host: I know what you’re talking about! Last summer, I wanted to quickly get into shape but instead I
ended up exhausted because of overtraining.
Ben Johnson (laughing): Well, unfortunately this happens when you set unrealistic goals. That’s why
I suggest you consult a certified trainer. They can design an individualised exercise plan, show you
how to use equipment and provide tips on healthy eating.
Host: Thank you, Ben for sharing with us.
