Q1.
You will listen to an announcement. As you listen, state whether the following statement is true or false. (Transcript for the teacher on pg. 88) Dr. Dolittle's new clinic presents an offer of free medicines.
Answer
False.
The announcement gives the clinic's town, address, timings, special timings for birds, the kinds of animals welcome and the promise of “the best care possible” — but it says nothing at all about medicines being free. No offer, no discount, no price is mentioned anywhere.
Listening tip: For a true/false task, do not judge whether the statement sounds likely. Ask only one thing — did the speaker actually say it? If it was never said, the statement is false.
