Listen to John and Alice speaking about health problems and answer the questions below.

1. How did John hurt his leg?

2. What did the doctor recommend?

3. What was wrong with Alice last week?

Script:

John: Hi Alice.

Alice: Did you hurt your foot*? It looks terrible!

John: Yes, it doesn't look good, does it? Oh, I was so stupid. I was playing with a ball, and it got stuck up a tree. The only way to get it back was to go up the tree, I thought, so I got my dad's ladder*, and started climbing up that, but then I slipped, and so me and the ladder came crashing down. I landed badly on my foot, and so here we are.

Alice: What did the doctor say?

John: She said it's not actually broken, and basically said I shouldn't worry — it will fully recover. In the meantime I have to do some gentle exercise. So I have to rest a lot. But it's OK, I can watch TV a lot. And eat, too. I always love having soup when I'm not well — it's really nice. What about that skin thing you had last week, your amazing spots?

Alice: Last month, yes. There were so many — they seemed funny to me, but I know my parents were worried.

John: I remember I thought they were pretty strange. And is it right they were part of an allergy?

Alice: Yes, a bad allergic reaction. So now I must never have any strawberries. As long as I don't, I'm OK.

John: Ooh, that's not fair. Strawberries are the best fruit!

Listen to Anna and David speaking about a film and answer the questions below.

1. What type of film did the people see?

2. What does Anna think of the film?

3. What does David advise her to do?

 

Script:

David: So, Anna, what did you think of the film? Anna: Well, David, when you suggested going... David: Oh I see, blame me, is it?

Anna: Oh no, I agreed to come, although, generally speaking, it's just not my kind of film, you know, historical. However, it turned out pretty well, as far as I'm concerned.

David: That's a relief, then.

Anna: Actually, you know, I'd forgotten to eat before we went, so I kept wanting it to end — very silly. It stopped me concentrating properly, so the film seemed to go on too long. And you, David?

David: Well, it's true it was long, but that's because it needed to be, I think. It's a complicated story.

Anna: Hm, which doesn't make it a good one, I'm afraid. But the setting of the film, and the changes between locations were all good, and kept you involved — actually, in spite of the story, if you see what I mean.

David: Maybe you should do what I did then...

Anna: Which is?..

David: Read the book. I read it, I suppose, a year ago, I loved it. That was the other thing that made me want to go. But the book is still the more interesting version. So, do try it, Anna.

Anna: OK, maybe I will.

Listen to the coach speaking about training and race preparation and answer the questions below.

1. What does the coach advise cyclers to do?

2. What does "the right attitude" mean?

3. Why is it important to eat healthy food and learn to relax?

 

Script:   

Good evening, everyone. I'll just say a few words about training and race preparation.

The first thing of all is your machine. Choosing the right bike for you is the main thing. But no less important than that is making sure you're wearing the proper clothes. You need them to protect yourself. OK, but it's not all visible things that are important.

You can have the best bike in the world, but you won't win anything unless you build up the right attitude. If you don't expect to win, don't believe you're going to, then you won't. And an integral part of this is wanting to get better — you need ambition if you're going to get better and stronger and faster. And you also need a bit of intelligence to go with it. So educate yourself.

Tension can be a real enemy. Make sure you know how to relax in the time when you're not on your bike. Then you re-charge your batteries. Stressed out riders don't win — they just get to the doctors quicker!

Related to this is diet. Without the right products going in, your body won't give off its best. Your body is as much of a machine as your bike, so look after it. Don't smoke, drink, stay up late — always keep healthy. Well, those are the basics. And now let's start.

Listen to the three people speaking about how they spend their weekends and answer the questions below.

1. What does the first speaker do at the weekend?

2. What does the second speaker do at the weekend?

3. What does the third speaker do at the weekend?

Script:

Speaker 1: Well, I try to make the most of my weekends, especially in the summer, when you've got more chance to get outside. I know some people like seeing films or concerts, but it's important to me to keep fit, so I always do plenty of running, and, say, tennis or swimming. There are usually some friends around to join in.

Speaker 2: The truth is, I really look forward to the weekend, and then when it finally arrives, most of the time I'm completely broken. So then when all my friends start calling up, "Where are we going tonight?" and so on, I end up staying in, being very lazy, maybe just watching a bit of TV, a film on DVD, something like that.

Speaker 3: I'm studying so hard at the moment for my exams that I can't go wild at the weekends. But I like going to the park with my friends sometimes, or maybe going for a bike ride by myself. It depends. I tend to be more active in the winter, actually — going to the gym, or helping my dad with stuff in the house. I might see a friend or two, especially if there's some sport to watch, then we can watch a match together.
