Do the preparation task first. Then listen to the audio and do the exercises.
Preparation
Transcript
Hello, everyone. Hello! It's nice to see you all here. Welcome to British Life and Language. I am your teacher. My name is Lindsay Black. That's L-I-N-D-S-A-Y Black. Before we begin, some information about the class.
Our class is in room 13, on the first floor. When you go upstairs, turn left to find the room. Again, that's room 13.
We have class twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday. Our class begins at 4.30 p.m. and lasts 90 minutes, so we finish at 6 p.m. That's 4.30 to 6. Please arrive on time, OK?
Also, I have an office hour if you have questions. I'm in office 7B on the second floor. My office hour is Friday at 6 p.m. So, if you have any questions or problems or want to talk to me, it's Friday at 6 p.m. in office 7B.
We begin next week, on March the 13th. That's Monday, March the 13th. The course ends on May the 20th. May the 20th is the last day.
I think that's all ... Oh, one more thing. For this course you need the book. Here it is: British Life and Language Level 1 Student's Book. So, please get a copy of the book. I don't want to see any photocopies of the book, thank you! Remember, it's level 1 student's book. Don't buy the teacher's book.
I think that's all, everyone. I look forward to working with you. See you next Monday!
Hello Minerva
Could you tell us which task you speaking about? If it's the preparation task, you're right, these are a little tricky to use. Let me explain the best way to do this kind of task. But if you are talking about a different task, please tell us which one it is.
When you want to leave a word in a new position, you have to click or press on the small white hand (on the right) of the word that is in new position. For example, first, click on 'Monday' and then leave it in the top position. Then click on 'Tuesday', but when you leave it in the second position, you must click not on the word in the second position, but on the hand that is on the right of the word in the second position.
Does that make sense? It's easy to do but a little difficult to explain, so if you'd like me to describe how to do it again, please let us know.
All the best

Hello Maria Lê,
Please get a copy of the book means Please buy the book. We often talk about individual books as copies – in the past when books were made by hand they were literally copied, and we still use terms like copyright in the publishing industry.
When we talk about photocopying a text we say make a copy rather than get a copy.
