Hello. Mats:
Hello, Sarah. It’s Mats. Sarah:
Hi, Mats! How are you? Are you going to come to England in October? Mats:
Yes, I am. I’m really happy. I’m going to visit Manchester. That’s why I’m
phoning. I have some questions. Sarah:
What do you need to know? Mats:
First, what will the weather be like? Will it be cold? Sarah:
Well, it’ll be autumn – the temperature
will be 14 degrees. Mats:
So, what clothes shall I bring? Sarah:
Well, it rains a lot in Manchester, so bring a raincoat. Mats:
OK. Next question. How do I get to Manchester from Heathrow Airport? Sarah:
You can take the underground into the centre of London and then a train from
Euston station. That’s E-U-S-T-O-N. And there’s also a plane from Heathrow to
Manchester. Mats:
Which is the cheaper? Sarah:
The train, I think. It’s £30. Mats:
And finally, can I bring you anything from my country, Sarah? Sarah:
Oh, yes, please! Can you bring me some cheese? I always like food. Mats:
No problem. See you in October. Sarah:

Excuse me, can you tell me about the tours of the castle, please? Man:
Yes, of course. We have three tours a day – at ten a.m., one p.m. and three
p.m. Woman:
Thanks. How long does the tour take? Man:
The normal time is forty-five minutes
but we ask you to arrive fifteen minutes early so we can check how many
people there are. We can’t take more than twenty. Woman:
OK, that’s great. Do you do a family ticket? Man:
We do, it’s twenty-two pounds. Or we have an adult ticket for eight pounds
and it’s five pounds for children. Woman:
Where do I wait for the tour? Man:
You can wait in the café. Show them your ticket and you’ll get a free tea or
soft drink. Woman:
Oh, that’s good. Can I visit other places after the tour? Man:
Yes, you can visit the beautiful Highclere Gardens. Woman:
Sorry, what was the name? Man:
Highclere. That’s H-I-G-H-C-L-E-R-E. Woman:
Thanks, I’ve got that. Man:
In the garden you can see a
six-hundred-year-old bridge and a really famous tree, which is eight hundred years old. Make sure
you don’t miss that! Woman:
Thank you very much. |

July Audioscript Woman:
How do you feel when you have to cook something for friends or family? Do you
feel worried or even afraid? If you do, then our new cooking programme
– Cooking for Beginners – is just for you! Every week, a
famous chef will teach you how to make a different dish. The programme is on every Friday, so you can invite your friends
over on Saturday to try your new dish. Before the programme, we will put a
list of everything you need on our website so you can go shopping and be
ready to watch from three fifteen
until four thirty. Don’t worry if you’re not a good cook – our chefs will
explain things slowly and clearly. There
will be six programmes in total and you will learn how to make more than
twenty dishes, including snacks, main
courses and cakes. So, we hope to find you waiting in your kitchen for
the first programme on the fifth of
July, when Chris White will teach you how to make your fist dish. Happy
cooking! |

Hello. I’m calling about the flat that you have to rent on Green Street. Woman:
Oh yes. Twenty-five A, Green Street? It’s a lovely flat. Man:
How much is it? Woman:
Well, it was eight hundred and
seventy-five pounds a month, but the price has gone down, so now it’s only eight
hundred and twenty-five pounds. That’s a great price. Man:
Is it far from the station? Woman:
You can walk there in fifteen minutes or there’s a bus which takes just five
minutes. Man:
Great. How many bedrooms does it have? Woman:
There are five rooms in total – two
bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. Man:
It’s quite big! Does it have any furniture? Woman:
There’s a really nice table and a sofa,
but there are no beds. Man:
That’s not a problem. The flat sounds perfect. Can I go and see it? Woman:
There are people living there at the moment, but they’re leaving on Friday. Man:

Welcome to York Garden Centre! How can I help you? Boy:
I’m looking for a plant for my mum’s birthday. What’s this one called? Woman:
Sweet William. Some people think its name comes from the writer William
Shakespeare. Boy:
That’s interesting. What colour will the flowers be on this one? Woman:
This type is pink, but they can
also be red or purple. It’ll be very pretty. Boy:
Good. When will the flowers come? Woman: Every spring.
Then you need to cut them before the summer, so they return next year. Boy:
OK. When should I put it outside? Woman:
Well, it’s August now. Wait until September to put it in the
garden. Boy:
How tall will it grow? Woman:
Some types are only fifteen centimetres tall, but in two or three years this
one’ll be forty centimetres tall. Leave space for it! Boy:
I’d like to buy it. How much is it? Woman:
The normal price is ten pounds but
it’s only eight pounds this week because
we have a special discount. Boy:

Good morning students! I hope you’re enjoying your stay here in the
mountains. Now, I’ve got some information about tomorrow’s day trip to North
Lake. The bus is always very busy at this time of year, so we’ll take the train. You’ll see some beautiful countryside on
the journey. To join the trip, please
be here at one fifteen. You can have lunch in the café here at twelve
thirty before we go. When we’re there, you can choose to go walking with me,
or fishing with Mr Thomas. But no swimming – the water’s to cold at this time
of year. Your ticket will cost eight
pounds and you’ll want some money to spend at the shop so bring twelve
pounds, please. Now, this is important. We’ll meet to return to the
station at the end of the day outside the Aster Hotel, next to the lake.
That’s A-S-T-E-R. So, who would like to come? |

Audioscript Man:
Good morning. South Field Farm. How can I help? Girl:
I’m phoning about your job advertisement in this week’s newspaper. Man:
Yes. We’re looking for a student to be a farm worker during the holidays. Girl:
What are the hours? Man:
You’ll start at six-thirty am and
finish at two p.m. There’s a break for lunch at twelve fifteen. Girl:
OK. Are you looking for anything special? Man:
You’ll be working with soft fruit, so it’s important that you’re careful and strong – the boxes get
heavy. Girl:
Is the money good? Man:
Our farm workers usually get three
hundred and twenty-five pounds a week, but in this job you’ll get three hundred pounds a week. Girl:
Why’s that? Man:
Because lunch is included. But you do have to pay for your bus tickets. Girl:
OK. I’d like the job. What should I do now? Man:
You need to send me your details, including your address and phone number,
before the tenth of May. The job
starts on the twenty-fourth of
May. I’ll let you know next week if we need you. |

everyone, and thanks for coming to the cycling club meeting. Now, every year
we enter teams in the Cardiff Bike Race, so here’s some information about
this year’s competition. Pens ready? OK. The race is next week, on the twenty-second
of September. You can’t wear your normal black T-shirts and shorts because
another club uses those colours. We’ll
wear blue instead. Make sure you pack the right ones, please. There’ll be
four teams with three people on each team. Steven, Petra, Luke and Alice –
you’ve been before so you can help the others. On the day, make sure you get
up and have breakfast by seven a.m., so
when the race starts at eight-thirty, you’re ready. At twenty kilometres,
there’ll be a place for snacks, with cake and orange juice. No chocolate, I’m
afraid! Don’t have too much or you’ll feel sick. Last year’s first prize was
cycling shirts. This year, the winners will each get the latest sports watch! Good luck everyone! |
