Listening – Task 2
Study skills
Multiple Matching
In this part of the exam, there are five monologues and six statements to match them with. Read the statements before you listen and underline the key words. Listen for words that mean the same as the words you have underlined – the exact words will not be in the recording. Try to think of why the speaker is talking: to describe or explain something or to give some other kind of information.
Preparing for the task
1 Read sentences 1-3 and look at the underlined words. Then, read sentences A-C and match them with sentences 1-3. Which words helped you decide?
1 The speaker complains about his neighbor.
2 The speaker gives directions.
3 The speaker express concern over a relative.
A Turn left and walk straight down. You’ll see the bank in the next block.
В I’m so worried about grandpa’s health.
C It’s like living next to an ongoing rock concert, I can’t stand it!
2 You will hear 5 speakers, А, В, C, D and E, twice. Match each speaker with a statement below (1-6). You can only use each statement once. There is one extra statement.
1 The speaker says there is not much chance of locating more survivors.
2 The speaker says the people were not ready to face such a disaster.
3 The speaker suggests using alternative means of transport.
4 The speaker says more earthquake victims might be found alive.
5 The speaker describes the destruction caused by a hurricane.
6 The speaker cautions people to stay inside.
Reading – Task 2
Study skills
True/False/Not stated statements
Read the text quickly to get the gist of it. Then, read the each statement carefully, underlining the key words. The order of the questions is the same as the order in which the pieces of information are presented in the text. Find the part of the text that contains the information appearing in the question. Decide if the statement is true or false. If there is not enough information for you to decide, the answer is not stated.
Preparing for the task
3 Read the statements, paying attention to the underlined key words. Then, read the extract from a text and decide if the statements are T (true), F (false) or NS (not stated). Say which words/phrases in the text that helped you decide.
A The broadcast showing medical tests on an alien was shown in the late 1940s.
В The footage was filmed in New Mexico.
C Later, it was announced that the whole story had been a lie.
In 1995, one of the biggest broadcasting networks in the USA aired a programme showing a team of scientists examining what was said to be the body of an extraterrestrial being. The footage supposedly dated back to 1947 and showed doctors carrying out medical tests on a creature that had landed on Roswell, New Mexico from another planet. It was shown in 33 countries around the world. Even when it first went on the air, many people suspected this was nothing more than a trick. It was not until 2006, however, when one of the people involved in the making of the programme publicly admitted that the whole story had indeed been made up.
4 Read the text. Decide which of the statements (1-8) are true (1 - True), false (2 - False) or not stated, meaning that you cannot give a clear answer to them (3 - Not stated).
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our programme…
It was Halloween Eve, 1938, and families around the USA changed stations on their radios to find themselves listening to a pogramme featuring Ramon Raquello and his Orchestra. Suddenly, an urgent voice interrupted it with some breaking news. taskA huge flaming object” had fallen out of the sky in Grovertasks Mill, New Jersey. The programme returned to the music, but then broke off almost immediately for another bulletin. Something was climbing out of the smoke-filled crater, something from another planet.
The authorities advised citizens to stay indoors, scientists gave -formed opinions and reporters presented eye-witness accounts: taskSomething’s coming out of the shadows like a grey snake. Now here’s another one and another one and another. I can see the thing’s body now. It’s large, large as a bear.. It has skin like wet eather. But that face, it ... it ... ladies and gentlemen, it’s indescribable. I can hardly force myself to look at it, it’s so awful. The eyes are black and they shine like a snake.”
Listeners panicked. Some ran onto the streets using wet towels as gas masks and some raced to be with their families in their last moments. Others loaded guns and hid in cellars, preparing to defend themselves against whatever had landed. Phone lines across America were jammed as desperate citizens tried to find out exactly what was happening. But what these people didntaskt realise was that they were listening to Orson Welles’ radio play of H. G. Wells’ science-fiction classic, The War of the Worlds.
Wells’ novel was written at the end of the nineteenth century, forty years before the radio play, and detailed the events, of an invasion by creatures from the planet Mars Orson Welles’ adaptation took the novel and portrayed the events as if they were happening at that moment in a. news broadcast. There were sound effects and the actors’ piercing screams and terror-stricken voices were f frighteningly realistic. It was so realistic that thousands of listeners I were convinced that a real alien invasion was taking place.
How were people fooled so easily just by what they heard from a radio? Seventy years ago, very few households had a television so the only news sources were newspaperstask or the radio. They believed what they read or heard. Listening to just a part of the broadcast, they assumed that they were under attack. Added to that was the fact that it was the period between world wars. Most I listeners had lived through the terrible events of World War I and were expecting another conflict very soon. Naturally, when people found out that the invasion was just a radio play, they were
furious. The following day Wellestask name was all over the newspapers and there were calls for the government to pass laws to stop similar things ever happening again.
Welles had not intended to fool the American people. Previous broadcasts in the series had included The Count of Monte Cristo and Dracula, and, as the show began, there was an announcement: “The Columbia Broadcasting System presents Orson Welles and The Mercury Theater on the air in The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells.” However, listeners who had changed stations missed this and only heard what they thought was an attack from outer space.
After all the negative publicity, Welles was worried that his career was over, but he went on to be hugely successful, writing, directing and starring in Citizen Kane, a film widely considered to be one of the greatest ever made. However, for the listeners who lived through the night of his famous broadcast, he would always be known as the man who convinced America that the Martians had landed!
