CELPIP Listening Part 2 Practice Test: Musical Instrument

Student: Hello, Ms. Carter, I’m eager to start those guitar lessons we discussed.

Teacher: Fantastic, Alex! Are you a complete beginner, or do you know a few chords?

Student: Total novice. I’ve never even held a guitar properly.

Teacher: No worries. We’ll start with basics like strumming and simple tunes. Do you have a guitar?

Student: Not yet. Can I rent one for the lessons?

Teacher: Absolutely. We have acoustic guitars for $5 per session. Lessons are Tuesdays at 6 p.m. Work for you?

Student: Tuesdays are perfect. How long is each class?

Teacher: An hour. We keep groups small, about four students, so you’ll get plenty of attention.

Student: Sounds ideal. What should I bring besides enthusiasm?

Teacher: Just a notebook for jotting down chords and tips. I’ll provide sheet music.

Student: Great. Is there a signup fee or just the rental cost?

Teacher: There’s a $20 registration fee for the eight-week course, plus the guitar rental if needed.

Student: Fair enough. Can I pay online before Tuesday?

Teacher: Yep, I’ll email you the link. Oh, and wear comfy clothes—makes strumming easier.

Student: Will do. I’m so excited to finally learn guitar! Thanks, Ms. Carter.

Teacher: My pleasure, Alex. You’ll be playing in no time!
