Teacher Comment by English Teacher Jamie on August 27, 2012 at 11:13: It is an interesting subject. I wonder if I could drink vinegar by holding my nose?

Number 10 is quite difficult because you have to listen to the background voices. Well done for getting it right eventually!

Comment by Gertraud Müller on August 26, 2012 at 22:29: I did it 3 times and then I got 10. no.3 and no.10 were very difficult to understand.

Comment by coco on August 25, 2012 at 17:19: 8/10 I got the 3 and the 10 are wrong.

Teacher Comment by English Teacher Jamie on August 25, 2012 at 17:07: Actually the answer would be the same for the 1st and the 3rd beakers. Remember we are looking for the flavour that Richard thinks he is drinking. It's hard to understand Richard when he has something on his nose! His voice is not clear. :)

It's nice to see you again Goi! We missed you too.

Comment by Goi ja on August 25, 2012 at 17:02: Aj Jamie... i did 2 times testing then get 9 /10 , firstly i got 6/10. But just wonder of the question no.3 , should be the first beaker or third beaker ? :)
