  5. Question 5 sur 17

    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Part 4

  6. Question 6 sur 17

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

    Réponse: 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: 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.

    Pas de son ? Lisez le texte

    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.
