Luis: Charlotte! I’ve got the computer game
called Green Space.
Charlotte: Where did you find out about it, Luis?
Luis: I borrowed a magazine from a schoolfriend
and there was an ad for it. I asked my mum and
she bought it for me from their website.
Charlotte: I really like that game. It’s not new,
but it’s my favourite game because it isn’t easy. I
play it a lot, which is strange because it’s not funny
at all! Who are you going to play it with?
Luis: Well, my brother’s too busy studying, and
my cousin Amy only likes board games. But my
granddad has lots of time, so I want to play with
him. How long do you usually play it for?
Charlotte: When I was sick last Wednesday, I
played for an hour and a half. Then, on Friday, an
hour. And on Saturday, three quarters of an hour!
Which part do you like best?
Luis: Crossing the river’s really good, but the bit I
enjoy most is finding something to eat. The part
about building a hut’s my least favourite.

Lizzie: It was great, wasn’t it, Jasmine?
Especially when we went swimming. It was too
windy to swim in the sea, but the lake was great

Jasmine: Sleeping in a tent was new for me. I

unhappy that he couldn’t come with us.
Lizzie: Cooking was fun. Well, sometimes. It was

made?
Jasmine: Yes, I was really hungry that day.
Lizzie: The campsite was quite big, but it’s a pity

I play football. In the end, I found a website with a
famous surfer showing people the best way to

19 You will hear a girl talking about her
day at school. Which subject did she like
best?
Girl: School was great today. First, we had a

I love all winter sports. I tried skiing last winter and

snowboarding. Of course, you need to be fit and

Boy: Last weekend was amazing, wasn’t it?

Girl: Yes, it was. Everyone had a lot of fun. But,
oh, I fell over a lot and my legs hurt!
Boy: Mine too. Getting down the hill was harder
than playing a whole football match!
Girl: I want to go there again, but first I’m going
to the sports centre to get fit.
19 You will hear one of the staff at a zoo
giving a talk. What does he want visitors to
do?
Man: Now it’s important not to give penguins
food like the burgers you can buy from the zoo’s
restaurant. Wild penguins eat fish and small sea
creatures so today I want some of our younger
visitors to help me give the penguins the fish I
prepared. OK? Now, what about you? Yes, the boy
with a toy penguin from the zoo shop. Here’s a fish.
20 You will hear a man talking to his
daughter about presents. Why does the
girl decide to buy her mum the umbrella?
Girl: Dad, do you think Mum would like this
perfume for her birthday?
Dad: Mmm, it’s a bit expensive. What about this
umbrella?
Girl: Oh yes, she lost hers on the bus and she
wants a dark one.

Dad: Yes, that looks perfect. And I can get her a

new handbag.
Girl: Oh yes. Her brown bag is too small for her
new tablet.

Robert: Have you started the project for Mr Lee
yet, Tessa?
Tessa: The one about Australian music? Mum
loves that. She’ll help me.
Robert: But it’s about African music! Remember?
Tessa: Oh yes! I don’t know anything about that!
My favourite is American rap!
Robert: I can help you. I’ve got some good
information.
Tessa: Have you got a book about it then,
Robert?
Robert: I haven’t read anything, but I heard
something on the radio and made some notes.
Maybe we should get a CD, too.
Tessa: Good idea! When do we have to give the
project to Mr Lee?
Robert: On the last day of the month, just before
the holidays start.
Tessa: That means we’ve only got seven days!
Giaoandethitienganh.info

Robert: That’s right!

Tessa: Can we work on the project together after
lessons this afternoon?
Robert: Tomorrow’s better. I’ve got other
homework tonight.
Tessa: OK. And do we have to write about all the
different instruments?
Robert: No. We can choose which one to write
about. I love the guitar and I like classical piano
music, too, but drums are more exciting so let’s
write about those!
Tessa: OK.

shopping in the afternoon and buy a DVD of Fred’s
favourite band in concert.

17 You will hear a teacher talking to his

class. What does the teacher want his
class to do?
Man: Your stories are looking great. I can’t wait
to find out how they end. Remember you can learn
by reading each other’s stories and asking
questions about anything that isn’t clear. Can you
get into groups of four and get started? I want you
to use exciting language, so think of words that
your classmates can use. There’s plenty of time, so
don’t hurry.
18 You will hear a mother talking to her
son, George. What’s the problem?
Mum: That cake smells nice, George.
Boy: Oh, good. I bought it for Sarah. It’s got
chocolate in it.
Mum: Oh dear. Your cousin can’t eat that,
remember. It made her feel ill the last time she ate
it.
Boy: Oh no! Shall I make her a carrot cake
instead?
Mum: That’s a good idea. Fruit and vegetables
don’t make her feel sick.
19 You will hear a teacher talking to
students. Which meal does the teacher
want the children to make?

Woman: Now on our camping trip there are

some things you should know. Please take turns to
wash the dinner dishes in the farmhouse. After
dinner tonight, we’d like you to help make
sandwiches. That’s for all of us to take on
tomorrow’s trip to a forest for our lunch. Then
there’s free time while the teachers talk to the
farmers about breakfast.
20 You will hear a girl talking about a
programme she watched. Why did she like
it?
Boy: Did you watch that new comedy programme
last night?
Girl: No, I wanted to watch the documentary
about bears after my dad watched the news.
Boy: Oh, the news is so boring. My older brother
always watches it. My mum and I laughed a lot
during the show. It was called Crazy Cookies.
Girl: That’s an interesting name … . The
photography was amazing in the documentary.

Rob: Hi, Andrea.
Andrea: Oh, hi Rob.

Rob: Do you fancy going on a day trip to the

beach this Saturday?
Andrea: Good idea! Is your brother coming?
Rob: No, my brother can’t come. He’s going to
London this weekend to meet one of our cousins.
But my sister wants to go.
Andrea: OK. So, is your sister driving?
Rob: No, she hasn’t got a car yet! There’s a bus,
but it’s very slow. I think the train’s the best idea.
Andrea: All right. Shall we take a picnic? I can
bring some sandwiches.
Rob: Well, we’ve got a lot of bread for
sandwiches so I’ll take them. I’ll bring the drinks,
too. You can bring cakes if you like.
Andrea: OK, good idea. How much is the train
fare? Is it more than £10?
Rob: Well, for my sister it’ll be £12, I think, but
it’s £8 for us with our student card.
Andrea: That’s good. I’ll take my student card.
Rob: Great! So, shall we meet at your house?
Andrea: There’s no point. I can meet you at the
station. My mum will take me there.
Rob: OK. Let’s get the 8.30 train.

16 You will hear a tour guide showing

tourists around a building. What does he
show them?
Man: Now, I’m going to take you to the most
historical part of the castle. This part dates back to
the year 984 when there was a wooden castle
here, it was only in 1392 that a stone castle was
built. You’ll see that the stone blocks are quite big.
We think they were transported here by boat.
17 You will hear a girl and boy talking.
What do they have to do for homework
this week?
Boy: Did you write down what Mr Simpson said
we have to do for homework?
Girl: Yes, I’ve written it here.
Boy: Let me have a look. … OK, so we have to
ask someone old what it was like in our town 50
years ago?
Girl: Yes, he wants us to prepare a presentation
on life in the past but not till next week.
18 You will hear a teacher talking to a
student. What is the problem?
Teacher: Do you have a moment, Jim? I’d like to
talk to you about your homework.
Jim: Oh, is there a problem with it? It took me
ages to do it.
Giaoandethitienganh.info

Teacher: It’s very good, in fact you did very well

because you’ve done next week’s homework
before we’ve studied it!
Jim: Oh! Have I?
Teacher: Can you do this week’s homework for
tomorrow?
19 You will hear a father talking to his
daughter. What should the girl do?
Dad: OK, so we’ve put the tents up and made the
beds so all the family has somewhere to sleep
tonight.
Girl: Shall I wash the tea cups? There are a lot of
them.
Dad: No, you can do that after dinner. First, can
you help me make a camp fire?
Girl: Sure. We learned how to do that last
summer at scout camp.
20 You will hear a woman in a library
talking to a boy. Where are the local
history books?
Boy: I’d like to find out about my town in the
past. Are there any good websites I can look at?
Woman: There are, but there are also a lot of
books on local history. They’re often better than
the Internet.
Boy: Are they in the history section?
Giaoandethitienganh.info

Woman: No, there’s a special shelf for them.

They’re just by the computers.
Boy: Thanks, I’ll look there.
