LISTENING PART 3 Training
questions 11 to 15 (audio 18)

Woman: I visited the countryside museum last week, Bruno. It opened two months ago. You’d like it there.
Boy: Why? Is there lots of information about trees?
Woman: No. It’s about wild birds that live in the forest. You can watch videos there too. I watched one about working on a farm.
Boy: Is it open on Saturdays?
Woman: Yes. It’s only closed on Mondays. I went on a Thursday.
Boy: And where is it?
Woman: It’s fifteen miles from here. It took twenty minutes to get there and thirty to get home because the roads were busier then. Here’s a map for your parents.
Boy: Thanks.
