22. LISTENING – PART 1 1 Boy: Hey sis, I've lost everything I wrote yesterday and I've no idea why. Fortunately I backed it up on my memory stick, so I won't have to start again. Have you had any trouble with the laptop today? Girl: Well, I know it's getting old, but it hasn't crashed on me or anything. I've been using it this morning and it seems ok. Hang on, is your project called ‘Magnetism’? Boy: Yeah…. Girl: Well, it's here, look in my documents. You must have forgotten to switch user… Boy: OK. Girl: The Internet’s slow though - I lost the connection once. I don't think broadband is very fast here in the village. B

23. LISTENING – PART 1 2 Presenter: …. and with another of the season’s big races coming up tomorrow, conditions could be interesting… temperatures are set for rapidly overnight, with some mist forming. That may not clear completely by the time the race starts and that will mean some frost, so the track could be slippery. There were a few incidents during the last race today, with cars skidding and bumping into each other, so let's hope we don't get a repeat. Things will improve the day after, when sunny intervals and showers are predicted, so it will mean muddy conditions on the rugby field again at the weekend…. C

24. LISTENING – PART 1 3 Teacher: Well, I'm glad you've sorted out that little problem of leaving litter on the sports field, and just in time because we’re holding a major hockey competition here on Saturday for all the schools in the area. We’d appreciate some help with that. We need about 20 volunteers, some in the car park to show where parents can drop players off, some indoors making sure everyone knows where the changing rooms are, and a few more to assist with refreshments half-way through the competition. I'll pass a list round. Put a tick against your name if you’re willing to help… A

25. LISTENING – PART 1 4 Boy: You know I've always hated maths, Lucy, but I’ve done much better since we've had that new teacher. He makes it all seem logical. Girl: Mmm, for me maths is relaxing - it's all there on the page. I don't enjoy the classes with the new teacher, though. Although he is really good at explaining, he goes too far and makes it all a bit too simple, I'm not being pushed hard at all, you know, asked to do really difficult things in algebra and geometry and so on. Boy: Well, yeah. If the class is right for me, it's not going to be right for you is it? Girl: I don't know about that... B

26. LISTENING – PART 1 5 Girl: How was the shopping trip, then? Boy: The new computer store is great. You can't get near any of the play stations and stuff because there are so many people, but they sell some great games. Girl: Where else did you go? Boy: That fast food place. I lost Joe and Mike on the way there. I thought they were just playing a trick on me when they didn't reply to my texts. So I hid behind one of the little of trees outside the fast food place and gave them a real shock when they walked past! I wish I hadn't done it now; they were upset because they couldn't find me. Girl: Oh, are you still speaking? Boy: Just about. A

27. LISTENING – PART 1 6 Girl: Well, yeah, I thought this visit was cool. I've done so many school trips to museums and there's only so many glass cases you can look at, even if you're interested in history! The exhibits here were alive. You walked through the glass tunnels in the aquarium and you could see the fish swimming just above your head. And then there was a place where you could actually touch some weird flat fish called rays, which really made the visit for me. Everyone should have a go at that if they can. There was a café which had an exhibition of lovely paintings and photos, too. They looked like the real thing I'd just seen. B

28. LISTENING – PART 1 7 Boy: … my catering teacher encouraged me to enter a baking competition, and I decided to make a cheesecake. You need lots of ingredients: biscuits and butter for the base, soft cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar and cream for the filling and fresh raspberries and lemon for the sauce. I knew it was important not to forget anything. I could have played safe and made something very straightforward, but I wanted to make something that would impress. I was nervous - there were lots of competitors - and I forgot to put the cream into the filling. The cheesecake was great though - very firm. And the judges loved it - I came second. Result! C

29. LISTENING – PART 1 8 Girl: The holiday centre in Holland sounds great, Dad, but why are we hiring bikes? Father: Well, the idea is that once you've arrived and put your luggage into the cabins, you park your vehicle and leave it. I think it's a good system, but I'm wondering about getting the train there once we've taken the ferry to Holland. There's a station near the holiday centre. And actually there's a direct coach…. we could take that from the port…. Girl: Yeah, Dad, but we’ll want to get out and about, won’t we? Not spend all our time in the centre….. Father: Yep, you’re right. We’ll stick to my original idea. Girl: Good. B
