Question 21

Woman: I've found it. Shall I colour the small model boat on the stool as well?

Question 22
Examiner: To the right of the window, something with three sides is standing on the counter.

Question 25
Examiner: We can finish with the clock high on the wall.

Learning review – listen for the important details
Explore the museum picture before listening. Identify a child by the action first, then check clothes and position. In the club form, write only the requested word or number, and check spelled names letter by letter. For the week of activities, connect each day with what Charlie did and use each day once. In the short conversations, wait for the final choice; an early suggestion can change. For colouring, find the exact object before choosing a colour. Question 21 needs two objects for one mark; use the small model boat on the stool and leave the large display ship 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.
