I was going to get him a bike helmet but then he told me he was already getting one from his parents, so I just brought along a card. I’ll get him something another time. Anyway, he enjoyed his birthday, and that’s what counts. GIRL It’s a shame I couldn’t go. 90 words PAUSE 00'05" Rubric: Now listen again.

That’s what I wore last time, and some people were wearing the same sort of thing. Oh, actually, maybe that’s too casual, yes, you know what, I think you’re right.

You will hear the recording twice. Part 2 Pretest No.: Question Nos.: 8-13 [ ...... ] Hello, everybody. I’d like to tell you a bit about what it’s like to be a professional photographer. I got into photography at the age of 12, and at the time, I hardly realised it could be something you do to earn money. I was interested in painting, drawing, everything like that, so for me it was just another way to be creative. I borrowed a camera from my dad, which he rarely used, but I don’t think he expected me to be any good. So, what kind of work does a professional photographer do? Plenty of it is 7 photographing weddings – it takes patience to get the right pictures, but it’s enjoyable. With sports photography timing is all-important, and I’ve had a lot of success. I’m now doing more work for advertising, and it’s been incredibly challenging trying to be original. As a photographer, you find your career’s always changing. You might expect that I spend most of my time out taking photos. Well, I wish I did, but people don’t realise how many hours are spent on the PC selecting and improving pictures. There’s also arranging contracts and dealing with payments – that’s a huge job, though I have an assistant who does all that for me now. It makes my life so much easier as organising things can take up so much time. People often ask me what I enjoy most. I always like to show my pictures to whoever’s paying me as soon as I can, and nothing beats seeing the smile on their face when they see a picture they really like. And that makes all those long journeys worth it, as I do have to travel a lot in this profession. My next goal is to get my photos into the top magazines. That’d be brilliant. Now I often get asked about the design of websites for photographers. I think it’s important to avoid making the screen look too busy with all your latest pictures in one place. Only include as much information as you really need to so people concentrate on the picture itself. For young people, like yourselves, I’m sure you’re always taking photos with your camera-phones or whatever, and probably put them on your favourite websites. These sites have really changed the nature of photography as a hobby, because rather than joining a club, you can read the comments from others, see what they like and why. I think that can help you achieve the right results. 413 words PAUSE 00'05" Rubric: Now listen again. REPEAT PAUSE 00'05" Rubric: That is the end of part 2. PAUSE 00'10" Rubric: Now turn to part 3, questions 14 to 19. 10 F: But mum’s always doing something. If she’s not cleaning the bathroom, she’s ironing! M: I know! She’s at it every day. F: But we iron our school uniforms, and dad does his work clothes. I don’t see the point of her doing sheets and towels as well. M: Well, if she didn’t iron all the duvet covers and stuff, the house wouldn’t look so tidy, would it? F: Mmm, I hope when we’re older, there’ll be a machine or robot for that! M: Like dishwashers, just switch it on and it’s all done for you? F: Exactly, although with those, by the time you’ve filled it up, then opened it afterwards and put all the stuff away, you might as well just wash up the old way. M: What? Come on, I can’t imagine you, standing at the sink washing up by hand for… hours and hours! F: Mmm, not as bad as cleaning the fridge though. That’s not what I’d call fun. M: It’s a good way to earn pocket money, but I can’t stand doing it. It takes ages to get rid of the ice. Even if Mum and Dad look pleased afterwards. F: I suppose. M: Your bedroom’s a bit of a mess isn’t it? F: Well, yeah, but so’s yours! M: True. But, I mean, I really like the rest of the house being tidy. My own room’s different. I don’t see a problem with having stuff all over the floor, I know where everything is. It feels like my space. 319 words PAUSE 00'05" Rubric: Now listen again.
