3 A. Hill Street. B. Penny Road C. Arthur Street D. High street Question 10. How much will six burgers cost at the new restaurant? A. £18 B. £36 C. £40 D. £26 TRANSCRIPT Jack: Isn’t your birthday soon, Alice? Alice: Yes, it’s next week. Jack: I thought so. I remember we had an English exam last year on the 14th July, and your party was on the same day. Alice: Yes, but my birthday was two days earlier. (6) Jack: It was a great party. Are you having one again this year? Alice: No, I won’t. It took a long time to clean up afterwards. Hardly anyone stayed to help! It was not fun! (7) Jack: What a shame. What will you do instead? Alice: I don’t know. I wanted to go out for a meal at Freddie’s Pizza House with some friends, but my flatmate went there last week. She said the waiters were very friendly, but the pizzas were terrible. (8) Jack: Well, it’s not an expensive restaurant. Cheap food isn’t often good. Why don’t you try the new burger restaurant? Alice: Where’s that? Jack: It’s near Tom’s house. Alice: On Hill Street? Jack: Well, it’s near there. You go past Tom’s house and turn left down Penny Road. It’s down there, opposite a little book shop called Arthur’s. (9) Alice: Oh, I know Arthur’s. But I don’t know this restaurant. But is it expensive? I don’t have much money. Jack: Well, we got three burgers and we paid £18. (10) (Six burgers would cost 2 × £18 = £36.) Alice: That’s good. I want to invite 5 friends, so six burgers will cost... Jack: Less than £40! Alice: That’s not bad. LISTENING PART 3: For questions 6- 10, choose the answer A, B, C or D which fits best according to what you hear.

Clients receive individual tuition TRANSCRIPT In this session in your training day we’re going to look at some of the more specialised holidays we offer at BC Travel. Now, the travel business is very competitive and it’s important to be aware of how the market’s changing and developing. In terms of age groups, the over 65s are an important market, and one that’s increasing steadily year on year. The fewest holidays are taken by the 31 to 42-year-olds, and that figure shows no sign of rising. The biggest market at present is still the youngest group, the 16 to 30s, but this group’s also seen the biggest drop over the last few years, whereas there’s a noticeable growth in the number of holidays taken by the 55 to 64-year-olds (11). As far as the 43 to 54-year-olds are concerned, bookings there are steady, but I have to say we haven’t seen the increase we expected. One trend we’re noticing with nearly all age groups is the growing popularity of holidays in which clients do some kind of specialised activity. I’m not talking here about adventure holidays, where clients take part in high-risk activities like white water rafting just for the thrill of it. Activity holidays usually involve rather less high-risk sports, or things like art and music. They’re not necessarily cheaper than ordinary holidays, often the opposite, in fact. But they do often take place outside the main tourist centres, which gives an opportunity for clients to find out more about the local people and customs, and many say this is one of the most positive features of these holidays (12). Of course, they offer the chance to develop a new skill or talent, but clients often say that more than this, it’s the chance to create lasting relationships with other like- minded people that’s the main draw. Let me give you some examples of BC Travel activity holidays. Our painting holidays take place in four different centres in France and Italy and they’re very popular with clients of all abilities from beginners onwards. We've got an excellent team of artists to lead the classes - some of them have been with us from the start, and five additional ones will be joining us this year so that we can offer a greater number of classes in each centre. (13) As far as cooking holidays are concerned. I know a lot of agents offer holidays where clients cook redoes
