Strategies and useful tips

  • It's not necessary to hear and understand every word that's spoken. You need to understand the general meaning of a text.
  • All six speakers have a common topic. You need to find the peculiarities of each statement, each extract.
  • Read the seven statements. Point out the details that you have to listen for (keywords).
  • As you listen for the first time, note for each speaker anything which will help to fix them in your mind (age, gender) and any words/phrases that correspond to what you're listening for.
  • Remember that the extracts may contain distracting information so you should listen to the whole piece before you make a decision. Don't decide too quickly. The word 'but' may be the most important word in the recording!

Script
Speaker A

In my country, it is the most celebrated day regardless of your ethnicity, religion and age. You may not celebrate the birthday of Jesus, you may skip Easter or Halloween but there is no excuse for ignoring the fourth of July. My family throws a huge barbecue for our friends, relatives and neighbours every year. We decorate the house with American flags and red, white and blue ribbons and flowers. I was literally shocked when I heard that Independence Day is not celebrated abroad. Once, my niece brought her Canadian boyfriend to our barbecue. I asked the fella how they celebrate the fourth of July in Canada and he told me that they didn't celebrate it at all. Nonsense!

Speaker B

I used to travel a lot. I lived in 10 countries, and I was fascinated by each of their cultures. Many holidays are celebrated similarly, for instance, Christmas or Easter. And then there is the concept of Independence Day. It is a special, almost sacred day, for every country. In the US they have a national holiday with many traditions. I especially love the colour palate of the US's. But let me tell you about Bastille Day. It is France's Independence Day and it's been celebrated on July 14 since 1789. It is the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille. On this day they hold a huge military parade, various festivals and shows and at night they launch fireworks. It seemed to me that the French fancy this holiday more than Christmas.

Speaker C

I used to study with a Russian student in college. She told me hundreds of stories on Russian culture but there was one I was impressed with the most. It was when she told me about Victory Day which is May 9. She told me that it's a national holiday. They have a grand military parade and then there is a huge national campaign called the Immortal regiment where people put the photos of their relatives who participated in WW2 on the sticks and go to the local demonstrations with these photos. Russians also congratulate their relatives and put Georgian ribbons on their bags or pieces of clothes.

Speaker D

My mother was a teenager when it happened but she remembers that day vividly. Everything was coming to that point and it was inevitable. On November 9, 1989 hundreds of thousands of East Germans headed to the borderline where the Berlin Wall was. On the other side of the Wall, thousands of West Germans came to greet their nationals. The border guard tried to push people off but then they opened the border. Over three million people visited Eastern Berlin in the next three days. Until October 1990 the Wall existed as a symbol of the recent past. It was covered in words, drawings and graffiti, and then it was destroyed in a couple of months. That's when my mother first met her grandparents.

Speaker E

As a child, I was interested in astronomy and I always dreamed about going to space. That was because of the man's first flight to space. His name was Yuriy Gagarin and it was April 12, 1961. I was so proud of mankind and I was so jealous that I could not fly to space that I asked my parents to send me to the USSR (chuckle). Then I had a chance to be proud of my country when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. What a joyful day it was. My friends and I used to play astronauts all the time. After school, I graduated from MIT with a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering and worked in NACA for 30 years.

I genuinely think that September 1, 1939, was the most tragic day in all of history. WW2 was so tremendously violent and destructive that the whole world agreed that there should not be any more war. On the day of Sepetember 1, Nazi Germany crossed the border into Poland and the war began. The reason for the invasion was a staged attack on a radio station in Gleiwitz by Polish soldiers. Yet it was a German soldier who put on a Polish uniform and attacked the station. Adolf Hitler tried to avoid a world war, but 2 days after the invasion of Poland, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war against Nazi Germany.
