Tips: For main idea questions, listen for what the whole conversation is about.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Problems with their work schedules.: They mention schedules, but only to see if the class fits. Work schedules are not the main topic.
• Finding new social activities in Fredericton.: They talk about being social, but only as one reason to join the class. It is not the main focus.
• Planning a trip to Quebec together.: They mention a past trip to Quebec, not planning a new one.

Correct Answer: Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Why this is correct: Speaker A clearly says the class is twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Speaker B thought it was Monday, but that was corrected.

Tips: When dates or times change, trust the correction, not the first idea.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Monday evenings only.: Speaker B thought it was Mondays, but Speaker A says it changed.
• Weekday mornings by the river.: The class is in the evening, not in the morning.
• Saturday afternoons at the centre.: There is no mention of Saturday classes.

Correct Answer: They were worried about fitting it into their schedule.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says their schedule is already pretty full. They also worry about hockey night and missing classes.

Tips: For why questions, listen for feelings like worried or hesitant.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They disliked the instructor's teaching style.: Speaker B worries about intensity, not the instructor.
• They didn't think French was useful locally.: Speaker B agrees French is useful, especially after Quebec.
• They thought the class fee was too expensive.: Speaker B never complains about the fee.

Correct Answer: Still nervous but looking forward to trying the class.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says they are still nervous, but also excited. This shows mixed feelings at the end.

Tips: End of conversation feelings often answer attitude questions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Relieved that they don't have to attend alone.: They do not say being together removes all worry.
• Completely confident and no longer nervous.: Speaker B clearly says they are still nervous.
• Uninterested and ready to cancel the idea.: Speaker B agrees to sign up, so they are not uninterested.

Correct Answer: It is designed to be affordable and low-pressure.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says the class is relaxed and not intense. They also say the fee is cheaper because the city subsidises it.

Tips: Inference questions need you to combine two or more details.

Why the other options are wrong:

• It requires perfect attendance to keep up.: They say summaries are posted online, so missing is okay.
• It focuses heavily on written grammar tests.: Speaker A says it is more conversation than worksheets.
• It is mainly for advanced French speakers.: The flyer says it is a beginner French class.
