1
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:10,130
Okay.

2
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:17,330
And this part, it says, what problem does Joe mention in connection with each other of the following

3
00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:18,440
band members?

4
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:22,590
So they've got to talk about each of these different band members.

5
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:24,060
Remember goals in order.

6
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:30,500
So first they're going to talk about the flowers and they're going to talk about what the problem is

7
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:31,610
with the flowers.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,270
And then they're going to talk about the trumpeter, the trombonist, the percussionists.

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,620
They're going to talk about they're going to talk about each one of them and they're going to mention

10
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:42,430
their problem.

11
00:00:43,090 --> 00:00:49,210
Again, make sure you listen out for synonym language and paraphrasing.

12
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:51,160
All right.

13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,450
Let's go ahead and go through this one.

14
00:01:06,770 --> 00:01:13,790
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.

15
00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:36,820
Now listen and answer questions.

16
00:01:36,820 --> 00:01:38,770
27 to 30.

17
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,750
Can I tell you about a few people in the band who I'm finding it quite difficult to cope with?

18
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:50,050
I'm sure you'll have some ideas about what I can do.

19
00:01:50,290 --> 00:01:51,130
Go ahead.

20
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:55,600
There's a flautist who says she loves playing in the band.

21
00:01:55,810 --> 00:02:00,070
We rehearse twice a week after school, but she's hardly ever there.

22
00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:05,080
Then she looks for me the next day and gives me a very plausible reason.

23
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,560
She says she had to help her mother or she's been ill, but to be honest, I don't believe her.

24
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:12,820
Oh, dear.

25
00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:16,030
Any more students with difficulties?

26
00:02:16,060 --> 00:02:16,930
Plenty.

27
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:23,410
There's a trumpeter who thinks she's the best musician in the band, though she certainly isn't.

28
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:29,050
She's always saying what she thinks other people should do, which makes my job pretty difficult.

29
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:31,090
She sounds a bit of a nightmare.

30
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,500
You can say that again.

31
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:39,730
One of the trombonists has got an impressive sense of rhythm and could be an excellent musician, except

32
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:44,560
that he has breathing difficulties and he doesn't really have enough breath for the trombone.

33
00:02:45,130 --> 00:02:50,980
He'd be much better off playing percussion, for instance, but he refuses to give up, so he ends up

34
00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:52,600
only playing half the notes.

35
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,080
I suppose you have to admire his determination.

36
00:02:56,380 --> 00:03:03,310
Maybe one of the percussionists isn't too bad, but he never seems to interact with other people, and

37
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:06,310
he always rushes off as soon as the rehearsal ends.

38
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:13,120
I don't know if there are family reasons or what, but it isn't good in a band where people really need

39
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,220
to feel they're part of a group.

40
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,030
Hmm.

41
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,400
There are others too, but at least that gives you an idea of what I'm up against.

42
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:24,610
Do you have any thoughts about what I can do, Lizzy?

43
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,810
That is the end of.

44
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:36,380
Okay.

45
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,690
So when you're practicing.

46
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,210
When you're practicing on your own.

47
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480
This is the kind of thing that I recommend that you do sometimes.

48
00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:50,540
So what you're going to see me do here before before I get into the answers, I'm just going to talk

49
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:57,830
about how it's a good way just to practice sometimes, because sometimes your people focus on trying

50
00:03:57,830 --> 00:04:01,580
to choose the answer instead of trying to work on their skills.

51
00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:06,070
And so if I'm doing a listening test and I'm saying, you know what?

52
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:12,490
When I'm listening to this listening test, I'm trying to listen to I'm trying to work on my skills

53
00:04:12,790 --> 00:04:19,600
of recognizing what the synonym language is that they said, right, so what I might put down on my

54
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,320
paper.

55
00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:23,250
Like for this one.

56
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:24,150
They say it.

57
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,980
Right then for the trumpeter.

58
00:05:36,410 --> 00:05:40,790
So if you notice what I did, what I actually does, I said, you know what?

59
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:45,140
I'm going to try to listen and see if I can hear and write down what's the synonym language that they

60
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:45,920
use.

61
00:05:47,690 --> 00:05:47,910
Right.

62
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,000
What are they saying?

63
00:05:49,330 --> 00:05:51,820
They said he rehearses, but he's hardly ever there.

64
00:05:52,290 --> 00:05:52,630
Right.

65
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:53,980
So 27 is a synonym.

66
00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:54,710
For what?

67
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:55,450
Which answer?

68
00:05:55,450 --> 00:05:56,140
Choice.

69
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:03,860
Right.

70
00:06:03,890 --> 00:06:06,770
That's going to be answer is going to be did a good job.

71
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:09,360
All right.

72
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,280
Now, how about 28?

73
00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:18,090
28 is be great.

74
00:06:18,130 --> 00:06:19,150
29.

75
00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:23,580
29 is e.

76
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:25,900
In 30.

77
00:06:36,970 --> 00:06:38,270
Right is f.

78
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:55,100
Very.

79
00:06:55,130 --> 00:07:02,040
ZEFF But as you can see with this kind of question, it's not it's not difficult to understand what

80
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:09,270
you have to do, but you just have to be able to listen for and pick synonym or pick paraphrasing language.

81
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,860
That's all they're doing.

82
00:07:12,050 --> 00:07:12,470
Right.

83
00:07:12,770 --> 00:07:14,200
And they're going to do they do that.

84
00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:16,130
That's the only way they do this question.

85
00:07:16,340 --> 00:07:19,760
And that's how they make it hard, because it goes in order.

86
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,180
Right.

87
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,340
It goes in order.

88
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:28,820
But I think I think to really get to really, really get good at this question, work on this skill

89
00:07:28,820 --> 00:07:32,510
of being able to recognize and pick out synonym language.

90
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:36,880
Great work on doing it that way sometimes.

91
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:39,520
Does anybody have any questions?

92
00:07:48,590 --> 00:07:48,940
All right.

93
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:51,890
Now we're going to go through this last part.

94
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Which is section.

95
00:07:56,870 --> 00:07:57,470
Section four.
