All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four parts. Write all your answers in the Listening question booklet.

Part One. You will hear a woman called Jan telephoning a man about booking a place on a residential workshop.
0:50
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
1:19
You now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
1:26
Hello, Creative Center.
Hello there. I'm phoning to book a place on your next two-day drama workshop.
Okay, let me just check… Yes, we’ve still got room on that course.
Great. Can I have your full name?
Yes, it's Jan Creswick. That's C-R-E-S-W-I-C-K.
Thanks, Jan. And are you coming on your own?
Yes.
And have you done any of our courses before?
Yes, I did one a couple of years ago.
Great. So you may be on our computer records. Which course did you do?
The Writing for the Theatre course.
Okay, right. Yes, here we are.
2:17
Oh, so that's 20 Gregory Avenue.
Gregory Place, actually.
Okay, I'll correct that on the computer.
Uh-huh.
And can I ask if you work?
Yes, I want to be an actor, but I'm working as a waitress at the moment. After this course, who knows?
Right. Back to the paperwork. So we're enrolling you on the two-day course that starts tomorrow, the 30th of May… Oh, sorry, no, on the 13th of June.
I meant the one starting in two weeks. Is that still all right?
Oh, that's fine.
2:59
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
3:30
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
3:37
Can you tell me something about accommodation?
Yes, people usually come the evening before the course starts. The cost of the course includes accommodation for two nights.
Well, I'll make sure I'm there in good time so I can meet the others that evening and settle in. Is 5:30 too early to arrive?
No, that's fine, and you'll finish no later than five o’clock on the last day.
Right, okay.
Right, just a few other things. Any dietary information we should know? All the food is provided and we use organic produce as often as we can.
Oh, that sounds great, but I don't eat anything that's made from milk. I know that can be difficult.
Oh, it's not a problem. What about meat? Do you eat that?
I don't eat much of it, but that's fine. You don't need to note that.
Sure.
4:35
Hey, I am really looking forward to this.
Great. I don't know if you know this, but we may divide into two groups in the afternoon if we have more than 16 people on the course. If we do that, there’ll be a choice of doing comic, or what we call classic, work.
Oh, I'd always go with comedy. I'm much more interested in that.
5:00
Now, how did you find out about this course? Was it the adverts in the Sunday newspaper?
No, in fact, I looked for drama courses on the internet, and I saw that you were doing one. When I read about it, I just thought, “Hey, why not?”
Okay. I saw that you send out some pre-course material.
Yes.
I don't have much time to read any of the books you're recommending, but I'd be grateful for your leaflet, the one you mentioned in your publicity.
Sure. I'll put a copy in the post to you.
Thanks a lot. I can't wait.
Wait till you see what we have.
5:40
That is the end of Part One. You now have one minute to check your answers to Part One.
