Ex. listening: Listen to six short conversations. What sport are they talking about?

Ad. 1 → B
Man: Come on, are you ready to go? We've booked the court from four o’clock.
Woman: I can’t find my racket.
Man: I’ve got your racket.
Woman: What about the shuttlecocks?
Man: I don’t have those, but we can buy some at the sports centre.
Woman: Alright then. Come on.
Ad. 2 → A
Woman: What’s the score?
Man: 2-1 to France, but we could draw level, if we’re lucky, in a second.
Woman: Oh, have we got a penalty?
Man: Yes, and he’s taking it now. Oh no, idiot – he kicked it right over the bar. Oh
well, never mind. There’s still 25 minutes to go. There’s still time to score.
Ad. 3 → C
Woman: Is that our guy on the board now?
Man: Yes, that’s him, getting ready to jump – there he goes!
Woman: Wow! How many times did he spin round?
Man: Three and a half. And there was barely a splash when he went in. That one
must score at least nine. Yeah – there it is, nine from three judges. That will put us
into second place.
Ad. 4 → A
Woman: I don’t know what Jess sees in it.
Man: I know what you mean. Running up and down a pitch chasing a ball with a stick
doesn’t sound like my idea of fun at all.
Woman: But she’s pretty good. She scored two goals at her match last week,
apparently.
Man: Did she? Good for her.
Ad. 5 → B
Woman: That’s our guy, in lane 4. His name’s Richard King.
Man: Okay, in the blue shorts?
Woman: Yes, that’s him. He was junior European champion last year, so he should do
quite well.
Man: And how many laps of the track will they do?
Woman: Just one. Okay, they’re getting into the starting blocks now.
Ad. 6 → C
Man: I can’t believe it! How come you keep getting strikes, when my balls just roll off
to the side?
Woman: I think you’re holding the ball wrong. You need to roll it in a straight line.
Man: That’s what I’m doing – or at least what I’m trying to do, but I hardly ever knock
any pins over.
Woman: Here, I’ll show you. You have to keep your wrist straight, like this.
