PET L4 - Test 5 - Tapescript

Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation between a girl, Jane, and her brother, Michael, about a Spanish family who are coming to visit them in England. 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.

 

Jane: Michael, you know that Spanish family Mum and Dad met in Spain last year? Michael: Yeah, the Sanchez family.

Jane: That’s right. Anyway, they’re coming to stay next month. They haven’t been to England before, so Mum wants us to help plan a really good week for them. Can we give her some suggestions?

Michael Well, they must spend a day in London seeing the famous places like

Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. Perhaps they could go on one of those open top buses and see everything from there.

Jane: That's a great idea. Do you think the children will like that?

Michael: How old are they?

Jane: One’s 12 and the other’s nine.

Michael: That should be okay then. What about a trip to the car museum at Beaulieu on another day?

Jane: Oh no, I found that car museum so boring. I don’t think any of them would like that.

Michael: Well I think most people find museums boring, but it’s what people do when they visit another country, isn’t it?

Jane: Not necessarily. They might want to do more outdoor activities or perhaps go to some shows or plays or something.

Michael: I know, there’s a big open air pop and jazz festival in Southampton. Do you think they’d like that?

Jane: That sounds better. What about taking the kids windsurfing as well? I think they might enjoy that, don’t you?

Michael: Fine. And what about tennis? Do you think we could still get tickets for the Open Tennis competition in Bournemouth? There are some famous players there this year.

Jane: I’m sure we could, but I wonder if the family like tennis.

Michael: I don’t know ... so let’s just write a list of all the things they could do, then get Mum to phone Mrs Sanchez tonight. The family can talk it over and then phone back if we need to book anything.

Jane: Brilliant! Let’s start the list.
