Script:
Tam: Hi, this is Tam at the site of the second International Youth Music Festival. There are just two days to go before the festival opens on Sunday. As you can hear in the background it's very busy here. I'm with Jack, one of the festival organisers. So, Jack, how's it all going?
Jack: Hi, we're very busy. We're still setting up the main stage and there's still a lot to do, but we want to get it ready by tomorrow so that the bands can start to practise.
Tam: I heard that there are some changes to the festival this year. Can you tell us about them?
Jack: Well, last year the festival was on the beach and it was free of charge. We didn't know it would be so popular and we had problems with overcrowding. This year we have sold the tickets in advance so that we know how many people are coming. What's more important, we've decided to move the festival to this country park.

Task 2. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1.25 points)
Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but nowadays many people are reluctant to make such a move. They say that compared to suburban areas, city life has many drawbacks.
The high cost of living is the first disadvantage. The bigger the city is, the higher the living cost is. Accommodation and petrol are expensive. Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city people seem to suffer from more noise and air pollution. The densely populated neighborhoods, busy traffic, and big construction sites make cities noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people's health, such as increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them suffer from breathing problems.
Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in the city, so people tend to live in smaller houses or in apartment blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities; therefore, teenagers often hang out at shopping malls or in entertainment complexes instead of doing sports outdoors.
The cities' authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However, they still have a long way to go before they can reduce living costs and pollution, and increase green space to make all cities in the world more liveable places.

The high cost of living in cities.
