Listening Practice

Good evening, and welcome to the 10 o’clock news. Tonight’s main news:

An elephant has escaped from the local zoo. Eyewitnesses say that the animal wandered out of its cage during feeding time this evening. It remained unnoticed for twenty minutes, by which time it had left the zoo grounds and caused havoc in the local streets. Animal welfare officers are now trying to coax the elephant back. Until then residents are being warned not to approach it.

The vegetarian farmer’s group is holding an awarness day this Saturday at Hill Farm. All produce is fresh and organically produced. Families are welcome and there will be face painting and outdoor games for the children. Tickets can be purchased in advance from the organisers.

A local pub has defied all public expectations by becoming the first successful alcohol-free pub in the country. Sales have rocketed since the quiet country pub stopped serving alcohol, and owners say families love the atmosphere there now.

Local charity shops are appealing for people to bring unused pairs of glasses to their shops this week. The request is part of a nationwide appeal to offer people in other countries the chance to use the glasses. A previous appeal, made five years ago, was extremely successful, and it is hoped that this year’s will be even more so, particularly due to the increase in contact lens use.

As from tomorrow, mountain bikes will be banned in the city centre. Police say there have been too many accidents on the ring road this year. It is hoped that they will make cycle paths in the near future.

And now for the weather: Today will be bright for the most part, with top temperatures reaching 25 degrees Celsius. Tonight will be warm too, so perfect weather for barbecues! Overnight the pressure of these temperatures may result in a few storms in the South.

That’s all from the 10 o’clock news team. Thank you for watching.

NY transcription (to answer the questions)

Broadway

Broadway is one of the longest roads in Manhattan and it runs in a slanted direction north to south. At one point, it crosses Seventh Avenue which also runs in a north to south direction. The reason why it runs in this slanted   direction is because it was one of the original roads travelled by the early Native American Indians and still exists to this day.

Broadway and 42nd Street is called Time Square. The name originated from the fact that a famous New York Times newspaper building was once located here. This is the spot where the pulse of the city can be found.

Chrysler Building

The Chrysler building was built on a theory: that it would be the tallest building of its time, even though it was temporary. It was the first building to use metal plates for the exterior walls. They used the same metal the Chrysler used to build cars. Many New Yorkers have a strong attachment to this artistic New York landmark.

Central Park

In the middle of the hustle and bustle of Manhattan lies the vast open space of Central Park. It is 848 acres of parkland with the sights of peaceful horse-drawn carriages and the sounds of birds chirping. It takes you to another world inside the busy city.

Natural History Museum

The American Museum of Natural History is one of the world famous tourist attractions of NYC. There are four floors of exhibits in this large building. It shows all aspects of life from the beginning of time to the present.

Lincoln Center

Operas and concerts are performed live on stage at the Lincoln Center by artists from around the world.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a universal museum located in NYC. It has works in every category of art, in every known medium, from every part of the world during every epic of recorded of time.

Fifth Avenue is a street that is world renowned for the large number of expensive brand-name shops. With the beautiful display windows, the famous shops are lined up alongside each other one after the other.

The Rockefeller Center

R. C. is a complex that is essentially a combination of 19 commercial buildings. The famous John D. Rockefeller Jr. developed it between 1929 and 1940.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral

The St. P. C. is the seat of the archbishop of New York. It is the largest decorated Gothic style Catholic cathedral in the US and it has been recognized throughout its history as a center of Catholic life in this country

The Empire State Building

New York City’s landmark and the natural historical landmark, the world-famous Empire State Building has 86 floors and is 1050 feet high. This building at one time the highest building made was built in 1932 and over 3.5 million people visit the structure each year.

Madison Square Garden

Madison Square Garden located in the heart of Manhattan is the venue for shows, sports events, awards ceremonies and other major events year round.

Battery Park

During the war of 1812 a castle was built where the present day Battery Park exists. The castle was named Castle Clinton after the major of New York at that period...?

George Washington was the first president of the US and often visited small pubs during his time as general of the colonial army.

Financial District

The word wall in Wall Street came from the wooden palisade that was erected by the Dutch bank in 1653 to keep erratic Indians out.

Financial district

The busy street that began to grow on the town side of the wall became known as Wall Street.

Ground Zero

Nobody will ever forget the death and destruction of the World Trade Center buildings on the fateful day of September 11th, 2001.

All people around the world felt the pain of New Yorkers on that day.

South Street Seaport

The Brooklyn Bridge which joins Manhattan and Brooklyn was officially completed in 1883. At that time it was the longest bridge made for a toll cost of a penny. People were allowed to cross the bridge. This included along with people, trolleys, horse-drawn vehicles and even livestock that crossed the bridge.

Ellis Island

From 1892 to 1954 over 12 million immigrants passed through the several immigration stations at Ellis Island, a small island in the New York harbor.

Canal Street

During the early 1800s because of a drainage problem a 40 foot wide drainage ditch was built in an area which we call today Canal Street.

China Town NYC

The largest Chinatown in the US is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Manhattan.

Founded in the late 18th century

Little Italy

Just north of Canal Street there is a district called Little Italy. You are tempted by the sights, sounds, smells and the culture of old Italy.

The most exciting location in Manhattan during the evening hours is on Broadway by Time Square. It is a vibrant area with playhouses, restaurants and shops. It is the city of lights.

Cooking in the danger zone

A man, the host of a TV show which shows how the food is in different countries. In this chapter, he travels to Chernobyl, Ukraine where the nuclear accident happened almost 30 years ago. No, the radiation level is very high, and there’s an area where people shouldn´t enter. And, of course, it’s forbidden to eat aliments produced in the exclusion area.

But the man talks with some people that avoid the food that produce themselves in the restricted area. But they don’t care about it, they say are healthy although the food mustn’t be eaten.

The host also talks with some experts, which show him that the radiation is extremely high and that it’s very dangerous. And there also people that think that is not dangerous to live there, but they don’t eat aliments produced in the restricted area because of the radiation.

I think this is an interesting and shocking video that shows what can happen if we don’t take care about how we use our knowledge and the energy. It’s hard to see all these destroyed buildings and the places where the life doesn’t exist now.

Dubai

Food art

I like food art, I thimk that the food shouldn't be only tasty but it must be also beutiful, because it is nice to see it will be easiier to eat it. It's important how it looks, but it still being more important its taste.
I would never take a picture to the food on the restaurant only bacuase it's good looking, but i wouldn't mind if I was the owner, i would make my bussines better known. But it's true that it could break the surprise for the new guests.
I´ve never been in in this kind of restaurant and i've never cooked this kind of food, in fact because I don't know how to cook. But I would like.
