Richard: Hi, Sam. We need one more player for the football match. Interested?
Sam: Sorry, Richard. I’ll be busy on Saturday.
Richard: Actually, it’s on Friday after school because a lot of the others are busy. Sunday was difficult, too.
Sam: Oh, I’d like to play then. Where’s the match?
Richard: At Kings … no, at Castle School.
Sam: Is that quite near the railway station? I think I know it.
Richard: No, it’s the one down by the river. The grass is always better there.
Sam: Fine. And are you going by coach or by train?
Richard: There aren’t enough of us for a coach. Some of the teachers are going to drive us there. Have you got any white shorts?
Sam: I’ve got some black ones.
Richard: They’re no good. Don’t worry. I can give you some. We usually wear blue ones, but the other team wears that colour.
Sam: OK. Who are the other team?
Richard: They’re all students at the American International School so they all speak English, but most of them come from Poland. They don’t have a school team. The students play for different teams.
Sam: Good players then!
Richard: Yes, the Polish students have a good team, but not as good as the Spanish team we played last week!

16 You will hear two friends talking about a bank’s new album. What do they say about it?
Girl: Have you heard the new album by The Yesterdays?
Boy: Yes, I bought it last week and listened to all of the songs on it. It’s OK, but it isn’t amazing. What do you think of it?
Girl: It’s quite good, but I prefer the songs on their last album. The guitar player wrote all of them. Their last album was brilliant.
Boy: Yes, it was.
17 You will hear a pilot talking to passengers on a plane. What does she want them to know?
Woman: We’re about to land at London airport soon. It’s a sunny day there with a temperature of 18 degrees, which is good news because all the gates are full so you’ll need to wait for a bus to the airport building. Once you are inside the airport, you’ll have to show your passport before you can collect your suitcase or rucksack.
18 You will hear two friends talking about last weekend. Where did they go?
Boy: Last weekend was amazing, wasn’t it?
Girl: Yes, it was. Everyone had a lot of fun. But, oh, I fell over a lot and my legs hurt!
Boy: Mine too. Getting down the hill was harder than playing a whole football match!
Girl: I want to go there again, but first I’m going to the sports centre to get fit.
19 You will hear one of the staff at a zoo giving a talk. What does he want visitors to do?
Man: Now it’s important not to give penguins food like the burgers you can buy from the zoo’s restaurant. Wild penguins eat fish and small sea creatures so today I want some of our younger visitors to help me give the penguins the fish I prepared. OK? Now, what about you? Yes, the boy with a toy penguin from the zoo shop. Here’s a fish.
20 You will hear a man talking to his daughter about presents. Why does the girl decide to buy her mum the umbrella?
Girl: Dad, do you think Mum would like this perfume for her birthday?
Dad: Mmm, it’s a bit expensive. What about this umbrella?
Girl: Oh yes, she lost hers on the bus and she wants a dark one.
Dad: Yes, that looks perfect. And I can get her a new handbag.
Girl: Oh yes. Her brown bag is too small for her new tablet.
