TEST 1 : SCRIPTS

NARRATOR: You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to

answer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions

and questions and you will have a chance to check your work. All the recordings will

be played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test you’ll be given

10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to Section 1.

SECTION 1

You’ll hear a swimming instructor talking to the father of one of his pupils. First,

you’ll have some time to look at questions 1-6.

[20 seconds]

You’ll see that there is an example which has been done for you. On this occasion

only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

DAVE: Hello. Is that Mr Henderson?

BILL:

Yes, this is Bill Henderson speaking.

DAVE: Hi, this is Dave Bush, your son’s swimming instructor.

BILL:

Oh, hi. Jack’s made good progress since last term, hasn’t he?

DAVID: Yes, but I want to talk to you about Jack’s swimming lessons for next term.

NARRATOR: The instructor wants to discuss lessons for next term, so C is the correct　answer.

Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will　not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

DAVE: Hello. Is that Mr Henderson?

BILL:

Yes, this is Bill Henderson speaking.

DAVE: Hi, this is Dave Bush, your son’s swimming instructor.

BILL:

Oh, hi. Jack’s made good progress since last term, hasn’t he?

DAVID: Yes, but I want to talk to you about Jack’s swimming lessons for next term.

BILL:

He’s very keen to continue.

DAVE: Good. You know, Jack’s quite shy, and he has taken quite some time to settle

in to the way we do things here; he also hasn’t performed that well as a competitive

swimmer, but, I must say, he’s been an absolute role model for the other

children, especially the ones who have only just started swimming with us.

BILL: Glad to hear it.

DAVE: Now, about next term’s lessons. I’m afraid we’ve had to change the day.

BILL:

That’s a pity; Friday was good.

DAVE: Yes, that’s what a lot of parents have said but we have to move to Monday –

we would have preferred Tuesday but that’s not available - Monday is the only

day on offer.

BILL:
