Tips: The opening lines usually tell you the main topic. Listen for the activity name right away.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A youth soccer practice: Soccer practice is not mentioned.
• An ice skating class: Ice skating is not discussed.
• An art class for kids: An art class is not what she is asking about.

Correct Answer: She is a six-year-old who is new to swimming lessons.

Why this is correct: The woman says 'She's six, and she's a beginner. She has never taken lessons before.' Two key facts: age and experience level.

Tips: When a question says 'best describes,' all parts of the answer must be correct. Check both the age and the skill level.

Why the other options are wrong:

• She is an experienced swimmer at age five.: Five years old and experienced is wrong. She is six and a beginner.
• She is a keen swimmer who has taken lessons before.: Having taken lessons before contradicts 'never taken lessons before.'
• She is a beginner who is too young for the class.: She is not too young. She is six, which fits the beginner class.

Correct Answer: She has commitments that prevent her from attending on weekends.

Why this is correct: The woman says 'I work weekends, so that's hard for us.' Her weekend work is the reason she prefers weekdays.

Tips: The word 'commitments' means things you must do. Working on weekends is a commitment that prevents weekend lessons.

Why the other options are wrong:

• The recreation centre offers more options on weekdays.: More options on weekdays is not her reason. It is about her schedule.
• Her daughter finds weekend classes too tiring.: Her daughter finding weekend classes tiring is not mentioned.
• Weekend lessons are not available for beginners.: Weekend lessons being unavailable is not stated.

Correct Answer: She has work obligations until later in the afternoon.

Why this is correct: The woman says 'I usually finish work at four-thirty.' Since the class is at four, she cannot make it in time.

Tips: When a time does not work, look for a scheduling conflict. The woman finishes work after the class starts.

Why the other options are wrong:

• She needs to pick up another child from school at that time.: Picking up another child is not mentioned.
• The class finishes too late for her daughter's bedtime.: The class finishing too late is not the issue. She cannot arrive on time.
• Her daughter prefers to swim later in the day.: Her daughter preferring later is not stated.

Correct Answer: On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 PM.

Why this is correct: The instructor says 'We also have a five-thirty class on Tuesdays and Thursdays.' He offers a specific time and days.

Tips: Schedule questions need you to match both the days and the time. Make sure you hear both details correctly.

Why the other options are wrong:

• On Mondays and Wednesdays at 5:30 PM.: Mondays and Wednesdays are not the days mentioned.
• On weekdays, every afternoon at 5:00 PM.: Every afternoon at 5:00 PM is not correct.
• Only on Saturdays at a later time.: Saturday lessons are not suitable because she works weekends.

Correct Answer: Through the centre's reception or the town's online portal.

Why this is correct: The instructor says 'You can register today at the front desk or online through the town website.' Two ways to register.

Tips: The word 'or' gives you two options. Both options together make the correct answer.

Why the other options are wrong:

• By speaking directly with the instructor.: Speaking directly with the instructor is not how registration works.
• Only by visiting the recreation centre in person.: Only in person is wrong because online is also an option.
• By calling the town's administrative office.: Calling the administrative office is not mentioned.

Correct Answer: The successful completion of the payment.

Why this is correct: The instructor says 'Yes, as long as you complete the payment.' Paying secures the spot.

Tips: 'As long as' means 'only if.' When someone says 'as long as you pay,' it means payment is the requirement.

Why the other options are wrong:

• An email confirmation from the swim centre.: An email confirmation is not what secures the spot.
• A follow-up phone call to the instructor.: A follow-up phone call is not required.
• Submission of medical information for the child.: Medical information is not mentioned.

Correct Answer: Next week on a Tuesday evening.

Why this is correct: The instructor says 'Tuesday evening at five-thirty' when confirming the start time. Classes begin next week on Tuesday.

Tips: Start dates are often confirmed at the end of a booking conversation. Listen carefully to the final exchange.

Why the other options are wrong:

• This coming weekend.: This coming weekend does not match. She works weekends.
• Next week on a Wednesday evening.: Wednesday evening is not the day mentioned.
• In two weeks' time on a Thursday.: In two weeks is not correct. The instructor says next week.
