UNIT 7 Recording 1
1
I was at home with my parents and my brother and sister. There was a family
party, but nothing really special. There were fireworks on TV … but I think I
was asleep at midnight. I don’t really remember.
2
We were in Miami, Florida, at a concert. The bands were great – the Gipsy
Kings and some other local bands. It was great.
3
I was at work in Sydney. I work at a club, and of course it was a very big night
for us. The money was good. Everybody was happy, crazy. There were
fantastic fireworks over the Sydney Opera House.
4
I was on a beach in Fiji with my friends. There was a beautiful sunrise. We
were the first people to see the start of the year 2000. And we weren’t alone –
there were hundreds of people on the beach with us. It was a beautiful
morning, very peaceful …
5
I was in hospital. I was born on January 1st, 2000. My mother says there was
a party. Maybe it was for the New Year … or was the party for me?

UNIT 7 Recording 12
W: OK, so which was first?
M: I think the first man on the moon.
W: Yes, I agree. But which date – 1969 or 1975?
M: I think it was 1969.
W: OK, let’s put that. So, what was next?
M: I think Google started.
W: I’m not sure. Maybe the Japanese tsunami?
M: No, Google was before the Japanese tsunami.
W: OK. Um, which date?
M: Erm … 1987, I think.
W: Was there internet in 1987?
M: Sure. Well, I think so. Maybe.

W: OK. 1987.
M: And I think the Japanese tsunami was next, in twenty eleven.
W: Not two thousand and seven?
M: No, twenty eleven. I remember it well because I was in London at that
time.
W: OK, so that’s twenty eleven. And Nelson Mandela?
M: He died in twenty thirteen, I think.
W: Twenty thirteen. Right, let’s check the answers. OK, we were right
about three answers. The first man on the moon was in 1969, the
Japanese tsunami was in twenty eleven and Nelson Mandela died in
twenty thirteen.
M: But we were wrong about Google?
W: Yes. Google didn’t start in 1987. It started in 1996.
