Good morning class. I’d like to tell you about the music classes that the school is offering this summer. If you’re interested in learning to play a musical instrument, you need to book before the 4th July. All the classes will start on the 14th of July and last until the 28th July.
You can choose from several musical instruments such as the drums, the guitar and the violin. Most lessons are on weekdays but the guitar teacher can only teach students on Saturday.
As the courses are all for beginners, you can borrow an instrument from the school. You can collect them from Room 30 on the third floor from the first week of July.
The course isn’t very expensive: each of the ten lessons will cost £7, so £70 in total. However, if you pay for the whole course at once, you get a 10% discount and will only pay 63 pounds.

Carol: How did you like the film?
Richard: Well, I don’t usually enjoy watching films about history, I think they’re boring. But this time I found it quite interesting.
Carol: I agree with you. I suppose it was because the actors were really good. I loved them, especially the girl playing young Queen Elizabeth.
Richard: I’m not so sure… actually, what I liked best was the photography.
Carol: It was a bit long. I wanted to meet my friends after the movie, but it’s already 6 and I have to go home now. I’m going to Cork tomorrow morning.
Richard: But it was only 2 and a half hours long. A film about the life of a queen can’t be shorter than that!
Carol: Maybe you’re right. At least we’ve learnt something useful. We’re studying the life of Queen Elizabeth at school.
Richard: Yes, it will help us with the history test we’ve got next week.
Carol: True. So, what about going to the cinema again next Saturday? There’s a film about Queen Victoria…
Richard: Well, as I told you, I’m not into historical films. Why not watch a horror or a comedy?
Carol: Horror films are too scary! Let’s go see something funny.

16 You will hear boy and a girl talking about fast food. What does he say about it?
A: Shall we go for a hamburger at the new fast-food restaurant, Adam?
B: I’d love to, but I’m going swimming at 4 p.m. and I always have a burger after that. How about that café on the corner? They make delicious salads.
A: I know salads are healthy… but they’re really boring!
B: Yeah, they’re not as good as chips or hotdogs. Let’s go to the Sushi bar. We can have some fish instead.
17 You will hear two friends talking about the new gym. When did it open?
A: Hi Amanda, have you been to the new gym?

B: Sure, call me when you go again and I’ll go with you.

A: Perhaps he thinks you need more practice?
B: But I go to every training session. I’m sure it’s because of my height. I’m not as tall as the other players, you know…
19 You will hear a boy and his mother talking about school. Why is his mother worried?
A: Have you finished doing your French exercises? Remember you got a bad mark last week…
B: No, I’m doing Science homework for tomorrow right now. The French test is on Monday.
A: Oh, but you have no problem learning Science. You need to study the subjects you don’t like and spend less time on the Internet!
B: But I only go online for my homework!
20 You will hear a boy and a girl talking about a campsite. What was good about it?
A: Where did you stay on holiday?
B: At a campsite. It was quite nice but it had a few problems.
A: Oh no. Like what?
B: Well, it was really quiet but that was OK. I don’t like campsites where people talk and play loud music all night. the problem was that the showers in the bathroom were old and broken. Fortunately, we were by the sea so I swam then I needed to wash…
