Listen and colour
Listen and colour the picture. There is one example.
Example: the balloon tied to the fence is blue. Choose a colour, then choose an area in the picture. Follow the colours in each instruction.
Completed picture – colour answer key
Example
Examiner: Our last picture shows the shed in the community garden. There is a balloon on the fence.
Woman: I can see the string tied to a wooden post.
Examiner: We have already made that balloon blue. That is your example.
Woman: Yes, the blue balloon is easy to find. What shall I colour next?
Question 21
Examiner: Start beside the tap. There are two things we use to carry water.
Woman: The watering can and the little bucket? They are next to each other.
Examiner: That is right. Make the watering can green, and give the bucket an orange colour.
Woman: I will use green for the can, then orange for the bucket. Both need a colour.
Question 22
Examiner: Look below the wooden bench. Someone has left a ball there.
Woman: It is round, underneath the seat.
Examiner: Use red for that ball. Keep the bench itself white.
Woman: All right. I will colour just the ball below it red.
Question 23
Examiner: Someone has hung their cooking clothes outside. Can you find the apron?
Woman: Yes, it is hanging on the fence near the balloon.
Examiner: Make the apron purple. Please leave the wooden fence white.
Woman: I have my purple pencil ready for the apron.
Question 24
Examiner: There is a closed picnic box on the low table. Have you found it?
Woman: Yes. I can see its lid and the handle on top.
Examiner: Colour the whole picnic box brown, including the lid. The table stays white.
Woman: Brown for the box and its lid. I will be careful round the handle.
Question 25
Examiner: Now find the large door at the front of the shed.
Woman: Do you mean the door below the roof, beside the window?
Examiner: Yes. Use yellow for the door, and leave its little handle white.
Woman: That will look bright. The shed door is the last thing I need to colour.

Learning review – listen for the important details
Start with the community garden picture: notice what each child is doing, and use the clothes as a second clue. For Lucy’s cooking club form, listen to every letter in the family name and distinguish her school time from the club time. In Charlie’s week, Saturday is the planting example; use five different days for the remaining activities and leave one day unused. Compare the three pictures before each short conversation and wait for the final answer. At the garden shed, locate the whole object before choosing a colour. Question 21 earns one mark only when both the watering can and the bucket have the correct colours.
Show Answer and transcripts help you study; they do not fill your answers or award marks. You can change an answer and submit again. For colouring questions, choose a colour and click the matching object in the picture. Each instruction states the required colour.
