LISTENING PARTI
Questions 1-7
1
Girl: I watched three really different films this weekend. The first, called ‘Heart’, was a
romantic film set in New York. It was pretty entertaining, but I couldn’t help thinking I’d
seen it all before. The next one I watched was called ‘Run!’ and it was an adventure film. I
started watching it again as soon as it had finished, even though I knew what was going to
happen the second time around. Finally, I watched ‘The Dark’, a horror film that I found
about as scary as a kids’ cartoon.
2
Girl: How was yourtrip to the transport museum?
Boy: It was good, thanks, although the special exhibition we’d gone there to see about
aeroplanes was closed - there was a problem with the lights, I think.
Girl: There are so many other things to see there, though.
Boy: That’s true. I’d never noticed how old some of the cars were before.
Girl: And some of the trains, too. I spent ages looking at them when I went.
Boy: Yes, I like them, too, although we didn’t get to that part of the museum this time.
3
Boy: Are you going away with your family this summer?
Girl: Yes, but we still haven’t decided where yet. My brother’s suggested going to the ocean
rather than the mountains this year, and I’d prefer to do that, too. I love where we usually go -
there’s a beautiful lake and things - but we’ve been there quite a few times now. My parents
keep talking about going to a big city somewhere. There’d be lots to do there, but I’m not
sure it’d be very relaxing.
Boy: No, probably not.
4
Boy: Did you go to the show last night?

4
Girl: I did. It was great, and they played all their best songs. There were so many people
there, and we were all dancing together. I was sure my hat was going to fall off and I
wouldn’t be able to get it back. I ended up putting it in my bag. I had to hold on to that, too,
but it still didn’t stop my hairbrush fallingout. I had a look for it afterwards, but couldn’t find
it anywhere.
Boy: Oh, no!
5
Woman: Hi, how did your appointment go?
Boy: Yeah, fine. They didn’t need to do anything.
Woman: Great! So your eyes are all OK then?
Boy: The sight test is next week, actually. Mum - I was having my teeth checked today.
Woman: Oh yes, of course. Your dad made the appointments this time, so I couldn’t
remember who you were seeing first. He should be back from the doctor’s any minute.
Boy: So are you making the dinner tonight then?
Woman: I am, and it’s your favourite - spaghetti.
Boy: Great!
6
Mon: This is a message for Annabelle. It’s Barker’s Bookshop calling-you ordered some
books from us last week. One of them’s come in, but the other two won’t be in until
Thursday, I’m afraid. The one called ‘Make your own Fashion’ is taking longer than we
expected, and I think we told you that ‘Saving Tigers’ is quite an old book, so is harder to
find. It’s up to you whether you want to get The History of Sandham Castle now or wait until
the others come in. OK, bye.
7
Girl: Do you still play basketball?
Boy: I do, but I’m ready fora change. I’ve always fancied trying golf, but there isn’t really
anywhere near here where you can play. So that’s why I’ve decided on ice hockey instead.
Girl: They’re looking for players at my rugby club - why don’t you come for a practice there
one day. I mean, you love watching it.
Boy: I do, but it always seems pretty dangerous to me and you don’t really wear anything to
protect you, do you?
Girl: Not really, no. That’s why it’s so good!
PART 2
Questions 8-13
8
Boy: Hey, what happened to you? You just disappeared from the theatre yesterday.
Girl: Erm, well, I did tell the teacher I wanted to leave.
Boy: What was wrong? I didn’t think the play was that terrible?

5
Girl: It was nothing to do with that. You know what it’s like when you get toothache, though
- you can’t concentrate on anything. The teacher phoned my mum who contacted the dentist,
but they couldn’t see me yesterday, even though it was a bit of an emergency. So I had to go
this morning.
Boy: It seems you’ll do anything to avoid going to the theatre!
9
Girl: The party was fun, wasn’t it?
Boy: It was. It was a bit of a shame that everyone was told to bring anything they wanted,
rather than making a list of who should bring what.
Girl: Yes, it certainly meant that lots of people brought the same thing.
Boy: Not having lots of stuff to choose from doesn’t bother me as long as you like what’s
there, which I did.
Girl: Me too. I didn’t see anyone eating what I brought - apart from us of course.
Boy: No, but that meant there was more for us.
10
Girl: Did you see the soccer match last night?
Boy: Sure did, and although I can’t say I was unhappy at the result, it wasn’t the most
interesting game I’ve ever seen.
Giri: They’ve played better, I agree, but I didn’tthink they did that badly, especially that guy
you really like.
Boy: He did well, but he was the only one who did. Imagine if he got injured and couldn’t
play for a few weeks “they’d lose every game.
Giri: Let’s hope that never happens. Anyway, I thought it was a pretty entertaining game.
Boy: I’ve seen our school team play more interesting soccer.
11
Boy: Have you been in the new science building yet?
Girl: I had a class in there this morning. It’s a shame they’ve used all the stuff for
experiments from the old building.
Boy: Yes, it’d be nice to have new things like that as well as a new building. What do you
think of it inside?
Girl: The colours are nice and those paintings make it look really modern.
Boy: I don’t think we share the same taste in colours and paintings, but I’m really impressed
with the design of the outside.
Girl: I can’t think of a building I like the look of more.
12
Boy: Have you started your blog yet?
Girl: I’ve already written five entries and have had nice comments from some readers. That
really makes it seem like it was worth doing, despite all the issues I had when I was getting it

6
ready. The website I used said it was easy to create a blog - and maybe it is for someone
who’s a bit more familiar with IT than lam.
Boy: Have you put pictures in, too?
Girl: A few. I think I need more, though, to get it lookingas good as some of the other blogs
I’ve seen.
13
Boy: Are you still enjoying your Chinese lessons?
Girl: I am, but we always focus on reading and writing. I know they’re important, but I want
to learn other skills, too.
Boy: There’s loads of stuff online for improving reading and writing, but less for speaking, I
guess. It’s the same problem with coursebooks - they’re good for exercises on grammar and
things, but you obviously can’t talk to a book!
Girl: No ...
Boy: But lots of people learn Chinese these days, so there must be groups that meet just to
practise talking to each other. Why not search for one of those?
Girl: Hmm, maybe.
