Mark: Well, Kate, there are many different services gyms can offer Do you want a posers paradise in which to show off your muscles? Do you want a gym that hosts varied classes, such as aerobics and yoga? Are you looking for one that has a vibrant social scene? Or you want to keep your head down and just get on with losing some weight in peace? Perhaps you want staff to provide you with motivation and encouragement? All of these questions must be answered by your initial research If you end up in the wrong kind of gym, you will lose motivation very quickly indeed and simply stop going and all your money and effort will go down the drain Presenter: I see So what are the things I should be looking out for? Mark: Well, before calling in on a gym, ring to see if you can book a good time for a walkround with one of the instructors Gyms are normally busiest between 5pm and 7pm on weekdays Although you want to see the gym in action at a time when you might be attending, you will want to first view all the facilities without sweaty people constantly pushing past you Also have a quick look at the car park to see how busy it is before stepping through the doors Notice the general atmosphere of the gym Do the instructors look extremely busy? Is there loud music playing? Does it smell fresh or stale? In a nutshell, is it the kind of place you want to visit regularly? Presenter: I see So suppose I've found my kind of gym - now it's time to join? Mark: Not just yet - there are a few things to talk about with them You will probably already know what the monthly cost of being a member is, but what does that include? Does it include everything, or are services such as yoga classes and personal trainers going to cost more? Do you get a fresh towel each time you go or will that cost extra? Are lockers in the changing rooms free or are you going to have to remember to bring loose change every time you exercise? Presenter: Right What if I have to sign a contract? Mark: It is best to take home any contract that you may have to sign and go through it carefully, looking for what happens if you leave or if the gym goes bust or moves Be suspicious of a gym that is reluctant to let you take away a contract to look over and distrust it even more if it is determined to secure your signature on your first visit And avoid "life memberships" You might move town at some point or, at least, want to change your gym Presenter: Wow All these things to think about I think most people are a bit uncertain about joining when they think it's simple After today they may decide not to bother at all Mark: {laughs} It's not that bad, really You know, joining a gym is a lifestyle change If you it right it can make a great difference —you'll be healthier and happier every day So don't let small difficulties discourage you — it's really worth it Go for it, just make sure your gym is a place where you want to be, and not a place you'll never want to see again after a few visits Answers: B A C B B A C II You will hear part of a radio talk about how to choose houseplants For questions 8-1, complete the sentences that summarize what the speaker says with NO MORE THAN THREE words You will hear the recording twice Write your answer in the box provided (16 points) Announcer: … And now David Lynch, of the Royal Agricultural College, gives us some advice on what to look out for when buying houseplants David: Er well, before buying a plant you have to ask yourself where you're going to put the thing Deciding on the location is influenced by such things as light and shade So, first of all, does the place get sufficient sunlight? And secondly, I want a fast or a slow growing plant? After you've answered these questions, you're now ready to buy a plant of your choice You have to be extremely choosy when selecting your plant Look for a garden centre that has sufficient stock you can choose from Be absolutely sure that the plants have received proper care at the garden centre you are buying your plants from It's not only the plant that you're buying that should be healthy, but all the plants at the centre should be in good condition And if they're not, then it's a good indication that they are not very trustworthy Obviously plants can suffer from a number of different diseases and pests And for this reason it's important to select a plant that has healthy green leaves and stems The edges of the leaves shouldn't be brown and the plant should be the size that you want If you buy a smaller plant, remember that plants don't grow overnight — you could end up being disappointed; the plant may not grow at the rate you expect it to It could take months or even years, depending upon the type of plant, for the plant to reach the height of your liking In addition to this, a well-established mature plant can adjust to a new environment better than a young plant so it might pay you to buy a larger plant even though it might be more expensive Select a plant that has established itself well in the pot Don't get one that's recently been put in a pot because there's a danger that the plant may not well when you take it home Some garden centres sell plants in plastic bags This is done to cut down on costs But I would advise people against buying plants in plastic bags unless you want to plant them in the ground It's better to buy the plants that are already planted in pots And remember to choose a plant that's been grown in the shade It'll adapt to being kept indoors faster than a plant that's been grown outside And last but not least, remember to inspect the plant very carefully, especially under the leaves and leaf joints, for any unwanted insects or diseases Answers: location sunlight 10 very trustworthy 11 leaves and stems 12 more expensive 13 in pots 14 plastic bags 15.insects or diseases III Listen to the conversation and decide if each statement is True (T) or False (F) (10 points) I: Interviewer M: Marilena J: Jill Marilena talks about her sister in England and her nephews and nieces I: OK Um, your mum and dad, are they still alive?
