Part 4: Five Topics Set 4

For each question, choose the correct answer.

One. You will hear a girl talking about her summer holiday. Where did she stay?

Girl We had such a great summer holiday in France! My parents wanted to book a hotel, but it was too expensive. We thought about staying at my aunt’s house in Paris, but she was away that week. So we decided to go camping instead. It was my first time sleeping in a tent, and I loved it! We were right next to a beautiful lake, and we could swim every morning.

Two. You will hear two students talking about their art class. What did the girl forget to bring?

Lucy Oh no! I’ve forgotten something important for art class.

Tom What is it? I’ve got my paint brushes and paper with me.

Lucy I’ve got those too, but I forgot to bring water to clean the brushes. The teacher said we need to bring our own because the taps in the art room don’t work.

Tom Don’t worry — I brought a big bottle. We can share it.

Three. You will hear a boy talking about his pet. What problem does his pet have?

Boy I’m really worried about my rabbit, Fluffy. She used to eat everything — carrots, lettuce, even her special rabbit food. But for the past few days, she won’t touch anything. She just sits in the corner of her cage and looks sad. My mum says we should take her to the vet tomorrow. I hope she’s going to be okay.

Four. You will hear two friends talking about a restaurant. What did the man think of the service?

Anna How was that new Italian restaurant last night?

David The food was delicious — the best pizza I’ve ever had. And the waiters were really nice and helpful. But we had to wait over an hour for our food to arrive! Next time I think we should book a table earlier in the evening.

Anna Oh dear! I hate waiting that long when I’m hungry.

Now listen again.

Five. You will hear a woman talking about getting to work. Why was she late?

Woman Sorry I’m late everyone! I left home at the usual time and caught my normal train to the city. But then we stopped in the middle of nowhere for about twenty minutes. The driver said there was a problem with the signals ahead. I tried calling the office, but my phone had no signal. Anyway, I’m here now, so let’s start the meeting.
