A:   Hi Adam. Jessie told me you’ve decided to learn how to cook. How is the course you’re doing?

B:   Well, it was my mother who told me to do it. At first I thought it wouldn’t be so interesting as I don’t want to be a chef like her. But half an hour after the class started, I realised it was a great opportunity: you know how I love good food, so making dishes can be great fun.

A:   I’m sure it was great way to spend the day.

B:   It was! And being in a kitchen from morning to evening was a very interesting experience. After the first half hour when the teacher told us what to use, it took me only three hours to make a very special meal with very simple foods such as cheese, vegetables and eggs. When I got back in the evening I was really happy about the results.

A:   Was the kitchen large?

B:   Very large. There were 14 of us, but we had enough space to work.

A:   So are you going to the course on desserts next month?

B:   I’d love to, but I don’t think I’ll have enough time because next month I have a lot of tests. Anyway I’d like to keep working in the kitchen by myself. I’d like to try to make a meal for my vegetarian grandmother. She really loves trying new dishes so I’ll see what I can do: I have an interesting cookbook with a lot of wonderful vegetable dishes!

A:   Sounds great! I hope you’ll invite me too.

16   You will hear a boy and a girl talking about a teacher, Ms Thompson. What does she teach?

A:   So what do you think about Ms Thompson?

B:   I really like the way she explains things. I mean, we’ve already found out lots of interesting things about the countries we’re studying this term and not just learning about the capital cities. She also likes telling us about the history of these countries or what foods you can eat there.

A:   I suppose you’re right. Though I still prefer our Maths teacher’s lessons.

17   You will hear a girl talking about her favourite sport. What sport is it?

I love all winter sports. I tried skiing last winter and I really enjoyed it at first but then it got a bit boring. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than snowboarding. Of course, you need to be fit and it’s easier to get hurt. That’s why I always train at the gym for a month before I go to the mountains.

18   You will hear a boy talking with his mother. What does she want him to do?

A:   Hi, Mum, I’m back.

B:   Did you remember to take the books back to the library?

A:   Sure, and I’ve bought the drinks for tomorrow’s trip as well.

B:   OK, here’s what you need to make the sandwiches. I can’t do that as I have to work this afternoon.

A:   OK, see you later Mum.

19   You will hear a football coach talking to one of the players. When is the next match?

Henry, don’t forget that this week football practice is at quarter to five on Monday, not on Tuesday. We’re playing against Gillford Junior High on Thursday at the same place where we played our last game on Sunday. Don’t forget to bring our team’s new yellow T-shirts, of course.

20   You will hear two friends talking about what they will do tomorrow. What will the weather be like?

A:   Shall we go for a bike ride tomorrow?

B:   I don’t know. I think it might rain tomorrow…

A:   No, I don’t think so. The weather forecast said it’s definitely going to be sunny.

B:   OK, let’s try it. The last time we went, it started raining while we were cycling, but it stopped after a few minutes.

A:   Right, see you tomorrow then!
