Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation between a boy, Jim, and his mother.

You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for Part 4.

Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice.

Jim: Mum, my old bicycle needs to be repaired again.

Mother: Well then, why don’t you think of buying a new one, Jim?

Jim: You know, I’d really like to buy one of those mountain bikes.

Mother: Well, what’s stopping you?

Jim: Thanks, Mum. I suppose I’ll just have to ride my old bike for a little longer. I must say I had hoped to be able to get a new one straight away. It’s going to take me ages to save up. I wish ...
