3 Now look at Part Two. 678910 Pause 05" For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one word, or a number, or a date, or a time. Look at questions 6 – 10 now. You have 10 seconds. Pause 10" You will hear a teacher talking to a group of students about summer jobs. M: Several students from this college went to work for Sunshine Holidays last year and enjoyed it. So I’m going to give you some information about working in their summer camps this year. The camps start on the fifteenth of June so you must be free from then until August the twentieth. Most students then spend September travelling around and having a holiday before they come home. The camps are for children who are between ten and fifteen years old and to work there you have to be nineteen. So that’s OK for most of you. You don’t need to be good at sports or languages but they only want people who can drive. That’s because you’ll take the children out on trips by car. Each week you’ll get sixty-five pounds, so you could save over five hundred pounds during your time there. If you’re interested, you need to write a letter and send it with a photo to Sunshine Holidays. So, does anyone have any questions...? (166 words) Pause 05" Now listen again.

Pause 20" You will hear Robert talking to his friend, Laura, about a trip to Dublin. M: Hi Laura. Some of us are going for a weekend in Dublin this year. Are you free at the beginning of next month? F: Yes, I’d love to come. M: Great! F: Who else is going? M: I asked my cousins, but they’re playing in a tennis competition – so there’ll be four of us from my office, and you. F: Where are we staying? M: I tried to book a guest-house. It was full, but visitors can rent rooms in the university during the holidays. We’ll do that – it’s cheaper than a hotel. F: Excellent. Are you taking your new camera? M: Yes, some maps of the city too. But you'll need a coat! It often rains. F: OK! M: Have you been before? F: Yes! The centre’s busy - the shops are always full of people! My friends and I loved all the beautiful buildings - I really enjoyed learning about their history. M: Yeah! F: So, are you excited about the trip? M: Yeah but it’s a pity the music festival won’t be on. When I’m in Dublin I always have lots of fish – it’s fantastic. There’s a new art exhibition - you might like it, but I’m not interested. F: Yeah, maybe! (188 words) Pause 05" Now listen again. Repeat Pause 05" That is the end of Part Three. Pause 10"
