Part 01
Narrator: Part 1
Listen and look. There is one example.
What does the boy like best?
Woman 1: I’m going to grow some vegetables
this year.
Boy 1: Are you going to grow mushrooms?
Woman 1: I can’t grow mushrooms in the garden, but
I can grow onions and cabbages.
Boy 1: Onions are my favourite. They’re delicious on
pizzas! But I’m not very keen on cabbage!
Narrator: The answer is A.
Now you listen and choose the best answer.
One. What is the girl reading about?
Man 1: Is your book interesting, Sarah?
Girl 1: It has great pictures in it.
Man 1: That’s a wonderful photo of a desert on
the front.
Girl 1: Yes, it has plenty of information about
deserts. And look at this photo of a coral reef. Our
teacher wants us to read about them for homework,
so I’m doing that now. Next week we’re learning
about mountains.
Narrator: Two. Which sport does Kenny want to try?
Woman 2: Would you like to try a new sport during
the holidays, Kenny? Maybe surfing?
Boy 2: Thanks, Mum. I’d really like to do a new
sport, but surfing’s not really my thing. Remember
when I tried skateboarding? I wasn’t very good.
Woman 2: Well, what about basketball?
Boy 2: That’s a fantastic sport! I’d love that!
Narrator: Three. How did Riya’s dad travel last
weekend?
Boy 3: Did you have a good weekend, Riya?
Girl 2: Yes, we went to see my aunt and uncle. They
live on the coast.
1
Boy 3: How did you get there?
Girl 2: Dad went on his motorbike, and Mum and I
went on the tram. My uncle drives a tuk tuk, but it’s
too small for all of us and our bags!
Narrator: Four. What is Tom looking for?
Woman 3: What are you looking for, Tom? Do you
have all the clothes you need for rugby tomorrow?
Boy 4: My socks are in my room, but I can’t find my
sweatshirt anywhere.
Woman 3: Oh dear, I’ll help you. Do you have your
shorts? I washed them yesterday.
Boy 4: Yes, thanks, I have those.
Narrator: Five. Where is Barbara going now?
Boy 5: Hi, Barbara. Are you going to the swimming
pool?
Girl 3: We went this morning. Now we’re taking my
little sister to the playground. Would you like to come
with us?
Boy 5: I can’t, I have to help Mum at home. But
after that, why don’t you come to my house and
watch a film?
Girl 3: Thanks, I’d love to!
Narrator: Now listen to Part 1 again.

Narrator: Part 2. Listen and look.
There is one example.
What has Yuri done during the holidays?
Girl 4: Hi, Yuri, are you enjoying your holidays?
Boy 6: Yes, they’ve been great. I’ve done lots
of things!
Girl 4: Me too! I designed this T-shirt last week.
Boy 6: It’s really cool! I went on a zip-wire yesterday.
Tomorrow I’m going to make a den with my dad.
You can come and help us if you want!
Narrator: The answer is B.
Now you listen and choose the best answer.

Six. What does the girl say about her journey
to school?
Girl 5: I cycle to school. I like it because I go with my
mum and my older sister. The roads aren’t busy, so
it isn’t dangerous. We don’t have to leave very early,
so it’s never dark when we’re on the road. The only
problem is that we sometimes have to cycle quite
quickly when we’re late, and then I get quite warm!
Narrator: Seven. What did the boy write about for
homework?
Woman 4: Have you finished your homework?
Boy 7: Yes. At first, I wanted to write about sea level
rise. That’s a big problem. I found an interview about
it online with a famous environmentalist. But then I
decided to do something different, and I wrote about
the air pollution caused by all the cars in cities, and
why it’s dangerous for our health.
Woman 4: That’s a good topic.
Narrator: Eight. What does Milo say about a
character in his book?
Woman 5: What’s your book about, Milo?
Boy 8: Some children who live in a village. There’s
one character who always tells the truth to his
friends. Sometimes that isn’t a very clever thing for
him to do, and his friends get angry. He doesn’t care.
Woman 5: Do his friends stop feeling angry?
Boy 8: Yes, after a few days. It’s a funny book.
It makes me laugh!
Narrator: Nine. Why does Barbara like the building
in the picture?
Man 2: Do you like that picture, Barbara?
Girl 6: Yes, I really like the building.
Man 2: Oh?
Girl 6: I like to think about what it might be. It can’t
be very spacious inside, but there are lots of people
outside. It could be a little library. I don’t know …
I like trying to guess what it is! It looks like a wooden
building because it’s brown. But maybe it isn’t.
Narrator: Ten. What was the weather like on
Dan’s trip?
Girl 7: Did you have a good trip, Dan?
Boy 9: It was OK, thanks. But it rained every day,
and it was very icy. I had to wear three jumpers and a
big coat when we were outside. My parents liked the
landscape because it’s very beautiful. But the weather
wasn’t!
Girl 7: Maybe you can go again, in the summer?
 CAMBRIDGE GLOBAL ENGLISH 4: PROGRESS TEST 3 LISTENING AUDIOSCRIPT

Part 03
Narrator: Part 3. Listen and look.
There is one example.
Woman 6: I’m going to tell you about a new indoor
climbing centre in our town. It’s open from nine
o’clock in the morning until eight o’clock in the
evening, and it’s a great place to go and have fun.
Narrator: Can you see the answer?
Now you listen and write.
Woman 6: You can go climbing there every day of the
week, except Tuesday, when the centre’s closed. The
busiest time is Wednesday afternoon.
There are five different climbing walls at the centre
and they’re all different heights. The lowest wall is
five metres tall, and the highest is twelve metres. But
you mustn’t go on that one before you’re really good
at climbing!
The climbing centre has lessons for climbers, from
beginners to advanced. There’s a special wall for
beginners. You’ll see which one it is because of its
colour – it’s purple. The best climbers practise on the
green wall. They’re amazing to watch!
There’s a shop at the centre, where you can buy
things like climbing equipment. You can also buy
nice torches there for camping adventures, but the
thing that they sell most of is a backpack. It seems
that everybody wants one of those. You’ll get safety
equipment to wear while you’re climbing. You must
wear a helmet, and special shoes, too. You don’t have
to buy those.
I’ll give you the address of the centre. It’s four six
two, Tryllock Street. I’ll spell that for you: T-R-Y-
double L-O-C-K. I’m sure you’ll have a great time if
you go!
Narrator: Now listen to Part 3 again.
Woman 6: You can go climbing there every day of the
week, except Tuesday, when the centre’s closed. The
busiest time is Wednesday afternoon.
