1 You will hear two friends talking about their exams.

Paula: Hey John, how’s it going?


John: Not great.
Paula: Why? What’s wrong?
John: I’ve just had the worst maths exam ever! I was expecting it to be difficult, but honestly, it
was impossible. I couldn’t answer any of the questions.
Paula: I bet that’s not true. You always do better than you think and I’m sure you’ve passed.
John: That’s easy for you to say. You always do brilliantly.
Paula: We get the results in a couple of weeks, so I guess I can take the exam again if I have
to! Tomorrow it’s English, so I’d better do some revision for that.

2 You will hear two friends discussing weekend activities.

Linda: Well, I thought that the art gallery was amazing. I can’t believe you didn’t like the
paintings.
Joe: You know me. I much prefer being outside. All the galleries and museums get so
crowded, and then you can’t see anything properly.
Linda: I don’t really mind that to be honest, but next time we’ll do what you want. We can walk
round the park and perhaps we can find a market. You know how I love finding bargains.
Joe: That sounds like a plan! Let’s just hope it doesn’t rain next weekend, and then we’ll both
be happy.

3 You will hear two people talking about their holiday.

Anna: I can’t believe we’re actually going on holiday next week.


Liam: Yeah, me too. Two weeks of sun, sea and sand. It’s so exciting.
Anna: I know it’s going to be amazing, but I’m a little nervous about the flight. You know I don’t
like flying.
Liam: Oh come on Anna! It’ll be fine. Once we’re there, you’ll forget all about it.
Anna: I guess you’re right. But you know how stressed Mum and Dad get before we actually
go away. They’re always worried about forgetting something so that makes me nervous too.
Liam: Relax! You know what they’re like … it’s always the same.

4 You will hear two friends talking about their homes.

David: So how’s it going in your new home? Have you settled in?
Lucy: Well, I’m still getting used to having my own room. You know I always used to share with
my little sister but now it’s great, we both have our own bedrooms and I’ve finally got enough
space for all my stuff.
David: Lucky you! My room’s tiny. Rob got the biggest room when we moved because he’s the
oldest. It’s so unfair.
Lucy: Well, at least you have your own room. It was impossible, sharing with Gemma. She
never left me alone and she was so untidy.

5 You will hear two friends talking about horse riding.

Simon: Did I tell you I’m thinking of taking up horse riding?


Hannah: Since when? I thought you were afraid of horses!
Simon: No, I’m not. You’re the one who’s always said you’re scared. I’ve always wanted to
ride and now I have the chance to have a few lessons to see how I like it.
Hannah: OK, well, when do you start?
Simon: Hopefully next week. I’m going to find out about lessons today and then I can book
something. There’s no hurry, as I don’t even have the right clothes yet.

6 You will hear a mother and her son talking about photography.

Mum: So Jack, how was your trip to the new art gallery?
Jack: Yeah, it was good. I didn’t really feel like going but once we were there I really enjoyed
myself.
Mum: What did you see?
Jack: A photo exhibition. Mainly photos of deserts and mountains but they were really
atmospheric. Actually they’re running a competition for local schools, so I think I’ll enter. The
theme is the natural world, and I’ve got photos from our last holiday … I took lots of the beach
and the river. One or two of them might be good enough. And the first prize is a camera!
Mum: Well, I know you’d like a new one, so let’s hope you win!
