Five Topics Set 1

Part 4: Five Topics Set 1

For each question, choose the correct answer.

One. You will hear a teacher talking about a trip. What has changed?

Teacher Right. You know the beach clean-up is next Wednesday, and you have to be at school at eight o’clock because the bus leaves at eight-thirty. The bus can’t leave any later because there will be heavy traffic. I’d asked you all to bring some money for lunch, but a local restaurant has offered to give us lunch for free, so you don’t need any money for that. But make sure you bring some water with you.

Two. You will hear two students talking about a problem. What lesson did he text in on his phone?

Boy 1 Why didn’t you call me to say you’d be late?

Boy 2 Sorry, I was trying to text you in class, but my science teacher saw me, and took it and put it in her drawer. I couldn’t get it back until after lunch.

Boy 1 Oh dear! Are you going home for lunch?

Boy 2 Yes, I need to get my computer, as I have to use it in English for the last lesson.

Boy 1 You can borrow mine if you want. I have art in the afternoon, so I don’t need it.

Three. You will hear a woman talking about buying some boots. Why did she buy the boots?

Girl I got some new boots at the weekend. They’re the same as the ones in that music video we were watching the other day. I was surprised that they weren’t that expensive, but they are a bit uncomfortable, but they are in fashion at the moment, so I don’t mind wearing them when we go out together.

Four. You hear a boy talking about playing basketball. How did he feel after playing basketball?

Boy You’d never guess what happened during my basketball game. There was this boy on the team, and for some reason, he would never pass to me. I passed to him a lot, but every time he got the ball, he would shoot and miss. I normally feel tired after a game, but I was so mad that I didn’t want to have my dinner.

Five. You hear two classmates together. How did Emma come to school?

Harry Emma, you’re at school early today. Did your dad bring you by car?

Emma Actually, it was such a lovely day that I rode my bike to school.

Harry You’re lucky. I had to take the bus, and it was so crowded that I nearly got off and walked to school.

Emma For me, I live too far from school, so it would take too long to walk to school.
