Test 3 Listening Speaker 1 I know the work they do for the homeless is fantastic and they do raise a lot of money to help, but really I would never buy anything from there.0:00
I'd like to, but I'm not keen on buying something second hand when I can find what I want somewhere else brand new.0:16
I'm not saying the shop should close down though.0:23
Speaker 2 I know that young people today are busier than my generation used to be.0:27
Their schoolwork is more demanding and there's extra pressure to go to university or college.0:35
But this doesn't mean that they shouldn't help out their parents though.0:41
I mean, if they organise their schedules better, they can find a couple of hours in the day to help out with the housework or even get a part time job so they can have their own money.0:45
Speaker 3 I'm sure some people find credit cards useful at times when they need to spend more money than they have, but everyone I know that has a credit card finds it difficult to pay it off.0:59
I think our lives would be easier if this plastic temptation didn't even exist.1:13
Speaker 4 When the envelope containing my exam results arrived, I couldn't have been more anxious.1:19
I was sure I hadn't passed at least half of my exams and that I got terrible marks in the rest of them.1:28
What would I tell my parents?1:34
But when I opened the envelope I was far from disappointed.1:37
I had received top marks for all my exams.1:41
Speaker 5 the money I get from working in the cafe is really good.1:46
My parents couldn't afford to give me more pocket money so they suggested I get a part time job.1:53
At first I didn't want one.1:59
I thought it would be really tiring going to work after school, but now I wouldn't have it any other way.2:02
Speaker 6 the interview was going really well until he asked me about my previous experience and then I just didn't have anything to say.2:10
All my friends had told me to lie about it, but I told him honestly that I had never had a job before.2:19
In the end he told me he really appreciated my honesty and that I could start working for them as soon as I could.2:26
