Test 5A 5B listening.0:00
Speaker 1 Can you believe it?0:05
It rained every day we were there.0:08
I wasn't expecting the weather to be brilliant, but I thought it would be a bit warmer because we went in July.0:10
I took all the wrong clothes and managed to catch a cold.0:16
I had to spend a couple of days in bed and missed out on a lot of the sightseeing.0:19
Speaker 2 My family and I had such a lovely holiday last Christmas.0:26
We decided to go skiing in Scotland.0:31
When we arrived, the sun was out and it was really warm.0:34
As a result, there was absolutely no snow whatsoever.0:38
But overnight the snow came, lots of it, and we had perfect conditions for the rest of the week.0:41
We had a happy Christmas too, with lots of good food.0:47
Speaker 3 Portugal is well worth a visit, but you should avoid going at Easter.0:52
It is such a popular destination at that time of year.0:58
You have to book somewhere to stay before you go.1:02
My friend Diana and I made the mistake of buying flights only to Lisbon.1:05
And so we spent a lot of our time on the phone trying to find guest houses with rooms available.1:09
It would have been better to go on an all inclusive city break.1:15
Speaker 4 I was feeling a little anxious because I was travelling on my own and was arriving in Paris late at night.1:21
Fortunately, the friend I was staying with gave me detailed notes on how to get to her house.1:28
But I got on the underground to find out that some of the stations were closed.1:32
I ended up getting a taxi instead.1:36
Speaker 5 When I went on a package holiday to Spain last year, I I stayed in a hotel by the sea.1:40
It was a beautiful location, right on the beach and when I arrived I thought I was going to have the perfect holiday.1:47
I was so disappointed with the quality of the meals.1:57
Next time I will only pay for bed and breakfast, not full board.2:00
It's better to eat out in restaurants.2:04
Speaker 6 if you ever go on a city break, take my advice.2:08
Go for more than two days.2:13
It is so exhausting if you want to see everything.2:15
When I was in Istanbul a few years ago, I took a lot of photos of the main attractions.2:19
So I had a lot of impressions to share with my friends when I came back.2:24
But the two days I was there were really hectic and hardly pleasurable.2:28
