Full-length practice test
The real three-part order — Part 1 Speaking & Writing → Part 2 Reading → Part 3 Listening. On test day you can’t go back a part, and Listening audio plays once. Reading, Listening and the writing tasks are scored; the speaking tasks are recorded practice you self-review, because the real test machine-scores your pronunciation and fluency.
1. Read Aloud. A short text appears. You have prep time, then read it aloud clearly and at a natural pace.
Urban planners increasingly argue that walkable neighbourhoods do more than reduce traffic: by placing shops, schools and parks within a short distance of homes, they encourage the kind of daily, unplanned social contact on which a sense of community quietly depends.

Starting this month, the community skating rink on Maple Avenue will follow updated public hours for the winter season. Free public skating will run Monday to Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., weather and ice conditions permitting. The rink will close temporarily each morning for resurfacing, and staff ask skaters to arrive at least fifteen minutes before closing to allow time to clear the ice safely. Helmets are strongly recommended for children under twelve, and skate rentals are available at the adjoining shed for a small fee, with sizes limited on busy weekends. Hockey sticks and pucks are not permitted during public sessions to reduce the risk of injury among casual skaters; a separate hour is set aside on Thursday evenings for supervised pickup hockey. The recreation department noted that hours may shift on statutory holidays and during extreme cold warnings, when the rink could close early for safety reasons. Updates will be posted on the community bulletin board and the town's website, and residents are encouraged to check before heading out, particularly after a storm.

When Mateo and his two roommates moved in together, they agreed to split grocery costs evenly, but tracking who paid for what quickly became confusing. After a month of forgotten receipts and awkward reminders, they started using a shared spreadsheet where each person logs their purchases and the total is divided three ways at the end of the month. Anyone who spends more than their share that month is paid back by the other two before the next grocery run. They also agreed that personal snacks or items only one roommate wants, such as a specific brand of coffee, are paid for separately and not added to the shared total. Mateo says the spreadsheet took some getting used to, but it has stopped arguments about who owes whom, since everyone can see the numbers at any time.

Extension Cord Safety Reminder — Facilities Department All staff using extension cords in office or storage areas must follow these guidelines. Extension cords are intended for temporary use only and should never be run under carpets or through doorways where they could be stepped on or pinched. Do not connect more than one extension cord together to reach a further outlet; use a single cord of the correct length instead. Cords showing frayed wires, exposed metal, or a cracked plug must be removed from service immediately and reported to Facilities for replacement. Space heaters and other high-wattage appliances should be plugged directly into a wall outlet, not into an extension cord, to avoid overheating. Any employee who finds a damaged cord should tag it "Do Not Use" and leave it at the front desk. Questions can be directed to the Facilities helpdesk at extension 204.

Extension Cord Safety Notice: Extension cords are meant for temporary use only and should never replace permanent wiring. Always check a cord for cracks, fraying, or exposed wire before plugging it in, and never use a damaged cord. Do not run extension cords under carpets or rugs, since this hides damage from view and traps heat that can build up and start a fire. Avoid overloading a single cord by plugging in multiple high-wattage appliances at once, and never connect several extension cords together in a line. Outdoor extension cords must be labelled for outdoor use and kept away from standing water. If a cord feels warm to the touch during use, unplug it immediately and stop using it.

Shift Swap Guidelines: Employees who wish to trade an upcoming shift with a coworker may do so, provided both employees hold the same job classification and the swap does not push either person into overtime. To arrange a swap, the employee must find a willing coworker, complete the Shift Swap Request form, and submit it to their supervisor at least 48 hours before the shift in question. The swap is not official until the supervisor reviews the request and signs off on it; employees should not assume an informal verbal agreement with a coworker is enough. Unapproved swaps may result in one or both employees being marked as a no-show. Approved swaps will be updated in the scheduling system within one business day.

Renewing a health card in person usually takes less time than people expect if the right documents are ready in advance. Applicants must bring proof of identity, proof of address, and their expiring card to the office. Staff will check that the photo still resembles the applicant before a new card. Most renewals are mailed out within three weeks, though some offices offer same-day for urgent cases. If a card has already expired, medical services may still be covered for a short period, but it is safer not to rely on this.
