Scripts – Test 1 Part 3
Questions 9–12
Boy: Excuse me, Miss Allen. May I speak to you for a minute?
Woman: Sure, go ahead. I have a few minutes before class starts. What’s on your mind?
Boy: I’m a bit confused about the reading assignment. I thought we were supposed to read chapter 4, but my friend said it was chapter 5.
Woman: Actually, it’s chapter 5. I mentioned the change at the end of yesterday’s lesson. We’ll be discussing it in class today.
Boy: Oh, I must’ve missed that part. I’ll read it during lunch so I’m ready.
Woman: Good idea. Let me know if you have any questions afterward.
Questions 13–16
Man: Hey, you look like you know your way around. Are you a first-year too?
Woman: No, I’m in my last year. I’m majoring in Environmental Science. I’ll graduate this spring.
Man: Oh cool. I just transferred here and I’m planning to major in the same field. Can you tell me what courses I need to take?
Woman: Sure. You’ll need to complete ten courses in total. Three of them are required: “Introduction to Ecology,” “Environmental Policy,” and “Climate Science.” The rest are electives.
Man: I’m mostly interested in renewable energy. Do I still have to take all those required ones?
Woman: Yes, they’re part of the core curriculum. But you can choose all your electives in renewable energy if you want.
Man: That sounds fair. Thanks a lot!
Woman: No problem. Let me know if you need help finding the buildings.
Questions 17–20
Lizzie: So, have you come to a decision about taking up the keyboard or the drums? I have and I’ve bought a great keyboard!
Raphael: I’m still not 100% sure, to be honest. We’ve got a huge garage at home that’d be easy to soundproof, so my parents don’t think the noise will be a problem whether I go for a keyboard or drums.
Lizzie: Are they sure about that?
Raphael: Well, anyway, on keyboards and on an electronic drum kit there’s a knob to adjust the sound level. But the deciding factor might be that I’d struggle to take drums anywhere. I don’t have my own car. But going back to what I was saying, our garage would make a great rehearsal space for any instrument. Why don’t you come over to see it?
Lizzie: Sounds fantastic! Listen, if you went for the drums, we’d be able to practise together at your place. And my brother’s got a van, so if we got to the point where we played in a group, he’d be happy to give us and our kit a lift. What do you think?
Raphael: Oh, I don’t know. I want to make sure I decide what’s best for me because neither instrument’s cheap to buy.
