1 00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:03,400 All right. 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,720 So we're going to do a we're going to do several field of play practice. 3 00:00:06,730 --> 00:00:08,980 You're going to have a field of blank practice opportunity. 4 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,240 If you want to, you should. 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,470 You should write your answers down on paper if you want to, or you can. 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,600 I guess you all are modern. 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,540 You can type your answers on your phone if you want to, I guess. 8 00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:25,980 But one thing I want to say is. 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,240 Playing when we're doing when we're when we finish an audio and we have we have answered the questions. 10 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,660 Do not write your answers in the chat box. 11 00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:40,780 I'm going to say the answer choices. 12 00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:44,050 I'm going to explain the different answer choices. 13 00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:45,880 So please. 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,690 Please, please, please do not write and answer choice in the box. 15 00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:56,670 Do not write an answer Choice in the box. 16 00:00:57,090 --> 00:00:58,380 Do not write to answer. 17 00:00:58,380 --> 00:00:59,610 Choice in the box. 18 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,470 Now know what's going to happen. 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,550 I'm going to do it. 20 00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:06,150 And then somebody inevitably is going to write an answer in the box. 21 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:07,560 Please don't do that. 22 00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:09,120 All right. 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,110 So let's get started. 24 00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:14,950 So practice number one. 25 00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:33,070 So on the left, you can see on the left, you can see the questions, 31 to 40. 26 00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:40,240 I'm going to play the audio for you to hear and you should write down your answers to 31 to 40. 27 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,700 And then afterwards, I will go over the correct answer choices. 28 00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:54,340 Keep in mind, it's all about recognizing, paraphrasing and synonyms, and then also recognizing the 29 00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:58,750 different traps that I mentioned, including changing up the word order. 30 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:03,580 Switching from active to passive using pronoun referencing. 31 00:02:03,820 --> 00:02:06,790 So you've got to be aware of the tricks and traps. 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,950 And more importantly here, the paraphrasing and synonyms that are happening. 33 00:02:12,670 --> 00:02:13,600 Let's get started. 34 00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:21,330 Exam Practice Test three listening part four. 35 00:02:21,630 --> 00:02:27,180 You will hear a student giving a presentation about the challenges of living in space. 36 00:02:27,210 --> 00:02:29,790 First, you have some time to look at questions. 37 00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:31,890 31 to 40. 38 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:24,730 Now listen carefully and answer questions. 39 00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:26,320 31 to 40. 40 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,860 Hello, everyone. 41 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,560 So I'd like to tell you about some of the challenges of living in space. 42 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,650 We'll start with the International Space Station, or ISS, as it's often called. 43 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:48,760 The ISS has been in space, in orbit around the Earth since 1998. 44 00:03:48,970 --> 00:03:56,740 Over 200 astronauts have lived on board, and one of the biggest challenges for them is living in microgravity. 45 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,380 So what happens when you're living in microgravity 24 hours a day for months? 46 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,130 For a start, it affects your blood circulation. 47 00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:10,380 On Earth, your blood would naturally be pulled towards your feet. 48 00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:13,300 But in space, it goes to your head. 49 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,390 And we'll talk a bit more about the consequences of that later. 50 00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:19,030 But it also goes to your chest. 51 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:23,020 And that's why astronauts have to be careful about their blood pressure. 52 00:04:23,620 --> 00:04:27,970 Microgravity also affects the minerals stored inside your body. 53 00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:34,060 Over time, for example, the amount of calcium inside your bones begins to decrease. 54 00:04:34,090 --> 00:04:36,100 So the bones become weaker. 55 00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:37,180 Yes. 56 00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:39,550 It's not much fun living in space. 57 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,030 The astronauts have to maintain a very strict exercise program. 58 00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:48,130 They do 2.5 hours of exercise six days a week. 59 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,960 If they don't, what happens is that their muscle begins to waste. 60 00:04:53,230 --> 00:04:55,690 Some of it also turns into fat. 61 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,290 And one final problem that some astronauts experience, they find that when they get back to Earth, 62 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,300 they can't see clearly. 63 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:11,440 Scientists aren't exactly sure why this happens, but it seems that the astronauts vision can be permanently 64 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,280 affected. 65 00:05:12,850 --> 00:05:19,090 Another challenge with living in the ISS is you have to take everything you need with you. 66 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,090 So space agencies like Nassr are constantly improving the way they recycle things. 67 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:30,290 Water, of course, is a vital resource and every little bit counts. 68 00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:34,660 That means that even the sweat that the astronauts produce is recycled. 69 00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:41,080 I know that doesn't sound very nice, but NASA's says their water is purer than anything you'd drink 70 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,800 on earth. 71 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:49,000 So what's next? 72 00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:53,080 Humans are already living in space in the space station. 73 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,160 But now the goal is to live on the moon or Mars. 74 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:04,030 For this, we need to make buildings and the challenges for engineers and architects are even harder. 75 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:10,540 It's incredibly expensive to transport materials into space, so they need to be as light as possible. 76 00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:17,440 The alternative is to use materials which already exist on the moon or Mars, and this does seem to 77 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,180 be the sensible way forward. 78 00:06:19,210 --> 00:06:23,440 So to make buildings on the moon, for example, we could use rock. 79 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,160 And the moon also has plenty of useful minerals. 80 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520 These can be made into metal, into brick. 81 00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:35,260 And some engineers are also suggesting they could produce paint. 82 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:41,380 So it seems everything we need for a basic building might already be on the moon. 83 00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:48,250 Actually, there's one thing that Nasser hasn't managed yet, and that's to increase the size of the 84 00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:50,530 windows on the ISS. 85 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,560 They're very small, and if people were going to live in buildings on the moon, this is something Nasser 86 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,060 still has to work on. 87 00:06:58,540 --> 00:07:05,830 So even if we manage to create a network of buildings for people to live in on the moon or Mars and 88 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:13,510 grow food and be self-sufficient, they would still need mental stimulation and opportunities to relax 89 00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:16,600 and stay in touch with what was happening back on earth. 90 00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:20,390 Virtual reality could be the answer. 91 00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:27,820 Imagine you're living on the moon, but you could use virtual reality to walk around a museum and see 92 00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:29,200 all the exhibits. 93 00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:31,810 That would be incredible. 94 00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:39,430 And by using virtual reality, you could continue your education by, say, studying for a qualification 95 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:43,870 that might be useful in your current environment or once you're back on Earth. 96 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,780 Now, Mars is a different thing. 97 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,050 That is the end of part four. 98 00:07:53,310 --> 00:07:53,820 All right. 99 00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:57,450 So now let's go ahead and go through the answer choices. 100 00:07:59,890 --> 00:08:06,160 Number 31 is chest goes to equals moves to. 101 00:08:06,730 --> 00:08:12,130 And then they didn't say the word and they use a synonym for the word. 102 00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:13,690 And and when they say it. 103 00:08:13,690 --> 00:08:14,770 But also. 104 00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:17,450 Number 32 is calcium. 105 00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,300 Number 33 is muscle. 106 00:08:21,390 --> 00:08:23,130 Number 34 is the vision. 107 00:08:23,950 --> 00:08:25,510 35 is sweat. 108 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,850 36 is light. 109 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,140 37 is paint. 110 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:37,710 38 is Windows, 39 is museum, and number 40 is qualification. 111 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,200 Those are the answer choices. 112 00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:50,990 And also, you can see that when it comes to part number four, the words that you have to spell are 113 00:08:50,990 --> 00:08:52,970 a little bit more difficult to spell. 114 00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:57,020 Museum qualification, sweat muscle. 115 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,980 Calcium. 116 00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:08,580 So the spelling difficulty is raised, but this was all about being able to recognize and hear the synonyms 117 00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:12,450 that were happening or the word order changes that were happening. 118 00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:13,360 Right. 119 00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:21,090 So they said the calcium, which is a mineral, the calcium in your bones begins to decrease, which 120 00:09:21,090 --> 00:09:23,970 is, you know, decreases a synonym for lose. 121 00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:26,990 I have a quick question. 122 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:35,070 Um. 123 00:09:36,330 --> 00:09:47,670 In terms of the lower or upper case, it doesn't matter all cap, all small first letter cap. 124 00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:48,810 It doesn't matter. 125 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,320 All right. 126 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,410 No. 127 00:09:52,410 --> 00:09:53,280 Right. 128 00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:57,120 If you spell the word wrong, it is wrong answer. 129 00:09:57,780 --> 00:09:58,740 I'm sorry. 130 00:09:59,910 --> 00:10:00,450 They're not going. 131 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,510 They're not going to give you credit when you spell the word wrong. 132 00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:05,820 It doesn't work that way. 133 00:10:06,270 --> 00:10:06,840 Right. 134 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:09,420 They only give credit for correct spelling. 135 00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:11,410 All right. 136 00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:16,000 So one more question and then I'm going to move on to the next one. 137 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,100 No. 138 00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:22,800 Mr. AH. 139 00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:28,170 You cannot use the word degree instead of the word qualification. 140 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:31,350 You cannot use the word eyesight instead of vision. 141 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,350 You cannot write. 142 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,830 You have everybody listen. 143 00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:36,840 You have to write the answer. 144 00:10:37,630 --> 00:10:40,900 You got you got to write the answers that the answer that was said. 145 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:42,970 Yeah. 146 00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:49,620 If you spelled the word wrong, if you spelled the word wrong, then you got it wrong. 147 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,410 You got it wrong. 148 00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:52,170 I'm sorry. 149 00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:55,800 Number 40 is not is not education. 150 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:56,970 Right. 151 00:10:56,970 --> 00:11:00,750 They said, continue your education for a qualification. 152 00:11:01,780 --> 00:11:01,930 Right. 153 00:11:02,020 --> 00:11:04,270 Continue your education for a qualification. 154 00:11:04,510 --> 00:11:09,370 When they say when they say it and this is this is when you have to recognize paraphrasing everybody, 155 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,520 when they say continue your education, that's basically them saying you're going to be able to get 156 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,730 a new qualification, you're continuing your education. 157 00:11:18,970 --> 00:11:21,130 So that's going to lead to something new. 158 00:11:22,210 --> 00:11:29,710 So it's not always is not always direct is indirect at times. 159 00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:33,590 Right is indirect at times. 160 00:11:33,770 --> 00:11:36,080 This is this is part number four. 161 00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:40,170 This is part. 162 00:11:43,490 --> 00:11:46,360 If you spelled the word M USA. 163 00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:53,900 Look, if you spelled the word wrong, muscle is spelled m UCLA. 164 00:11:57,750 --> 00:12:00,450 umuscl0u. 165 00:12:00,450 --> 00:12:02,940 Said Ms. muscles is wrong. 166 00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:06,030 Right there is not plural. 167 00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:11,070 They expect you to be able to hear the difference between plural and singular. 168 00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:12,370 Right. 169 00:12:12,370 --> 00:12:14,980 That's an that's a that's an expectation. 170 00:12:19,410 --> 00:12:19,770 All right. 171 00:12:19,770 --> 00:12:23,430 So this was from part number four. 172 00:12:24,450 --> 00:12:30,180 And, you know, your goal should be used to be getting, you know, eight, eight out of ten. 173 00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:31,080 Nine out of ten. 174 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,890 Correct. 175 00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:36,330 If you're the type of student that's saying, I want to get higher than a seven in my listening. 176 00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:40,240 Then you should be getting eight out of ten, correct? 177 00:12:40,270 --> 00:12:41,590 Nine out of ten, correct. 178 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:48,380 You can use capital letters if you want to. 179 00:12:49,710 --> 00:12:52,470 Artists move on to the second practice. 180 00:12:54,510 --> 00:13:00,420 This is just I'm showing you the questions and the transcript. 181 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,800 Like, if you you really like I told you after really answering a question, you really want to spend 182 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:14,610 some time going through the transcript and the question so you can really see the paraphrasing and the 183 00:13:14,610 --> 00:13:17,160 word word order changes that are happening. 184 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,220 The more you look at those things in terms of word order changes and synonyms, the more you look at 185 00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:31,590 those things, the easier is going to be for you to handle it on the exam.
