Although most critics agree that the novel is her best ever,
My daughter wanted me to help her with her homework
Although snow is now unlikely,
My brother was so scared he couldn't watch the film
Whereas in most of his other films he plays the 'baddie'.

Listening part one Multiple choice

You will hear people talking in eight different situations. For questions 1-8, choose the best answer, A, B or C.

I used to think he was so good looking - those sparkling blue eyes and that sexy smile - but now of course the wrinkles have taken over and he's lost it completely. Call me old-fashioned, but I really don't think that somebody of his age should be wearing tight trousers and flowery shirts. It's obscene. And the way he talks to the press! I mean, 'politeness' is just not a word he understands. I'm not surprised they get upset and give him bad reviews.

1 Listen to this woman talking about an actor. What is her opinion of him?

So, have you decided which film we're going to see, then?
Well, I really wanted to see the new Fiona Miller film which everyone is raving about.

Oh, please,.no!
I couldn't stand another costume drama.
No, this one's very different from her others.
She plays the part of an out-of-work spy who decides to turn to crime and begin a life as a jewel thief. But anyway, Katie says it's not her cup of tea, so I'm afraid it's 'get your handkerchief ready for another tear-jerker'. You know the plot already: boy meets girl, girl meets another boy, first boy gets upset - all that kind of nonsense

Question No. /

2 You overhear this conversation between two friends. What type of film are they going to see?

So what made you decide to do a storytelling course?
Well, a friend of mine who did it last year recommended it to me.
She thought I might enjoy it - and she was right. It was great fun, really laid-back and everyone was very supportive. It gave me the courage I needed - and the self-belief - to be able to stand up and speak in front of a group of people.
So are you going to be leaving us to take up a career as a storyteller, then?

No, I like working here too much.

Ha-ha! That's a good story.

Question No. /

3 You hear a man telling a woman about a storytelling course he attended. What does he say about the course?

Drained, darling, absolutely drained. And have you read what the critics wrote about it? I don't know how anyone could say it was 'disappointing'. I mean, OK, so it's not the most exciting part I've ever had to play but I gave it my all, absolutely everything. One look at my face will tell you just how utterly exhausted I am. I could sleep for a week.

Question No. /

4 You hear an actress talking about her performance in a play. How does she feel?

What do you think we should get him? An atlas! That's not very much I know he's interested in geography, but he's been with the company for nearly 25 years. I really don't think an atlas would express our appreciation for all he's done for the firm. He's been like a father to us all ... I don't know, something that will remind him of us in his retirement, something he can use on a regular basis. How about an e-book reader or a decent video camera - that kind of thing?

Question No. /

5 You overhear this man talking on the telephone. Who is he talking to?

What was it like?
Oh. don't ask.
I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Too violent for you, was it?

Hmm ... Quite the opposite.
I mean, at first there was the usual dose of gratuitous violence - basically what you'd expect from that type of film, and partly why I went to see it. After that, though, not a great deal happened. From what I can remember - when I wasn't falling asleep, that is - the script seemed to focus on an analysis of the protagonist's inner self.
A kind of 'non-action film', then.

Exactly.

Question No. /

6 You hear a young woman talking to her friend about a film. Why didn't she like it?

Hello, yes, it's about a book I bought in your shop last week. A Katharine Adams novel. I just wanted to point out that there were one or two pages missing ... No, no, there's really no need to apologize. I mean it's not as if it was the last page or anything. And I got the gist of what was happening without the pages. I just thought you ought to know so you can check the rest of your stock, or talk to the publishers or something ... That's OK ... Yes, pages 60 to 64 ...

Question No. /

7 You hear a woman telephoning a bookshop. What is she doing?

Well. we were born in the same month, but I'm a Leo, as you know, whereas her birthday's at the beginning of July, which makes her a Cancer. I don't know if that's good or bad. We certainly seem to laugh at the same things; the same jokes, the same comedy programmes ... Sorry? ...
Oh, next Friday.
We're going to a jazz concert, although I can't say it's my favourite type of music. She's really into it, and she wanted me to go, so ...

2 Read the following short story and choose the best title a-c.

Roisin always a) took after her dad. Her mother was a calm, laid-back person, but Roisin, like her father, was ambitious. She had to be the best at everything, and that included Irish dancing, which she b) took up at the age of eight. She c) took to it immediately, and knew after just a few lessons, that she wanted to be a world champion. Her teachers were impressed: once she'd learnt a new dance routine, her feet seemed to d) take over and she would move across the floor with incredible agility.

Shortly before her first World Championships in Glasgow, Raisin's teacher e) took her aside during the lesson and reminded her that, whilst she had every confidence in her, the competition would be tough. Full of self-belief, Raisin took no notice and was convinced she would win. When she finished sixth, she was devastated and just couldn't f) take in the fact that she hadn't come first. She never did win a championship, but she eventually learnt to love dancing for itself rather than as a means to be the best. Then, three years ago Raisin's dancing career g) took off when she was h) taken on as a dancer with an Irish dance company that travels the world. There's no competing, only supporting - and she's never been happier.
