ELTIS Listening to Announcements and Instructions Practice Test 10 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: You hear: 'This is a reminder that the dress code will be strictly enforced starting Monday. Students wearing clothing with inappropriate language or images will be sent to the office to change. Please review the dress code in your student handbook.' What happens if you violate the dress code?
- You get a warning.
- You are sent to the office to change clothes. (Correct answer)
- Nothing happens on the first offense.
- You are sent home.
Correct answer: You are sent to the office to change clothes.
The announcement states: 'Students wearing clothing with inappropriate language or images will be sent to the office to change.' This means students violating the dress code must change their clothes before returning to class. The announcement encourages reviewing the rules in advance to avoid this situation.
Question 2: A teacher says: 'For the book report, you may choose any fiction book that is at least 200 pages long. Graphic novels and comic books do not count. Your report should include a summary, your opinion, and a recommendation.' What types of books are NOT allowed?
- Fiction books.
- Nonfiction books.
- Graphic novels and comic books. (Correct answer)
- Mystery books.
Correct answer: Graphic novels and comic books.
The teacher specifies: 'Graphic novels and comic books do not count.' While these are valid forms of literature, the assignment requires a traditional fiction book of at least 200 pages. This ensures students engage with longer-form reading and develop sustained reading comprehension skills.
Question 3: You hear: 'The cafeteria is now offering a salad bar option for lunch. It costs the same as a regular hot lunch — $3.50. Students with free or reduced lunch can use the salad bar at no extra cost.' How much does the salad bar cost?
- It's free for everyone.
- $2.50.
- $3.50. (Correct answer)
- $5.00.
Correct answer: $3.50.
The announcement states the salad bar 'costs the same as a regular hot lunch — $3.50.' Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch can use it at no extra cost, which means it is included in their lunch benefit. This provides a healthy alternative at the same price point.
Question 4: A teacher says: 'We have a guest speaker coming today to talk about career options in science. Please be respectful and have at least two questions prepared to ask. The presentation will last about 30 minutes.' How long will the presentation last?
- About 15 minutes.
- About 30 minutes. (Correct answer)
- About 45 minutes.
- The entire class period.
Correct answer: About 30 minutes.
The teacher states: 'The presentation will last about 30 minutes.' Knowing the duration helps students plan their attention and prepare appropriately. Having at least two questions ready shows engagement and respect for the guest speaker's time and expertise.
Question 5: You hear: 'Attention parents. Parent-teacher conferences will be held next Thursday from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. Appointments can be made online through the school portal or by calling the school office. Walk-ins are also welcome.' What are the three ways to schedule a conference?
- Phone, email, and mail.
- Online, by phone, or walk-in. (Correct answer)
- Only by phone.
- Only online.
Correct answer: Online, by phone, or walk-in.
The announcement lists three ways to attend: 'online through the school portal,' 'by calling the school office,' and 'walk-ins are also welcome.' Providing multiple options makes it easier for all families to participate, regardless of their schedule or technology access.
Question 6: A teacher says: 'I will accept late work up to three days after the due date, but you will lose 10% for each day it is late. After three days, I will not accept it at all.' How many points would you lose for turning in work two days late?
- 10%.
- 20%. (Correct answer)
- 30%.
- 50%.
Correct answer: 20%.
The teacher says students 'will lose 10% for each day it is late.' If work is two days late, that is 10% + 10% = 20% penalty. Understanding late work policies helps students make decisions about turning in imperfect work on time versus completing it later with a penalty.
