**Answer key at the bottom of the description**
Practice part C of the test: Sentence Builds
"For the Sentence Builds task, candidates hear three short phrases and are asked to rearrange them to make a sentence. The phrases are presented in a scrambled order and the candidate mentally rearranges them, then constructs and says a sentence made up of the three phrases.
Examples:
1. my boss / to London / moved
2. of your family / any pictures / do you have
3. to their leader / listened carefully / the young men
To correctly complete this task, a candidate must understand the meaning of the individual phrases and know how they might combine with other phrasal material, both with regard to syntax and pragmatics. The length and complexity of the sentence that can be built is constrained by the size of the phrase that a person can hold in verbal working memory. This is important to measure because it reflects the candidate’s ability to access and retrieve lexical items and to build phrases and clause structures automatically. The more automatic these processes are, the greater the candidate’s facility in spoken English. This skill is demonstrably distinct from memory span (as further discussed in Section 2.5.2).
The Sentence Builds task involves constructing and articulating sentences. As such, it is a measure of candidates’ mastery of sentences, in addition to their pronunciation and fluency" ("Student placement test", 2019)

I have a little problem with the system voice I hear while practicing. Why don't it pronounce properly sometimes? it's like murmuring
Hi. I don't know what to say really. I'll try to enunciate better next time. Keep training. There are more videos on youtube!

The pronunciation is not clear in some sentences
Your accent is really making this hard
Yeah, the thing is that I try to keep a natural intonation while reading the words in a scrambled order, sometimes I feel like I'm a character talking from the other side in twin peaks. But it could also be my accent, of course. Thanks for pointing out the areas of improvement 😉
I decided to give only hints not the answers. Cheers
Cannot agree more with @Rufus! I was so frustrated with his accents!
Hi! I'm working on it. It's a never ending process to be honest. However, if you wanna get a higher quality test, you may buy one from the test providers. Good luck on your test 😉
i like the accent, though its hard to understand but this is what i want to be used to
