PET L4 - Test 14 - Tapescript

Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation between a teenage boy, Alex, and his sister, Rose, about where to go to eat.

Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for YES if it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for NO. 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.

 

Girl: Hi Alex, where’s Mum?

Boy: She’s gone out.

Girl: Has she? Where’s she gone?

Boy: I don’t know actually. She just left a note. I expect she’s gone to Grandad's.

Girl: But Grandad’s gone to his club today. He always goes on Tuesdays.

Boy: Oh yes, you’re right. I don’t know where she is then.

Girl: Oh, never mind. What’s for supper, then?

Boy: Boring soup and boring salad.

Girl: Oh no. I could make something more interesting.

Boy: That’s a good Idea, but you’re an awful cook, Rose. And anyway, there’s nothing else in the fridge.

Girl: Let’s eat out then.

Boy: We can’t. I haven’t got any money.

Girl: Well, I have.

Boy: Great! Let’s go to the Pizza Palace!

Girl: I’m not that rich! Be reasonable, the prices at Pizza Palace are much higher than anywhere else. Why don’t we go to MacGregor’s?

Boy: MacGregor’s! I’d rather have soup and salad at home.

Girl: The food’s not that bad there. But they don’t have any music.

Boy: Well, they do, but it’s really awful.

Girl: They have good music at Classic Express though, don’t they?

Boy: Well, sometimes they have terrible classical stuff, but you can ask them to change the CD for some cool rock music.

Girl: Oh, I’ve never thought of doing that. That’s a good idea

Boy: Shall we go there then? What's the food like? I've been there a few times, but only for a coffee.

Girl: Well, you’d like it. You get really huge plates of food. There would even be enough for you.

I’m surprised you haven’t noticed.

Boy: Well, I haven’t.

Girl: Anyway, I’m hungry now. Are we going or aren’t we?

Boy: Sure. Let's go by bike.

Girl: You’re crazy, Alex, it’s pouring with rain out there!

Boy: OK, how about a taxi?

Girl: Yes, Alex, we could take a taxi, but then I wouldn’t have enough money for the meal. I’m going on foot, and you're coming with me.

Boy: Oh, all right. Sisters!
