PET Listening Test 2 Part 3

LISTENING TEST 02 Part 03

Part 3 questions 14-19.

Test 2 Part 3 1. back gate / gate 2. The Party / the party 3. school secretary / secretary 4. 15.75 5. ice cream / an ice cream 6. bus station / bus stop

Now turn to Part 3, questions 14-19. You will hear a man telling a group of students about a trip to the theatre. For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space. You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 3. [pause] Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Man: Okay everyone, now I need to say a few things about our visit to Staunton Theatre next Tuesday. You need to be here at school at six o'clock. We'll meet by the back gate because the coach can't stop at the front one. We can't leave any later than six, as the play starts at 7.30. We're seeing a very interesting play called The Party by Andrew McVitie. It's a comedy about a birthday celebration. His works can be difficult to understand so you need to read the play in advance. There is a copy for everybody which you can pick up from the school secretary. Do that as soon as you can. I'll hand out the theatre tickets on the coach. We're all sitting together, in rows E and F. The full price of these tickets is £18, but you're lucky, because I managed to get a discount for the group, so you only have to pay £15.75 each. Could you let me have this money before Tuesday, please, and £3.50 for the coach. Now, a lot of you have suggested going somewhere together afterwards. Well, the coach driver is willing to come back a bit later, but there isn't time for a three course meal, so we'll go to a cafe I know nearby for an ice cream and a coffee. Don't forget to bring some money for that. I've arranged for the coach to make an extra stop before it comes back to the school. So for those of you who need to take the bus home, it will be possible for you to get off at the bus station. If you decide to take a taxi, you should find plenty of taxis there, or you can walk to the main square. Right, any questions...

Theatres in Moscow

Cultural life of Moscow city is various and rich! Operas, ballets, symphonic concerts... Russian composers have created some of the most beautiful classical music. Russian classical music is very popular in Moscow. It is performed in many beautiful historical venues. Do not forget to include a visit to a concert hall in your itinerary when you are planning your stay in Moscow! And do it in advance.

There are almost no restrictions on dress code in Russian theatres. Visitors may wear jeans and sports shoes, they may have a backpack with them. Only shorts are not allowed.

A typical feature of Russian theatre – visitors are bringing a lot of flowers which they present to their favorite performers after the show.

Here are some practical advices where to go and how to buy tickets.

The Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the oldest, the most famous and popular opera and ballet theatre in Russia. The word “Bolshoi” means “big” in Russian. You can buy a ticket online in advance, 2-3 months before the date of performance on the official website . Prices for famous ballets are high: 6-8 thousand rubles for a seat in stalls. Tickets to operas are cheaper: you can get a good seat for 4-5 thousand rubles. Tickets are cheaper for daytime performances and performances on the New Stage. The New Stage is situated in the light-green building to the left of the Bolshoi's main building. The quality of operas and ballets shown on the New Stage is excellent too. However, you should pay attention that many seats of the Bolshoi’s Old and New Stages have limited visibility . If you want to see the Bolshoi’s Old Stage but all tickets are sold out, you can order a tour of the theatre. You can book such a tour on the official website.

If you want, following Russian tradition, to give flowers to the performers at the end of the show, in the Bolshoi flowers should be presented via special staff who collects these flowers in advance.

In August the Bolshoi is closed.

The Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre

This theatre is noteworthy. On one hand, it offers brilliant classical opera and ballet performances. On the other hand, it is an experimental venue for modern artists. You can check the program and buy tickets online here http://stanmus.com/ . If you are opera lover, get a ticket to see superstar Hibla Gerzmava . The theatre has a very beautiful historic building and a stage with a good view from every seat. Tickets are twice cheaper than in the Bolshoi.

The Novaya Opera

“Novaya” means “New” in Russian. This opera house was founded in 1991 by a famous conductor Eugene Kolobov. Its repertoire has several directions: Russian and Western classics, original shows and divertissements, and operas of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is very popular with Muscovites for excellent quality of performances, a comfortable hall, a beautiful Art Nouveau building and a historic park Hermitage, which is situated right next to it. You can buy tickets online here http://www.novayaopera.ru/en .

Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Center

The Opera Center has become one of the best theatrical venues in Moscow. It was founded in 2002 by great diva Galina Vishnevskaya. Nowadays its artistic director is Olga Rostropovich, daughter of Galina Vishnevskaya and her husband Mstislav Rostropovich, great cellist and conductor. Not only best young opera singers perform here, but also world music stars do; chamber and symphonic concerts, theatrical productions and musical festivals take place here. You can see what is on the program here http://opera-centre.ru/theatre . Unfortunately “booking tickets online” is available in Russian only. If you need help, you can contact us at and we can book a ticket for you.

Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and The Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory

These are two major concert halls for symphonic music in Moscow. Both feature excellent acoustics, impressive interior, various repertoire and best performers. You can check the program here http://meloman.ru/calendar/ . You need just to switch to English. Booking tickets online is available only for owners of Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian phone numbers. If you need help, you can contact us and we can book a ticket for you.

Moscow International Performing Arts Center (MIPAC)

This modern and elegant concert hall houses performances of national and foreign symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, solo instrumentalists, opera singers, ballet dancers, theatre companies, jazz bands, variety and traditional ensembles. Actually, it has three concert halls placed on three different levels and having separate entrances. The President of MIPAC is People’s Artist of the USSR Vladimir Spivakov, conductor of “Virtuosy Moskvy” orchestra. You can see pictures of the concert halls here http://www.mmdm.ru/en/content/halls . The program is impressive in its variety but is not translated into English. You can contact us at and we can find a performance for you.

Answer & Audioscript

1 B 2 A 3 A 4 B 5 C

Audioscript

A : Shall we send Amy a postcard? I really like this one with the river.

B : But we’re staying next to a lake, not a river!

A : Hmm, there aren’t any postcards with the lake. How about this one with the mountains?

B : No, that looks too boring. Let’s send her the first one you liked.

A : Are you going to tennis practice, Sue?

B : Yes, Dad, but I need to go to the library first. I have to return a couple of books.

A : Oh, could you get me the newspaper then?

B : OK, I’ll get it on my way back from tennis.

A : Hi, Joanna, are you going to the art class at half past two tomorrow?

B : Yes, but it starts later this week. The teacher won’t be back from the school trip until a quarter past two.

A : Oh yes, now I remember. Then I’ll see you there at quarter past three, right?

B : OK, see you there.

A : How was your holiday, Cathy?

B : Brilliant! I skied the whole time and my brother went snowboarding.

A : But your brother is only 5 years old!

B : Well, my mother was with him. She usually prefers relaxing in the sun while we ski, but this time she taught him to snowboard.

A : Sorry I’m late, Mum…

B : What happened? Was there a problem with your new scooter?

A : I didn’t take the scooter today. Unfortunately, I missed the bus back home, so Adam’s father gave me a lift.

B : Oh, he drives so slowly! That’s why it took you so long.

Listening Part 2

Questions 6-10.

For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one word or a number or a date or a time .

You will hear a teacher telling his students about a sports centre for teenagers.

6 nine 7 trainers 8 12.15 9 sandwiches 10 surfboard

Welcome to Georgetown Sports Camp. I’d like to give you some information: during your time at the camp you will find fourteen different sports, five indoor activities and nine outdoor sports. If you want to do a sport, just write your name on the lists of the sports you would like to do.

Now, clothes. For most sports you can just wear shorts and a T-shirt. As we do both indoor and outdoor sports, make sure you have a pair of trainers with you, too.

Lunch is served at the snack bar from quarter past twelve and quarter to two. You will find sandwiches and drinks to buy there, but if you want salad or fruit, you need to go to the little shop near the bus stop. Don’t eat too much or you won’t be able to run and jump!

For each sport you do, you will get a mark and each mark goes into your final score. If you get over 190 marks in total, you will get a tennis racket. The maximum score is 250 and those who get that score will win a surfboard.

I hope everything is clear.

Listening Part 3

Questions 11-15.

11 How old is Colette?

A 12

B 13

C 14

A visit the countryside.

C do some outdoor activities.

15 How will Colette and her father contact their guests?

A by telephone

B by letter

C by email

11 B 12 A 13 B 14 A 15C

Father : Sandy, do you remember the family we met on holiday in Austria…?

Sandy : Yes, they have a boy, right? Karl. He’s 13 like me…

Father : That’s right. Well, they’re coming to England next week. They’ve never been here so I want to plan something fun for them. What do you think?

Sandy : Well, they must spend a day in London! They could start the day by going on a tour bus around the city. Then they could go to the theatre or one of the many parks?

Father : Do you think the boy will like that? How about going to a museum?

Sandy : Actually, I found it a bit boring.

Father : But everyone visits museums on holiday!

Sandy : I think you should choose something outdoors, like a trip to the coast. Karl loves windsurfing.

Father : I’m not sure his parents like windsurfing though. Maybe I could drive them all to the countryside.

Sandy : Why not… It’s very relaxing so I’m sure they’ll like it.

Father : Or maybe I should just call them and ask?

Sandy : No. Let’s write a list of things they could do and then email it to them. They can choose what they’d would prefer to do.

Father : Good idea!

16 You will hear a girl and her brother talking about a birthday party. What did the girl like most?

A : So, did you enjoy Elizabeth’s party?

B : I did, but I think she should have invited more people from our school. I didn’t know anybody there. Fortunately, I danced to my favourite music all the time.

A : Well, what I really loved was the cake. Elizabeth’s mum made it!

B : I just had a little slice. You know I prefer eating sandwiches and chips at parties.

17 You will hear two friends talking about a teacher. Why is she leaving the school?

A : Have you heard about Ms Jenkins? She’s leaving the school next week.

B : Yes. I was really sad, but I understand she wants to live closer to her old parents. She’s going to teach in a school near their house.

A : I thought she was bored of teaching and had changed her job. After all, she can speak four languages. She can travel everywhere.

18 You will hear two friends talking about a test. They agree that

A : How did you find the test, Ewan? It took me ages to finish it.

B : It wasn’t as long as some of the other ones. I studied a lot for it, but it was still really hard.

A : Yeah, you’re right. The ones we did in the first term were much easier.

B : Let’s hope the next one will be better!

19 You will hear two friends talking about some photos. Which one does the girl want to use for a competition?

A : Look, Ted. Do you like my photo for the competition?

B : I don’t know. What’s so special about a tree in the middle of a field? I think the one with the butterfly is much better.

A : Yes, maybe you’re right. It’s more colourful. I chose blank and white for the tree, but maybe it’s a bit sad. Anyway, I’m sure Terry will win with her picture of the beach.

20 You will hear two friends talking about afternoon courses. What is the boy interested in?

A : So, which course are you doing this year?

B : Well, I really enjoyed learning to paint better last year, but this year I’d like a change. I love acting and I’d really like to be an actor one day.

A : I know, but it’s not that easy. Why don’t you do the guitar course with me? I’m sure you’ll like it.

B : I’m already learning to play the piano. Maybe I’ll learn the guitar next year.

Michael : Oh, it went really well. Everybody enjoyed making their own clothes.

Mother: So, whose was the best?

Michael : Well, Martha’s trousers were the most surprising. She used her father’s old coat to make them, you know.

Mother: And what about June? Every time I see her, she’s wearing a new pair of shoes!

Michael : Yes, she is crazy about shoes. But, no, she made a pretty skirt out of an old dress.

Mother: And James loves wearing ties, doesn’t he?

Michael : Yes, but he didn’t make one. He made a hat from plastic bottles. That was my favourite!

Mother: I’d like to see a photo of that!

Michael : Actually, I took some photos. Look… here’s one of Steve. He made a very funny T-shirt.

Mother: It’s great! And did anyone like your jumper?

Michael : I think so, but Walter’s hoodie was much nicer than my jumper. He loves fashion. I’m sure he’ll be famous one day.

Renee Elise Goldsberry attends the 30th Annual IFP Gotham Awards in New York City

Renee Elise Goldsberry had been a working actress for two decades when she was cast as Angelica in the musical Hamilton , which made her both a star and the idol of every fifteen year old with a mirror and a hairbrush to sing into. She now stars in in Girls5Eva, the brilliant Netflix sitcom about a reunitiing girl group, which just dropped its third season.

Idina Menzel

Idina Menzel is a Tony Award-winning powerhouse multi-hyphenate: a singer, an actress in film and TV, a songwriter, a Broadway star, and a philanthropist. She rose to fame for her role as Maureen in the Broadway musical Rent , and her career took off when she won a Tony Award for her role as Elphaba in the smash musical Wicked . Her voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney’s Oscar® winning Frozen , the second highest-grossing animated film of all time, with more than $1.2 billion in worldwide box office revenue. The film’s song “Let It Go”, voiced by Menzel, became an instant international phenomenon, winning the Oscar® for Best Original Song–where Menzel performed it at the ceremony–and the Grammy® Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. The track reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Menzel the first artist with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting.

Menzel recently released three electrifying singles “Move”, “Dramatic” and “Beast” from her new album, Drama Queen , set to be released on August 18 via BMG. The project is a departure from what she’s released in the past, as Menzel showcases her powerhouse vocals through disco-infused beats and soaring anthems. For the album, Idina worked with award-winning collaborators including Nile Rodgers (Chic, Diana Ross, Beyonce), Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Sir Nolan (Shawn Mendes, Carly Rae Jepsen), Jim Eliot (Elie Goulding, Kylie Minogue) and more.

Moscow attack explainer: why would Islamic State attack Russia and what will Putin’s response be?

After IS claimed responsibility for shooting in Moscow’s Crocus city hall, questions remain about how Russia will respond

Russia attack – latest updates

The attack on Moscow’s Crocus City concert hall is the deadliest attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS) on European soil, with 137 people confirmed to have been killed .

On Friday evening, attackers carrying assault rifles entered the concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, shooting for nearly an hour as panicked concertgoers scrambled to escape. Then the attackers set the venue on fire.

The death toll is slightly higher than the devastating Paris attacks of 2015 , which came at the height of the IS’s power.

Since Friday, events have moved quickly, with four suspects – identified as citizens of Tajikistan by a Russian news agency – appearing in court on Sunday, pleading guilty to being involved.

Questions remain, however: the shape that President Vladimir Putin’s response will take is unclear, while experts are seeking to explain the precise motive for the attack.

Why would IS attack Russia?

There are practical, historical and ideological reasons why IS would attack Russia.

IS leaders have long seen attacks against distant targets as an integral part of their extremist project. Such operations – when successful – terrorise their enemies but also mobilise existing supporters and attract new ones.

Often, targets are determined by what resources are available. Nine years ago, a cohort of French and Belgian recruits in Syria led to a wave of attacks in both countries. In the past 18 months, IS has made a concerted effort to recruit central Asian militants through its Afghan branch, known as Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP). Being Russian speaking, or even Russian nationals, these recruits can easily reach a target in Moscow, offering multiple new opportunities for attacks.

Russia has been in the cross-hairs of IS for many years. IS leaders, like many Islamic militants, are mindful of Russian support for the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. A key point made by IS propaganda from Pakistan to Nigeria is that Moscow is part of the broader coalition of Christian or western forces engaged in an existential, 1,400-year-old battle against Islam.

IS statements claiming responsibility for the attack boasted of “killing Christians”.

Moscow concert hall attack: what we know so far – video report

Leaders of ISKP may also see Russia as supportive of the continued rule of the Taliban, which has repressed them. They will also remember brutal Soviet military operations in Afghanistan in the 1980s and “the Jihad” waged by their fathers or grandfathers against Moscow’s forces. Russia’s bloody war in Chechnya in 1999 may be a factor too.

What will Russia’s response be?

Many terrorist attacks seek to provoke a powerful repressive response from authorities, with the aim of further escalating violence. If this was part of the IS plan for Moscow, they are unlikely to be disappointed.

Russian authorities’ interrogation of the suspects appears to have been particularly brutal.

A man suspected of taking part in the attack sits inside the defendant cage as he waits for his pre-trial detention hearing.

Videos circulating of their interrogations suggest that the men were tortured; one of the videos appears to show members of the security forces cutting off the ear of a suspect and then stuffing it into his mouth.

In court, all of the suspects appeared heavily bruised with swollen faces. One of them was brought to court directly from hospital in a wheelchair. He was attended by medics and was seen with multiple cuts.

Putin has vowed to punish those behind the “barbaric terrorist attack” – and Muslim minorities in Russia are likely to face a wave of repression.

In the Russian ruler’s only public remarks on the massacre he made no reference to IS’s claims of responsibility.

Instead, despite IS claiming the attack and releasing footage to corroborate those claims, Russia has still sought to place some blame on Ukraine.

On Saturday, Putin claimed without evidence that the four arrested gunmen planned to flee to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has said Putin and others close to him are seeking to divert the blame from Russian intelligence failings.

The US has said it received intelligence that ISKP acted alone.

Will the death toll rise?

As of the Monday after the attack, emergency workers said they were continuing to search for anyone who may be left wounded or dead inside the severely damaged concert hall. The death toll rose multiple times over the weekend as more bodies were found.

Many families were left not knowing if relatives present at the concert hall on Friday night were alive. Igor Pogadaev told the AP news agency that he was desperately seeking any details of his wife’s whereabouts after she went to the concert and stopped responding to his messages. Pogodaev said he scoured hospitals in the Russian capital and the broader Moscow region, looking for information on newly admitted patients. But his wife was not among those reported injured or on the list of victims identified so far, he said. Moscow’s health department said on Sunday it had begun using DNA testing to identify the bodies of those killed, a process that would take at least two weeks.

It wasn’t just his play that captured the attention of Jim Nagy, Executive Director Reese’s Senior Bowl. Nagy praised Carter’s character and said Carter might be President of the United States someday.

Disruptive penetrator. Can win right away. Good motor. Off-charts personal and football character. Might be POTUS someday. — Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) April 27, 2024

Good bloodlines

Carter comes from good bloodlines. His father played college football at Ohio State University and was a three-year letterman with the Buckeyes. DeWayne’s uncle, Raymond Carter, was a running back at the University of Notre Dame and his grandfather played football and track and field at Youngstown State University.

Minored in theater at Duke

Carter graduated with a psychology degree at Duke in May of 2023 and minored in theater. At the Senior Bowl, he explained why he chose theater for his minor to Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News .

I talked to DT DeWayne Carter at the Senior Bowl. Why did he minor in theater? “It was for me to branch out and use college for everything it had,” Carter said. “I figured it would help with interviews and being in front of a camera.” — Mark Gaughan (@gggaughan) April 27, 2024

Phil Collins gets him amped up for games

In an interview with Justin Melo of “The Draft Network,” Carter revealed that his go-to song on his pre-game playlist was Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.”

“I listen to “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. You can never go wrong with that song before a big-time game. I always have that song playing. I listen to a lot of Lil’ Boosie, he’s a rapper from Louisiana. He gets me ready to go before a game. It doesn’t take much for me.”

Texas Tech Now

Texas tech director inducted into college of fellows of the american theatre.

April 26, 2024

Mark Charney has served as the Director of the School of Theatre & Dance for 11 years.

Mark Charney , the Director of the School of Theatre & Dance in the J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts at Texas Tech University , was inducted as part of the 2024 class into the College of Fellows of the American Theatre on April 21 at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

Charney, an award-winning playwright, has served as director since 2012 and has since had numerous works performed all around the world.

Charney said his induction was “humbling and exciting, especially to be celebrated by some of the best scholars, performers and theater practitioners in the world. Much of the event was hosted by Phyllis ‘Phylicia' Rashad, and to be honored in this way, this lifetime achievement award, for which you must be nominated and voted upon unanimously by existing fellows, exceeded all expectations.”

After retiring as professor emeritus from his alma mater, Clemson University, Charney joined the faculty at Texas Tech. He has served as past chair for Region IV, part member of the National Selection Team and as National Coordinator of the Institute for Theatre Journalism and Advocacy/Dramaturgy for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. He most recently served as the Associate Director of the National Critics Institute for the O'Neill Theatre Center for 19 years.

His award-winning works include “The Power Behind the Palette,” which won the David Mark Cohen Award. His play “Shooting Blanks” was featured at the Prague Fringe Festival that same year in 2016. Along with collaborator Cory Norman, their play, “Empty Roads with Cars,” was produced at the International Festival in Turkey in 2021, and their commissioned work about Jack Kevorkian, “If Christ was Born in a Barn, Dyin' in a Van Ain't so Bad,” was developed in London in 2021-22 and is being considered for a London premiere.

He is an honorary inductee of the Actors Hall of Fame based on his work with criticism and dramaturgy, and he served six years on the National Board of the National Association of Schools of Theatre and Artistic Director of the International Association of Schools of Southeast Asia.

“Dr. Charney's induction is a testament to his long career in theater, and to his quality as an educator,” said Martin Camacho, dean of the college. “TCVPA is honored to have a person of such distinction among our faculty.”

The College of Fellows of the American Theatre is composed of actors, critics, designers, playwrights, producers, program administrators, distinguished teachers and scholars. It works to promote and encourage the highest standards of research, writing and creativity in educational and professional theatre by honoring the service and accomplishments of nationally recognized individuals.
