Listen for a detail
What has already happened in the recording?
Show script, meaning, and explanation
预算已经获批,但施工尚未开始。负责人预计阅读区下月开放。
The budget is approved, but construction has not started. The person responsible expects the reading area to open next month.
已经获批 refers to budget approval; 尚未开始 excludes started construction.
If you use the script, this becomes supported reading. Close the script and replay the recording when you are ready.
Read a different account
图书馆因座位不足收到多次意见。工作人员调查后发现,午休时需求最大,因此计划把一间储藏室改为阅读区。负责人表示,改造预计下月完成,但预算尚未获批。目前图书馆只是调整了座位安排,并未增加开放时间。
Show English meaning
After complaints about seating, a survey identifies peak lunchtime demand. A storage-room conversion is planned, expected next month, but its budget is not approved. So far only seating arrangements have changed; hours have not increased.
Which statement accurately summarises the reading?
Show the answer and why
A conversion is planned but budget approval is pending — The plan exists, but approval is pending and hours have not increased.
Speak with a new detail
Close the text and give a three-sentence summary. Your partner checks plan versus completed action.
Try without reading. Work with a partner or make a private recording and listen back. Check the message and the response to your partner; pronunciation needs actual speech.

图书馆拟将储藏室改为阅读区,以缓解午休座位不足的问题。负责人预计下月完成,但预算尚未获批。目前仅调整了座位安排,开放时间不变。
- Keep the problem and proposed response.
- Retain the pending approval.
- Do not convert an estimate into a guarantee.
Your writing is not uploaded or automatically graded. Several responses may fit the task.
Remember for next time
A plausible completion date is still an estimate. Preserve the source’s uncertainty and attribute it to the responsible person.
Tomorrow, recall two words and try the speaking task with a new detail. A few days later, revisit the listening without its script.
Teacher and partner guidance
Model the goal, then let the learner attempt it. Check understanding of the spoken passage with the script hidden. Use the writing checklist to discuss meaning and structure; use actual speech to observe intelligibility and interaction. These public tasks are formative and must not be reused as unseen tests.
