hair? He’s talking to the shop assistant.

hair?

2 Listen and complete the notes.
Hello from Radio Art, as always every Monday at
6pm. I’m Lisa Smith and today I’m bringing you a
fantastic idea from the National Gallery in London.
It’s an event called ‘Magic Carpet Storytelling
© Macmillan Publishers Limited 2018
Sundays’. This event is for families with small
children – younger than five years old. It happens
every Sunday (of course) in August and there are
two sessions during the day, one at half past ten
and another one at half past eleven.
But, I can hear you asking, ‘What is it?’ Parents and
children sit on a ‘magic’ carpet in front of a painting
and listen to someone telling a story about the
picture. This person, the ‘storyteller’, works at the
gallery and knows a lot about paintings and art. The
story lasts half an hour and each week, the families
sit in front of a different painting. It’s a fun way to
learn about the picture and the artist.
Visitors don’t pay for this event and they don’t need
to book a place. If you want to sit on the magic
carpet and learn about a painting, make sure you’re
at the gallery half an hour before the start. It can
get quite busy! The National Gallery is in Trafalgar
Square and the storytelling group starts at the
Pigott Education Centre entrance. Enjoy!
Answers: 1 August 2 five/5 3 10.30/half past ten
4 11.30/half past eleven 5 thirty/30 6 half an hour/​
30 minutes
3 Listen and write T (true), F (false)
or DS (doesn’t say).
Boy: What are you looking at, Amy?
Girl: These amazing paintings. Look, it’s the artist’s
website.
Boy: Wow! They’re fantastic! Who does these
paintings?
Girl: An artist called Akiane Kramarik. She lives in
the USA.
Boy: She’s so young!
Girl: I know. It says here that she started drawing
and painting when she was four years old.
She likes using oil paints.
Boy: The portraits look so real!
Girl: Yes. She likes drawing people and especially
their faces. She paints every day for five
hours, but she only does between eight and
twenty paintings a year.
Boy: Really? That’s not a lot. Why?
Girl: Because she spends a lot of time on each
painting – about two hundred hours on each
one.
