PART 2 Now turn to Part 2, questions 8-13.
Look at the questions for this parto You will hear part of a radio programme about
classical music. Put a tick in the correct box for each question. At the end the recording
is repeated. I ~

[pause]
Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. l'

Presenter: ... and now if you're a regular listener to this programme, you'll know that
it's time for our weekly competition. Last week's prize of two theatre tickets
was won by Bill Martins. Congratulations, Bill. 1hope you've received your
tickets by now.
This week we're offering a classical CD to the first listener who can name
the piece of music and the person who wrote it. I'm going to play the piece in
a few minutes, but before 1 do, you need to get a pencil and a piece of paper,
as I'm going to give you some help which should make your job a little easier.
Are you ready? Right. Now, listen carefully, as you might be this week's
lucky winner.
Although the person who wrote this piece of classical music was born in
Italy, his parents were French and he spent most of his life in Spain. Have
you got that? On to the second point: there is also a famous play which has
the same title as this music and which is usually performed in the open air-
in the summer. Any idea yet? 1 should warn you that it's not that easy.
Anyway for the next point. When this piece of music was first performed,
many people in the audience got up and walked out. At the end they say
there was complete silence, which I'm sure wasn't very pleasant for the
writer. People thought the music was terrible and complained about wasting
their money. It's amazing really, when you think how popular it is today.
,I

And now for the last point. Part of this music has been used for an
advertisement which you can see on television. I'm sure when you hear the
music, you'll know what the advertisement is for. I'm not going to tell you
what product it advertises, as that would almost certainly give you the
answer! Y ou can also see the advert in a lot of magazines and 1think from
next month this advert will also be on your cinema screens.
So that's four things to remember. And the phone number to ring if you
can give us the titIe of the music and the name of the man who wrote it is
1
0018937224. And the piece of music is coming up now ...
[pause]
Now listen again.
[The recording is repeated.]
That is the end of Part 2.
You now have a minute to check your answers. We will tell you when Part 3 begins.
[pause]

PART 3 Now turn to Part 3, questions 14-19.

Look at the information sheet. Some information is missing. You will hear a radio
programme in which young people [rom different parts of the country are interviewed.
For each question, foil in the missing information in the numbered space. At the end the
recording is repeated.
[pause]
Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully.
Man: Hello and welcome to our series about young people living in different parts of the
country. Today you'll hear Mike Davis, who lives in Hereford, telling you
something about his life.
Boy: Hello. I'm 13 years old and 1go to Stanley School. I'm in Form 3, and I'm really
interested in science but 1find maths and especially English a bit hard. I'm good at
running and I've run for the school team in the 800 metres.
My dad sells farm machinery. We live in the country about four miles from
school, so 1get to school by bicyde. My unde has a farm and I spend most of my
free time helping out there. He's got 50 cows and I like to help him with them. 1

It's hard work, but it's good to see everything looking dean. 1painted it white last
summer - I'm good at painting. My unde's got a tractor and he says 1can drive it
when I'm 15. I'm looking forward ro that.
On Mondays I go to the Young Farmers' Group which I've belonged to since 1
was 10. It's mostly fun but we also learn things, like how to look after animals
properly.
1definitely want to work in the countryside when 1 leave school. 1wouldn't like
to live in a town or sit in an office all day. My father thinks I should work in his
business, but 1want to be like my unde and ha ve my own farm one da)'. My
mother says I'll have to go to agricultural college first, so I'rn going to work hard

Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully,
Jim: Mum, my old bicycle needs to be repaired again.
Mother: Well then, why don't you think of buying a new one, Jim?
Jim: You know, I'd really like to buy one of those mountain bikes.
Mother: Well, what's stopping you?
Jim: Do you know how much they cost?! At least f300. Where can 1find that kind
of money?
Mother: You could save the rnoney. If you saved fS a week, you would have the money
you need in, let me see ... just over ayear.

mean,I use my bike to go to college every day.
Mother: But what's so special about a mountain bike? Why do you have to have onc of
those? There aren't any mountains around here. Isn't an ordinary bike chcaper?

Mother: We don't even have any hills near uso How much does an ordinary bike cost?
Jim: 1 don't know ... Oh, 1suppose you can get quite a good one for about LI50.
Mother: Well, that sounds more reasonable. If you save fS a week, you'll have enough
money in about six months.
Jim: That won't help me get to co11egenext term!
Mother: 1 really think you should learn to save some money. 1'11te11you what 1'11do. If

bike in a few months. Go and get the old one repaired, and bring the bill to me.
