Students’ own answers.

Audioscript
Examiner: Which of these activities do you like the
best?
Student: I like going to music festivals because you
can listen to some exciting bands and
also spend time with your friends and
have fun.
Examiner: Do you prefer to go on holiday to the
beach or the countryside?
Student: I prefer to go to the beach because in the
countryside it’s sometimes a bit boring,
because there aren’t many people and
there are no restaurants or cafés. At the
beach there are lots of people, so it’s more
exciting.
Examiner: Do you prefer swimming in the sea or in a
swimming pool?
Student: I prefer swimming in the sea. It’s more
interesting because you can see different
things around you, but in the swimming
pool you just have to go up and down all
the time, so I think it’s a bit boring.
