Many people have got interesting hobbies. For example, I’ve got
friends who collect black and white photos from the sixties. My sister
enjoys cooking dishes from different countries. Last weekend, she
invited me to her house and she and her husband cooked Mexican
food. We had some fantastic tacos.
Other people have more unusual hobbies. For instance, my next-door
neighbour collects old records. She has got a lot of vinyl records in
a special room next to her bedroom. Of course, she also has a very
old record player and really loves listening to that music. She spends
hours listening to Elvis Presley’s songs! She just adores him. The
funny thing is that she never listens to any modern piece of music.
She doesn’t even know what Coldplay is!

was it?
Malcolm It was my idea. Last year I was on holiday in the USA and
watched a similar programme. I liked it and thought we
could bring it to the UK, so I talked to George, the director,
and we started working.
Sarah Why is the programme so successful?
Malcolm For two reasons: first because the participants are really
talented and secondly, because they are very carefully
selected, so every programme is an unforgettable show.
Sarah How are the participants chosen?
Malcolm There are auditions every Monday and hundreds of young
people come to show how they dance or sing, but only a
few are good enough for the programme, so a group of
specialists listen to them and watch them dance, they
choose the best ones and give them a few pieces of advice

who was going to have a shower. That was very strange
because my brother is never at home in the afternoon.

Jane Of course I did, and he said he had to meet some
classmates to do some work together, so I believed him.
Marcus And then what happened?
Jane I laid the table and began to watch my favourite
programme when suddenly I heard a loud noise. I went out
to the garden to make sure the dog was all right and saw
all my friends and family there. They began to sing, ‘Happy
Birthday’, and then I had a great surprise.
Marcus What surprise?
Jane They took me to the garage and I couldn’t believe my
eyes! There was a pink car there and it was mine! It was
my birthday present! I was so happy …

a drawing in a bottle and wants to meet the boy who made
the drawing?
Tom No, I didn’t, but last Sunday I read a lovely story in the
newspaper. It was about a boy in Liverpool who had a dog.
The Labrador was usually noisy and loved playing with the
boy in the garden, but last week the boy saw that it was too
quiet and often disappeared in the garden. Nobody knew
where it went.
Meg Did the family look for the dog?
Tom Of course, they did. Yesterday morning the boy found the dog
behind some thick bushes. It was taking care of a baby cat!
Meg A baby cat?
Tom Yes! Isn’t it nice? A big dog taking care of a small cat … When
the boy, Martin was his name I think, saw the dog with the
cat, he quickly called his parents and told them what was
happening. Then they took a few photos of the two animals.
The photos illustrate the article in the paper. Sometimes
animals teach us unforgettable lessons.
Meg And what did Martin do with the cat?
Tom He kept it, of course. Now it’s another member of his family.
The cat loves playing with the dog, but the dog often gets
tired and hides under Martin’s bed to relax. As you can
imagine, the first day, Martin’s mum told her son that she
was too busy to take care of the cat, but then she fell in love
with the cat.

Reporter So, Richard, how long have you been a scriptwriter?
Richard Well, I wrote my first script when I was a teenager;
it was for a school play actually. That is for more than
eleven years.
Reporter What kind of films do you prefer?
Richard I love action films with lots of special effects and stunts.
The dialogues in them are short and require great
imagination. It’s not easy to write that kind of thing.
Reporter Where do you get your inspiration?
Richard I used to play with robots when I was a little child and
when I remember those days, I often get good ideas.
You know, UFOs, spaceships, aliens and humans trying
to defend the planet. I just love it!
Reporter What’s the most difficult part of writing a film script?
Richard I think it’s getting the inspiration. If your idea is good,
you will always find the words to express it, but if you
don’t have any ideas, there will be no script.
Reporter Have your meetings here in Los Angeles been
successful?

08 Audioscript
Sarah Good morning, Malcolm. Thank you for receiving us in
this studio.
Malcolm Hello, Sarah. It’s a pleasure to talk to you.
Sarah We would like to know about ‘Talents On’. Whose idea
was it?
Malcolm It was my idea. Last year I was on holiday in the USA
and watched a similar programme. I liked it and thought
we could bring it to the UK, so I talked to George, the
director, and we started working.
Sarah Why is the programme so successful?
Malcolm For two reasons: first because the participants are really
talented and secondly, because they are very carefully
selected, so every programme is an unforgettable show.
Sarah How are the participants chosen?
Malcolm There are auditions every Monday and hundreds of
young people come to show how they dance or sing,
but only a few are good enough for the programme, so
a group of specialists listen to them and watch them
dance, they choose the best ones and give them a few
pieces of advice on how to improve their performances.
Then these participants are invited to the Friday show.
Sarah How many participants are invited each Friday?
Malcolm Between eight and ten, depending on the show.
Sarah Do the people who are not selected get angry?
Malcolm No, they are usually given clear reasons why they can’t
be part of the show and they understand they should
work harder.
Sarah So we could say that …

Marcus So, Jane, it was your birthday yesterday. What was your
party like?
Jane Oh, it was great! I arrived home earlier than usual to get
everything ready, you know, the sandwiches, snacks and
drinks, and when I opened the door, I saw my brother,
who was going to have a shower. That was very strange
because my brother is never at home in the afternoon.
Marcus Didn’t you ask him why he was there?
Jane Of course I did, and he said he had to meet some
classmates to do some work together, so I believed him.
Marcus And then what happened?
Jane I laid the table and began to watch my favourite
programme when suddenly I heard a loud noise. I went
out to the garden to make sure the dog was all right and
saw all my friends and family there. They began to sing,
‘Happy Birthday’, and then I had a great surprise.
Marcus What surprise?
Jane They took me to the garage and I couldn’t believe my
eyes! There was a pink car there and it was mine! It was
my birthday present! I was so happy …
Marcus I can imagine … So now you go to university in your car
every day, I guess.
Jane No, of course not. I take the bus. I only use the car to go
out at weekends. I’m a green person.
Marcus If I had a car, I would use it every day … Well, in fact,
I shouldn’t, should I?

10 Audioscript
Meg  id you read the story about the Japanese girl who found
D
a drawing in a bottle and wants to meet the boy who made
the drawing?
Tom No, I didn’t, but last Sunday I read a lovely story in the
newspaper. It was about a boy in Liverpool who had a dog.
The Labrador was usually noisy and loved playing with the
boy in the garden, but last week the boy saw that it was too
quiet and often disappeared in the garden. Nobody knew
where it went.
Meg Did the family look for the dog?
Tom Of course, they did. Yesterday morning the boy found the dog
behind some thick bushes. It was taking care of a baby cat!
Meg A baby cat?
Tom Yes! Isn’t it nice? A big dog taking care of a small cat … When
the boy, Martin was his name I think, saw the dog with the
cat, he quickly called his parents and told them what was
happening. Then they took a few photos of the two animals.
The photos illustrate the article in the paper. Sometimes
animals teach us unforgettable lessons.
Meg And what did Martin do with the cat?
Tom He kept it, of course. Now it’s another member of his family.
The cat loves playing with the dog, but the dog often gets
tired and hides under Martin’s bed to relax. As you can
imagine, the first day, Martin’s mum told her son that she
was too busy to take care of the cat, but then she fell in love
with the cat.

06 Audioscript
Lilly  I had a great time on the farm!
Dad  Really? Tell me, what did you enjoy the most?
Lilly  Playing with the animals. I played with the dogs and the
ducks every morning. Tastan was my favourite. He’s the
most intelligent dog I have ever seen. He woke me up in the
morning and watched TV with me in the evening. He liked
watching my favourite programme!
Dad  And was there an animal that you didn’t like?
Lilly  Sure! Elio, the pig, was the worst of all. He is the dirtiest! He
eats what he finds! On Thursday, he came into my bedroom
and found a small box of chocolates. He ate the chocolates
and part of the box too!
Dad  That doesn’t sound very nice, does it? And what about the
other animals?
Lilly  I liked the cows too. They looked clever and they are not
clumsy like the pig.
Dad  Did your grandma like the birthday present you gave her?
Lilly  Yes, she loved the blouse, but it was a bit too big for her, so
Mum’s going to change it for a smaller size.

11 Audioscript
Reporter So, Dr Barnes, when was this zoo opened?
Dr Barnes It was opened five years ago by Members of Parliament.

Reporter Is it more important than the London Zoo?
Dr Barnes I can’t say if it’s more important than the London Zoo.
All zoos are important. This one is just different. It has
only got endangered animals. If you visit the zoo, you will
not see a monkey or a camel. You will see panda bears,
a gorilla, a rhinoceros …
Reporter Have you been here since the zoo opened?
Dr Barnes Yes, I have. I have been the director since the very
first moment.
Reporter Are children allowed to touch the animals?
Dr Barnes No, I’m afraid our animals can’t be touched. They are
animals, not people, and they have special days. They
may be nervous or excited and this may be dangerous.
We should teach children to respect animals.
Reporter Does the zoo receive any money from charity
organizations?
Dr Barnes Yes, the zoo is a charity organization. Money is donated
by different people or companies and we use it to feed
the animals and take care of them. There are a lot of
doctors who work here and a lot of volunteers as well.
Reporter If we want to become a volunteer, what should we do?
Dr Barnes First, visit our website and complete the application
form there. We will phone you and invite you to do a
course on animal preservation. After that, you can start
working for the zoo!
