C. LISTENING

You will hear a conversation between a boy catted Lucas and a girl catted Claire who have just been to a
concert by a band edited Candy Hoss.

Lucas: I’m really glad my mum let me go to the concert - I didn’t think she would. But
there were lots of people our age! What did you think of it, Claire?
Claire: Well, I wasn't sure at first if I could go, but luckily Mum and Dad bought me the
ticket for my birthday and wasn’t it great? Our seals were only ten rows from the front!
We got a great view!
Lucas: Well, I was worried about the concert when I saw Candy Floss on TV last month -
one band member had just left and they weren't brilliant. But I don’t think they've ever
 performed as well as they did tonight.
Claire: Mmm - and what about their dancing? I thought they needed to do some more
work on it when I saw them on TV during the summer, but tonight it was exciting!
Lucas: You notice that because you go to dance classes! I wasn't paying attention –
probably too busy looking at their clothes! The dresses they had on in the first half
were OK, I suppose, but what were those silver things they changed into after that?
Claire: Oh, they always wear those during their concerts -1 think they looked really
original
Lucas: Really awful, you mean! Anyway, what about getting their new album? I’m not
sure I can afford It now ...
Claire: There've been lots of reviews on the Internet, and some said it isn’t very good,
but the songs they did in the concert were great - and I’ve got all their other albums,
so it’ll add to my collection.
Lucas: You should, then.
Claire: Mmm - but did I tell you I've read the main singer’s thinking of leaving?
Lucas: Well, if the fans think someone's leaving the band, they might not buy tickets for
the next concert - that means plenty left for us to buy! I'd like to see the band again,
wouldn’t you?
Claire: Absolutely!
