C Listen to some students answering the questions. How do they give themselves time to think? 1
Examiner: Does modern technology really save us time, or is it just one more thing to worry about?
Student: Mm, that’s a very good question. I think it’s a bit of both. Of course, ...
2

≤089 Workbook Unit 8 Listening
A Listen and match each extract to one of the speakers A–F. There are two speakers that you do not hear. Write the letters into the spaces 1–4. Extract 1 Voice: I never have enough time. When I arrive at my office, there are four or five important e-mails that need to be answered, and usually a phone message or two as well. I have one or two meetings every day, and I have to travel to them. I really wish there were more hours in a day.
Extract 2 Voice: People think we have lots of free time and only have one or two lectures a week, but actually I’m always really busy. I am doing three courses, and I have a part-time job, too. I don’t want my parents to have to support me.
Extract 3 Voice: There are parts of the day when I’m very, very busy, and other parts when I can relax for a while. I’m always in a hurry in the morning, getting breakfast ready, and then taking the children to school. In the afternoon, when I’ve tidied up and done the shopping, I take my time to read a magazine or watch some TV.
Extract 4 Voice: As everyone knows, the kitchen can be very hectic. Orders are coming in all the time, and the waiters and waitresses are hurrying in and out. I feel that I’m always short of time, but that is the challenge and I enjoy it.

B Listen and check your answers. 1 Personally, I think designer clothes and accessories are much too expensive. A pair of sunglasses just can’t be worth $500. People I know buy cheap clothes at the market.
2 I think it’s wrong that a small number of people have huge wealth while people all over the developing world live in poverty. Many people can’t afford food and clothes for their children.
3 The banks lend people too much money. People borrow more than they should and get into debt. They end up losing everything.
4 I think film stars and footballers are overpaid. They earn crazy amounts of money while other people earn very little. Nurses and schoolteachers are underpaid, in my opinion.
≤092 Unit 9 Listening 1
B Listen to four short extracts. Match each with a picture from Exercise A. Extract 1 Young adult 1: ... and look at these. Aren’t they great? Young adult 2: Oh, they’re really lovely. They must have been really expensive.
Young adult 1: No, not at all. They were only £35 in Topshop – down from £70. I think I got a bargain, don’t you?
Young adult 2: Definitely! Extract 2 Man 1: Good afternoon. Man 2: Oh, good afternoon. I’m going to Moscow tomorrow, and I want to change some money – say, about £200. To tell you the truth, I don’t know what the currency in Russia is.
Man 1: In Russia the currency is roubles, sir. Man 2: Roubles? OK, well, can I have £200 worth of roubles then, please?
Extract 3 Old man: Hello, there. What are you collecting for?
