Henry: I’d like to reserve two seats at 4.50 pounds, please.

Clerk: Right. That’s two tickets at 4.50 pounds. Saturday, 5 p.m. performance. What's the name please？

Clara: That number has been engaged for ages. Nobody can be that popular. I

wonder if her number has been changed. I think I’ll try again.

(Sound of dialing and ringing tone.)

Sue: 334 6791.

Clara: Is that you, Sue？

Sue: Who's calling？

Clara: This is Clara. Clara Ferguson. Don't you remember me？

Sue: Clara！ Of course I remember you. How are you？ I haven’t heard from you for at least two years. What are you doing？

Clara: Nothing very exciting. That’s one reason I’m ringing. I need some advice. Sue: Advice. Hmm. That’s good one. I’ve just been sacked.

Clara: There are the pips. Hang on, Sue.

Clara: What do you mean ... you’ve just been sacked？ Sue, you’re the most successful woman I know.

Sue: That’s probably why I’ve been sacked. But let’s talk about you. You said you needed some advice.

Clara: I certainly do. I wanted to ask you about interviews. Have you had a lot of them？

Sue: Yes, I have. Too many.

Clara: So, could you tell me the sort of questions you're usually asked？

Sue: Let me think. The first ten questions are almost always the same. I call them the ‘whys’, ‘hows’, ‘wheres’.

(Sound of pips.)

Clara: Not again. Don’t go away, Sue. I’ve got one more coin.

Clara: Are you there, Sue？

Sue: Yes, I’m still here.

Clara: Sorry, I didn’t understand what you were telling me. Could you repeat it？ Sue: It’s very boring, but here you are:

I’m always asked:

Why I want to leave my present job.

Why I am interested in the new job.

How I intend to get to work.

How long I intend to stay in the job.

Where I live.

Where I went to school.

How much I’m paid in my present job.

How much I expect to be paid in the new job.

Oh yes. I’m always asked if I’m married.

(Sound of pips.)

Clara: That’s it, Sue. No more coins. I’ll write to you soon... and many thanks. Section Three:

Dictation.

Dictation 1:

I am not going out with George again. Last week he invited me to go to a football

match. I do not like football, so it was silly of me to say yes. We did not have seats, so we had to stand for two hours in the rain. I was cold and wet and I could not see a thing. So I asked George to take me home. He got very angry and said some very unpleasant things.

Dictation 2:

Last week the sun shone and it got quite hot. I decided to put on my light grey summer trousers. But I got a shock. I could not put them on. They were too small. It is possible that they got smaller during the winter, but I do not think so. I am afraid I got bigger. So I am going to eat less and I am going to take more exercise. I am definitely going to lose some weight.
