Question 17
Woman: There is rice left from yesterday. Would you like some for lunch?

Learning review – listen for the important details
Before listening, find each child and notice the different activities at the arts centre. In Emma’s puppet-club form, listen for the spelling, the club day and the start time. For Harry’s week, match each activity to one day; Saturday is the comic-drawing example. In the short conversations, compare the three pictures and listen for changes or corrections. For the colouring task, locate the object first and then choose its colour. Question 21 earns one mark when both the kite and bucket have their 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.
