Listen and choose the correct answer.1. We had a good response to our survey and we found that while 80% of our employees drink coffee, only 15% drink tea, with the rest preferring water. 2. Over 800,000 people in the US are estimated to have tried skating. This may seem like a large number but it represents just over 0.26% of the population of 300 million. So, per capita, it is surprisingly small. 3. It is estimated that India is home to between 38,000 and 53,000 wild elephants, while Africa has between 470,000 and 690,000. Exact figures are difficult to determine.

Of course, everyone has heard of the famous writers Jim Harman, Anna Collins and Ian Cheriton, or I. H. Cheriton, as he is better known. And they have all lived in our small town! In fact, Anna Collins, the celebrated romance novelist, spent all her life in this town. She lived by the town square, where there is a plaque to commemorate her. She died in 1968 and you can see her gravestone in Tanbridge Cemetery. You may know Anna from her most famous work, The Pride of Angels, which won numerous awards and for which she was a runner-up for the Herald Prize in 1950. James Harman also lived here between 1975 and 1990. A bestselling horror writer, he got many of his themes for his haunting novels from this very town. He passed away a year after leaving Tanbridge and although he isn’t buried in the town, we do have a statue of him on the roundabout as you enter the town. Now, I. H. Cheriton has been the Poet Laureate for three years and he lives in Tanbridge today. His home is the red house by the river. Not only a poet, he has also written ten novels that have topped the book sales charts. He always does a lot of work for local charities and is quite a gem in this town. Lastly, another famous resident of Tanbridge is Sylvia Daniels. She grew up in Tanbridge and went to the local comprehensive here. You can see her childhood home just across the river by the post office. Now I am sure you all know her for her latest film Planet Dust, which has just reached number one at the cinema box office. But she wasn’t always an actress. Before she headed for Hollywood, you could have seen her waiting tables in the Dorage Restaurant here in town! She often comes back to visit as her family all still live here. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of her!

Listen and complete the information below.1. Now, on Wednesday, there will be a special class, which will be given by a wonderful local artist. As this isn’t included in your fees, you will need to pay for this on the day. We’ve kept the costs low. It’s only $10 for our regular members here. If you want to bring along anyone else who hasn’t studied with us before, the cost for them is $15. We charge them an extra $5 for the use of equipment, which old members have already paid for. 2. M: I’m thinking of taking my children to the Golden Beach in the holidays. Can you tell me how much it would cost on the bus? I don’t want to drive all that way. W: Right, you’d qualify for a family ticket, which is the cheapest way to do it. It’ll be $65 altogether, normally a child’s fare is $35 and an adult is $50. M: Oh, that’s a good deal! 3. M: I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. W: Yes, it was lovely, but I had to pay ￡90, which seems a bit expensive. Last time I stayed here, I only paid ￡75. M: Yes, I’m sorry, madam. We had to increase our prices a little bit this year. But that is actually a discounted price as you’re a regular guest. It would normally be ￡105. W: Oh! 4. M: Can you tell me how big the carport is? I just want to make sure our cars will fit. W: Let me have a look. How big are your cars? M: Mine’s about 1.5 metres wide and my wife’s is almost the same. W: Hmm, I don’t think it’s wide enough, I’m afraid. It says here that it’s 3.5 metres across, and you need at least a metre between the cars to be able to open the doors. M: You’re right. What about the height? Mine’s a van I use for work and I carry a lot of equipment on top. W: Let me see. It’s two and a half metres. Would that be tall enough? M: Oh, not for my big ladders, no. I’d like three metres at least. 5. W: I am trying to organise a party and I wondered if your hotel had a room we could use. M: We do have several function rooms, what date do you have in mind for the party? I’ll just warn you we’re already fully booked for the most of June, the first available date I have is 14th July. W: Oh, that’s not a problem. It’s for my dad’s birthday, which isn’t until 1st August. M: That’s a Tuesday. W: Yes, so I’d like to hold it at the end of July, on the Saturday before. M: So, that’s the 29th? W: Yes, that’s right.
