Текст аудирования:
Speaker A
When I was fifteen, I heard a song on the radio that contained lyrics that I thought were absolutely amazing. I could not understand how anyone had had the genius to use those particular words and then set them to music. It really made me want to be a songwriter. Well, after attending university I entered the banking industry and became very wealthy. But was I happy? No. I had never been married or had children, and the only person I had to worry about was me. So, last year I threw in the towel on my banking job, moved to the country and started songwriting. I know I’m not going to make a mint but at least I’m doing what I always wanted to do.
Speaker B
I was never what you could call a couch potato. For years, I played squash a couple of times a week with the boys from the office and there wasn’t a Saturday that went by that didn’t see me out kicking a ball around with my son, George. Then I had a heart attack. Thank goodness it wasn’t a major one, but it certainly got me thinking about what kind of condition I was in. I got involved with the British Heart Foundation and changed my diet and my exercise programme. I decided I wanted to participate in their run to raise money for research into heart disease. I trained hard, I got frustrated, and then I trained harder. The day I completed the 20 kilometre run, was one of the proudest days of my life.
Speaker C
When I first walked through the doors, I felt like I wanted to wither and die. All those strange faces, intimidating rooms and unknown corridors made my knees knock. I really thought I was going to faint. All I could think was that this was all my dad’s fault.Why did he have to accept that promotion? Why did we have to leave the town where I had been born and raised for twelve years? Then, I started to feel selfish. I knew the answers to both questions. My father wanted to make a better life for me and my mum. I stopped feeling sorry for myself, straightened my shoulders and made a silent promise to myself to make the best of it.
Speaker D
Kim and I had been best mates from the day we could walk. At least that’s what our mums tell us. She and I went through everything together: first day of school, first crushes, and first heartbreaks.When the time came, we even chose to go to the same university.As the years went by, both of us married and settled down. Kim had twins and I had one child, Matthew. Hard to believe that we had our first and only falling out about how to bring up kids, isn’t it? She made a comment that I sheltered Matt too much, which I did, I responded that her house was like a zoo, and things went downhill from there.Two years went by and we didn’t exchange a word. It was only after coming across a hilarious photo of the two of us that I came to see what an idiot I had been. I will never forget the joy in her voice when she realised it was me on the other end of the phone.
Speaker E
I developed asthma as a very young child. As a result, things that were routine for most of my friends, playing chase, swimming in the river or going hiking were taboo for me. My mum, being a concerned mother, tried to protect me as much as she could. At the time I held it against her but, of course, she was only doing what she had to.Thankfully, I grew out of my asthma, and was no longer known as the kid ‘who couldn’t breathe right’. After an athletics coach took me under his wing, my confidence began to grow. With his support, I began to feel I could accomplish anything I wanted and I was no longer scared.
Speaker F
I’ve been working for the same company for about fifteen years. I’ve got quite a good position and the job is interesting. A couple of years ago, I was offered a promotion and to everyone’s surprise I turned it down.
The pay would have been better, of course, and that was quite tempting. But in the end, I realised I just didn’t want the extra responsibility. It would have meant travelling on business trips, too, and I didn’t want to be away from my family either.
