Questions 21–30
21 and 22 The correct answers are C and E (in either order): 
Jess says that the more she 
read the handouts, the ‘more interested’ she got, and Tom agrees by saying, ‘Me too.’ Jess 
says that there were far more birds to see at the Natural History Museum than at the Bird Park 
and Tom says, ‘Yeah. I liked all the stuff about evolution there.’
 A is incorrect 
as Jess says that 
the Bird Park was a ‘let down’ (disappointing).

as Jess missed the workshop 
sessions. 
D is incorrect 
as Jess regrets not seeing the previous year’s projects.

Tom says that he has not 
‘evaluated anything’ and Jess says, ‘I’ll have to look at that too.’ Jess says that she is going to 
make her proposal ‘a bit more vague’, and Tom says, ‘I’ll change that too then.’
 A is incorrect 
as Jess does not say anything about changing her rationale. 
C is incorrect 
as Tom says that he 
has done the video diary presentation.
 D is incorrect 
as they have both done a timeline and a 
mind map.

Tom expresses his concern about only saying that the falcon is
‘a bit scary’ and Jess suggests he discusses
 
‘the possible (potential) danger (threat) suggested 
by the bird’s look’.
