CELPIP Listening Part 1: free sample with answers

One free set

WOMAN: Excuse me, I think I left my transit pass on the bus about twenty minutes ago. It was the number 14. MAN: Okay. Buses on the 14 finish their loop at the north terminal, so anything found today goes to the lost and found there, not here. WOMAN: Oh no. I have a job interview downtown at ten. Is there any way to check without going all the way up there? MAN: You can call the lost and found line, but honestly they only update the list at noon. If the pass is registered online, you can freeze it right now on your phone and order a replacement. Your balance moves to the new card. WOMAN: It is registered, I think. So I wouldn't lose the money? MAN: Not if you freeze it before someone uses it. For today, buy a single ticket from the machine behind you. Keep the receipt; some people get it refunded when the old card is found. WOMAN: That's a relief. Thank you.
