You will hear a girl talking to her mum about a picture she coloured.
N: Part 5. Listen and look. There is one example.
A: Mum, thanks for this great picture of a boy visiting the pyramids.
B: Wow! Have you finished colouring it? What did you colour first?
A: I coloured the smallest pyramid yellow.
B: You did a great job.
N: Can you see the number and the colour? This is an example. Now you listen and write the colour or word next to the number.
B: What did you colour next, then?
A: Let me see. It was the flag behind the boy. The small one was already grey, so I coloured the large one green.
B: Those flags look great now.
A: Mum, look, I also put some words on the picture.
B: Yes, Sally. Did you write a word on that yellow pyramid?
A: Yeah, right. The very large one.
B: So you put the word ‘large’ on that pyramid?
A: That’s right. So, Mum, can you see I put some more words somewhere else in the picture?
B: I can see, Sally, but let’s talk about the other things you coloured. Did you colour the man riding the camel?
A: Yeah, I did. I coloured his hat pink.
B: Nice choice.
A: Mum, can you see another word in the picture?
B: Yes, is it the little boy at the front of the picture with the toy cars? He’s got a T-shirt with words on it, but what word did you write?
A: I wrote the word ‘cars’ on it, as it already had the words ‘I love’ on his T-shirt.
B: Another great choice, as he is playing with his cars.
A: And for the last thing, I coloured one of the goats.
B: Yeah, but which one? Do you mean the one next to the camel?
A: No, I don’t mean that one. I added colour to the one in front of the flags.
B: What colour did you use?
A: I only had one colour left, so I put grey on the goat. The picture looks great now, doesn’t it?
B: Yes, it does. You’ve done a brilliant job.
A: Thanks so much, Mum.
N: Now listen to Part 5 again.
N: That is the end of Part 5.
