all those huge decisions and ...
M Yes, I suppose we’re better off as college lecturers
even though the pay’s not so good.
F
Well, she doesn’t seem to find it too much of a
strain. She looks more attractive than ever.
M Do you think so? I suppose you’re right actually.
Now I come to think of it, I always used to think her
mother was more attractive than her when we were
at school. It must be a family that ages well.
F
Lucky them! Well, you’ve got a chance to enjoy
looking at her again tonight. There’s a programme
about her on TV.
M Are you sure? There was one on last night. I
watched the football on the other channel but I
noticed it was on.
F
No, they’re repeating it. So who else do you think’ll

That is the end of Part 4.
TEST SEVEN
Now open your test paper and look at Part 1.
You will hear people talking in eight different
situations. For questions 1-8, choose the best

M I’ve had such a frustrating day!
F
Oh dear. I’m sorry to hear that. What happened?
M Well, my mother-in-law’s arriving from Canada next
week and I’ve been trying to get some theatre
tickets for her. I know she’d love to see that new
musical that’s had such good reviews and she could
go at any time in the month she’ll be here.
F
So what’s the problem then?
M Well, each time I tried ringing the theatre I was told I
was in a queue and would I please hang on, my call
would be answered as soon as possible.
F
Mm, I hate that.
M Then finally after about 45 minutes of waiting I got
connected to a real human and my boss chose that
moment to walk into the office. I had to hang up and
pretend I’d been making a business call. I’ll have to
try again from home tonight, I suppose.
