(konferansjeransjer wchodzi:)

I’d like to welcome everybody: the headmasters, the teachers and, of course, the students. On the twenty-sixth of September the whole Europe celebrates the European Day of the Languages [slajd tytułowy 1]. Not many of us could probably answer the question how many languages there are in Europe, or in the world. Well..., our planet has got six billion people speaking between 6 thousand to 7 thousand different languages. English and Chinese are spoken by hundreds of millions of people. In Europe, there are about 255 languages which is only 3% of the world’s total. Languages are related to each other like members of the family. Most of the languages of Europe can be grouped together, because of their origins, as a single, large Indo-European linguistic family. The five languages spoken by most people here in Europe are Russian, German, English, French and Italian. Out of such great numbers We decided to choose just three those you are most familiar with that is: English, German and French - mainly these that are taught in our school apart from Russian which we cannot do due to problems with Russian letters. Anyway, we invited our second classes to participate in a Trivia Euroquiz [slajd 2] to find out how well they know the languages. As you can hear we’ll be using English all the time. Why you ask? Well, on the contrary to French and German, English has become the Latin of the twenty first century, the most popular and widely used, not only in Europe, but all over the world and EVERY, SINGLE one of you in our school learns it and understands it so this way it’ll be the most practical. Now..., before we begin, before the excitement of the game, before the first round about the English language, let’s listen to a song in English entitled ”..........” and performed by <imię> from class <......> [slajd 3]. Please listen and get in the mood for the first round.
