camping trip listening answers

• Camping Trip

Camping Trip Listening Exercise. You will hear Matt and Uncle Jack talking about their camping trip, you have to listen and choose the correct answers to the questions. This provides practice for Listening Part 3 of the A2 Key examination.

Matt: Thank you for taking me camping with you last weekend, Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack: It was great, wasn’t it, Matt? Especially when we went sailing. It was too rough to sail on the sea, but the river was great anyway. Perhaps next time we can try the lake. Matt: Camping was new for me. I was afraid about it on the first night, but the second night was much better and I actually found it very exciting. My sister wasn’t happy as she wanted to come too. Uncle Jack: Maybe she can come next time. The cooking was fun too, most of the time. I don’t know how I managed to burn the sausages, but at least the steak and baked potatoes were tasty. Matt: Yeah, it was a pity about the sausages. What did you think about the campsite? Uncle Jack: I thought the campsite had a good shop to buy food and things, and the whole area was very beautiful, but it needed new showers as it was quite dirty. What activity did you like best? Matt: Well, walking up the hill, was OK, but tough. But the mountain biking was amazing, even more fun than swimming in the lake. Uncle Jack: Yeah, I didn’t know you could swim so well, but you are right about the biking. Absolutely, brilliant. Matt: I can’t wait to go again.

“A Bear-Y Scary Camping Trip”

This lesson is designed to build your critical-thinking skills in English as you read, listen, and answer different types of comprehension and discussion questions.

Pre-Listening Activities

Ask these questions before you listen:

• Have you ever been camping? If so, where did you go, and what did you do?
• What would you need to pack for a camping trip in the mountains?
• Have you ever seen a moose or a bear in the wild? If so, what was your experience like?
• What would you do if you encountered a bear or a moose while hiking or camping?
• Have you ever jumped into a body of water from a high place before? If so, where and what was it like?

Here are other possible pre-listening activities:

• Vocabulary Brainstorming : Have students brainstorm and write down as many words as they can related to camping, mountains, wildlife, and adventure. Encourage them to think about nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
• Anticipation Guide : Provide students with statements related to camping, such as “Camping in the mountains can be dangerous” or “Encountering wildlife can be exciting.” Before listening to the story, ask them to indicate whether they agree or disagree with each statement. Afterward, revisit the statements and discuss any changes in their opinions.
• Discussion Starters : Write several open-ended questions about camping and outdoor adventures on the board. For example, “What is your most memorable camping experience?” or “What challenges do you think people face when camping in the mountains?” Engage students in a brief discussion to activate their prior knowledge and generate interest in the topic.
• KWL Chart : Provide students with a KWL (Know-Want to Know-Learned) chart related to camping in the mountains. In the “Know” column, have them write down what they already know about camping. In the “Want to Know” column, ask them to write questions they have or things they are curious about. After listening to the story, they can complete the “Learned” column with new information they acquired.

Listen and read the story and answer the questions. Key vocabulary words are marked in bold .

One summer, four friends named Josh, Jerry, Lisa, and Kelly decided to go camping in the Utah mountains.

They packed their gear, including tents, sleeping bags, and plenty of food, and set off on their adventure.

After hiking for a few hours, they came across a beautiful waterfall and decided to set up camp nearby. As they were roasting marshmallows over the campfire that night, they heard rustling in the bushes.

“Hey. Did you hear that? Lisa exclaimed with fear in her voice.

Suddenly, a giant moose appeared out of nowhere, and the friends quickly scrambled to their tents to play it safe .

But things only got worse.

The next morning, while they were exploring the nearby woods, they stumbled upon a black bear that began chasing them. 

The friends ran as fast as they could, but the bear was gaining on them.

In a panic, they came across a steep cliff and had nowhere to go, but then, Lisa had an idea. A really terrible idea! She remembered the waterfall they had seen earlier and suggested the wacky idea of jumping off the cliff and into the pool below.

Josh, Jerry, and Kelly thought she was nuts , but they didn’t have any other options.

“Let’s do it!” yelled Josh, so they all jumped, screaming at the top of their lungs. To their surprise, the water was deep enough to break their fall, and they were able to swim to safety.

After catching their breath , the friends realized that they had lost the bear and the moose. They were all relieved and decided to make the best of it and continue their camping trip. 

They explored more of the beautiful mountain scenery and even saw some bighorn sheep grazing in the distance! At the end of their trip, they all agreed that it was a wild adventure, and they were glad they didn’t let the ear and moose spoil their fun.

So, would you have done anything differently if you had been with them on that trip? Think about it.

Verbal (Auditory) : Imagine you are one of the friends who encountered the bear. How do you describe your feelings and actions to a friend who wasn’t there?

Verbal (Auditory) : You are the bear. How do you describe the encounter with the four friends to another animal in the forest?

Hands-on (Kinesthetic) and Verbal (Auditory) : You are a survival expert who has heard about the friends’ encounter with the bear. What advice do you give them to prevent such situations in the future?

Verbal (Auditory) : You are a journalist interviewing the four friends after their camping trip. What questions do you ask to get their perspectives on the adventure?

Verbal (Auditory) : You are one of the friends who jumps off the cliff into the pool below. How do you describe the experience and the decision to jump to someone who wasn’t there?

Hands-on (Kinesthetic) and Verbal (Auditory) : You are a therapist who specializes in adventure-based counseling. How would you work with the four friends to process their experience and build resilience for future outdoor adventures?

More ideas:

Survival Strategies : Have students work in small groups and imagine they are in the same situation as the four friends in the story. Each group must come up with a list of survival strategies that they would use in case they encounter a wild animal while camping.

Map Making : Provide students with a blank map of the area where the story takes place. Have them draw and label important landmarks, such as the waterfall, the cliff, and the campsite. Encourage them to use descriptive language to explain the significance of each location.

Animal Research : Assign each student an animal that is commonly found in the Utah mountains, such as moose, mountain lions, big hornsheep, or black bear. Have them research the animal and present their findings to the class, including facts about its behavior, habitat, and diet.

Alternate Endings : Have students work in pairs or small groups and come up with alternate endings to the story. Encourage them to think creatively and to consider how the characters’ decisions might have affected the outcome.

Survival Skits : Have students create skits that depict different scenarios in which the characters in the story must use their survival skills to overcome obstacles, such as escaping from a dangerous animal or finding food and water.

Mountain Safety Tips : Have students research and compile a list of safety tips for camping in the mountains. Encourage them to think about potential dangers and how to avoid them.

Wildlife Encounter Debate : Divide the class into two groups and have them debate the best course of action when encountering a wild animal while camping. Encourage students to support their arguments with facts and examples.

Nature Writing : Have students write descriptive essays or poems about the natural scenery and wildlife depicted in the story. Encourage them to use sensory language and to reflect on their personal experiences with nature.

Language Game

One classroom language game based on this story is “Word Chain.”

• Divide the class into two teams.
• Choose a starting word related to the story, such as “camping.”
• Team 1 must come up with a word related to camping that starts with the last letter of “camping,” such as “gear.”
• Team 2 must come up with a word related to “gear” that starts with the last letter of “gear,” such as “rope.”
• The game continues until one team cannot think of a word within a set time limit, or a team repeats a word that has already been used.
• The team with the most words at the end of the game wins.

This game can help students practice vocabulary related to camping and the story while also encouraging quick thinking and collaboration within a team.

Different AI technologies, including ChatGPT and an AI voice generator, were used in a collaborative way to prepare the content for this lesson.

R = Rachel; C = Cesar R: Hi, Cesar. How are you? C: Good, thanks, Rachel. I’m fine. I was going to ring you tonight so it’s a good thing I’ve run into you. I wanted to remind you about the field trip – the two day field trip next week. R: What field trip? C: The geography field trip to the Warragamba Dam and the Water treatment Plant. It’s a compulsory part of the first year environmentalScience course. Didn’t you know about it? R: Nol I must have missed that piece of information; this is news to mel But give me the details, please! C: Sure! Well, we have to meet outside the Library next Monday at 7 in the morning or you can meet us at 7:45 at the bus station in time to catch the coach which departs at 8 o’clock . R: Oh, alright. And how long does it take to get to this place? C: Well, once we’re on the coach , it will take about two . Er…, no! Actually more like two and a half hours at that time of day. And it could take as long as three hours to come back the next day because of the evening traffic. R: And what’s the purpose of the trip? C: Didn’t you get the course outline? You don’t seem to know anything about this course! R: Well, remember, I only started at the university a month ago, so I joined the course two weeks late and I’ve been trying to catch up ever since! C: Oh, of course! Well, we spend the first day visiting the dam . I believe we actually go inside the wall of the dam, which is really quite interesting – to see the dam functioning, you know, how much they regulate the water supply each day, depending on how much water is needed downstream in Sydney. R: Oh. OK. And um, so, if this is a two-day trip, where are we staying? Not camping by the dam, I hope! C: No, no. Not camping. They do actually have some overnight cabins near the dam for visiting groups, but we’re spending the night in a youth hostel , in a town nearby. That’s all been arranged by the university. R: And what about meals? Should we take our own food along? C: No, you won’t need to do that. The hostelprovides two meals, breakfast and an evening meal and we can find a cheap place to buy lunch. R: Greatl So, is this the only dam that supplieswater for Sydney? C: There are a couple of others too, but this is the main one. R: Well, with a population of over four and a half million people, I suppose we douse thousands of litres each day. C: Absolutely! In fact, according to my notes here, they pump the water through something like 20,000 kilometres of pipes and canals and store the water in 262 service reservoirs . And each day we use enough water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools. R: And what’s happening on the second day? C: Urn…well, we’re coming back to town and going to the Water Treatment Plant to see how they purify the water for drinking. R: Oh, that should actually be quite interesting. I’ll bring my camera . C: Yes, that’s a good idea because we’re supposed to include original photos for the final piece of work at the end of the course. And make sure you bring a notebook and pen or pencil. R: OK. I’ll do that. C: You’ll probably need some good walking shoes and spare clothes, too. And I would recommend that you bring a waterproof coat of some sort because the chances of it raining are pretty good next week. And a hat, perhaps? R: Sorry, no. I draw the line at a hat! C: Fair enough. And by the way, do you have a mobile phone ? R: I do actually. C: Well, bring that along because that way we can keep in touch more easily. R: Provided that mobiles work up there, of course! C: That’s a point! R: Do I need a map? C: No, I wouldn’t bother. We won’t need to do any map reading. R: OK, then. See you on Monday, and thanks very much for letting me know.

D = Denis; W – Wendy D: Hello, everyone. Welcome again to ‘ Consumer’s Choice ", which is the last in our present series. Isn’t that right, Wendy? W: Yes, that’s right. But we’ll be back again after summer break with a new series well . We’ll tell you more about that later. But, first, in today’s program, we start off with the missing photographs . We’ll tell you a story of Miss Patty Ching, one of our listeners will. We’ll tell you how she has qualified for our ‘Consumer of the Month ’ award with her determination. Denis? D: Thank you, Wendy. Well, Miss Patty Ching went on a holiday to Europe last month. This was her first ever trip abroad and one for which she’d been saving for ten years . Her tour took her around 12 countries in 21 days. And being a keen photographer, she took lots of photographs; 10 rolls of film, to be exact. About 360 photographs . When Patty got back home, she gave all her photos to Top-Class Photo Services for developing. And they vanished . She never saw them again. Of course, she was furious with the company and complained . They apologised and offered her compensation : 10 free rolls of film. This made her even more angry. And she rejected this completely inadequate offer and asked for two thousand dollars . The company refused her request. So Patty wrote them a letter, telling them to pay up in 10 days or she would take them to court. She received no reply. So she did take them to court. But two days before the case was due to be heard, she received a cheque for $2,000. Top- Class had obviously made their minds up on how the judge would decide. Patty’s case provides a lesson to all of us. If we want our rights as consumers , we’ve got to fight for them. So for her determination and spirit we name Patty our ‘Consumer of the Month.’ W: Thank you, Denis. And now I’d like to deal with the problem that many of our listeners write about – sale prices. When we go to a sale and see a sign on something saying 50% off or $300 reduced to 100, how do we know the prices really have been reduced? One of our listeners, Mr Alvin Lok tells his story: ‘In a department store where I sometimes shopped, I saw a leather belt priced at $100, too expensive to me. But I liked it and thought I might buy it next time the store had a sale. The store did have a sale. And I went back to look for the belt. It was there all right, but the ticket on it now read 200 dollars reduced to 150 . The sale price was actually higher than the normal / What can we, as consumers, do in a case like this? The answer to Alvin’s question is that at the moment all we can do is to complain to the store’s management and bring these cases to the attention of the public. Bad publicity might help to put a stop to this dishonest practice. Of course making a fuss about faulty goods or bad service is never easy. Most people dislike making a fuss. But if something you have bought is faulty or does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking for a favour to get it right. It is the shopkeeper’s responsibility to take the complaint seriously and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service, because he is the person with whom you have entered into an agreement. The manufacturer may have a part to play but that comes later. So it’s quite proper and reasonable to make a complaint about faulty goods or bad service. D: Well, Wendy, what do you think is the right way to do that? W: Well, the most important thing about making complaints , I think, is that they should be made to a responsible person in authority. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipts you may have. Ask to see the shop assistant in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner or you can complain directly. In a chain store ask to see the manager. If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry , otherwise you may never find out who dealt with the complaint later. Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain, so if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers , but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article . If you are not satisfied with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organisation . Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive. D: Well, thank you for your good advice. It’s nice for every consumer to take an action when he or she gets bad goods or service. And of course, the Consumer’s Choice will continue to press for the government to bring in laws similar to those in other countries to protect consumers by making it illegal to cheat them in this way. And now I’d like to tell you about our new consumer hotline which came into operation last month. So far we have received…

R = Dr Richardson; D = David Simons [doorbell rings] R: Enter, please. D: Good afternoon, Dr Richardson. R: Good afternoon. You’re David Simons, is that right? . D: Yes. I’ve an appointment to talk about the course requirements with you. R: Fine. Now why don’t you take a seat over there and I’ll just get some details from you. First, can I have your home address and your student number? D: That’s 15 Market Avenue, Hornsby and my student number is C97H85. R: OK. Now I see here that you’ve already completed 18 credit points , but that you haven’t done the Screen Studies course which is normally a prerequisite for this course. Why is that, David? D: Oh, the course coordinator gave me an exemption because I’ve worked for a couple of years in the movie and television business and they considered my practical experience fulfilled the same requirements. R: Fine. Shall we go over the course requirements first, and then you can bring up any queries or problems you might have. It might be most useful to start with a few dates. The final examination will be in the last week of June, that’s the week of the 23rd . But the final date hasn’t been set. It should be the 25th or the 20th . But you don’t have to worry about that yet. Before that, as you can see in your study guide, there are three essay assignments and some set exercises. I’ll deal with these first. T hese set exercises are concerned with defining concepts and key terms. They do have fixed answers not in the wording but in the content. To that extent they are quite mechanical , and provide an opportunity for you to do very well as long as your answers are very specific and clear. D: Yes, I see there are about twenty terms here. How long should the answers be? R: You shouldn’t exceed 250 words for each term. D: Right, that looks easy enough. And the third assignment seems fairly straightforward too. lust a journalistic type review of a recent development in television. It’s not so different from what I’ve done in my work. R: Yes, it should be fairly easy for you, but don’t exceed 1,000 words on that one. Essays 1 and 2 are the long ones. The first essay should be about 2,000 words and the second 2,500 to 3,000, and the approach for both should be analytical . In the first one, your focus should be on TV and the audience, and you should primarily consider the theoretical issues, particularly in relation to trying to understand audience studies. In the second, I’ll want you to focus on analysing television programmes. D: Should I concentrate on one particular type of programme for that? R: Not necessarily. But you must be careful not to overextend yourself here. A comparison between two programmes or even between two channels is fine, or a focus on one type of programme, such as a particular series, works well here. S: So if I wanted to look at television news programmes, that would be OK? ‘ R: Yes, there would be no problem with that. In fact it’s quite a popular choice, and most students handle it very well. S: Good. I’ll probably do that, because it’s the area I want to work in later. Later during the course, Dr Richardson gives David some advice and warnings about his essay. [doorbell rings] R: Ah, come in and sit down, David. You wanted to talk to me about your second essay, is that right? D: Yes, Dr Richardson. I just want your comments on what I’m planning to do. I’m doing the essay on the differences between TV news programs at different hours of the day. R: How many time slots are you planning to consider? D: Well, I think I’d look at all of them. That’d be five slots. The breakfast news, the mid-morning news and the midday news, that’s three. Then there’s the six o'clock news, then ten o’clock and midnight programmes, so that's six, not five. R: Mm, that’s rather a lot. And you’d have a lot of different audiences to consider. Why don’t you just do two. Say the mid-morning and then six o’clock ? That should give you two fairly contrasting approaches with two main audience compositions . D: Oh, just two then? R: Yes, I think that’d be much better. Now how many actual programmes do you plan to work with? D: I suppose you think analysing a whole week of news programmes would be too many. R: Well, that depends on how much of each programme, if you concentrate on one particular type of news item, say the sports news or local items, it might be alright. D: Yes, I can see that would be a good idea. I won’t make a decision now, before I collect a sample of programmes over a whole week. I’ll look at them and see what items appear throughout the week. R: Yes, that’s a sound approach. Now we’re getting close to the deadline. Can you finish it in time? D: Yes, I think so. I’ve completed the reading and I know what my basic approaches, so it’s really just a matter of pulling it all together now. R: Fine, David. I’ll look forward to reading it.

T = Tutor; J = John Upton T: Well, good afternoon. Last week we were looking at the positive effects that computers have had on our society . This week we’ll talk about one of the negatives – computer viruses . In today’s session John Upton will be sharing some of the findings of his research project. So, over to you, John… J: Thanks. Mr Yardley asked me to talk to you about the project I did from last term. Actually, it’s really very rewarding to do this research project about computer viruses. OK. So what is a computer virus? Well, it is a software program that has been designed, tested and released by a human programmer with the single intention of corrupting and destroying useful programmes. Put in simple terms, it’s away of causing lots of trouble for ordinary people, just to be a nuisance ! It’s known as a virus because, although it’s not a biological organism , it functions in a similar way, in that it seeks out a host; that is, a body, in which to live and multiply – your computer – with the end result of destroying that host. Let’s go back 50 years. In 1949 in the early days of computer technology, John Van Neumann presented the first model of a computer virus programme in his paper Theory and organization of Complicated Automata. Soon after this paper was published , we find reference to a game known as ‘Core Wars’. Core Wars was initially created for intellectual entertainment by three Americans working on large mainframe computers. Remember, in those days computers were the size of a couple of rooms. By the 1980s for the small sum of $2 postage anyone could get details on how to play ‘Core Wars’ and very soon after, we see the emergence of a new pastime , one where people spent time creating programs that could escape the game and destroy other programmes. In this way, the first computer viruses were born. Like their biological counterparts, computer viruses are picked up through casual habits. Virus programmes are often intentionally placed within useful programmes in the public domain, or they’re included in software which is not official – that is software you might have acquired on the black market, which, of course you don’t do! It seems quite hard to believe that anyone would go to this level of deceit to intentionally corrupt the data of others, but the rise in the number of computer software infections, and the amount of lost data that we are seeing these days, is proof that these virus programmers are going to extremes to do just that . They are going out of their way to create programmes that hide inside legitimate software applications and cause all sorts of errors that the average end – user will then mistake for hardware failure – in other words they will think that the problem lies with their own computer. So, what can we do to combat these people? Well, the first thing is to realize that virus programmers succeed because people are not always careful about where they get their programmes from. So, number one, be very careful . And I don’t just mean that you should be careful about the source of your software, you also need to take care with e-mails and avoid any messages which are suspicious-looking looking. For instance a message that says ‘I love you1 or ‘win $50’. So the second golden rule is avoid trouble . Now there are other things we can do to protect ourselves. We can try to find out exactly how the viruses work, how they accomplish their aims. In other words, we need to understand them. And, of course, there is a good selection of anti-virus software available on the market now as well as on the Internet to combat the virus plague , so another way of protecting ourselves and our computers is to be well prepared . And before I leave you, let me just say that if you ever run into one of those virus guys , tell them what you think of them!

Audioscripts

M :   I’m surprised that you drove all the way to Liverpool from London.

F :   Well, actually I decided it would be better not to take the car in the end.

M :   Oh really? What made you change your mind?

F :   The train doesn’t get stuck in traffic jams and I didn’t want to be late to meet my husband and kids when they arrived at the harbour.

M :   Where are they travelling from?

F :   They’re coming back from their holiday in Ireland.

M :   What time does their ferry arrive?

F :   Nine o’clock in the morning.

M :   Are we going to the cinema tonight or tomorrow?

F :   It’s tonight we are going! Don’t you remember?

M :   No, but tonight is okay with me. What time shall we leave the house?

F :   Six o’clock, so that we don’t have to hurry.

M :   That gives us a whole hour until the film starts , and it only takes ten minutes to walk to the cinema.

F :   I know, but I thought we could go for a coffee first now that we got my mum to look after the kids.

M :   That’s a good idea. We will also need to buy snacks to take in with us.

M :   Sarah, you’ve got to see this film now showing in the cinema. It’s about this teenage boy who falls in love with his friend’s older sister, who of course has no idea how he feels and treats him like a child. He tries to let her know what his feelings are and you just feel sorry for him because he gets himself into all kinds of embarrassing situations. I laughed till I cried just about all the way through it . It’s on until next week but will be out on DVD next summer. It made me think of our friend James actually.

M :   May I have your attention, please? I am very sorry to announce that all services to London via Birmingham have been cancelled due to a problem with the tracks caused by the cold weather . This includes the express service from Glasgow. If you already have a ticket please go to the ticket desk on the ground floor next to the coffee shop, and we will rebook you on a different rail route. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of passengers, you should expect a delay of several hours.

M :   I’m late for school again! Mum, have you seen my keys?

F :   Aren’t they on the kitchen table where you usually leave them when you get home?

M :   No, I looked, and they aren’t there.

F :   You came in yesterday wearing your coat. Have you had a look in your coat pockets?

M :   Oh yes, it was very cold. They are probably there… Oh! No, they aren’t in any of the pockets.

F :   Well, what’s that in your hand, John?

M :   Oops, sorry mum! They were there all the time!

M :   I wanted to buy Jane a nice blouse for her birthday but I’m not sure what size she is or what colours she likes.

F :   How about buying her a nice long wool scarf instead of a blouse ? Her birthday is in the winter so something warm would be good.

M :   Yes, you’re right . But do you think she’d rather have that than a pair of gloves?

F :   I think so.

M :   Oh, okay then, I will ask my mum to take me to town and buy it today.

F :   Good morning! And now for the weather in your area. After a rainy start this morning, it will get brighter in the afternoon, although it may be a little windy. As the day progresses, there might be some rain in some areas but strong winds from the south overnight will blow away these clouds. When you wake up, all the clouds and rain will have disappeared bringing everyone a very warm day with a lot of sunshine . Join us again this evening after the national news.

8 B   9 A   10 B   11 C   12 A   13 C

M :   So, are you coming on the school environment weekend?

F :   Maybe. But I’ve never been camping before. I’m not sure if I’ll like sleeping outside at night. And then, what if it rains? More than anything, I really don’t like the idea of getting wet . And what about having a shower?

M :   You’ll love it. It’s a great experience. And you don’t have to sleep outside. There are tents and outdoor showers, too. The water warms in the sunshine. It’s great fun!

F :   Hmm… I’m still not convinced. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

M :   Hi. Have you finished revising for the history test? I hate having to learn all these facts. It’s so boring.

F :   Yes. I’m having difficulty learning dates. I have never been able to remember numbers easily . I usually have to record them on my smart phone to listen to and repeat, but my little brother has broken it so I have to get a new one.

M :   That’s a pity. When are you getting a new one?

F :   When I have some time!

M :   Hi! How was your windsurfing lesson? Did you have a great time?

F :   Well, I wasn’t disappointed with the instructor, but I need to start doing more exercise. I’m not strong enough! I couldn’t get the sail back up easily. I felt a bit ashamed when the instructor had to keep helping me. I gave up in the end .

M :   I tried it once and felt really frightened because I’m not a good swimmer. But you have a really healthy lifestyle and you go swimming often.

F :   Look, it’s not a question of fitness; it’s about strength.

F :   Have you seen that new movie ‘ The Red Eye ’? I thought it was really good.

M :   Yes, I saw it last week. To tell you the truth, I found it a bit disappointing. The characters were not very realistic, especially the hero. I don’t think anyone really behaves like that. And the ending was such a disappointment.

F :   Oh, I think it was a great ending. Especially when Emily, who I thought was a really interesting character, decided to go back and save everyone. I kept jumping out of my seat even though I watch thrillers every week .

M :   I have to admit, I did, too!

M :   I went to that new coffee place by the station the other day. Do you know they serve twenty different types of coffee?

F :   I know. They have so many types ! I drank the best iced coffee ever, there. And they also serve snacks. But I thought they were quite expensive for what they were.

M :   Not if you compare them with the place down the road. But I think the service could be better. I waited fifteen minutes and when I did finally get my coffee, it was cold!

F :   Oh. When I went, I didn’t have a problem.

M :   Remember we are going to that new shopping mall this weekend! Let’s go on Saturday afternoon and then we could watch a movie in the Mall’s cinema centre, in the evening.

F :   Shopping is tiring. I’m not sure if I’ll have the energy for a movie after as we have to get the bus home afterwards. Let’s not go this time. We can watch TV at my house.

M :   But what if I ask my parents to pick us up? They will be in the area late in the evening, anyway.

F :   Now, that’s a better plan!

Listening Part 3

Questions 14-19.

For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one or two words or a number or a date or a time .

You will hear a tour guide giving information about an old British house.

Stonebridge House

The house was built in the ( 14 ) ………………… .

The Reynold family lived in the house until ( 15 ) ………………… .

The servants had rooms in the ( 16 ) ………………… .

The art collection is in the ( 17 ) ………………… .

George Reynold was a ( 18 ) ………………… .

George’s brother died in a ( 19 ) ………………… accident.

14 19th century   15 1975   16 attic

17 dining room   18 lawyer   19 horse riding

M :   Good morning everyone and welcome to Stonebridge House. My name is David and I’m your tour guide. ( 14 ) This morning I’m going to show you around this wonderful 19th century house ( 15 ) which was the home of the Reynold family for more than 150 years, until 1975 , when it became a national museum.

We are now standing in the main lobby of the house where you can see the magnificent wooden staircase that leads up to the bedrooms. ( 16 ) The house servants used to sleep in the attic but they would have used a different staircase to this one .

( 17 ) Now, if we go through to the dining room, you will be able to see a fine collection of paintings . George Reynold was a big fan of traditional art as we can see here today. ( 18 ) George came from a military family. Surprisingly, however, he became a lawyer even though his father had wanted him to be an officer in the army. His younger brother also rebelled and became a teacher.

Now the Reynold family is famous for many things, but probably most of all for the many family tragedies. The family has had more than its fair share of early deaths. George’s son Michael died from cancer, his wife died while giving birth to their daughter Emily and ( 19 ) George’s brother had a fatal horse riding accident . George himself always suffered from a weak heart and he died of a heart attack at the age of 52.

Listening Part 4

Questions 20-25.

You will hear a radio interview with an environmentalist called Jane.

20    Jane thinks that people need to

        A   read more news reports.

        B   be more positive.

        C   accept that there is little they can do.

21    What can you do in four weeks, according to Jane?

        A   learn how to recycle

        B   start throwing away useful things

        C   have a new positive habit

22    Which of the following does Jane NOT mention?

        A   turning off the oven

        B   wasting water

        C   charging a phone

23    What does the interviewer suggest?

        A   People should arrange to have fewer bills.

        B   People could save money if they were more careful.

        C   People should spend more money on their house.

24    What does Jane say people should do?

        A   put one or two pounds in the bank every day

        B   go on less expensive holidays

        C   spend less money on energy

25    Jane believes that

        A   young people can make a difference to the planet.

        B   ordinary people can do very little to save the environment.

        C   governments are doing everything that they can.

20 B   21 C   22 A   23 B   24 C   25 A

Int :   Good morning Jane. So today you are going to give us some tips as to how we can all do our bit to protect the environment, aren’t you?

Jane :   That’s right John. There are a lot of reports in the media about how our world is being destroyed and polluted by man and, although this is true, there are certainly many things that we can do to improve this situation. ( 20 ) Amongst all the horror stories, we need to concentrate on the positive things that can be done . That way we can all make sure that the future of the planet is safe.

Int :   So, what can we all do, Jane?

Jane :   First of all, we need to be better at recycling. Most of us do a bit of recycling but we are still throwing away things that can be reused. I think this is because people think it takes time to recycle things properly, but it really doesn’t. Once you get into the habit, you start to do it automatically. ( 21 ) Did you know it takes a month to create a new way of behaving? That’s not just true of being greener, it works for any habit .

Int :   Apart from recycling, what else is important?

Jane :   Well, saving energy in the home is easy to do. For example, why not turn off lights when you are not using a room? ( 22 ) Also, don’t leave mobiles and laptops charging overnight. You can also be more careful with the amount of water you use by having a shower instead of a bath and by not leaving the tap running when you brush your teeth .

Int :   I guess in the end your bills will be cheaper, too, if you do this?

Jane :   ( 23 , 24 ) Exactly. People don’t realise how much money they are throwing away by wasting energy on a daily basis. Imagine if you save one or two pounds every day on energy, that’s hundreds of pounds a year . ( 24 ) You could spend that on a nice holiday .

Int :   But surely it’s up to the government to really make a difference to the environment.

Jane :   The government certainly needs to be more active when it comes to passing laws to protect the planet, but we all need to do our bit. Also, schools and parents must educate their children so that the next generation does better than we have. ( 25 ) From my experience, young people are aware of environmental problems and I think they will be better at saving the planet than we have been .

Int :   Jane, thank you so much for your time today. I’m sure our listeners will pay attention to what you have said and hopefully will be more responsible in future.
