Becky: Hi, Chris. Hows your new flat?

Chris: Hi, Becky. Its OK but Ihave to share aroom. Mikes
OK but sometimes Id like to be on my own.
Becky: Really? Iget lonely when my family are out. Hey!
Hows thehousework?
Chris: Not bad. Each week, we have different duties. So, this
week, Ive got to do thecooking and washing up.
Becky: Thats great. My parents should do that with my
brother. Do you both do what youre supposed to?
Chris: Yes, but Ihave to tell Mike several times. This week he
has to clean thebathroom.
Becky: And?
Chris: Well, Iwouldnt come round for abath if Iwere you!
Becky: Right! Where is theflat?
Chris: Its on theoutskirts of thetown, by theold car factory.
Becky: You dont live there, do you? Thats aterrible area!
Chris: What do you expect? Im astudent. Anyway, are you
going to move out?
Becky: I dont think so, no. Ieven felt homesick on school
trips. Im going to stay at home for afew more years
and save as much as possible. Then Ill use themoney
as adeposit and buy somewhere of my own and not
out by theold car factory! What about you? Are you
going to buy aplace to live?
Chris: Ive never thought about it. Iwant to go abroad when
Ifinish my studies. Thats as far forward as Im thinking

immediately. Chemistry can be afascinating subject
but only if you take care. OK. Open your books and
write this down
TWO
Speaker: I know you try hard but, if you dont mind me saying
so, Ithink youd do better just by organising your
studies more effectively. If Iwere you, Id take aday
off today and make arevision timetable. If you
follow it, youll know that you are prepared when
theexams come along. Make sure you plan some
breaks, too. You have to relax sometimes!
THREE
Speaker: I feel very strange today. Its thefirst day of thenew
school year and here Iam on my way to thebeach
with my friends, driving slowly past theschool
gates. Isaw Mrs Taylor, my old History teacher,
earlier. She didnt smile. Perhaps shes forgotten me
already. Im so glad that university doesnt start until
October. The weather is too good for studying!
FOUR
Speaker: Good afternoon. Thank you for coming. As you
know, theschool is planning some major changes
for thenext school year. One idea that we would
like to introduce is to allow girl students for thefirst
time in our history. Of course, we would like to hear
your opinions on this as it will be your sons who are
affected by any change.
FIVE
Speaker: I hate Mondays. We start with double Physics and
then have Maths, English, French and double
History. Im always tired after theweekend and Ijust
dont understand Physics at all. Thats why Im here,
playing truant. Ill go in at half past ten. Mr Taylor,
theMaths teacher is also my form teacher. Icant
skip his classes.

THREE
Speaker: Brothers and sisters. We have put up with falling
living standards for anumber of years. We have
taken on extra duties and we have seen our friends
and colleagues lose their jobs. However, this
latest offer is thelast straw. Aone percent rise in
wages whilst our shifts are increased by anhour
aday? Weurge you to vote against this offer and
to consider going on strike unless we get what we
demand.

Young man: I dont know how Im going to find ajob when
Igraduate. How did you do it?
Woman: When Ileft university, Imoved to London.
Iapplied for hundreds of jobs.
Young man: How did you survive?
Woman: I signed on at ajob agency. When Ihad
interviews, Icould choose not to work but apart
from that Iwas sent all over London and did
everything from cleaning to secretarial work.
Young man: So, it was agood experience?
Woman: Definitely. Ithink it was therange of jobs on
my CV which caught theeye of my current
employer.
Track 6
Max: Jess. Can you do me afavour?

Jess: What?
Max: Ive got adate with Kelly this evening. Could you walk
thedog for me? Iwant to get ready and make myself
look nice.
Jess: You? Im theone who spends half their life in
thebathroom, not you!
Max: Well, this is special. How about it?
Jess: What do Iget?
Max: What do you suggest?
Jess: OK, you look after Dan on Friday when mum and dad
go out. Ihate babysitting.
Max: On Friday? No way. Ialways meet my friends on
Fridays.
Jess: I thought you said it was up to me!
Max: Ill babysit on Saturday.
Jess: Er, Max. Its your turn on Saturday. Mum and dad are
going to thetheatre and Im going to aparty. If you
want me to help you today, youll have to help me.
Max: But, ahalf hour dog walk for four hours babysitting.
Thats not fair!
Jess: OK. My last offer. You take thedog for awalk every
day next week. Morning and evening, whatever
theweather.
Max: (reluctantly) OK, its adeal. Just wait until you want me
to do you afavour.
Jess: I did, last month, remember. Iwanted to borrow your
old hat for afancy dress party. You never wear it but
you didnt let me.
Max: I love that hat! It was apresent from Nicole.
Jess: Sylvia.
Max: Alright, Sylvia. But it was apresent. Anyway, lets not
have arow now. The dog wants to go out and Ive got
to get ready for my date.
Track 7
Anna: Paul, what shall we prepare for themeal on Saturday?

How about something traditional like aleg of lamb or
aroast chicken?
Paul: Well, Im sure theyd love both but, if Iwas going to
eat at someones house, Id like to try something that
Ive never eaten before.
Anna: Yes, but you eat anything! Iremember that octopus
you had in Greece. Yuk!
Paul: It was gorgeous. How can you say Yuk. You didnt
even try it!
Anna: Well, it looked awful.
Paul: Anyway, Iwasnt suggesting octopus. Ihave no idea
how to cook it or even if you can buy it here. Iwas
thinking of acurry.
Anna: (happier) Oh right. The supermarket has got anice
selection of sauces in jars. Ilike theKorma sauce. It
isnt too hot and its lovely and creamy and very tasty.
Paul: No! Not out of ajar. Iwas looking at some recipes
on theInternet. Here, look. We need ginger, curry
powder, chilli, cu
Anna: Wait aminute. Im sure these spices are all lovely but
Ive never even heard of some of them.
Paul: The Indian grocer sells all of them.
Anna: But it will take ages. Youll be in thekitchen all
Saturday.
Paul: No, Iwont. Ill prepare everything thenight before
and let theflavours get into themeat. On Saturday, we
just need to heat it up and cook some rice. So, Ill be
free to chat and
Anna: Vacuum thefloor and clean thebathroom.
Paul: Oh, right. Yes. Great.
Track 8
ONE FIVE
Speaker: I was at thenew shopping centre on Friday. Can Speaker: Hi, Mum. Its Jessie here. Mum, Ive just finished
you put your head back abit? Lovely. There are work. We had atraining session which was quite
so many shops. There are cafes and cinemas. Oh, interesting. Anyway, Icame to theshopping centre

Just let me put some spray on it before you go out Istay here or come home? What if my card comes
into thewind and rain. out again and someone else gets it. Please ring
back when you can.
TWO
Speaker: Im not against advertising but sometimes they go
too far. Thats why wed like you to sign this petition
against adverts during childrens TV programmes.
Its unfair on children because they cant get what
they see and its unfair on parents because there is
so much pressure on them to buy things. It wouldnt
be so bad if thethings being advertised were
books or healthy food but they never are. So, can
we count on your support? Will you sign this?
THREE
Speaker: I was in theshopping centre this morning and when
Itried to use my credit card, theshop assistant
said that it was stolen. Itried to phone your
customer service number but no-one answered
and thepolice came to question me. Ihavent
reported it stolen. What if Id been on holiday in
aforeign country? Im very unhappy with what has
happened and Ithink Ideserve anexplanation and
anapology.
FOUR
Speaker: Hi. Let me help you. First of all, press this button.
Thats right. Now you can start. Put thefirst
packet here and make sure thebar code is facing
down. When you hear thebeep, you will see
theprice information on thescreen and you can
put thepacket over here. If you need to weigh
some fruit or vegetables or if you have any other
problems, please call me. Ill be here somewhere.
Iknow it all seems abit complicated to start with
but its better than queuing, isnt it?

there any security in this airport?
TWO
Speaker 1: Hi. Where are you going?
Speaker 2: Exeter.
Speaker 1: I can take you as far as Dorchester.
Speaker 2: Great. Thanks. Its good to find someone who
will stop. Ive been here for three hours. Inearly
caught thebus but Im glad Iwaited.
Speaker 1: I used to do thesame when Iwas young.
Icouldnt afford train tickets.
Speaker 2: Really? Icould go by train but Ifind people who
stop to give lifts so more interesting.
Speaker 1: Dont your parents worry about you?
Speaker 2: A little but Iused to have amotorbike so, in their
opinion, anything is better than that!
THREE
Speaker: I work in London but Ihave to commute. Iget up
at half past six and catch the7.15 train. It only takes
forty-five minutes but there are never any free
seats. When we get to London there is amad rush
for theunderground. Thats even more crowded.
Id like to walk but its too far. Luckily, Ihave time
before work to have acoffee and relax. At theend
of theday, Isometimes go out with my colleagues.
Then Ican go home on aquieter train.
FOUR
Speaker: I went to Morocco from Spain. On theboat, Ihad to
queue for animmigration card. It was aboring way
to spend thejourney. Luckily, someone told me to
get anexit card too. When Icame back, there was
abig queue to leave Morocco. Some people hadnt
got exit cards. When they finally reached thefront
of thequeue, they had to go and get one. They
argued angrily but couldnt get past theofficials.
Iwas very relieved to have my card. Some of them
missed theferry thelast one of theday!
Track 10
Lisa: I went to see The Fourth World last night.

Mike: Oh yes? What did you think?
Lisa: Well, Iwas abit confused actually. There were too
many characters and Ididnt understand theending.
Have you seen it?
Mike: No, but Ive read thebook. Iknow what you mean.
Ihad to read it twice before Iunderstood what was
going on. Ican lend it to you if you like.
Lisa: Id love to but Ireally havent got time at themoment.
Im in aplay at school and every spare moment is
taken up with rehearsals and learning my lines. Ifelt
guilty about going to thecinema yesterday.
Mike: What play is it?
Lisa: 'Macbeth'.
Mike: Are you playing Lady Macbeth?
Lisa: No, Im one of thewitches.
Mike: (laughs) Great casting! Imust come and see it. When
is it on?
Lisa: In June, at theend of theschool year if were
ready. The boy playing Macbeth has dropped out.
The teacher who is directing theplay is too strict and
critical. She destroyed his confidence. Shes thesame
with all of us.
Mike: You should have ameeting with her and tell her. Shes
probably more nervous than you are and doesnt
realise.
Lisa: Thats not abad idea. Ithink Ill suggest it to therest
of thecast. Idont get it. Shes areally nice teacher
usually.
Mike: Well, Id better be going. Our band needs anew
drummer and were interviewing someone in afew
minutes.
Lisa: Good luck. Ihope he or she is good.
Mike: Thanks. All thebest with theplay too.
Track 11
ONE
Speaker: The match has finished and theplayers are still
arguing with thereferee. Hes warning them
that they can still get ared card. Here in theTV
studios, we can see theincident from different
angles and we can see that theplayer dived
but thereferee cant see that. He has to make
animmediate decision. Hes wrong but its not his
fault. Unfortunately, professional players sometimes
forget therules of fair play.
TWO
Speaker: I cant believe it. Ihave never run so fast in my life.
Iwas thinking of giving up sprinting and taking up
something else but now Im going to concentrate
on the100 metres and the200 metres. Imight even
turn professional one day. The best thing is not that
Ifinished first but that my time was thefastest ever
by someone from this school. Im famous!
THREE
Speaker: When people take up tennis, they soon learn how
to hit theball over thenet. They can get quite
good. Thats why they are so critical of professionals
who make mistakes. They think we should be
perfect. Itrain for hours every day, Im thethird
best player in theworld but Im still human. The
atmosphere in thestadium affects me. Some days
Im just not feeling ahundred per cent. People
should be more understanding.
FOUR
Speaker: Running amarathon is agreat feeling. Itook up
running about twenty years ago and Ive been in
many marathons. Im not aprofessional runner but
Ilove it. However, while Iwould recommend it to
anyone, it is important to take care. People have
collapsed and even died after races. You must do
alot of training first, starting with shorter distances,
and you should also have acheck up to make sure
you are fit enough to take part.
FIVE
Speaker: I played football for many years until my knees
started hurting too much. Since Igave up, Ihave
tried to find something else Icould do. Last week,
Ibought aset of golf clubs and went out to play.
It was great. Ilove it. Ive been twice now although
Im not very good. Ithink Imight have broken
arecord for thenumber of balls lost!

Mum: Thats areal shame. Ibought your favourite chocolate

Boy: Well, actually, Im not THAT bad!
THREE
Speaker: When Iwas in Greece, Iwas bitten by aspider. It
hurt but Ive been stung and bitten several times in
my life without any problems so Iignored it. Iwoke
up in agony. My arm was very swollen. Iput on
some ointment and took apainkiller. Iwas insured
but Ididnt want to spend my last day of holiday
in ahospital waiting room. When Igot back to
England, my doctor gave me some injections and
now, three months later, theres just asmall red spot
to remind me of it.
FOUR
Speaker: What should you do if you feel ill at theweekend
but it isnt anything too serious? Most clinics
only open from Monday to Friday. You could go
to anemergency clinic and try to see adifferent
doctor, although it is often impossible because
of thewaiting lists. You could go to ahospital but
thequeues are even worse there. In my opinion,
thebest thing to do is to go to achemists, where
you wont have to wait too long, and ask for some
non-prescription medicine. Then spend therest of
theweekend in bed.
Track 13
ONE FIVE
Speaker: Now, Idont know if any of you have been here Speaker: Nigel, its Max. Stop watching the television. This is
before but, in these rooms, you will be able to see important. Do you remember theCDs we tried to

TWO Come quickly and let me show you.
Speaker: Youve seen theSMART computerized fridge
monitor on TV and now you can buy one. The
monitor sends warnings to your computer or
mobile phone when you start to run out of food in
your fridge. The SMART monitor is easier to use
than other monitors, it has more functions and it is
cheaper. In fact, it makes other fridge monitors look
like museum exhibits. Available online or from all
good electronic shops.
THREE
Speaker: I bought this interactive whiteboard from you last
month. Its been nothing but trouble ever since.
My lessons have been anightmare as it keeps
breaking down and thechildren get restless. In
your advertisement, you said Icould change it for
abetter model for free if Ihad any problems with
it but your assistant has just told me that Icant.
Either you honour our agreement or Iwill contact
theTV show Consumer Affairs.
FOUR
Speaker: The DynaTAC mobile phone was thefirst to be
made commercially available. It was 25 cm tall,
not including its antenna, and it weighed 790g.
As you can see, it wasnt very mobile. The battery
only allowed thirty minutes of talking time before
it needed to be charged and theprice? The cost,
in 1983, was anastonishing $3995. On todays
programme, we are going to look at theorigins of
themobile phone, which can be traced back much
further, to Germany in 1918.
Track 14
Man: Another expensive electricity bill!

Woman: We should get solar panels fitted to theroof.
Man: Its not sunny enough here. Anyway, they would
cost afortune.
Woman: They dont have to be expensive and they are more
efficient than you think. They work quite well even
when it is cloudy.
Man: And what about thecost? Ten thousand pounds or
more, Iwould imagine.
Woman: Well, Ive read about acompany that gives you
thepanels and puts them up for free.
Man: Impossible!
Woman: No, it isnt. Look, Ill show you thewebsite. See.
Theyve already fitted panels on over 25,000 homes
in Britain.
Man: But why would they do that?
Woman: Well, thegovernment wants us all to move away
from using fossil fuels, right. So, they pay people to
produce electricity from solar panels. So, you get
free electricity for your own use and, if you generate
more electricity than you need, you can sell it back
to thegovernment.
Man: What acrazy idea! But Istill dont understand why
acompany would give us free solar panels.
Woman: They get themoney from theextra electricity. After
afew years, it pays for thepanels and, after that,
they earn money.
Man: I see. So we wouldnt earn anything ourselves?
Woman: No, but wed have much lower bills. For nothing.
Man: Right. Lets phone them and ask them to put
thepanels up.
Track 15
ONE
Speaker: The promises this government made before
theelection were completely untrue. Wages are
falling, taxes are going up and unemployment is at
arecord high. This has led to anincrease in crime
and attacks on immigrants who are being unfairly
blamed for these problems. Thats why we are
calling on all our members to come out on strike
next Friday to show our leaders that we have had
enough!
TWO
Speaker: Many people are worried about rising crime rates
and that is understandable. However, we are
winning thebattle. Last year, we made more arrests
than ever before but not because crime rates are
going up but because we are now able to find
criminals more easily using scientific advances.
THREE
Speaker: We have seen people lose their jobs. We have seen
huge numbers of immigrants taking thejobs of
our own citizens. We have seen homelessness and
increases in crimes. The party in power have done
nothing for thepeople of this country but we will.
Vote for us, vote for abetter future.
FOUR
Speaker: Ladies and gentlemen. You have heard
theevidence. You know that Mr Engleton has been
in prison before. However, you have also heard two
alibis. Im sure you will agree that it would be very
unfair to find someone guilty and sentence them to
time in prison for acrime that we cant be sure they
committed.
FIVE
Speaker: I am very happy here. Since Iarrived, Ihave found
aplace to live, Ihave got ajob and Ihave made
many friends. Imiss my home country but Iam
determined to make asuccess of my new life. My
only worry is for thesafety of my wife and children.
There are too many burglaries and thefts here.

Cathy: Not too bad. It was difficult but we all knew it would

nothing can stop me now, not even bad marks.

Speaker: Today was my first day with ajob agency. Iwas sent
to ahotel and my job was to wash dishes and to
tidy up therestaurant after meals. It was surprisingly
enjoyable and Iworked hard and learned quickly.
Ithink Iwas agood advert for theagency because
thewoman who trained me said Iwas thebest
worker theyd had all year. Im going back there
tomorrow. Great!
TWO
Speaker: I used to work in anoffice, training new staff
and showing them around. Last month, though,
my manager told me Iwasnt needed anymore.
Icouldnt believe it. Ididnt want to be unemployed
so Isigned on with ajob agency. Its better than
nothing but Idont like going to different places
every day. Inever get to know anyone and its tiring
having to learn new things every day.
THREE
Speaker: Our company uses alot of agency workers. Its
good in away because when we need people
we can get them and when we dont need them,
no-one loses their job. The agency just sends them
somewhere else. The main problem is that every
day there is someone new who Ihave to show what
to do. Its exhausting because there are always
afew problems to sort out.
FOUR
Speaker: If you are young, flexible and havent yet decided
on apermanent career, then it may be agood
idea not to look for afull-time job. Working for
anemployment agency offers several benefits.
Firstly, variety. It can be boring and tiring doing
thesame thing every day. Doing different things
keeps you fresh and interested and, of course, you
can never be made unemployed. Just choose your
agency carefully. Some are better than others.

life. They can borrow money for their course fees,
which they dont have to pay back until they are
earning agood income, but other costs have to
be paid for. That means asking parents or bank
managers for help. Even with apart-time or
asummer job, it can be difficult to survive.
Presenter: I went to college in theeighties and Iremember
it being hard but not impossible.
Cathy: Thats true but things are different. You had
free education and money to live on. You
probably were able to get unemployment
benefit in theholidays. Iknow that those days
are never going to come back. Public opinion
wouldnt allow it and, although Idisagree with
thearguments, Iunderstand why people think
theway that they do. Also, accommodation was
much cheaper thirty years ago and all first years
were guaranteed aroom in halls of residence for
afraction of thecost of renting ahouse or flat.
Holiday jobs are harder to find, nowadays, too.
Presenter: Can students do anything to make their situation
better?
Cathy: Well, Idont want you to think Im blaming
students but, yes, they could make savings. One
thing would be to think carefully about where
to study. Living at home isnt perfect but it does
save alot of money. People should also consider
thecourse they choose and how helpful it will be
in thefuture. When education was free, you could
study something just because it was interesting.
Thats not really anoption anymore.
Presenter: Can parents help?
Cathy: Well, Ithink alot of parents do but, even if they
give 5,000 ayear, which would be very difficult
for many people, their child would still need
another five or ten thousand ayear. In other ways,
everyone can help. It is important for children
to learn to cook healthily on abudget and to
manage their finances.
Presenter: So, being astudent is ahard life nowadays?

Jasons friend: Hi Jason. What are you up to?
Jason: Nothing much. Just surfing theinternet as
always. Iwas on honest trailers dot com.
Jasons friend: Whats that?
Jason: They take popular films, for example
thelatest James Bond or theTwilight series,
and make atrailer that shows all theworst
aspects of thefilm. You know thevoice that
trailers always have. From aterrible book
comes aneven worse film Theyre really
hilarious. The Twilight one is excellent.
Jasons friend: I enjoyed part 1 of that. Ive never seen
theother parts. Imight rent theDVDs.
Jason: Watch thehonest trailer and youll definitely
change your mind!
TWO
Speaker: There are more and more supermarkets and they
are all involved in adesperate fight for customers.
Thats why, wherever you shop, youll see posters
advertising thelatest bargains and discounts. These
take different forms but they dont always save us
money. Sometimes they tempt people to buy too
much, which means either throwing things away or
eating too much. They may even call something
abargain when, in fact, it is thesame price or
more than it was before. Our advice is to take
care because, often, theonly people to benefit
from supermarket bargains are thesupermarkets
themselves.
THREE
Speaker: The Millenium Bridge is abeautiful structure, which
crosses theRiver Thames from St Pauls Cathedral
in thenorth to theTate Gallery and Globe Theatre
in thesouth. It was criticised as being awaste of
money when it was built and it will probably always
be known as The Wobbly Bridge. When it opened
on June 10th 2000, it shook so much that, after just
two days, it was closed again and remained closed
for two years while engineers worked out how to
solve theproblem and make thebridge completely
safe. Ithink it always was but you know how careful
health and safety officials like to be. People still use
thenickname, and many who havent been on it still
believe it will move in windy weather.

ONE
Speaker: Our new timetable is out and it isnt too bad.
Luckily, my busiest days are when Im free in
theevening. Iwould have been very upset if Id
had to stop going to theatre club on Wednesday
afternoons. Im quite content but Iknow alot
of people who are less satisfied and even some
who have had to choose between two subjects
because they arent able to fit them both into their
timetable. Maybe theteachers should consult us
before they decide what happens when. Im sure it
would be possible.
TWO
Speaker: So, here it is. My new timetable. Well, themost
fortunate thing is that Ican still go to piano lessons
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ihave to say that it
is slightly better than last years timetable. That
was awful. Probably because theteachers allowed
thestudents to be involved in drawing it up,
which meant that it became very disorganised.
Imust admit that thestart to theweek is not
ideal with double Maths, double Physics, double
French, English and History all on Monday. Thats
anightmare of astart to theweek. Ibet they all give
us homework, too.
THREE
Speaker: I think thebest thing about my timetable is that all
theworst subjects are on Monday and Tuesday.
Theyre really busy days but, as aresult, theweek
gets easier and easier as it goes on and we finish
on Friday afternoon with P.E. Last year, we finished
off with Maths and Icould never concentrate.
Unfortunately, thelanguage options, French and
Spanish, are timetabled at thesame time but Ican
do Spanish at school and attend private French
classes in theevenings.
FOUR
Speaker: This timetable is awork of genius. Icouldnt do it.
Weve got so many classes and so many teachers
that Iwould end up having one teacher teaching
two different lessons at thesame time or something
like that. My timetable is nicely balanced with no
really busy days. Inever thought Iwould be able
to choose both Art and Technical Drawing but
thepossibility does exist. Im over themoon about
that. School doesnt finish until four oclock on
aWednesday which means Ill have to practise with
my band on adifferent day but everyones very
flexible so thats no problem.

Jack: Yes, but thats aone or two percent difference in

Fiona: Not necessarily. Lots of players suffer sudden barren
spells. It happens in golf, in tennis, in athletics, in all
sports. Suddenly aplayer loses their ability and then,
just as suddenly, they are back to their best. They
havent been injured, theyve just lost their confidence
for one reason or another.
Jack: I know what you mean. People often say that, in
football, aplayer just needs one goal to give him
back his belief in himself. Often it happens that
theplayer finally scores one and then, in subsequent
matches, finds theback of thenet regularly.
Fiona: You see. So, thats what thepsychologist does. Gives
theplayers confidence. Sports players have always
been so much better than their peers that they
start to believe in their infallibility. Then something
goes wrong and they dont understand why. You

Jack: Oh, Isee. Very good. So, what does he say about

Fiona: Nothing, really. Not real ones anyway. He just says
that theemotional, irrational side of your personality
is your chimpanzee which lives in your brain. You have
to train it because it is stronger than you and can be
dangerous if you allow it to run wild.
Jack: So why didnt players in thepast need psychiatrists?
