Listening exam practice - The world of work

So far we've worked on la lot of vocabulary, a few listenings and some grammar. Let's now test it all with a few exam-type listenings. We'll work on the first two in class.

The first listening is about a male model talking about his career.

The second listening is about creativity in business and how to enhance it.

Listen to an excerpt from a local radio programme. The presenter is interviewing passers-by in the city centre about the nomination of Liverpool as European Capital of Culture 2008.

Decide whether these statements are true or false.

               

1. The first speaker is going to open a hotel to take advantage of the increase in tourism in 2008.

2. The cost of buying a house has increased since Liverpool was named Capital of Culture.

3. The second speaker is looking forward to the opportunity to party.

4. Hollywood film companies are going to move to the city.

5. There is already a lot of construction work in the streets.

6. The last speaker thinks that people are much more positive since Liverpool was chosen as Capital of Culture.

7. Listeners will shortly be able to hear one of the people in charge of the cultural programme for 2008.
