Part 5: Daily Activities
You will hear a boy talking to his mum about the things he is going to do next week. What is he going to do each day? For each question, choose the correct answer, A to F.
You now have 15 seconds to look at Part Five.
Boy Yes, quite a busy week for me. On Monday, I have to pay for my school trip. If I don’t pay, I won’t be able to go. Did you get an email about that?
Mum Yes, I did. I’ll give you the money tomorrow before you go to school. What about on Tuesday?
Boy On Tuesday, I have a basketball game after school, so you need to pick me up from school at four-thirty.
Mum OK. I’ll do that. Do you have swimming on Wednesday?
Boy No, they are cleaning the pool, so we’re going to work out in the gym instead.
Mum What about on Thursday? Are you still going to the library with Amy?
Boy Yes, we are. We were thinking of changing it to Friday, but decided not to change the day as we have to do some research for our science project.
Mum That’s a good idea, as I want to take you shopping on Friday, as you need to buy some new trainers for the race on Sunday.
Boy Oh yeah! I nearly forgot about that, so I’m shopping on Friday.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part Five.
