Finding your way in Liverpool (p. 114)

CE : Liverpool capital of culture

- history (iconic buildings, maritime heritage, 2nd city of the British Empire, economic downturn after the first world war, renaissance...)

- famous port / harbour (maritime, majestic river)

- arts & culture (Neptune theatre / Empire Theatre...)

- mordern cosmopolitan city

Liverpool was elected  European capital of culture in 2008 because it's a big city with different qualities. Indeed Liverpool has a long history: it was created in 1208 and expanded to become the 2nd city of the empire. But after world war 1 the economy of the country crashed. Then,the city went through a rennaisance which made it modern day Liverpool. It has a famous habour and a majestic river. In Liverpool there are two theatres, the Neptune theatre and The Empire theatre. The history of Liverpool is very interesting. Furthermore, the city is comsmopolotan and modern.

A testimony : compréhension orale

- who is talking?

Peter is talking.  He left Liverpool in 1986 aged 18. He was glad to leave because there was a lot of unemployment and opportunities were limited. He remembers his grand-parents' house where the toilet was outside  until 1982 when the house was modernized.

What made it possible for him to leave was that he was lucky to gain a place at university.

On his last visit, he took the newspaper and read about 4 shootings in the first 3 pages. It was an example of the violence Liverpool has been notorious for. (an 18 year-old shooting an 11 year-old).

Peter avoids talking about his hometown because it used to have a bad reputation and it was a monotonous city (all the houses were the same).

 Entraînement à la compréhension orale : Top of the Pops, part 1

This recording takes place in the studio of a radio show about music: Music Fans.  The guest is Julie Brown and she has just written a book about the Beatles.  When the interviewer asks her why she is so passionate about them, she says they changed the world of music for generations to come.

About their career, we learn that it started in 1957 when John Lennon formed his own school band.  He invited Paul Mc Cartney to join him in July 57 and Paul added George Harrison (aged only 14) to the band in 1958. This is when they became the Beatles!
