Mock test 1 · listening part 1

Number 1. Where did Tom leave his phone?

Tom, are you looking for something again?

My phone. I had it this morning in the car, I'm sure, because I called Dad on the way home.

Did you check the kitchen table? You always put everything there.

I did. And it's not in the bathroom either. I took a shower, but I didn't take it with me.

What about your jacket? You were wearing it in the car.

My jacket... it's on the hook by the door. Oh, here it is, in the pocket! Thanks, Mom.

Number 2. What will the weather be like on Saturday?

And now the weekend weather for the Denver area. Friday will start with some light snow in the mountains, but in the city it will just be cold and gray. On Saturday the snow will be gone, but don't plan a picnic: strong winds are coming from the west, and the sky will stay cloudy all day, although it won't rain. The good news is that on Sunday the sun will come out and temperatures will climb to sixty degrees.

Number 3. Which present does Kate finally buy for her brother?

I need a birthday present for my brother. He loves video games, but Mom says he already plays too much.

What about headphones? I saw some nice ones on sale.

He got new headphones last Christmas. I was thinking of a baseball cap, his old one is falling apart.

Hmm, he lost three caps last summer. Does he read?

Actually, yes. He's into science fiction now. Okay, I'll get him the new book by his favorite author. That's it, decision made.

Number 4. How is Mr. Lopez going to get to the airport?

Mr. Lopez, your flight leaves at six. How are you getting to the airport? The airport bus stops right in front of the hotel.

I know, but it takes almost two hours, and I have a meeting until three.

There's also a fast train from the main station.

My daughter wanted to drive me, but she can't leave work early. So I'll just take a cab. Could you call one for half past three, please?

Of course, sir.
