2. Read the Listening Strategy. Then listen to three
people. What are they talking about? Match them
with the correct topic (a-c).

1 Jonnie ◻
a buses
b traffic
c shops

2 Ian ◻
a a town
b a library
c a cinema

3 Milla ◻
a a hotel
b an office block
c a shopping centre
1 Jonnie The noise starts at 7.30 outside my window.
I can see everyone going to work in the centre of
town. It’s very busy for two hours, then it gets
quieter. At five o’clock the noise gets louder again
with all the cars and buses with people going
home.

2 Ian We go there every weekend, and we usually go


in a big group. We like to watch action films or
comedies. We sometimes buy sweets and fizzy
drinks to eat and drink during the film.

3 Milla It’s always busy, especially at the weekends. I


like it like that. There’s always something to see or do.
My friends and I go there by bus as often as possible in
our free time. But it’s easy to spend too much money
on shopping and pizza!
3. Listen and match speakers (1-4) with the
sentences (a-e). There is one extra sentence.
Remember not to worry if you don’t understand
everything.

Which speaker …
a is showing visitors his/her new house in the country?
b explains what there is to do where he/she lives?
c is giving a tour of a town?
d would like to live in the country?
e wants to go on holiday to a city?

Speaker 1 I love museums and art galleries. I like history


and beautiful buildings. I’ve got a few days off work,
and my plan is to go to Barcelona with a friend. I can
also speak the language and I especially love the food,
so I can’t wait!

Speaker 2Look out of the window on your right and you


can see a large lake between the trees and flowers of
our beautiful park. In a moment on your left you can
see the main street with the town hall at the end. Now,
we’re going to the centre where you can see the
famous library. It’s one of the oldest buildings here.
Speaker 3 Come in and through here into the garden. It’s
really pretty, don’t you think? Now go through this
door. Do you like it? It’s smaller than my last home, but
it’s more comfortable and so much nicer. Look out of
the window and you can see trees and fields. It’s a
wonderful view!

Speaker 4 I really don’t like it here. It’s busy, noisy and


dirty. I’d prefer to live somewhere more beautiful and
more peaceful. I’d like to see open spaces and green
everywhere. I’d like to see hills, woods and fields. That’s
my ideal place to live.
4. Listen again and answer the questions.

1 Which country would speaker 1 like to visit?


…………………………….
2 Which buildings does speaker 2 mention?
…………………………….
3 Which does speaker 3 prefer, her old home or her
new home?
…………………………….
4 Why does speaker 4 dislike the place where he lives
now?
…………………………….
