Listen to Joe asking about a French language course. For questions 1-5, decide True or False. You will
hear the conversation twice. Look at questions 1-5 now.
You have 20 seconds.
[pause]
Now listen to the conversation.
Joe:
Hello. I'd like some information about French courses, please.
Woman:
Certainly. Beginners classes are on Wednesdays, other classes are on Mondays or Fridays.
Joe:
I'm a beginner and I'm going to France on holiday. I want to speak to people in shops and
read information in museums and other places.
Woman:
Do 'French for Tourists' then. It'll be better than our Business class and you want more than
French Conversation.
Joe:
Great. I can only come in the evening.
Woman:
Fine, it starts at half past six, there's a break at quarter past seven and you go on until half
past eight.
Joe:
Is it a big class?
Woman:
We never have fewer than nine students or more than fifteen and ...
let me see, there are fourteen at the moment, so with you, the class will be full.
Joe:
OK. What about the coursebook?
Woman:
You'll get that in the first class and a special notebook. Bring a dictionary - that's always
useful.
Joe:
Fine. Oh, how much is the course?
Woman:
It's a hundred and seventy pounds for people from outside the city, but it's twenty-five
pounds less, or a hundred and forty-five pounds, if you live here.
Joe:
Oh, I do.
Woman:
Good. So let me just take your name ...
[pause]
Now listen again.
