CEPT Short listening B1 level practice 1 - picture answer

Narrator: 1 What did the man do at the sports centre yesterday?

Man: I went along to that new sports centre yesterday evening.
Woman: Oh, yeah? Is it any good?
Man: Well, I haven’t become a member yet, but they showed me around. It was pretty good. I was thinking of joining so that I could do diving lessons, but there’s no pool. So, I don’t know.
Woman: Oh, that’s a shame. Did you try any of the facilities while you were there?
Man: I did a quick workout in the gym at the sports centre – the machines are great. You’d like it ’cos they have a running track outside.
Woman: Interesting! I’ll go and take a look.
Narrator: Now listen again.

Narrator: 2 Which sport does the woman compete in?

Man: Are you into sport, Julie?
Woman: Yeah, I’ve loved it since I was little and I’ve competed in a few different things.
Man: Oh, really? Do you mean in team sports?
Woman: Well, I play football, but only for fun with my friends. I preferred baseball when I was at school – I was quite good at it, and I almost played in a national tournament once. But no, I’m actually hoping to go out to Spain to take part in the surfing championships next month.
Man: That sounds amazing! I wish you the best of luck.
Woman: Thanks!
Narrator: Now listen again.

Narrator: 3 Where will the friends go running this evening?

Man: I’m not as fit as I used to be. I need to start doing some training again.
Woman: Well, why don’t you come for a run with me this evening after college? I usually set off from home around six o’clock. We could go along a path through the woods
near college. Or we could go into the countryside, which is what I do. There’s a path by the river – it’s more peaceful than running through the streets, and there are some beautiful views.
Man: Well, OK, then. Why not?
Narrator: Now listen again.

Answer - Picture A

Narrator: 4 Which winter sport was Max good at when he was young?

Woman: I’m going snowboarding next week – have you ever tried it, Max?
Man: Not since I entered a competition when I was a teenager. It didn’t end well – I came last and injured my ankle!
Woman: Oh – that doesn’t sound good.
Man: Well, no, it wasn’t. I used to be one of the fastest skiers I knew when I was that age – my family lived in Switzerland for a few years, so I just expected to be good at other winter sports, too – like snowboarding and ice hockey. But I failed to get into the school team for that!
Woman: Really?
Narrator: Now listen again.
