M: Are you excited about London, Sammy?
F: Yes and no. (11) It’s such a pity you have to work.
M: Your sister is going to be with you and that girl from your office.
F: But you could drive us there. (12) Now we’ll be stuck on the train. Too bad going by air was so expensive.
M: So have you booked a room?
F: Yes, at a hotel in the city centre. There’s a bus stop just across the street and the underground’s near. But I still have to find out more about the city.
M: Don’t worry. (13) There are many online London guides.
F: (13) I hope I don’t forget to get one of those. When did you last go to London, Joshua?
M: Just a year ago. Sammy, you’ll love the local dishes and the people. (14) But the sights are amazing.
F: But isn’t it expensive to visit them?
M: If you book before getting there, no. That way you’ll also avoid waiting. London sights get really crowded. (15) But for me, the only thing that can ruin a day in London is rain.
F: Let’s hope for some sun, then.

16 You will hear two friends talking. Where are they?
M: We were so lucky we got these last-minutes tickets.
F: Yeah. But a flight home would be much faster and more comfortable than a train ride. We should have booked earlier, it was too expensive.
M: It could be worse! Last time we had to catch a bus home. It took us 9 hours to get back and we were too tired to go to work the next day.
17 You will hear a woman talking about her friend. What does her friend want?
F: I spoke to my friend Delilah, the doctor, and she seemed a bit worried to me. Her son told her that he was interested in becoming a football player when he finishes school. He’s really good at football and his coach tells him he could play for an important team one day. I guess Delilah always hoped he would like to do what she does.
18 You will hear a police officer talking to a man. What’s the problem?
F: Good morning Sir! May I see your driving licence?
M: Of course. I just got it last month.
F: Well, that explains it. Please stay away from motorways for some time. You almost had an accident back there.
M: But I wasn’t going fast.
F: Going fast is not the only reason why someone may have an accident. Have a good day!
19 You will hear a woman talking to her son about school. What is she telling him?
F: I know after your dad lost his job, you’ve been trying to help us by working in the cafe in the afternoons but I’m really worried about your school work. Your teacher has called us and she wanted us to tell her why you are always so tired. I explained but she said she wasn’t sure you should keep doing this and I think I agree with her.
20 You will hear two colleagues talking at the office. Why is the man tired?
F: Hey Omar, you look really tired. Did you stay up late to finish the talk we had to prepare?
M: Actually, my train was delayed so I didn’t get home until after 10. At least I did most of the work at the station and the rest on the train.
F: Well, you are done with it now. I still have to write another 200 words.
