CELPIP Listening Part 1 Practice Test: Shared Parking Spaces in a Condo

Harper: The condo’s parking spaces are causing fights. Any solutions, Lucas?

Lucas: We could assign spots permanently, but that might seem unfair.

Harper: Yeah, some need bigger spots. What about a rotation system?

Lucas: That’s equitable, but it could confuse people. A digital booking system might work—residents reserve spots weekly.

Harper: Sounds modern, but older residents might struggle. Let’s consider the rotation and digital systems to find what’s most practical.

Lucas: The rotation system needs constant updates, which could be a hassle.

Harper: True. The digital system’s easier, but we’d need to train residents.

Lucas: There’s a free app with a simple interface. Let’s test it.

Harper: Good plan. If it’s too complex, we’ll try rotation. Can you check the app’s features by tomorrow?

Harper: Lucas, the digital app is perfect! It’s free and lets everyone book fairly.

Lucas: Great! It’s simple and stops the arguments. Let’s roll it out next week.

Harper: I’ll email residents a guide and offer a demo for seniors. We’ll review feedback in a month.

Lucas: Sounds solid. Let’s finalize the app setup by Friday to keep parking peaceful.
