ELTIS Listening to Announcements and Instructions Practice Test 11 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: You hear: 'The spring concert will be held in the auditorium on May 15 at 7:00 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Admission is free, but donations to the music department are appreciated.' When do the doors open?
- 6:00 PM.
- 6:30 PM. (Correct answer)
- 7:00 PM.
- 7:30 PM.
Correct answer: 6:30 PM.
The announcement states: 'Doors open at 6:30 PM.' This is 30 minutes before the concert begins at 7:00 PM. Arriving when doors open gives attendees time to find good seats and settle in. The concert is free, though donations are welcomed.
Question 2: A teacher says: 'For the science fair, your project must include a hypothesis, an experiment, data collection, and a conclusion. Display boards must be set up by 8 AM on the day of the fair. Late set-ups will not be allowed.' What time must display boards be ready?
- By 7 AM.
- By 8 AM. (Correct answer)
- By 9 AM.
- By noon.
Correct answer: By 8 AM.
The teacher states: 'Display boards must be set up by 8 AM on the day of the fair.' This is a firm deadline with 'no late set-ups allowed.' Students need to arrive early enough to have everything arranged and ready before the 8 AM cutoff time.
Question 3: You hear: 'The school nurse reminds all students taking daily medication that medications must be stored in the nurse's office, not in lockers or backpacks. Parents must provide written authorization for the nurse to administer medication.' Where must medications be stored?
- In the student's locker.
- In the student's backpack.
- In the nurse's office. (Correct answer)
- In the teacher's desk.
Correct answer: In the nurse's office.
The announcement states: 'Medications must be stored in the nurse's office, not in lockers or backpacks.' This is a safety policy ensuring medications are properly stored, tracked, and administered. Written parental authorization is also required, providing an extra layer of safety and accountability.
Question 4: A teacher says: 'The final exam will cover everything we've learned this semester. However, I've identified five key topics that make up about 70% of the exam. I've listed them on the board. Focus your studying on those five topics.' What should students focus their studying on?
- Everything equally.
- The five key topics listed on the board. (Correct answer)
- Only the last chapter.
- Only what they missed on quizzes.
Correct answer: The five key topics listed on the board.
The teacher says to 'focus your studying on those five topics' that are listed on the board and make up about 70% of the exam. While the exam covers everything, strategically focusing on the highest-value topics is efficient studying. This is helpful test preparation advice.
Question 5: You hear: 'Due to budget cuts, the after-school tutoring program will be reduced from five days to three days per week — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The hours remain the same: 3:30 to 5:00 PM.' What changed about the tutoring program?
- The hours changed.
- The location changed.
- It went from five days to three days per week. (Correct answer)
- It was canceled completely.
Correct answer: It went from five days to three days per week.
The announcement states the program 'will be reduced from five days to three days per week.' Specifically, tutoring will now be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday only, instead of every day. The hours (3:30-5:00 PM) remain unchanged. Budget cuts necessitated this reduction.
Question 6: A teacher says: 'The group project has three components: a written report, a visual presentation, and an oral presentation. Each component is worth one-third of the total grade. All group members must contribute to all three parts.' What fraction of the grade is each component worth?
- One-quarter.
- One-third. (Correct answer)
- One-half.
- All of it.
Correct answer: One-third.
The teacher states: 'Each component is worth one-third of the total grade.' With three components (written report, visual presentation, oral presentation), each accounts for approximately 33% of the total grade. All group members must work on all three parts, not just specialize in one.
