Listening Comprehension Test

The Welsh in Patagonia

In 18650 a ship called the Mimosa sailed from Wales in the west of Britain to Patagonia in the south of Argentina, with 153 Welsh men, women and children on board. They wanted to find somewhere far from Britain where they would be free to express their language and culture, which were beginning to disappear. They called the place where they landed “Port Madryn”.
In the years that followed, about 3000 other Welsh people joined them. They were given land by the Argentinian government and they were taught to hunt by the native people who were friendly and helpful to them. The Welsh were called “the bread and butter people” because they exchanged simple food for furs and skins.
The lives of the immigrants centered on the home, the school and the chapel. They were very practical people. A new currency and legal system were introduced. The land was farmed and sheep were kept on high land. Welsh was spoken everywhere. Welsh –language primary schools were set up.
In 1878 Spanish was introduced into schools, and by the turn of the century, Spanish had become the language of the classroom. As the years passed, the Welsh language fell into decline and was heard only among the old generation. They knew that if the language wasn’t used by young people, nobody would understand it in a few years’ time.
In 1990 Gwilym Roberts, a teacher from Cardiff in Wales, was watching a television programme about Patagonia. He discovered that the Welsh – Argentine Society was looking for people to teach Welsh in Patagonia and volunteered to go.
“Patagonia is the only place in the world where the Welsh language has survived for so long away from Wales”, said Mr. Roberts and went there.
Now in Patagonia, Welsh folk music and dancing are becoming popular.
July 28th, the date when the Welsh first arrived in Patagonia, is a holiday. It is celebrated with tea and cakes – and, of course, bread and butter.

I. Mark the statements as true or false

1. A ship called the Mimosa sailed to Patagonia in the south of Argentina.
2. The Welsh weren’t given land by the Argentinian government.
3. Spanish had become the language of the classroom in 1878.
4. Patagonia isn’t the only place in the world where the Welsh language has survived.

II. Complete the sentences according to the text.
1. They wanted to find somewhere _______________________where they would be free to express their language and culture.
2. ___________________ primary schools were set up.
3. They knew that if the language_________________, nobody would understand it in a few years’ time.
4. Now in Patagonia, ________________________are becoming popular.

III. Answer the questions.

1. How did the natives help the early settlers?
2. Why were the settlers called “the dread and butter people”?
3. Why did Gwilym Roberts go to Patagonia?
4. What might you eat and drink if you were in Patagonia on July 28th?
