A. live near her B. work with her C. are still in England TRANSCRIPT Man:   Britta, you’re English, but you live in Berlin. Have you lived here for a long time? Woman:   Well, I was born in England, but I’ve lived in Germany for the past twenty years. I arrived in Berlin about four years ago. Before that, I lived in Bonn for six years, but I work as a journalist, and when the newspaper moved to Berlin, I moved with them. Man:   Were you pleased to come to Berlin? Woman:   Yes, I was. I was looking forward to being in a big city like Berlin. Bonn was quite a lot smaller, so I love the busy atmosphere and all the culture entertainments here: museums, theatres and so on. the only thing I don’t like is the traffic; it’s a bit noisy in the mornings. It wakes me up about 6.30, but most days I have to get up early anyway! Man:   Where do you live in Berlin?
2 Woman:   I have a flat in the old part of the city. It’s right in the centre, and it’s not too expensive – it costs me about £500 a month. My street is becoming very popular: there are lots of new art galleries, and small cafés and friendly restaurants everywhere. Eating out in Berlin is fun, and it’s cheap, so it’s something I do quite often. Man:   How do you find transport in Berlin? Woman:   Well, the transport system here is very good, so I have a tram and bus ticket, but in fact, most of the time I cycle. Travel here is much cheaper than in other countries I know – perhaps that’s why people don’t walk very much! Man:   What do you like to do in Berlin at the weekends? Woman:   Well, I like art, so sometimes I go to one of the galleries. I have a nephew called Philippe. He’s only three but he likes coming with me. He likes the café best, I think. And it’s a change from going to the park – that’s something he does very often. He usually comes out with me while his parents go shopping. Man:   Do you miss your friends and family in England? Woman:   I don’t really miss England – most of my friends are here. I don’t see much of my work colleagues socially, but I’ve got some very good friends who live in the same street as me. I enjoy meeting people, and I find Berlin is a very friendly city. Man:   Thank you for talking to us, Britta. Part 2: Listen to a talk and decide if these statements are True (T) or False (F). You will hear the information twice. Write your answers in the numbered boxes. 6. Loans that are used to buy a home are known as mortgages. T 7. A deposit can be worth about a tenth of the price of a home. T 8. One of the mistakes banks made was they gave out loans to candidates with good credit report. F 9. One result of the crisis is that a lot of mortgages went unpaid. T 10. The speaker feels that banks alone are responsible for the crisis. F TRANSCRIPT In the late 2000s, the US suffered from a terrible housing crisis. Before the crisis, banks were giving millions of dollars in loans to people who wanted to purchase a home. Due to problems in the economy, many people lost their jobs, and soon after, they lost their homes as well. One question was raised after the crisis hit: Should the banks have given these people loans in the first place? When most people buy a house, they don't just hand over a lot of money for the house unless they're Donald Trump. They need to get a loan from the bank. This specific type of loan is called a mortgage. To get the loan from the bank, a number of things must be true. First, they need a good job, and they need to give details about how much money they earn. Next, they need to pay a certain amount of money for the house as
3 an advanced payment. This money is called a deposit. Sometimes it's 10% of the value of the home; sometimes it's less. A third item they may need to produce is a credit report, showing their past history of making payments on things like credit cards or other loans. If all that's in place, then the bank may process the loan. Before the crisis, a number of problems existed. One was that the banks were giving out loans with little or no deposit. So, when a couple took out a mortgage, they owed nearly all the money on a home. Secondly, banks were giving out loans to people who really didn't qualify. Either they didn't earn enough money, or their credit report wasn't very good. Lastly, homes were very expensive. It wasn't uncommon to pay nearly half a million dollars for homes in some places. That's a lot of money. So, when the crisis hit and people lost their jobs, they had these huge mortgages that they couldn't afford. Is it right that they had these mortgages in the first place? It's an interesting debate. But sadly, the loss of people's homes ruined entire neighborhoods, and a lack of responsibility, whether it was on the part of the banks or homeowners, is to blame. Part 3: You will hear part of a lecture on Wildlife. Listen carefully and answer questions from 11 to 20. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS and/or A NUMBER for each answer. You will hear the information twice. Write your answers in the numbered boxes. 11. Before retirement, Brian worked as a pilot for a company called ______ British Airways _____ for a long time. 12.

Brian organised his flight in advance to avoid needing other people as ______ helpers _____ on the way. 16. Brian's microlight was modified so that it could carry more ______ fuel _____ on board. 17. It took Brian _____ 9 months ______ to plan the record-breaking flight. 18. Brians feels that flying over mile and miles of ______ sea _____ was the most dangerous part of the trip. 19. Brian describes his navigation system as both ______ accurate _____ and easy to use. 20. Brian says that his main problem on the flight was the fact that he became very _____ tired ______. TRANSCRIPT Interviewer:   Now, today I have with me Brian Coleford and he’s someone who spends a lot of time up in the air in that smallest of aircraft, the microlight. Hallo Brian. Brian:   Hallo.
4 Interviewer:   But it’s more than just a hobby, isn’t it? Brian:   Oh yes, I learned to fly when I was at university and I worked as a British Airways pilot for many years until my retirement. These days I spend a lot of my time helping people who want to learn how to fly a microlight, as well as other types of aircraft, at a local flying club. Interviewer:   Tell us about the microlight. Brian:   Well, it’s like a very small aircraft, which is powered by an engine. The thing with microlight flying is that it’s the closest you can get to actually feeling like a bird because you’re out in the open air, there’s no cabin or anything around you. Interviewer:   Oh I see … Brian:   And although it’s powered, the way it’s controlled is by moving your own weight, you steer it by moving your body one way or another. Interviewer:   So you have to lean over like you would on a motorbike? Brian:   You don’t lean really, you actually have to push. So you have to be quite fit especially for a long flight. Interviewer:   Which brings us on to the other thing which I know about you and that is that you’ve recently broken a world record. Tell us about that. Brian:   Well, it involved flying over four continents because I left from London and flew over Europe, Africa and Asia on the way to Australia. No one had ever done that before in a microlight. Interviewer:   The organisation for a long flight must be very difficult indeed, Brian. Surely you didn’t do it all on you own? Brian:   Yes, I had no helpers. It was a matter of planning my route in advance and finding out where I’d be able to get fuel en route and knowing how far I could plan to travel safely each day. Interviewer:   So how far can you travel on one tank of fuel? Brian:   Well, I had a special fuel tank fitted – that was the only way in which my microlight was modified for the flight. So that meant I had enough fuel to be able to do about eight hours. The actual distance I covered depended on the winds, of course, but the still-air distance was round about 500 miles a day. It took nine months to plan the 49-day flight, and for each leg I filed a flight plan so that each airport I would land at knew that I was on the way, and if I didn’t arrive within half an hour of the time I’d stated, then they’d have started looking for me. Interviewer:   Yes I’m sure that’s very necessary. What radio, if any, did you have? Brian:   Yes; I had a two-way VHF radio, but the range of that was only 70 miles, so there was a lot of time when I was out of radio contact with anybody. I crossed thousands of miles of desert and mountain which is quite dangerous, of course, should anything go wrong, and 5,000 miles of the trip was over the sea, which is even more so.
