past six (pm) / six fifteen 20 short(s) Audioscript Girl: Did you win
your match last night, André? André: Yes. I’m much
better since I started having tennis lessons with my new teacher, Paul. Girl: How often do
you have lessons? André: Every Wednesday
because the only other day he teaches is Friday and I can’t go then. You like
tennis. Why don’t you come too? Girl: Hmm. How much
are the lessons? That’s the first question my parents will ask! André: I give Paul twelve pounds and he teaches me for
an hour. It’s not expensive. Girl: No. Maria pays
eighteen pounds an hour. André: But she goes to
the tennis club. Paul works at the tennis courts in Gerald Street. Girl: How do you
spell that? André: G E R A L D. Girl: OK. And what
time’s your lesson? Can I come and meet Paul next time? André: Yes. I start at
six fifteen and play until quarter past seven. You can come at the same time. Girl: OK. What should
I wear? André: You don’t need
to wear a tennis dress. Shorts and a T-shirt will be fine. Girl: All right. See
you then. |

(bedrooms) 25 fish / seafood Audioscript This week I’m going to tell
you about my favourite hotel. It’s in the west of Ireland and the best time
to go there is June. I’ve loved this hotel since I was a child. It’s called The White Hotel because it’s always
painted that colour. It’s built on one of the most beautiful islands I have
ever visited – Achill Island. You say ‘Akil’, but it’s spelt A C H I double
L. It’s one of the oldest hotels
in this part of the country. It was built in eighteen fifty-nine and the rich
and famous have enjoyed going there ever since. You can see the sea or
mountains from every room. But it’s difficult to book a bedroom there because
there are only thirty-six of them and the hotel can’t take more than fifty
guests at one time. Visitors also enjoy the hotel
restaurant. People go there from all over the world to eat its fish. It’s
caught that day in the sea round the island. Try it cooked with tomatoes. So, if you want … |

Woman: Now, I want to
tell you about a new school music club. It’ll begin on the fifteenth of
September and there will be classes once a week until December the eighteenth.
Let me check the day … Because
there’s the sports club on Wednesdays, the music
club will be on Thursdays.
It’ll be after school. Your
last lessons finish at ten to four and you can have a break before the music
club because it starts at twenty past
four and ends at five o’clock.
Here’s some information about
the teacher. His name’s Mr Taylor. I’ll spell that for you T-A-Y-L-O-R. You don’t know him because he’s new.
If your parents would like to
phone him, he’s happy for me to give you his phone number. It’s zero-double
seven-nine, three-eight-six, five-two-one.
Oh, you need to know where to
go for the club. It’s going to be in the
library. Use the doors next to the art room because the other doors won’t
be open then.

/ thirty-seven 10 poster
Woman: Hi. Today you’re
going to do your project. It’s called Helping because it’s
about what people do to look after animals.
First, you’re going to do a
drawing. It’s difficult to draw a monkey because they move so much, so you’re
going to draw a tiger.
Water is very important for our
animals, and at ten forty-five you’re going to go with our staff to give some
animals their water. Then, at eleven thirty, you’ll see our youngest animal.
He’s really beautiful; he’s a baby lion. He’s called Sohatu. I’ll spell that
for you, so you can find out more about him on our website. It’s S-O-H-A-T-U.
After that, you’ll see the
dolphins. Some dolphins can live to be sixty years old, but our oldest dolphin
is thirty-seven. He’s about one hundred kilos and two metres long.
At the end of the day, we’ll
give you a present -a poster. You
can also go to the shop and buy perhaps a T-shirt or a toy.

Emin: Hi. I’m phoning
about the football match that we’re going to. It’s on Saturday. But it isn’t in
the City Stadium like the last football match we went to. This one’s in the Bridge Stadium. That’s B-R-I-D-G-E. You know, near the river!
Can you come to my house at
half past two? Then we can go to the match together by bus. Bus number
two-seven-four only goes every thirty minutes, so it’s better for us to get the three-nine-five, which is every ten
minutes.
The tickets are usually ten
pounds, but because my dad’s a member of the football club, we only pay four fifty each. That’s not bad, is it?
It’s going to be a bit cold, so
don’t wear just a jacket – you’ll need a coat. I’m going to wear my red one
because that’s our team’s colour!
Oh, and another thing, bring a
snack because the cafés are expensive. You can get water there for free, so
don’t bring water.
I think that’s everything. Bye!

Woman: Rosie, I’ve found
some information about that dance competition that you’re interested in. It’s
perfect for you because it’s for children who are between thirteen and fifteen.
The competition’s on the fourth
of August, but you’ve got to enter by the twelfth
of July. So you’ve still got over four weeks.
You don’t have to send any
money to enter, just a video. I know
you’ve already got some, but it might be a good idea to make a new one.
Anyway, everything you need to
know is on the website. Write down the address. It’s www dot jittersea dot com.
That’s spelt J-I-double T-E-R-S-E-A.
I also found out where they’re
having the competition. It’s going to be at the college; the one opposite the park. That’s easy for you to get to.
And the best news is about the
prizes. The winner gets a hundred and
seventy-five pounds, and the person who comes second gets one hundred
pounds! That’s a lot!
