A rejected day and a stated replacement

A partner reads this original Basque script while the learner hides the page: “Asteartean ezin naiz etorri. Asteazkenean bostetan elkartuko gara”. The task asks which day is unavailable and what arrangement follows. One learner selects Tuesday at five because Tuesday is the first familiar weekday. Another says the message includes an official appointment confirmation number, although no such number appears. A third separates the rejected day from the Wednesday meeting statement. This bank provides a written script rather than a recorded sound file. Partner reading can add a listening component, while silent reading alone does not demonstrate auditory comprehension. The exchange is newly composed instructional material, not a real appointment or an official examination question. The response should preserve the relation between the two sentences.

1. What is unavailable and what follows?

Read the worked answer

Tuesday is unavailable. The following sentence states that they will meet on Wednesday at five, so the first day should not be combined with the second sentence’s time.

2. What does honest listening practice require?

Read the worked answer

Keep the text hidden while it is read aloud, answer and then check the wording. No recording, confirmation number or additional administrative condition should be invented.
