Questions 21-24
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

Write your answers in boxes 21-24 on your answer sheet.

21. What finally made Ella choose her project topic?

22. How did Ella make her practical test fair?

23. Which finish slowed Ella's schedule most?

24. What positive features of bamboo does Ella mention?

(A) is incorrect. Forestry information was background only, and B is wrong because she had read the book before the project idea.

(B) is incorrect. She had read the book before the project idea.

(C) is correct. The recording supports this option: seeing how cabinet timbers changed a design.

Associated Text:
the real spark was an exhibition in Copenhagen. The cabinets on display there gave me the idea,

(A) is incorrect. She rejected testing several timbers with one finish, and B is wrong because bamboo was discussed separately.

(B) is incorrect. Bamboo was discussed separately.

(C) is correct. The recording supports this option: by using oak for all the surface treatments.

Associated Text:
In the end I chose one material, English oak, and tested different finishes on it, so the comparison would be fair.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: hard-wax oil.

(B) is correct. The recording supports this option: polyurethane lacquer.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: traditional shellac.

Associated Text:
The polyurethane lacquer caused the longest unexpected delay. I had to leave it for much longer between coats,

(A) is correct. The recording supports this option: its appearance, scent and safety for her.

(B) is incorrect. Cost is not mentioned, and C is wrong because she says bamboo was unsuitable for fine joinery.

(C) is incorrect. She says bamboo was unsuitable for fine joinery.

Associated Text:
it had a lovely colour and smell, and I had no allergic reaction to it.

Questions 25-30
What limitation does Ella mention for each timber?
  1. would exceed the budget
  2. visually dominates small work
  3. changes appearance in sunlight
  4. risky to work with
  5. harms workshop equipment
  6. shade is unpredictable
  7. weak in precise joints
  8. hard to obtain

Write the correct letter A-H next to questions 25-30.

25. oak

26. ash

27. iroko

28. yew

29. mahogany

30. spalted beech

The correct answer is B because Ella says oak can visually dominate small cabinet fronts, so it is too visually forceful for that scale.

Associated Text:
the grain is too strong for small cabinet doors. It can dominate the whole design,

The correct answer is C because Ella says ash starts pale but yellows quickly in sunlight, so its appearance changes over time.

Associated Text:
Ash has a lovely pale colour at first, but the colour is not long lasting. In sunlight it yellows quite quickly,

The correct answer is H because Ella says iroko would be difficult to source, since most timber yards do not stock it.

Associated Text:
it is not generally available. Most timber yards do not stock it,

The correct answer is D because Ella says yew dust can be dangerous, making it risky to work with.

Associated Text:
Beautiful, but very poisonous to handle. The dust can be dangerous, so it needs great care.

The correct answer is A because Ella says even a small piece of mahogany would take too much of the materials budget.

Associated Text:
it is expensive. Even a small piece would take too much of the materials budget.

The correct answer is E because Ella says hard patches in spalted beech can blunt a blade quickly, creating a problem for shared workshop equipment.

Associated Text:
it can damage tools. Hard patches in the grain can blunt a blade very quickly,

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the conversation.
