TEST 15

6 December   7 12th October

8 colour   9 13   10 Rivers

Woman:   Last year’s school calendar was very popular. Because of this, we are going to make another one, ready for next year. (6) We hope to finish it by November, so that we can sell it in early December. We have decided to include drawings, rather than photos, in next year’s calendar. This is because we think it will be more interesting and less expensive to make.

If you would like to have your drawing in our calendar, you must enter it into our school competition. (7) The final date to enter the competition is October 12th. We hoped it would be October 20th, but we had to change the date as we need to print it by early November. We will choose a different drawing for each month and the best of all will be put on the front cover. The 12 inside pictures will be in black and white, and (8) the one on the front cover will be in colour. So (9) we need 13 pictures in total. (10) Please send your drawings to Mrs. Rivers. That’s R-I-V-E-R-S. She works in the geography department.

 

 

 

TEST 16

Man:   As you all know, Mr. Snow is leaving next month, at the end of the spring term. Unfortunately he decided not to stay until next year. (6) He is now 60 years old and he would like to stop teaching before he is 65.

We know that he is popular with our students and we would like to buy him a leaving present. If we collect enough money, we can buy him something really nice. (7) We have already collected £60, but we need at least £40 more to make a total of £100. Someone suggested buying a clock, and someone else suggested a watch. But (8) we decided to buy him a nice DVD player instead, because he loves watching films! Your teachers will collect money for Mr. Snow in the school cafeteria after lessons, next Friday.

We finish lessons at midday, on Friday 15th April. (9) On Saturday 16th we will meet at school at around 5.30 pm to prepare for the party. (10) The party starts at 7 in the evening. Then a student will give him the present. I hope all our teachers and some parents will be there and of course, all of you!

8 Thursday   9 Pink   10 cycling

Man:   (6) We have changed the day of our sports day this year. This is because we want to include swimming events and our new swimming pool won’t be ready until June 4th. (6) The new date will be Friday, June 14th. I think this will be much better for everybody.

I hope that all of you will be interested in doing something for our sports day. (7) Please put your name on the events list, if you would like to take part. (7) The list will be put on the wall beside the library (8) until Thursday. (9) If you have any questions, Miss Pink, that’s P I N K, our sports teacher, will be available to answer them during lunch break, on Monday. We will have many of our usual events, such as a volleyball match and, of course, a football match. However, (10) this year we will also have one more new event. This is a cycling race in which teachers can take part. It will be at the end of the day, before prizes are given to the winners of each race.

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. We hope that this will help you choose an interesting career. It is never too early to start thinking about the future!

(8) The event will be from 9am to 4pm. From 11am until midday, (9) the first talk will be for anyone interested in science and technology and from 2pm until 3pm, the second talk will be about languages.

(10) If you would like more details, please speak to Mr. Rogers, that’s R-O-G-E-R-S. He will add your name to a list of those interested in the event. There is also an information sheet at the back of the hall that you can take home with you to read.

Children’s tickets are £2.00 each but, of course, students who are in the play will get two free tickets for family and friends.

We hope that everyone is ready for the play! I think most of you are quite excited about it! However, (8) we still need people to help make costumes. Please (9) speak to Mr. Field, that’s F-I-E-L-D, if you are interested in helping.

For those of you who will take part in the play, there will be a meeting after school, next week. We still need to decide who will do different jobs. (10) We need people to sell ice cream and drinks before the play starts and others to help tidy up afterwards. I hope that lots of you will want to help!

Well, that’s all I want to say for now. Thank you for listening!
