that Australian soap opera.
L: Really!?
E: Yeah I like it because I really love Australia and it’s
sunny every day on the show, not like here!
L: OK, so what don’t you like watching?
E: Well, I hate reality TV shows and I don’t like
sports programmes either.
L: Ah, I love sports programmes, especially about
football – Match of the day is my favourite.
E: No, I’m not interested in watching sport at all,
I much prefer comedy shows and chat shows –
I really enjoy watching chat shows when they talk
to famous film stars.
L: But it’s only good if they’re funny. Sometimes the
stars can be really boring.
E: So, what’s your favourite TV programme then?
L: I love comedy shows. I’m a big fan of
Modern Family.
E: Oh, I don’t know that series.
L: It’s great! It’s about a big family in Los Angeles in
the USA. Lots of funny things happen – it’s like a

2 I usually get my favourite cycling magazine here
but they haven’t got any today. I think I’m a

opens. Oh well, I can get a newspaper for Mum
and Dad. I don’t know why they get a newspaper
… they never have time to read it!
3 I’m looking for a smartphone because I got a
lot of money for my birthday. I’m really excited
because all my friends have got smartphones. I’ve
got a part-time job so before my birthday I saved
all my money from my job too. Right now I’m
waiting for a shop assistant to help me.
4 I’m waiting to talk to the shop assistant. My
mum isn’t very well so she went to the doctor’s

what happened?

was about 7.30 and so it was dark.
When I came into our street I saw a light on in
our house. I thought it was strange because
my husband is never at home on Tuesday
evenings … he has his Spanish class … and Tom,
my son, was at his friend’s house.
P: So what happened next?
W: I walked up to the house and opened the door
very quietly. I was really scared! Suddenly a
young man ran past me into the garden.
P: Can you describe him?
W: It all happened very quickly, but while he was
running away, he dropped his bag – he was
carrying a bag – and all of our things fell out.
I ran after him but he was very fast.
P: What was he wearing? Did you see?
W: I think he was wearing jeans and a hoodie but
I’m not sure.
P: Did you see his face?
W: No, I’m sorry, I didn’t, but I’m quite sure he had

Unit 5. Standard Test. Listening. Exercise 9.

1 I never go into Emma’s bedroom, it’s so messy.
I’m always telling her to tidy it but she doesn’t
listen – she just tells me that it’s her room and
she can do what she wants. I suppose she’s no
different from any other teenager but she really
should listen to me sometimes!
2 When I get stressed or I’m feeling a bit sad, I
always go and have a long, hot shower or bath!
I love my bathroom. The bath’s really big so you
can really relax in there. I often read a book when
I’m in the bath – which isn’t easy! Mum and Dad
have their own bathroom so it’s easy to escape
and have time to relax alone.
3 My favourite room is the kitchen! I love cooking
but I don’t have much time to do it. I never use
a microwave or any of those modern appliances
because I think you should use traditional
methods. My wife says I’m really messy when
I cook but I hate washing-up so I’m very happy
that we have a dishwasher!
4 I don’t know why Jack thinks the sofa is his
personal property. He always sits on the sofa
watching the TV every night after school, and all
day at the weekend – I can’t watch any of my
programmes! When he’s in the living room, I just
leave and go and watch TV in my bedroom.
5 We all help Mum and Dad with the housework
at the weekend. That’s how we earn our pocket
money! I usually take the clothes out of the
washing machine and clean the microwave.
My sisters, Lisa and Laura, usually clean the
bathroom together. We all tidy our bedrooms

M: A 3D printer? What’s that?
D: It’s a printer which prints objects in
three dimensions.
M: In three dimensions?

into a computer and the 3D printer builds a
physical copy of the design. You can make lots of
different things.

1 It was one of those days when everything goes
wrong. The traffic was really bad because of the
cold weather so I decided to walk. I was walking
too quickly because I thought I was going to be
late and I didn’t see the patch of white in front of
me and then, bam … I was on the floor! Luckily,
I didn’t break anything but I felt really stupid!
2 I’ve never felt as much pain as I felt that day! It
was absolute agony. I was getting out of the car
and my hand was inside the door when suddenly
the wind blew the door closed. It got three of
my fingers. I went to the hospital but the doctor
said it wasn’t serious. I’m more careful with car
doors now!
3 It was very foggy that night so I was driving
very slowly but it’s not just about you, is it? It’s
amazing how fast people drive when they can’t
see what’s in front of them … and well … that’s
what happened to me. The woman behind
me didn’t stop in time and went into the back
of my car. Luckily, we weren’t going fast so I
wasn’t hurt.
4 It was the first day of our school skiing trip. It
was a beautiful day with blue skies and bright
sunshine. The snow was perfect too so we all put
on our skiing things and went up the mountain.
I’m not great at skiing but I’m not bad either.
Anyway, that day I didn’t see the rock and I skied
right into it. Yep, I spent the rest of the holiday in
the local hospital with my leg in plaster. I couldn’t
walk for another four months!

Unit 8. Extra Test. Listening. Exercise 9.
Listen to five speakers talking about
accidents they’ve had. Write the accidents.
1 It was one of those days when everything goes
wrong. The traffic was really bad because of the
cold weather so I decided to walk. I was walking
too quickly because I thought I was going to be
late and I didn’t see the patch of white in front of
me and then, bam … I was on the floor! Luckily,
I didn’t break anything but I felt really stupid!
2 I’ve never felt as much pain as I felt that day! It
was absolute agony. I was getting out of the car
and my hand was inside the door when suddenly
the wind blew the door closed. It got three of
my fingers. I went to the hospital but the doctor
said it wasn’t serious. I’m more careful with car
doors now!
3 It was very foggy that night so I was driving
very slowly but it’s not just about you, is it? It’s
amazing how fast people drive when they can’t
see what’s in front of them … and well … that’s
what happened to me. The woman behind
me didn’t stop in time and went into the back
of my car. Luckily, we weren’t going fast so I
wasn’t hurt.
4 It was the first day of our school skiing trip. It
was a beautiful day with blue skies and bright
sunshine. The snow was perfect too so we all put
on our skiing things and went up the mountain.
I’m not great at skiing but I’m not bad either.
Anyway, that day I didn’t see the rock and I skied
right into it. Yep, I spent the rest of the holiday in
the local hospital with my leg in plaster. I couldn’t
walk for another four months!
5 My sister and I were making a surprise dinner
for Mum because it was her birthday. Dad did
the shopping and then we cooked the food.
What a stupid thing to do… I opened the oven
to take the cake out and didn’t think to use an
oven glove so guess what? … OUCH … And I
dropped the cake as well! That’s the last time I
do any baking!

Unit 9. Standard Test. Listening. Exercise 9.
Listen to friends, Rob and Louisa, talking
about a recent wedding. Circle the
correct answers.
Rob: So, how was the wedding? I’m really sorry I
couldn’t come.
Louisa: It was great.
R: I’ve spoken to Ben and he’s going to send me
some photos. How was he on the day? He was
so nervous when I saw him the day before. I’ve
never seen him like that.
L: Well, it is one of the biggest days of your
life, isn’t it? I think it’s quite normal to be a
bit stressed.
R: True, and what about Clare?
L: She looked beautiful and so happy!
R: Did she cry? You know what she’s like.
L: No, she didn’t, but I’m sure I saw a tear in Ben’s
eye! Clare’s mum certainly cried a lot.
R: What about the reception party at the hotel
after? How many people were there?
L: There were about fifty. I was sitting with Clare’s
relatives. I didn’t realise she had such a big family.
R: Was Jack there?
L: Who’s Jack?
R: You know, Ben’s ‘interesting’ friend.
L: Oh, yes. He was the best man! He made a
terrible speech – he told all these embarrassing
stories about Ben! And then after at the party, he
was even worse.
R: Why? What did he do?
L: You can imagine. You’ve seen him at parties
before, haven’t you? He’s always the same.
R: Oh well, I’m sure Ben and Clare still had a
good time.
L: Yes, they did. And the meal was fantastic and the
band was great. We danced really late at night.
R: I can’t wait to see the photos. Do you know
when they will be back from holiday?
L: I think they’re away for two weeks but I’m
sure they’ll invite us to their house when
they’re home.
