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.
How did the woman get to work?
Woman- Oh, I’m so sorry I’m late - I missed the bus. I was trying to decide whether to walk or go back and get my bike when I saw my neighbour. Luckily he offered me a lift, because he works near here.
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. What has the boy lost?
Boy: Mum - I love it here. The city’s really interesting and it’s quite easy to find my way round thanks to the map you gave me - I don’t know what I’d do without it. I ve taken some great photos, but I left my camera on a tram so I won’t be able to show you! And things are more expensive than I expected, so I don’t think my money will last very long. Can you send me some more? Thanks. Speak to you again soon.
Now listen again.
Two. What time does the race begin?
Boy: I’m running the race on Saturday, but I don’t know where it is or when it begins. Man- Well, you’re going to run round the lake. All the runners have to meet in the car park ........... and register by quarter to two, though the race won’t actually start until half past.
There should be about a hundred runners.
Boy: When will it be over? I’ve got to catch a train at quarter past three.
Man: It’s 15 kilometres! You won’t be on time for that!
Now listen again.
Three. Which musical instrument does the boy play now?
Girl: Look at this notice. The school’s starting trumpet lessons next term.
Boy: Oh, the trumpet! That’s an instrument I’d love to play. It’s got a great sound.
Girl: Yes, I might try that, or maybe piano, I don’t know. You learnt piano, didn’t you?
Boy: Yes, I played the piano for years, in fact - until I took up the drums last .ear n. can’t do everything, and I just felt they were more my sort of instrument, really
Now listen again.
Four. What will the weather be like tomorrow afternoon?
Woman: And now for tomorrow’s weather. The day will start showery and windy. Those winds should disappear by late morning, but the wet weather will continue until well into the evening. Although we might see some bright sunny periods between the showers early on, by midday it will be cloudy, with temperatures of no more than ten or twelve degrees centigrade.
Now listen again.
Five. What is the subject of James Wilson’s book?
Man: This latest book by James Wilson is part of a series of practical guides for young people written by experts. The first in the series, Cookery for Beginners, was written by a well-known television cook. It’s very clear and well written, and is a bestseller. Wilson’s book, Computers for Beginners is in the bookshops now and is as: very popular. And there’ll be a book about photography called Photography for Beginners, which will come out next year. It’s written by a newspaper cameraman and will certainly be full of useful information.

Six. Which part of the man’s body hurts him at the moment?
Doctor: It’s been four weeks since your accident, hasn’t it? So tell me how you are feeling. How’s the pain in your legs?
Man: My legs were really hurting me until last week, but that’s worn off now, I’m glad to say. So has the pain in my back. My shoulder’s still fairly sore, though not as bad as it was, fortunately.
Doctor: I’m pleased to hear that. Let’s take a look at you, anyway.
Now listen again.
Seven. Where was the man’s knowledge of Spanish useful?
Woman: How was your trip, Peter?
Man: Great. I was glad I learnt some Spanish before I went.
Woman: Did you manage to order a meal in a restaurant?
Man: Well, I was staying with English friends actually, and I just ate at home with them. I did manage to explain what I wanted when I went shopping though, and I was pleased about that. But I didn’t manage to talk to any of the Spanish people who were invited to my friends’ place – that was really disappointing. I couldn’t understand what they said to me.
