FULL BLAST 3 - KEY TO TESTS LISTENING TRANSCRIPT Kirsten is my best friend. She's great to hang out with so we spend lots of time together. Kirsten is a bit lazy sometimes, just like me. Sport isn't our idea of having fun. We prefer staying at home, surfing the Net or chatting. She always listens to my problems and tries to cheer me up. I don't think I'll ever have a better friend. I first met Paula at football practice. We play in the same team. She's alright, but she can be really annoying at times. She always thinks she's right about everything. She also wants people to do whatever she says and never changes her mind. This can be really difficult sometimes, especially in football, because it's a team sport and everyone must work together. I like Fiona a lot. She's not perfect, but we get along fine. I'm quite shy and I'm a bit lazy, too, but Fiona is very energetic and makes me join her in all sorts of activities and sports. I don't know where she finds all that energy to do stuff. She really believes in herself and she always knows what she's doing. I like her for that - if it wasn't for her, I would just stay at home by myself and do nothing. The only thing I can't stand is that she doesn't keep any of my secrets. But I guess nobody's perfect.

Lovely hair, Liz. Thanks, Polly. I've just come back from the hairdresser's. You know, the new one which just opened. Did you dye it as well? Why? Does it look like I've dyed it? Yes, it looks darker. Well, I didn't. It must be the light. What about your hair? You wanted to get some highlights last time you went to the hairdresser's. I know, but I changed my mind at the last minute. Maybe you should. I think it would look great. Maybe I will. Where are you going, Julie? Home. Why? Don't forget to call Sally later about Saturday's trip, OK? Don't worry. I won't. Are you sure? You're not going to sit in front of the TV all night and forget about it, are you? No, but you're right. The first thing I usually do when I get home is turn on the TV, but not today. I have to study. As soon as I finish, I'll give her a ring. Anyway, if I don't ring her, she'll ring me. We're the type of friends who have to talk every day. Whatever you say.

Thanks. Is there a fork anywhere around here? What do you need it for? Use that knife over there to peel them. I just want to taste those mushrooms you've made. They smell delicious.

Hello, Mr Fisher. So, is that the famous dog? Yes, my old pal, Buck, the hero. Come here, boy. So tell us what happened last Saturday. Well, I had taken Buck for a walk in the woods as usual, and when we returned home he wouldn't let me go into the house. He kept jumping on me and barking. I couldn't understand why he was acting so strangely. He knew something was wrong and that something was going to happen, didn't he? Yes, it seems, but I didn't realise at the time that he was trying to warn me. I just thought that he wanted me to take him for another walk. Did you? I was too exhausted. Anyway, I took my keys out of my pocket and to my surprise he just grabbed them and started running! Really? Yep. I chased him and after some time, I caught him and got my keys back. But as I was walking towards the house, the earthquake occurred. I just couldn't believe it! You were very lucky! Yeah, I was. Lots of houses in my neighbourhood collapsed. You can imagine how shocked everyone was. Luckily, mine wasn't completely destroyed. There's a lot of damage but at least I still have a place to live, and most importantly, I'm alive.

What's that you're listening to? It's my latest R&B CD. It's pretty good. Well, it's better than some of the other music you listen to. Aren't you a bit old for this kind of music, Dad? You're into jazz or something, right? No, I've never liked jazz. Wait a minute. You were in a band once, weren't you? Not really. I wrote a few songs for my brother's band. I was good with words, you see. They played rock. They were very good, actually. Have you got an album of theirs? I don't know. Maybe somewhere.

So, have you had a look at the leaflet with the courses? Yes, but I haven't decided yet. Tell me you're not into drawing or painting? No, I'm not the artistic type. Good. My sister took the Spanish course last year and she said it really helped her on her trip to Madrid. So, how about Spanish? I don't know. Sounds like hard work and no fun. But the only ones left are karate and taekwondo. Are you sure you want something so extreme? It could come in useful. I suppose you're right.

Look out there. I hate it when the weather's like this. Me too. Foggy weather just makes me feel down. It wasn't like this when I was travelling around Mexico, I can tell you. Lots of sandy beaches and hot weather, eh? Not really. Clear blue skies yes, but the temperatures were about the same as here. Really? Yeah, not very warm. Too bad. I didn't mind. I don't like really hot weather.

Well, I haven't been there yet. But I saw a poster as I was coming here. It seems to offer quite a lot. Really? Like what? Has it got weights and ... Of course, silly. All gyms have got weights and treadmills. Oh, OK. What about dance classes? I really want to learn Latin dances. I don't know about Latin. The poster said that there are dance classes.

And that's included in the price, too. I see. It sounds good, but it must be quite expensive. Well, it's 50 euros a month. That's 600 euros a year! You can't be serious! Calm down.

They have been questioning Gary Smith, the man who was arrested as he was leaving the bank. €300,000 were found in his backpack and police now know that he wasn't working alone. One of the main reasons is that there's still €100,000 missing from the bank. Their investigation points to the security guard, John Green, who disappeared the day of the robbery. The bank manager told the authorities that the guard was new on the job and that he saw the two men talking. More questions need to be answered and police are now looking closely at the security cameras. On to other news now. A woman with...

Debbie Well, I invited my new Brazilian neighbours round for dinner. I spent all day preparing food and a delicious dessert. But when I asked them if they liked the food, they didn't really say much, and I was bit offended. All they kept doing was touching their ears a lot. Host That's strange. Debbie It was only later that I realised that pulling your ear means you like something a lot in Brazil. Host I see, so your hard work didn't go to waste. Nice one, Debbie. Right, now we have Ian from Rochester. Hi, Ian! Ian Hi there, Steve. My story comes from summer camp last year. My Greek roommate, John and I are great friends now, but when we first met, we had a bit of an argument. I asked to borrow his camera and he just raised his eyebrows. I didn't understand and he didn't say 'no', so I just took it. He got really angry, and after arguing about it for a while, I realised that the gesture meant 'no'. Host I didn't know that. Always good to learn these things. Who's next? It's Ken from York. Ken Hi, Steve. I just wanted to point out how long people shake hands for in different countries. I mean, just a few seconds is enough, in my opinion. But I met an Italian man the other week and he was shaking my hand for ages! In the end, I had to say something.

FULL BLAST 3 - KEY TO TESTS Writing Open exercise. LISTENING TRANSCRIPT Emma My parents were away for the weekend and I was at home with my sister. I remember that night because the weather was really strange. There were strong winds at first and all the windows shook. Then the rain started. It hadn't stopped by the time we went to bed. Mary, my sister, came to sleep with me because she was afraid of the lightning. In the morning, it was still raining. When we went downstairs to make breakfast, we saw there was water everywhere and not just in our house, but the streets, the neighbourhood, the whole village! Alex It was quite silly, actually. I was riding my bike home after rehearsing with the band. I play the guitar, you know. It was late in the afternoon and it was getting dark. As I reached the old cathedral, I remembered the stories my brother used to tell me about that place... you know, that it's haunted. I got a bit scared and lost control of my bike. I didn't see the tree at all. I was hurt, but not badly. My bike, though, was completely destroyed. Jennifer I was at a café with my sister, when at some point, I had to go to the bathroom. The minute I walked in, the lights went out. I wasn't scared at first but then I heard a voice. I couldn't understand what it was saying. The lights came on again and I looked around but I was all alone. Then I noticed a message on the mirror. It said 'HELP ME'. I ran out as fast as I could and told my sister what had happened, but when we went back in there the message was gone. Neil Well, what can I say... I remember the time he ran into a house which was on fire, and all by himself, managed to rescue a five-year-old who was trapped inside. He was the town hero the next day, and of course, I was proud because he was my brother. But there are hundreds of things, both good and bad, about him. He's always confident about himself, for example, but he can be really bossy and stubborn too, sometimes.
