Audioscript
Woman: Now, I want to tell you about a new school music club. It’ll begin on the fifteenth of
September and there will be classes once a week until December the eighteenth.
Let me check the day … Because there’s the sports club on Wednesdays, the music club will be on
Thursdays.
It’ll be after school. Your last lessons finish at ten to four and you can have a break before the
music club because it starts at twenty past four and ends at five o’clock.
Here’s some information about the teacher. His name’s Mr Taylor. I’ll spell that for you T-A-Y-L-O-
R. You don’t know him because he’s new.
If your parents would like to phone him, he’s happy for me to give you his phone number. It’s zero-
double seven-nine, three-eight-six, five-two-one.
Oh, you need to know where to go for the club. It’s going to be in the library. Use the doors next to
the art room because the other doors won’t be open then.

8 Sohatu 9 37 / thirty-seven 10 poster
Audioscript
Woman: Hi. Today you’re going to do your project. It’s called Helping because it’s about what
people do to look after animals.
First, you’re going to do a drawing. It’s difficult to draw a monkey because they move so much, so
you’re going to draw a tiger.
Water is very important for our animals, and at ten forty-five you’re going to go with our staff to
give some animals their water. Then, at eleven thirty, you’ll see our youngest animal. He’s really
beautiful; he’s a baby lion. He’s called Sohatu. I’ll spell that for you, so you can find out more about
him on our website. It’s S-O-H-A-T-U.
After that, you’ll see the dolphins. Some dolphins can live to be sixty years old, but our oldest
dolphin is thirty-seven. He’s about one hundred kilos and two metres long.
At the end of the day, we’ll give you a present -a poster. You can also go to the shop and buy
perhaps a T-shirt or a toy.

Emin: Hi. I’m phoning about the football match that we’re going to. It’s on Saturday. But it isn’t in
the City Stadium like the last football match we went to. This one’s in the Bridge Stadium. That’s B-
R-I-D-G-E. You know, near the river!
Can you come to my house at half past two? Then we can go to the match together by bus. Bus
number two-seven-four only goes every thirty minutes, so it’s better for us to get the three-nine-
five, which is every ten minutes.
The tickets are usually ten pounds, but because my dad’s a member of the football club, we only
pay four fifty each. That’s not bad, is it?

It’s going to be a bit cold, so don’t wear just a jacket – you’ll need a coat. I’m going to wear my red
one because that’s our team’s colour!
Oh, and another thing, bring a snack because the cafés are expensive. You can get water there for
free, so don’t bring water.
I think that’s everything. Bye!

Audioscript
Woman: Rosie, I’ve found some information about that dance competition that you’re interested
in. It’s perfect for you because it’s for children who are between thirteen and fifteen.
The competition’s on the fourth of August, but you’ve got to enter by the twelfth of July. So you’ve
still got over four weeks.
You don’t have to send any money to enter, just a video. I know you’ve already got some, but it
might be a good idea to make a new one.
Anyway, everything you need to know is on the website. Write down the address. It’s www dot
jittersea dot com. That’s spelt J-I-double T-E-R-S-E-A.
I also found out where they’re having the competition. It’s going to be at the college; the one
opposite the park. That’s easy for you to get to.
And the best news is about the prizes. The winner gets a hundred and seventy-five pounds, and
the person who comes second gets one hundred pounds! That’s a lot!

Fabio: Hi, it’s Fabio. Sorry you weren’t at school today. I hope you’re feeling better. I want to tell
you about our homework for English.
It’s much easier than our last homework when we had to write an advertisement. This time it’s a
story. We’ve got to write about a journey. Of course, it doesn’t have to be real. I’ve already started
mine and I’ve written one hundred words, but actually we’ve got to write two hundred and fifty,
so I have to write some more.
We have to include a photo, but we don’t have to draw a map or anything like that. If you need
some ideas, look at this website: www dot collatra dot com. That’s C-O-double L-A-T-R-A. OK?
One last thing, the date we’ve got to give it to the teacher. Let me look, I wrote it down. Yeah, the
twenty-second of May. That’s good because it’s before my birthday on the twenty-fifth, so I’ll have
no homework on my birthday!

Audioscript
Woman: Please listen because I want to tell you about the next class trip. We’re going to a castle.
You read about this one in Tedbury last week in your history lesson. Tell your parents they need to
pay for the trip this week. It’s five pounds sixty. That’s three pounds for the ticket and the rest is
for transport.
This trip’s on a Saturday. We don’t want you to miss a school day, like a Friday.
We’re going by bus. Please get to school by eight fifty at the latest because the bus will go at ten
past nine exactly.
You don’t need to bring paper or a pen, but you’ll need a camera. If you haven’t got one, you can
share with a friend.
While we’re there, we’re going to see a special exhibition. The one about cars has just finished and
now there’s one about clothes that’s called Modana. That’s M-O-D-A-N-A. It’s very interesting to
see what people wore hundreds of years ago.

Audioscript
Woman: Welcome to the library. You will all come here a lot, so there’s some important
information that you need to know.
First of all, the hours the library is open. During term time, the library is open 24 hours a day. But
outside term time, it’s open from half past eight in the morning until seven o’clock in the evening.
Of course, you will want to take things out of the library. You can borrow different things, like
magazines, CDs, books. You can take up to ten different things out of the library, but only six books
at one time. But please be careful! If you return things late, you will have to pay a fine! The cost is
two pounds a day for each book and one pound a day for other things. Library cards are free, but
you need to fill in a form and give it in with a photo. If you lose your card, you can get a new one,
but it will cost five pounds.

Audioscript
Jessica: My name’s Jessica Chapman and I’d like to tell you about a job I did a few months ago. I
worked as an online language teacher. I helped schoolchildren in China to learn English. I talked to
them online using special software for two hours every Monday and Wednesday. My students
were all young, eight to ten years old and about the same level. The groups I taught were small:
three to six students in each lesson.
I had an interactive whiteboard on my screen that I could write and draw on. The students could
see it on their screens, too. We played games, sang songs and had conversations.
I saw an advert for the job in January, and I applied immediately. A month later I got a reply, and I
started working in July. I want to be a teacher in the future and this job gave me lots of experience.
I really loved it, and I was sad when the job came to an end in September.

Audioscript
Woman: Now I’m going to give you some information about university flats. The first type is the
cheapest. There are ten students in each flat. A room costs £95 per week. Each term is a different
number of weeks. The first term is longer than the others. It’s 13 weeks, so it’s more expensive:
one thousand two hundred and thirty-five pounds.
The second term costs nine hundred and fifty pounds, and the final term costs one thousand and
forty-five pounds. The second type of flat is £110 a week and you share with three other students.
In the first term, flats are available from the fifteenth of September until the twentieth of
December. You can’t stay in the flats during the university holidays, but you can move back in on
the fourth of January for the second term.
We have quiet time at night in student flats from Monday to Thursday between ten o’clock at
night and half past six in the morning so students can study and sleep.

6 February 7 40,000 8 Park 9 died 10 1931
Audioscript
Man: Thomas Alva Edison was a famous American inventor. He was born on 11th February, 1847,
the seventh child of Samuel and Nancy Edison.
Thomas wasn’t a good student and he left school after only a few months. But he was interested in
science and technology from an early age, and he spent hours reading scientific books and making
things.
He moved to New York City in 1869, and he soon made a lot of money from his inventions –
$40,000.
In 1871, he married Mary Stilwell, and in 1876, he opened a laboratory in a village called Menlo
Park. A lot of people worked for him and helped him with his inventions. His first great invention
there was the phonograph, a machine that could record and play sound. He also invented an
electric light bulb that people could use at home. His inventions made him very rich.
His wife died in 1884, but he married again in 1886. He and his second wife moved to West
Orange, in New Jersey. There, Edison built another big laboratory and factories. He worked there
until he died on the 18 October 1931.

Audioscript
Woman: Thanks for coming today and showing interest in the skiing trip. Now, I’m going to give
you some details. This year we’re going to Italy.
The trip starts on the second of January and lasts for ten days, so we’ll be away until the twelfth of
January. I’m pleased to say that this year trip will be a bit less expensive than last year, when it was
£775. The price has come down £45 to £730, and that’s because the hotel is cheaper.
That price includes breakfast, the evening meal, the cost of renting skis and ski clothes, and the ski
lifts. But you’ll need to pay for your own lunch. That’s not included, and drinks aren’t, either.
There are lessons every morning. The cost is included in the price of the holiday. If you’re a
beginner, I strongly advise you to take these lessons so that you learn good skiing techniques.
Right, are there any questions?

Audioscript
Woman: Welcome aboard! Before we begin our tour, let me tell you a few things about this
beautiful city. Venice is built on a number of islands in the Adriatic Sea. No one knows the exact
number, but we think there are 118. Between the islands there are 150 canals.
Today we are going to travel along the Grand Canal, the city’s busiest canal. It’s also the longest:
almost four kilometres long! You won’t see any cars, of course, but there will be lots of different
boats. We will pass under four bridges, but there are many more in the city. Venice has 391
bridges, and most of them are very beautiful. You should try and see some of them while you are
here.
Our boat trip today will take about thirty minutes. We will go past many of the city’s famous
churches, museums and palaces. We will even go past the fish market!
Now, please be seated and we will begin our tour …

6 first 7 80 8 64 9 24 10 notebook
Audioscript
Woman: Welcome to the University Language Centre. I’d like to give you some basic information
about our evening language classes.
We offer evening classes in English, Italian, French, Russian and Spanish. Classes are in the
afternoons or evenings, and they start in the first week of October. Courses are six weeks long, so
they end in the middle of November. The English courses are free, but the other language courses
cost £80. If you want to learn more than one language, you get a 20% discount, so your second
course will cost you just £64.
There are courses for beginners as well as for more advanced students. Most courses have lessons
three times a week, but English courses have four lessons a week, so 24 lessons in total.
You don’t need to buy any books, but we suggest that all students should bring a notebook and a
pen or pencil to classes. Now, any questions?

Audioscript
Woman: Good morning, everyone. My name’s Michaela and I’m going to give you some
information about our trip today. It takes two hours to get to London, so that means that you will
have from ten fifteen until quarter to five to look around the city. We have to leave at that time as
the traffic gets very bad after five o’clock.
I know some of you want to go shopping, and the new Kings and Queens shopping centre on
Bristol Street is now open. You can get a 15% discount in the shops there. I know it’s not as good
as the 20% we got last year, but I think you’ll agree it’s better than nothing. The staff there just
need to see your coach ticket and they’ll give you your discount.
Please be careful with your wallets and purses! The streets and shops are crowded on Saturdays,
and that’s a chance for pickpockets to steal things. If you have any problems, my mobile number is
0777-5819-236. That’s 0777-5819-236.

Woman: Last year’s school calendar was very popular. Because of this, we are going to make
another one, ready for next year. (6) We hope to finish it by November, so that we can sell it in
early December. We have decided to include drawings, rather than photos, in next year’s calendar.
This is because we think it will be more interesting and less expensive to make.
If you would like to have your drawing in our calendar, you must enter it into our school
competition. (7) The final date to enter the competition is October 12th. We hoped it would be
October 20th, but we had to change the date as we need to print it by early November. We will
choose a different drawing for each month and the best of all will be put on the front cover. The
12 inside pictures will be in black and white, and (8) the one on the front cover will be in colour. So
(9) we need 13 pictures in total. (10) Please send your drawings to Mrs. Rivers. That’s R-I-V-E-R-

Unfortunately he decided not to stay until next year. (6) He is now 60 years old and he would like
to stop teaching before he is 65.
We know that he is popular with our students and we would like to buy him a leaving present. If
we collect enough money, we can buy him something really nice. (7) We have already
collected £60, but we need at least £40 more to make a total of £100. Someone suggested buying
a clock, and someone else suggested a watch. But (8) we decided to buy him a nice DVD player
instead, because he loves watching films! Your teachers will collect money for Mr. Snow in the
school cafeteria after lessons, next Friday.
We finish lessons at midday, on Friday 15th April. (9) On Saturday 16th we will meet at school at
around 5.30 pm to prepare for the party. (10) The party starts at 7 in the evening. Then a student

sale at the information desk. (8) Please remember, you cannot take photographs in the museum.
Of course, you may write down information in your notebooks if you like.
Next year we will have a new exhibition on technology and the natural world. We were hoping to
have it ready by March 13th. Unfortunately, it will now open a month later, on April 12th, (9) a

Man: I’d like to tell you about our plans for the new library. We all feel that in this digital age
students aren’t interested in reading books from a library. They prefer to read a book on a mobile
phone or a tablet. For this reason, we want to make reading more exciting by buying more modern
books and building a new library.
(6) The new library will be beside the cafeteria, so you can buy a coffee or something to eat when
you want a break from studying. The old library, next to the gym, will close on February 28th.
(7) For one week from that date, until March 7th, you will not be able to use either library. (8) On
March 15th, and for two more days, there will be a sale of old library books in the new library.
(9) When the new library opens, students will be able to borrow four books a week. If you have
any ideas about the new library, please send them by email to (10) this website: www-dot-

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

The Christmas party is on the twenty fourth of December, (6) but we have to let Mr Fowler know
we’re taking part by the 15th of December so that leaves us just a week to decide. (7) Mr Fowler is
expecting to receive videos of the people wishing to enter the competition. I thought we could
send the video from our summer holiday but then I remembered the one from Annie’s birthday
last year. It’s much better. (8) I also found out about a website we could practise on. It’s

M: Hello everyone. Now this will take just a minute. As you know tomorrow we are having a fire
practice so today I need to tell you what to do.
When you hear the bell, get up from your desks (6) but you mustn’t run anywhere. Leave all your
things behind … yes, that includes bags, phones, everything.
Then, (7) follow the arrows to the nearest fire exit. You will not have time to wait for friends or
pick things up. There will be no talking, (8) just move out of the building quickly and quietly. Do not
use the lifts, take the stairs instead.
Now I am going to tell you where the main meeting points are. Everyone on Floor One goes to the
park opposite the main building. (9) Floor Two, go to the gym. Floor Three, go to the car park
behind the gym. OK. Got that?
(10) Now, the practice will be tomorrow between 9-1.15! Remember, we’ll continue to work from

really enjoy it. So I’m going to tell you a bit about their summer school.
(6) Courses start on the twentieth of June so you can choose any date that suits you until August
the 15th. Most students choose courses in the middle of July as the weather’s better then.
(7) Courses are available for students who are between eighteen and twenty five years old. (8) But
to work there as an assistant during your studies you have to be at least twenty two. You don’t
need to be good at sports or other languages (9) but they need you to speak good English. That’s
because all classes will be in English.
Each day you’ll get some homework and during your time there you’ll need to do two group
projects, one each week.

Good Morning, I’m going to tell you what you need to know for next Friday’s trip to the Egyptian
Museum. First of all, remember that students pay less than adults, so instead of the usual 8
pounds you will only need to bring 5 pounds fifty; if your parents want to go too, they will have to
pay the full price.
You will go to the museum with the history teacher but he’s ill so you can’t give him the money.
The Maths teacher will collect it tomorrow at the end of her lesson.
The Museum opens at half past nine, but we’ll have to leave school and be at the bus station by
quarter past eight because the journey there is about 45 minutes. We won’t take the train because
it would take longer to get there.
The Museum has a café so you don’t need to bring food or drink. Remember that you can take
photos inside the museum so don’t leave your cameras at home.

There are different prizes for each race. In the school boat race, for those who win the first prize
there is a new surfboard, and those who come second and third will get a book on sailing each.

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.

Welcome to Georgetown Sports Camp. I’d like to give you some information: during your time at
the camp you will find fourteen different sports, five indoor activities and nine outdoor sports. If
you want to do a sport, just write your name on the lists of the sports you would like to do.
Now, clothes. For most sports you can just wear shorts and a T-shirt. As we do both indoor and
outdoor sports, make sure you have a pair of trainers with you, too.
Lunch is served at the snack bar from quarter past twelve and quarter to two. You will find
sandwiches and drinks to buy there, but if you want salad or fruit, you need to go to the little shop
near the bus stop. Don’t eat too much or you won’t be able to run and jump!
For each sport you do, you will get a mark and each mark goes into your final score. If you get over
190 marks in total, you will get a tennis racket. The maximum score is 250 and those who get that
score will win a surfboard.
I hope everything is clear.

Lessons are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but on Wednesday you already have the French course

Now, the price. A single lesson for two students is £25 pounds an hour or £15 for half an hour. I
suggest you start with the one-hour lesson, then once you know the basics you can do half an
hour. You must go to Mr Shelley’s house which is very close to Queen’s Square. The exact address

The hotel is very big, there are 100 bedrooms, but we only need 20, possibly on the same floor.
It’s a very nice hotel with a lot of facilities, such as a gym, a sauna and even a swimming pool, but

Fabio: Hi, Emma! Yes, I did! Did you?
Emma: Yes, I went with some friends, but I didn’t see you there. Did you go alone?
Fabio: I was going to go with a friend from college, but he was busy, so I went with my cousin
Anna. She’s studying fashion design at university.
Emma: When did you go? We were there on Sunday.
Fabio: We actually went twice, once on Friday afternoon and then again on Saturday for the
costume show.
Emma: I missed that one. The children’s fashion show was interesting, but I didn’t like the sports
clothes one. My friend Melissa didn’t like it, either. She said it was boring.
Fabio: That was Anna’s opinion, too, but I thought all the shows were brilliant.
Emma: There’s another exhibition next month: Beautiful Plastic. I’m making some earrings and a

course. I’m glad because we help each other study. But there’s no spare time left for my other

Selling things to students is hard – they don’t have much money, so it must be something that they

Robin: What does the university offer?
Lisa: There are 20 flats in an apartment building in the city centre. Four students share a flat. But
I’m not sure about it. It’s nine kilometres from the university. And what if I don’t like the other

Robin: What else is there?

Robin: So there’s no canteen in Morgan House?
Lisa: That’s right. But on each floor, there’s a kitchen and four bathrooms – oh, and there are 25

B: Unfortunately I couldn’t. It was fully booked; there was a nice campsite near the hotel but it
was too cold; anyway, my father’s best friend lives there, so we stayed there all the time.
A: I’m really glad you had a great time… what was the weather like?
B: It was mostly sunny and warm. I was afraid it would rain a lot: you know it may be a little
boring when it rains in the mountains. I hope next time we’ll stay longer. Two weeks isn’t enough!
A: You mean you’ve going there again next year?
B: Actually, my parents told me they’d like to do something different next summer. They love
visiting foreign towns so we’ll see what to do before June.

A: Hi Adam. Jessie told me you’ve decided to learn how to cook. How is the course you’re doing?
B: Well, it was my mother who told me to do it. At first I thought it wouldn’t be so interesting as I
don’t want to be a chef like her. But half an hour after the class started, I realised it was a great
opportunity: you know how I love good food, so making dishes can be great fun.
A: I’m sure it was great way to spend the day.
B: It was! And being in a kitchen from morning to evening was a very interesting experience. After
the first half hour when the teacher told us what to use, it took me only three hours to make a
very special meal with very simple foods such as cheese, vegetables and eggs. When I got back in
the evening I was really happy about the results.
A: Was the kitchen large?
B: Very large. There were 14 of us, but we had enough space to work.
A: So are you going to the course on desserts next month?
B: I’d love to, but I don’t think I’ll have enough time because next month I have a lot of tests.
Anyway I’d like to keep working in the kitchen by myself. I’d like to try to make a meal for my
vegetarian grandmother. She really loves trying new dishes so I’ll see what I can do: I have an
interesting cookbook with a lot of wonderful vegetable dishes!

Nelly: Well, I can’t wear my own clothes any more like at our old school. I changed school last

Carol: It was a bit long. I wanted to meet my friends after the movie, but it’s already 6 and I have

18 You will hear a girl talking about her clothes. Why does she want to buy some new clothes?

special ones for my birthday.

20 You will hear a man talking about a job. Why didn’t he get it?
M: I can’t believe I didn’t get that job. I am always on time and I have a lot of experience working
as a manager. There aren’t many people who can do this job as well as me. You have to work long
hours and most people don’t want to do that. It’s such a pity that there was so much traffic the
day of the meeting.

16 You will hear a boy and a girl talking about a teacher, Ms Thompson. What does she teach?
A: So what do you think about Ms Thompson?
B: I really like the way she explains things. I mean, we’ve already found out lots of interesting
things about the countries we’re studying this term and not just learning about the capital cities.
She also likes telling us about the history of these countries or what foods you can eat there.
A: I suppose you’re right. Though I still prefer our Maths teacher’s lessons.
17 You will hear a girl talking about her favourite sport. What sport is it?
I love all winter sports. I tried skiing last winter and I really enjoyed it at first but then it got a bit
boring. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than snowboarding. Of course, you need to be fit and
it’s easier to get hurt. That’s why I always train at the gym for a month before I go to the
mountains.
18 You will hear a boy talking with his mother. What does she want him to do?
A: Hi, Mum, I’m back.

A: OK, see you later Mum.
19 You will hear a football coach talking to one of the players. When is the next match?

20 You will hear two friends talking about what they will do tomorrow. What will the weather be

B: OK, let’s try it. The last time we went, it started raining while we were cycling, but it stopped
after a few minutes.

B: Well, I’ll think about it. After all they’re my favourite band.
17 You will hear a boy talking about his teacher. Where is the teacher from?
This year we have a new French teacher. He’s really cool. He told us he studied in France, but he
was born in Djibouti, which is an African country on the Red Sea. His first job was as a tour guide
for a Canadian travel company. But last year he decided to do something more useful for children,
so he chose to become a teacher.

went out on his boat.
Lisa: Fantastic! I’ve never been sailing. Did you swim as well?
Harry: Not on Saturday, but on Sunday we went back to the lake. I don’t usually like swimming
much, but the water was lovely.
Lisa: What else did you do?
Harry: Well, on Monday, we went off to the hills.
Lisa: I love walking.
Harry: Yes. It was really good. Then on Tuesday, we were tired, so we stayed at home. We played
some online games.
Lisa: What about your last day?
Harry: It was sunny on Wednesday, and I wanted to go windsurfing, but we went shopping
instead.
Lisa: Did you buy me a present?
Harry: Well, no, but I sent you a postcard.
Lisa: Well, I haven’t got it yet!
