A sports centre — what is the problem with each thing?
Listen to Sarah talking to a friend about a sports centre. What is the problem with the different things at the sports centre? For questions 6–10, write a letter A–H. You will hear the conversation twice.
Friend: I like your new T-shirt, Sarah.

Friend: How was the swimming pool?

Friend: And is it easy to park?

Philip: I pay seventy-five pounds for the course — it’s not the cheapest. (12 = B £75)

Philip: Yes. We learn about famous photographers and I’m using my own camera, but what makes me happy is that I’m getting better at photography. (13 = C)
Friend: What’s easy to photograph?
Philip: Trees are easy. Animals move too much and children never stay still! (14 = A trees)
Friend: Will you get a job in photography after the course?
