There are seven questions in this part. For each question there are three pictures and a short recording. Choose the correct picture and put a tick in the box below it.
Before we start, here is an example.
Where is the girl’s hat?
Mum: Where’s your new hat, Sally? I hope you haven’t left it on the school bus.
Sally: Don’t worry, Mum. I put it in my school bag because I was too hot.
Mum: Are you sure? I can’t see it there. You probably dropped it in the road somev.TBS Sally: Oh, here it is - hanging in the hall. I forgot to take it this morning.
The first picture is correct so there is a tick in box A.
Look at the three pictures for question 1 now.
Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear each recording twice.
One. How will they book their flights?
Man: So what about our flights then, shall I book on the internet? Or do you want to go to a travel agent’s?
Woman: Well, actually, I’ve already been to the travel agent’s and got some prices . . They can offer us a better price than anything I’ve seen on the internet.
Man: Great. . . well let’s make a decision and then go ahead and book. We could phone them, couldn’t we? Or is it better to pop in?
Woman: I’d prefer not to phone because I want to pay in cash.
Man: Okay.
Now listen again.
Two. What has the daughter forgotten to bring on holiday?
Girl: Mmm . . . nice bathroom in this hotel! Can I borrow your shampoo, Mum? I left mine at home.
Mum: Okay, but put it back in my bag when you’ve finished.
Girl: And I don’t believe it! I must have forgotten to bring my hairbrush, too. I can’t find anywhere in my suitcase. I was sure I’d put it in!
Mum: You had! I’ve already put it in the bathroom with your other washing things. I don’t know why you brought toothpaste though. We certainly didn’t need two tubes!
We’re only here for four days.
Now listen again.
Three. What will the man and woman do on Sunday?
Woman: Oh, I’m so tired! Shall we just stay at home this weekend? Maybe watch some DVDs and read the newspapers?
Man: Mmm . . . how about going to the beach tomorrow with a picnic as it’s so hot. . .although we really ought to clean the flat. Oh, I nearly forgot! Isn’t your sister coming to see us on Sunday?
Woman: Yes, you’re right... she is! She’ll enjoy a good day at the seaside, won’t she? We’ll relax at home another time . . . and then do the housework, too!
Man: Sounds great!
Now listen again.
Four. Which blouse does the girl decide to buy?
Girl: Tom, I need your opinion about this blouse. I like the collar, but the sleeves are rather long.
Tom: Um ... I’m not sure. Look at some more before you decide. What about this one? Short sleeves, no collar.
Girl: It’s a bit ordinary. I do agree, though, it’s elegant. Ah, here’s one with a collar and without sleeves, but it isn’t quite so nice as the other one. Hmm ... no, I like the first one I saw, I can always make the sleeves shorter.
Tom: Okay. I think it’s a good choice.
Now listen again.
Five. When is the girl having a party?
Amanda: Hello, this is Amanda. About my birthday party. I told you it was on the fifteenth, but I’ve got to change it to the thirteenth. That’s a Thursday, which I know isn’t perfect. But no-one can come on Friday the fourteenth because it’s the school disco. Sorry about the change, but Mum and Dad have got something planned for me on the fifteenth. Anyway, the party’s at my house, and it’s starting about eight o’clock. Call me back and let me know if you can come.
Now listen again.
Six. Where is the motorcycle race going to finish?
Man: This year’s motorcycle race will finish in the city centre. Hundreds of people are expected to be in the square in front of the town hall to watch the finish of the race on Saturday afternoon. For those who’d like to see the bikes in action, seating will be provided in the square outside the stadium. Race organisers recommend t"-=- from Castle Square, with its position on top of the hill, there’ll be a good view of the bikes making their way through the city.
Now listen again.
Seven. What will the woman repair next?
Boy: I really want to go out on my bike, but it’s got a flat tyre. Can you fix it?
Woman: I’m really busy at the moment. Oh, and we don’t have anything to repair it with. Can’t you do something else? Why don’t you play football instead?
Boy: But the football’s flat as well.
Woman: Oh. But it just needs more air. That shouldn’t take too long. I’ve just finished putting some new glass in the window so I’ll have a coffee and then I’ll do it.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part 1.
