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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

(7) We will go by coach, as the farm isn’t near a train or bus station. There’ll also be a lot of us! (8) In total, we will be 52. That’s 2 teachers and 2 classes of biology students. Mr. Low will be with his class of 30 students and Mrs. Topping with the 20 students who are in her class.

TEST 22

6 cafeteria      7 7th March

8 3                   9 4                                10 digibooks

First – 1 st, second – 2 nd, 3 third- rd, 4 fourth – 4th

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.
