Q1.
You will listen to what Madhumati does with the bananas from her plantation. As you listen, number the events in the correct order in which they happen. 1. Gives two bananas to a boy who is hungry 2. Meets her friend Kalawati in the market 3. Visits her mother and gives her two dozen bananas 4. Chooses to go home as only some bananas were left 5. Visits her neighbour and gifts them a bunch of bananas 6. Gives twelve bananas to her friend 7. Goes to the market to sell the bananas
Answer
The transcript on page 36 uses order words — Firstly, Secondly, Next, Then, Later, After that, Lastly. Follow them and the numbering falls into place.
| Event as printed in your book | Number in the box | Order word in the transcript |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Gives two bananas to a boy who is hungry | 6 | “After that … she meets a little boy who is hungry” |
| 2. Meets her friend Kalawati in the market | 3 | “Next, she meets her old friend Kalawati” |
| 3. Visits her mother and gives her two dozen bananas | 1 | “Firstly, she visits her mother” |
| 4. Chooses to go home as only some bananas were left | 5 | “Later, she decides to go home” |
| 5. Visits her neighbour and gifts them a bunch of bananas | 7 | “Lastly, she goes to her neighbour's house” |
| 6. Gives twelve bananas to her friend | 4 | “Then, she gifts Kalawati a dozen bananas” |
| 7. Goes to the market to sell the bananas | 2 | “Secondly, she goes to the market” |
So the story in order is: mother → market → meets Kalawati → gives Kalawati a dozen → decides to go home → gives two bananas to the hungry boy → gifts the neighbour a bunch.
Tip: “A dozen” means twelve and “two dozen” means twenty-four. The listening test hides the answer behind these words — event 6 says “twelve bananas”, the transcript says “a dozen bananas”.
