Emma:   Hi Fabio. Did you go to the college fashion show last week?

Fabio:   Hi, Emma! Yes, I did! Did you?

Emma:   Yes, I went with some friends, but I didn’t see you there. Did you go alone?

Fabio:   I was going to go with a friend from college, but he was busy, so I went with my cousin Anna. She’s studying fashion design at university.

Emma:   When did you go? We were there on Sunday.

Fabio:   We actually went twice, once on Friday afternoon and then again on Saturday for the costume show.

Emma:   I missed that one. The children’s fashion show was interesting, but I didn’t like the sports clothes one. My friend Melissa didn’t like it, either. She said it was boring.

Fabio:   That was Anna’s opinion, too, but I thought all the shows were brilliant.

Emma:   There’s another exhibition next month: Beautiful Plastic. I’m making some earrings and a necklace for it, but people are also making bags, shoes, even clothes. All from plastic.

Fabio:   That sounds interesting. I’ll be there!

16   You will hear a woman shopping for shoes. Which pair of shoes does she buy?

Woman:   Have you got these brown shoes in size 7?

Man:   Only in 6 ½ and 7 ½, I’m afraid. These green ones are similar and we’ve got them in all sizes.

Woman:   What about these black ones?

Man:   We’ve got those in all sizes, too.

Woman:   Black it is. Green shoes don’t go with my clothes and the brown ones aren’t the right size.

Now listen again.

17   You will hear a woman describing something she lost. What did she lose?

Man:   Can you describe it, please?

Woman:   It’s brown leather. New, expensive!

Man:   What was in it?

Woman:   I had my purse in my coat pocket, so no money luckily.

Man:   What about keys?

Woman:   Yes! Keys! I can’t open my suitcase because the keys are in my handbag.

Man:   Anything else?

Woman:   My mobile phone. My passport is in the suitcase, so it’s OK.

Now listen again.

18   You will hear two friends talking. What is Paul going to make?

Woman:   Are you making a cake for the party, Paul?

Paul:   I’ve already made it! I’m just having a quick lunch.

Woman:   Oh. That sounds like a good idea. Anything for me?

Paul:   I thought you didn’t like omelettes!

Woman:   Why not fry the eggs?

Paul:   I’ve mixed them up already!

Now listen again.

19   You will hear a man talking about his holiday to his friend. What animal did he ride?

Woman:   What was it like?

Man:   Fantastic! You’re high up, so it’s scary!

Woman:   Are they friendly?

Man:   Not really, and they smell! But they’re so strong.

Woman:   They have to be – to live in those hot dry places.

Man:   I’ve been on an elephant before, but it wasn’t as difficult as the camel.

Woman:   I think I’ll keep to horses!

Now listen again.

20   You will hear a woman talking to her friend. Why is she upset?

Woman:   …Then the car wouldn’t start, so I called a taxi to Jean’s house. And it was late at night.

Man:   Oh no! Of course you’re upset. And you went all that way! I’m sure it was very expensive!

Woman:   I’ve been having problems with my car, so I wasn’t surprised. The taxi driver was helpful with my luggage, but Jean was out and I had to wait in the rain!
