CELPIP Listening Part 5 Practice Test: Playground Equipment

Dana: The parks department wants a clear maintenance schedule for our playgrounds.

Luis: Some equipment is getting rusty, and a few swings need new chains.

Marta: We should inspect each playground monthly. Safety checks are essential.

Dana: Monthly is good, but let’s also do a deep clean and full repair twice a year.

Luis: We could schedule inspections for the first week of every month so it’s consistent.

Marta: And keep a logbook at the parks office with inspection dates and issues found.

Dana: For the biannual repairs, spring and fall make sense—before and after peak usage.

Luis: Should we assign specific staff to each playground? That way, they become familiar with the equipment.

Marta: Yes, that helps spot changes quickly. Also, if an urgent hazard appears, we should have a 48-hour response rule.

Dana: Agreed. So: monthly inspections, spring/fall repairs, assigned staff, logbook, and 48-hour hazard response.

Luis: I’ll draft the schedule.
