Hi Nadia. Just wanted to talk to you about my birthday party on Saturday. We’re all going to the Mansion Restaurant, as you know, and I’ve booked for twelve. Well, Helena has just said she can’t come and I was wondering about inviting Niki instead. She’s fun but you know what I mean, don’t you when I say she can be a bit loud and not everyone gets on with her. I think I know what you’ll say but let me know what you think. Ring me back as soon as you can, won’t you? Hope you can still come.

AUDIOSCRIPT

Boy: How was the diving trip?

Girl: It was great, but I learned to dive in a swimming pool where the water doesn't move around much. Going underwater in the sea was a completely different experience. I seemed to become totally unable to do all those things that I got so good at in the pool.

Boy: So is it something you'd like to have another go at?

Girl: I'll think about it, but if I do, I need to make sure I go with my cousin

Martin again. It gave me a bit more confidence to be underwater with

someone I knew.

The correct answer is B.

Girl: How was London?

Boy: Great, except we got lost.

Girl: Oh no! How?

Boy: My dad had this guide book which was at least 20 years old. We told him lots of things would be different now, so most of what was in it would be wrong. Even though it was old, it was probably more accurate than the information a guy on the street gave us for getting to Big Ben - we ended up somewhere completely different! We only used the book for getting around on the Underground in the end - the map's almost the same as it was back then.

The correct answer is B.

1 You will hear a girl telling her uncle about school. What is her favourite subject?

Steph: Hi Uncle Jamie.

Uncle: Hi Steph, how’s school these days? 

Steph: Well, science lessons have got really hard, so I’m losing interest in them. But art classes are the opposite. They give me a chance to relax, and are the best part of my week. I really like my history teacher, but I’m not so interested in this term’s topic.

Uncle: I see!

Narrator: Now listen again.

Boy: I really enjoyed that. I came so close to getting the ball in the net a few times, too. 

Girl: If you all play as well as that in every game, you should start actually beating some of the other teams. 

Boy: I hope so. We've all trained really hard this season, and our new coach has made a big difference. I think I probably played better than 

usual because Mum and Dad could both get here for once. I'm always really cheerful when they do. 

Girl: Well I'm sure they enjoyed it as much as I did. 

Boy: I hope so. 

The correct answer is letter C.
