MAN: Hello, my name's Robert. I've got a four-year-old daughter called Susie and I'd like to get some information about your preschool, please. WOMAN: Sure, Robert. Well, Susie's the right age. We take three and four-year-olds in classes of 20 students. MAN: Oh, great. And how many teachers do you have? WOMAN: We have two. The first group is taught by Mrs. Oliver and the second group is taken by Mrs. Keough. MAN: Just a moment. I'll write that down. Could you spell the last name, please? It's an unusual one, isn't it? WOMAN: Yes. It's K-E-O-G-H. MAN: Okay, I've got that. Now, I know the children attend for two or three days a week. WOMAN: That's right. The older ones, like Susie, are here for three days, which means 15 hours a week. The younger ones, the three-year-olds, attend two days a week. That's a total of 10 hours. MAN: And what do they do during that time? WOMAN: Well, half the day is spent outside and the children can run around and play games with their friends or do a karma activity, like painting, for example. We have a great outside play area that we're improving all the time. MAN: Yes. We were walking past the other day and Susie noticed. You've recently put in a new slide, haven't you? WOMAN: Yes. We're really pleased with it. It's a big one and the children love it. MAN: And are you thinking of adding anything else outdoors? WOMAN: Well, we were hoping to build a playhouse, but that was too expensive. So we're now making plans for a garden where the children will be able to grow flowers and vegetables. MAN: Lovely. And what else do the children do? WOMAN: Well, the other half of the day is spent indoors. This year, the children seem to be very interested in music, so the teachers are doing a lot of activities related to that. Last year, there seemed to be more of an
3 interest in dancing. MAN: Well, Susie would love either of those. WOMAN: The teachers may sometimes play quiet games with the children, but we always make time for a story each day. It's a very important part of the program here. MAN: Yes, of course. MAN: Now, I'd like to ask you about the fees if that's okay. WOMAN: Sure. We actually had to put them up this term, I'm afraid. MAN: Yes. I heard from a friend of mine that it used to be $420 for the term, but it's just gone up to $470. Is that right? WOMAN: Yes. We had to add the extra $50 to cover costs. Things got a lot more expensive last year. MAN: I understand. And I think the fees are still quite reasonable. Another school I've spoken to charges $500 per term. WOMAN: Oh, really? MAN: My friend also told me that his daughter went on a trip to the local zoo and that the cost of that was covered in the fees. Is that right? WOMAN: Yes. We did that last year, but we'll be going to a farm this year instead. We vary it, so for example, we may go to the theatre next year. MAN: Okay. Sounds like fun. WOMAN: Also included in the price is membership of a special library. Children can borrow a toy and keep it for a week and choose a different one the following week. It's very popular. MAN: What a great idea. We would certainly make use of that system if we enroll. Now, is there anything else I should know? WOMAN: Well, the children have a rest here during the day, and we make up a little bed for them with sheets and blankets. But we advise parents to pack a pillow in the child's bag as we don't provide one. MAN: Okay. I'll make a note of that. So, what should I do if I want to come and look around the school during the day and beat the staff? WOMAN: The best thing is to call the teacher on the classroom mobile and she'll tell you which time is best to visit. Shall I give you the number? MAN: Yes, please. WOMAN: Okay. It's 0914 638 520. MAN: Thanks for all your help, Sally. And we hope to see you soon. WOMAN: No problem. Bye for now. Part 2: Listen and answer the questions 11-20 below. (2.0 points)
4 Questions 11–15: Match the creatures to their behaviour. Write the correct letter A, B, C or D next to each description. A swifts B bats C cockroaches D centipedes 11. feed on the guardrail beside the path - C cockroaches 12. are dangerous to people - D centipedes 13. collect in large groups - B bats 14. fly only at night - B bats 15. live on the roof of the cave - A swifts TRANSCRIPT Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our visit to one of the most famous caves in Vietnam. As you know, this cave is famous for its wildlife, and one of the creatures you will observe in here is the small cave cockroach. They live mostly on the bird and bat droppings that are so plentiful in the caves. The guard rails along the trails are covered with these droppings, and this makes a feast for the cockroaches. So be careful where you put your hands. They will not harm you, but it can be a shock if you touch them. Once you are in one of the main caves, look out for the green centipedes. They will not be on the trail, but can often be seen on the wall close by. They feed on other insects and are fascinating to look at because of their colour, and of course, their many legs. Please, please do not try to pick one up though. These centipedes have a very nasty poisonous bite. There are also deep red millipedes. These have a fully rounded shape, and they look like a streamlined elongated train, with 100 or so closely packed legs extending right and left. When you get to the large, high caves, you should look right up above you for the swifts and bats. The bats in this cave are mostly a type of dwarf bat, which are common in this part of the world. They will be clustered high up against the walls, maybe 100 or 200 together. They look like shadows high on the walls of the cave. They are likely to be very quiet right now, but because there are so many of them together, you will have no difficulty identifying them. They sleep all day until they all leave the cave in a massive flock on their nightly hunt for flying insects. The swifts are the creatures you can see flying around during the day, especially if they have young ones to feed. They can navigate in the darkness here, and will fly outside in ones and twos at dusk to catch small winged insects like mosquitoes. However, they tend to return before it's pitch black outside, and they do not hunt at night. The swifts make nests usually higher up on the ceiling of the cave.
