Pause 00’05”

R1 Question 1

(a) What did the man buy in the clothes shop?

(b) Who did the man buy it for?

M: male, thirties, Australian

F: female, thirties, Australian

M: * I went to that new clothes shop in town yesterday.

F: Oh, I’ve heard they’ve got some great stuff!

M: Yeah ... although I went in thinking I’d buy a jumper, but nothing appealed. There was a scarf I
liked, but it was expensive ...

F: Right.

M: Then I spotted a shirt that was a real bargain, so I came home with that instead.

F: Don’t you have loads of those already?

M: Well, I’ve got a cousin that absolutely hates shopping for clothes – it’ll be perfect for him. I really
wanted to find a present for a neighbour, but I couldn’t see anything suitable. I’ve got a colleague
who’s always buying clothes, though – he’ll love that shop! **

R1 Question 2

(a) Where did the woman go on holiday?

(b) How did the woman get there?

F: female, late fifties standard; FX: voicemail

F: * Hi Lucy, I’m just back from holiday! As you know, I’d planned to go to the seaside again. Then
at the last minute, I started having doubts. I was looking in a travel agent’s window, and among
the holiday trips to some lakes, I noticed there was one to the mountains – and it felt like just
what I needed. But instead of going by air this time, I decided to see a bit more along the way. I
considered travelling by car, but my destination was miles away. Then I discovered you could go
by ship from the local port. So I booked it – anyway, speak soon. **

R1 Question 3

(a) Where was the exhibition that the woman saw?

(b) What did the woman like most at the exhibition?

M: male, twenties, mild US accent

F: female, twenties

F: * I went to an art exhibition the other day. I noticed it as I was heading into the city centre. It was
being held at the library. I’d never been to an exhibition there before.

M: How was it?

F: Well, I didn’t think the venue was great. The museum would’ve been better, or even the big gallery.
Still, there was some great art there – I bought some postcards. Look!

M: That sculpture’s amazing! It’s huge!

F: Mm, and there was a portrait by a local artist that wasn’t bad, either. This vase really caught my
attention, though - so beautiful!

M: Sounds as if I should go and see the exhibition! **

R1 Question 4

(a) What will the weather be like in the south tomorrow morning?

(b) What might be a problem in the south tomorrow evening?

M: male, thirties, standard

* Hello there! Here is the weather forecast for the southern region, from 6 o’clock this evening. As
we go through the night, the windy weather we’ve been having should calm down, to be replaced
by rainy weather from sunrise onwards tomorrow. There’s very little prospect of sunny weather for
the day ahead, I’m afraid. Then as we head towards the evening, there’s a chance of seeing some
snow in places unfortunately. And later on in the week there may be some frost, as there will be
some clear, cold nights. **

R1 That is the end of the four short recordings. In a moment you will hear Exercise 2. Now look

TRACK 3

R1 Exercise 2

You will hear a student called Janine giving a talk about taking up running as a hobby.
Listen to the talk and complete the details below. Write one or two words, or a number, in
each gap.

You will hear the talk twice.

F: female, mid thirties

F: * Hi! I’m Janine, and I’ve recently taken up running as a hobby. I’d like to tell you about it, and
hopefully encourage you to do the same!

I have to say, though, before my first run, I felt really nervous! So unlike lots of runners, I didn’t
head straight for the local sports centre, where there’s a track to run around. Instead, I didn’t go
any further than a street close to where I live, so that I could run back if necessary. But I hoped I’d
soon move on to running in the park nearby.

The first time I went out running, I didn’t think I’d be able to run continuously for very long. I
was fully expecting to have to stop pretty quickly – but actually managed an incredible 3 minutes
before I was out of breath – which was 2 minutes longer than I’d ever run before! I was pleased
with that, and felt encouraged to keep practising until I could get up to 5 minutes!

After that, I decided to use a running programme I found online, to help me. The programme
emphasised the importance of starting slowly, so that you wouldn’t get injured. I wasn’t that
interested in improving my speed. For me, it was about slowly increasing my strength - which the
programme successfully taught me to do. But I was pleased to find that, even at the beginning, my
fitness was better than I’d thought!

Anyway, in less than a month, I’d changed my attitude to running. When I first started, I was
monitoring my heart beat really closely, but soon I wasn’t noticing that any more. Instead, I
concentrated on my footsteps. And I was beginning to feel very happy after each run!

During my runs, I also learned that using headphones helped me – I know many people listen to
music, and I’ve also tried that. But what might sound strange is that I actually found poetry much
more effective. I also tried listening to the news, but that failed to have the same result!

I also began appreciating things around me during my runs. I’d always looked at things like the
clouds in the sky because the weather’s always important no matter what you’re doing, though
now I was beginning to notice the trees more than I’d ever done before. They were astonishing!

As I started to feel better about my running, I began to get more ambitious with my routes around
the town. I planned to run along a canal at one point, but then I discovered it was still being used
for transporting goods, so it was quite busy. So I followed a railway that hadn’t been used for
years. That was very peaceful.

Anyway, I’ve found that it’s very important to give myself a reward when I return home from a run
– it’s one of the most motivating things you can do! My favourite used to be cake, but I’ve found
ice cream is far more refreshing – and something I really look forward to. It’s much more effective
after a run than chocolate, which I normally love eating!

Does anyone have any questions? **

R1 Now you will hear the talk again.

TRACK 4

R1 Exercise 3

You will hear six people talking about fashion, and the way they dress. For each of speakers
1 to 6, choose from the list, A to G, which opinion each speaker expresses. Write the letter
in the appropriate box. Use each letter only once. There is one extra letter which you do not
need to use.

You will hear the recordings twice.

R1 Speaker 1

F: female, mid twenties, standard

* I love looking through fashion magazines, seeing how the celebrities are dressed. But I just use
them for inspiration as I then put together my own outfits from things that friends have given me
as gifts. Once I’m happy with a combination I tend to wear it for a long time – and I rarely meet
anyone wearing the same outfit as me! But it’s not the reason I do all this. It’s simply that I can’t
afford to purchase lots of new clothes. A pity really – I’ve got plenty of space in my wardrobe!

Pause 00’10”

R1 Speaker 2

M: male, late twenties, mild US accent

I’m interested in clothes, and enjoy going shopping for them. But whether what I get is the latest
stuff, I really couldn’t say, because I don’t spend too much time thinking about that. I just choose
what suits me – and people do say I look OK. So, although I like reading music magazines and
watching pop stars performing, and would like to wear what they do, it just wouldn’t work for me,
I’m afraid. I have to dress fairly smartly for office meetings and so on, which limits my choices,
really.

Pause 00’10”

R1 Speaker 3

F: female, late twenties, Australian accent

I take ages choosing clothes when shopping with friends, so I don’t spend loads – it’s not that I
can’t afford it, but I prefer making a few items go a long way! And I’m creative in how I wear them.
So even though I’ve got only a few quality pieces, I enjoy using a scarf here or some jewellery
there, so they look like completely new outfits! I quite like sticking to the same basic but fashionable
pieces for a while – it saves me thinking about what to wear all the time!

Pause 00’10”

R1 Speaker 4

M: male, thirties, standard

I guess the things I wear are rather unusual – you’d notice me in a crowd! But that way I don’t
risk running into anyone with the same sweater or whatever – which I really dislike. My mates are
aware of how I feel, so they’d never turn up dressed in something identical to me! I don’t buy that
many new things, really. In fact, I’ve had some of the clothes I wear for a few years now. They
were fashionable then and still look fine – but I think it’s about time I updated them.

Pause 00’10”

R1 Speaker 5

F: female, twenties, standard

I like wearing up-to-date clothes, and putting outfits together carefully, but if you asked me what
my influences are, I couldn’t tell you! It’d be nice to dress like famous musicians or film stars, but
I couldn’t afford that, and even if I could, I’d never spend that much on clothes. I guess I base my
choice of clothes on what everyone around me wears – particularly people I’m close to. In fact, if
we go shopping together, they’ll often tell me what to buy!

R1 Speaker 6

M: male, twenties, mild US accent

The people I socialise with often tell me they’ve no idea how I’ll be dressed each time they see
me – which I think is a compliment! I’d hate to follow the same old trends day after day. That’s not
because I’m desperate to stand out from other people, and sometimes I do meet people wearing
the same stuff as me – but that’s fine. I do think some people suspect I’ve copied the latest
celebrities, but I’m never that impressed with what I see them wearing, to be honest! **

TRACK 5

R1 Exercise 4

You will hear an interview with a woman called Sophie Rudd, whose job is to find old black
and white photos and add colour to them by hand. Listen to the interview and look at the
questions. For each question, choose the correct answer, A, B or C, and put a tick in the
appropriate box.

You will hear the interview twice.

M: male, thirties, standard

F: female, thirties, standard

M: * I’m with Sophie Rudd, whose job involves working with old black and white photos. She adds
colour to these by hand, using crayons and inks. Sophie, what first attracted you to colouring old
photos?

F: I spotted some 100-year-old photos in a display at a local gallery. A contemporary photographer

had added colour to them, and he was actually there, so we chatted about them. But their
importance didn’t really strike me until later, when I found a black-and-white photograph of my
great-grandmother, which had been hand-coloured. It looked stunning – and I knew instantly that’s
what I wanted to do.

M: So why did hand-colouring photos originally become popular?

F: Well, it sounds a strange thing to do nowadays, when we can take great colour photos. But these
weren’t common when photography was first invented, because it was difficult and expensive to
produce colour images. So a more affordable and attractive option was to add colour by hand to
printed photos – and this continued well into the 1950s. But it wasn’t very straightforward, so it’s
amazing there were so many good ones – and they’re still around today.

M: And how were these hand-coloured photos used?

F: Well, sometimes on holiday postcards believe it or not – holiday-makers sent them to their friends
who then kept them for years and put them in albums to look at again and again. The weird thing
was, though, that the artists colouring the photos often hadn’t been to these places, so it was the
artist who decided what they looked like! And recently, I actually saw some hand-coloured photos
on the covers of a few popular books.

M: But how did you learn to hand-colour photos?

F: Well, it’s amazing what you can do when you’re determined! I started by looking for a teacher,
but didn’t come across anyone – although I’ve since found plenty of skilled people online. But I
did find some useful online tutorial films, and that way I learned the basics. And when my mother,
who’s a historian, saw what I was doing, she found me a few examples of hand-coloured photos
from decades ago.

M: And is that how you developed your approach to working with historical photos?

F: Probably – and research is the most important part of that, with very old pictures. Before I start
selecting which colours to add to the photos, I’ll look carefully at what’s in them. If it’s something
like an old building, I’ll work with qualified historians and collect information about it although that
might not be necessary every time if what’s in the photo is well-known.

M: So what do you do once you’ve begun working on a photo?

F: Well, occasionally as I’m working, I have to pause and think before I go any further. And there are
some photos that I start working on, then find they don’t work in colour – they just don’t look right.
Then unfortunately I have to abandon them, so that’s time wasted. But that’s part of the creative
process. On the other hand, sometimes the best ones actually end up looking more like paintings,
in a strange way.

M: And now you’ve produced a book of historical photos.

F: Yes! I began putting my photos onto social media, and soon found people were following what I
was doing. Then a well-known historian saw them and got in touch. We’ve worked together a lot
since then – that’s how the book of photos got published. But the nicest comments were when
teachers said the book got young students much more interested in history, as having colour in
the photos really helped them to see what was in the photos as much more relevant to their lives
now.

M: So what are your plans for the future?

F: Well, ideally I’d like to share my experiences, but I know that I’m not very good at teaching
in a classroom setting. So I’m looking into organising presentations to local groups about my
fascination with old photos. I’d like to show them the coloured versions and what results can be
achieved. Who knows, they might be inspired to learn to do it themselves by taking a course or
something.

M: Sophie – thanks! **
