TRAVEL AGENT: Good morning. World Tours. My name is Jamie. How can I help you?

did you see an advert somewhere?
ANDREA: No, I read about you in the ………………….
TRAVEL AGENT: OK, I’ll get the brochures in the post to you but can I give you some information over
the phone. What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?
ANDREA: I’m interested in going to California with my family. I’ve got two children and we want
to hire a car.
TRAVEL AGENT: OK. We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in
California. The first one begins in Los Angeles and there’s plenty of time to visit some of the …………….
parks there.
ANDREA: That’s something on my children’s list so I’d want to include that.
TRAVEL AGENT: Good. Then you drive to San Francisco. From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite
Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.
ANDREA: I don’t like the idea of staying in a ……………….. It’d be too hot.
TRAVEL AGENT: Right. And the tour ends in Las Vegas.
ANDREA: OK.
TRAVEL AGENT: The other trip we can arrange is slightly different. It starts in San Francisco. Then you
drive south to Cambria.
ANDREA: Someone told me there’s a really nice ………………near Cambria. Will we go near that?
TRAVEL AGENT: Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.
ANDREA: Good. I’d like to do that. Does this trip also go into the desert?
TRAVEL AGENT: No, it continues to Santa Monica where most people like to stop and do some
shopping.

TRAVEL AGENT: OK. Well you could go straight on to San Diego.
ANDREA: That’s good for ……………….. isn’t it?
TRAVEL AGENT: That’s right, that’s a good place to relax and your children might like to visit the zoo

SECTION 2

On behalf of LP Clubs, I’d like to welcome you all here today. My name’s Sandy Fisher and I’m one of the
fitness managers here. Before we start our tour of the club I’ll just run through some basic information
about the facilities we have here, including recent improvements, and explain the types of membership
available.
Our greatest asset is probably our ……………………. which at 25 metres isn’t Olympic-sized, but now
we’ve ……………………. it to eight lanes, it’s much wider (Q11&Q12). This means there are rarely more
than a couple of people at a time in each lane. Unfortunately, there isn’t space for an outdoor pool here
but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable, which means you can enjoy something of
the open-air experience on warmer days.
Our recently refurbished ……………………. (Q11&Q12) has all the latest exercise equipment including ten
new running machines, and a wide range of weight-training machines. Each member is given full training
in how to operate the equipment and there is always a trainer on duty to offer help and advice.
Although we do have adult-only times after 6 and at certain times at weekends, children are well
catered for. Older children continue to benefit from a wide range of tuition; anything from trampolining
to yoga.
——————–
One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them. This starts on
day one with your personal assessment. You are asked to fill in a questionnaire giving details of any
……………………. (Q13). One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you.
The trainer will then take you through the …………………….(Q14) for using the equipment in the fitness
suite. During your next exercise session a personal trainer will work with you to make sure you
understand these. It’s very important to do this because we really do want to avoid having any sports
injuries. There’s a lot more to looking after yourself than simply lifting weights!
At the end of the personal assessment, the trainer will draw up a plan, outlining what you should try to
achieve within a …………………….(Q15). This will then be reviewed at the end of the six weeks.
Now, I’ll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available. All members must pay a
……………………. of £90 (Q16) in addition to the rates for the monthly membership fees. Gold
membership entitles you to …………………….at all LP Clubs (Q17). There are now LP clubs in all major
cities and towns so if you travel a lot will be a great advantage. Individual gold membership costs £50 a
month and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.
Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them to
use the club during the day and so LP gives booking preferences to Premier members at …………………….
(Q18). This means you will find it easier to book the sessions at times that suit you. Reciprocal
arrangements with other LP Clubs are available to Premier members. Premier membership is for
individuals only, but you will be sent passes for guests every month (Q19). The monthly fee is
…………………….
You don’t have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club. We provide robes and
hairdryers in the changing rooms, but it’s very important to remember your
……………………. (Q20) because you won’t be able to get in without it.
For people who aren’t working during the day then …

SECTION 4

Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered
member of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is actually born with a white coat, which is the
result of a ………….….. that surfaces in a few (Q31). Local people have named it ‘the spirit bear’.
And according to the legends of these communities, its snowy fur brings with it a special
…………. (Q32). Because of this, it has always been highly regarded by them – so much that they do not
speak of seeing it to anyone else. It is their way of protecting it when …………. visit the area. (Q33)
The white bear’s habitat is quite interesting. The bear’s strong relationship with the old-growth
rainforest is a complex one. The white bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many
ways. For example, the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent …………… of the
soil along the banks of the many fish streams (Q34). Keeping these banks intact is important because
these streams are home to ……………..., which are the bear’s main food source. In return, the bear’s
feeding habits nurture the forest. As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great
amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce lush vegetation that sustains
thousands of other types of life forms, from ……………………. and more.
Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on ……………….. (Q35).
There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than two hundred of these white
bears remain. The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate balance of
their …………………… – in other words, their ecosystem.
———————–
The greatest threat to the bear’s existence is the loss of its habitat. Over many years, logging companies
have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees. In addition, they have built ……………..
which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds, and many hibernation sites have also
been lost (Q36). The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears
fish. To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no
legal limit on …………….. at the moment. (Q37)
all these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear’s very existence, which is made all the
more fragile by the fact that ………………....... among these bears has always been disappointingly low.
(Q38)
And so, what’s the situation going forward? …………..…………………., environmental groups and the British
Columbia government are now working together on the problem. The government is now requiring
logging companies to adopt a better logging …………. (Q39), which is a positive step. However, these
measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future.
Other steps also need to be taken. While it is important to maintain the spirit bear’s habitat, there also
needs to be more emphasis on its ……………….. (Q40). The move is justified as it will also create space for
other bears that are losing their homes …
