Practice Test 9
•20 QuestionsRead the informational text and the description of its audio version.
TEXT (about 125 words): The school cafeteria is testing a “share table” to reduce food waste. Students who do not want an unopened item—like a sealed milk carton, whole fruit, or packaged snack—can place it on the table instead of throwing it away. Other students may take items from the table for free. The program follows safety rules: only unopened foods are allowed, and staff members check the table during lunch. Supporters say the share table can help students who are still hungry and can reduce the amount of trash the school sends to landfills. The cafeteria will track how much food is shared each week.
AUDIO VERSION: The principal reads the announcement over the intercom in a calm, reassuring voice, slows down when explaining the safety rules, and uses a firm tone on “only unopened foods.”
What does the audio delivery add that the written text alone does not provide?
