CELPIP Listening Part 2 Practice Test: Learning to Ride a Bike

Parent: Hi, I’m looking for some help with my son’s bike. He’s struggling to learn how to ride it.

Employee: No problem! How old is your son, and what’s the issue?

Parent: He’s seven. He keeps losing balance and gets scared when I let go of the bike.

Employee: That’s common. Does his bike have training wheels?

Parent: It did, but we took them off last week. Now he’s too nervous to try.

Employee: Got it. We offer a beginner’s class here on Saturdays. An instructor works with kids to build confidence and balance.

Parent: Oh, that sounds perfect. How long is the class?

Employee: It’s an hour, and we provide bikes if needed. The cost is $20, and we limit it to five kids for personal attention.

Parent: Great. Is there space this Saturday?

Employee: Let me check… Yes, we have two spots left at 10 a.m. Want to sign him up?

Parent: Definitely. Can I stay and watch the class?

Employee: Of course, parents are welcome to observe. We also give tips on how to practice at home.

Parent: That’s helpful. Should I bring anything for him?

Employee: Just a helmet and water. We’ll provide the rest. Oh, and arrive 10 minutes early to get him settled.

Parent: Sounds good. I’ll sign him up for 10 a.m. Thanks so much!

Employee: You’re welcome. We’ll get him riding in no time!
