Track 1
Speaker A: I live in a cottage. It’s a (1) .................................building so the rooms are all on
the same level. It’s about a hundred years old and it’s a very (2) ............................., so there’s
no concrete or steel to be found. Just about all the buildings in this area were built
from (3)...........................from the local quarry. It’s got a lot of character. What I like best
about it are the ceilings. They’re quite ornate as they have lots of pretty (4) …………………………
on them. Although some people think it’s small, I prefer to think of it as cosy.
Speaker B: My flat is in a new high-rise building in the city centre. The design
is (5).........................., so there’s a lot of glass and concrete and steel – and not a lot of wood
to be seen. Everything is controlled through a (6)..........................computer system. It’s a
very functional apartment and there’s a space to suit every purpose, but I do find the bedrooms
a bit cramped. My favourite spot is the (7).............................my building towers
over everything else, so I can see for miles.
Speaker C: I live in a two-storey house. It’s a very conventional (8).........................building
and it’s typical of the area where I live. I love the (9)..........................rooms as they’re very
spacious. I spend a lot of time in the living room because it’s so light and airy. But my favourite
feature is definitely the (10) .................................It curves around at the bottom and just seems
to invite you to climb it.
Track 2
Woman: Hello, I wonder if you could help me. I’m moving to Liverpool next month and I’ve got
a job at the children’s hospital, so I need to find accommodation near there.
Man: Yes, of course. Now, the hospital you’re talking about has some very
nice (1) ...................................nearby. The first one I’d recommend you look at is called
Broadgreen.
Woman: Right, can you tell me a bit about the area itself? I have a car but I’m not
a (2) ...................................and I’d rather use other forms of transport as much as I can.
Man: Well, this area has a very good bus service and a train service as well, so it’s really
convenient as far as that’s concerned.
Woman: Good. I’d like to use (3).............................when I can. Now, I come from London
and parking can be a real problem there. Is that the same here?
Man: Yeah, my sister lives in London and she has to pay for parking in her own street! You’ll be
glad to hear we don’t have that problem here.
Woman: That’s great. I’m hoping the (4)..................................here will be a lot less than in
London. What are the rents like? We pay over £200 a week on average, and that’s in a cheaper
area of London.
Man: Wow, well, you’ll be glad to know the average weekly rent here is around
(5) £.................................So you’ll be saving around half what you have been paying.
