Now we are ready to start.

Speaker 1 (m)

My band did our first ever public performance last week. It was at a local festival and we were all really nervous before it. Personally I was dreading it because we hadn’t really rehearsed enough but it went really well. As soon as we started playing, the audience started dancing and we got more and more confident. It felt great to be part of something that sounded so good and that other people were really enjoying. I felt that I’d really achieved something.

Speaker 2 (f)

A friend of mine took me to meet her new boyfriend last week. I’d heard all about him from her and the way she painted him he was the most interesting person on the planet. The reality was somewhat different, though. He turned out to be one of the dullest people I’ve ever met – all he could talk about was himself and I’d had enough of that before long. I couldn’t wait for the evening to end, he was really getting on my nerves. I had thought I was going to be really jealous but I think she’s making a big mistake there.

Speaker 3 (m)

I went out to a café with some friends last Friday. They were all celebrating something – their football team had just won something – and they all got a bit carried away. They were all laughing and shouting and singing really loud and everyone was looking at us. It was awful, I didn’t know where to put my face. People were telling them to shut up and I didn’t want anyone to know I was with them. The whole thing made me really uncomfortable and in the end I just left.

Speaker 4 (f)

I went shopping with a friend of mine the other day. We were looking for something new to wear. It didn’t take her long to find something for her – she always seems to find something that looks great on her without any trouble. I, on the other hand, then trailed round loads of shops and couldn’t find a single thing that suited me. I really wished I was like her – straight into a shop and straight out with just what she wants. It’s never like that for me and I think she got really fed up waiting for me to find something.

Speaker 5 (m)

I went round to a friend’s place not long ago, and he surprised me by telling me all his personal problems. I’d had no idea that all these things were going on and it took him quite a long time to tell me all about them. Well, they seemed to me to be the sort of things that happen to most people but he was so upset that I felt really sorry for him and tried my best to cheer him up. I’m not sure if I did any good but I hope so.

Speaker 6 (f)

I went to a party last weekend and there were lots of people there that I didn’t know. They’d come from another region, a place I know very little about, and I got talking to them about their lives. It was incredible to hear them describing some of the things they do and the way they live and they told me lots of extraordinary things. We were talking together for ages and the conversation just went on and on. I was sorry when I had to go because there were lots more things I wanted to find out about.

You will hear five short stories or announcements. For items 7-11 circle 1, 2, 3 or 4 according to the answer option you choose. You will hear the recording twice.

North London Arts runs a diverse range of foundation degrees. Our speciality is giving learners skills that they can turn into employment or the qualifications to go on to study at degree level. Our higher education courses can provide opportunities for people who might otherwise think that higher education is not for them. The main features of foundation degrees are strong employer involvement, work placements and clear top-up routes to university degrees.

When asked to list the elements in food that can cause ill health, the usual suspects which people mention are fat, sugar and salt. I believe that most of us have a vague understanding of how fat and sugar can be harmful, ranging from ‘makes you fat’ to ‘rots your teeth’. But when it comes to salt, people seem unclear about why it must be limited. We do need a little salt in the diet, but what we require is found naturally in fresh produce and grains, so it is highly unlikely that you would ever need to make an effort to include it.

In planning her day, Melissa Briskman had not given the weather a thought. As she sat shivering outside a New York café in early February, her only defence against the winter storm forecast for that day was a light wool coat. ‘I just wear what I want to wear when I want to wear it,’ she told me. Melissa is a member of a small but influential group of New Yorkers, mostly young, who when temperatures plunge below freezing point ignore cold winds and conventional notions of dressing for the season. As a result, they might wear light summer dresses all year round. And now, designers are following their lead.

At 8pm tonight is the first of five parts in the award-winning series Big Bangs, first shown in 2000. This series is about important points in the history of music and the first part looks at the invention of notation – the use of written symbols for notes in music. The programme begins with the first ideas of marks above lyrics to indicate the tune. Always entertaining and highly informative, this is how documentaries should be.

Playgrounds in Britain must not be too safe if they are to attract children away from dangerous areas such as railway lines, canals and roadsides, an expert says. David Yearley, a play safety expert, says that places to play should be exciting and stimulating to contribute to children’s physical and psychological development. Playgrounds should be ‘as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible’. He says that parents must accept that children sometimes hurt themselves at play; the key was to make sure that they did not hurt themselves seriously. Years of concentrating solely on safety had led to the spread of ‘boring’ public play areas, he said. It was time to shift the focus to ‘controlled risk’.

You will hear an interview with a British basketball player who plays in the US. Decide which of the statements (12-20) are true according to the text (1), which are false (2) and on which the information is not stated in the text (3). Circle the number of the answer you choose. You’ll hear the recording twice.

Interviewer:

Today I’m talking to British basketball player Luol Deng, who is currently making all the right moves for the Chicago Bulls team in the NBA, the US basketball league. Luol, what’s the life of an NBA player like?

Basketball player:

Well, you’re either playing games or you’re practising. It’s hard but you get used to it. I’d rather be playing the games. It gets tiring but if you take care of your body and prepare the right way, you’ll be fine. We have 82 games per season, not counting the play-offs at the end of the season. If you go all the way and qualify for the play-offs, you end up playing more than 100 games. It’s a long season!

Interviewer:

Who’s been the toughest player you have faced in the NBA?

Basketball player:

Players always try to score against you, but I’ve always been amazed by how Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers does it. He has a very competitive nature and he finds a way to compete in every game. That is what makes him so good.

Interviewer:

Of course, perhaps the best-known basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, played for the Chicago Bulls, didn’t he? What sort of effect did he have on the team and the sport?

Basketball player:

Well, when you say the Chicago Bulls, the first thing people think of is Michael Jordan. You think of basketball, you think of Michael Jordan! That’s what he left behind. He changed the game so much. Everybody tries to be like him when they pick up the basketball – that’s how good he was.

Interviewer:

Now, what about the 2012 Olympics in London? Will you be leading a GB basketball team there?

Basketball player:

That’s exciting, not just for me but for British basketball. People are already asking ‘What’s going on?’ and ‘What kind of team are we going to be?’ People don’t know about all the players that we’ve got coming through now. There are a lot of good young players coming up. I think we’re going to have a good team in 2012.
