we mean, for singular countable nouns and for jobs.
2 Use the when its clear which thing we mean, when
theres only one of something, e.g. the longest river in
the world and for nationality words.
3 Use the zero article when we mean something in
general, e.g. money is the root of all evil, for most
geographical names/cities, streets, stations, etc.

Exam Tip!
Although there is no right or wrong way of approaching
this task, many students find skimming the base text
first and then skimming the options A-H helps them be
aware of the text as a whole. They can then go through
each option carefully and highlight clues in each option
and in the text which help them find the correct option.
For example, That is a very long time in D refers to travel
for two or three days in the text. When checking
answers always ask students how they found the
answer. They should do this in the exam too.

important aspect of society to them and why.
Play the recording once and ask students to compare
their answers in pairs. Then play it a second time and
check the answers as a whole class.
If you have time, as a post-listening activity, get

Speaker 1
When I joined the company where I work now, I
realised that lots of my colleagues belonged to a
local gym and that the company paid for them to do
that. And at first I just thought, thats nice, we can all
have fun together and it might be a good way for me
to get to know new people. How wrong can you get?
After just a couple of weeks the pressure started
building up. I was expected to take on more and
more and I realised that if I didnt start playing
squash or something like that my blood pressure
would rocket!
Speaker 2
It was when I was a teenager. Looking back on it now,
I can see that it was just a phase I was going through.
Those teenage years are hard and I was beginning to
lose my self-esteem. Luckily for me we had a brilliant
sports teacher; she was always full of energy, so
made you feel good. She could also see and
understand what was happening to us. She suggested
I played tennis for the school because I was quite
good at it. I began to do well and even won a
championship and before I knew it, I had a very
positive outlook on life.
Speaker 4
I moved to a new town because of a fantastic job
opportunity. I knew I was going to have to work long
hours and that the job would be challenging. But I
was determined that wouldnt stop me from enjoying
my free time. I joined a dance class because someone
had told me that a really good crowd went there and
did lots of things together after the classes. That
sounded just the thing I was looking for and I havent
looked back since or had a night in in front of the
telly!

Speaker 5
I was finding I was sleeping more and more and just
couldnt be bothered to do much at all apart from
study, eat, and sleep. Then I went to stay with my

Im tired of society blaming its problems on television.
How can teen pregnancy, child murderers, and drug
abuse caused by television? The problem occurs when
television sets start raising children, instead of parents.
Parents need to take responsibility for their children and
censor what they watch. When I was younger, It was my
parents who taught me right from wrong and not
television programmes.

Exam Strategies
1 There are 7 parts.
Part 1 is a multiple-choice cloze. It has 8 questions
and each question has 4 options.
Part 2 is an open cloze. There are 8 gaps. You have to
insert one word only for each gap.
Part 3 is word formation. There are 8 gaps - each one
corresponding to a word. The stem of the missing
word is given beside the text and must be changed to
form the missing word.
Part 4 is key word transformation. There are 6
separate items, each with a lead-in sentence and a
gapped second sentence to be completed in two to
five words, one of which is a given key word.
Part 5 is a multiple-choice task. It has 6 questions
and each question has 4 options.
Part 6 is a gapped text. You have to match sentences
to gaps in the text.
Part 7 is multiple matching. You have to match
prompts to elements in the text(s).
2 Parts 1-3: each correct answer receives 1 mark.
Part 4: each correct answer receives 2 marks.
Parts 5-6: each correct answer receives 2 marks.
Part 7: each correct answer receives 1 mark.
3 It is important to read the title of the texts because it
helps you predict the content; it gets you ready for
the text.
4 If you dont know the meaning of a word in a text, you
should try to deduce its meaning from the context.

3 If you write too many words, it probably means you
are including material which is not relevant and you
could lose marks because of this. The examiner
draws a line at the approximate place where the
correct length is reached and directs close
assessment to what comes before this. However,
credit is given for relevant work which comes later. If
your answer is too short, the examiner adjusts the
maximum mark and the mark given proportionately.

Man: Now that was a bad day! Id been with the kids
all morning and theyd been driving me crazy, as
usual! So Id taken them to the park to burn off some
of that energy. Id taken off my jacket and was sitting
on a bench, enjoying the sun Anyway suddenly
there was this yelling and shouting, so I raced over
it turned out to be nothing. of course, but by the time
I got back it had gone! I dont know how I could have
been so stupid. I mean, thats not like me at all! It had
everything in it my phone, cards, keys, everything.
My partner wasnt very impressed! It took me days to
sort out.

Woman: I used to have a bracelet that I wore
everywhere. Friends were always teasing me about it,
saying that it had been permanently attached to me
at birth, like some sort of name tag or something.
Anyway, one afternoon I looked down and it wasnt
there. I looked everywhere but it had simply vanished.
I guess it must have got caught on something or just
fallen off somewhere without my noticing. It was just
very unlucky, but I was devastated still am in fact
Its silly really I doubt it was worth very much. Its

I think whats exciting these days is the feeling that the
whole concept of society is changing; and thats good. I
dont mean we should throw out our traditions and only
embrace everything thats new, but what I do mean is
that we have the opportunity now to see the world as a
whole, to take care of the earth and to look beyond our
immediate surroundings. I know some people dont like
this idea because they think well lose our identity but I
see it as the society of the 21st century.
Speaker 2
Theres no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the
hallmark of a civilised society is one where firstly,
education is freely available. Whether a person comes
from a deprived background or a privileged one, that
person has the right to free education, which will allow
him or her to make choices in life. People should be able
to study and work to the best of their ability and no doors
should be closed to them because of their background,
religion, or ethnicity. I feel really strongly about this.
Speaker 3
I used to think that society meant knowing where you
came from and respecting that. You know, wanting to
hear stories from old folk about how life was when they
were young and reading about the past. But I go by what I
see happening now to judge whether a place has a sense
of community or not. Youve only got to look round any
city, town or village and to take a look at whats going on
there to see if that society has a sense of community.
Have they organised events such as music festivals and
so on or can no one be bothered?
Speaker 4
This is a really hard subject to talk about because its so
complicated. I live in London, a huge multicultural city,
and what I see that I really like is people celebrating
everyone elses customs. I mean, Chinese New Year is a
huge event in most big cities around the world and
everyone joins in. And I think this is whats important.
Even if, as we say, we now live in a global village, people
should still celebrate New Year, Divali and countless other
events wherever they are. They shouldnt lose this.

Ive had a long and rich life. And I dont mean rich in the

Interviewer: I see.
James: Ive been there quite a few times now and
something funny seems to happen each time. My family
still laughs about the time I was there on my own and I
locked myself out and had to sleep in the garden. And
the first time I went there the boiler broke down in the
middle of winter. I was freezing. I had to wear all my old
sweaters. And when the guy came to repair the boiler he
thought I was some sort of recluse or hermit. I just burst
into fits of laughter.
James: Yes, can I just say it hasnt all been easy though.
Id only just started going out with my girlfriend when all
this happened. Suddenly I was left with hardly any time to
see her as I had to dash off to Japan, or New York or
Berlin. But I channelled all the feelings and all the things
that have happened to me as I was going through in my
meteoric rise to stardom and thats the basis of the
album.
Interviewer: Ive heard you say that you love language
is that what makes you such a good songwriter?
James: I think youve got to enjoy working with words and
feelings. Some would argue that music has more
capacity to unleash feelings and I can understand that
but dont necessarily agree. For me, I love hearing songs
in other languages; the sounds are strange and exciting
at the same time.

become too distant from your fans. How do you feel

When I joined the company where I work now, I realised
that lots of my colleagues belonged to a local gym and
that the company paid for them to do that. And at first I
just thought, thats nice, we can all have fun together and
it might be a good way for me to get to know new people.
How wrong can you get? After just a couple of weeks the
pressure started building up. I was expected to take on
more and more and I realised that if I didnt start playing
squash or something like that my blood pressure would
rocket!
Speaker 2
It was when I was a teenager. Looking back on it now, I can
see that it was just a phase I was going through. Those
teenage years are hard and I was beginning to lose my
self-esteem. Luckily for me we had a brilliant sports
teacher; she was always full of energy, so made you feel
good. She could also see and understand what was
happening to us. She suggested I played tennis for the
school because I was quite good at it. I began to do well
and even won a championship and before I knew it, I had a
very positive outlook on life.
Speaker 3
I cant say that my job is stressful but there is a drawback
to it, and that is its sedentary. I began to notice my
waistline expanding so I decided to join the local golf
club. I know that its not the most physical of sports but it
works for me. I get out onto the green most weekends
and end up walking quite a few miles. People keep asking
me if I go there to make more business contacts but I can
honestly say that wasnt my intention but I have made
some good new friends almost as an extra bonus!
Speaker 4
I moved to a new town because of a fantastic job
opportunity. I knew I was going to have to work long
hours and that the job would be challenging. But I was
determined that wouldnt stop me from enjoying my free
time. I joined a dance class because someone had told
me that a really good crowd went there and did lots of
things together after the classes. That sounded just the
thing I was looking for and I havent looked back since
or had a night in in front of the telly!

Speaker 1
Before I went for the interview everyone I talked to
seemed to have really good advice and I was getting
stressed with all the new information. What Id
recommend though, because it actually helped me, is
make a short list of what you think the requirements are
in the position. For example, the ad might have said
something like, good communication essential. So if you
keep this in your head at interview, you can bring in
examples to demonstrate that you have the ability to do
this. Itll make them realise that youre the right person for
the job.
Speaker 2
A friend gave me a great tip. Before you leave the house,
do a quick search on Google to get latest share prices,
and any mention of the company in Google news. Having
fresh up-to-date information on the company gives you
extra points. But my tip is, think about your whole
appearance. Id put on a nice suit, plain shirt, and tie. But
I hadnt thought beyond that. I just put all my papers in a
plastic bag. When I arrived, I saw the interviewers smile
change to a frown as his gaze went from my suit to what I
was holding in my hand!
Speaker 3
This is key to the process. And theres nothing wrong with
physically getting out your piece of paper when you are
at the interview. It shows you have prepared and made
an effort. Be careful not to ask about things in a wooden
way though and this can happen if youre reading from
your notes. Make sure you find out exactly what the job
involves, who youll be working with, etc. All this shows
that youre keen and interested. And remember an
interview is a two-way process; they need you as much
as you need them.

Ive had quite a few interviews for, lets see, about 4 jobs.
So I was getting a bit blas by the time I had my last
interview. I thought, well, Ive done my homework on the
company, I know what theyll ask me and what Ill ask
them. What I hadnt accounted for though was I had to
park my car on a meter and can you believe it, I didnt
have any change. It took quite a while to find a caf
where I could get the right coins. I ended up flying
through the door about five minutes late in a right state.
All I can say is dont do that. Its really hard to regain your
self-composure.
6.B
Speaker 5
This isnt always easy but if you know before the
interview, itll help you to refine your preparation around
their needs. One of the most common causes is that
someone is leaving. And that then begs the question
why. If youre using an employment agency, they might
know. It could also be that as they develop, they require
people with different skills. Of course the ideal situation is
if you know someone who already works there. But
remember an employee doesnt always have an unbiased
view of things.

A friend of mine had been talking about ecotourism and
the effect that mass tourism can have on a particular
environment, so when I started looking for a holiday I
kept that in mind. The company that I ended up choosing
talked a lot about how they bought locally produced food
and locally produced crafts in their hotels. I liked this
idea because it made me think that at least part of what
Id paid would be going back into the local economy. The
company also offered holidays in some quite unusual
locations so that was an added bonus!
Speaker 2
I guess I am what youd call green so I didnt need any
persuading to look for an eco-holiday. I often go on

Now that was a bad day! Id been with the kids all

yelling and shouting, so I raced over it turned out to be
nothing, of course, but by the time I got back it had gone!

just looked at me blankly and asked what I was going on
about Well, I can laugh about it now, but at the time it
wasnt funny. Still, it made me realise youve got to take
responsibility for looking after the things you value. You
cant expect other people to do it for you.

It was really interesting going to visit the campus. For me,
the main attraction of this college is the fact that I can
get there by bus each day from my village, but it was still
interesting to go and see everything. The whole site was
much bigger than I expected and the layout is
complicated I kept getting lost trying to find my way
round! The buildings are all modern, though, which is
good. I want to study sciences, so up-to-date labs and
equipment are much more important to me than the all
historic libraries and stuff that some places have.
Two
Although they dont offer an enormous number of
different subjects at the college I visited, I was really
impressed with the way the programmes organised. You
do a lot of the work online and the teachers give you
feedback by email, so you dont have to go in for many
lectures, and you dont have to go and live on the
campus or anything like that. In fact, the college itself is
just part of a downtown skyscraper. For anyone who
associates doing a degree with medieval courtyards and
dusty old books, it would be no good at all!
Three
I didnt really know anything about the college before I
applied, so I hadnt realised that the buildings themselves
had won a big international prize for the way theyre
designed. Studying in such awesome surroundings must
be amazing, so for that reason alone, its definitely top of
my list. The range of courses on offer is pretty standard,
so Id have no problem finding one where I could
combine law and languages which is my aim, and the
quality of the teachings reckoned to be good. The
accommodation blocks looked pretty basic inside, but
fine.
Four
I knew what I was looking for in a college. I wanted one
which had a lovely old library where I could sit and lose
myself in my reading, surrounded by books that had been
used by generations of scholars before me. I guess thats
why Ive applied to do philosophy. People doing other
subjects might be looking for the latest equipment or
online course delivery, and theres nothing wrong with
that. The range of topics on the course is fairly limited,
but I can put up with that, and there are one or two things
Ive never heard of thats enough of a challenge for me.
Five
The fact that the campus is in the middle of the
countryside means that you have to live in student
accommodation. I was expecting it to be very basic,

You hear two friends talking about a new sports centre
thats just opened in their area.
M: Have you been to the new sports centre yet?
F: Yeah, its great that the local councils willing to invest
so much money in a place like that for young people to
use. And the gyms just incredible, they havent bought
cheap equipment or anything its all the latest stuff. The
only thing that bothered me was that I thought the
membership fees were a bit high shouldnt it be free for
local people?
M: Oh come on theyve got to get some of the money
back somehow. Just think how much private gyms cost to
use especially if you want the latest equipment.
Anyway, it isnt only for kids, you know. Its for everybody.

You hear part of an interview with a successful
businesswoman.
M: So whats it like being the only woman on the board?
F: Basically, when I go to meetings of the management in
the company, I make an effort to dress well and present
myself in a businesslike way which is more than can be
said of some of my male colleagues! And I have to say
that, on the whole, they treat me very well. The only way
that I feel Im not treated quite equally, and this amuses
me really, is that I always have the feeling that if I wasnt
there, theyd be a lot less polite in how they spoke. I wish
theyd forget I was a woman, but I guess they just cant!

You hear a student who lives in Manchester talking about

Im really glad I decided to come to Manchester to do my

Im never short of things to do in my free time. Ive made
lots of great friends here, though I guess that wouldve
happened wherever Id gone, because Im a sociable sort
of person. But I dont think Id have got the chance to get
involved in so many interesting projects at a smaller
university. Like, Im volunteering on a project to analyse
the effects of social media in kids in Africa this summer

F: Well, all these things are important, but the thing to
remember is that if the government doesnt spend money
on these things, then private companies will especially
housing.
M: I guess youre right. And I think university education
actually gets a lot less than those other things at the
moment.

We had a burglary last year. I suppose I shouldnt have
been surprised because other houses in the area have
been targeted in recent years. The strange thing is, we
were asleep in bed at the time. I woke up and heard a
noise downstairs. I thought it was one of the kids getting
a drink or something, but went to check just in case. By
the time I got downstairs, whoever it was had gone,
taking my laptop with him. Afterwards the police said he
was probably only inside for a couple of minutes
amazing, isnt it? Anyway, weve got a burglar alarm fitted
now so I dont think itll happen again.
Two
It was bad luck the way I lost my phone. We were on the
beach and decided to go in for a swim. We put all our
phones in one bag with loads of clothes and stuff on top
of them and left it where we could all see it. I mean, none
of us saw anybody go anywhere near the bag, but when
we came out of the water everyones phone was there
except mine. We searched everywhere, but itd gone. I
went to the police, but they werent much help. They said
it happens every day and if you leave stuff on the beach
like that, what do you expect?

Like lots of other people, Ive been parking at the station
and getting the train to London every day for years. You

and found the car window smashed. I mean, Id followed

couldnt see why theyd chosen to break into my car, and
nothing was missing. The police were great, they were
there within five minutes, but there was nothing they could

You hear a man talking about his work with animals.
In my job, I get to deal with lots of different animals. I
guess the difference between my work and, say, that of
somebody working in a zoo is that I have a much wider
responsibility. Im not just here to make sure the wild
animals are OK, but also to look after the natural
environment in which they live. I dont generally interfere
with the animals as long as theyre alive and well, I let
nature take its course. Im on the lookout for things like
diseases and other problems that might affect the whole
population, but if an individual animal is sick or injured,
thats not my concern.

You hear a couple discussing solar energy.
M: Im not sure about getting solar panels put on the

sunny the whole time for them to work, but the days are
pretty short here in the winter, arent they?

You hear part of a news item on the radio.
Its been a tough month for farmers with some very
unseasonal weather causing them some real problems. A
certain amount of rainfall is expected in this part of the
country in the summer months, but this year its been
exceptionally dry with just one big storm that didnt
actually produce that much rain. On top of that, some
fierce winds have combined with the dry conditions to
increase soil erosion in the area, which is not good news
at all for farmers. Temperatures, at least, have been
about normal in what has otherwise been quite an
untypical month for weather.
Four
You hear a teacher talking to his class about some
written work.
OK, so lets just talk for a moment about the written
assignment youve got to do this weekend. Remember
that I gave you a list of possible topics last week and
asked you to think about which one youd like to choose.
If anyone wants help with that, Ill be coming round in a
moment, so do ask. Also, I told you that you could do it
either as a report or as an essay and you still have the
choice. But thinking about it, perhaps the report format
would be better with sections under headings rather
than paragraphs. So Id say do that if you havent already
started.

You hear a man talking about a nature reserve he visited.
Id gone walking in the nature reserve because Id been
working too hard and needed some fresh air and
exercise. Its so peaceful there. Suddenly I turned a
corner and came across a big family having a barbecue.
They were making a complete mess plastic bottles
everywhere, kids playing football. I told them they
shouldnt be behaving like that in the nature reserve
that Id report them to the management. They looked a bit
shocked, but took no notice of me. Anyway, back at the
entrance, the manager explained that it was a special
family barbecue day and that poor families from the city
centre had been specifically invited. I felt such a fool.

You hear a tour guide talking to some tourists.
Now, I know youve all heard about the problems weve
been having with biting insects this year its been
widely reported in the press and there was a leaflet in
your welcome pack. Now, Im sure youll all agree that
prevention is better than cure. So, if you do sit outside in
the evening, then please be sure to use some of the
insect repellent that was recommended on the leaflet.
And please do also make sure that you keep the windows
closed in your rooms after dark. You have air
conditioning, and you can control the temperature with
that. Does anyone have any questions?

Test 1
Part 1
Examiner: This is the Cambridge First Certificate in
English Listening test. Practice Test 1. Im going to give
you the instructions for this test. Ill introduce each part of
the test and give you time to look at the questions. At the
start of each piece you will hear this sound:
Youll hear each piece twice. Remember, while youre
listening, write your answers on the question paper. Youll
have 5 minutes at the end of the test to copy your
answers onto the separate answer sheet. Therell now be
a pause. Please ask any questions now, because you
must not speak during the test.
Examiner: Now look at Part 1. You will hear people
talking in eight different situations. For questions 18,
choose the best answer, A, B or C.
Examiner: One
You hear a woman talking.
Woman: Could you show me your finger? Hm. Its swollen
but I think thats probably the insect bite. You might be
slightly allergic to the bites of these particular insects.
This sort of thing is fairly common at this time of year,
and it doesnt look as though its anything serious. Id
suggest applying this cream twice a day and if it doesnt
show any signs of improvement after two days, perhaps
youd better make an appointment to see a doctor. This
cream should stop it itching and reduce the swelling, at
least. If thats all, thatll be one pound ninety, please.
Examiner: Two
You hear a phone conversation.
Woman: Could you help me, please? Id like to enrol for
the summer school course run by the Economics
department and I have to pay a deposit by Friday thats
tomorrow.
Man: Right. Have you filled in the form?
Woman: Ive enrolled online, actually. But the problem is
that my credit card has expired, so I need to know the
best way to pay before the deadline. I could arrange a
bank transfer or pay by cash...
Man: We can accept cash payments but youd have to go
to the accounts office in the main university building for
that. Thats your best bet. A bank transfer takes three
working days to come through.
Woman: Thanks.
Examiner: Three
You hear part of a radio programme.
Speaker: I always like to have lots of salad vegetables,
however, I think the same old lettuce and tomatoes can
get a bit boring. So this is what Im doing this year. In the
greenhouse, Ive planted various types of tomatoes:
some tiny cherry ones, Italian plum, vine and my
favourites, the traditional salad tomato. Here, Ive got six
different varieties of lettuce so that I can make a nice
mixed leaf salad. Then over there, youll see the spring
onions, radishes and herbs. Then in this area, Ive
planted some of those small potatoes that are so good
eaten cold. So, what could be healthier than a fresh
salad made with vegetables freshly picked from your own
back garden?
Examiner: Four
You hear a conversation.
Woman: Look at this! My new white jackets been ruined!
Theres a coffee stain right on the front of it!
Man: Im sure you can get that off. Its only coffee, after
all.
Woman: Ill have to take it to the cleaners and get it
removed professionally. I dont want to make it worse!
Man: Thats probably a good idea. How did it happen,
anyway?
Woman: Thats the worst part. I lent it to my sister for a
wedding. That was my first mistake! Shes so careless. I
should have known something like this would happen.
Man: Then she should pay for getting the stain removed.
Woman: Too right! Ill make sure she pays for that and Im
never going to lend her anything again!
Examiner: Five
You hear a telephone conversation.
Woman: Good morning. Daniel Smart?
Man: Yes, speaking.
Woman: This is Stanton Car Repairs here. We just wanted
to let you know that unfortunately your car wont be ready
for collection until tomorrow afternoon.
Man: Oh, no. Whys that?
Woman: Weve had to order a new part because we
werent able to repair the damaged one.
Man: Does this mean its going to cost more, too?
Woman: Im afraid it will put the price up by about thirty
pounds.
Man: I see. That means I wont have the car tomorrow
morning.
Woman: Im afraid not. Were doing our best. As soon as
the new part arrives, well fit it, but these things take time,
Im afraid.
Man: OK. Well, thanks for letting me know.

Examiner: Six
You hear a conversation about some shoes.
Girl: Hey, those trainers are so cool!
Boy: Do you like them? Theyre the latest design with lowimpact soles so they are really comfortable. Im ever so
pleased with them. They look pretty good, too. I mean I
could wear them with jeans, not just when Im doing
sport.
Girl: How could you afford them? I looked at a similar pair
a while back and when I saw the price, I changed my
mind.
Boy: Youre right, they do cost a fortune. I tried some on
in a sports shop and when I saw the price, I left them
there. I had a look round on the Internet and found these
for half price, A real bargain, I reckon!
Examiner: Seven
Listen to the extract.
Speaker: Whats in an ice core from the Antarctic? Do we
all see colours in the same way? Whats so special about
prime numbers? Come and find out the answers to these
questions and many, many more at the Science Festival

Examiner: Eight
Listen to the conversation at an airport.
Passenger: I just put it down on that table in the caf
there for a minute while I paid for my coffee and when I
looked round it had gone!
Security officer: Can you describe it?
Passenger: Its not very big, blue with a shoulder strap.
Its not new, in fact it looks rather well-used.
Security officer: What was in it?
Passenger: All my travel documents, of course, money,
credit cards and so on. Everything I need for my holiday
and the things I need for the flight face cream, water,
book, that sort of thing.
Security officer: Have you checked in the caf and asked
if its been handed in?
3.B
Part 2
Examiner: Now turn to Part 2. You will hear a short talk
about opportunities for teens to study abroad. For
questions 9-18, complete the sentences with a word or
short phrase. You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2.
Presenter: How would you like to spend a few weeks or
even a year living in a different country?
Today were going to find out about the opportunities
available to the 14 to 18 age group. Susie Gillon has
been doing some research for us. So, Susie, what have
you found?
Susie: First of all, I want to say that theres a lot more out
there than just summer language courses! I think the first
thing you need to do if youre thinking about studying
abroad is to decide whether you want to learn or improve
a foreign language. If you do, the most popular option is
doing a summer course where you focus on language
learning, staying either with a host family or in college
accommodation. Alternatively, you can do an exchange
trip to a country of your choice. There are agencies that
will match you up with someone of your age, who has the
same interests as you. Youll then live with this family and
attend a local school with your exchange friend.
Exchanges like this often work well and can be repeated
for a number of years.
Presenter: OK. Now, what if youre not interested in
improving your language skills, but just want to
experience life in another country?
Susie: As I said, theres a surprisingly wide choice of
options for the under 18s. Heres one that I would have
loved to have done when I was at school: spend the
summer on an exchange trip to Australia or New Zealand.
You live with a family who has a teenager your age and
you go to school together. Remember that in the
southern hemisphere, July and August are winter months,
so schools are open. The great thing about this is that
you wont miss out on any of your schooling, and youll
get to know another way of life.
Presenter: That sounds fantastic, I wish I was back at
school! So thats only for Australia and New Zealand,
then?
Susie: No, there are also programmes in Canada and the
USA, but remember that their long summer holidays are
at the same time as ours, so if you want to attend school
over there, it would mean missing school here. However,
this is allowed and as long as you dont go in an exam
year, it can be arranged.

not only to Africa, but also Latin America, India and Asia.
Volunteers help in primary schools, orphanages and on
community projects. They also learn about the countrys
culture and traditions. There are usually adventure trips to
discover the country as well. As the motto of one
organisation calls it help, learn and explore. Its a great
way to really get to know a country and its people while
at the same time having the support of an organisation to
look after you.

Part 3
Examiner: Now turn to Part 3. You will hear five different
people talking about celebrations. For questions 19-23,
choose from the list A-H what each speaker says. Use the
letters only once. There are three extra letters which you
do not need to use. You now have 30 seconds to look at
Part 3.
Examiner: Speaker 1
Speaker 1: In my family, theres only one way of
celebrating and thats with a family meal. It doesnt
matter if its a birthday, anniversary, wedding or passing
a driving test, at some point in the proceedings therell be

Examiner: Speaker 5
Speaker 5: The most recent celebration Ive been to was
with some colleagues from work. My team had just come
to the end of a very intense period of work building up to
winning a contract. We were all exhausted, but delighted
with the result, of course. Wed been working really long
hours, so we decided to go away to the coast for a
couple of days. I wasnt at all sure how wed all get on
outside the work environment and had dreaded non-stop
talk about business, but in the end it was good fun. No
one mentioned work and we spent a lot of time outside in
the fresh air. It turned out to be a good way to celebrate.
5.B
Part 4
Examiner: Now turn to Part 4. You will hear two people
discussing an environmental problem caused by plastic.
For questions 24-30, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
You now have 1 minute to look at Part 4.
Girl: Thats incredible. Listen to this! Do you know that in
the Pacific Ocean there are millions of tonnes of plastic
floating around? The Ocean currents have brought all the
pieces of plastic together to the same area, which they
call a garbage patch. Have you heard about this?
Boy: No, I dont think I have. What else does it say?
Girl: Scientists have been monitoring the situation for the
past forty years and apparently the size of the garbage
patch has increased one hundred times and now covers
an area twice the size of France! They also reckon
another two garbage patches are forming in the North
and South Atlantic.
Boy: So you mean, all those plastic containers and
bottles that end up in the sea travel along the ocean
currents and end up in one place?
Girl: Yes, thats right. Look at this map. See, the garbage
patch is right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, between
Asia and the USA, not far from Hawaii.
Boy: I see. Actually, I remember hearing about something
similar. A cargo of plastic toy ducks fell into the sea but
stayed together and floated round the world. In fact, I
think scientists monitored their movements to help them
understand ocean currents better.
Girl: Yes, I remember something about that. But the thing
that worries me most here is the pollution that plastic
causes.
Boy: Quite. Something like this is a real hazard for the
sea and wildlife. Cant they do anything about these
garbage patches?

Examiner: One
You hear part of a lesson.
Speaker: Its important to know something about the
social background of the time because it allows you to
put Mackays work into context. His surroundings were an
important influence. He grew up on a remote island in the
Outer Hebrides. His life there would have been very
difficult and the weather would have affected the way he
lived, this is why its a constant theme in his work.
However, remember that his home was surrounded by
magnificent scenery and he spent much of his time out
in the open air. He lived in a very isolated community
there were only about thirty people living on the island at
this time. Some of his finest poetry was written during his
teenage years on the island.
Examiner: Two
You overhear two people discussing a party.
Girl: Weve got to do something really special this year.
Something a bit different from all the other years.
Boy: Definitely I mean its a once in a lifetime occasion!
Girl: Do you think we should accept Liams offer of
holding it at his house? Hes got plenty of room and we
could even go outside if its nice.
Boy: Well, its that or hiring the church hall, unless we
want to have it at school...
Girl: No, I dont think so. I mean theres the official
end-of-year ceremony with all the staff. This is meant to
be fun no adults, just our class and friends.
Boy: Youre right. I think we need to have a meeting with
everyone and work something out together.
Examiner: Three
You hear a boy talking about a school trip.
Boy: I would quite like to go, I suppose it would be fun,
but I have already been there twice. Admittedly, the first
time, I spent most of the time sitting in the hotel because
I twisted my ankle and it was really swollen and painful to
walk but its a lovely place. The thing is, my dads lost
his job and moneys a bit tight at the moment. I dont
really want to ask my parents to pay for things that arent
really essential. I could save up myself, but Id rather use
my money for the summer holidays, so thats why Im
going to give it a miss this year. Theres always next year!
Examiner: Four
You hear about a competition on the radio.
Speaker: Now heres something for all you Uncut
Diamond fans out there. Weve got twenty tickets to give
away absolutely free for the concert in the AZ Arena on
May 10th. During the week of 21st to 26th April, well be
giving away four tickets every day from Monday to Friday.

chance to win one of our free tickets.
Examiner: Five
You hear a mother talking to her son.
Mum: Well, its a pass, I suppose just. Im sure you
could have got a better mark, though, if youd done a bit
more revision and paid more attention in class.
Boy: Yes, but its difficult stuff and I do listen during
lessons most of the time.
Mum: Im sure it isnt easy, but I still think you could do
better. You need to make more of an effort. Youre a
bright boy and if you put your mind to it, you could do
really well, couldnt you?
Boy: I suppose so.
Mum: Well, come on then! If you spend a bit more time
on your homework, youll do really well in the exams and
youll feel proud of yourself!
Examiner: Six
You hear two people talking about a recent incident.
Girl: It was on Saturday evening when we came out of
the club. Id arranged for my dad to pick me up in the
central car park like he always does, but Millys mum was
nowhere to be seen. Milly tried to phone her but her
phone was off.
Boy: So what did you do?
Girl: We told my dad, but Milly was really worried about
her mum because she hadnt been feeling well earlier in

Part 2
Examiner: Now turn to Part 2. You will hear an extract
from a radio programme about bread. For questions 9-18,
complete the sentences with a word or short phrase. You
now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2.
Presenter: Who doesnt enjoy a slice of freshly-baked
bread? Its high on my list of favourite foods. Bread is one
of our most basic foods nearly every culture round the
world makes a type of bread. Bread can vary widely from
country to country, the shape and ingredients change but
it is probably the one food that is common to all mankind.
Asian bread tends to be soft and fluffy, German
pumpernickel is heavy and dark, Indian naan bread is flat
and round the variety is infinite!
Mary: Not at all. I know most people think it is, but its far
easier than making a cake. You just need to remember
two things: bread likes to be kept warm. If you want your
loaf to rise and be light and crisp, you must leave it in a
warm place, and secondly, you have to allow it plenty of
time. But that doesnt mean itll take up a lot of your time.
You can mix the dough and then leave it in a warm place
and go off and do something else.
Presenter: How long can you leave it?
Mary: That depends on the temperature of the room and
type of mixture, but from between one and four hours, or
even overnight. Then, when its well-risen, you shape it
into rolls or loaves, put it in baking tins and leave it again
until it is nice and risen. So once again, while its rising,
you can go out and do something else. It needs to be

Part 4.
Presenter: Tonights guest is Tess Ashton who, at the age
of 17, has just finished paddling her way round the coast
of Ireland as part of a trio of kayaks. Not only did they
manage to complete the trip in close to record time but
they have also raised nearly ten thousand pounds for
charity. Tell us how it all started, Tess.
Tess: We got our original idea from a talk given by a man
