F: I’m so happy I went with you on the camping trip.
M: We really enjoyed it, didn’t we? (11) I loved swimming in the lake. I didn’t even mind that we didn’t go windsurfing. Maybe next time we can go fishing too.
F: Yeah, (12) I wasn’t sure I was going to like camping but now I know how exciting it is. It makes me unhappy thinking we didn’t do it sooner.
M: I knew you’d love it. Wasn’t it fun having barbecues? And the day we bought fish and fried it? Amazing!
F: (13) But having egg for breakfast every day was a bit boring.
M: Yeah, we should think of something else next time. (14) And you should remember to pack a jacket and a sweater too. I was afraid you’d catch a cold.
F: It’s ok. I always take some medicine with us just to be sure.
M: (15) I know but how would you sing when we were around the fire if you were sick? What a special night, even better than the day we swam in the lake.
F: I loved the long walks we went on in the countryside.
M: They were OK.
F: I can’t wait to do it again!

16 You will hear a woman talking to her friend about her new car. Why did she sell her last car?
M: So, you’ve got a new car, Susan?
F: Yeah, do you like it?
M: It’s great!
F: Thanks! I was always late with my old car. It kept breaking down. I had it for 14 years.
M: And you always had to repair it, didn’t you?
F: Yeah. I really needed something newer.
17 You will hear two friends talking about the man’s future plans. What is the man going to do?
F: So do you think you’ve decided?
M: I loved football at school, but it isn’t useful for job searching. I’ve always dreamt of living in Spain and my friend Luis told me there are quite a few jobs there. So I guess knowing Spanish will help a lot. I even thought about going back to university but I couldn’t find anything I really liked.
18 You will hear a couple talking about a video. What’s the video of?
F: Look how happy Lindsay is. They are jumping into the pool and laughing…
M: Look, she’s racing with Sam to get to the cake first…
F: She really enjoyed it. I can’t believe she’s 12 already. Remember the summer in Italy? Well, I didn’t think we could have a better time than that.
M: But we certainly did.
19 You will hear a woman calling a friend. What’s her problem?
F: I feel awful! I got stuck in traffic. There are no buses today. I couldn’t find Harry’s phone number so I’m calling you. Do you happen to know if there’s any other way to his house? Oxford Street is too busy and I’m afraid I’ll get lost if I turn into Madison Road. Please start without me. Call me back, will you?
20 You will hear a woman talking to her friend about a present. What did she get?
M: Did you get anything nice for your birthday, Mia?
F: Well, John got me the best present this year. We’re going over to his parents’ house tonight. His whole family is going to be there. I think he’s going to give me a ring. Anyway, look…
M: Oh, that’s lovely! Dresses always look great on you!
F: He knows what colour I like and it matches my favourite boots.
