I really enjoyed my visit. First I looked at the books on sale. Jane Adams, the famous television cook, was there signing copies of her latest book. It’s about making cakes so I had to have itl My family loves sweet things and I really liked her last book about making bread. There’s a different famous cook there every day signing books and talking to people. In fact, there’s advice on all sorts of topics. I listened to someone from the central market talking about what you should look for when you buy fish. I’ve always been nervous about buying it, because how can you tell if it’s really fresh? Well, I think I’ve got a better idea now. Then, in the exhibition theatre, I saw a cook prepare a healthy but tasty lunch using only vegetables! They will prepare a different dish every day. Also in the theatre, at 2 o’clock every day, a cook talks about preparing delicious desserts in under 15 minutes. I tasted one made with chocolate and it was out of this world! At the show, you can try food from all around the world, from Chile to China, and I did! I enjoyed the food from Canada most of all, although everything I tasted was really good. The exhibition centre is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and from 10 until 6 on Sundays. But hurry, because the last day is the 23rd of March when the Good Food Show has to make way for the Boat Show. For more details, phone ...

• Look at the six sentences for this part. • You will hear a conversation between a boy, Tom, and his sister, Clare, about school. • Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.Clare thinks their father will be pleased by Tom’s news.Boy: Guess what, Clare? I’ve been chosen for the school swimming team! What do you think about that? Girl: Well, I think it’s great, but I’m sure Dad won’t say the same when he finds out. You know how he feels about you doing all this sport and not doing your school work. You’ll never get all your homework done, especially if you have to travel to other schools for competitions. Boy: It won’t make any difference. I can do my homework on the bus. Girl: Honestly Tom, you know what your teacher said to Dad last term. You’ve got a good brain and you could improve your marks at school if you spent a bit less time thinking about sport. Sometimes I wonder if you ever think about anything else at all. Boy: Well, I work hard at everything I like doing, not just sport. I mean, take maths for example. Girl: Okay, it’s your life, but you know you have your examinations next year for college, and at most of the good colleges they have great sports facilities, If you aren’t accepted, then you’ll have to find a job and that won’t be easy. Boy: Oh I’ve thought about that already. I’m thinking of applying to do Sports Science at college and someone told me some of the colleges often take students with lower marks if they’re good at sport. Girl: Well, I wouldn’t depend on what one of your friends says if I were you. Boy: For your information it wasn’t one of my friends, it was a teacher at school. Girl: I’m only trying to help and anyway it doesn’t really matter what I say, it’s Dad you have to worry about. Boy: Yes, okay. I know you’re right about that. I’ll have a chat with him tonight and explain things again. Girl: Good luck! 正确错误

How much is the man’s ticket? [*]One. How much is the man’s ticket? Man: Can you tell me how much a ticket is for Saturday’s performance of Macbeth? Woman: The front stalls and the circle are the most expensive at ￡16.50. The middle seats in the stalls cost ￡15 and the back three rows cost ￡12.50, but the view isn’t so good. All seats are ￡10 for students. Man: I’ll have one in the middle please. I’m not a student. I’ve got my credit card here.

To really understand My life you need toWoman: Welcome to this week’s book programme. We’ve got lots of great new books to tell you about. My life, by Joe Wrigley, will keep all fans of Joe’s stories happy for hours. It explains a lot about where his ideas come from and gives a picture of what was happening in his life when he was working on his most successful books. I must say, though, that some of it is difficult to understand if you haven’t read his other books. Now, for those of you who like a good cry, Goodbye to the fields, by Susan Marks, tells the sad story of John, a small boy who has to leave the countryside he loves when the family move to London because of his father’s job. John and his mother would prefer to stay where they are. It’s a long time before the family begins to feel comfortable living in the big city. There are plenty of books with helpful advice this week. First, the A-Z of photography would make a great present for anyone just starting out with a camera. It has everything you need to know to take really good photos, and learn about cameras, film, lighting and so on. This is not one for the experienced photographer, though — there’s not much advanced information here. Turning to the kitchen, Cooking for one, by Adrian White, says on its cover that even people who hate cooking will find it useful. A month ago, I couldn’t even boil an egg, but now I’m producing all sorts of dishes, some quite difficult, and, yes, they taste quite good, too. I’rn actually enjoying cooking now. I’m now going to try a new book about cooking Italian food. The last book this week is Holidays in Europe, by Mary Curtis. This is an enjoyable read, which will start your imagination working as you plan for next year’s holiday. It doesn’t matter that the writer doesn’t talk about the famous places everyone visits, but describes lots of small places away from the main tourist areas. The maps are too small to be useful but the book is still good value for money. That’s it for this week, then. Next week, there’s a special report on giving books as presents, so if you’ve saved up your money and you’re wondering what to get for a friend or relation for their birthdays, you might get some good ideas. I’ll look forward to talking to you then. read it very slowly. know about the writer’s life. read the writer’s other books.
