ELTIS - English Language Test for International Students Listening to Announcements and Instructions 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A gym teacher announces: 'Tomorrow's physical education class will be held in the gymnasium instead of the outdoor field. Please bring your indoor sneakers and a water bottle. Students without proper footwear will sit out.' What will happen to students who forget their indoor sneakers?
- They will be sent home to get them
- They will not be allowed to participate (Correct answer)
- They can borrow sneakers from the office
- They will go to the outdoor field instead
Correct answer: They will not be allowed to participate
The announcement clearly states that students without proper footwear will 'sit out,' meaning they will not be allowed to participate in the activity.
Question 2: A school office announcement says: 'Attention students. The cafeteria will be closed for deep cleaning this Friday. All students must bring a packed lunch from home. The vending machines will also be unavailable.' What should students do on Friday?
- Order lunch from a local restaurant
- Bring their own lunch from home (Correct answer)
- Eat in their classroom with the teacher
- Sign up for a special school lunch program
Correct answer: Bring their own lunch from home
The announcement states that both the cafeteria and vending machines will be unavailable, so students must bring a packed lunch from home.
Question 3: A librarian announces: 'Your book reports are due this Friday by 3:00 PM. Please submit them to the bin outside my office door, not directly to me. Reports submitted after 3:00 PM will not be accepted.' Where should students turn in their book reports?
- Directly to the librarian in person
- To their homeroom teacher
- In the bin outside the librarian's office (Correct answer)
- At the front desk of the school office
Correct answer: In the bin outside the librarian's office
The librarian specifically instructs students to submit reports to 'the bin outside my office door,' not directly to her.
Question 4: A morning intercom announcement states: 'All seventh-grade students are reminded that the field trip permission slips must be returned by Wednesday. Students who have not returned their slips by Wednesday will not be able to attend the trip.' Who needs to return a permission slip?
- All students in the school
- Only students who want to be a trip chaperone
- All seventh-grade students (Correct answer)
- Students who have already paid the trip fee
Correct answer: All seventh-grade students
The announcement specifies 'all seventh-grade students' must return permission slips, not the entire school or any other group.
Question 5: A teacher gives instructions: 'When you finish your test, place it face-down on your desk and sit quietly. Do not leave your seat or talk to classmates until I collect all papers from the room.' What should a student do immediately after finishing the test?
- Bring the test directly to the teacher's desk
- Turn the test over and remain seated quietly (Correct answer)
- Begin reviewing notes for the next class
- Ask a classmate to check their answers
Correct answer: Turn the test over and remain seated quietly
The teacher instructs students to place the test face-down on their own desk and sit quietly — not to move or speak until papers are collected.
Question 6: A school counselor announces over the intercom: 'Students interested in joining the after-school tutoring program should pick up an application from the main office. Completed applications are due back to the counseling office by next Thursday.' Where should students return their completed applications?
- To the main office where they picked them up
- To any classroom teacher
- To the counseling office (Correct answer)
- By mailing them to the school address
Correct answer: To the counseling office
Although applications are picked up from the main office, the announcement states they must be returned to the counseling office — two different locations.
