Cambridge IELTS 19 Academic Listening Test 3 (Questions 07-10)

LEON: So what do you need to get at the fish market? The salmon is always very good and the shellfish.
SHANNON: I’m going to make a curry, I think, and I need about 12 prawns for that.
LEON: They’ll have plenty of those.

SHANNON: OK.
LEON: Have you ever tried samphire?
SHANNON: No – what’s that?
LEON: It’s a type of seaweed. I just ask for a handful and you fry it in butter. It’s delicious!
SHANNON: Oh, I might try that- how do you spell it?
LEON: It’s S-A-M-P-H-l-R-E.
SHANNON: Great – it’s always good to try something different.
LEON: Yeah.
SHANNON: I’ll see what beans they have in the organic shop and I think I’ll get something for dessert there.
LEON: How about a mango?
SHANNON: I’m not sure- they’re not always ripe. I’d prefer a melon- it’s bigger too.
LEON: Good idea. The owner also sells a lot of spices there that you can put in a curry, and things like coconut.
SHANNON: Oh, that’s very helpful. I’ll have a look.
LEON: No problem.
SHANNON: I know bread doesn’t really go with curry but I always like to have some in case.
LEON: As I said – all the bread is home-made and there’s lots of variety. I like the brown bread myself.
SHANNON: Mm, sounds good.

LEON: They sell other things there too.
SHANNON: Like cakes? I love chocolate cake.
LEON: Well – not that, but they have a whole range of tarts and the best are the strawberry ones.
SHANNON: Perfect – hopefully I won t even have to go to the supermarket!
