I’ll be arriving at Terminal 3, so we can meet at the arrivals area there. It would really help me out because I have a lot of luggage and I’m not sure I can manage it all on my own. If you’re busy, I can figure something else out, but let me know if you’re available. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot! Hey! This is Robert. I’m calling to remind you about the meeting tomorrow morning. It will start at 10 am in the main conference room.

Bye for now! Hello, I am Ms Green from next door. I just wanted to let you know that a delivery arrived for you this afternoon. I think it’s a small box because the delivery man left it in front of my door. I was worried it might get wet in the rain, so I brought it inside. You can come by and pick it up whenever you’re free.

I just wanted to let you know about the football match this Saturday. It’s the local derby, and it’s gonna be amazing!

Hi, it’s me. I’ve been thinking about where we should go for dinner tomorrow, and I have a few ideas. There’s a new Italian restaurant that opened near the park—it’s supposed to have fantastic pizza and pasta, and they have outdoor seating. Another option could be the Japanese restaurant we tried last month—it’s a bit further away, but the food was great. Finally, there’s the small café on the corner. They don’t have a big dinner menu, but their sandwiches and salads are really good. Personally, I think that sushi would be the best choice for tomorrow. Let me know what you think! A. An Italian restaurant. B. A Japanese restaurant. C. A café near the park. 11) A colleague leaves a message about booking a meeting room. Which room should you book? Hi, Alex. I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to talk about booking a room for tomorrow morning’s team meeting at 10 am. Normally, we use the East Room, but it’s not available this time because another group booked it in advance. The West Room was another option we considered, but it’s a bit too small for our team and might be uncomfortable. The South Room seems like the best option—it’s spacious, has all the equipment we need, and is close to the coffee machine. Please confirm if it’s available and book it as soon as you can. Thanks a lot! -ListeningGeneral- A. The East Room. B. The South Room. C. The West Room. Aptis exam Expert | one2onelessons.com | +34 637 590 037 |
[email protected] 12) Your friend leaves a message about her new phone. What does she say about it? Hi, it’s Emma! I just wanted to tell you about my new phone because I’m so excited. It’s such an upgrade from my old one. The screen is incredible—it’s large and super sharp, making it great for watching videos. The camera is fantastic, too. It takes beautiful photos even in low light conditions, which my old phone really struggled with. However, I have to admit the battery life isn’t as good as I’d hoped—it usually lasts a full day but not much more. Oh, and the new features make it a bit more complex to use at first, but I’m getting used to it. Overall, I’m really happy with it! A. The camera quality isn’t good. B. The battery life is shorter than expected. C. The features are too simple.
KEY TEST 1 13) A tourist is asking for directions. What is the closest attraction? A. The museum. B. The park. C. The cathedral. Woman: Excuse me, I’m here visiting your city and I'm trying to decide where to go next. I was hoping you could help. Man: Of course, Madam. How can I help you? Woman: I’ve just visited the museum, which was fascinating but a bit tiring. I’m planning to see the cathedral later—it’s about a 15-minute walk from here. However, I’ve heard that the park is just around the corner, only a five-minute walk away. Man: In fact, it is nearer. It could take no more than 2 minutes to get there. Woman: Oh! great then. Since it’s so close, I think I’ll stop there first for a little break before heading to the cathedral. Thank you for your help! -ListeningGeneral- Aptis exam Expert | one2onelessons.com | +34 637 590 037 |
