    OLIMPIADA DE LIMBA ENGLEZA – FAZA LOCALA –15.02. 2020 – CLASA A VIII-A

    SUBIECTUL I

    1. Read the following text and choose the correct answer: A, B, C or D.


    (5x5p=25points)

    When 14-year-old Jane White appeared on a popular television talent show earlier this year, she
    amazed both the audience and the judges with her rich, powerful voice. In spite of failing to win,
    she was immediately offered a recording contract worth over two million pounds by a major record
    company. The manager of the company said, `There’s never been anyone of her age who can sing
    with such force. If she is trained properly, she will be successful all over the world and introduce
    classical music to a whole new audience.`

    Her first album has just gone on sale. As well as popular classical favourites, it includes a song by
    a Danish pop group. The original song was about an unhappy marriage. Jane’s rewritten version
    is about having friends, which was considered a more suitable subject for a young singer.
    Jane’s mother is a shop assistant and her father a police officer in the north of England. In order to
    keep up with her schoolwork when she is away recording in London, Jane has private lessons,
    although she attends her school whenerver she is at home. `My school gives me work to do when
    I’m away. Nobody treats me any differently there. And I listen to the same music as everyone else
    at school rather than classical music.`
    `My ambition was to record my own album. I don’t have any more plans for the future yet. The
    only thing I’ve bought so far is a pink mobile phone. I doubt my life is going to change much.`

    Next month, Jane travels to the USA to advertise her album, and this weekend she will sing before
    an international rugby match. Despite what she says, Jane’s life is changing already.

    1. What is the writer’s aim in this text?


    a) to review a new album by a popular artist

    3. Why was the pop song changed for Jane’s album?


    a) The original was in Danish.
    b) It needed to sound more classical.
    c) The topic of the song was too adult.
    d) Jane had problems with the tune.

    5. What might Jane write in her diary?


    a) `It’ll be great to have a restful holiday with my family in the USA next month.`
    b) `I really enjoyed that shopping trip with my girlfriends. I’ll need a new cupboard for all the
    things I bought.`
    c) `I’m looking forward to going to lots of new places and never having to go to school again.`
