1 late twenties 2 early twenties 3 30–35 4 30 (or so) Transcript 1 Interviewer In your opinion, when is the best age for young people to leave home? Woman Well, it obviously depends on the circumstances. But I wouldn’t advise young people to be in a hurry to leave home. The advantage of living with your parents, even when you’re working, is that you can save money. It can benefit your parents too, as you can pay them rent and also help out with housework, and so on. But I would say that your late twenties would be a good time to leave home. 2 Interviewer What’s the best age to learn to drive, do you think? Girl Well, my brother learned to drive as soon as he could, at the age of seventeen. But he couldn’t afford a car until he was 21. When he finally bought one, he’d forgotten a lot of what he’d been taught and had to have more lessons before he felt confident to drive. So, I’d say wait till you are in your early twenties, when you can afford a car. 3 Interviewer What’s the best age to start a family, in your opinion? Boy I think most couples wait a few years before they start a family, and I think that’s quite sensible – it’s important to settle down first and have a nice home. And most people find themselves in the situation when they’re between about 30 and 35. 4 Interviewer In your opinion, what’s the best age to buy a house or flat? Girl Most young couples in the UK want to own their own home and they usually try to do this when they are about 30 or so, and they are settled in their careers. And I think that’s about the right age. Before that, they don’t usually have enough money.

1 Most time: topic 4 Not discussed: topic 3 Transcript Examiner So, tell me about the English student who stayed with you. Student He was called Harry and he stayed with us for a month. E Did he share your room? S No, he didn’t. He had my bedroom, and I shared with my brother. It was fine. What are you going to do when your student arrives? E Oh, we’ve got a spare room – so she’ll sleep there. But we need to make the room nice for her … put up some pictures, that kind of thing. S Yes, good idea. And will she go to school with you while she’s there? E Yes, she will. I hope she fits in OK. S Harry really enjoyed going to my school. It took him a few days to feel comfortable there, though. He didn’t understand most of the lessons because they were in a foreign language! E Did he have to do the homework? S Yes, he did. But of course the teachers knew about the language problem. He actually did well in some subjects. He helped me with my maths! E My student only speaks English. She’s going to have problems at school, I’m sure. S But she’ll learn quickly. You’ll be surprised! E I suppose so. Actually, I’m not really worried about school. My main worry is, will she miss her friends and family? S Yes, that’s true. A month is a long time. But you can help her to feel at home. E Do you think I should have a party when she arrives, so she can meet all my friends? That might make her feel at home. S Yes, that’s not a bad idea.

1 photography, gymnastics 2 ice hockey, running Transcript 1 I’ve always loved photography, and used my dad’s camera for ages. I’ve taken loads of photos with it, but it’s a bit old- fashioned. I’ve never had a really good camera. Anyway, I finally bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. Now I’ll be able to take some really good pictures. My other hobby is gymnastics – I do it at a local club with other teenagers. I love being part of the team. The only problem I have is that I don’t do gymnastics or photography as much as I’d like to. I’m so busy with homework and other things. 2 I’ve always loved going to the ice-rink and not long ago I took up ice hockey. I’m still a beginner, but I really enjoy it. I’ve got my own skates and my parents gave me a stick for my birthday last month, so I don’t have to borrow one from the club any more. I used to only like individual sports, ones that you do on your own, like running. But now I much prefer to be part of a team.

I’d like to go out for the day with you and a group of our friends. What do you think we should do? B Well, I’m quite keen on body boarding. I’ve never done it before and I’d really like to try it. A Sorry, but I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Some of my friends don’t have body boards. What about abseiling? I quite fancy trying that. B I think parkour is a better option than abseiling because you don’t need any equipment. A Oh, no. I really don’t want to do parkour. It doesn’t appeal to me at all. B Well, how about climbing or karting? A I don’t think karting would be as much fun as climbing. And there’s a new indoor climbing centre near the school. It would be good to try it. B Yes, I agree. A Can we agree on climbing, then? B Yes.

1 d 2 f 3 a 4 b 5 c 6 e Transcript Tim You weren’t born in the UK, were you, Lila? Lila No, Tim, but I was only six months old when my family emigrated here from the Ukraine. So I don’t remember anything about it. Of course I’ve been there many times, but only Britain feels like my home. T What made your family come here? That’s a big change! L Actually, my dad went to university in London, and then he went back and taught at a school in Kiev. He and my mum got married and started a family. But my dad really wanted to come to the UK − and my mum didn’t really mind − so we moved here. T My family on my mother’s side came from abroad as well, but it’s so long ago that no one really knows why they came here. L Where did they come from? T My great-grandparents on my mother’s side came from Norway. My great-grandad made musical instruments like violins, and we guess he came here to start a business in London. L Was he successful? T Yes, he was. There’s still a shop in the East End with his name on it, and it’s quite well known. L What about your father’s family? Were they immigrants as well? T No, not at all. They were farmers in the south of England. My dad was actually raised on a farm there, and he was the first in his family to go to university. I really look up to him. I’m particularly proud of him because he worked very hard to get where he is today.

Steve We moved to a village about five kilometres out of town. It’s an old detached house with about an acre of land. L Wow, that sounds fantastic! Actually, we moved house last month too, but it was just to a bigger flat in the same area. It must be really peaceful where you are. S You know, it’s true that I sleep better there. I hadn’t really realised how noisy our road in town was. But it’s so much less convenient! I have guitar lessons in the evening, and I’m in a school theatre production too, so I spend hours waiting for buses. I used to just walk everywhere. L Hmm. I’ve never really thought about that. We’re right in the centre of town, so everything’s so close. So where did the idea of moving to the countryside come from? S Well … my mum had always wanted to live in the country, and she’s really enjoying having a big garden now. My dad seems to like it there as well. He likes doing DIY projects, and lots of things in the house are broken, so there’s plenty for him to do. So I’m the only one who’s not exactly thrilled. L Well, I wouldn’t mind putting up with it! I’d give anything to live in the countryside. S I’m not so keen on it. But in a couple of years I’ll be going off to university, so I’ll just put up with it until then.

Transcript 1 Boy Have you read about this new computer virus that affects tablets and smartphones? I’m really worried about losing all my photos. Girl You should keep a copy of them, just in case. B Where? On a CD? G In my opinion, a memory stick is the best place to keep copies. B Really? I could easily lose a memory stick – they’re tiny. G Well, buy two then. They don’t cost very much. 2 Boy I really want to buy one of these new smartwatches. Girl They’re so expensive though. It’s not the right time to buy one. B What do you mean? G As I see it, the price is likely to come down over the next few years. That always happens with new technology. B I suppose so. 3 Boy Did you see this report? Apparently, most people these days prefer to watch a film on their tablet than go to the cinema. Girl That’s ridiculous! In my view, it’s much better to see it at the cinema. You get the big screen – and the sound is great. B I agree. I’d never watch a film on a tablet.

Transcript Boy You know how Facebook works, don’t you, Frances? Girl Yes, I use it all the time. B Can you help me with it? G Sure, what do you want to do? B Well, I’ve never used it before so I was thinking of joining. G OK, that isn’t difficult. So, first of all, go to facebook.com. Then click on the ‘Sign up’ button and enter the information. B OK, Name … email … password … date of birth … G Then click on the green ‘Sign up’ button again. B OK, done. It says it’s going to send me an email. G Yes, once you get it you’ll need to confirm your email address by following the link in the email. B Ah, here it is. So I follow the link … and confirm. … Now it’s asking me if I want to search for friends. Shall I do that or skip that step? G Skip it for now. You can come back and do that later. Let’s create a profile for you. B OK, how do I do that? G Well, first, do you want a photo of yourself? B Yes, why not? G So, you need to upload a photo from your computer. Click on ‘Update Profile Picture’. Then open the folder where your photos are stored. B OK, done. Now it says ‘Add basic information’. This isn’t difficult. I think I can manage on my own now. Thanks for your help. G No problem. Give me a shout if you have any problems. B OK. Will do.

Transcript The common theme in the photos is education. In particular, they show the use of technology in education. In the first photo, the students are using virtual reality headsets, whereas in the second photo, they’re using tablets. Unlike the second photo, the first photo does not show the teacher, but he or she is probably in the room somewhere. In the second photo, the teacher is on a screen. He could be in another city or country. It looks as if the students are able to interact with the teacher, because one of the boys has his hand up.
The extra sentence is B. Transcript See exercise 4.

1 cheerful, optimistic 2 intelligent, ambitious 3 serious, patient Transcript 1 My friend Andy is great company – he’s great to do things with and hang out with. This is because he’s usually in a good mood. In fact, I can’t remember the last time he was in a bad mood! He’s always smiling and making a joke about something. He tends to see the positive in every situation and usually finds something nice to say about everybody. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like him. He’s a great friend to me, especially because I worry a lot and tend to see the negative side of life. But when I spend time with him, I always feel better after a while. 2 I’m very impressed with my sister Elise. She’s always been good at school and she’s usually at the top of the class or somewhere near it. She’s got a good brain and uses it. She understands things quickly and remembers things well. It could make her a bit lazy, but actually she’s the opposite! She works extremely hard. And she’s also very focused. She usually has a plan and she works towards it. Now she wants to go to a top university to study biology, which is a very difficult thing to achieve, but she’s determined. And I have no doubt that she will manage it. She’s not afraid to aim high and put the work in to achieve her goals. I’m going to be more like her. 3 My dad is an interesting person, although he doesn’t talk a lot and he doesn’t smile easily. But he reads a lot and thinks about things. And he takes a while before he gives you his opinion about something. But that’s OK because when he does finally express his view on a topic, then you know it’s worth listening to and you might learn something. He’s also very helpful with my homework. He’ll sit for hours explaining things to me. He never rushes me or gets annoyed if I don’t understand something. In fact, he’ll start from the beginning and go through it all again until I get it. I think he really enjoys it.

Job A (fruit picking) 1 pick apples 2 put them in boxes Salary £8 p/h Hours 7 a.m.–4 p.m. Accommodation No Transcript Boy I’m ringing to enquire about the job of fruit-picker, which I saw advertised on your website. Could I possibly ask you some questions about it? Manager Certainly. What would you like to know? B Well, first of all, may I ask what the responsibilities are? M That’s an easy question to answer. You have to pick apples. And then you put them into boxes. B I see. Another thing I wanted to know is, how much do you pay? M We pay quite well. It’s £8 an hour. Your total salary depends on how many hours you work, of course. B Speaking of hours, what time would I start work? And what time would I finish? M We start early, at seven in the morning and finish at four in the afternoon. B Moving on to the question of accommodation, do you provide your workers with anywhere to stay, or do we have to find out own accommodation? M No we don’t provide accommodation, I’m afraid, but there is a large hostel near the farm. B OK, thanks very much for your help. I’ll have a think about it and get back to you. M You’re welcome. Bye now. B Goodbye.

Transcript 1 A So what do you think of the candidates for the job? B I have to say, not many of them have had the right kind of experience. I liked the last one, though – she showed a lot of intelligence, and she had plenty of self-confidence, too. A She probably was the best of the lot today. Still, we have another group to interview tomorrow, so we might find someone who’s perfect for the post. 2 Are you unhappy with your slow internet connection?

They told me I can’t go out in the evening for a whole month − just because I got home late on Saturday! Boy Well if you make a deal with your parents, you have to stick to it, right? G I suppose so. I mean, I know I shouldn’t have come home late – or at least I should have rung them and said when I’d get home. But still … I’ve never been late before, so it seems pretty extreme. 4 With us today we have a university professor who is as comfortable in front of a TV camera as in the classroom. She has written one of the most fascinating books I’ve come across this year. It talks about how the climate of a country influences its people and their personalities, and even the development of an entire culture. Professor Wilson, welcome to Talk Time on Radio 5.
