If I come in the morning, I won't get home before eleven because of the car journey. But the community transport I've booked will come and pick me up from home at ten thirty.
What an examiner checks here:
- If attending in the morning
- Will not get home before 11 am
- Because of the car journey
- Community transport already booked
- Pickup from home at 10:30 am
Easy to miss: The community transport pickup is at 10:30, before she would get home at eleven.
I can see two afternoon appointments on that date: one thirty or three fifteen. Which would fit your transport booking, including your journey home?

Three fifteen would suit me better. I expect the community transport to bring me back home before two, but it might be delayed.
What an examiner checks here:
- 3:15 pm preferred
- Community transport expected to bring her home
- Expected home before 2 pm
- Transport might be delayed
Easy to miss: Being home before two is an expectation, not a guarantee.
Three fifteen is available. Before I move the appointment, will you need community transport to bring you here, or can you arrange another lift?
Model answer and marking points
Oge elekere atọ na nkeji iri na ise dị. Tupu m agbanwee oge gị, ị ga-achọ ka ụgbọ njem obodo bute gị ebe a, ka ị nwere ike ịhazi ka onye ọzọ bute gị?
What an examiner checks here:
- 3:15 pm is available
- Before changing the appointment
- question: is community transport needed to bring her here?
- question: can she arrange another lift?
Easy to miss: The question concerns transport to the appointment, not the earlier community transport trip.

My husband will bring me that afternoon. Please, will you cancel the morning appointment when you give me the new time, so I don't have two appointments?

- question: will the morning appointment be cancelled?
- Cancel when the new time is booked
- Avoid having two appointments

Thank you. I'm still going on that community transport trip. If the vehicle is delayed, who should I call?

- Possible vehicle delay
- question: who should she call if it is delayed?
Easy to miss: She is keeping the community transport trip despite arranging her husband to drive her to the appointment.
