Narrator: Question 1. You hear two students talking about revising for their exams. What does the woman say about revising in the library? Man: Are you coming to the library again tomorrow? I'm going to get there early. Woman: I don't think so. I've been going every day this week, but honestly, I'm not getting much done. Man: Really? It's so quiet on the top floor. Woman: Oh, it's quiet enough, and there are always plenty of free desks. The trouble is, I end up reading one chapter all morning, because there's nothing telling me when to move on. At home I've got a timetable on the wall and I stick to it: history until lunch, then maths. In the library I just lose track of the day. Man: Maybe you need to take the timetable with you!
