There are no audio records for final and midtrial tests because answers have to be given from the students not the teacher.

At the end of the fourth level, there are given a list of vocabularies that are used in each unit and another list of all the vocabularies of the level arranged alphabetically. It also contains comprehension texts and an audio CD of 8 hours for all text and some exercises that are used in this level.

The publisher didn’t produce audio records for all lessons and the accompanied CDs don’t cover all book lessons. Also the publisher used synonym words not exact words, so there are few differences in the Audio records.
