1. Before you start
Try these questions first. If you get them all right, you can move faster through Part 2.
2. Listen and notice
Amal is at an office. The clerk asks her name. The audio uses the voice on your device.
Read the conversation
Clerk: Hello. What’s your name?
Amal: Amal.
Clerk: How do you spell that?
Amal: A. M. A. L.
Clerk: Thank you. And your family name?
Amal: Hassan. H. A. S. S. A. N.
Clerk: Thank you, Amal.
Amal: You’re welcome.

| Say your name | My name is Amal. · Amal. |
| Spell | How do you spell that? · A-M-A-L. |
