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!

Extreme sports Speaker A

I first tried this sport last year. The first time I stepped onto the raft, I was scared stiff. Luckily, other people on the boat were highly professional and they did most of the job. All those turns, rapids and waves seemed like a challenge for me. Luckily, we were given all the necessary instructions beforehand, so I knew how to behave in difficult situations. After the trip, we were given special certificates that proved it. Next holiday I would like to try it again, and I hope I will be more prepared.

Speaker B

Last year my parents presented me with a BMX. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it in my room. So I started attending special training sessions. First, we practised some tricks in the hall. Then we had our first trip to the forest. When you are going down the hill, it is a breathtaking moment. Unfortunately, one of us was injured and had to stop training for a while, but when he recovered, he got back and said that nothing could keep him from the excitement.

Speaker C

Could you imagine yourself flying with the birds? I have never dreamt of such an experience. This birthday my friends gave me a flight. At first, I was really scared, so I postponed it for one month. Then the weather was not good, and as you know weather conditions are really important to perform it. At last, all came together and I did it. I even have a video of my flight, as the instructor was holding a camera. Maybe, I will even repeat it one day.

Speaker D

Since my childhood, I have been fond of swimming. Two years ago while travelling around and, when we had a sea trip, I saw a group of people diving in the open sea. I was surprised because they didn't have any equipment. The guide explained to me that this is a special type of diving. When I came home, I started doing research and found a section where deep-sea divers were trained, so, next holiday I tried it myself. I had cold feet about taking my first dive, but when I saw the clear blue water, my fear disappeared. Now I'm a big fan of it! But please, don't do it without some special training.

Speaker E

I have always dreamt of being somewhere high in the mountains. So I found on the internet a special group organising ascents to Elbrus. It wasn't a usual all-inclusive five-star holiday. First, I had been going to the gym the whole year, then I had a special theoretical course and, finally, we arrived at the camp by the mountain. And you can't just start your trip. You have to prepare your body and mind for it. So, it also took several days, and only then the ascent started. I couldn't be happier when I was on the top. Next year I want to climb another peak.

Speaker F

That was the first time when my whole life passed in front of my eyes in five seconds. When I just looked at this attraction, I thought it wouldn't be scary at all. But I was completely wrong. Even though you are tightly fixed to the rope, you don't feel safe. The moment I jumped, I started regretting it. Only five minutes after everything was finished, I started to realise what had happened and how cool it was! I don't think any other activity can make you feel so many emotions at once.
