Listen first for the situation and purpose, then replay for specific evidence. Before choosing, predict whether the question needs a reason, action, place, day or duration. A number may be a starting time rather than a length of time; a place may be explicitly rejected. Use the whole sentence to decide. The complete original script is available through each listening button in the exercises, not printed as the answer beside the question.
Writing model, original:
I like living in my city because public transport connects my neighbourhood with the library and sports centre. I do not need a car for every journey. However, the streets near my school are crowded at rush hour. The noise makes it difficult to talk, and crossing the road can be stressful. I think a safe walking area would help. The more pupils walk or take a shared bus, the fewer cars will stop at the gate. Our plan should be tested before it is extended. I would also ask older residents whether the proposed change would meet their needs.
Plan a topic sentence, two supporting details, a reason or example and a closing. Use the grammar of this unit where it naturally fits. Check meaning first, then grammar and spelling; a longer paragraph is not automatically better.
Your task: Write a 90–110-word paragraph about what you like and dislike about city life. Explain one advantage, one problem and one realistic improvement.
