2 although I do save time by patching up on emails while I'm commuting, and it's great for researching and booking holidays. For working people, online banking is also a huge help. I seem to have more money left in my account, now I can organise my finances regularly and check that my bills are paid on time. As for my daughter Lizzie, like all kids, she is never without her mobile phone. She sends text messages to her friends the whole time, even when she's been with them all day. I just don't know what she finds to say to them. I'm totally fascinated by how fast and accurately she texts. The speed is amazing, even when she's doing it under the table at meal times. Young people all seem to be able to do this. And when she's not doing that, she's on Facebook or Twitter or whatever, on her tablet. My son isn't so bothered about the social media, but he's permanently plugged into his MP3 player, which means there is loud music belting out the whole time. It's not so much the effect on his hearing, although I do worry about that. It's crossing busy roads that makes me lose sleep because he just doesn't concentrate. Apparently 16 to 21 year olds are the most vulnerable to road accidents because of this. I enjoy my MP3 player too, mind you. I listen to podcasts when I'm walking the dog, and it's great to have all your music in one place instead of on all those CDs we used to have. What I particularly appreciate is being able to pick and choose and download just a few tracks from an album rather than having to buy the whole lot. It has also given me so much more space in the house. All our CDs used to pile up gathering dust. I'm thrilled to get rid of them. The kids use the computer at school and to do their homework. Thank goodness for spell check so they can get on with it themselves. I used to spend ages checking their homework when they were younger. Mind you, there are things I worry about in the computer age. The obvious things, such as safety online of course, but also now the school asks them to do more and more research into their subjects. I sometimes wonder whether they just copy down what they read in essays without thinking it through for themselves. As for my husband, he's probably the one that resists technology the most, perhaps surprisingly, but he's become obsessed with YouTube recently. Now he's discovered he can watch all the 1980s rock bands that he's so keen on. You'd have thought he'd have lost interest now he's in his 50s, wouldn't you? In general, I'd say technology is great as long as it doesn't take over your lives. Now I do get frustrated with people who can't be parted from their phones or tablets. Part 2. For questions 11 – 15, choose the answer (A, B, C, or D) which fits best according to what you hear. You will hear people talking in five different situations. Choose the best answer A, B, or C. 11. You are in a shop when you overhead this man answering the telephone. What does the caller want to buy? A. a book about playing a guitar B. a book about guitar music
3 C. a cassette of guitar music Hello, Hammerstones, can I help you? Yes, we can take an order. Is it a recent publication? ... Okay then, do you know the name of the author? ... Aha, and the title? ... ‘Getting the Most out of Your Guitar’. Yes, I am familiar with that title. It is actually available in paperback now ... Okay then ... If you’d like to leave your name and telephone number, ... FADE 12. You are listening to the radio when you hear this man speaking. What is he talking about? A. history B. shipbuilding C. politics Well Giles, what is currently happening in the Cumberland dry-dock dispute is nothing new. There has been a long history of industrial problems in British shipbuilding and this makes what the minister said wrong on a number of counts. In fact, this statement could be going to cause serious difficulties for the government. Rodwyn Lewis has managed to get a number of backs up in the union, which is not going to help his government solve the dispute. 13. You are sitting in a café when you hear this woman speaking. She is telling her friend about ___________. A. the weather B. buying a new coat C. new windows Well, I’m not in the slightest bit bothered about the cold weather this year. Not since Geoff got round to fitting the new windows. I mean the old ones were letting in the rain. Last winter it got so cold that I ended up having to wear a coat in our front living room and what with Samantha being only two-and-a-half well, we just had to do something about them. Anyway, Geoff’s marvellous when it comes to jobs round the house. I mean he had them up and finished in a week – good thing it wasn’t snowing then. 14. Listen to this woman introducing a college lecture. The visiting lecturer ___________. A. has recently changed career B. has made a new discovery C. was late for the lecture Good evening, everybody. Er, this won’t be very long. Er, I’d just like to say thank you to all of you for managing to turn up at such short no tice. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. I’m sure by now all of you must have heard about Anne’s staggering breakthrough in the field of micro-neurosurgery. And, I can tell you, as a personal friend of hers, that Anne started her career right here. So it’s very fitting that I should be introducing – right now – Anne Suiter. 15. You will hear someone talking about soap operas. What does the speaker think about them? A. They are boring and meaningless to everyone.
