🏠 B2 · Part 3

Part 3 tests whether students can hear the main idea behind five short monologues. Each speaker mentions more than one option, so students have to listen for what the speaker actually means.

## Script

6 speakers · 6 lines

Narrator

You will hear five short extracts in which people are talking about working from home. For questions one to five, choose from the list what each speaker says. Use the letters only once. There are three extra letters you do not need to use.

Daniel

I thought I'd miss the office chat, and I did for about a week. What I didn't expect was how much more I'd get done before lunch. No one stops by my desk with a quick question that takes half an hour.

Priya

People assume it's the commute I was glad to lose. Honestly, I liked the train, it was my reading time. The real change is that I see my kids after school now. That's worth more than any pay rise.

Tom

I'll be honest, it didn't suit me. I live alone, and by Wednesday I'd hardly spoken to anyone. I asked to go back three days a week, and my manager was fine with it.

Grace

The hardest part was the kitchen table. My back was killing me after a month. Once the company paid for a proper desk and chair, everything got easier.

Owen

What surprised me was the meetings. You'd think there'd be fewer, but there are twice as many, they're just on a screen. I've started blocking out mornings so I can actually work.

## What Makes This Work

- ✓Each speaker mentions a distractor before giving the real point
- ✓Five different voices so students can tell speakers apart
- ✓Same topic for all five, as in the real Part 3
- ✓Narrator reads the instructions the way the exam does
