Audio 016 - Conversation

  • Woman: Okay, so you have a bunch of stuff you want to buy and I have a bunch of stuff I want to buy. Shall we just split up and meet back at the food court for lunch in say an hour?
  • Man: Actually, I was hoping you might come with me at least to the framing store. You have a much better eye for that kind of thing. I know what sort of poster I want to buy from Michael, but I have no idea what kind of frame it will look good in.
  • Woman: But the person in the store should be able to help you with that.
  • Man: "Should" is the key word. I've noticed more and more that people who work in stores don't have any special expertise about the stuff sold in that store. I tried to buy a pair of shoes the other day and I swear the person didn't know a shoelace from a buckle.
  • Woman: You know, you're right. I had the same experience (something that happened to you) when I tried to buy a toaster. So, okay, I'll come with you to the framing store, but I'd really like to go to my favorite store first. They have a sale on sweatshirts, and I want to get there before they're sold out of the color and size I want.
  • Man: Fair enough. But since I'm not thrilled about going into clothing stores, I'll just wait outside. Okay?
  • Woman: No problem. Actually, I think that's where the fountain is with all the benches.
  • Man: Perfect. After that, I don't mind splitting up. Will it really take you just an hour, though? It's Saturday. This place is crowded.
  • Woman: H, good point. Better make it 2 hours. Maybe by then the food court won't be as busy.
  • Man: That would be nice. I hate being jostled when I've got a full tray of food. And I'm planning to get exactly that at the new Thai restaurant that's opened up. They have a buffet.
  • Woman: Really? I didn't know that. Guess who else will be getting a full tray of food?
Answer key was not included in the available CELPIP listening source files.

  • A) He doesn’t know where the framing store is.
  • B) He values her judgement about picture frames.
  • C) He wants to show her the poster he purchased.
  • D) He wants her to meet his friend Michael.

  • Woman: Okay, one moment, please, while I bring up your account (record for buying and paying). Perfect. How can I help you today, sir?
  • Man: I've been living here for almost 4 months, since December. Yesterday, my landlord (person who owns the home you rent) told me I should have phoned you to set up my Hydro account (record for buying and paying) and arrange to make payments. Here it is, late March. I haven't received a single hydro bill and I haven't paid Northwest Hydro 1 cent. The electricity bill for this apartment must be 3 months overdue.
  • Woman: Well, actually, it appears that someone's been paying the costs for you.
  • Man: Seriously, who?
  • Woman: I'm afraid I'm not allowed to disclose that information.
  • Man: Was it the last tenant who lived here? I know she moved to Beijing. Didn't she notify you that she moved out and cancel (stop an order or service) her hydro account (record for buying and paying)?
  • Woman: I'm afraid I can't disclose that person's information, but I can tell you that we will register you as responsible (the person who must do something) for this account (record for buying and paying) and we will send you a hydro bill for a total of $240 covering December 1st through March 31st. Any person or organization who was paying your hydro bill will be reimbursed.
  • Man: No problem. I'm responsible (the person who must do something) for the bill and I want to pay. I was worried that my electricity would be cut off for non-payment.
  • Woman: Actually, Northwest Hydro has a policy (rule or plan) of not cutting off people's electricity during the winter months. It's 20 below zero outside. People, well, they depend on us to survive. But if an account (record for buying and paying) goes unpaid for 3 months in the summer, then we do cut off the power.
  • Man: That's a good policy (rule or plan). Not that I'm the type of person who doesn't pay my bills, but it's good to know.

Part 4 - Listening to a News Item

Audio 031 - News Item

  • 7-year-old Dustin Senoval got both a scolding and a hero's applause earlier this week when his mischievous antics led him to save another child's life. Dustin, who loves leaving prank messages on his home answering machine, pocketed his mother's cell phone without her knowledge and went to play at the park in their townhouse complex. He intended to make another prank call while his mother was gardening in the yard. This time, however, Dustin's antics saved the day in the park. He saw a child lying on the ground unconscious. Dustin immediately called 911 with his mother's cell phone and an ambulance arrived within minutes. Paramedics discovered that the 9-year-old victim, James Song, had been stung by a bee and needed treatment (medical care for illness or injury) for anaphilaxis, a potentially fatal allergic (made sick by a food or thing) reaction. The boy recovered quickly in the hospital. Dustin's mother was exasperated to discover (find out) her son had taken her phone and sternly warned him not to do so again. However, she was happy to learn something positive came out of it. James' father presented Dustin with a cell phone as a thank you for saving his son. Since the incident, Dustin's mother hasn't received any more prank calls.

  • 7-year-old Dustin Senoval got both a scolding and a hero's applause earlier this week when his mischievous antics led him to save another child's life. Dustin, who loves leaving prank messages on his home answering machine, pocketed his mother's cell phone without her knowledge and went to play at the park in their townhouse complex. He intended to make another prank call while his mother was gardening in the yard. This time, however, Dustin's antics saved the day in the park. He saw a child lying on the ground unconscious. Dustin immediately called 911 with his mother's cell phone and an ambulance arrived within minutes. Paramedics discovered that the 9-year-old victim, James Song, had been stung by a bee and needed treatment (medical care for illness or injury) for anaphilaxis, a potentially fatal allergic (made sick by a food or thing) reaction. The boy recovered quickly in the hospital. Dustin's mother was exasperated to discover (find out) her son had taken her phone and sternly warned him not to do so again. However, she was happy to learn something positive came out of it. James' father presented Dustin with a cell phone as a thank you for saving his son. Since the incident, Dustin's mother hasn't received any more prank calls.

  • The addition of bike lanes in densely populated urban areas throughout major Canadian cities is on the rise, creating tension between cyclists and car drivers. Shannon Tulu, an avid biker and campaigner for city cycling in Toronto, says that bike lanes have been absent for too long in city planning. She believes it is the long wait that has created a culture of car drivers that are now irrationally annoyed at having to accommodate for different modes of transport. The municipal government, meanwhile, is hesitant to support cyclists over drivers. And yet, had major bike lanes been around 20 years ago, Tulu suggests the bike culture would have grown since then, and no one would be batting an eye now. She points to cities such as Amsterdam, where 40% of commuting is done by bike, and the infrastructure has been in place for decades. For Tulu, the main need for bike lanes is safety. Having been in two serious bike accidents in which no bike lane was available (ready to use), Tulu understands the need for a designated cyclist roadway. Tulu says statistics show that less bike accidents occur when cyclists have their own lane. Fred Morris is the chair of the provincial mountain biking association. His passion for cycling does not, however, place him in the same camp as Tulu. On the contrary, Morris counters that while recreational bicycling is wonderful, bikes have no place in city traffic. Five years ago, he was in an accident in which he was cycling in a designated lane. Morris argues bike lanes create the illusion of safety because cyclists assume drivers are looking out for them. He says bike lanes actually increase the chance of car drivers hitting cyclists when they accidentally turn in front of them. Morris criticized cyclists for being aggressive. They don't want to lose their momentum and come to a full stop at intersections, and so they take chances to maintain (keep going) speed. Morris agrees with Tulu that if more city bike lanes had been built in Toronto decades ago, things would be much different. More bike lanes then would have meant a much stronger bike culture now, and car drivers would be more accepting and aware. But Morris says it's much too late to try and add bike lanes into already dense populated areas. Doing so, he says, will just cause more aggression on both sides. Tulu disagrees. In a time when cities are trying to reduce fossil fuel emissions and encourage environmentally friendly (kind and nice) ways of living, she argues developing a generation of bicycle commuters is crucial to the health of our cities and our planet.

  • A) cyclists are much more careful than car drivers.

  • C) it’s too late to promote city cycling in many cities.
