Listen and Choose a Response

You hear a single campus or everyday line, in one of several English accents. The reply choices appear only after the audio ends.

On the day

1. Catch the speech act: request, offer, complaint, check, invitation.
2. The correct reply accepts the act. Three distractors answer a different act.
3. Listen for polarity. “Would you mind” is a yes/no trap.

Usual traps

• Answering the topic instead of the function (“library” vs. “can I borrow your notes”).
