1   Where will Murat meet his friends?

F:   So Murat, have you decided what to do on your birthday? Are we meeting at the café?

M:   Well, perhaps we could do something outdoors. How about the local pool?

F:   The weather won’t be good on Sunday. Maybe we should stay in.

M:   Ok, I’ll make sure I have enough snacks and drinks and I’ll invite everyone for a games night at my house. I’ll ask John from the café for some help, too.

2   What film will they see?

F:   How about going to see a film?

M:   Great idea! There’s that new movie about a train journey through Siberia.

F:   I was thinking of a nice love story.

M:   We saw one last week! We could see that film about the family that lives alone in Alaska.

F:   Ok, yes, that’s a better idea than your first one. Anyway, next time I choose!

3   What did the woman buy?

G:   I am so tired! I’ve spent all day trying to buy a present for mum!

B:   Did you get something in the end? I usually buy her a scarf.

G:   She’s got loads of those! I wanted to buy her sunglasses but they were all too expensive … and then I saw these gloves.

B:   Hey! Those are nice! They will keep her really warm. She’s got a pair of sunglasses anyway!

4   What’s for dinner?

M:   Mmm… Something smells good!

F:   Yes. I thought I’d do something different from the usual chicken dish I make for dinner.

M:   Please tell me you’re not making soup, are you? It’s too hot for soup!

F:   I was thinking a nice Italian pasta dish. How does that sound? Or would you rather I roasted some chicken?

M:   No, pasta will be perfect, dear.

5   What needs fixing in the kitchen?

F:   Can you phone the Home Fix Company for me?

M:   Sure. What’s the problem? Not that sink again?

F:   Not this time. I need to make a birthday cake tomorrow and I can’t turn on the oven.

M:   Okay! Don’t worry. The number is on the fridge, isn’t it? I’ll phone now. Maybe they’ll give us a discount this time. It’s only a week since they came in for the sink.

M:   Good morning! I’m looking for some new clothes.

F:   Certainly. Let me show you some jeans. They never go out of fashion. This is our most popular design.

M:   Oh, thanks. (11) I know most people love jeans but I’d like something more comfortable, like this pair of trousers, maybe?

F:   Of course. We have them in black and blue. Which one would you rather try on?

M:   I’m afraid neither. (12) I find brown matches my shirts better.

F:   I see. (13) We’ve got these shorts in that colour. But I’m not sure you could wear them with a shirt.

M:   That’s true but since they’re my size I’d like to try them on, please.

F:   Of course. You should also know that they’re on sale. They were 65 pounds but are now down to 45. (14) Oh sorry, 55 that is.

M:   I don’t carry that much with me but I guess I could come back on Saturday.

F:   Unfortunately we’ll be closed then. So either later today or on Monday.

M:   Well, I have to go to work in the afternoon and on Fridays we always work late, (15) so it’ll have to be after the weekend.

16   You will hear two colleagues talking together. How did the woman come to work today?

M:   You’re in early. Did you drive here today?

F:   Actually there were no problems on the underground!

M:   That doesn’t happen often.

F:   I know. That’s why at first I was thinking about driving as usual.

M:   Well, I walked here today. The streets were so busy I would never be here on time if I took the car.

F:   Lucky you! You live so close to the office…

17   You will hear a woman talking to a man who works at a restaurant. What is the woman looking for?

F:   Hi. My family and I had lunch there an hour ago. We were sitting by the window. I think I’ve dropped my wedding ring as I was taking off my gloves. Could you have a look? Oh, no need to… Sorry… I had taken it off and put it in my handbag while I was in the bathroom…

M:   That’s ok Madam. Have a good day.

18   You will hear a woman talking about cooking. How did she become better at it?

F:   While I was studying away from home, I needed to learn how to cook. My mum always said that if I needed help, she’d be there for me but her advice never seemed to work for me. I had heard of a popular chef with his own YouTube channel but what I realised after watching a few videos was that I had to do it on my own. And that’s when I started to improve.

19   You will hear a man talking about his hobbies. Which hobby has he stopped doing?

M:   I’m so excited. Sandra has finally agreed to go to the farm with me on Sundays. It’s so much fun growing and picking fruit and vegetables. She never used to come with me when I brushed and rode the horses so I got tired of being on my own. She only likes going to the stadium sometimes to watch our favourite team play.

20   You will hear a man talking about a department store. What’s new at the department store?

M:   Good morning everyone. The sales are on at our clothes department. Get your new swimming costume at 50% off. Now, at the food and drinks department a juice bar has just opened. Taste their delicious drinks today. Finally, for those who want to buy a new bicycle or repair their old one, visit Tom’s Bikes on the second floor.

G:   Hey Luis! How about doing something this afternoon? Would you like to play tennis at the local court?

B:   I’d love to but it’s going to rain.

G:   Well, let’s do something indoors. (21) The pool is open at weekends.

B:   (21) No way! Last time I went there the water was green! I’m sure they haven’t cleaned it yet!

G:   There’s always (22) the cafe in Elm Square. Let’s go for a coffee.

B:   That’s not a good idea on a Saturday! (22) It’s full of people! It will take ages to get a seat!

G:   Hey! (23) I heard there’s a good film at the cinema.

B:   Sorry, I can’t do that this week. (23) It’s £8 a ticket and I’ve got no money left.

G:   OK. Well, that leaves (24) the park, but I’m not sure it’s warm enough to spend so much time outside.

B:   (24) We’d catch a cold. (25) Why don’t we stay in? I’ll make us some coffee and we can listen to music!

G:   (25) Well, that’s not exciting at all, is it?
