In this part, you are required to act as a role and complete three communicative tasks: listen to a speaker, ask the speaker three questions and then answer five questions from the computer acting as another role.

Part A 

Reading Aloud

In this part, you are required to watch a video clip and read after the speaker in the video.

Much of my work here is to show people the diversity of the wildlife  and to explain its biology. It's important to get to know sharks. With gray sharks there is tension. They'll eat almost anything. You know, humans are much more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. When you spend time with sharks, you begin to understand them and learn to respect them. But you have to command their respect too. They're a vital link in the chain of life. Like wolves they weed out the sick and the injured.

Transcript: Tom’s Try at Basketball Tom got up early in the morning because he would have a try at basketball today. A few weeks ago, he decided to apply for the school basketball team. Tom ran downstairs to tell his mum that he had to leave for school early. Mum told him that he should eat breakfast first so that he would have enough energy after he got to school, but Tom said that he was too nervous to eat. “You’ll have more energy if you do.” said Tom’s mum. Tom still felt a bit sick, but he ate some breakfast anyway. Before he left home, mum kissed Tom and encouraged him just to do his best. After Tom arrived at the basketball court, all the boys were required to run, catch and throw balls. Even though he had lost the ball several times, Tom thought he did pretty well. Afterward, Tom was really tired and walked off the court. One coach called his name and asked “I would like you to join our school basketball team, what do you think, Tom?” though he felt tired, Tom was still very happy about the news. “That is really great!” he shouted, “Would I ever!”

His mother told him to eat something anyway, because it would give him the energy he needed. Tom felt a bit sick, but ate some in the end. Before he went, his mother kissed him and wished him good luck.

        After Tom got to the basketball court, the coach asked the boys to run, catch, and throw balls. Tom lost the ball a few times, but he still thought he did quite well. Afterwards, Tom was tired and began to walk away. But then a coach called his name. He asked Tom if he would like to join the school basketball team. Even though he was tired, Tom was extremely happy and excited. “That would be really great!” he shouted.
