Exam Tip
In Part 3 you choose A, B or C. All three options are usually mentioned, so listen for the one the speakers finally agree on — the first answer you hear is often a distractor (the brother and cousin before dad; the journey before the moon buggy).
Drag the words into the correct gaps to practise the key language from this lesson.
Part 3: New Video Game
You will hear a conversation between two friends talking about a new game they have just downloaded. For each question, choose the correct answer.
You now have twenty seconds to look at Part Three.
Matt Emma, I have a new video game called Space Adventure.
Emma Where did you find out about it, Matt?
Matt I heard some of my friends talking about it at school, so I came home and downloaded it from a game’s website.
Emma Oh! It’s quite difficult to play, but I love new games and I’ve downloaded it too. Who are you going to play with?
Matt Well, my brother is too busy as he has exams, and my cousin Amy won’t be coming round until next weekend, so I’ll play with my dad when he comes home from work.
Emma Last weekend, I played it with my sister for an hour and a half. We didn’t play on Sunday as we went for a long walk for 2 hours. Which part do you like best?
Matt The journey to the moon is really good, but the bit I enjoy most is when you take a ride on a moon buggy. That’s really cool. The part about farming for food is my least favourite.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part Three.
