Question 1Listening

You hear: „Добро утро, како сте?“ What is the speaker doing?

  1. Saying goodbye at night
  2. Ordering breakfast
  3. Asking for the time
  4. Greeting someone in the morning Correct answer.

Explanation

The phrase „Добро утро“ is the standard Macedonian morning greeting, and „како сте“ asks how the listener is. Together they form a polite morning greeting, not a farewell or a request. Recognising fixed greeting formulas is a basic listening skill.

Question 2Listening

You hear: „Се викам Ана и имам шеснаесет години.“ What does the speaker tell us about herself?

  1. Her school and teacher
  2. Her address and job
  3. Her name and age Correct answer.
  4. Her hobbies and friends

Explanation

„Се викам“ introduces a person's name, and „имам ... години“ states how old someone is. The numbers „шеснаесет“ means sixteen. So the sentence gives name plus age and nothing else.

Question 3Listening

You hear: „Денес е вторник, а утре е среда.“ What day is tomorrow?

  1. Thursday
  2. Monday
  3. Wednesday Correct answer.
  4. Tuesday

Explanation

The speaker says today is Tuesday („вторник“) and tomorrow is Wednesday („среда“). The question asks about tomorrow, so the answer is Wednesday. The word „утре“ signals the following day.

Question 4Listening

You hear: „Мојата мајка е лекарка, а татко ми е учител.“ What are the two jobs mentioned?

  1. Nurse and farmer
  2. Doctor and teacher Correct answer.
  3. Teacher and driver
  4. Doctor and engineer

Explanation

„Лекарка“ is a female doctor and „учител“ is a male teacher. The sentence pairs mother with the first job and father with the second. Listening for the key nouns gives the two professions directly.

Question 5Listening

You hear: „Извинете, каде е железничката станица?“ What is the person asking?

  1. When the train leaves
  2. How much a ticket costs
  3. Where the railway station is Correct answer.
  4. Whether the station is open

Explanation

„Каде е“ means „where is“, and „железничката станица“ is the railway station. The question word „каде“ marks a request for location. No timetable, price or opening hour is involved.

Question 6Listening

You hear: „Сакам едно кафе со млеко, ве молам.“ What does the customer want?

  1. A coffee without sugar
  2. A glass of water
  3. A coffee with milk Correct answer.
  4. A tea with lemon

Explanation

„Кафе со млеко“ means coffee with milk, and „едно“ specifies one. The polite closing „ве молам“ means please. The other drinks and the sugar detail are not in the recording.

Question 7Listening

You hear: „Времето денес е сончево, но студено.“ What is the weather like?

  1. Sunny but cold Correct answer.
  2. Rainy and warm
  3. Snowy and mild
  4. Cloudy and windy

Explanation

„Сончево“ means sunny and „студено“ means cold; the conjunction „но“ contrasts the two. So the day is bright yet chilly. The other weather words do not occur in the sentence.

Question 8Listening

You hear: „Ќе дојдам во петок навечер околу седум часот.“ When will the speaker come?

  1. Saturday evening around six
  2. Friday afternoon around eight
  3. Friday morning around seven
  4. Friday evening around seven Correct answer.

Explanation

„Во петок“ fixes the day as Friday, „навечер“ means in the evening, and „околу седум часот“ means around seven o'clock. All three details must be combined to answer. Any option that changes one of them is incorrect.

Question 9Listening

You hear: „Марија е повисока од својата сестра, но нејзината сестра е постара.“ Who is taller and who is older?

  1. Marija is taller; her sister is older Correct answer.
  2. Marija is taller and also older
  3. Marija is older; her sister is taller
  4. Both are the same height and age

Explanation

The comparative „повисока од“ shows Marija is taller than her sister. The second clause says the sister is older („постара“). The contrast word „но“ signals that the two facts point in different directions.

Question 10Listening

You hear: „Вчера бев на пазар и купив два килограма домати и еден килограм јаболка.“ What did the speaker buy?

  1. Two kilos of tomatoes and one kilo of apples Correct answer.
  2. Three kilos of fruit in total
  3. Two kilos of potatoes and one kilo of pears
  4. One kilo of tomatoes and two kilos of apples

Explanation

The numbers attach to the nouns that follow them: „два килограма домати“ is two kilos of tomatoes, „еден килограм јаболка“ is one kilo of apples. The verb „купив“ confirms a purchase. Matching each quantity to its noun is essential.

Question 11Listening

You hear: „Ако врне утре, ќе останеме дома; ако не врне, ќе одиме на планина.“ What decides whether they go to the mountains?

  1. Whether it rains Correct answer.
  2. Whether the children are free
  3. Whether the shops are open
  4. Whether the car works

Explanation

Both clauses are conditional on the weather: rain means staying home, no rain means going to the mountains. The repeated verb „врне“ is the key condition. Other circumstances are not mentioned.

Question 12Listening

You hear a shop assistant say: „За жал, тој модел го немаме во вашата големина.“ What is the problem?

  1. The customer must pay in advance
  2. The shop is closed today
  3. The model is too expensive
  4. The model is not available in the customer's size Correct answer.

Explanation

„За жал“ introduces bad news, and „го немаме“ means we do not have it. The missing item is specified as the model in the customer's size („во вашата големина“). Price, closing and payment are not part of the message.

Question 13Listening

You hear: „Лекарот рече дека треба да пијам многу вода и да не излегувам надвор два дена.“ What advice was given?

  1. Take tablets three times a day for a week
  2. Avoid water and rest for two weeks
  3. Drink plenty of water and stay indoors for two days Correct answer.
  4. Go for a walk outside every morning

Explanation

The reported speech after „рече дека“ gives the doctor's instructions: drink a lot of water and do not go outside for two days. The negative „да не излегувам“ means to stay in. Any option adding medicine or exercise contradicts the recording.

Question 14Listening

You hear: „Иако беше многу уморен, тој реши да ја заврши работата.“ What does the sentence tell us?

  1. He postponed the work until tomorrow
  2. He finished the work despite being tired Correct answer.
  3. He was too tired to work
  4. He finished the work because he was tired

Explanation

„Иако“ means although, so the tiredness works against the decision rather than causing it. The verb „реши да ја заврши“ shows he chose to complete the work. Recognising concessive connectors is the key skill here.

Question 15Listening

You hear a teacher say: „Тестот ќе го пишуваме в четврток, а не в среда, како што беше планирано.“ What changed?

  1. The test was cancelled completely
  2. The test moved from Wednesday to Thursday Correct answer.
  3. The test moved from Thursday to Wednesday
  4. The test will be written at home

Explanation

The speaker states the test will be written on Thursday, „а не в среда“, which corrects the earlier plan of Wednesday. The phrase „како што беше планирано“ refers back to the original arrangement. The correction reveals the change of day.

Question 16Listening

You hear: „Ми се допаѓа овој град затоа што е мирен, но нема многу продавници.“ What is the speaker's overall view?

  1. Indifferent to the town
  2. Positive about the town, with one drawback Correct answer.
  3. Positive about the shops only
  4. Completely negative about the town

Explanation

„Ми се допаѓа“ expresses liking, and „затоа што е мирен“ gives a positive reason. The clause after „но“ adds a limitation about few shops. So the overall view is favourable with a reservation.

Question 17Listening

You hear: „Таа ми рече: ‚Ќе ти се јавам кога ќе стигнам.‘“ What did she promise?

  1. To visit before leaving
  2. To send a message from home
  3. To write a letter when she arrives
  4. To call when she arrives Correct answer.

Explanation

„Ќе ти се јавам“ means I will call you, and „кога ќе стигнам“ means when I arrive. The quoted speech reports her own words. The promise concerns a phone call at the moment of arrival.

Question 18Listening

You hear a radio announcement: „Поради работи на патот, автобусот за Охрид доцни триесет минути.“ What should passengers expect?

  1. A thirty-minute delay due to roadworks Correct answer.
  2. An earlier departure than planned
  3. A cancelled bus to Ohrid
  4. A different bus stop in Ohrid

Explanation

„Поради работи на патот“ gives the cause as roadworks, and „доцни триесет минути“ states a thirty-minute delay. The destination Ohrid stays the same. Both the reason and the length of the delay are needed for a full answer.

Question 19Listening

You hear: „Колку почесто вежбаш, толку подобро ќе зборуваш.“ What is the message?

  1. Practice should be done rarely
  2. More practice leads to better speaking Correct answer.
  3. Speaking well makes practice unnecessary
  4. Speaking is easier than practising

Explanation

The paired structure „колку ... толку“ links increasing practice with improving speech. It expresses a proportional relationship, not a contrast. The more frequent the practice, the better the result.

Question 20Listening

You hear: „Не ми се верува дека тој го положи испитот од прв пат.“ What is the speaker expressing?

  1. Certainty that he will pass
  2. Regret about failing the exam
  3. Surprise that he passed first time Correct answer.
  4. Anger at the examiner

Explanation

„Не ми се верува“ literally means it does not seem believable to me, which expresses surprise or disbelief. The clause explains what is surprising: passing on the first attempt. The emotion is astonishment, not certainty or anger.

Question 21Listening

You hear: „Пред да излезам, ја исклучив печката и ги затворив прозорците.“ In what order did the actions happen?

  1. She closed the windows after leaving
  2. She turned on the stove before leaving
  3. She left, then turned off the stove
  4. She turned off the stove and closed the windows, then left Correct answer.

Explanation

The phrase „пред да излезам“ means before I went out, so the two actions of switching off the stove and closing the windows happened first. The main verb „излезам“ comes last in time. The sequence is marked explicitly by the preposition.

Question 22Listening

You hear: „Ако бев знаел дека е толку далеку, ќе бев тргнал порано.“ What does the speaker mean?

  1. He did not know the distance and left too late Correct answer.
  2. He knew the distance and left early
  3. He arrived earlier than expected
  4. He decided not to go at all

Explanation

The unreal conditional with a past perfect form describes a situation contrary to reality: he did not know it was so far. The result clause says he would have set off earlier. So in reality he left later than he should have.

Question 23Listening

You hear: „Колку и да се трудиш, не можеш сè да стигнеш.“ What attitude does the speaker convey?

  1. Accepting that not everything can be achieved Correct answer.
  2. Angry that the listener is lazy
  3. Pleased with the listener's effort
  4. Confident that all tasks will be finished

Explanation

The structure „колку и да“ means however much, and „не можеш сè да стигнеш“ means you cannot get to everything. Together they express resignation about limits rather than criticism. The tone is realistic, not angry or pleased.

Question 24Listening

A speaker says: „Тој е многу дружељубив, но денес молчеше цело време, што не е како него.“ What is implied?

  1. He was silent because he was angry
  2. He is normally a quiet person
  3. He never speaks at parties
  4. His silence today was unusual for him Correct answer.

Explanation

„Дружељубив“ describes a sociable person, and „што не е како него“ explicitly marks today's silence as unlike him. The implication is that the behaviour was out of character. The cause of the silence is not given.

Question 25Listening

You hear: „Иако рече дека ќе дојде, сепак не се појави.“ Which statement best captures the meaning?

  1. He appeared and then said he would come
  2. He came although he had said he would not
  3. He never said anything about coming
  4. He said he would come but did not appear Correct answer.

Explanation

The concessive frame „иако ... сепак“ sets up an expectation that is then contradicted. He promised to come, yet he did not show up. The word „сепак“ reinforces the unexpected outcome.

Question 26Listening

You hear a receptionist say: „Вашата соба е на вториот кат, а појадокот се служи од седум до десет часот.“ What two pieces of information does the guest receive?

  1. The room floor and the breakfast hours Correct answer.
  2. The room number and the parking place
  3. The room key and the restaurant menu
  4. The room price and the check-out time

Explanation

The receptionist names the floor of the room (вториот кат, the second floor) and then gives the serving window for breakfast (from seven until ten o'clock). Both details are practical arrival information, so the answer must combine the location of the room with the meal schedule.

Question 27Listening

You hear: „Мојот брат работи како наставник по математика во едно мало градче.“ What is the brother's job?

  1. A mathematics teacher Correct answer.
  2. A bus driver
  3. A shop owner in a town
  4. A doctor in a village

Explanation

The phrase работи како наставник по математика identifies the profession directly: he works as a teacher of mathematics. The place (a small town) is extra detail, but the question asks only about the occupation.

Question 28Listening

You hear: „Те молам, затвори го прозорецот, има многу ветер.“ What does the speaker ask for?

  1. To open the door
  2. To turn off the light
  3. To bring a blanket
  4. To close the window Correct answer.

Explanation

The imperative затвори го прозорецот means close the window, and the reason given is the strong wind. The request is a simple household instruction, so the correct answer restates that action.

Question 29Listening

You hear: „Секој ден станувам во шест и потоа пешачам до работа.“ How does the speaker get to work?

  1. By bicycle
  2. By car
  3. On foot Correct answer.
  4. By bus

Explanation

The verb пешачам means to walk on foot, so the daily routine includes walking to work after getting up at six. No vehicle is named in the sentence, which rules out transport by car, bicycle or bus.

Question 30Listening

You hear: „Денес имаме час по историја наместо по географија.“ Which class will take place today?

  1. Music
  2. Mathematics
  3. History Correct answer.
  4. Geography

Explanation

The construction наместо по географија marks a substitution: the geography lesson is replaced, and the lesson that actually happens is history. The key is to notice which subject follows имаме час and which one is displaced.

Question 31Listening

You hear: „Мојата баба живее во село и секоја недела ми праќа домашно сирење.“ What does the grandmother send?

  1. Garden flowers
  2. Fresh fruit
  3. Homemade cheese Correct answer.
  4. Wool socks

Explanation

The object of the verb праќа is домашно сирење, homemade cheese, sent weekly from the village. The adjective домашно signals that she makes it herself, which is the detail the question targets.

Question 32Listening

You hear a nurse say: „Пред операцијата не смеете да јадете ништо од полноќ.“ What must the patient avoid?

  1. Walking alone
  2. Drinking cold water
  3. Eating after midnight Correct answer.
  4. Taking any medicine

Explanation

The nurse forbids eating anything starting from midnight before the operation, a standard pre-surgery instruction. The verb не смеете plus ништо од полноќ makes the restriction about food and its timing.

Question 33Listening

You hear: „Извинете, каде е најблиската аптека?“ What is the person looking for?

  1. A post office
  2. A pharmacy Correct answer.
  3. A bank
  4. A bakery

Explanation

The word аптека means pharmacy, and the question asks where the nearest one is located. The polite opening извинете shows the speaker is addressing a stranger to request directions.

Question 34Listening

You hear: „Иако возот доцнеше еден час, сепак стигнавме на време на состанокот.“ What was the outcome?

  1. They cancelled the meeting and went home.
  2. They arrived at the meeting on time despite the delay. Correct answer.
  3. They missed the meeting because of the train.
  4. They took a bus instead of the train.

Explanation

The concessive frame иако… сепак contrasts a one-hour train delay with the positive result: they still reached the meeting on time. The speaker's point is that the delay did not cause a problem, so the outcome is successful arrival.

Question 35Listening

You hear: „Кога бев мал, татко ми ме носеше секоја сабота на риболов.“ What is the speaker recalling?

  1. A plan for next weekend
  2. A school trip with friends
  3. A childhood routine with his father Correct answer.
  4. A holiday abroad with his mother

Explanation

The time clause кога бев мал places the memory in childhood, and the imperfect verb носеше shows a repeated Saturday habit with the father. The whole sentence is a reminiscence, not a future plan or a one-off event.

Question 36Listening

You hear: „Ако сакаш да го подобриш изговорот, слушај македонски песни и повторувај ги гласно.“ What advice is given?

  1. Read grammar rules every evening.
  2. Listen to songs and repeat them aloud. Correct answer.
  3. Avoid speaking until the course ends.
  4. Write new songs in Macedonian.

Explanation

The conditional clause sets the goal (improving pronunciation) and the main clause supplies two linked actions: listening to Macedonian songs and repeating them out loud. Both parts of the advice must appear in the answer.

Question 37Listening

You hear: „Требаше да го купам билетот вчера, но заборавив, и сега нема места.“ What is the consequence of the speaker's mistake?

  1. There are no seats left to buy. Correct answer.
  2. He lost his ticket on the way.
  3. He arrived late at the station.
  4. He paid too much for the ticket.

Explanation

The structure требаше да… но заборавив expresses an obligation that was not fulfilled in the past, and the present result is нема места, there are no places left. The speaker regrets forgetting to buy the ticket because tickets are now unavailable.

Question 38Listening

You hear: „Колку повеќе го слушам предавањето, толку помалку го разбирам.“ What does the speaker feel?

  1. Listening more makes understanding harder. Correct answer.
  2. The lecture becomes clearer over time.
  3. The lecturer speaks too quietly.
  4. The lecture is too short to follow.

Explanation

The correlative pattern колку повеќе… толку помалку links increasing exposure to decreasing comprehension, so more listening produces less understanding. This is a paradox the speaker is complaining about, not a sign of improvement.

Question 39Listening

You hear: „Не само што го заврши проектот на време, туку и помогна на колегите.“ What does this say about the person?

  1. He finished the project late with help.
  2. He finished on time but refused to help.
  3. He finished on time and also helped others. Correct answer.
  4. He helped colleagues instead of finishing.

Explanation

The frame не само што… туку и adds a second achievement to the first, so both facts hold: timely completion and assistance to colleagues. The construction is additive, not contrastive, which is the trap in the distractors.

Question 40Listening

You hear a guide say: „Ќе се задржиме тука само дваесет минути, затоа не одите далеку.“ Why does the guide warn the group?

  1. The stop is short, so they should stay close. Correct answer.
  2. The museum is closing for the day.
  3. The bus has already left without them.
  4. The weather is about to turn stormy.

Explanation

The guide gives a reason (only a twenty-minute stop) and a consequence (do not go far), linked by затоа. The warning exists because the break is brief, so wandering away risks being late.

Question 41Listening

You hear: „Вестите рекоа дека патот кон Битола е затворен поради снег.“ What information is being passed on?

  1. The news programme was cancelled.
  2. Bitola is expecting heavy rain.
  3. A snowstorm closed a road to Bitola. Correct answer.
  4. A new road to Bitola has opened.

Explanation

The speaker reports a news item: the road toward Bitola is closed because of snow. The verb рекоа attributes the information to the news, and поради снег gives the cause of the closure.

Question 42Listening

You hear: „Ако не беше ти, никогаш немаше да го научам јазикот.“ What is the speaker expressing?

  1. A promise to teach the language to others.
  2. A regret about starting too late.
  3. Gratitude for the listener's help. Correct answer.
  4. A complaint that the listener stopped helping.

Explanation

The counterfactual conditional (ако не беше ти, никогаш немаше да…) states that without the listener the result would have been impossible. In context this is an expression of thanks for sustained help, not a complaint.

Question 43Listening

You hear: „Колку и да е тежок испитот, ние мораме да пробаме.“ What attitude does the speaker show?

  1. Anger at the examiners
  2. Certainty that everyone will pass
  3. Determination to attempt it regardless Correct answer.
  4. Indifference about the result

Explanation

The concessive колку и да е тежок concedes that the exam is hard, while мораме да пробаме insists on trying anyway. The attitude combines realism about difficulty with resolve to make the attempt.

Question 44Listening

You hear: „Договорот беше потпишан, но само откако адвокатите разгледаа секој детаљ.“ When was the contract signed?

  1. While the lawyers were still arguing
  2. Before the lawyers were contacted
  3. Only after the lawyers reviewed every detail Correct answer.
  4. Without any legal review at all

Explanation

The temporal clause само откако… разгледаа fixes the signing as subsequent to a full legal review of every detail. The passive беше потпишан plus откако establishes that sequence clearly.

Question 45Listening

You hear: „Тој рече дека ќе ни се јави, но изминаа три дена и сè уште ништо.“ What is implied?

  1. He will call next week instead.
  2. He has not called as promised. Correct answer.
  3. He lost his telephone at work.
  4. He called three times in three days.

Explanation

The contrast between the promise (ќе ни се јави) and the reality (три дена и сè уште ништо) implies the call never came. The speaker reports a broken promise without stating it in a single word.

Question 46Listening

You hear: „Иако беше уверена дека го положила испитот, резултатите покажаа спротивното.“ What happened?

  1. She was certain she had failed.
  2. She passed the exam with high marks.
  3. She expected to pass but did not. Correct answer.
  4. She decided not to take the exam.

Explanation

The concessive иако sets up her confidence about passing, and the second clause reverses it: the results showed the opposite. The contrast between expectation and outcome is the core meaning.

Question 47Listening

You hear: „Да не бев го прочитал извештајот, ќе го потпишев договорот без да забележам грешката.“ What does the speaker mean?

  1. Reading the report prevented him from signing a flawed contract. Correct answer.
  2. He read the report after signing the contract.
  3. He signed the contract and later found an error.
  4. Reading the report made him miss the error.

Explanation

The past counterfactual да не бев го прочитал… ќе го потпишев describes an unreal scenario: without reading the report he would have signed and missed the error. Because he did read it, the mistake was caught before signing.

Question 48Listening

You hear: „Колку што знам, изложбата требаше да почне во пет, но организаторите молчеа.“ What does the speaker convey about the exhibition?

  1. It was cancelled by the organisers.
  2. Its start time is uncertain because the organisers said nothing. Correct answer.
  3. The speaker decided not to attend it.
  4. It started exactly at five as planned.

Explanation

The hedge колку што знам limits the speaker's knowledge, and the contrast between требаше да почне (was supposed to start) and молчеа leaves the actual start unconfirmed. The message is uncertainty, not a confirmed outcome.

Question 49Listening

You hear: „Наместо да се жали, тој седна и сам ја поправи машината.“ What does the sentence emphasise about him?

  1. He acted himself instead of complaining. Correct answer.
  2. He repaired the machine after complaining.
  3. He complained until someone repaired it.
  4. He refused to touch the broken machine.

Explanation

The construction наместо да… presents the rejected option (complaining) and the main clause gives the chosen action (fixing the machine himself). The emphasis falls on self-reliance replacing complaint.

Question 50Listening

You hear: „Вестите што ги слушнавме вчера беа поинакви од тие што ги прочитавме утрово.“ What is the speaker pointing out?

  1. The speaker doubts that the news was broadcast.
  2. The speaker heard the news only this morning.
  3. The morning article repeated yesterday's news exactly.
  4. Yesterday's broadcast and this morning's article differ. Correct answer.

Explanation

The comparative поинакви од contrasts two sources of news, yesterday's broadcast and this morning's written report, and asserts they were different. The relative clauses што ги слушнавме and што ги прочитавме identify each source precisely.
