Listening Texts

Unit 8A. Listen to Rania Yusuf talking about a project in her community. Then

choose the correct answers:As a doctor, I want the best health care for everyone, and the problem is that we don’t have a local health centre right here in our community. So I say this: if we spent the money on a health centre, people here would be much healthier. You see, it’s so important to be close to medical help when it is needed quickly. And, of course, if we built a new health centre, people could get medical help faster than now.

B. Listen and number the school projects in the order you hear

The school head teacher wants students to help choose a special project for their school.

Student 1: If we spend the money on a mini-bus, students will come early to school.

Student 2: I think if we built a new sports hall student would practice different games freely.

Student 3: If we had a new library, students would be able to borrow books to get the information they need.

27

Student 4: I think if we developed a computer room students , it will help students in their studies.

C. Listen and then add notes to complete the following

Situation 1:

Teacher: Imagine you lost your purse somewhere in the town.

Ahmad: If that happened, I would go back and look for it.

Situation 2:

Teacher: Your friend felt sick.

Noha: If that happened, I would call the first aid.

Situation 3:

Teacher: Imagine that you won a lot of money.

Mohammed : I would help the poor.

D. Listen and mark the statements true ( ) or false ( ):

On Monday, there was a meeting at our community hall to discuss the money that we might get from the government to pay for a special community project. We agreed that if we won the money, we would like to use it for a new sports centre.

Unit 9

Listen then tick the correct answers

A lot of adults think that young people don’t care about other people, but that really isn’t correct. To start with, think back to last week, when we met Sameera from Palestine. Lots of young people are like her. They look after people at home. They help people in their families who are sick or disabled. But a lot more young people volunteer to help others in the wider community. They want to do something extra, something more than just thinking about themselves all the time. Take Tom from Britain, for example. He’s a local community volunteer, and he does local community projects.He’s going to talk about a project to help build a new playground with lots of play equipment at a local school. Then we’ll be listening to Rosa from Brazil. She’s going to talk about voluntary work at her local library with a reading group for young children.

Unit 10

28

You will hear Jim talking about the photo of his father's boat, listen and complete the questions given.

The photo shows the winter when we were making big changes. We were cleaning the bottom of the boat. We were also painting the sides of the boat. At the same time, we were taking out the old engines. We were buying some new engines to put into the boat instead. We were also adding some new equipment to help look for fish.

Unit 11Listen and complete the table with words from the box:

By the middle of April we’re going to repair the fence and build the new paths. We’re also planning to clean up the site and get rid of the rubbish. Then we’re going to construct the play area, put up the play equipment, prepare the ground for planting and plant the trees and flowers. Then, by the middle of June, if all goes well, it should look like this.

Unit 121. Listen and circle the correct Answer:

Lisa was depressed because the weather was bad, so Lana talked about spring to cheer her up, and suddenly Lisa was in a much better mood.

2. Write down what you hear. Tom was given advice not to ‘explode’ or do anything selfish or dramatic, and to be more positive in order to get more attention from his parents.
