Test 7A/7B – Listening

Mary: Grandad, this old photography exhibition is very interesting. Look! This picture is from the 1900s. Does that building still exist today?

Mary: I see … Grandad, was Manchester very different when you were young?

Grandad: Yes, a lot of things have changed. But it has never stopped being an interesting city to live in! Mary: Really? What was different back then? Grandad: First of all, a lot of people worked in the mines. It was really hard work and very dangerous. And back then, Manchester wasn’t as beautiful as it is now. Market Street, for example, was busy with people doing their shopping, but it didn’t have as many nice buildings as it does today.

Mary: Oh, yes. Those modern glass buildings are very beautiful, but I like old buildings like the Portico Library.

Grandad: Oh … the Library … It had so many visitors back then.

Mary: It’s still the same! A lot of people visit the Portico Library today, even though they’ve got televisions and the Internet.
