  [09:19.95]Now you have 1 minute to check through your work.

  [10:24.38]That is the end of PART I Dictation.

  [10:28.59]Part Two Listening Comprehension

  [10:32.37]SECTION A TALK

  [10:35.61]In this section you will hear a talk.

  [10:38.50]You will hear the talk ONCE ONLY.

  [10:41.44]While listening, you may look at ANSWER SHEET ONE

  [10:45.44]and write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.

  [10:49.79]Make sure the word(s) you fill in is (are) both

  [10:55.12]grammatically and semantically acceptable.

  [10:58.65]You may use the blank sheet for note-taking.

  [11:02.08]You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task.

  [11:38.71]Now listen to the talk.

  [11:40.17]When it is over, you will be given TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [11:45.44]5 ways to just enjoy retirement

  [11:49.69]Retirement means a lot more than Social Security benefit

  [11:53.63]and how to spend your pension.

  [11:55.23]For example, what are you going to do

  [11:57.61]when you get up in the morning?

  [11:59.18]You've worked for 30 or 40 years,

  [12:02.20]and now it's finally your turn to decide how to spend your days.

  [12:05.85]What are you going to do with all that time?

  [12:07.87]Here are five ways for retirees to find happiness in retirement:

  [12:12.92]1. Travel. According to a study, travel is one of the major goals

  [12:18.28]of people looking forward to retirement.

  [12:20.91]And some 70 percent of retirees say

  [12:23.83]that traveling has helped them enjoy life,

  [12:26.20]improving their mood and lowering their stress levels.

  [12:29.14]However, traveling can be expensive.

  [12:31.74]A third of retirees say they actually took fewer trips after retirement than they did

  [12:37.61]during the five years before retirement.

  [12:40.31]Sometimes health issues get in the way,

  [12:42.74]and many retirees admit they haven't saved up enough money

  [12:46.32]to do a lot of vacationing.

  [12:48.15]But remember, travel does not have to include a Mediterranean cruise.

  [12:52.32]It can also involve a weekend at the beach or a trip to visit the grandkids.

  [12:56.86]2. Use your skills. Many retirees want to be positive,

  [13:02.43]keep busy and work with others for some goal larger than themselves.

  [13:07.21]Sometimes this involves a part-time job,

  [13:09.33]but more often it seems to lead to volunteer work.

  [13:13.03]Retirees use their old skills in new ways.

  [13:16.41]For example, a finance executive now raises money for his church,

  [13:21.33]or a magazine editor teaches in the English department of his community college.

  [13:26.47]3. Try something new.

  [13:29.63]One key to a happy retirement is not just filling your time,

  [13:34.07]but doing things that are meaningful to you.

  [13:36.51]Many people spent a lifetime at a job

  [13:39.23]that provided an income to support themselves and their families,

  [13:43.02]but did not provide a sense of fulfillment and real satisfaction.

  [13:47.06]Retirement is an opportunity to create a life

  [13:50.74]that more closely reflects who you really are,

  [13:53.82]whether it's starting a home-based business,

  [13:56.20]learning how to paint, playing in a rock band

  [13:59.38]or writing the history of your family.

  [14:01.96]4. Find new friends.

  [14:04.77]It's easy to get lonely in retirement,

  [14:07.21]especially if you're retired and your partner

  [14:09.78]and friends are still working,

  [14:11.41]or if you've moved away from your longtime hometown.

  [14:14.95]Some people, especially men, have invested more of their lives in the workplace,

  [14:20.19]so they are used to meeting old friends from work

  [14:22.70]and getting together for lunch or golf.

  [14:25.29]But as time goes on and your work life became the past,

  [14:28.82]it's a good idea to make new friends, perhaps by traveling,

  [14:32.76]volunteering or taking an exercise class at the fitness club.

  [14:36.81]Make yourself feel more comfortable doing something together with them.

  [14:41.42]5. It's OK to do nothing.

  [14:45.64]Many people feel that they've been doing that for 40 years,

  [14:48.77]and now they just want to quiet down and enjoy life.

  [14:52.04]For some people retirement is their chance,

  [14:55.03]at last, to sit around the kitchen table and read the newspaper,

  [14:59.06]and then lie around in their backyard

  [15:01.54]and watch the clouds drift by.

  [15:03.73]And there's nothing wrong with that.

  [15:06.05]NOW you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

  [17:12.08]This is the end of Section A talk

  [17:14.90]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

  [17:19.11]In this section you will hear two conversations.

  [17:22.76]At the end of each conversation,

  [17:25.26]five questions will be asked about what was said.

  [17:29.04]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

  [17:35.16]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

  [17:39.86]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

  [17:47.69]and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

  [17:53.16]You have thirty seconds to preview the questions.

  [18:28.88]Now, listen to the conversations.

  [18:31.85]Conversation One

  [18:33.86]W: Good morning, North College Library.

  [18:36.91]How can I help you?

  [18:38.23]M: I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.

  [18:41.91]W: Are you a student at North College?

  [18:44.84]M: No. I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join,

  [18:48.52]even if I wasn't.

  [18:50.14]W: That's right, it is. Are you over 18?

  [18:53.77]That's our minimum joining age.

  [18:56.41]M: Yes, I am.

  [18:57.98]W: That's no problem then.

  [19:00.26]M: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?

  [19:03.45]W: Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms.

  [19:08.00]You'll also need to bring two passport photos with you.

  [19:11.63]We also need two documents for ID, so a driving license would be fine.

  [19:17.60]M: I've got that and what else? A credit card?

  [19:21.08]W: No, it needs to have your address on it.

  [19:24.61]M: Shall I bring a bank statement, would that do?

  [19:27.64]W: That'll be fine.

  [19:29.48]M: Good. Does it cost anything to join?

  [19:32.87]W: Well, it's free for students here

  [19:35.75]but otherwise it's £125 per year or £25

  [19:40.79]if you've got a current student card from another college.

  [19:44.47]M: I was at Westerley College until last year

  [19:47.57]but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory.

  [19:51.35]Er, it's more expensive than I thought.

  [19:54.75]My local library is free.

  [19:56.92]W: But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities

  [20:01.78]which we buy for our students.

  [20:03.75]That's why you have to pay to be an external member.

  [20:07.28]M: I see. How many books can I borrow?

  [20:10.73]W: We allow twelve items borrowed at one time

  [20:13.39]if you're a student and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos.

  [20:18.58]However, it's only eight items for members of the public.

  [20:22.75]M: Fine. And how long can I have them for?

  [20:26.07]W: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books

  [20:30.02]for four weeks which isn't bad really.

  [20:32.90]M: And what happens if I return them late?

  [20:35.88]W: Like all libraries there's a fine system in place.

  [20:38.90]The minimum fine is £1.5

  [20:43.55]but is can be much higher for some items--up to £5 per week.

  [20:48.05]We'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join.

  [20:51.98]M: OK. Oh, by the way, another thing I was wondering about was

  [20:56.64]if you ran any writing classes through the library?

  [20:59.93]W: We do, but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that.

  [21:04.64]He runs the creative writing classes.

  [21:07.41]M: Are the classes here at the library?

  [21:10.09]W: Yes, he's here on Thursday evenings.

  [21:12.96]Oh no sorry, Friday, he's just changed it.

  [21:16.47]M: OK. Right, well that's about all I need to know.

  [21:20.21]Thank you. I'll be along later this week to join. Thanks. Bye.

  [21:25.23]This is the end of Conversation One.

  [21:28.26]Questions 1-5 are based on Conversation One.

  [21:33.60]1. What is the conversation mainly about?

  [21:47.77]2. How much will it cost the man to join the library?

  [22:03.87]3. What do we learn about the library?

  [22:17.70]4. What if a person returns the borrowed books late?

  [22:32.74]5. When are creative writing classes given?

  [22:47.29]Conversation Two

  [22:49.16]W: Hello.

  [22:50.62]M: Oh, hello. I'm ringing about the advertisement

  [22:53.33]in yesterday's newspaper...

  [22:54.99]the one for the bookcases. Can you tell me if they're still available?

  [22:59.45]W: We've sold one, but we still have two available.

  [23:03.48]M: Right. Er... can you tell me a bit about them?

  [23:07.53]W: Sure, er... what do you want to know?

  [23:10.50]M: Well, I'm looking for something to fit in my study,

  [23:14.03]so, well, I'm not too worried about the height,

  [23:17.06]but the width's quite important.

  [23:19.48]Can you tell me how wide each of them is?

  [23:22.52]W: They're both exactly the same size.

  [23:25.82]Let me see, I've got the details written down somewhere.

  [23:29.61]Yes, so they're both 75 cm wide and 180 cm high.

  [23:36.78]M: OK, fine, that should fit in OK.

  [23:40.07]And I don't want anything that looks too severe...

  [23:42.68]not made of metal, for example.

  [23:44.80]I was really looking for something made of wood?

  [23:47.69]W: That's all right, they are, both of them.

  [23:50.67]M: So, are they both the same price as well?

  [23:53.69]W: No, the first bookcase is quite a bit cheaper.

  [23:57.47]It's just £15.00. We paid £60.00 for it just five years ago,

  [24:02.58]so it's very good value, it's in perfectly good condition.

  [24:06.62]It used to be in my son's room,

  [24:09.26]but it could do with a fresh coat of paint...

  [24:11.79]M: Oh, it's painted?

  [24:14.26]W: Yes. It's cream at present,

  [24:16.39]but as I say you could easily change that if you wanted...

  [24:20.84]to fit in with your colour scheme.

  [24:23.17]M: Yes. I'd probably paint it white if I got it.

  [24:27.52]Let's see, what else...

  [24:29.00]how many shelves has it got?

  [24:31.12]W: Six. Two of them are fixed,

  [24:33.37]and the other four are adjustable,

  [24:35.67]so you can shift them up and down according to the sizes of your books.

  [24:40.36]M: Right, fine. Well that certainly sounds like a possibility.

  [24:44.86]W: But the second one's a lovely bookcase too.

  [24:48.05]That's not painted, it's just the natural wood colour.

  [24:51.68]It was my grandmother's,

  [24:53.40]and it must be getting on for eighty years old,

  [24:55.95]it's very good quality,

  [24:57.73]they don't make items like that nowadays.

  [25:00.51]M: So what are you asking for that one?

  [25:03.34]W: £95.00.

  [25:05.64]M: Oh, it's a lot more than I wanted to pay.

  [25:08.51]I didn't really want to go above thirty or forty.

  [25:10.99]Anyway, the first one sounds fine for what I need.

  [25:15.14]W: Just as you like.

  [25:17.00]M: So is it all right if I come round and have a look this evening,

  [25:21.10]then if it's OK I can take it away with me?

  [25:24.64]W: Of course. And I'm Mrs Blake...

  [25:27.22]and the address is 41 Oak Rise.

  [25:31.18]M: Got it, so I'll be round at about 7.00,

  [25:34.25]if that's all right. Oh, and my name's Conor Field.

  [25:38.80]W: Fine. I'll see you then, Conor. Goodbye!

  [25:42.55]M: Goodbye!

  [25:44.28]This is the end of Conversation Two.

  [25:47.40]Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.

  [25:51.49]6. Why does the man call the woman?

  [26:06.42]7. What are the width and height of the two bookcases?

  [26:21.56]8. What are the two bookcases made of?

  [26:35.80]9. What do we learn about the first bookcase?

  [26:49.94]10. Why doesn't the man want to buy the second bookcase?

  [27:05.43]This is the end of Part Two Listening Comprehension.
