Practise identifying a changed time, a room and an item in a short conversation.
The idea
十時半から is the corrected start time; ten o’clock was the earlier time. 二階の部屋 places the class one floor above the ground floor; Japanese 二階 counts the ground floor as the first. エプロンを持って来てください asks the listener to bring an apron.
Read the text
A:「土曜日の料理教室は午前十時でしたね。」 B:「いいえ、時間が変わって、十時半からです。」 A:「場所は市民センターですか。」 B:「はい、二階の部屋です。エプロンを持って来てください。」
Examples
- 教室は十時半からです。The class starts at half past ten.
- 教室は二階の部屋です。The class is in a room one floor above the ground floor.
- エプロンを持って来てください。Please bring an apron.
- 授業は九時半に始まります。Class starts at half past nine.
- 土曜日の午前10時はどうですか。How about 10 a.m. on Saturday?
- 木曜日までに電話してください。Please call by Thursday.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
Do not treat an earlier plan or time as the final one; follow the whole text and check the evidence. The test does not directly assess speaking or writing. The JLPT no longer publishes an official vocabulary or kanji list, so lesson labels are estimates rather than promises of test content.
