(Text 6)

M：Good morning, Hilton Hotel. Can I help you?

W: Good morning. I’d like to book a single room with a bath.

M：I’m afraid the single room has been booked out. How about the double room with a bath?

W: That’s ok. How much is the fee per night? M：$70. When will you be arriving and leaving, sir?

W: From Monday, October 22 to Friday, October 26, for 4 nights. (Text 7)

M：Jack, our teacher let me ask you which circus tickets you’ve decided to buy. W: Well. There wasn’t much choice of them. There weren’t enough of the ￡12.50 seats

for all of us, which is what I was planning to buy. And although there were lots of seats at ￡15.50, these were only on weekday afternoons, which I know wasn’t

suitable for us. So I’m afraid I’ve gone for the ones at ￡17.50. I know it’s more

than we wanted to pay, but at least we won’t be right at the back. W: OK. (Text 8)

W: How did you get interested in country music?

M: Well, when my friend and I first got our record player, we started to buy all kinds of records—jazz, country music and rock. Soon I found that I was buying more country music records than any other kind.

M：How did you start working for the radio station?

W: I thought there should be a radio program of country songs, so I went to CBC and suggested it. That was how we started the program called Golden Country Time. M：Then you were asked to write articles to explain the background of those songs. W: Yes, but soon I got tired of running to the library to find information, so I started buying country song books and building my own library. (Text 9)

M：I’m tired. I went to sleep late last night. W: Did you work overtime again?

M：No. I watched that new reality TV show till midnight.

W: Oh, you didn’t watch that rubbish, did you? It’s just a group of people, stuck in a

house, doing nothing! I have to admit it was attractive when it was new. But it’s strange to think people are still watching the same shows nowadays. It seems to me

that those shows just feed the big desire everyone seems to have for media attention. Everyone wants to be a star these days.

M：But there are still some people signing up for those shows just to experience a

different life or to earn some money.

W: Anyway, I have no interest in these nobodies whose idea of fame is that they were

on a reality TV show. I admire people with real talent who’ve actually earned their

fame because they are different from the rest of us.

M：Hmm, I don’t think so on that way. Maybe we need to rethink what fame is! (Text 10)

W: Welcome to the Ipswich Arts Festival. This recording will help you find your way around this year’s festival, the twentieth we’ve held here in Trafalgar Park. If you lookat your map, you will see the entrance to the festival on Trafalgar Road. Directly

opposite the entrance, you’ll see a bridge, and to the left of this you’ll find this year’sSculpture Garden. It’s a lovely setting to admire the skill of the sculptures who have

carved their artwork out of both wood and stone. If you follow the path through the middle of the park, you’ll reach the Catering Village, where you can buy food and

drinks. Just past there is an area between the Catering Village and the toilets where

you’ll find an exhibition of paintings all done by local artists. If you then go back

past the Catering Village, on the left is this year’s Craft Market. This is always a

popular area of the festival, where you can admire the handwork of our talented exhibitors.

As always, we have live bands playing on stage throughout the festival. The stage is

actors will performing modern plays.
