tle red, so I went to the hospital. The 
doctor gave me some pain-relieving tablets and told me to take two tablets a day and wrap my 
ankle tightly with a bandage for one week. He said it was not a serious injury, and I would be 
just fine. He told me not to do any exercise for three weeks. I have to rest my ankle so I can 
heal more quickly. I 'm really looking forward to getting back to the basketball court.

PART 3: Short conversations 
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following conversation. 
(M) Next semester will be difficult. I didn't get accepted for the course we wanted. I didn't 
even get my second choice. I wanted to study a language, but instead I 'll be taking geology. 
(W) That's too bad. Wiry do you think that geology is so difficult? You might be really 
good at it. Maybe you'll enjoy it. 
(M) Well, I 'm not interested in studying rocks and minerals. Besides, I ' m not good at 
scientific subjects. 
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following conversation. 
(W) I have to decide whether to take Spanish or German on Tuesday mornings. Spanish sounds so 
romantic, doesn't it. But you've enrolled for German, haven't you? It'd be fun to study together. 
(M) Well, you know, Spanish class meets on Thursday mornings, not Tuesday. That 's why 
I 'm taking German. 
(W) Oh. Well, I guess I ' ll be taking German too then. I can only study on Tuesdays. 
PART 4: Short Talks 
- Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following talk. 
(W) I 'm not really a good student. I don' t often get high grades. I don ' t usually like 
studying in school, but there are a couple of subjects I enjoy. My two favorite subjects in 
school are chemistry and art. I like chemistry because it uses the logical part of my brain. I 
can work for hours trying to find the answer to a complex chemistry problem. You might be 
thinking that sounds like math. But it is more interesting than mathematics because then I 
can go to the chemistry lab and do experiments. It is exciting to see what happens when I do 
an experiment. On the other hand, I like art because I can be creative. I can express my 
feeling with a paintbrush. Both art and chemistry let me express different parts of myself. 
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk. 
(M) My exams today were so difficult. I had three exams. In the morning, I had a French 
exam. French is really difficult for me, especially French spelling. I can never remember if I 
need an extra "e" at the end of words and that kind of thing. Then, after lunch I had a 
history exam. I couldn't remember any of the dates that I studied before the exam. History 
is the most difficult subject because I find it boring. Finally in the afternoon I had a math 
exam. It was difficult, but math is my favorite subject, so I think I did pretty well on the 
exam. I 'm good at math and I usually get high grades, so I 'm sure I ' ll get a good score. Last 
semester, I got the best grade in my class.

and the girls are both 5. As you can probably tell, they are twins. It was a lot of work taking 
care of the twins when they were babies. We were afraid of mixing them up. I t ' s not a

Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk. 
(M) My wife Gail and I have recently purchased a beautiful home. It has a large garden and

several shops and a sports center. The kids are crazy about swimming and soccer, so it 's 
going to be great for them. Inside there 's a kitchen, living room, dinning and bathroom. 
Upstairs there's our bedroom. Plus separate bedrooms for our two kids. They are looking 
forward to choosing their wallpaper to decorate their room. There 's plenty of room, and 
we're happy to be first-time home-owners. We were so tired of paying rent to other people. 
We're going to enjoy living here.

PART 4: Short Talks 
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following introduction. 
(W) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's program. On our talk show today, we have three 
guests. First, this is Mr. Brian Hopkins from Chicago, Illinois. Next to him is Ms. Tina Martin from 
Madison, Wisconsin, and on her left we have Dr. James from Orlando, Florida. Welcome to all of 
you. Our topic for discussion today is the problem many homeowners have with their neighbors. 
Most of us don't even know our neighbors, but some families have difficult relationship with the 
people living next door. Loud parties, parking their cars in front of your house, their dogs making a 
mess in your yard. Why can't we all just get along? What are some things you can do to help deal 
with bad neighbors? Let's take a look. 
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following review. 
(M) The Talk of the Town is a romantic comedy set in a small town in the south of France. This 
movie takes a typical love story and gives it a little bit of surprising twist that I think most viewers 
will really enjoy. In The Talk of the Town, rich businessman Timothy Green finds himself on 
vacation in a strange town of Moliere. Nothing here is quite what it seems. He constantly upsets the 
locals with his foolish mistakes and his inability to speak the French language. However, after 
meeting the mysterious and accident-prone Stephanie, played Nina Ricci, his trip begins to 
improve. Go to see this movie if you want a light-hearted diversion. It will certainly make you 
laugh, and I bet you won't believe the surprise ending. This movie is suitable for the whole family.

PART 3: Short Conversations 
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following conversation. 
(M) Lisa, I heard that you got a new job. I didn't even know you were looking. Why did you 
change? 
(W) Well, I started to apply for jobs about a month ago. You know, the pay at my old job was too 
low, and the hours were so long. Now, I make more money, and my working hours are shorter. 
(M) That's great! Congratulations! 
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following conversation. 
(M) Hey, Jean. Are you hungry? Let's have lunch together today. What do you feel like? I'll pay. 
(W) I'd like to but I can't Steve. I have a business meeting to go to. I have a very busy day today. 
(M) That's OK. Maybe some other time. Let me know when you have time. I know a lot of 
good restaurants around here. 
PART 4: Short talks 
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following talk. 
(W) Most people think of the average .waking day as nine to five. In other words, most people 
are used to working during the day, usually from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00p.m. But some jobs start at 
different times. People work for "swing shift" job usually start work late in the afternoon, 
around 5:00 p.m. , and finish late at night, around 1:00 a.m. Other people work "graveyard" 
shift jobs. These shifts last all night, from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. These strange hours are 
necessary because some jobs can only be done at night. There are also an increasing number of 
people who work flexi-time. Flexi-time is convenient for worker because they can choose when 
to go to work. For example, even if my regular hours are from 9:00 to 5:00, I could go to work 
from 8:00 to 4:00 instead, if I wanted. 
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk. 
(M) I changed jobs about 2 months ago. My new job is much better than my old job. First, the 
pay is much higher. Also, I work fewer hours. In my old job, I work ten hours a day, but in my 
new job, 1 only work six hours a day. I used to be exhausted all the time, but now I have lots of 
energy. My benefits are also better. I have medical and dental insurance, which I did not have 
at my old job. Finally, my new job is closer to my home. I can walk to work which saves me a 
lot of money each month of gasoline and parking fees. I can arrive home much earlier than 
before, so I also have enough time to take French classes twice a week, and I 'm going to join a 
gym next week.
