1   Who is the woman’s teacher?

F:   Oh, look Tom! It’s my English teacher over there. I hope he doesn’t come this way.

M:   Oh, you mean that man with no hair?

F:   No silly! The one standing next to him, the man with a beard.

M:   Oh, the other one not wearing glasses?

F:   Yes, that’s him. I haven’t finished my project yet. I think he’ll be mad if he sees me here.

2   Which pet does the man have?

M:   Oh dear! I forgot to buy food for your fish. I told your mother I would, as I was going to the pet shop for Ricky’s biscuits.

F:   I think John is going back to the store in the afternoon to get a new bed for his cat. Maybe he could help you.

M:   Ok I’ll call him and then I’ll take Ricky for a walk.

3   What is the woman going to order?

M:   I’m so hungry! I’m going for a sausage and some chips! The burger here is great, too!

F:   I’m on a diet! I really shouldn’t be eating fast food but I’m so tired of eating salad.

M:   Oh come on! Have the same as me. It’s delicious.

F:   Well, I guess I’ll have the burger, if you don’t mind.

4   What will the woman buy today?

M:   Can I help you Madam?

F:   Yes. I would like to buy a shirt for my husband.

M:   For work, Madam? Or do you want something for the summer?

F:   Well, something for our summer holidays with stripes would be perfect for now. But I’m definitely coming back for work clothes in the autumn as I see you have wonderful shirts of all sorts.

5   When will they go to the festival?

F:   So when are we going to the festival? Monday could be ok for both of us.

M:   It is but the festival is on until Sunday.

F:   What about Friday? I guess it will be less crowded than Saturday.

M:  I’m not sure as I have to work late.

F:   Don’t worry. I can pick you up any time you finish.

M:   Ok then.

M:   Hi Emir! It’s Samuel here. Remember you asked me to look for a good car for you? Well, I think I have found one. The ad was on the college notice board outside the library and I met the woman selling it at the cafeteria.

The car she’s selling is really cheap. She bought it for £5,600, she was asking for £4,800 but as no one’s been interested in it, (6) she’ll give it to you for £4,200.

The car’s quite new. She’s only had it for almost a year. (7) She bought it on the 13th of August last year and she wants it gone by the 30th of the month.

She says (8) you can call her on 675509872. I think you should call her soon or she’ll sell it to someone else at this price.

If she doesn’t answer, (9) try emailing her at sophieturner@mail.com. That S-O-P-H-I-E-T-U-R-N-E-R.

(10) She’s free to meet in the evenings as she’s usually in class in the mornings. I’m sure you’ll find time that suits you both. Let me know what you think.

F:   I’m so happy I went with you on the camping trip.

M:   We really enjoyed it, didn’t we? (11) I loved swimming in the lake. I didn’t even mind that we didn’t go windsurfing. Maybe next time we can go fishing too.

F:   Yeah, (12) I wasn’t sure I was going to like camping but now I know how exciting it is. It makes me unhappy thinking we didn’t do it sooner.

M:   I knew you’d love it. Wasn’t it fun having barbecues? And the day we bought fish and fried it? Amazing!

F:   (13) But having egg for breakfast every day was a bit boring.

M:   Yeah, we should think of something else next time. (14) And you should remember to pack a jacket and a sweater too. I was afraid you’d catch a cold.

F:   It’s ok. I always take some medicine with us just to be sure.

M:   (15) I know but how would you sing when we were around the fire if you were sick? What a special night, even better than the day we swam in the lake.

F:   I loved the long walks we went on in the countryside.

M:   They were OK.

F:   I can’t wait to do it again!

16   You will hear two friends talking about the weekend. What did the man do on Saturday?

F:   So did you have fun at the weekend?

M:   Well, Saturday was busy. I woke up early because I had to finish that project for work but my daughter wanted me to drive her into town to meet her friends. I thought I had some time to go to the supermarket but then Sarah called me and said we shouldn’t be late for lunch.

17   You will hear a boss talking to an employee about work. Why didn’t the man come to the office yesterday?

M:   Mrs Gibbs, can I talk to you about the meeting?

F:   Of course, Sam. You missed it yesterday. Are you feeling better?

M:   Oh that isn’t the reason I wasn’t here. Wendy called in sick and I had to go to our store in Brighton.

F:   Oh, why didn’t George go?

M:   Actually, he’s in Greece for the summer. Anyway…

18   You will hear a woman talking about sailing. How did she learn to sail?

F:   When I said I wanted to learn how to sail, my friends got really excited and said we’d go on sailing trips together… John told me about a YouTube sailing channel. Anna suggested taking lessons but as they were expensive, I didn’t. I tried and tried and after a couple of months I sailed a boat on my own.

19   You will hear a woman talking about her day at work. What did she like best?

F:   Work was great today! First, we had a meeting where our boss talked to us about the company’s future plans. We are making an advertisement about our new smart phone these days and he’s really happy about it. He asked me to think of a person to star in the ad. How exciting! I’m going to meet a celebrity. That’s why I love this job.

20   You will hear two friends talking about a flight. Why didn’t they rest?

M:   What a flight! I can’t believe we are back from our holiday.

F:   Me too. It felt like a long time till we landed. Those kids didn’t stop laughing out loud.

M:   I’m sure their parents felt really uncomfortable, especially when the girl sat in my seat.

F:   Well, I don’t know about you but I need some sleep.

B:   Hey Sandra, today my friends and I talked about which sports we’d be interested in.

G:   And what do you want to do, Tyler?

B:   You know how much I like horses, so I’d love to learn how to ride.

G:   Great! So what does (21) Daniel want to do?

B:   (21) He loves the sea. His uncle has a boat and he’s asked him to teach him how to sail.

G:   That’s nice. I thought he’d like to surf.

B:   No, he’s scared. And (22) Barbara likes winter sports. She usually skis on the mountains but she’s thinking of trying something a bit different.

G:   Well, (22) Hasan could teach her how to snowboard.

B:   (23) I guess and I could teach him how to ride a bike. That’s what he wants.

G:   Good idea. What about (24) Ingrid? Does she still want to learn how to play tennis?

B:   Sandra, she never wanted to play tennis.

G:   Oh, right. (24) It was table tennis, wasn’t it?

B:   Yes, and she’s going to start practising with (25) Charles.

G:   Oh, and does he want to try anything new?

B:   Well, (25) he’s meeting his friends at the park tonight to skate.

G:   Great!
