JULIE: Hello?

GREG: Oh, hello. Is that Julie Davison?

JULIE: Yes.

GREG: This is Greg Preston from the Employment Agency. We met last week when you came in to enquire about office work.

JULIE: Oh, that’s right.

GREG: Now we’ve just had some details come in of a job which might interest you.

JULIE: OK.

GREG: So this is a position for a 📍Q1 receptionist – I believe you’ve done that sort of work before?

JULIE: Yes, I have, I worked in a sports centre for a couple of years before I got married and had the children.

GREG: Right. Well, this job’s in Fordham, so not too far away for you, and it’s at the 📍Q2 medical centre there.

JULIE: OK. So where exactly is that?

GREG: It’s quite near the station, on 📍Q3 Chastons Road.

JULIE: Sorry?

GREG: Chastons Road- that’s C-H-A-S-T-O-N-S.

JULIE: OK, thanks. So what would the work involve? Dealing with enquiries from patients?

GREG: Yes, and you’d also be involved in making 📍Q4 appointments, whether face to face or on the phone. And rescheduling them if necessary.

JULIE: Fine, that shouldn’t be a problem.

GREG: And another of your duties would be keeping the centre’s 📍Q5 database up-to-date. Then you might have other general administrative duties as well, but those would be the main ones.

JULIE: OK.

GREG: Now when the details came in, I immediately thought of you because one thing they do require is someone with 📍Q6 experience, and you did mention your work at the sports centre when you came in to see us.

JULIE: Yes, in fact I enjoyed that job. Is there anything else they’re looking for?

GREG: Well, they say it’s quite a high-pressure environment, they’re always very busy, and patients are often under stress, so they want someone who can cope with that and stay calm, and at the same time be 📍Q7 confident when interacting with the public.

JULIE: Well, after dealing with three children all under five, I reckon I can cope with that.

GREG: I’m sure you can.

GREG: And then another thing they mention is that they’re looking for someone with good IT skills …

JULIE: Not a problem.

GREG: So you’d be interested in following this up?

JULIE: Sure. When would it start?

GREG: Well, they’re looking for someone from the beginning of next month, but I should tell you that this isn’t a permanent job, it’s 📍Q8 temporary, so the contract would be just to the end of September. But they do say that there could be further opportunities after that.

JULIE: OK. And what would the hours be?

GREG: Well, they want someone who can start at a quarter to eight in the morning could you manage that?

JULIE: Yes, my husband would have to get the kids up and off to my mother’s – she’s going to be looking after them while I’m at work. What time would I finish?

GREG: 📍Q9 One fifteen.

JULIE: That should work out all right. I can pick the kids up on my way home, and then I’ll have the afternoon with them. Oh, one thing … is there 📍Q10 parking available for staff at the centre?

GREG: Yes, there is. and it’s also on a bus route.

JULIE: Right. Well, I expect I’ll have the car but it’s good to know that. OK, so where do I go from here?

GREG: Well, if you’re happy for me to do so, I’ll forward your CV and references, and then the best thing would probably be for you to phone them so they can arrange for an interview.

JULIE: Great. Well thank you very much.

GREG: You’re welcome. Bye now.

JULIE: Bye.

PART 2 Questions 11-20 + Audio Script

📝 Question 11: "The museum building was originally"

🔹 Correct Answer: B a private home.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "So, where we’re standing at the moment is the entrance to a large building that was constructed in 1880 as the home of a local businessman."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio states the building was originally "the home of a local businessman," which is synonymous with "a private home". Options A and C are mentioned later in the script, but are not the original purpose of the building.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Options A and C are mentioned as the later uses of the building.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay attention to chronological order or changes over time.

📝 Question 12: "The university uses part of the museum building as"

🔹 Correct Answer: A teaching rooms.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "You may see students going into the building for lessons, but it’s not open to museum visitors, I’m afraid."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "going into the building for lessons" indicates the university uses it for "teaching rooms". Option B is mentioned but the area is not open to the public. Option C is mentioned as offices for the museum, not the university.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Options B and C are mentioned in the context of the building, but these are not the areas used by the university, as per the question.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be attentive to details to ensure you answer the question precisely.

📝 Question 13: "What does the guide say about the entrance fee?"

🔹 Correct Answer: A Visitors decide whether or not they wish to pay.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Luckily, we’ve managed to keep entry to the museum free. ... We do have a donation box just over there so feel free to give whatever amount you consider appropriate."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio states the museum has "free" entry and that visitors can donate as they see fit. This is synonymous with the idea of visitors deciding if they want to pay or not. Option B is incorrect since it mentions discounts when the museum is free. Option C is incorrect as the museum is free even for special exhibitions.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Options B and C are mentioned as part of the different options available at other museums, but not this one.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be ready for synonyms, like "free entry" means "visitors decide if they want to pay or not".

📝 Question 14: "What are visitors advised to leave in the cloakroom?"

🔹 Correct Answer: C bags

📍 Location in Audio Script: "We do have a cloakroom, if you’d like to leave your coats and bags somewhere. ... You might be more comfortable not carrying around heavy rucksacks, though keep your coats and jackets on..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker advises leaving "coats and bags" in the cloakroom, however they advise to keep the coats on due to the weather. Therefore, "bags" are the correct answer. Cameras are mentioned as being allowed in the museum, which is why it is an incorrect answer.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The audio mentions both "coats and bags", and could be misleading.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Note the shifts in opinion, or when the speaker states that something is not ideal.

📝 Question 15: "Four Seasons"

🔹 Correct Answer: F It features something created by students.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "Here you can watch a four-minute animation of a woodland scene. It was designed especially for the museum by a group of young people on a film studies course"

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio mentions that the animation in the Four Seasons area was created by "a group of young people on a film studies course" (students).

⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the answer is clear.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for who has created things mentioned in the audio.

📝 Question 16: "Farmhouse Kitchen"

🔹 Correct Answer: G An expert is here today.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "And this morning, a specialist cheesemaker will be giving demonstrations of how it’s produced."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "specialist cheesemaker" is synonymous with "expert" and indicates that someone who has expertise is there today.

⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the answer is clearly implied.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be ready to identify synonyms and phrases with the same meaning.

📝 Question 17: "A Year on the Farm"

🔹 Correct Answer: E There is a quiz for visitors.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "If you’re feeling competitive, you can take our memory test in which you answer questions about things you’ve seen in the museum."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: A memory test with questions is synonymous with a quiz.

⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the answer is clear.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Understand synonyms for common phrases.

📝 Question 18: "Wagon Walk"

🔹 Correct Answer: A Parents must supervise their children.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "The carts are old and fragile, so we ask you to keep your children close to you and ensure they don’t climb on the carts."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "keep your children close to you" is another way of saying that "parents must supervise their children".

⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the answer is clear.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be ready for common phrases or instruction presented in different words.

📝 Question 19: "Bees are Magic"

🔹 Correct Answer: C It is closed today.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "In the far corner of the garden is Bees are Magic, but we’re redeveloping this area so you can’t visit that at the moment."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "you can’t visit that at the moment" is synonymous with "it is closed today".

⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the answer is clearly stated.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be aware of phrases or expressions that have the same meaning.

📝 Question 20: "The Pond"

🔹 Correct Answer: B There are new things to see.

📍 Location in Audio Script: "There are baby ducks that are only a few days old, as well as tiny frogs."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The mention of "baby ducks" and "tiny frogs" that are new to the pond implies there are new things to see.

⚠️ Potential Traps: None, the answer is clearly implied.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be aware of details that may imply a certain situation.

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Museum of Farming Life. I understand it’s your first visit here, so I’d like to give you some background information about the museum and then explain a little about what you can see during your visit.

So, where we’re standing at the moment is the entrance to a large building that was constructed in 1880 as 📍Q11 the home of a local businessman. Alfred Palmer, of the Palmer biscuit factory. It was later sold and became a hall of residence for students in 1911, and a museum in 1951. In 2005, a modern extension was built to accommodate the museum’s collections.

The museum’s owned by the university, and apart from two rooms that are our offices, the university uses the main part of the building. You may see students 📍Q12 going into the building for lessons, but it’s not open to museum visitors, I’m afraid. It’s a shame because the interior architectural features are outstanding, especially the room that used to be the library.

Luckily, we’ve managed to keep 📍Q13 entry to the museum free. This includes access to all the galleries, outdoor areas and the rooms for special exhibitions. We run activities for children and students, such as the museum club, for which there’s no charge. We do have a donation box just over there so feel free to give whatever amount you consider appropriate.

We do have a cloakroom, if you’d like to leave your coats and 📍Q14 bags somewhere. Unlike other museums, photography is allowed here, so you might like to keep your cameras with you. You might be more comfortable not carrying around heavy rucksacks, though keep your coats and jackets on as it’s quite cold in the museum garden today.

——

I’d like to tell you about the different areas of the museum.

Just inside, and outside the main gallery, we have an area called Four Seasons. Here you can watch a four-minute animation of a woodland scene. It was designed especially for the museum by a 📍Q15 group of young people on a film studies course, and it’s beautiful. Children absolutely love it, but then, so do adults.

The main gallery’s called Town and Country. It includes a photographic collection of prize-winning sheep and shepherds. Leaving Town and Country, you enter Farmhouse Kitchen, which is … well, self-explanatory. Here we have the oldest collection of equipment for making butter and cheese in the country. And this morning, a 📍Q16 specialist cheesemaker will be giving demonstrations of how it’s produced. You may even get to try some.

After that, you can go in two directions. To the right is a staircase that takes you up to a landing from where you can look down on the galleries. To the left is a room called A Year on the Farm. There’s lots of seating here as sometimes we use the room for school visits, so it’s a good place to stop for a rest. If you’re feeling competitive, you can take our 📍Q17 memory test in which you answer questions about things you’ve seen in the museum.

The next area’s called Wagon Walk. This contains farm carts from nearly every part of the country. It’s surprising how much regional variation there was. Beside the carts are display boards with information about each one. The carts are old and fragile, so we ask you to 📍Q18 keep your children close to you and ensure they don’t climb on the carts.

From Wagon Walk, you can either make your way back to reception or go out into the garden – or even go back to take another look in the galleries. In the far corner of the garden is Bees are Magic, but we’re redeveloping this area so 📍Q19 you can’t visit that at the moment. You can still buy our honey in the shop, though.

Finally, there’s The Pond, which contains all kinds of interesting wildlife. There are 📍Q20 baby ducks that are only a few days old, as well as tiny frogs. The Pond isn’t deep and there’s a fence around it, so it’s perfectly safe for children.

PART 3 Questions 21-30 + Audio Script

📝 Question 21 & 22: "Which TWO educational skills were shown in the video of children doing origami?"

🔹 Correct Answers: B following instructions, D learning through play

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The audio mentions children "listening hard to make sure they did all the steps in the right order," which relates to "following instructions" (B). Additionally, it's noted that the children were "having fun while being taught something new," which means they are "learning through play" (D).

📍 Location in Audio Script: "I bet it’s because so many teachers are clumsy like me. That’s true – too much effort required if you’re not good with your hands."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The comments about teachers being "clumsy" and "not good with your hands" mean that they don't have the "necessary skills" for teaching origami. Option A is not mentioned. Option C is not mentioned as the reason for unwillingness to use origami.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The other options are not mentioned as the reason that teachers might be unwilling to use origami.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Recognize when a phrase implies that a skill is lacking.

📝 Question 30: "Why do the students decide to use origami in their maths teaching practice?"

🔹 Correct Answer: C to introduce a new concept

📍 Location in Audio Script: "I can see using origami is a really engaging way of reinforcing children’s knowledge of geometric shapes, like they were doing in the video, but I think it would also work really well for presenting fractions, which is coming up soon."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "presenting fractions" which is "coming up soon" means that it will be used to introduce a "new concept". Option A is incorrect since they are not correcting a misunderstanding. Option B is not mentioned.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Option A is mentioned, but it is the wrong context.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be aware of the context and when something is "new".

TUTOR: So now I want you to discuss the lesson we’ve just been watching on the video and think about the ways in which origami can be a useful educational tool. Can you all work with the person sitting next to you …

SEB: I had no idea that such a simple thing like folding squares of paper to make the shape of something like a bird could be such an amazing tool. It’s made me see origami in a whole new light.

LIA: I know. It was interesting to see the educational skills the children were developing by doing origami. On the video you could see them really 📍Q21/22 listening hard to make sure they did all the steps in the right order to make the bird.

SEB: That’s right. In this lesson they were working individually but it would also be interesting to see if the children could work out how to make something simple without being given any direction. That would help with building teamwork as well.

LIA: Yes, but much more of a challenge. One thing that really stood out for me was that the children were all 📍Q21/22 having fun while being taught something new.

SEB: Which is a key aim of any lesson with this age group. And although these kids had no problems with folding the paper, with younger children you could do origami to help practise fine motor skills.

LIA: Absolutely. Shall we talk about the individual children we saw on the video? I wrote all their names down and took some notes.

SEB: Yes, I did too.

LIA: OK, good. Let’s start with Sid.

SEB: He was interesting because before they started doing the origami, he was being quite disruptive.

LIA: Yes. He really benefited from having to use his hands – it helped him to 📍Q23 settle down and start concentrating.

SEB: Yes, I noticed that too. What about Jack? I noticed he seemed to want to work things out for himself.

LIA: Mmm. You could see him 📍Q24 trying out different things rather than asking the teacher for help. What did you make of Naomi?

SEB: She seemed to be losing interest at one point but then she decided 📍Q25 she wanted her mouse to be the best and that motivated her to try harder.

LIA: She didn’t seem satisfied with hers in the end, though.

SEB: No.

LIA: Anya was such a star. She listened so carefully and then produced the perfect bird 📍Q26 with very little effort.

SEB: Mmm – I think the teacher could have increased the level of difficulty for her.

LIA: Maybe. I think it was the first time Zara had come across origami.

SEB: She looked as if she 📍Q27 didn’t really get what was going on.

LIA: She seemed 📍Q27 unsure about what she was supposed to do. but in the end hers didn’t turn out too badly.

SEB: Yeah. I’m sure it was a positive learning experience for her.

LIA: Mmm.

—–

LIA: I think one reason why the origami activity worked so well in this class was that the teacher was well prepared.

SEB: Right. I think it would have taken me ages to 📍Q28 prepare examples, showing each of the steps involved in making the bird. But that was a really good idea. The children could see what they were aiming for – and much better for them to be able to hold something, rather than just looking at pictures.

LIA: Mmm – those physical examples supported her verbal explanations really well.

SEB: It’s strange that origami isn’t used more widely. Why do you think that is?

LIA: Well, teachers may just feel it’s not that appealing to children who are used to doing everything on computers, especially boys. Even if they’re aware of the benefits.

SEB: Oh, I don’t know. It’s no different to any other craft activity. I bet it’s because so many teachers are 📍Q29 clumsy like me.

LIA: That’s true – too much effort required if you’re 📍Q29 not good with your hands.

SEB: Well, anyway, I think we should try it out in our maths teaching practice with Year 3. I can see using origami is a really engaging way of reinforcing children’s knowledge of geometric shapes, like they were doing in the video, but I think it would also work really well for 📍Q30 presenting fractions, which is coming up soon.

LIA: Good idea – that’s something most of the kids in that class might struggle with. Origami would also be good practice for using symmetry- but I think they did that last term.

SEB: OK – well let’s try and get some ideas together and plan the lesson next week.

TUTOR: OK, if you could all stop …

The person I’ve chosen to talk about is the French writer Victor Hugo – many people have heard of him because his novel, Les Miserables, which he wrote in 1862, is famous around the world. It became a stage musical in the 1980s, and a film version was also released in 2012. So, some of us, I’m sure, have a pretty general idea of the 📍Q31 plot, but we know much less about the author. Today, I’m going to provide a little more insight into this talented man and I’m going to talk particularly about the home he had on the island of Guernsey in the British Channel Islands.

But first, his early career … as I’ve said, he was a writer, he was at the height of his career in Paris and he was very highly regarded by his colleagues. As far as literature was concerned, he was the leading figure of the Romantic movement. However, as well as being a literary genius, he also gave many speeches about issues like the level of 📍Q32 poverty in his society. He felt very strongly about this and about other areas where change was needed, like education. This kind of outspoken criticism was not well liked by the rulers of France and, eventually, the emperor – Napoleon III – told Victor Hugo to leave Paris and not return; in other words, he sent him into exile.

So Victor Hugo was forced to reside in other parts of 📍Q33 Europe. Guernsey was actually his third place of exile and he landed there in 1855. He produced a lot while on Guernsey – including Les Miserables – and to do this, he had to spend a great deal of time in the home that he had there. This was a property that he bought using the money he’d made in France from the publication of a collection of his 📍Q34 poetry. It was the only property he ever owned, and he was very proud of it.

——

The property Victor Hugo bought on Guernsey was a large, five-storey house in the capital town of St Peter Port and he lived there for 15 years, returning to France in 1870 when Napoleon’s Empire collapsed. He decorated and furnished each level, or floor, of the house in unique and wonderful ways, and many people consider the inside of the house to be a ‘work of art’. Today it’s a museum that attracts 200,000 visitors a year.

He lived in the house with his family … and portraits of its members still hang in rooms on the ground floor, along with 📍Q35 drawings that he did during his travels that he felt were important to him. In other ground-floor rooms, there are huge tapestries that he would have designed and loved. The walls are covered in dark wood panelling that Victor Hugo created himself using wooden 📍Q36 furniture that he bought in the market. The items were relatively inexpensive, and he used them to create intricate carvings. They gave an atmosphere on the lower level that was shadowy and rather solemn.

On the next level of the house there are two impressive lounges, where he entertained his guests. One lounge has entirely red furnishings, such as sofas and wall coverings, and the other blue. There’s a strong Chinese influence in these areas in things like the wallpaper pattern and the 📍Q37 lamps – which he would have made himself by copying original versions.

His library, where he left many of his favourite books, forms the hallway to the third floor and was a comfortable area where he could relax and enjoy his afternoons. And then, at the very top of the house, there’s a room called the Lookout – called that because it looks out over the 📍Q38 harbour. In contrast to the rather dark lower levels, it’s full of light and was like a glass office where he would write until lunchtime- often at his desk.

So, Victor Hugo was a man of many talents, but he was also true to his values. While living in his house on Guernsey, he entertained many other famous writers, but he also invited a large group of local 📍Q39 children from the deprived areas of the island to dinner once a week. What’s more, he served them their food, which was an extraordinary gesture for the time period.

In 1927, the house was owned by his 📍Q40 relatives, and they decided to donate it to the city of Paris. It has since been restored using photographs from the period and, as I mentioned earlier, is now a museum that is open to the public.
