[07:34.03]Passage One

[07:36.04]Most summer school courses in Britain last for two to four weeks. 

[07:42.29]During that time the students live either with a British family, 

[07:47.08]or at the school, or in a hotel. 

[07:51.04]They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday, 

[07:56.96]usually in the mornings. 

[08:00.19]Each school has a lot of different courses. 

[08:03.85]Some are for beginners 

[08:05.61]and others are for intermediate or advanced students. 

[08:10.61]The lessons are fun; the classes are small 

[08:14.53]and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries. 

[08:19.36]But summer school students don’t just 

[08:22.17]speak English in the classroom. 

[08:25.06]They are in Britain, so they speak 

[08:27.89]and read and hear it outside, too. 

[08:31.75]That’s why they learn so quickly 

[08:34.41]and why a summer school course is really a holiday. 

[08:39.17]Only one third of each course is taught in the classroom. 

[08:44.01]The rest takes place during a busy afternoon 

[08:47.42]and evening timetable of visits, sports and games. 

[08:53.11]These activities help everyone to make new friends, 

[08:57.15]have fun and improve their English.

[09:06.38]you have just heard.      

[09:10.34]14. What kind of course do summer schools offer?      

[09:21.84]15. Why do summer schools arrange visits 

[09:24.10]and other activities for the students?      

[09:32.92]16. Why do students in summer schools learn quickly?

[09:43.56]Passage Two

[09:45.58] James wrote a play for television about an immigrant family 

[09:49.96]who came to England from Pakistan 

[09:52.83]and the problems they had settling down in England. 

[09:56.78]The play was surprisingly successful 

[09:59.53]and it was bought by an American TV company. 

[10:03.00]James was invited to go to New York to help with the production. 

[10:08.28]He lived in Dulwich, 

[10:10.09]which is an hour’s drive away from Heathrow airport. 

[10:14.57]The flight was due to leave at 8:30 a.m., 

[10:18.28]so he had to be at the airport at about 7:30 in the morning. 

[10:24.06]He ordered a taxi for 6:30, set his alarm for 5:45 and went to sleep. 

[10:31.18]Unfortunately he forgot to wind the clock 

[10:35.43]and it stopped shortly after midnight. 

[10:39.44]Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late 

[10:43.85]that night and overslept.  

[10:46.68]James woke up with that awful feeling that something was wrong. 

[10:51.31]He looked at his alarm clock. 

[10:53.50]It stood there silently with the hands pointing to half past twelve. 

[10:59.10]He turned on the radio and discovered it was in fact ten to nine. 

[11:05.27]Ten minutes later, he heard the news over the radio 

[11:09.69]that Boeing 727 he should have taken crashed 

[11:14.68]shortly after taking off this morning. 

[11:18.48]James turned pale. 

[11:21.09]He thought he was fortunate 

[11:22.81]that he escaped from that disaster. 

[11:26.18]Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 

[11:34.91]17. What was James?

[11:39.84]18. Why was James going to New York?

[11:49.61]19. What was James’ play about?

[11:59.81]20. Why did James turn pale?
