Based on 2a, exercise 1, p.29 Listen to the boy from Norway and decide which of the facts are True, False or not Stated Our fantastic journey I would like to tell you about my trip this summer. Two of my best friends and I travelled through Europe by train. Our plan was to visit Germany, Italy, Greece and France. Gro, Borgur and me are from Norway, we live in the city of Bergen and go to the same school. We started our journey two days before Norway was going to play an important football match against Ireland. We went to Germany with the stop in Copenhagen. When we arrived in Copenhagen, we understood that we were in time to see the football match. We found the only place in the nearby streets where they had a television. It was an Irish pub. It was fairly easy to speak to people in Copenhagen. They understood us because Norwegian and their language, Danish, are not very different. When we entered the pub, we saw at once that the majority of people there were Irish football fans. In fact, we were the only boys in the place who shouted for Norway. Norway lost the match, the Irish footballers were much better. We had a quick meal in the pub and went to the railway station to catch the next train to Berlin. My friends and I don't speak German, our foreign language at school is English. Luckily, it turned out that people in Berlin could understand English. Young people and older people helped us to find the places we wanted to visit, and explained everything in English. After a wonderful week in Italy we found a boat to take us to the Greek Island of Corfu. Corfu is very popular with tourists. There were a lot of young people coming from all over the world on the boat. There we met some Norwegian girls. It was great to speak Norwegian again after a week abroad trying to understand fast-speaking Italians. But English helped us in Italy and in Greece too. The time we spent on the island was really fantastic. It was about forty degrees Centigrade but we swam a lot and had fun. Then we went through France and returned to Norway. And nearly everywhere English helped us to speak to people from different countries. It is really a global language. The speaker and his friends live in the same street. The main reason boys chose Irish pub was that they wanted to see football. It was not difficult to speak to people in Copenhagen because they all spoke English. In the pub the majority of people supported Norway team. The Irish fans shouted at the boys because they were angry that Norway won. Norwegian girls they met could speak English too. Greece was one of many countries where boys travelled with ease thanks to their knowledge of English.
