Choose TWO letters, A-E.
Which TWO pieces of advice does the speaker give about paint?
A Don’t buy expensive paint.
B Test the colour before buying a lot.
C Choose a light colour.
D Use water-based paint.
E Buy enough paint for more than one application. [br]
Another way of avoiding paint wastage is to check you’re completely happy with your colour choice before starting to paint. For example,
you can get a small sample of the colour you’re thinking of using,
then paint a board and move it around the room, so you can see how it looks against your furnishings, and in different lights. Also, it’s always better to buy high-quality paints, because you get what you pay for. If you buy cheap paint you might need to apply two or three coats to achieve the same coverage that you’d get from one coat of a good-quality paint. You could also spend a week on a job that could have been done in a day or two. And consider the environment.
Most paint manufacturers now sell water-based paints that don’t contain harmful chemicals or give off harmful odours, so get one of these.
You can also buy paint that’s packaged in recyclable containers. There’s a lot more choice than there used to be.
You can only do a good job, which will last, if you prepare the surfaces thoroughly before painting. In fact, in many ways if you want to do a professional-looking job, this is more important than the painting itself. If there are any cracks or patches of loose plaster, painting over them won’t solve the problem.
Take the plaster out and fill the holes,
allowing enough time for the new plaster to dry. And you won’t get a smooth finish if the walls are dusty or greasy,
so washing with water isn’t enough. Use a solution of decorator’s soap
and rinse well with warm water afterwards.
When you’re ready to paint, we suggest you use a medium-pile roller for walls and ceilings. A lot of people tend to use short-pile rollers, but these give a patchy finish, and that wastes paint and time. Similarly, long-pile rollers can create a thick, textured effect, which looks messy. The same goes for brushes. The stronger the bristles, the easier they are to wash and reuse. And as you’ve chosen a water-based paint,
clean your brushes with cold water, because it’s more energy-efficient that way.
As you’re decorating, keep transferring small amounts of paint into a tray and keep topping it up when you need to. This reduces the chance of it being contaminated by dust and pieces of dirt... And finally, water-based paint doesn’t have a lingering smell, so that’s not an issue any more, but it’s airflow rather than heat that helps the paint dry quicker, so to help finish the job
in the quickest time leave your doors and windows open.
The faster the paint is dry and the job finished, the quicker you can start enjoying your room! In tomorrow’s programme, I’ll be giving some advice...

解析
本题有关演讲者就油漆给出的建议。录音原文中的get a small sample是选项test the color的同义替换;so get one of these是use water-based paint的同义替换。
