I’m sure shell like what I’ve bought. 2: What will the prize be in the painting competition? Woman: We need to get a prize for the children’s painting competition. Last year, Jane won and I think she was given a box of new paints Man: It should be something different this time. How about some money? That’s always popular. Woman: Yes, but it would be nice to get them something that reminds them of the competition. I think a book about painting would be a good prize. Man: You’re right. Let’s do that! 3: Which photo does the girl dislike? Woman: I’ve got the photos back. Look, this one of us on the beach is just brilliant! Man: Yes. You must get a copy for me to keep as a souvenir. It was a great day, but that other one’s good too! Woman: I don’t know why you think so, the dress I’m wearing is awful I only bought it because it was halt-price The one of us on the boat isn’t bad, look! Man: Mmm apart from the fact that you look sea sick. 4: What should the students take on the school trip? Woman: Now you won’t need any money for the bus or your entrance ticket to the zoo tomorrow, because that’s already paid for… But bring some small change for when you get thirsty and want a drink. The only food or drink allowed on the bus is fruit. Bring some with you because it’s a long trip, and you’ll get hungry. No food or drink must be taken into the zoo. And you’ll need to bring all your coloured pencils for the work I’m going to ask you to do there. 6: Which subject does the boy like best? Man: I really like the new chemistry teacher - he let me spend the lesson drawing the equipment for an experiment. The Maths teacher is much more serious but that’s still my


M: At about 9 o’clock. I work through until lunchtime, about midday, although sometimes it’s closer to one, and have a short break for something to eat. F: Do you ever eat while you are working? M: Sometimes I’d like to, but it’s my rule not to. I think it’s important to go somewhere else and concentrate on your food. F: Where do you work? M: I have my own office, but in fact, my wife is at work and my children are at school all day, so I could work anywhere in the house if I wanted to, even on the kitchen table. But then I’d have to clear everything away at the end of the day and I wouldn’t like that. F: Do you write after lunch? M: I usually deal with post and e-mails and then write again in the evening. F: How long does it take you to write a novel? M: It usually takes about six months to write it for the first time. I then put it away for a month and do other things, such as writing short stories. After that, I start re-writing and that can take another six or seven months. F: How do you feel when you’ve finished? Do you take a break from writing? M: No, I don’t. I carry on with my next project. I may decide to go away for a while, with the family, but I always take work with me. It may be another novel, or it may be a collection of short stories, or perhaps a magazine article. F: How do your family feel about that? M: They don’t mind. They’re used to me by now. Questions 17 to 20. You will hear two friends chatting about a television series Man: So, did you see the final episode last night? Woman: Of course! As if I would miss that! Man: And? Woman: It was by far the best episode, definitely. Man: Yeah, totally. The dragon at the end and all the special effects in that final scene were amazing. Woman: I loved that part! But I still don't think this series was as good as the others. Man: Really? But you said you wouldn't want to miss it? Woman: I know, but still … it's a lot more predictable than it used to be. Man: But that's because the story has been told so well that all the characters are reaching their destiny now.
