Section Two Listening Comprehension



Part 1 Dialogue



Dialogue 1 Where are you living now?



Interviewer: You say you moved out of London five years ago?

Alistair: Yes, I did. I lived in Hampstead.

Interviewer: That’s very close to the centre, isn’t it?

Alistair: Yes, quite close. I went to work by bicycle— I worked in Oxford Street. It took about half an hour.

Interviewer: And why did you move? Did you change jobs?

Alistair: Well, yes, I did. I worked for an advertising agency then. Now I work for a newspaper. But that isn’t the reason. I moved because London is so dirty and there’s so much stress…

Interviewer: And now you live in…

Alistair: Oh, right in the country. The nearest station is rather far, about 15 miles away, but the village is fairly close to London, about 40 miles. I still work in London.

Interviewer: So how long does it take you to get to work?

Alistair: Oh, less than an hour and a half, door to door.

Dialogue 2 Have you ever lived abroad?



Interviewer: Have you ever lived abroad, Phyllis?

Phyllis: Yes, I have actually. What about you?

Interviewer: No, unfortunately I haven’t.
