Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation between a girl called Ella, and her father, about the school holidays.
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.
Man: So Ella, the holidays at last! What are you going to do for the next three weeks?
Girl: Nothing, just relax. I’ve been so busy at school recently, what with my exams and everything; I just want to relax for a while.
Man: Well, yes you have done a lot of studying, but surely you want to do something in the holidays ... I don’t know . . . have some friends round perhaps or maybe we could all go camping for a few nights?
Girl: Mmm ... I always have friends round in term time; I’d just like to have some time to myself.
Man: Oh, I see.
Girl: Anyway, to be honest, I need a break from my friends. All they ever do is talk about pop- stars and make-up. None of them seem to be interested in my kind of things.
Man: OK, then. How about you, your brother Alex and me going off to the beach for a couple of days; you know Alex loves camping and I could easily take some time off work . . .
Girl: Dad, it’s spring! The sea will be freezing and there’ll probably be a gale blowing, like last time, when we had to come home early because our tent got flooded! No way! I just want to relax in my warm, cosy bedroom thanks!
Man: Yes, but you need to get out and get some fresh air. I know ... I thought you were going to help Mr Atkins with that new horse he’s bought. What happened to that idea?
Girl: Well, I’d love to do that this holiday, but when I asked him about it he said that he thought I was perhaps too young to look after a horse on my own. “Maybe next year” he said.
Man: Well, I give up! Don’t get to the end of the holiday and complain that you’ve been bored with just sitting around all the time! Nothing I suggest seems any good . . .
