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!
- Christmas.
- New Year.
- Halloween.
- Easter.
- Thanksgiving Day.

It is one of the most important holidays in Russia. People celebrate it on a grand scale while combining a family feast with fun outside the home. As a rule, December 31 is spent on preparing a festive feast or party: close relatives and friends get together and cut salads, decorate the house. To the chimes, people drink champagne, and then many go out to watch the fireworks.
Speaker B
This holiday originated almost 100 years ago, in 1922. Then it was listed as the Day of the Red Army and Navy, and later—the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy.
The holiday became a non-working day in 2002 and especially took root in the corporate culture: the female part of the team annually prepares congratulations to all men, regardless of whether they served in the army or not.
Speaker C
This holiday is celebrated in different countries around the world. It appeared as a day of solidarity for women in the struggle for equal rights and emancipation. But in modern Russia, many perceive it as a holiday of spring and beauty which runs counter to the true meaning.
Speaker D
This holiday in Russia is celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar—January 7th. The night before, believers go to church services, and some children and adults sing carols—they dress up in costumes and knock on houses to sing wish carols and receive sweets or money as a reward. On this evening, children are allowed to paint their faces, wear carnival costumes, knock on neighbours' doors and shout: "Trick or treat!" For stinginess, children can take revenge by smearing the door handles with soot. It is customary to treat young mummers with sweets or pies. And this is also a bizarrely distorted ancient custom of appeasing the souls of the dead so as not to provoke their anger.
Speaker E
An international gathering of evil spirits takes place every year on October 31, immediately after dark. It is on the night of November 1 that this holiday is celebrated all over the world, dressing up as witches and ghouls, putting on masks of the dead and vampires, and walking in this form through the streets.
Speaker F
Initially, the holiday expressed gratitude and appreciation to the family and God for the welfare and good relations. Over the long period of the holiday's existence, its religious meaning has almost disappeared, although its religious traditions have been preserved.
On this day in America, it is customary to gather with the whole family and prepare a festive dinner. Key dishes are baked turkey with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. In the United States, it is customary to hold colourful parades—also families, relatives and close friends from all over the world often come, no matter how life scatters them. The holiday is perceived as a good reason for unity, the manifestation of the kindest feelings, this day is intended to remind people of trust in others.
