Learning review – listen for the important details
Before listening, find all seven children at the boat club. Use both their clothes and what they are doing. In Mia’s form, listen carefully to the family-name spelling, phone digits and corrected time. In Leo’s week, Saturday is the boat-washing example; match each remaining picture to a different day. For the short conversations, compare all three pictures and wait for the final choice. At the beach hut, find the requested object before colouring. Only the large sail on the left is yellow; the smaller sail stays white.
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.
