WOMAN: Well, what's the weather like where you're going? MAN: Well, it's really hot in the summer, so I'm going to buy some short sandals and a few t-shirts. WOMAN: What about the rest of the year? MAN: People say the fall can still be warm until November, so I'm going to buy some jeans and a few casual shirts. WOMAN: Well, you need any warm clothes for the winter? MAN: Well, the weather doesn't get too cold, but it often snows in the mountains, so I'm going to buy a couple of warm sweaters, a jacket, and a hat. I don't have room in my suitcase to pack a coat, so I'm going to wait until I get there and buy it when I really need it. WOMAN: Are you going to take anything else? MAN: They say it rains cats and dogs in the spring, but again, I'll probably just wait and pick up a raincoat or an umbrella later on. But I'm going to take a good pair of shoes because I plan on walking to and from school every day.
2 WOMAN: Do you need any clothing for formal occasions? MAN: Well, you never know when you might need something on the spur of the moment for a wedding or maybe someone's graduation or a nice date. So I'll probably take some nice slacks, a dress shirt, and a couple crazy ties or two. WOMAN: That makes sense. MAN: And I'll just rent a tuxedo if I need anything more formal. Hey, maybe I'll get married. WOMAN: You? Married? MAN: What are you trying to say? WOMAN: I just can't imagine you getting decked out in a tuxedo for any formal occasion. I mean, for high school graduation, you were an old pair of jeans and tennis shoes. MAN: Hey, there was a reason for that, so let me explain. No, really. See, it goes like this. Part II. You will hear a conversation between a boy and a girl about their planning. Listen carefully and True or False? You will listen twice. (5 pts) 6. They will visit the zoo first in the morning. F 7.

Why don't we first visit the art museum in the morning? BOY: OK, and I like that idea. And where do you want to eat lunch? GIRL: How about going to an Indian restaurant? The guide recommends one downtown, a few blocks from the museum. BOY: Now that sounds great. And after that, what do you think about visiting the zoo? Well, it says here there are some very unique animals not found anywhere else. GIRL: Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not really interested in going there. BOY: Really? GIRL: Yeah, why don't we go shopping instead? There are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up souvenirs. BOY: I don't think that's a good idea. We only have a few traveler's checks left and I only have $50 left in
3 cash. GIRL: No problem. We can use your credit card if they're for my new clothes. BOY: Oh no, I remember the last time you used my credit card for your purchases. GIRL: Oh well, let's take the subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach. BOY: Now that sounds like a wonderful plan.

TRANSCRIPT Ben:   Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself – my name’s Ben and I’d like to tell you about a course you can do on Saturday mornings. I’m from an organisation called ‘Nature’ and we run courses for young people like you to do during the weekends. Now, we know that at school you learn a lot about things like science and maths, but this course is really about giving your youth group the chance to come and find out about wildlife. It’s an area that tends to get forgotten. We usually take groups like yours to a wild place that’s near their home. Sometimes we go to a beach or a lake, but we’ve planned for your group to go to a forest. That’s the closest place for you, and the easiest to get to. Now, we’d like you to come and do some activities with us. You spend six hours each week with us and the course lasts for 12 weeks, depending on the weather. That might sound like a long time, but we think you’ll be sorry when it’s over! Taking part in our activities means you get to do all sorts of things that you wouldn’t normally be allowed to
4 do at home. That includes how to safely climb trees, cut wood and build a fire. While you’re with us, we’ll also show you how to make things out of different materials. On the last course, everyone designed backpacks which they were very pleased with. This time we thought we’d get you to design and make a birdhouse. When it’s finished, you can take it home and show your family. We think you’ll enjoy doing this. Now, any questions …?
