Tips: First, understand the big topic, not small details.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Learning construction skills for school.: The speakers never talk about school or learning for classes. They say beginners are welcome, not students learning skills.
• Visiting friends in Surrey.: They do not mention visiting friends. They talk about helping build homes, not social visits.
• Planning a family trip outside the city.: This is not a trip for fun or travel. It is a volunteer day to help the community.

Correct Answer: Beginners can help with several different tasks.

Why this is correct: The person arranging the volunteer day says beginners are welcome. They list painting, carrying supplies and cleaning up as ways to help, so prior building skills are not required.

Tips: Use the stated information, rather than outside knowledge.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Everyone must have building experience.: Beginners are explicitly welcome, so previous building experience is not required.
• Only professional painters may participate.: Painting is only one of several tasks. Carrying supplies and cleaning up are also mentioned.
• Volunteers must complete training before signing up.: Beginners can sign up and help with simple tasks. The conversation does not establish a training course that must be completed before registration.

Correct Answer: Around eight in the morning.

Why this is correct: The friend arranging the volunteer day says they need to be there by nine. Then they say they would probably leave around eight.

Tips: Check if the time is for leaving or arriving.

Why the other options are wrong:

• At nine o'clock sharp.: Nine o'clock is the arrival time, not the leaving time.
• Just before lunchtime.: They plan to finish by two, not start near lunch.
• Later in the afternoon.: They never say afternoon. They say early morning.

Correct Answer: Nervous but excited.

Why this is correct: The friend new to this kind of volunteering clearly says they feel nervous but mostly excited. This shows mixed but positive feelings.

Tips: Final feelings often come near the end of the talk.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Still worried and unsure.: They is not still unsure. They agrees to volunteer at the end.
• Uninterested but polite.: They shows interest and excitement, not boredom.
• Confident and bored.: They does not sound bored. They sounds positive.

Correct Answer: To make the early start sound easier.

Why this is correct: The friend arranging the volunteer day mentions Tim Hortons right after saying it is early. They say it helps, making the early start nicer.

Tips: Think why the speaker says this, not just what they say.

Why the other options are wrong:

• To suggest meeting friends there.: They do not plan to meet friends there.
• To explain where lunch will be provided.: Lunch is provided at the site, not at Tim Hortons.
• To decide who will pay for breakfast.: They never talk about paying for breakfast.
