Part 1.
I have always enjoyed walking. When I was boy, I used to go walking at weekends with my
father. We went camping and climbing together. I try to visit a new place every year. Last year, I
decided to walk a path in Spain called El Camino del Rey, which means the King's way. It is one of the
highest and most dangerous footpaths in Europe. It used to be very safe but now it is falling down. I
took a train to the village of El Chorro and started to walk towards the mountains. I was very excited.
Then the adventure began. The path was about three feet wide and there were holes in it. It used to
have a handrail but not any more. I didn't know what to do- should I go on my hands and knees, or
stand up? I decided to stand up and walk very slowly. At times, the path was only as wide as my two
boots. I stopped to have a rest but there was nowhere to sit.
I began to feel very frightened. It was impossible to look down or look up. I was concentrating so
hard that my body started aching. There was no thrill of danger, no enjoyment of the view. I thought I
was going to die.
I finally managed to get to the end. I was shaking, and I was covered in sweat from heat and fear. I
fell to the ground, exhausted.
PART 2: (Conversation)

JANE Hi Tim! (Tim: Jane.) How are you? (Tim: Fine.) I'd been wondering when I'd run into
you. Have you been here long?
TIM I arrived yesterday, on Sunday. How about you?
JANE I got here a few days ago, on Saturday. No - wait a minute, what's today? – Sorry,
Friday, not Saturday.
TIM But we didn't have to be here till today.
JANE Yes, I know, but I wanted to get my things moved into my room, and just take a look
around. So, did you decide to do English in the end?
TIM No, I changed my mind and opted for history instead. And you're doing biology, if
I remember correctly.
JANE Yes, although to start with I couldn't decide between that and geography.
TIM How much reading have you got? I was given an amazingly long list of books to read.
 See!
JANE Wow, it does look pretty long.
TIM Well, I counted 57. I could hardly believe it! What's your list like?
JANE Well, it's not as long as yours, but it's still pretty big. There are 43. I don't know
how I'm going to get through them all.
TIM Well you don't have to read them all this week! You just have to stay ahead of the
lectures and seminars. Have you got your class schedule yet?
JANE Yeah. It came with the reading list. When's your first lecture?
TIM Tuesday. How about you?
JANE The day after. It's my busiest day; I've got two lectures in the morning and one in
the afternoon.
JANE It's going to be different from school, isn't it!
TIM Yeah, particularly the lectures. Have you got any special strategy for listening to lectures?
JANE Well I'm going to use a cassette recorder and record them all.
TIM What! Are you allowed to?
JANE Sure. Lots of people do it nowadays. It means you can listen to the lectures all over again
later, and make really good notes.
TIM I couldn't do that. I like to take notes as I'm listening. I usually find I get all the important
points. Reading is different of course. My approach is to skim the book first to see what's
important and what isn't. It saves hours of time.
JANE But what if you miss something?
TIM You don't mean you're going to read every word, do you?
JANE Well, that's what I usually do.
TIM Well, that's up to you, but I think you're crazy!
JANE What's your first lecture on, anyway?
TIM Oh, it's a lecture on the French Revolution.
JANE The French Revolution! How boring!
TIM It's not boring at all! It was an amazing period of history. It changed everything in
Europe. So what's your first lecture about?
JANE It's about animal behaviour. It sounds really interesting.
TIM Look, I was on my way to the library. I'm going to get some of these books out and start
reading for the first essay I've got to write.
JANE And what have you got to write about?
TIM Well, you'll never believe it, I think our professor must have a sense of humour. He's
given us the title "Why study history?"
JANE That's a good one. When you find the answer, let me know!
TIM I'm going to enjoy writing it. Have you been given any writing assignments yet?
JANE Yes, I've got to write about animal language.
TIM Hmm! That sounds a challenge. I suppose you'll be off to the zoo to do field research.

Part 3
Man: Hi, Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted, and . . . Hey, wow!? Where did you
get all of this stuff?
Woman: I bought it. So, what do you think of my new entertainment center? And the widescreen
TV . . .
Man: Bought it?
Woman: . . . and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the
house with this one.
Man: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad
again, did you?
Woman: Of course not. I got it with this!
Man: This? Let me see that . . . Have you been using Dad's credit card again?
Woman: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card.
Man: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these?
Woman: I got an application in the mail.
Man: Well, why did you get one in the first place?
Woman: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control
spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash . . . like the plane ticket I got recently.
Man: What plane ticket?
Woman: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed
some new clothes for that so . . .
Man: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've
spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending . . . as I can see
here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the
rates, well, just jump!
Woman: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit . . .
Man: . . . of $20,000?
Woman: No, no quite that high. Anyway, . . .
Man: I've heard enough.
Woman: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday
present. A new MP3 player . . .
Man: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student
credit card is a bad idea, but this is ridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your
credit card bill?
Woman: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming up in a week.
Man: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come
up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do.
