LONG LISTENING

AUDIOSCRIPT

Jack: Hi Martin, Have you heard the new ‘Sunny Days’ song? I love the drums!

Martin: Yeah, it’s great! My brother has already learnt to play it on the piano and he knows all the words too! I’m learning to play it in my guitar class.

Jack: Cool! I’ve got an old guitar at home, but I can’t play it!

Martin: You should learn, Jack! I love it! I go to classes in the Old Music School with Steve from football. We’re in the same class. Our teacher, Peter, is fantastic! He used to play with the group The Tall Trees.

Jack: Really? Wow! They were a great band! Is there a class on Friday?

Martin: I don’t know. I go on Tuesdays now, but I have to change to Thursdays next term because I’ve just passed the Level 5 exams.

Jack: You must be very good. How often do you practise?

Martin: Every day! I spend an hour and sometimes two in my room and on Saturday mornings my band spends three hours practising. We’re called The Red Chillies!

Jack: Cool.

Martin: Actually, we’re playing in the town music festival on Saturday. I’ve got a free ticket. Do you want to come?

Jack: Yes! Thanks very much. Is it at the music school?

Martin: No. Last year it was in the music school, but this year it’s in the park, near the shopping centre. It’s going to be great. Can you bring your camera to take photos?

Jack: Of course! What time will you be on stage?

Martin: Well, I need to arrive at quarter past six and there’s a singing competition at quarter past seven, but I think we’re starting at quarter to eight.

Jack: OK. We can have dinner in the Street Café afterwards.

Martin: That sounds great. See you on

Saturday!

Jack: OK. Bye.

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.

Audioscript

Teacher: OK. Everyone, I’m going to tell you some important things about our visit to the City Art Gallery tomorrow. First of all, you don’t have to wear your school uniform, but please do wear comfortable shoes. The bus will leave the school at 9.00 am, so you must arrive at half past eight. If you are going to be late, telephone the school secretary. You can also meet the class at the museum at 10.00 am. We will meet a tour guide in the museum at half past ten. He knows a lot about all of the paintings, but tomorrow he will show us the five most important pictures in the gallery. You must listen carefully because you will have to write about your favourite painting for homework. You mustn’t use cameras or mobile phones inside the museum, but you can write things down, so bring a notebook and a pen. Finally, remember that you have to bring some food and drink because there isn’t a café in the museum. We will eat our lunch in the park after our visit. Are there any questions?
