Listen to some people talking about their hobbies. Match each of the speakers with two activities. There are two activities you don’t need to use.
Joanne My favourite hobby is, well, I really love going swimming. I don’t swim every day, but even on the days I don’t go swimming, I usually go to the sports centre. I enjoy that because there are always some friends there, and things to do, you know? Marek I spend a lot of time writing my blog – I’m really into that. In fact, I maybe spend too much time on the computer because my other big thing is films. I download them on the computer and watch them. I spend hours doing that!
Alessandra Well, one of my favourite things is going out on my bike. I really love taking my bike out and going riding for hours. And then there’s the theatre. Lots of my friends like the cinema but I’ve always preferred the theatre. It’s just a great atmosphere, I love it.
Jorge For me, friends are the most important thing, so I love phoning them or just being with them after school and in the shopping centre at the weekend – you know, just chatting, talking. And my other love is the violin. I’m still learning and I’m not very good yet, but I want to play the violin really well one day.

You will hear a girl, Maia, talking about television. Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it’s correct, choose the letter A for YES. If it isn’t correct, choose the letter B for NO.
TV? Well, I’m not very keen on it. I don’t really spend a lot of time watching TV. I mean, there are some good things, but a lot of it is pretty terrible, really. But there is one show I really like and it’s called The Street. It’s a kind of soap opera – well, it is a soap opera! It’s on on Mondays and Wednesdays, every week, half an hour each time, so you don’t have to sit and watch for hours, you know? And it’s just about people and their lives and what they do, how they get on with each other. The show is called The Street because almost all the people in it live in the same street
- not all of them but the majority. Erm… my favourite character is a man called Ted. He works in a small shop on the corner of the street and he always gets things wrong. He makes lots of mistakes, but the customers don’t mind because he’s such a nice guy. He makes people smile … erm … that’s why I like him so much.

Dave Good morning, Sea View. This is Dave. How can I help you today? Jean Hello. Have you got a room for this weekend? Two nights
- Friday and Saturday? Dave Yes, we have. We have single rooms at £110 a night … Jean No, I’d want a double room. Dave OK, double rooms are £130 a night – at the weekend, anyway. Jean A hundred and thirty. OK. And … erm … has the room got a bathroom? Dave Yes, all our rooms have a bathroom … and every room has air-conditioning too. Jean Oh, very nice. Good. Although I don’t think we’ll need air-conditioning. It isn’t very warm, is it? Dave No, that’s right. Anyway, let me give you a bit more information. Um … check-in is from three o’clock in the afternoon … Jean Three o’clock, OK. Dave … but if you’re going to arrive after ten o’clock at night, please let us know. Jean No, no, we’ll be there around six. Um … we’re coming by car … Is there a car park?
Dave Well, we haven’t got a car park ourselves, but there is a car park across the road. You can park there for ten pounds a night. Jean OK. Oh, you didn’t tell me about check-out times. Dave Oh yes. Check-out is eleven o’clock, please. Jean Fine. Dave Oh, just one more thing – I’m afraid we don’t accept pets, so no dogs or anything. Jean Oh, that isn’t a problem. I’ll think about it and call you back, OK? Dave Of course. Thank you for calling! Bye.

Ben Well, it was Ian’s sister Alice who came up with it. She said we should choose something environmental. Liz Why? Ben To show that we care about the environment. It makes us a bit different. Liz So are all your songs about the environment? Ben Well, we haven’t got any yet, but we’re going to write some. Liz Yes, that might be a good idea. So I guess you sing and play keyboards, Ian plays guitar … Ben No, Ian isn’t playing the guitar any more. He prefers the drums. Liz Is he any good? Ben He isn’t bad. Liz Who else is in the band? Ben There’s Jessica on bass guitar and Lucy on violin. Liz Wow – you’ve got a violinist! Ben Yes. She’s really cool. Liz So I don’t suppose you’re looking for someone to play the saxophone? Ben Well, we did have a trumpet player, but he dropped out, so yes – I suppose if we knew someone who played, we’d be interested. Why – do you know someone? Liz Well, yes, I do – me. Ben You, Liz?

Conversation 1 Boy So, have you got any plans for the summer holidays? Girl Not really. Well, I think we’re going on holiday somewhere. Boy So are we. My parents have booked a camping holiday in France. Girl Camping? Really? That’s awful! I really don’t like camping. Boy Nor do I. And that’s the problem. I told them I didn’t want to go camping in France, but it didn’t make any difference. Sometimes I just can’t talk to my parents. Girl Neither can I – I mean, to my parents!
Conversation 2 Boy Are you going anywhere in the summer? Any plans? Girl No, I don’t think so. Well, I mean, I don’t know yet. My dad’s got some problems at work, so I think perhaps we’ll have to wait and see. Boy Is there anywhere you’d like to go? Anything you’d like to do? Girl Well, you know me. I just want to go to a beach somewhere. I just love being on a beach! Boy Oh, so do I. Sunshine, sand, warm water – it’s the best. Girl Oh, stop! It’s raining outside and you’re talking about the beach! Boy Well, you started talking about the beach, not me! Girl Yes, you’re right. Sorry. It’s just that I hate rain and I haven’t been to a beach for two years.
Conversation 3 Girl So, soon it’s the summer holidays. I really don’t like summer holidays. Boy Are you crazy? I love them. No school, time to relax, time for … well, for me! Girl I’m going to spend the holidays studying. Well, some of the time, anyway. Boy Not me! I’m going to get up at 10 o’clock every day and watch TV until midnight! Girl My parents don’t let me do that. Boy Well, neither do mine. But, you know, you can always dream! Girl Hah! Yes. And I can dream that all my studying helps me get to medical school. Boy Oh, that’s right – you want to be a doctor. I almost forgot. Look, I can help you with the studying if you want. If you think I can help. Girl Well, thanks! I’ll call you.

When I went out this morning, it was snowing! Girl I think someone should invent a way to stop winter happening. That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? Boy Well, actually, no. It would be awful. You’ve got to have seasons, haven’t you? Girl Yes, you’re probably right. Boy And anyway, spring will be here before too long. We’ve only got to wait for about three weeks. In fact it’s almost starting already. Girl Oh really? What makes you say that? Boy There are some flowers out there in the garden. Look! Soon there’ll be birds singing round here, too. I love that, don’t you? Girl Er, yes, it’s all right I suppose. Boy Actually, I’ve got an idea. Maybe we could have a party at the end of the month, a ‘Welcome to Spring’ party. Girl Now that’s a good idea. A theme party for spring. And you know me – I love parties! Boy So do I. Girl Where would you have it? Boy Not sure. This flat certainly isn’t big enough. If we had it here, we’d only be able to have about ten people! There’s a hall in the village here, but that’s not very big either. I don’t think it would make a nice place. Girl Nor do I. Hey! How about your parents’ garden? It’s a wonderful garden, isn’t it? All that space. Boy Well, yes, but what if it rains? Girl But, this is a ‘Welcome to Spring’ party, isn’t it? Boy Yes, but don’t forget, in England it rains in spring too!

Andy Hey Tracy. I heard that your mother isn’t very well. Tracy Hi Andy. Yes, that’s right. Well, she isn’t too bad. But she’s had some problems … Andy With her shoulder, right? Or her wrist? Tracy No, actually, it’s her elbow. In fact, she had to have an operation to try to fix it. We don’t know yet if it’s fixed. Andy Well, I hope she’s OK. But how did the problem start? Tracy Well, a couple of years ago she was promoted at work and that was great, but she had to use the computer a lot more. Andy Oh right. Tracy She’d been working outside the office a lot before that
- but then she started sitting, using her arm and wrist to move the mouse, typing – and she types really badly! Andy Oh, that can be really bad for your wrist and elbow. Tracy Yes, and another problem is that she plays tennis too. When she left school, she’d already won some competitions. But now she only plays for fun – but, of course, you know, if you play a lot of tennis, you can have problems with your elbow. Andy I hear some guitar players have the same problem, actually. Tracy Yes, but that’s not something Mum has problems with! Anyway, this working at a computer just made things far, far worse. Andy Well, yes. My uncle had an operation on his elbow too – and he’d been playing tennis for years too. And he was warned by the doctors, but he still played. Tracy Hope I never get it. Anyway, Mum’s getting better now, but she’s decided not to go back to work at the same place. She’s given in her notice. She doesn’t really like working in an office anyway. Andy So what’s she going to do?
Tracy Well, she really wants to be a cook, believe it or not. So she’s going to start at a small restaurant near the railway station. They’re going to give her on-the-job training. Andy I always think that kind of work is pretty challenging – more than people think. Tracy Yes, but she’s looking forward to it. She won’t earn as much, of course, but she just wants to do something she likes. Andy Good for her. Give her my best wishes, OK? Tracy I’ll do that. Thanks! See you soon. Andy Bye.

Sam Well, we’re all good at some things, and not so good at other things, but what really counts is that you enjoy what you do and want to become better, doesn’t it? Anna That’s right. You know what? I think I’ll give it a go and join the club. Sam Fantastic! Conversation 3 Layla What’s up, Max? Max Nothing. Layla Come on, what’s wrong?
