Man:   Welcome to the Museum of the Natural World. I know most of you are interested in the new dinosaur exhibition, so I will take you there first. The tour will take 1 hour. Afterwards, you can look at the rainforest and countryside exhibitions by yourselves. (6) Don’t forget that your coach leaves at 11 am, so you have 3 hours, in total, for your visit. (7) There are guidebooks for sale at the information desk. (8) Please remember, you cannot take photographs in the museum. Of course, you may write down information in your notebooks if you like.

Next year we will have a new exhibition on technology and the natural world. We were hoping to have it ready by March 13th. Unfortunately, it will now open a month later, on April 12th, (9) a week before the school holidays, which start on April 20th. We hope you can visit us again, then! When you leave the museum today, (10) please remember to collect your coats from the entrance hall.

Woman:   I know you are preparing for the test on Monday, June 9th. However, because you are final-year students, you need to think about a career, too. So, before term ends, on June 20th, (6) someone will visit the school, on June 17th to give careers advice. (7) On this day, you will be able to find out about many different occupations.

Woman:   All the biology students will be excited to hear that there will be a trip to a local farm, next month. We wanted the trip to be on the 18th April, but April’s a very busy month for farms. So (6) we’ll go the following month, on May 19th, before examinations begin on June 2nd.

TEST 22

6 cafeteria      7 7th March

8 3                   9 4                                10 digibooks

Man:   I’d like to tell you about our plans for the new library. We all feel that in this digital age students aren’t interested in reading books from a library. They prefer to read a book on a mobile phone or a tablet. For this reason, we want to make reading more exciting by buying more modern books and building a new library.

(6) The new library will be beside the cafeteria, so you can buy a coffee or something to eat when you want a break from studying. The old library, next to the gym, will close on February 28th.

(7) For one week from that date, until March 7th, you will not be able to use either library. (8) On March 15th, and for two more days, there will be a sale of old library books in the new library.

(9) When the new library opens, students will be able to borrow four books a week. If you have any ideas about the new library, please send them by email to (10) this website: www-dot-digibooks-dot-com. That’s D-I-G-I-B-double O-K-S. Thank you for listening.
