I'd recommend politics, but then again with this president not being able to speak English himself that's probably not a good idea.
I know this is gunna be a bit of a "Duh" thing, but you could do some mild history for a listening test. I know you are studying British English, and they have a lot more history than we do here in the US.

I need German lessons. Who here knows German?

I need some basic and general words/sayings for my trip in December.

Sayings associated with meeting relatives I haven't met before. (I know, it's a puzzle!)

You're right. I was also thinking about British history or politics.

Thanks for your comment :-).

We had to do ones on The Legend Of Mt Tongarero and Hatupatu and the Bird Woman (myths/legends), but I think from HistoryGirls comment my suggestion might be a bit far off. Ah well, good luck with the testing anyway

No Problem! It could be something very simple, even a myth or something. The Lengend of King Arthur perhaps (just make sure you've got a modernized English version...the version in the original Anglo-Saxon is a BITCH to read, even for native speakers of English. No sense in making it harder than it's gotta be), or Robin Hood or one of my favorite Chivalric myths from the British Isles, Tristan and Isolde.
If you want some light history, you could always do biographies of some of the major kings and queens...those can be watered down into something very basic. King Richard the Lionhearted, King Henry VIII is always an interesting choice, Queen Elizabeth I or in the more modern times Queen Victoria.
Just depends on what you are into really. Hope this helps!!

If you decide on Elizabeth I or Henry VIII, where is a GREAT website! It could also help you generate some ideas: http://tudorhistory.org/

I can't really find a good place for the story of Tristan and Isolde, but if you've seen the movie that came out last year it's pretty accurate to the legend. It's a very Lacelot/Guenivere/King Arthur thing. Here is a trailer for the movie though: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/tristanandisolde/trailer1_large.html
