TEST 1

6   Thursdays     7   4:20

8   Taylor     9   0779386521     10   library

Woman:   Now, I want to tell you about a new school music club. It’ll begin on the fifteenth of September and there will be classes once a week until December the eighteenth.

Let me check the day … Because there’s the sports club on Wednesdays, the music club will be on Thursdays.

It’ll be after school. Your last lessons finish at ten to four and you can have a break before the music club because it starts at twenty past four and ends at five o’clock.

Here’s some information about the teacher. His name’s Mr Taylor. I’ll spell that for you T-A-Y-L-O-R. You don’t know him because he’s new.

If your parents would like to phone him, he’s happy for me to give you his phone number. It’s zero-double seven-nine, three-eight-six, five-two-one.

Oh, you need to know where to go for the club. It’s going to be in the library. Use the doors next to the art room because the other doors won’t be open then.

TEST 2

6   tiger     7   10:45

8   Sohatu     9   37                10   poster

Woman:   Hi. Today you’re going to do your project. It’s called Helping because it’s about what people do to look after animals.

First, you’re going to do a drawing. It’s difficult to draw a monkey because they move so much, so you’re going to draw a tiger.

Water is very important for our animals, and at ten forty-five you’re going to go with our staff to give some animals their water. Then, at eleven thirty, you’ll see our youngest animal. He’s really beautiful; he’s a baby lion. He’s called Sohatu. I’ll spell that for you, so you can find out more about him on our website. It’s S-O-H-A-T-U.

After that, you’ll see the dolphins. Some dolphins can live to be sixty years old, but our oldest dolphin is thirty-seven. He’s about one hundred kilos and two metres long.

At the end of the day, we’ll give you a present -a poster. You can also go to the shop and buy perhaps a T-shirt or a toy.

TEST 3

6   Bridge     7   395

8   4.50     9   coat     10 snack

Emin:   Hi. I’m phoning about the football match that we’re going to. It’s on Saturday. But it isn’t in the City Stadium like the last football match we went to. This one’s in the Bridge Stadium. That’s B-R-I-D-G-E. You know, near the river!

Can you come to my house at half past two? Then we can go to the match together by bus. Bus number two-seven-four only goes every thirty minutes, so it’s better for us to get the three-nine-five, which is every ten minutes.

The tickets are usually ten pounds, but because my dad’s a member of the football club, we only pay four fifty each. That’s not bad, is it?

It’s going to be a bit cold, so don’t wear just a jacket – you’ll need a coat. I’m going to wear my red one because that’s our team’s colour!

Oh, and another thing, bring a snack because the cafés are expensive. You can get water there for free, so don’t bring water.

I think that’s everything. Bye!

 

 

 

 

 

TEST 4

6   12th July 7   video

8   jittersea     9   college     10   175

Woman:   Rosie, I’ve found some information about that dance competition that you’re interested in. It’s perfect for you because it’s for children who are between thirteen and fifteen.

The competition’s on the fourth of August, but you’ve got to enter by the twelfth of July. So you’ve still got over four weeks.

You don’t have to send any money to enter, just a video. I know you’ve already got some, but it might be a good idea to make a new one.

Anyway, everything you need to know is on the website. Write down the address. It’s www dot jittersea dot com. That’s spelt J-I-double T-E-R-S-E-A.

I also found out where they’re having the competition. It’s going to be at the college; the one opposite the park. That’s easy for you to get to.

And the best news is about the prizes. The winner gets a hundred and seventy-five pounds, and the person who comes second gets one hundred pounds! That’s a lot!

 

 

TEST 5

6   story                      7   250                        8   photo(graph)

9   collatra                  10   22nd May

Fabio:   Hi, it’s Fabio. Sorry you weren’t at school today. I hope you’re feeling better. I want to tell you about our homework for English.

It’s much easier than our last homework when we had to write an advertisement. This time it’s a story. We’ve got to write about a journey. Of course, it doesn’t have to be real. I’ve already started mine and I’ve written one hundred words, but actually we’ve got to write two hundred and fifty, so I have to write some more.

We have to include a photo, but we don’t have to draw a map or anything like that. If you need some ideas, look at this website: www dot collatra dot com. That’s C-O-double L-A-T-R-A. OK?

One last thing, the date we’ve got to give it to the teacher. Let me look, I wrote it down. Yeah, the twenty-second of May. That’s good because it’s before my birthday on the twenty-fifth, so I’ll have no homework on my birthday!
