Planning a Trip to a Summer Festival

ANNOUNCER: Section 1. You will hear a conversation between two friends called George and Nina about a summer music festival. First, you have some time to look at questions 1 and 2. You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.

NINA: Hi, George. Glad you're back. Loads of people have phoned you. GEORGE: Really? NINA: I felt just like your secretary. GEORGE: Sorry. I went to the library this afternoon to read a newspaper, and I found something really interesting. NINA: What? A book? GEORGE: No, a brochure from a summer festival, mainly Spanish music. Look, I've got it here.

ANNOUNCER: George says that he found a brochure from a festival, so B has been circled as the answer.

NINA: Spanish music. I really love the guitar. Let's have a look. NINA: What's this group called Guitarrini? GEORGE: They're really good. I saw a video of the festival in the library lobby. GEORGE: They play drums, flutes, and different kinds of guitars. I've never heard anything like it. NINA: Sounds amazing. GEORGE: Shall we go to the festival? NINA: Yes, let's. GEORGE: The only problem is that there are no cheap seats. All tickets cost the same. NINA: In that case, we could sit at the front and get a great view. GEORGE: Maybe, but I think you can hear the music better from the back. NINA: Anyway, we can decide when we get there.

ANNOUNCER: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 3 to 10. Now listen and answer questions 3 to 10.

NINA: Shall I fill in the booking form? GEORGE: I'll do it. GEORGE: Name: George O'Neill. GEORGE: Address: 48 North Avenue, Westsea. GEORGE: Do you remember our new postcode? NINA: Yes, it's written here: WS62YH. NINA: Do you need the phone number too? GEORGE: Yes please. NINA: It's 01674553242. NINA: Let's book two tickets for Guitarrini. GEORGE: OK, if you're happy paying £7.50 each. GEORGE: What about the singer? NINA: I wasn't sure at first, but there's something interesting on the form. GEORGE: What? NINA: Free refreshments. GEORGE: Really? NINA: Yes. The concert on Sunday 17 June costs £6.00 and includes drinks in the garden. GEORGE: That sounds like a great deal. NINA: Let's book two tickets for that as well. NINA: What about the pianist on 22 June? GEORGE: That's my evening class night. NINA: That's fine. I'll go alone. NINA: But we can both go to the Spanish dance and guitar concert. GEORGE: Yes, and we could invite Tom and Kieran. GEORGE: Wow! Tickets are £10.50 each. We'll need four tickets. NINA: Look, students, children, and senior citizens get a 50% discount. GEORGE: If only we were students!

ANNOUNCER: That is the end of Section 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
