Three great campsites to try this summer
Sandy Bay
This campsite is on an excellent beach, and has its own surfing school with special prices for
campers. You can also learn to windsurf and sail there. The sea is safe for swimming, so it's
a great place for families. The large swimming pool is great in summer, and has a wide area
of grass around it. Its small supermarket has long opening hours. It doesn't matter what size
tent you bring, as the campsite is large and you won't be too near your neighbours!
High Wood
There are lots of activities you can do at High Wood campsite, from fishing to cycling, and
they'll lend you any of the equipment you need. It's not as large as some campsites, but it's
clean and modern. It has a fantastic pool with a roof window which can open and close.
There's also a special area where you can watch films or dance under the stars to local
bands. For food shopping, try the shop in the nearby village.
Black Lake
The wonderful thing about Black Lake campsite is waking up in the morning and seeing the
beautiful mountains all around you. You don't have to bring your own tent - there are some
already there you can pay to use. There's lots to do - you can swim in the lake or walk in the
forest. And don't forget to bring your mountain bike with you! If you want to cook for yourself,
the shop in the next village has a good variety of food.

Test 1
PART3
QUESTIONS 14-18
Jack Calder
Violin player Jack Calder plays in the Australian band, Ocean Blue.
Jack Calder started playing the violin when he was ten. 'My music teacher played and one
day he asked if anyone wanted to learn. Some girls put up their hands and so did I. I didn't
have a violin, but my uncle said I could use his. The lessons were really hard at first, but
playing the violin soon became important to me.'
After leaving school, Jack moved to Melbourne. For a time, he preferred listening to music
to playing it. The rock music he listened to sounded very different from violin music, so he
bought an electric violin, and started putting the things he liked about rock music into the
music he played on his violin.
A year later, Jack met a small group of Melbourne musicians. 'We all thought about music in
the same way and started Ocean Blue together. A year later, we were playing lots of concerts,
and our music was selling well. But we didn't want this to make us different people. We didn't
want to stop being friends.'
Jack meets many people who think playing the violin is an unusual career, but he doesn't
agree with them. 'I think it's the best thing in the world. I guess I'm lucky that way. The
internet has changed music, but when I walk into a violin shop it's like entering another
world - one where time has stopped. Someone has looked after these beautiful old
instruments that are two or three hundred years old. I,think that's amazing.'

A. He was the only person at school to play the violin.

A. explaining why Jack thought some music was easy to play
B. saying why only a few people liked the music Jack played
C. describing how Jack changed the kind of music he played
16 What does Jack say about Ocean Blue?
A. Nobody in the band liked travelling far to play in a concert.
B. The band members were interested in different kinds of music.
C. Everyone wanted to stay friends when the band became successful.
17 Why does Jack think he is lucky?
A. He meets lots of people.
B. He loves what he does.
C. He has an unusual career.
18 Jack thinks it is a good idea
A. to keep some things that people used in the past.

How I became a tennis coach

Petra
I grew up in Germany, but when I was 17, I moved to Spain so I
could go to a tennis centre there. It was hard to be without my family
and friends, especially when I hurt myself or got ill. However, my
tennis improved a lot. After three years, I left the centre and began
my career. I started playing in big competitions around the world. I
did OK, but wasn't earning enough money, so I quickly decided to
become a tennis coach instead. I now teach children who are just
starting the game, which is fun.
When I was 14, my dad sent me to a tennis centre near my home in

Italy. He thought I might become a top player like him, but I saw how
much time he spent going from one country to another during his
career, and I've never wanted that for myself. My favourite things at
the tennis centre were spending time at the pool or having barbecues
with friends in the evenings. I'm now a coach, and teach young tennis
stars at summer camps in Italy.
When I went to live in Spain so I could go to a famous tennis centre

there, my dad came with me, and my mum stayed at home in
Scotland. My tennis really improved during my two years there, but
when I broke my foot it became clear that a career as a tennis player
wasn't going to be possible. I went home for a year and then returned
to the centre to do a coaching course. I now teach the best young
players in Scotland.

QUESTIONS 14-18
Joining a ballroom dancing club

By Pippa Cartwright
When I started college, I wanted to find a club to join. One of the first ones I looked at was
ballroom dancing - a type of dance you do with a partner. The people there seemed to be
having a great time, and it didn't cost much, so I decided to join.
The first week I went, I was really worried because the teacher told us that there were
nineteen different dances we had to learn. But it's been fine. When there's a new thing to
learn, he shows it to us lots of times and makes sure we're all good at it before we do the
next thing.
When I joined, I didn't know any of the other people in the club because we all study different
subjects. But it's been a great way to meet people, and I've made some of my best friends in
the club.
One of the reasons we learn the dances is to enter competitions. I couldn't wait to do my
first one. Before we started, I was a bit worried. But during the competition, my partner and
I remembered everything about our dances. We were great. We didn't win any prizes, but it
didn't matter- we loved it!
Joining the ballroom dancing club has been fantastic. In the past, I always did the same
sports and activities, year after year, but ballroom dancing has taught me there's nothing
scary about doing something you've never tried before. I still do lots of sports, but now I can
add ballroom dancing to my list of hobbies.

Learning for fun

Meet three women who enjoy taking classes in their free time.
Paula
I work full time as a nurse, and don't have much time for hobbies, but
I've been interested in photography since I was a child. On my last
holiday to India, I took lots of pictures, and everyone I showed them to
said they were great. So I decided to do a course. At first, I was afraid I
might not be good enough. After all, it was my first time as a student for
ten years! But I loved it from the very first lesson.
Sally
When I was still at school, I started learning the violin. It was fun and I
was quite good at it, but I didn't do it for long, because I had so many
other hobbies. Then last year, I was having a hard time in my job, and
my husband bought me a violin as a present. I started learning with a
teacher again. All three of my children are learning to play instruments
too, so now we can practise with each other!
Last year I moved to a new city because of my job. I didn't have

anything to do in the evenings, so one of my colleagues said I should try
a class at the local college. I immediately thought of cooking. My mum
was a fantastic cook, and when I was a child I loved watching her in the
kitchen, but I never learned how to cook myself. The other students on
the course are around my age, and sometimes we go to restaurants
together, or even the cinema.

QUESTIONS 14-18
My city
Pop singer Charlotte Bond talks about living in London.
I live in the centre of London. I love it because there's always something happening and there
are people around whatever time it is. Famous people like it too - they often come here for
the restaurants and shops.
I've lived here all my life. When I was little, I had singing lessons at a place near where I live
now. I was afraid of the teacher at first, and some of the songs we did together were quite
hard to learn. But she was good at what she did and I learned a lot of things that have helped
me in my career.
When friends visit me now, I enjoy taking them sightseeing. You can get a bus around the
city, but we prefer to walk. I've got a little car and I love driving, but there's so much traffic
here, and it's hard to find parking spaces.
One building I love is the Natural History Museum. They sometimes hold parties there, and
last December my band and I played at one. I'll never forget it. When I go to exhibitions at the
museum with my friends, I tell them all about that night and how amazing it was.
Soon I'll be leaving London to go on tour with my band. We're playing in lots of new cities
and I can't wait to explore them. We've sold lots of tickets, which is great. I'll be away from
my family for six months, but they're coming to see me sing, so it's fine.

A dancer's life
Priya
I work as a dancer, and I'm also studying part-time. I practise most
days and have to do my college work, so I can't always go out with
my friends at weekends, but that's fine. We text each other every day.
I mostly dance in musicals, but in the future I'm hoping to start jazz
dance. My mum always comes to watch me on stage. She's my biggest
fan! Being a dancer isn't easy, but I want to do it as long as I can.
Zoe
There are dancers of all ages in my dance company and every year
we go on international tours together. My cousin also dances with me.
She's been a dancer for seven years and people everywhere know her
now. She was a jazz dancer in the past, but loves what we do now. I
don't usually feel worried before I dance in front of others - I know I'm
good! But that's only because I try so hard. I spend about three hours
dancing every day.
Heike
I come from a family of dancers so maybe it's not surprising I'm one
too. I'm in a hip-hop group at the moment, but actually I can dance to
any music - even jazz! I'm the youngest member of my dance group.
Before each show, I think of everything that might go wrong, but I try
hard to tell myself it'll all be OK. We dance all over the country, so I'm
away from home almost every day and I miss my friends a lot.

QUESTIONS 14-18
Travel writer
Tim Greenwood lives in Oakland, USA. He has written about Cambodia, Thailand and India.
At the moment he is writing a book about Nepal.
Tim, how did you start travelling?

We never travelled as a family, but when I was a teenager I saw movies like Lawrence of
Arabia and they made me want to travel. I left college at the age of 21 and went to Europe
alone. That trip didn't go well - I was too young and didn't know how to look after myself.
How did you start writing?

I've loved writing since I was ten - I've never wanted any other career. At 21, I wrote for
my weekly college paper and then started writing travel articles. At first, none of the travel
magazines I sent them to wanted to buy them, but that slowly changed. It took two or three
years, I guess.
What do you find difficult about writing?

It is easy to spend all my time travelling and then not have time to open up my laptop and
work! Also, it's hard to earn enough money. I'll never stop writing, but one day I may have to
do a few hours a week teaching just to pay the bills.
What's the best thing about being a travel writer?

I get letters from young people who've read my books and articles and enjoy my work. I just
love that!

Test One. There are five parts to the test. You will hear each piece twice. We will
now stop for a moment before we start the test. Please ask any questions now
because you must NOT speak during the test.
PART 1 Now look at the instructions for Part One.

Question 1 One. How did the woman travel to work this morning?
Man: Hi, you're late for work today.
Woman: Yes, I couldn't use my c a r - it's at the garage.
Man: So, did you get the train?
Woman: Well, I was on my way to the station, but got on the wrong bus. It
took me to the university instead. I was looking at my phone and
didn't notice. Then I had to get another one to get here.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 2 Two. What will the man eat first at the restaurant?
Woman: The menu looks really good. What are you going to have?
Man: Well, I want roast chicken for the main course, but I'll have the
mushroom soup for my first course.
87
Test 1 answer key
Woman: I'll have the chicken too, but I'll have salad to start.
Man: I had that last time, but I'm really hungry today. Right, so we're
ready to order.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 3 Three. Which was the view from the woman's hotel room?
Man: Good holiday?
Woman: Fantastic, thanks. The hotel was by the beach. It had a beautiful
garden. Here's a photo.
Man: Amazing view! I'd love to wake up in a hotel room and see that
beach.
Woman: Well, my room was on the other side of the hotel, opposite the pool.
I walked along the beach every day, and around the garden too.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 4 Four. Why will the man miss the concert tonight?
Woman: Are you ready to leave soon? The concert starts at 7. Oh no, you
look really pale. Have you got a bad headache?
Man: There's something wrong with my tooth. It really hurts.
Woman: What about taking some medicine for the pain?
Man: No, thanks, that'll give me a stomach ache.
Woman: OK, well, let me try and get a doctor's appointment for
you.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 5 Five. What will the woman wear for the party?
Woman: I'm trying to decide what to wear for the party. What do you think of
this jumper?
Man: It looks great, but won't you be too warm? What about your
favourite dress?
Woman: I'm not sure. Everyone else will probably be in jeans and T-shirts.
Man: You don't have to wear what everyone else wears!
Woman: Yes, you're right! I'll take your advice!
Now listen again.
[repeat]
That is the end of Part One.
PART 2 Now look at Part Two.

For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one word or a number
or a date or a time. Look at questions 6-1 O now. You have ten seconds.
88
Test 1 answer key
You will hear a man giving information about a city bus tour.
Man: Welcome to City Bus Tours. My name's Greg. We'll start our tour
at ten o'clock. There's another tour at one thirty and a final one at
twenty past four. There are lots of people this morning, so it might
be better to do a later tour instead. If you decide to do that, you
need to know the colour of the bus stop. Wait at the blue one - the
green stop's for the normal city buses, not tourist buses.
Some of you've asked how long the tour takes. It's about 90 minutes,
and I'll talk for around 40 minutes of that to tell you about the city.
Don't lose your bus ticket, as you can use it to get a discount at one
of the most interesting places in the city - that's the museum behind
the stadium.
You need to know where the tour finishes. As you can see, we're
outside the university now, and the last place we'll see is the theatre.
From there you can easily get to the river.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
That is the end of Part Two.
PART 3 Now look at Part Three.

For each question, choose the correct answer. Look at questions 11-15 now. You
have twenty seconds.
You will hear two friends, Richard and Barbara, talking about a new supermarket.
Richard: Have you been to the new supermarket, Barbara?
Barbara: Yes, Richard, it's great!
Richard: I went this morning. And I couldn't believe it's so large when you get
inside!
Barbara: Were there many people?
Richard: Not really. But it was early.
Barbara: And you can save money
Richard: on your shopping.
Yeah. Every week, there are special offers on one kind of food, like
Barbara: meat for example. It's fruit at the moment.
Richard: And next week it might be... vegetables?

Barbara: I suppose.
Richard: So, what did you like best?
Well, one of the staff told me about the cafe, but I didn't have
enough time to go. People don't usually like the songs they hear in
Barbara: supermarkets, but I loved them there!
Richard: Me too.
Barbara: But I had a problem.
Richard: You had to wait to pay?
Barbara: Not really. I had to pay by cash, but I prefer using my credit card.
What a shame.
89
Test 1 answer key
Richard: Did you use the car park?

Barbara: Yes, I found it easily. You have to walk a long way to get to the
supermarket, but at least anybody can park all day.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
That is the end of Part Three.
PART 4 Now look at Part Four.

Question 16 Sixteen. You will hear a woman talking on the radio about her job. What's her job?
Woman: I guess I've always enjoyed either building or taking things apart -
• ever since I was a little girl. As a teenager, I loved nothing more than
helping my dad fix vehicles or working in his garage. So, it wasn't a
big surprise when I chose a career where I design and build planes.
I've had an amazing time so far.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 17 Seventeen. You will hear a woman talking to a friend about a film. What does she
say about the film?
Man: Have you seen any good films recently?
Woman: Yes, last week. I usually watch comedies, but I wanted to watch
something different, so I chose a horror film - I was a bit afraid some
of the time!
Man: It still sounds like a good film, but I prefer ones that are based on
Woman: facts. Well, this one certainly wasn't!
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 18 Eighteen. You will hear a sports coach talking to some footballers. What would the
coach like them to become better at?
Man: You did much better in last Saturday's match. Well done for scoring
two goals! They were a great team and you almost beat them. What
you need to improve is moving fast around the field when you've got
the ball. That's what we'll practise today. I'm going to divide you into
four small teams and we'll work together to do this.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 19 Nineteen. You will hear two friends talking about a website. Why does Julia prefer to
buy clothes from the website?
Man: That's a nice sweater, Julia.
Woman: Thanks, it's from HighFashion.com - I always order from there.
90
Test 1 answer key
Man: Their men's clothes are all right, if you don't mind wearing stuff that
isn't very popular anymore.
Woman: I don't care about that because everything's at least half-price. But
orders can take a while before I get them in the mail.
Man: Yeah, other sites are faster that way.
Now listen again.
[repeat]
Question 20 Twenty. You will hear two colleagues talking together. Why was the man not at the
meeting this morning?
Man: How was the meeting this morning, Charlotte?
Woman: Good. But why weren't you there? Did you have a dentist's
appointment or something?
Man: That's tomorrow. But one of our most important customers was
ill yesterday - he had a terrible earache - so he wanted to see me
today. Unfortunately, that meant missing the meeting.
Woman: OK. Well, let me tell you what we discussed.
Now listen again.

You will hear Gregory talking to Angelika about some things he has bought for
his new house. What is he going to put in each place?
Angelika: Where are you going to put all these things, Gregory?
Gregory: I like eating in the garden when it's hot, Angelika, so this table's
going outside.
Angelika: I thought it was for your dining room.
Gregory: I've already got a table in there. I got this little light to go on it.
Angelika: That'll look good - it's the same colour as the curtains already in
there.
Gregory: That's true.
Angelika: Did you get something to go in your bathroom, too? This mirror, maybe.
Gregory: The wooden chair, actually. I think it'll look good next to the bath.
Angelika: Nice idea. And what about your bedroom?
Gregory: I thought about putting this bookcase in there. But I think this little
cupboard will look nicer than the bookcase.
Angelika: There's a space in the living room, a perfect place for the bookcase,
you know, under the mirror.
Gregory: That's a good idea.
91
Test 1 answer key
Angelika: Yes, do you think the kitchen's a good place to put this clock?
Gregory: That's a present for my parents, actually.

in there?
Gregory: Good idea!

Victoria: Yes, I'll explain that because we'll be ten kilometres away from the
centre, the rent's much lower, but that the offices are the same size.
Daniel: Sure. Today's May 31st, so when will we be in the new building?
Victoria: Let's say by July 1st staff must start packing. Then August 15th will
be the first day in their new offices.
Daniel: OK.
Victoria: Perhaps staff will want to know what's near the building.
Daniel: Like the great sports centre across the road - but the cafes around
there don't look very nice and the shopping centre looks small.
Victoria: Yes.
Daniel: You've asked me to order a few things. I've bought the signs that
we'll need. And I must remember to get keys for everyone. We're
using the same desks and chairs.
Victoria: Good.

now because you must NOT speak during the test.

Question 1 One. Where will they go if it rains tomorrow?

Man: My weather app says it might rain tomorrow.
Woman: Oh... we won't be able to go walking. Shall we go out for lunch
instead?
Man: I need some exercise. I've been at my desk all week.

but the pool will be too busy.
Man: I'll get the rackets.

Question 3 Three. Where does the man work now?

Man: I am. I'm working at that place next to the Italian restaurant.
Woman: I'll bring my car there next time I have a problem.
Now listen again.

Question 4 Four. Where does the man want to go?

You will hear a man talking about a film on local radio.
106
Test 3 answer key
Man: You'll be able to see a very special film in the city this weekend.
It's called Runner, and it was actually filmed in our own city - it's a
really exciting story. This new film's about a doctor and the star is
John Hughes, who was very successful in his last film, called Stage,
which was about a rock band. They're showing it at the Caratopia
Cinema - that's spelled C-A-R-A-T-0-P-I-A, which is a small cinema
near the town square.
You can see it from the 24th to the 31st of July. Also, on the 28th of
July some of the actors will come to talk about the film and answer
your questions. Anyway, the film begins at quarter past eight and is
an hour and a half long, so it'll finish at quarter to ten.
It's a good idea to book tickets. If you're studying, they're ten
pounds fifty, and they're thirteen pounds thirty for everyone else. You
can find more information about this interesting film on our website.

You will hear Phil talking to his friend Jess about a new sports centre.
Phil: Hi, Jess. Did you hear about the new sports centre on the radio this
morning?
Jess: The one that you and your friend Bob went to? No... actually, there
was a poster about it near my work. Is it good?
Phil: Yes, it's bigger than the old one and it's fun, especially with the
great loud music they play! It costs a lot. Too much.
Jess: Do you go every day?
Phil: If I can. Mornings are best because it's less busy, especially very
early. Schools use it during the day, but that's fine because I'm at
work then. Weekends are too crowded.
Jess: The pool in the old sports centre's quite dirty, so I'd love to try this
new one. I'd like to enter one of their swimming competitions, but
the heating for the water isn't working, so it's not open yet.
Phil: Let's go to the gym together instead!
Jess: I'm not a member and I need new trainers.
Phil: That doesn't matter. You can join when you get there, and we'll go to
the cafe afterwards - it's cheaper for members. So are the classes.
Jess: OK, great.

Bozhidara.
Commentary and mark

A very good attempt at the task. All three elements of the message are Content 5

text is connected and coherent, but because is the only cohesive device
Language 4
used accurately. Grammatical forms are well controlled (Would you like
to, We will go, by bus). Vocabulary is used reasonably appropriately, but Total 13
there is too much repetition of language from the task (to the shopping
centre, on Satuday, I need to buy).

Man: Actually, I've only been there for two weeks, and finished painting it
two days ago.
Woman: Is it very different from your old place?
Man: Well, it isn't bigger and it isn't on the top floor, so the views aren't as
good. But I love that it only takes five minutes to walk to work.
Woman: Fantastic. And the rooms?
Man: There's a great shower. And lots of wardrobes in my bedroom,
which I like. But my favourite room's where I read, watch TV or talk
to friends.
Woman: Have you got everything you need for your new flat?
Man: I think so!
Woman: It's lucky the people who lived there before left their carpets. Did
you find somewhere to put those shelves I gave you? They'll look
good with the curtains from your mum!
Man: They will, thanks!
Woman: I know someone who lives in the same building. He writes articles

Woman: But your new phone doesn't look as good as your other one. Would

Question 20 Twenty. You will hear two colleagues talking about a meeting. How do they feel
after the meeting?
Man: I'm glad we discussed our new work schedule at the meeting.
Woman: Me too. I was worried they might offer us fewer hours, so we'd get
less money.
Man: Yeah, work's always really quiet this time of year. Well, almost
always. I mean, our hours are actually going up, so we'll earn more.
Woman: I can't remember the last time that happened.
Now listen again.

You will hear Larry talking to Cara about a friend's birthday. What present will
each person give?
Larry: It's Sandy's birthday party next week, Cara. Have you got her a
present?
Cara: Yes. I've been talking to some of the other people to make sure we
don't choose the same thing. I decided to get her some paints and
brushes.
Larry: Great idea. I think Anthea's giving her a bracelet, which she made
herself.
Cara: Lovely-Anthea's very artistic. And what about you, Larry?
Larry: Well, I know Sandy loves going to concerts, so I'm getting her a
photo of that band she likes: you know the one - Soloko.
Cara: She'll love that. Kerry had almost the same idea - she's buying the
story that the lead singer wrote about how he became a musician.
Larry: How about Tony - what's he getting her?
Cara: He said he wanted to get her some perfume, but he doesn't have
much money, so he decided to get her something sweet to eat.
Larry: Is Hannah going to the party?
Cara: Of course - she's Sandy's best friend! She's got her a beautiful
leather handbag and showed me a picture of it. It looks really
expensive.
