For each extract there are two tasks. For Task One, choose the person who is speaking from the list A-H. For Task Two, choose the opinion that person expresses from the list A-H. You will hear the recording twice. You now have 30 seconds to read the two lists.
[pause]
Now listen, and do the two tasks.

Speaker 1
Man: Well, I guess it’s all for the best in the long run. I mean it’s never been easy with all of us spread out over the city. And then there is the difference in phone lines. Half the time when I’m answering calls they come to the wrong branch. Then that’s the students. I mean half of them have never been in the city, or even this country before. It’s no wonder they are late. They don’t know how to find their way round. But this way when all the changes were over and we’ve settled down in the new building, we’ll be easier to get to. So I reckon they will get there more promptly and they won’t have any excuse any more for coming in late or missing lectures.
Speaker 2
Woman: I think it all depends where you are sitting, where you are looking from. Overall, I’m convinced that it will work out well. It’s the right decision. I’d have done the same thing. I’m really convinced a large number of students are going to be delighted. They will see the benefits immediately. OK, yes, I am anticipating some complaints. With our people of this nature I think that’s inevitable. But the majority will welcome it. I’ve explained it to all my lecturers. They understand it, accept it. It also means I can organise the timetables better, so they will do their teaching over a shorter day. So that’s obviously a benefit. I’m sure the rest of the staff will feel the same.
Speaker 3
Man: In the early days I had to take premises all over the place, anywhere I could get them just to get the business off the ground. But over the years I’ve always looked for the opportunity to get everyone together on one site. When all this is over, we look better and we will perform better. I know it means that we are going to attract more businesses. And another thing, we suppose to keep all the records on the data-base, but half the time the various PCs aren’t working or the network is down or something. That can surely only get better. Personally, I can’t wait.
Speaker 4
Woman: I can’t say I really understand why they are doing it. I mean it’s all the building, all the equipment. You know, it seems so organised, as it is. It’s got to be money, hasn’t it? That’s where we are always here in the lectures, keep costs under control. Of course, lots of us are late for class sometimes. And I know that’s bad, and embarrassing. Walking in when everyone else was already in their place and it’s all started ages ago. But I do think it’s a bit worrying, that will surely mean some of us are going to lose out. I mean they wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t reckon I could save some salaries, would they?
Speaker 5
Man: I wish them luck. That’s the main thing I say. I think they are a national organisation, very well-run. The students are always happy, more than satisfying. I just think it’s beyond my imagination what you will have to do. I mean you think of all the different branches, all the things, all the procedures. Can you imagine what all the changing will involve? Anyway, I suppose the bottom line is as long as they keep their external relations as efficient as they have always been. There is no problem. At the end of the day I’ve won my percentage. It’s up to them to sort out the move.
