الإجابة: C. 23 May
"23 May" is one word and a number. The other answers add extra words such as "the", "of" or "on", so they break the limit and lose the mark.

الإجابة: A. 120
Maya says they planned to interview 200 students but only managed 120. The first number you hear is often not the answer.
النص المكتوب
Tutor: So, how is your survey on campus recycling going?
Maya: Well, we planned to interview two hundred students, but in the end we only managed a hundred and twenty.
Leo: The main problem was timing. We did it during exam week, so most people were too busy to stop.
Tutor: That's a fair point. And what did you find?
Maya: Most students told us they want to recycle, but they don't know which bins to use.
Leo: So in our report, we'll recommend clearer signs on the bins, rather than more bins. -

السؤال 16 من 17
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: C. Dark materials that absorb heat
The lecturer says "The first cause is building materials": dark roads and roofs absorb heat. The lack of plants is the second cause.
النص المكتوب
Lecturer: Today I want to explain why cities are often warmer than the countryside around them. This is called the urban heat island effect. The first cause is building materials: dark roads and roofs absorb heat during the day and release it slowly at night. The second cause is the lack of plants, because plants cool the air as water evaporates from their leaves. Interestingly, the difference in temperature is usually greatest at night, not in the middle of the day.
