I want you to listen to the story very carefully and see if you can answer the question correctly. I will tell you the answer at the end. So if you’re ready to improve your English listening skills, let’s get started!

Story #1

Number one. A man is talking about which room he is in. Which room is he in? I’m in a room which has a little green plant. When I look around, I can also see some lights. There are three lights hanging from the ceiling. In this room, I can also look out the window and when I look down, I see a rug on the floor. In this room, I can also see a blue couch with a picture on the wall.

Story #3

Number three. A man is talking about his day. What was the third activity he did? When I woke up this morning, I got out of bed, stretched and went outside to water my plants. Watering my plants in the morning makes me feel really relaxed. After that, I came inside to read a book. I like to read in the morning so I can learn something before I start my day. Then I went to the gym to do some exercise. Doing some exercise in the morning helps me to feel more energized.

Story #4

Number four. A man is talking about the shirt he wants to buy. Which shirt does he want to buy? I need to get a new shirt at the shopping center today. I’m going to get a blue shirt because blue always looks really good on me. I don’t want to get a button-up shirt because I think that will look way too formal and I don’t really like long sleeves because they make me too sweaty. So I think the best shirt for me would be the polo. It looks good, has short sleeves and it’s not too formal.

Story #5

Number five. A man is looking at some hotel rooms on the hotel’s website. Which hotel room does he want to book? I definitely do not want to get a room which has had people smoking in it. I hate the smell of smoke. Having a view of the mountains would be absolutely beautiful. And I think I would prefer to have a double bed. I hate sleeping in a single bed because it’s too small.

Number seven. A man is talking about the cake he wants to get for his friend. Which cake is he going to buy? I’m thinking that I won’t get a cupcake because it will be too small for my friend. My friend loves cake so I need to get him something bigger. A layered cake looks really good but I think that will be too big. That strawberry cake looks nice but he doesn’t like strawberries. Okay, it’s decided! I’m going to him the cake with chocolate icing. It looks amazing!
