 TASK 1

You`ll hear an interview with a singer called Nick Parker who plays in a band called Krispy with his sister Mel.  For each question, choose the correct answer, a, b or c. You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice.

        Int:   I`m talking to Nick Parker, the singer with the band called Krispy. Nick, your sister, Mel, plays guitar in the band too, doesn`t she?

Nick: Yeah. Mel`s a year younger than me. We`ve been playing and singing together since we were … eight, nine. Dad is a guitarist and took us to hear the great bands playing live. Mel and I put on shows at school, which was a lot of fun. Mum thought we were good, but she didn`t want us to get too serious about our music because of the hard lives professional musicians have.

          Int: When did you start writing music?

           Nick:       I`ve been writing since I was ten. And later Mel started working with me. We didn`t have the same influences – I liked rock music and she loved world music, especially bands from Africa. But we found good ways of mixing the styles.

         Int:  Your band, Krispy, has two guys and two girls in it. How was it  formed?

         Nick: Mel and I were playing in a concert at our college and there were two students from music school in the audience. They came to see us after the show and asked if we`d like to form a band with them. We weren`t sure at first because we were much younger than them. But we agreed to try it out, and it was brilliant.

            Int: Was the band an immediate success?

            Nick: Well, we spent the first year practicing and writing music. During that time we all  had studying to do. We played in local concerts, and the audiences enjoyed what we did. Then during one holiday we recorded two songs and sent them to a music company. They offered us a contract, but our parents said we had to finish college first.

            Int: You`ve been together a few years now and you`re one of the top bands. What`s that like?

            Nick: Hard work. We travel to concerts all round the world and are never in one place for more than a few nights. The others are like an older brother and sister to me and Mel, which is good. They help us relax on our days off, and make sure we eat well. They`re strict about practicing too.

            Int: Have you had any disappointments?

            Nick: Everything we`ve recorded has done well. Three singles have gone to number one,  and our first album has sold over a million copies. Our second album was due out this winter, but I`ve been ill recently so we`ve started recording late, which is a pity. But for the rest, everything`s fine.

(Pause)      Now listen again. (The recording is repeated)

TASK 3

Listen to the conversation between Barbara and Ricardo. Listen carefully and answer the questions.

Ricardo       Here we are. Brochures for one day excursions. Let's have a look. Barbara       A riverboat trip! That looks interesting.

Ricardo       Yeah. It does. Where does it go? And how do we get to the river?

Barbara       It says to go by bus to the river. The bus trip takes about an hour. That costs   $ 5 per person each way. Then the boat goes along the river for 4 hours. And we can get a meal on the boat. That sounds good.

Ricardo       How much does it cost?

Barbara       Well, the boat trip costs $ 20 and the meal is extra if we want it. It   all sounds great, but it's a bit expensive - $ 30 each, and that's not counting the food and drinks.

Ricardo       Yes. It would be relaxing but it is a bit expensive and we wouldn't   get much exercise sitting on a bus and a boat, would we?

Barbara       No, you are right. What about horse riding or cycling? Can you ride a horse?

Ricardo       Not very well. I've only ridden a horse twice in my life and that was  long time ago. How much does it cost?

Barbara       Let me see. Horse riding's a bit expensive too - $ 30 for 2 hours.

Ricardo       What about cycling? That shouldn't be too expensive. Here we  are, mountain bikes for hire. $ 10 a day! That's great!

Barbara       And there's a helmet and a repair kit with each one. You have to wear a helmet by law.

Ricardo       We'll hire two bikes then. Here is $ 20. That's very good.
