5
Where does the man think he left his wallet?
6
Hello, my name's Joe Smith.
7
I'm ringing because I lost my black leather wallet on Monday.
8
I got off the 11.20 train from Reading and went to the shop at the end of Platform 2.
9
I bought some sandwiches, so I had my wallet then.
10
Afterwards, I went to sit in the waiting room.
11
I remember putting my wallet down.
12
I probably left it there because my next train arrived, so I hurried off to get it.
13
If it's handed in, please can you contact me on 07577 886.
14
Now listen again.

2. What is tomorrow's talk at the Nature Society about?
24
Do you fancy coming along to tomorrow's Nature Society talk?
25
Yeah, the last one on rivers and the plants around them was very good, wasn't it?
26
Well, you'll like the next topic too.
27
It's something you're interested in.
28
Ah, so it's about rainforests then?
29
I knew you'd think that.
30
Actually, there's a talk on that next month.
31
This one will deal with something closer to home.
32
Wildflowers in parks and gardens.
33
Oh, OK.
34
Not as interesting as jungle wildlife, but it still sounds worth going to.
35
Now listen again.

3. What will the woman order for lunch?
49
The menu looks good, doesn't it?
50
Yes.
51
Have you decided what you're going to order?
52
You normally have salad for lunch, don't you?
53
Yes.
54
I was thinking I might have the tomato soup, or maybe a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich.
55
They both sound nice, and I've heard the bread here's really good.
56
They bake it themselves.
57
Look, it says everything on the lunchtime menu comes with fresh bread.
58
In that case, I'll go for my usual choice.
59
OK, well, I'm going to try the soup.
60
Now listen again.

73
4. How did the woman find out about the exhibition?
74
Hi Jack, did you know there's an interesting new exhibition on at the local art gallery?
75
I was looking at the gallery's website recently and I didn't see anything about it.
76
I'm surprised they haven't advertised it more on posters around town either.
77
Anyway, according to what I heard on the radio, it's only on for a couple of days and I think it'll be really popular.
78
I can book tickets online if you're interested.
79
Let me know as soon as you can.
80
Now listen again.
81
popular.
82
I can book tickets online if you're interested.
83
Let me know as soon as you can.
84
5. What job is the woman's brother doing?
85
Did I tell you my brother's working at Scooter, that new designer clothes place in town?
86
You know, the one that sells really original jeans and t-shirts?
87
I'm quite jealous.
88
I'd like to work there as a shop assistant myself.
89
Well, in fact, he wanted to do that, but they only needed a security guard for the shop, so he was given that job instead.
90
He's pleased, and he gets a great discount on all those amazing designer clothes.
91
Cool.
92
Now listen again.
93

6. How will the woman travel to her meeting?
101
Hi, Brian.
102
This is Amanda, Amanda Smith.
103
I'm calling to let you know that I might be a little late for our meeting.
104
They've cancelled my train.
105
It's really annoying actually as the train's the fastest way to get into town.
106
I tried to get a cab but the queue at the station was so long.
107
It'll be quicker to rush home and get my own car rather than wait for a taxi.
108
So I'll see you soon hopefully.
109
Now listen again.
110
Hopefully.
111
Seven.
112
Which sport has the man stopped doing?
113
You're doing lots of winter sports this year, aren't you?
114
That's right.
115
Snowboarding's been a first-time experience for me.
116
It's taken me a while to learn, but now I find it hard to stop.
117
What else have you tried?
118
Ice hockey too.
119
I've always enjoyed watching it.
120
It's too fast, though, and I gave it up in the end.
121
Skiing's a bit scary, but it's so exciting that I just can't get enough of it.
122
It's a shame it's such an expensive sport to do.
123
Yes, I know.
124
Now listen again.
125
You're doing lots of winter sports this year, aren't you?
126
That's right.
127
Snowboarding's been a first-time experience for me.

134

136
That is the end of part one.
137
Now look at part two.
138
For each question, choose the correct answer.
139
Eight.
140
You will hear two people talking about buying a bicycle.
141
So, have you bought a bicycle yet?
142
I nearly bought one last week, but in the end I didn't really think the salesman I spoke to knew enough.
143
In our local bike shop?
144
They're usually very helpful in there.
145
Yes, I think he was new.
146
Anyway, maybe I need to do some more research online.
147
If you look on the internet, sometimes there's too much information.
148
What about talking to my brother who's a professional cyclist?
149
He'd give you some useful ideas without trying to persuade you to buy a particular product like they do in shops.
150
I could do.
151
Now listen again.

162
9. You will hear a man telling his friend about his Welsh language course.
163
How are you getting on with your Welsh language course?
164
Not too bad, actually.
165
From what other people had told me, I thought the grammar would be really hard.
166
But, actually, it isn't too bad.
167
The main issue I have to deal with is our teacher.
168
If she spoke more slowly, I'd understand a lot more.
169
I miss so much.
170
Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used to her.
171
Our classes are only an hour long though, so just when I'm getting into the lesson, it's over.
172
Anyway, it's a beautiful language and I'm glad I've taken it up.
173
Now listen again.
174

184
Ten.
185
You will hear a woman telling her colleague about her weekend.
186
Morning.
187
So, how was your weekend?
188
We went to the city for the day, to the new outdoor street market everyone's talking about.
189
It never stopped raining though, me all got very wet.
190
I was happy to leave.
191
Both the kids spent the next day coughing the whole time.
192
That meant we just sat on the sofa watching TV all afternoon, which was something I really needed to do, despite all the arguments about what to watch.
193
We did eventually manage to find a couple of films that everyone would be satisfied with.
194
Now listen again.
195

196

204
11. You will hear two friends.
205
Talking about a new restaurant.
206
Have you been to the new restaurant on the high street?
207
Yes, I guess it wasn't too bad.
208
I thought the food was pretty good value at least.
209
It's true, they don't charge too much.
210
The service was slow though when I went.
211
The waiter had to apologise.
212
I don't mind waiting when the food's all freshly cooked, but it was quick enough when I went.
213
That was just it.
214
Everything seemed to either be out of a tin or frozen stuff heated up in a microwave.
215
Such a shame, but you're absolutely right.
216
Even if it isn't an expensive place to eat.
217
Now listen again.
218
Have you been to the new restaurant on the high street?
219
Yes.
220
I guess it wasn't too bad.
221

231
Twelve.
232
You will hear two old friends talking at a party.
233
Oh, hi!
234
John, it is you.
235
I thought so.
236
I'd recognise that jacket anywhere.
237
You know it's always been my favourite.
238
Yes, but I thought you'd have a new one after all these years.
239
Why bother if it still fits as well as ever?
240
After all, fashion has never interested me that much.
241
I see you have to wear glasses now as well.
242
I'm still not really used to mine.
243
But they look good on you, particularly now you've shaved your beard.
244
Thanks.
245
Anyway, what have you been doing since I last saw you?
246
You look well.
247
Now listen again.
248
Oh, hi!
249
John, it is you.
250
I thought so.
251
I'd recognise that jacket anywhere.
252
You know it's always been my favourite.
253

261
You look well.
262
13. You will hear two colleagues talking about a meeting.
263
Where's this afternoon's meeting?
264
Well, it was supposed to be upstairs, but surely we're not going to have it now that John's off sick.
265
Oh?
266
I've heard we're going to carry on as planned.
267
I can't believe that.
268
Without John?
269
Oh well, I'm ready for it.
270
I'm doing my presentation and I think everyone will like it.
271
I'm sure you'll be great.
272
Did it take long to prepare?
273
To be honest, I spent ages on it.
274
That was fine, but my laptop kept shutting down while I was preparing it.
275
That made me really mad.
276
Oh dear.
277
Now listen again.
278
great.
279
Did it take long to prepare?
280
To be honest, I spent ages on it.
281
That was fine, but my laptop kept shutting down while I was preparing it.
282
That made me really mad.
283
Oh dear.
284
That is the end of part two.
285
I'll look at part three.
286
For each question, write the correct answer in the gap.
287
Write one or two words, or a number, or a date, or a time.
288
Look at questions 14 to 19 now.
289
You have 20 seconds.
290
You will hear a man giving information to people who are starting a one-week singing course.
291
Hello, everyone.
292
I'm delighted you've chosen to do this one-week singing course.
293
Before we start, I'll give you some important information.
294
First of all, your teachers.
295
As you know, we're running classes in two different singing styles, and each has its own teacher.
296
The jazz course will be taught by Robert Park.
297
Some of you will remember him from last year.
298
And Susan Broccoli will teach you to sing songs from famous musicals.
299
Her surname spelt B-R-O-K-L-E-Y.
300
The course highlight is the concert for family and friends on Friday.
301
It'll begin at half past eight, but if your guests want to get the best seats to watch you, theatre doors open at eight o'clock.
302
On the night of the concert, we want you to feel relaxed.
303
T-shirts are fine, but we ask that they're blue so everyone looks similar.
304
The traditional colour for concerts is black, of course, but we think that's a bit dark.
305
You'll enjoy performing, I'm sure.
306
Now for some other information.
307
To find your way around the building, you can always ask your teachers or the security guard if you need help.
308
There's also a map showing where all the rooms are, which you can get from the receptionist.
309
I'll introduce you in a moment.
310
The lunch break will be at 1pm.
311
We don't have a cafe, I'm afraid.
312
There's a kitchen for preparing food, but there's nowhere to sit and eat there, so take Take your sandwiches or whatever to the hall much nicer,
313
with a view of the garden next door.
314
If anyone's using the public car park, there's a charge.
315
A monthly pass costs £20.
316
As you're only here for a week, it's cheaper to pay daily, which is £3, so that'll only cost you £15 in total.
317
OK?
318
So, any questions?
319
I'll listen again.

You will hear an interview with a man called Mickey Diaz, who is talking about his work as a hairdresser.
355
Welcome to the careers interview.
356
Today we're talking to Mickey Diaz, who'll tell us what it's like to work as a hairdresser.
357
Mickey, why did you become a hairdresser?
358
Both my parents were hairdressers and worked with lots of well-known TV stars, but I really expected to do something completely different.
359
It was after college, when I was looking for work, that a friend said I could help in his hairdresser shop.
360
So I did, and I ended up staying.
361
So, what's a normal working day like?
362
Busy.
363
I get in early.
364
We decide who's going to do which jobs each day.
365
it's best if we mix things up, do a few women's cuts, a few men's, some colour.
366
Stopping for a coffee or a rest can be difficult, but I always make time for that.
367
I often stay late to prepare things for the next day too, but that's fine with me.
368
What's the best part of the job?
369
I really enjoy exchanging news with the people who come back regularly for haircuts.
370
Sometimes they want a new style and ask me to be creative.
371
I'm not keen on doing that.
372
I prefer to show show people pictures of the latest haircuts and get them to choose one instead.
373
So, is there anything you don't like about your job?
374
Some hairdressers get upset if customers are rude, but I never let anyone bother me.
375
We have to take health and safety courses, which I find extremely dull, but I know they're necessary.
376
I'm also responsible for training new colleagues at the shop.
377
I prefer cutting hair.
378
I don't mind sharing my knowledge, though.
379
I see.
380
How does it feel when you've finished a haircut?
381
It's very important to me to get a haircut right, but when the customer walks out of the door, their hair's already growing back.
382
I know I won't see that exact same cut again, which is a shame.
383
I usually feel there's something I could do better, so I'm always trying to improve, to keep customers satisfied.
384
Finally, any advice for people who'd like to become hairdressers?
385
You can study hairdressing at college, but you don't learn as much as you would in a full-time job.
386
People often think hairdressing's badly paid but the money can actually be quite good with tips added.
387
Never forget that you're only as good as your last haircut.
388
A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they've learned all there is to learn.
389
That's rarely true.
390
Well, Mickey, thank you so much for being here.
391
Now listen again.

I see.
418
How does it feel when you've finished a haircut?
419

Never forget that you're only as good as your last haircut.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
