Unit 10 - The past and the future

Conversation - I’m good at history.

Part A - Listen and practice.

• Look. Here’s a quiz on events of the twentieth century.

• Oh, let me give it a try. I’m good at history.

• All right. First question: When did World War 1 begin?

• I think it began in 1917.

• Huh. And how long has the United Nations been in existence?

• Uh, since Kennedy became president in 1961.

• Hmm. Next question: How long were the Beatles together?

• Well, they started in 1965, and broke up in 1980, so they were together for 15 years. So, how am I doing so far?

• Not very well. Not one of your answers is correct!
