Sarah: Hi Tom! Are you going on the trip next month?
Tom: I’m not sure, Sarah. (11) I like the idea of staying on a farm, but not at a campsite.
Sarah: (11) I know. (12) I usually stay in a guest house or hotel when I go on holiday with my parents. But this will be fun!
Tom: I don’t think I want to be with my classmates for a whole week!
Sarah: I think that makes it more interesting, don’t you?
Tom: Maybe. But (13) won’t it be expensive?
Sarah: (13) No. It’ll be really cheap as we’re going in a group. The teachers are lucky. They don’t pay!
Tom: But, what if the weather’s bad?
Sarah: Don’t worry, (14) it’s summer now. It’s not winter or spring, when it usually rains! I have heard the weather will be sunny these days.
Tom: So, can we cook our own food on a fire outdoors?
Sarah: Unfortunately, we aren’t allowed to.
Tom: Why not?
Sarah: Well, the campsite where we will stay belongs to the farm. So, we aren’t allowed to do what we like.
Tom: So, (15) where will we eat? I don’t suppose there’s a café near there.
Sarah: (15) No! [laughing] We’ll eat in the farm. Some people there will prepare food for us.
Tom: Sounds good! Maybe I will come after all!

16 You will hear two friends talking together. What are they doing?
Boy: Do you see anyone you know in this photo?
Girl: Oh yes! That’s Jane. Doesn’t she look pretty?
Boy: Yes, she does! Oh, there’s Mrs. Lake.
Girl: She isn’t a very nice person, is she? And who’s the man she is standing next to?
Boy: I think that’s Mr. Stone. He’s very popular, isn’t he?
Girl: Yes, but he always makes us study very hard.
17 You will hear a boy talking about a journey. What was his problem?
Boy: I’m very upset. Yesterday I nearly missed my train. I ran to get the train and I got on, just as the doors were closing. But I didn’t have time to get a ticket on the platform. The man collecting tickets didn’t believe me, so I had to pay £80 to the railway company!
18 You will hear two neighbours talking about Mrs. Day. What’s Mrs. Day doing now?
Boy: Can you see Mrs. Day in her garden?
Girl: Oh, yes. She likes to work in her garden.
Boy: I know she likes to plant flowers. But what’s she doing now?
Girl: She’s forgotten to take her key with her again! Look! She’s now climbing through the window to enter her house.
Boy: She’s lucky that she left a window open!
19 You will hear two friends talking. What did the boy do wrong?
Boy: Hi Tracy. How are you?
Girl: Great. I’ve just got back from holiday!
Boy: It’s a pity you missed my party. Did you get my birthday card?
Girl: Only a postcard, actually.
Boy: But I posted it with your postcard to the same address.
Girl: Well, there was an extra stamp on the postcard, so …
Boy: Oh, no! So, I forgot to put a stamp on the birthday card. I must be more careful in future!
20 You will hear two teachers talking about a student. What are they saying about Mandy?
Man: Mandy isn’t doing so well in most of her studies, is she?
Woman: That’s not very unusual.
Man: I suppose she’s a bit busy at the moment.
Woman: Not studying, I think! [laughing]
Man: No, I think she’s started working in a cafe to help her family because her father lost his job last month.
Woman: Oh, no! Sorry, I didn’t know that. What a pity!
