Section 1.

You will hear a new student on a short summer course getting information from the college receptionist.

Now the test will begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen,

as you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully to the first part of the conversation and answer questions one to five.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Nice.

OK, here's the information you need.

On the first page there's some info about the college,

the facilities, the courses on offer, etc. Uh-huh.

Then, on these blue pages here,

there's an outline of the social activities.

You see there, OK?

Yes.

Now this part of the booklet here,

the yellow pages, that's the main program starting at 9am tomorrow.

9am, OK.

So all the new students will be gathering in Herville Hall at 9 o'clock.

Sorry, where?

Herville Hall.

I'll spell it for you.

It's H-E-R-V-I double L and then H-A double L for hall, of course.

It's the big white building by the entrance.

OK, I've seen it.

Right.

Anyway, you'll be in there for an hour.

First, the director of studies will explain the various courses we offer and the requirements for them.

Then for the second half hour,

the social organiser will tell you more about the social program and Saturday excursions.

Is that all clear?

Um, yes, I think so.

Then where do I go after that?

Ah, yes, OK.

After the talks in the hall, there's a break.

And then at quarter to eleven,

go to classroom four to have a placement test test quarter

to 11 this placement test is to find my level in

English exactly then after the test all the new students are

invited to a special welcome lunch in the cafeteria no no

not for the welcome lunch it's in a restaurant near the

school an Indian restaurant oh okay I don't think I've ever tried Indian food.

Do you like spicy food?

Yes, I do.

Then you'll love Indian.

So where's the Indian restaurant?

Don't worry, it's really easy to find.

Have you got that map I gave you?

This one?

Yes, that's it.

See here, the main entrance to the school?

Yes?

Well, don't go out of there,

there's a smaller entrance here, round the back.

Oh yes, I see.

Okay, so you go out of there,

past the phone box, and then turn right into this road here,

the one that goes along the side of the park.

You'll see a supermarket on the left,

and then it's just after that on the right.

It's quite a big place, you can't miss it.

Okay.

And one more thing.

Is there a post office near here?

Post office?

Oh, yes, of course.

Just the other side of the park.

Go through the middle of the park and it's there by the park entrance.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

There's a good cafe near here too.

Very popular with the students.

Just there.

You go out of the main entrance into Varley Road,

then turn left at the bank and it's at the end of the street.

They do amazing coffee.

That's great.

Thanks very much.

No problem.

Enjoy your course.

Thanks again.

Bye.

Section 2.

You will hear the director of a new art centre speaking

to a group of local people who have come to hear what the new art centre will be offering.

Well, good evening everybody.

Thank you all for turning out on this cold wet evening.

Welcome to our new Art Centre.

I'm delighted that so many people are interested in finding out about the facilities and events that we'll be offering.

I'll start with the regular evening events that we've scheduled so far.

Sunday night will be film club night.

Each week we'll be showing a classic film from the 40s 50s or 60s.

Films will start at quarter to seven

and afterwards there will be an opportunity to discuss the film in the cafe bar for anybody who'd like to.

Tickets for the film will be five pounds

but the discussion afterwards is free although anybody who wants to buy me a drink is welcome to do so.

On Thursday evenings at 7.30 the auditorium is given over to productions by touring theatre companies.

This coming Thursday we're very excited to be welcoming Pizzazz,

a drama company featuring both able-bodied and physically handicapped actors.

100

They'll be performing a rather special version of William Shakespeare's The Tempest,

101

featuring music and dance as well as dialogue.

102

Fridays and Saturdays will be music nights starting at 8pm with classical

103

or traditional music on the Fridays and pop rock on the Saturdays.

104

However as the sound system hasn't yet been fully installed these events won't be starting for another few weeks.

105

As well as evening performances,

106

various events will take place during the day.

107

So far a mothers and toddlers session has been arranged for Monday afternoons,

108

and of course anybody can drop in for a coffee or a sandwich.

109

The cafe bar will be open from 11am to 3pm,

110

and 6pm to 11pm, Mondays to Fridays.

111

11am to midnight Saturdays and Sundays.

112

Lunch will be served from half past 12 till 2 and light snacks will be available all day.

113

Of course this program is just the start and we expect to be announcing many additional events in the near future.

114

Now I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about becoming a member.

115

Membership benefits include reduced price tickets,

116

priority bookings and a monthly newsletter,

117

which will feature the latest details of forthcoming events,

118

plus details of other arts events in the local area.

119

The cost of membership is just £15 a year,

120

which I think is very reasonable.

121

To get a membership card,

122

you'll need to provide us with a passport-sized photo,

123

plus payment of course, by cash or cheque.

124

We can't accept credit cards,

125

I'm afraid, at least not for the moment.

126

We hope to have credit card payment facilities available in the not-too-distant future.

127

when you want to buy reduced price tickets,

128

you simply show your card at the box office or quote your membership number if you're making a telephone booking.

129

Generally, a membership card will save around 20% on the full ticket price,

130

so it really is very good value.

131

Now we come to the most important part, your suggestions.

132

It's your art centre, so we want to hear what you'd like to see.

133

Section 3.

134

John has applied to train as a teacher and is being interviewed.

135

In this stage of the interview,

136

the interviewer will discuss John's previous studies and work experiences.

137

Hello.

138

Come in and take a seat.

139

You are John Evans?

140

Yes, I am.

141

Well, as I'm sure you're aware,

142

the purpose of this part of the interview is to go over your CV

143

and talk a little further about your previous studies and experiences.

144

Yes.

145

So, your first degree was in French, of course?

146

Yes, with a minor in film studies.

147

Hmm.

148

An interesting combination.

149

Mostly French films, presumably.

150

Well, European cinema in general,

151

but with a bias towards French cinema.

152

Ah.

153

And your degree took four years?

154

Yes.

155

In the third year, I was an exchange student at Bruges University in Belgium.

156

Ah.

157

I was there for a full academic year, nine months.

158

Hmm, right.

159

Well, you graduated two years ago, and then you, er...

160

you took some time out, as it were.

161

Yes, I spent six months as a volunteer working on restoring historic buildings in France.

162

Was that with a well-known organisation?

163

They're called Restoration Vacations here,

164

but they operate under different names in several countries.

165

I think they're quite well-known.

166

So, it was a six-month vacation, really?

167

No, I went for a week,

168

but really liked it, and I got asked to stay on as a translator.

169

Because I could speak French quite well,

170

it was my job to liaise between the owners of the buildings and the English-speaking volunteers.

171

That must have been a very enjoyable experience.

172

Well, it was certainly a very enjoyable experience to begin with,

173

but after the first three months or so,

174

I actually got a bit bored.

175

I was talking about the same things every day.

176

Bricks, cement, window frames, that kind of thing.

177

It wasn't really stretching my French.

178

Also I wasn't getting paid,

179

just free accommodation and food, plus some pocket money.

180

Ah, I see.

181

So then you started working for a bank in Paris.

182

BCFC, I think.

183

Ah, yes.

184

Were you doing entirely translating again?

185

Well, translating was the major part of it,

186

mostly from English into French this time.

187

Official documents, letters, that kind of thing.

188

Much more challenging.

189

But I was also in charge of coordinating the translation work going on in the bank's offices in Switzerland,

190

Belgium and other parts of France.

191

Oh.

192

And what did that involve?

193

It was simple, really.

194

I just had to keep track of what had been translated in each office.

195

To save wasting time having the same document translated twice in different offices.

196

So, you stayed there for a year and a half and then you left.

197

Why was that?

198

Simple, to apply for this course.

199

I see.

200

Why give up a secure job in Paris to train as a teacher here?

201

I've always imagined that I'd be a teacher, really.

202

I loved being in Paris,

203

but I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life working for a bank.

204

Do you think your experiences in France will help you as a teacher of French?

205

It certainly helped my French.

206

and my experiences certainly gave me a much better understanding of French culture,

207

although that may not be of enormous use when it comes to standing up in front of a class of British 13-year-olds.

208

Perhaps not.

209

Well, thank you very much.

210

The next stage of the interview will be conducted by my colleague in room 207.

211

Section 4.

212

You will hear a talk about the Kentish pipe.

213

A 17th century musical instrument.

214

Good evening.

215

I'd like to introduce Geoffrey Rourke of the Early Music Foundation.

216

Geoffrey has recently restored a genuine 17th century Kentish pipe and,

217

as you all know, will be giving us a recital on it later this evening.

218

But first, he's kindly agreed to talk to us about this exciting and little-known instrument.

219

Thank you very much.

220

I'd like to begin, if I may,

221

by talking to you about the rather unusual construction of the Kentish pipe.

222

The main part of the instrument,

223

as you can see, is a long,

224

straight wooden tube, which we call the chanter.

225

This one is in beech wood,

226

but other woods were used.

227

At one end there is the airbag.

228

This rests under the arm of the player, like this.

229

The blowpipe

230

that inflates the airbag is quite long

231

and bends round the front of the body to be inserted in the mouth of the player.

232

Like this.

233

You see, the flexible nature of this tube is a unique feature of the Kentish pipe.

234

In my restored version here,

235

the blowpipe is, I'm sorry to confess, made out of plastic.

236

In the original version, it would have been made out of leather using an elaborate stitching and waxing technique.

237

However, the skills required to do this have now been lost.

238

Good old plastic was the only alternative we could come up with.

239

The airbag is obviously a modern replacement too.

240

This time it is made out of leather and,

241

as far as we can be certain,

242

is likely to be pretty much identical to the original.

243

A particularly soft and supple yet strong leather is required.

244

Ordinary shoe leather would start to crack in no time.

245

The main pipe, or chanter,

246

is original, of course, as its rather battered appearance makes obvious, I would imagine.

247

But it still sounds pretty good after nearly 400 years.

248

We can't actually put a precise date on it,

249

because the maker kindly inscribed it for us.

250

Just here.

251

You probably can't see it.

252

JD, the maker's initials, and the date 1634.

253

The most recent feature is the reed,

254

the part that actually makes the noise.

255

Although probably identical in every way to the original,

256

it is in fact a piece from a plant picked yesterday morning by my son by the river near our house.

257

So that's the construction.

258

But why bother with the bag, you may be wondering.

259

Why not just blow directly into the pipe?

260

Well, you can play the instrument that way.

261

You can just detach the bag like this and blow into this hole here.

262

But you need a lot of breath to do it.

263

Much more than say a flute or clarinet.

264

After a few notes, you have to stop to take a breath.

265

The bag allows the player to breathe while continuing to play.

266

This meant that music for the Kentish pipe could be loud and fast.

267

The way they liked it in Kent in the 17th century, no doubt.

268

So we have the pipe,

269

but unfortunately we don't have the music.

270

Not a single piece of music written specifically for the Kentish pipe has been found.

271

Luckily some of my colleagues from the Early Music Foundation have

272

adapted some traditional music from the period for the Kentish pipe

273

and we hope this will closely reflect the impression performances on the original instrument would have made.

274

During the recital, I'm also going to play some modern pieces ranging from rock to classical.

275

And I hope you'll agree with me that the instrument can bring its own special character to familiar tunes.

276

Well, thank you very much for that

277

and I'm sure we're looking forward very much to hearing you play it after the break.

278

you
