    In the Listening test, in what order do the answers usually come?
    Antwort anzeigen

    The instructions say ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER. You hear "the twenty-third of May". Which answer follows the limit?
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: 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.

    Tutor: So, how is your survey on campus recycling going?

    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.

    Kein Ton? Lesen Sie den Text

    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.
