Ž PART 3 Listen and complete the sentences
1/ That’s what I’m about to do. I went to information and they told me it was at the end of this corridor. Then
we have to turn left and immediately right. That should lead us to the exit where opposite, we should find the
entrance to ground-level main hall. It's a big old red building. From there, we need to go to the first level and then
follow the signs. Apparently, it's the second office opposite the foyer. It would be pretty hard to miss.
2/ Well, how about I go to the canteen and get us something while you make your way to the main hall. I'm sure
there's going to be quite a wait. There always is. I can meet you there.
3/ Yes. That’s perfect. Here, take two pounds. That should cover it. If it's more, I'll give it to you when you get
back. I only have a 20 and you know that they get cranky if you give them large notes.
4/ What with… oh the food. Well, there wasn't much left. So I got you a cheese and tomato sandwich and water.
5/ Okay, so I’ll have to take the card to the environmental science faculty and get the card stamped, return to
Administration in the main hall and organize your fees.

PART 1 Two students discuss a project on international festivals with their tutor
Tutor: Good morning. Shall we start by looking at the topic of your project? So what have you decided to
research?
Student 1: Well, we thought we'd compare festivals in different countries and see if any of them are similar.
Student 2: Yeah, you know, like the carnival celebrations in South America and the water festival in Thailand.
Tutor: Okay, what exactly are you planning to study? The origins of the festivals? The types of celebration?
People's attitudes towards the festivals?
Student 1: We were planning to look at (1)the origins of the festivals and the time of year they're celebrated.
We're thinking of looking at the connection between the seasons in different countries and the actual
festivals. And then looking for similarities between countries that are quite far apart.
Tutor: Well, that sounds interesting. Did you say you've already started researching into the carnival?
Student 2: Yes. We've already found (2) a connection between the carnival and the seasons. For instance, some
researchers say that a very long time ago in Europe, people used to put on colorful masks and costumes
at the beginning of the year to celebrate the end of winter and then they could get ready for spring.
Tutor: Right? And then what happened?
Student 1: Well as the years went by… The purpose of the carnival changed and it became (3)a religious festival.
These days, there are big carnival celebrations in (4)countries all across the world like Brazil, and India,
and Indonesia. But an interesting thing we discovered is that in some countries people celebrate the
carnival by throwing water at each other in the street. Well, we thought that obviously this is because
Carnival, celebrated at (5)the hottest time of the year just before the rainy season. So splashing people
with water is a very good way of cooling them down.
--------------------------------------------
Tutor: Hmm. Yes, that makes sense. Did you look into any other festivals?
Student 2: Yes, we did. (6)What we're planning to do is more research into water festivals. We found that in
Asian countries, where there aren't any carnival celebrations, there are still festivals that involve people
splashing each other with water. Actually, we found references to them in Burma, Thailand, Vietnam,
China and Japan, but we also found a reference to a water festival in (7)Mexico. So we thought we'd
look into that a bit more and see if we can find any similarities between these countries. Uhhh…. I
mean, we realize that water is more than just a way of cooling people down in hot weather. It also has
a lot of different religious meanings and purposes. For instance, we found that in some societies water
can mean life or wealth or just (8)luck.
Student 1: Yes. And another thing we found out is that these water festivals often celebrate the beginning of the
(9)new year, just like the original celebrations, hundreds of years ago before the carnival. So, umm…
up to now we found that the carnival and the seasons are linked by (10)ancient traditions and the
water plays an important part in the celebrations.

PART 2 Two students talking about university clubs and societies

Student 1: Hello. Are you the person to ask about joining a club?
Student 2: Yes, I am. What would you like to know?
Student 1: Well, I'm interested in several things. But I'd like to know more about the different clubs and how
much they cost. I'm looking for a small club that's not too expensive.
Student 2: Okay. Have a look at this table. You can see the names of the clubs, the fees and the number of
members. I'm afraid they aren't in any order. If you look at the top of the list, the first club is table
tennis. That's one of our new clubs.
Student 1: All right. So the (11)table tennis club costs 20 pounds. That's quite expensive.
Student 2: Yes. It is a bit expensive. The cross country cycling club is cheaper though. Membership fees are
only 15 pounds, but on the other hand, it's got (12) a hundred members.
Student 1: The film and drama club costs a lot, doesn't it?
Student 2: Yes, 50 pounds is a lot and that's probably why it only has (13) 12 members. Huhhh.. Is there any
other club you think looks interesting? Look at the next one. (14) Street dance? Have you ever done
any street dance?
Student 1: No, I haven't really.
Student 2: It's the cheapest. It only costs five pounds.
Student 1: Hmmm …
Student 2: Okay, shall we start with your interests. What do you like doing best?
Student 1: Well, I like (15)photography, I've got a professional camera. So I take it quite seriously but I can't
really imagine belonging to a club to take photographs. I usually go on long walks on my own and
take photos. So I like photography but I wouldn't want to join a club to do it.
Student 2: Okay. So what else do you like doing? Running?
Student 1: No, no not running and I like walking, but I hate running. I'm afraid the running club isn't for me or
the cycling club.
Student 2: And film and drama?
Student 1: Uhhh.. No, it's far too expensive, but I do like (16) Yoga. I've practised yoga on and off for years. How
many members does the yoga club have?
Student 2: It's always a small group. A lot of people sign up at the beginning of term, but they stop going after a
few weeks. So they're left with a few regular members every year.
Student 1: That sounds good. I think I'd like to join the yoga club. And what about the contemporary dance
club? Is it expensive?
Student 2: Contemporary dance? No, it's not expensive. 10 pounds for the term. Do you like dance?
Student 1: Well, I've never tried contemporary dance, but I do like (17) jazz and tap dance. How often does the
group meet?
--------------------------------------------
Student 2: So can I have your full name, please?
Student 1: Victoria Mandeville.
Student 2: M A N D A V I L…
Student 1: No no. It's (18)MAN DEV I double-l E.
Student 2: Double-L E. Thank you. And how old are you?
Student 1: 19.
Student 2: And your address?
Student 1: 57 (19) BURY gardens, Atherton park, Manchester M46.
Student 2: How do you spell Berry? B-E-double-R-Y.
Student 1: No, it's B-U-R-Y.
Student 2: Right BURY. And do you have a contact number?
Student 1: Yes, my mobile is (20) 0-7942-573-279.
Student 2: 0794, two five, seven, three, two, seven nine.
Student 1: Yes. That's right. Is that all?
Student 2: Huhhh.. one more thing? Do you have an email address?
PART 3 The first and the third between two students, and the second between a student and a clerk.
Student 1: I'm looking for the main hall.
Student 2: So am I. Are you going there to (21)register for next year?
Student 1: Yes. I was told to go to administrations and fill in an application form.

It would be pretty hard to miss.
Student 1: That sounds easy. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Well since we're both heading in that direction,
let's go together.
Student 2: Hopefully, it won't take too long. I haven't had anything to eat and I'm starving.
Student 1: Me too!
Student 2: Well, (23)how about I go to the canteen and get us something while you make your way to the main
hall. I'm sure there's going to be quite a wait. There always is. I can meet you there.
Student 1: Sounds like a good plan.
Student 2: What do you want me to get you?
Student 1: Ummm… How about a chicken and salad roll and a drink?
Student 2: Okay, what if they don't have a chicken and salad roll?
Student 1: Anything similar like ham and salad or just plain salad and cheese? Oh, And don't forget the drink. I
feel so dehydrated.
Student 2: No problem. What type of drink?
Student 1: I don't know.
Student 2: How about a coke?
Student 1: No, nothing like that, something healthier.
Student 2: An orange juice?
Student 1: They're usually full of sugar, unless you get it freshly squeezed.
Student 2: (24)Water.

PART 4 A pirate story, William Kidd
William Kidd, who is better known by the name Captain Kidd was a (31)17th century British privateer and semi-
legendary pirate who became celebrated in (32)English Literature, was one of the most colorful outlaws of all time.
Fortune seekers have haunted his (33)buried treasure in vain through succeeding centuries. Kidd's early career is
obscure. It's believed he went to sea as a youth. After 1689, he was sailing as (34) a legitimate privateer for Great
Britain against the French, in the West Indies, and of the coast of North America. In 1690, he was an established
sea captain in shipown in (35)New York City, where he owned property. At various times he was dispatched by both
New York and Massachusetts to rid the coast of enemy privateers. In London, in 1695, he received a royal
commission to apprehend (36)Pirates, who molested the ships of the East India Company in the Red Sea, and in
the Indian Ocean. Kidd sailed from Deptford on his ship, The Adventure Galley on February 27, 1696, called at
Plymouth and arrived at New York City on July 4th to take on more men. Avoiding the normal pirate haunts, he
arrived by February 1697 at the Camorro islands of East Africa. It was apparently, some time after his arrival there
that Kidd, still without having taken a prize ship, decided to turn to (37)piracy. In August 1697, he made an
unsuccessful attack on ships sailing with mocha coffee from Yemen, but later took several small ships; his refusal
two months later to attack a Dutch ship nearly got his crew to mutiny and in an angry exchange kidd mortally
wounded his gunner William Moore. Kidd took his most valuable prize at the Armenian ship, cued a merchant in
January 1698 and scuttled his own unseaworthy Adventure Galley. When he reached Angila in the West Indies
April 1699, he learnt that he had been denounced as a pirate. He left the quarter merchant at the island of
Hispaniola, where the ship was possibly scuttled. In any case, it disappeared with its questionable booty and sailed
in a newly purchased ship the Antonio to New York City, where he tried to persuade the Earl of Bellomont, then
Colonial Governor New York of his innocence. Bellomont, however, sent him to England for trial and he was found
guilty, May eighth, and ninth, 1701, of the murder of Moore and on five indictments of piracy. Important evidence
concerning two of the piracy cases was suppressed at the trial and some observers later questioned whether the
(39)evidence was sufficient for a guilty verdict. Kidd was (38)hanged and some of his treasure was recovered from
Gardener's Island off Long Island. Proceeds from his effects and goods taken from the Antonio were donated to
(40)charity. In years that followed the name of Captain Kidd has become Inseparable from the romanticized concept
of the swashbuckling pirate of western fiction. Among other stories, concerning caches of treasure he supposedly
buried is ekka alam pose, the goldbug.
