Straightforward Intermediate Progress Test 3

Listening script

Track 13, Progress Test 4, Listening: Part 1

1

I love reading about mysteries. I’ve read lots of books about the Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot and people disappearing and it’s obvious what’s happening. I know not all the books mention it, but it’s aliens, isn’t it?

2

Recent reports show that although CCTV cameras in schools reduce vandalism and bullying, there are some significant problems. One of these is that children don’t do so well with their schoolwork. It seems that they feel nervous with cameras in the classroom.

I’ve tried all sorts of sports. When I was young I did gymnastics and, although I enjoyed it, I just wasn’t agile enough. Then I learned how to play tennis, but I hated running around! Then, when I was fifteen, a friend introduced me to paragliding – I thought it was great. Now I go every weekend and I hope to compete next year.

Having enough money in your pocket, or at least in your bank account, is important to buy things like food and pay your bills, but then I think that your family and friends are important as well. I mean, who wants money and no friends? I guess I’m lucky as I’ve always had a roof over my head and a job is only necessary because that’s how most people earn or get money.

You won’t believe this. I won!

Track 14, Progress Test 4, Listening: Part 2

Maxine: Hi Jenny, so are you coming to Royal Ascot this year?

Jenny: Hi Maxine. Yes, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. What are you going to wear?

Maxine: I’m wearing a long green dress and I’m having a hat made especially for the occasion.

Jenny: That sounds great! I was thinking of having my hair cut, but I’m not sure.

Maxine: Oh, you must. After all, it’s not as though you go to the races that often.

Jenny: You’re right, of course. But I’m not really interested in the horses …

Maxine: Who is? Royal Ascot’s not really about the horse racing, is it? It’s about meeting all those famous people and wearing fancy clothes. When else do you get the chance?

Jenny: Umm, when I go to Wimbledon.

Maxine: Well, yes. But I thought you liked tennis.

Jenny: Not really, I don’t like any sport very much.

Maxine: Oh!

Jenny: No, Wimbledon is all about eating strawberries and cream, and drinking champagne for me!
