John: Not great.
Paula: Why? What’s wrong?
John: I’ve just had the worst maths exam ever! I was expecting it to be difficult, but
honestly, it was impossible. I couldn’t answer any of the questions.
Paula: I bet that’s not true. You always do better than you think and I’m sure you’ve
passed.
John: That’s easy for you to say. You always do brilliantly.

2 You will hear two friends discussing weekend activities.

Linda: Well, I thought that the art gallery was amazing. I can’t believe you didn’t like
the paintings.
Joe: You know me. I much prefer being outside. All the galleries and museums get
so crowded, and then you can’t see anything properly.
Linda: I don’t really mind that to be honest, but next time we’ll do what you want. We
can walk round the park and perhaps we can find a market. You know how I love
finding bargains.
Joe: That sounds like a plan! Let’s just hope it doesn’t rain next weekend, and then
we’ll both be happy.

know I don’t like flying.
Liam: Oh come on Anna! It’ll be fine. Once we’re there, you’ll forget all about it.
Anna: I guess you’re right. But you know how stressed Mum and Dad get before we
actually go away. They’re always worried about forgetting something so that makes
me nervous too.
Liam: Relax! You know what they’re like … it’s always the same.

4 You will hear two friends talking about their homes.

David: So how’s it going in your new home? Have you settled in?
Lucy: Well, I’m still getting used to having my own room. You know I always used to
share with my little sister but now it’s great, we both have our own bedrooms and I’ve
finally got enough space for all my stuff.
David: Lucky you! My room’s tiny. Rob got the biggest room when we moved
because he’s the oldest. It’s so unfair.
Lucy: Well, at least you have your own room. It was impossible, sharing with
Gemma. She never left me alone and she was so untidy.

5 You will hear two friends talking about horse riding.

Simon: Did I tell you I’m thinking of taking up horse riding?

Hannah: Since when? I thought you were afraid of horses!
Simon: No, I’m not. You’re the one who’s always said you’re scared. I’ve always
wanted to ride and now I have the chance to have a few lessons to see how I like it.
Hannah: OK, well, when do you start?
Simon: Hopefully next week. I’m going to find out about lessons today and then I can
book something. There’s no hurry, as I don’t even have the right clothes yet.

Mum: So Jack, how was your trip to the new art gallery?
Jack: Yeah, it was good. I didn’t really feel like going but once we were there I really
enjoyed myself.
Mum: What did you see?
Jack: A photo exhibition. Mainly photos of deserts and mountains but they were
really atmospheric. Actually they’re running a competition for local schools, so I think
I’ll enter. The theme is the natural world, and I’ve got photos from our last holiday … I
took lots of the beach and the river. One or two of them might be good enough. And
the first prize is a camera!
Mum: Well, I know you’d like a new one, so let’s hope you win!
