Listening 1
Joe This train is so slow! I’m going to be late to meet my
friend.
Bess Yes, it is slow, isn’t it? … Well, we’re lucky – we have
seats. A lot of people are standing.
Joe Well, the trains are always busy at this time. People
are going home from work.
Bess I’m not. I’m travelling to work.
Joe But it’s a quarter past five …
Bess Yes … I’m a nurse. I sometimes work in the day, but
this week I’m working in the evenings.
Joe Do you enjoy your work?
Bess Yes, I do, but I’m going to change jobs in a few months
because I want to travel. I’m studying to become an
English teacher and then I hope to go to Japan for a
year and teach English.
Joe Really? I’ve been to Japan lots of times. I’m a flight
attendant. I work for an American airline. When I do
long flights, I stay in the country for a couple of days
before I fly home again.
Bess How wonderful! … Do they serve food on this train?
Joe Just snacks, I think.
Bess I’m going to get a coffee. Would you like one?
Joe No, thanks, but I’d like a packet of crisps. I’m really
hungry. I got on this train four hours ago and I haven’t
eaten anything.
Bess Sure.
Joe Thanks very much. That’s very kind.
Bess That’s fine. I’ll be back in a few minutes.

1
Well, a lot of people like the summer months when it’s light in
the evenings. I do too, but I prefer autumn when it’s still quite
warm and the leaves are a beautiful red and yellow colour. It gets
dark earlier, but I love sitting in front of the fire in the living
room and reading a book.
2
I play football at the park every Sunday afternoon with friends,
which is fun. I cycle to and from work every day. I live about five
kilometres from work, so that’s a lot of cycling. And there’s a
gym at work, which is great and I use that once or twice a week.
So, I do quite a lot, really.
3
Not a lot. I got up quite late. I’m reading a great book at the
moment, so I read that in bed for a couple of hours before I got
up. In the afternoon, I took the bus into town and met some
friends for a coffee. The next day I did housework in the
morning and played tennis in the afternoon.
4
It depends. In the spring, summer and autumn, I cycle. It’s great,
because it’s cheap, it’s fast, and it’s really good exercise. But I
don’t like using my bike in winter when it’s very cold and windy,
so I usually get the bus then.
5
It’s called One Day In Winter. It’s about a murder in a haunted
house. A friend gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago. I’ve
read two or three novels by the same writer, but this one’s
definitely the most exciting.
