Question one. You hear a woman talking to her doctor. I've been having headaches on and off.

Does
it affect your vision, Mrs. Tan? Yes, I see blurry dots, and my heart rate goes up. Should I take
medication for that? No, not yet. When did you last change your spectacle? Oh, that was about ten
years ago. Then I think you should get your eyes tested first

Question two. You hear part of a student presentation about chewing gum. Did you know that
chewing gum was first discovered in the United States in the 1860s? It was made of natural gum
from the sepadilla tree found in central american countries such as Mexico. Recently, manufacturers
have switched to man made substitutes. Chewing gum is still popular worldwide, but Singapore has
continued to ban it to curb littering in public places.

Question three. You hear two friends talking about their plans for a trip. I'm really looking forward to
our Lankawi trip. Are we going on Wednesday the third. Oh, no, I forgot to tell you. Arvin's birthday is
the next day and we have been invited. So we can only leave the day after, then? Yes, I'm afraid so.
Don't worry, our bookings are flexible.

Question four. You hear the local news on the tv. We end tonight's news on a happy note with news
of the shit family reuniting with their beloved cat, Toby. When the shits moved from Subang to
Kajang, Toby naturally came with them. But after three days, he went missing. The family feared he
had been stolen. Until a former neighbor in Subang found Toby outside their house. Toby had
decided Kajang was not to his liking.

Question five. You hear a chef on a tv baking program. Chocolate fudge brownies are not that
complicated to make. Although people frequently tell me about their failed attempts to bake them,
the trick here is to avoid adding in too much liquid. Instead, I use a large quantity of chocolate to get
that moist and chewy consistency. Once baked, I know I won't stop eating them. So I try not to make
brownies too often.

Question six. You hear an actor speaking about his new film. I was nervous when he offered me the
role. I wasn't sure if I could meet the physical demands of playing Jackie Chan and replicating his
legendary stunts. But after reading the script, I realized I didn't need to learn martial arts or anything.
The film spotlights his personal life, so I spent weeks watching his interviews, learning his
mannerisms, and practicing his facial expressions.

Question seven. You hear a college student commenting about her accommodation. My
accommodation was designed for two, but there has been a shortage of rooms, so I'm now share
ring with two other girls. They seem nice, but I'm worried we won't have enough workspace when
term begins. Furthermore, the walls are thin enough for me to hear my neighbor's alarm in the
morning, but I can easily block out any other noise with headphones.
