Katie: This is going to be a busy year, isn’t it?
Harry: Especially for me.
Katie: Oh, I forgot (11) your sister is going to get married in a big city in Italy.
Harry: Yes. (12) I’ll have to fly back to Scotland immediately afterwards. My parents will stay over there for another week and then they will go on holiday in France.
Katie: It’s a shame our exams start so early!
Harry: I know. I may have to study on the plane!
Katie: (13) You always leave things until the last moment, don’t you?
Harry: But I haven’t failed any exams because of it.
Katie: Yes, but you know these exams are important.
Harry: Maybe more for you.
Katie: I suppose so. (13) Anyway I’m not the one who’s going to change school!
Harry: Yes, I’d still like to get good grades anyway.
Katie: Well, (14) I feel worried just talking about exams! I need to do something to help me relax.
Harry: (15) What about coming with me to an after-school club? There’s a film club, a tennis and chess club …
Katie: (15) I’d only be interested in the first. But not if they show old movies!
Harry: Don’t worry, the students choose what films they want to see.
Katie: OK. Sounds great!

16 You will hear a woman and a police officer talking. What is the woman’s problem?
Police Officer: Excuse me, Miss. Have you got a driving licence?
Woman: Yes. It’s in my bag. Wait a minute … Here it is!
Police Officer: Let’s see the date on the licence. Oh … the 12th May this year. That’s only …
Woman: A week ago, yes. That’s when I passed my test.
Police Officer: Take my advice then, Miss. Please stay away from motorways until you’ve had more driving experience. You nearly had an accident.
Woman: Oh, OK officer. Sorry
17 You will hear a teacher talking about some students. What did the students do?
Woman: I spent the whole weekend preparing for a talk and now it’s not needed! It was about what it’s like to work in an office. But plans have changed. The students weren’t interested at all. They decided that it would be better for them to watch a film about careers, instead!
18 You will hear two friends talking. Why didn’t the boy eat Mary’s cake?
Boy: That’s a nice dress, Judy.
Girl: Thanks, Mark. I got it for my birthday last week. But I didn’t tell anyone.
Boy: Why not?
Girl: Actually, I didn’t want Mary to bake a cake.
Boy: I remember when she made one for Greg.
Girl: I nearly broke my fork trying to cut it!
Boy: I just said I wasn’t hungry, so I didn’t have to eat it!
19 You will hear a man talking about his neighbour, Katy. What does Katy want for her son?
Man: I saw Katy yesterday. She seemed a bit worried. I guess she’s worried about her son. He’s very clever but his grades are not good enough for university. He was always more interested in sport than studying. I think Katy wants her son to go to university more than HE does!
20 You will hear two friends talking. Where are they?
Boy: We were lucky to get the last night bus.
Girl: Yes. Especially as there weren’t any taxis around.
Boy: Everyone tries to get them at the same time!
Girl: I think that’s why some people leave before the end of the film. They want to be sure they’ll get a taxi.
Boy: Correct!
