CELPIP Listening Part 5 Practice Test: Planning a Neighborhood Safety Campaign

Olivia: Alright, neighbors, we need to launch a safety campaign to address recent concerns about speeding in our area. It should engage residents and be effective. Any ideas?

Henry: I think we should install speed bumps on the main roads. They’re proven to slow traffic and don’t require much maintenance.

Sam: Speed bumps are effective, Henry, but they can be annoying for residents and emergency vehicles. What about a public awareness campaign? We could use signs and flyers to remind drivers to slow down.

Olivia: Awareness campaigns are great, but they might not have a lasting impact. What if we combine approaches? A few speed bumps on problem streets and a campaign to educate drivers.

Henry: I like the combo, Olivia, but speed bumps are pricey. We’d need to convince the city to fund them, which could take time.

Sam: That’s true. For the campaign, we could partner with the local school to involve kids in creating posters. It’s low-cost and gets the community involved.

Olivia: Brilliant, Sam! Kid-made posters would catch attention and make drivers think twice. My concern is enforcement—how do we ensure drivers follow the rules?

Henry: We could request more police patrols during peak hours. If we show data on speeding incidents, the police might prioritize our area.

Sam: I’m sold on the speed bumps and awareness campaign with school involvement. Let’s also host a community meeting to share the plan and get resident feedback.

Olivia: Perfect. Let’s go with the combined safety campaign. Henry, can you gather speeding data for the police?

Henry: Yep, I’ll start collecting it tomorrow.

Sam: I’ll reach out to the school about the poster project.

Olivia: Great. I’ll contact the city about speed bump funding. This campaign is going to make our streets safer!
