LISTENING COMPREHENSION

I assessed your listening skills  through  a short  animated

film introducing the 2014 Commonwealth Games entitled:

                             

Introducing Clyde the Mascot : Glasgow 2014 XX Commonwealth Games

                

's story is inspired by the past -- a real ship called the

SS Cameronia built on the Clyde in 1920

  - but set in the present day.

is a cheeky wee thistle who has been nurtured by

seafaring Scot, Captain Bristle.

        

Captain Bristle was to set sail around the

Commonwealth, and to remember the Dear Green Place

he took a pot of thistles  on his travels.

 As he travelled to each of the 71 nations and territories of the

Commonwealth,  he went for a wee walk to plant a thistle,

leaving a small piece of Scotland in each place.

When he returned back to Glasgow he had one thistle left in his

Captain's trunk which he planted, pride of place, in his front garden.

That little thistlegrew taller and stronger, day by day, until one night

he saw a shooting star and realised he had a huge destiny --

to tell the world about the Commonwealth Games and welcome to

Glasgow the friends from all the far flung destinations he had travelled to.

                       

  's story is narrated by Billy Connolly - the world famous actor

and comedian. Music by Paolo Nutini.
