Rob: Hi, Andrea.
Andrea: Oh, hi Rob.
Rob: Do you fancy going on a day trip to the beach this Saturday?
Andrea: Good idea! Is your brother coming?
Rob: No, my brother can’t come. He’s going to London this weekend to meet one of our cousins. But my sister wants to go.
Andrea: OK. So, is your sister driving?
Rob: No, she hasn’t got a car yet! There’s a bus, but it’s very slow. I think the train’s the best idea.
Andrea: All right. Shall we take a picnic? I can bring some sandwiches.
Rob: Well, we’ve got a lot of bread for sandwiches so I’ll take them. I’ll bring the drinks, too. You can bring cakes if you like.
Andrea: OK, good idea. How much is the train fare? Is it more than £10?
Rob: Well, for my sister it’ll be £12, I think, but it’s £8 for us with our student card.
Andrea: That’s good. I’ll take my student card.
Rob: Great! So, shall we meet at your house?
Andrea: There’s no point. I can meet you at the station. My mum will take me there.
Rob: OK. Let’s get the 8.30 train.

16 You will hear a tour guide showing tourists around a building. What does he show them?
Man: Now, I’m going to take you to the most historical part of the castle. This part dates back to the year 984 when there was a wooden castle here, it was only in 1392 that a stone castle was built. You’ll see that the stone blocks are quite big. We think they were transported here by boat.
17 You will hear a girl and boy talking. What do they have to do for homework this week?
Boy: Did you write down what Mr Simpson said we have to do for homework?
Girl: Yes, I’ve written it here.
Boy: Let me have a look. … OK, so we have to ask someone old what it was like in our town 50 years ago?
Girl: Yes, he wants us to prepare a presentation on life in the past but not till next week.
18 You will hear a teacher talking to a student. What is the problem?
Teacher: Do you have a moment, Jim? I’d like to talk to you about your homework.
Jim: Oh, is there a problem with it? It took me ages to do it.
Teacher: It’s very good, in fact you did very well because you’ve done next week’s homework before we’ve studied it!
Jim: Oh! Have I?
Teacher: Can you do this week’s homework for tomorrow?
19 You will hear a father talking to his daughter. What should the girl do?
Dad: OK, so we’ve put the tents up and made the beds so all the family has somewhere to sleep tonight.
Girl: Shall I wash the tea cups? There are a lot of them.
Dad: No, you can do that after dinner. First, can you help me make a camp fire?
Girl: Sure. We learned how to do that last summer at scout camp.
20 You will hear a woman in a library talking to a boy. Where are the local history books?
Boy: I’d like to find out about my town in the past. Are there any good websites I can look at?
Woman: There are, but there are also a lot of books on local history. They’re often better than the Internet.
Boy: Are they in the history section?
Woman: No, there’s a special shelf for them. They’re just by the computers.
Boy: Thanks, I’ll look there.
