You hear two friends talking about a festival they have just attended.0:05
What do they disagree about?0:09
A. How good the music was.0:11
B. The variety of activities offered.0:13
C. The closing ceremony.0:16
I sure had a great time!0:20
We should definitely go again next year.0:22
And the final evening with the fireworks and fantastic bands was a great ending to it all.0:25
It certainly was an impressive finish to the 3 days, but I would have liked to have done a few other things besides see art and listen to music.0:30
The concerts were so great!0:39
There was such a variety of bands, it was so entertaining!0:41
What else could you ask for?0:45
Look, don't get me wrong, all that was nice.0:47
I just found it a bit repetitive.0:50
It would have been nice if there were other things to do besides the concerts and art exhibits.0:53
You hear a circus performer interviewed on the radio.1:01
Why did he join the circus?1:04
A) To follow a family tradition.1:06
B) To pursue his love of performing.1:09
C) To have the opportunity to travel the world.1:12
Your job is quite unusual.1:17
How did you get involved with the circus?1:19
Well, my mother was a gymnast, and I learned a lot from her.1:22
She loved to perform, and I must have got that same passion from her.1:25
I realised from a young age that I liked to entertain people, so when I saw the advert for auditions for a circus, I thought it was a great way to make money and do what I liked to do.1:29
So, did it turn out the way you expected?1:39
Absolutely, I enjoy every minute of it, especially the travelling and experiencing new places.1:43
I never expected to enjoy that so much, but it really has made a difference to the job.1:48
You will hear a photographer talking about his job.1:56
How does he feel about his work?1:59
A) He is proud to see his work on display.2:01
B) He wants his work to be seen by more people.2:05
C) He is pleased his work helps others.2:08
Everyone asks me how exciting it must be to have my work shown in top galleries.2:13
Of course, it is a compliment, but what I am really grateful for is that my pictures bring attention to the problem of homelessness in our society.2:18
And that sales of my photos raise money for shelters.2:25
I just wish more people would support art with a social conscience, either by buying it or going to galleries like the ones I show in.2:28
It can really make a difference.2:36
You hear part of a broadcast about a competition.2:41

To extend an invitation.3:29
To make a suggestion.3:32
To apologize for something.3:34
I'm so sorry you couldn't make it to the concert.3:39
I should have invited you earlier.3:42
So you could have changed your work schedule in time.3:44
I feel really bad you missed it, but I have an idea, and that's why I'm calling.3:47
Why don't you call Peter and Joe?3:52
They are going to the concert on Wednesday night.3:54
Perhaps you can join them.3:57
I'm sure they won't mind.3:59
You hear two teenagers talking in a shop.4:06
Why doesn't the girl buy the dress?4:08
A) It's not what she is looking for.4:11
b) It's not the right size.4:13
c) She doesn't like the style.4:16
I already told you, Shannon.4:20
It's a formal party, and I need a long dress.4:23
Yes, but that style and colour really suit you.4:26
I know, and it fits perfectly, but it's too short for an evening dress.4:30
I'll look for something dressier.4:37
You hear an announcement at a festival.4:42
Which event is new this year?4:45
a) Dog sled competition.4:47
Welcome once again to the Westville Winter Carnival!4:56
One highlight not to be missed is the dog sled racing.5:00
The reigning champion team led by Gerald Tykes will attempt to keep their title this year in a race full of speed, excitement, and a lot of barking.5:04
Newcomers to the festival should definitely check out the sleigh rides and snow slides, a definite festival favourite.5:15
On the final night, we will have the final judging of the ice sculptures and prizes.5:24
As well as our first-time-ever crowning of a Snow Queen.5:29
Festival guides are available at the ticket booths.5:36
Enjoy the cold, everyone!5:39
You hear a teenager talking about an art class he is taking.5:44
What does he think of it?5:48
It is helping him develop his talent.5:50
It is fun and relaxing.5:53
C) It is very challenging.5:55
To tell the truth, I thought it would be an easy A and a way to take a break from all the studying and have a good time with some of my friends.5:59
I sure was in for the surprise of my life!6:08
I have a lot of preparation to do for every class and the assignments are tricky.6:11
The teacher is demanding and strict.6:17
She really expects us to improve and use our talents to the fullest.6:20
So, I guess if I want a good mark, I'm really going to have to work hard and use whatever talent I've got.6:24
