- A permission slip from home
- A bag lunch from home (Correct answer)
- Money for the vending machine
- A note from a parent
Correct answer: A bag lunch from home
The announcement clearly states that students who normally eat at school should bring a bag lunch from home because the cafeteria will be closed for cleaning.
Question 2: A teacher announces: 'Before we begin today's lesson, please put all cell phones in your backpack and turn off the classroom lights. Then take your seat quietly.' What is the FIRST thing students should do?
- Take their seat quietly
- Turn off the classroom lights
- Put cell phones in their backpack (Correct answer)
- Open their textbooks
Correct answer: Put cell phones in their backpack
The teacher lists three steps in order. The first instruction given is to put all cell phones in backpacks, which students must do before the other tasks.
Question 3: You hear: 'Good morning. Picture day has been moved from Thursday to next Monday. Students who ordered photo packages should bring their order forms on Monday.' Who needs to bring something on Monday?
- All students at the school
- Students who are absent Thursday
- Students who ordered photo packages (Correct answer)
- Students in the photography class
Correct answer: Students who ordered photo packages
The announcement specifically says that students who ordered photo packages should bring their order forms on Monday. It does not apply to all students.
Question 4: You hear the following instruction: 'Students going on the science field trip must have a signed permission slip AND lunch money turned in by Wednesday morning. Students missing either item will not be allowed to go.' What happens if a student brings only the permission slip but not the lunch money?
- They will go on the trip but eat last
- They will not be allowed to go (Correct answer)
- They must call a parent from school
- They can turn in the money on the bus
Correct answer: They will not be allowed to go
The announcement says students must have BOTH a signed permission slip AND lunch money. Missing either one means the student will not be allowed to go on the trip.
Question 5: A school announcement says: 'The gym will be unavailable after school today for all students. The wrestling team should report to the outdoor track instead for practice.' Where should the wrestling team go for practice today?
- The gymnasium as usual
- The cafeteria
- The outdoor track (Correct answer)
- The library
Correct answer: The outdoor track
Because the gym is unavailable, the announcement directs the wrestling team to report to the outdoor track for their practice session today.
Question 6: You hear: 'Reminder to all eighth graders: your science projects are due this Friday, not next Friday as previously announced. Please make sure your project is complete and brought to class by Friday.' What change was announced?
- Science projects have been canceled
- The due date was moved from this Friday to next Friday
- The due date was moved earlier, to this Friday (Correct answer)
- Projects must now be submitted online
Correct answer: The due date was moved earlier, to this Friday
The announcement corrects a previous date by saying projects are due THIS Friday, not next Friday. This means the deadline was moved earlier than students were originally told.
You hear the announcement: 'Attention all students.
The cafeteria will be closed tomorrow for cleaning.
Students who normally eat lunch at school should bring a bag lunch from home.' What should students bring tomorrow?
