There are four parts to the test. You will hear each part
twice. For each part of the test, there will be time for you
to look through the questions and time for you to check
your answers.
Look at the instruction to Part 1. There are seven
questions in this part. For each question, there are three
pictures and a short recording. Choose the correct
picture and put a tick in the box below it.
Before we start, here is an example:
0 Where did the girl leave her phone?
Girl: I can’t find my phone. I might have left it at home.
Boy: But I remember you were using it in the car on the
way to the restaurant. Maybe you left it in the car?
Girl: Oh, I remember. I texted Max just before we left the
restaurant.
The girl left her phone at the restaurant. The third
picture is correct. So there is a tick in box C.
Now we are ready to start.
1 Which dress does the girl ask for?
Girl: I’d like to see the dress in the window,
please.
Salesperson: Which one are you interested in? The
blue one with the flowers?
Girl: No, the blue dress without any sleeves.
Salesperson: Oh yes. The one next to the handbag.
Now listen again.
2 What was disappointing about the restaurant?
Jane: So what did you think of the new Italian
restaurant? I heard the food is excellent there.
Phil: Well, the spaghetti was really good, though the
portion size was a bit small. But that was
actually good because I had enough room for
dessert. I ordered cheesecake which was really
good.
Jane: And what about the service?
Phil: Our waiter was trying his best, but it was really
crowded that night. For such an expensive
restaurant, I expected the service to be a lot
better.
Now listen again.
3 What time will the flight arrive?
Good morning passengers. This is your captain
speaking. I’d like to welcome you to Flight 405 to New
York City. Due to weather conditions, we are expecting
to reach our destination about 45 minutes late but we’ll
be getting in just in time for breakfast. The time in New
York City will be 6 am.
Now listen again.
4 Which lecture will be given tonight?
We are sorry to announce that tonight’s lecture on
Modern Sculpture has been cancelled. You may receive
a refund for your ticket on your way out, or you may
remain and attend the lecture on African Art instead.
Alternatively, you may attend Thursday’s lecture on
Medieval Architecture.
Now listen again.

5 Why is Tammy not going to school?
Mr. Stephens: This is Tammy’s father. I’m sorry,
but Tammy doesn’t feel well today
and won’t be coming to school.
School secretary: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Is her
back bothering her again?
Mr. Stephens: No. She is having a bit of pain in her
leg, which she injured in the
basketball game yesterday, but the
main problem is that she is running a
temperature. We think she may have
flu.
Now listen again.
6 How did the woman learn about the bus crash?
Woman: Have you heard? There’s been a bus crash on
the M70.
Man: Really? Didn’t hear anything on the radio while
driving home.
Woman: I just read about it. Turn on the TV – maybe
we’ll see something about it.
Now listen again.
7 What does the man need to get?
Woman: We’re running out of eggs. Can you get some
on your way home?
Man: We’re out of orange juice too. I’ll pick up a
carton.
Woman: Actually, there’s an extra carton in the
cupboard. But what about milk and some
bread?
Man: There’s enough milk but I’ll pick up some
bread.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part 1.
Turn to Part 2, questions 8 to 13. You will hear a
professional footballer giving a talk at a school. For
each question, put a tick in the correct box.
You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions for
Part 2. Now we are ready to start.
Hello everybody. Seeing you reminds me a lot of myself
when I was your age and dreaming of making it as a
professional footballer. I’ve always loved the sport but never
believed that one day I’d be signing a contract with
Riverside United.
So how did I get started? I can’t remember a time when
I didn’t play football. Growing up in a house with four older
brothers, I was probably kicking a ball before I was walking.
At school, I was always on the football pitch. I think a lot of
kids looked up to me because I was one of the best players
on the team. So, anyway, at about the age of 12 one of the
coaches at school told me that I had potential, but I would
have to focus all my free time on the sport if I was really
serious about playing professionally. That’s when I joined
my local club, much like yours, and football became my life.

My big break came at 14 when I was spotted by John
Denny, the assistant academy director at Riverside United.
I was offered a place at the team’s football academy. At first
I thought it was going to be a problem because the academy
wasn’t near my home. There are strict rules, and if you’re
under 12, you must live within an hour’s travelling distance.
Luckily, players aged 13-16 can live 90 minutes from the
academy. My parents agreed if I promised to keep up with
my schoolwork.
I’ve been with Riverside United for over three years now. It’s
hard work and takes a lot of commitment. That means giving
up a lot of things like hanging out with friends. We train
three times a week – including Saturdays – and Sundays
are spent playing matches against other academy teams.
And aside from regular schoolwork, players get football
homework such as training drills. You’ve got to work hard to
get into an academy but even harder to stay in. If the club
isn’t happy with you, your placement isn’t renewed. I had
friends who had to leave and that was upsetting. You
become like a family and it’s hard when someone leaves.
At 16, I was offered a scholarship which allowed me to live
closer to the club. Less travelling time meant more time for
the sport. Next week, I’m going to be signing a professional
contract. Most players have to wait until they are 19 before
finding out whether they have a future with the club, so
I consider myself fortunate. My parents, on the other hand,
think I’m too young to make a commitment like this, but this
is what I’ve been working towards and I don’t want to pass
up this opportunity.
Anyway, I’d like to wish you all good luck. Maybe one day
it’ll be your turn to sign a contract with a club! So what
I want to say to you all in conclusion is if you have a dream,
don’t give up on it. But be realistic about your abilities and
limitations. Keep all options open.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part 2.
Turn to Part 3, questions 14-19. You will hear a recorded
message about the Derby Art Centre. For each question,
fill in the missing information in the numbered space.
You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 3.
Now we are ready to start.
Thank you for calling the Derby Art Centre. We’re closed
right now. Opening hours are from 9 in the morning to 6.00
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays and
Thursdays, the centre remains open until 9.30 in the
evenings.
We offer a wide range of courses in many art forms,
including painting, photography, ceramics and sculpture.
This year, due to popular demand, we’ve also opened up
a course in jewellery making. More details will soon be
available.
Our staff are a team of dedicated and experienced teachers.
Classes are small – no more than 15 students a class – in
order to allow as much individual attention as possible.

That is the end of Part 3.
Turn to Part 4, questions 20-25. Look at the six
sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation
between Lucy and John about a summer job. Decide if
each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, put
a tick in the box under A for YES. If it is not correct, put
a tick in the box under B for NO.
You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for
Part 4.
Now we are ready to start.
Lucy: Hey John. I heard you were working at the pool
again this summer. So, how’s it going?
John: Yeah, alright. It’s my third summer working here so
I’m pretty used to things. What about you? Heard
you might be joining us this summer.
Lucy: That’s right. I finally got my Red Cross lifeguard
certification. I had to wait till I turned 15 to take the
test. I was really nervous and didn’t expect to pass
the first time.
John: Well, I’m glad you did. It will be great having you on
staff.
Lucy: So, you must like working here if it’s your third
summer.
John: I can’t complain. Probably could find a better paying
job if I looked around, but on the other hand, the
hours are great – just one five-hour shift a day.
Lucy: Sounds like a pretty easy job.
John: Well, yes and no. The job can actually be boring –
you know standing and watching people splashing
around in the pool, but their lives are in your hands,
and at any moment something can go wrong. It’s
a lot of responsibility when you think about it.
Lucy: I know … So, how are the other lifeguards? Do you
guys get along well?
John: Look, with a couple of exceptions, they’re a great
bunch. I can even call a few of them good friends of
mine. We all try and help each other out – like if
someone needs to take a day off, someone else will
step in and cover their shift.

Lucy: Are people usually good about that? I mean –
taking over shifts at the last minute?
John: Yeah, just let Dave know if you need to change
a shift. He’s in charge of scheduling and tries to
meet everyone’s needs. He tries his best, and for
the most part it’s been OK. But you know, there are
always a few who have what to say. Anyway, when
are you starting?
Lucy: Next week. I could have started this week, but
I promised my boss I’d work an extra week before
I leave.
John: Brilliant! And if you need to ask anything before
then, just get in touch.
Lucy: Thanks! I probably will.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part 4.
