TEST 001
I am going to give you the instructions for this test.
I shall introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.
At the start of each piece you will hear this sound:

You will hear each piece twice.
Remember, while you are listening, write your answers on the question paper. You will
have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer
sheet.
There will now be a pause. Please ask any questions now, because you must not speak
during the test.

F:
In
January this year, I was accepted onto a photography training scheme with a
professional photographer I know. He gave me
a two-day studio masterclass, and I’ve
already assisted him on photo shoots with some quite famous people, and used some
really expensive equipment. I’ve learnt so much from
him and my portfolio is now
bulging with images I’ve taken. I could’ve done a course at university but you have to do
work experience like this after graduating anyway, so I feel I’m
ahead of my
contemporaries - and I’ve avoided spending a lot of money by not being a student too.
