1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:07,800
Did you hear what I was talking about in terms of all of the extra talk?

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,200
Like after number 34.

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,330
After number 36, they're just talking, talking, talking, talking, talking.

4
00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:22,690
Also, something that you notice is after they gave an answer choice, they just kept talking before

5
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:24,190
they got to the next answer.

6
00:00:24,670 --> 00:00:29,470
So that's the difference between like Section three and Section four.

7
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:32,410
In Section three.

8
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:36,840
In Section three.

9
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:40,120
Hold on, Christine.

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,140
I'll get to your question.

11
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:45,240
In Section three here.

12
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:50,520
They were going from one question, then going to the next one, then going to the next one, then going

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,390
to the next one.

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,940
There was not any extra talk.

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:56,470
Right.

16
00:00:56,490 --> 00:01:03,030
But then when you get to section number four, that's how they that's how they raise the level.

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:05,740
All right.

18
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:07,000
What did Christina say?

19
00:01:12,430 --> 00:01:18,280
Justina understood that I know how to write musical instruments correctly.

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:19,990
Yeah.

21
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:21,410
Well, well.

22
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:28,050
Well, Christina, they only gave the only gave to musical instruments.

23
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:31,860
And actually, to be honest with you, is violin.

24
00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:33,270
Christina, where are you from?

25
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:35,130
You use cova.

26
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:36,700
Are you from?

27
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:38,770
Russia, Ukraine?

28
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:40,460
Cristina.

29
00:01:40,460 --> 00:01:41,330
Where are you from?

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,070
Belarus is.

31
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:50,980
It is via land, via land in Belarus.

32
00:01:54,070 --> 00:01:56,320
Yeah, I know where Belarus is, but it's violating.

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,870
The same is violated as violate, isn't it.

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:02,930
Right.

35
00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:04,290
It's not any it's not.

36
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:06,580
You all call violence something differently in Belarus.

37
00:02:06,610 --> 00:02:07,210
Okay.

38
00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:09,430
What do you what do you what do you call it?

39
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:11,020
What do you call it in Belarus?

40
00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:25,320
So 31 was violated.

41
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:29,800
32.

42
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:31,780
But see, everybody.

43
00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:34,090
This is the this is the test.

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,150
The understand this this is the test.

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:37,990
Okay.

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,760
Vile.

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,200
Vile.

48
00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:43,080
Violence.

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,630
OC close.

50
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,780
But everybody, this is the test.

51
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:50,000
How do I know?

52
00:02:50,180 --> 00:02:52,340
How do I know if you're very good at English?

53
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:54,110
Because that's what you have to understand.

54
00:02:54,850 --> 00:03:01,390
How do I how do I separate somebody who can get a nine versus somebody who can get a seven?

55
00:03:02,930 --> 00:03:09,800
There have to be some questions that people that are capable of getting an eight and nine are able to

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,170
get that others cannot.

57
00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:14,380
Do you understand that?

58
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:18,870
The that's how the test is designed.

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,820
There have to be questions that somebody for a seven that somebody that's capable of getting a seven

60
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:30,810
can do that somebody getting a five cannot do.

61
00:03:32,310 --> 00:03:37,890
And then there also are some questions that people that can get a seven that only somebody who gets

62
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:39,420
a nine is able to do.

63
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,510
That's how they separate you.

64
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:47,540
So, for example, you may you may never have heard of the word clarinet before.

65
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:55,030
But if you're a if you're a good at English, you can you can you can sound out and spell a word that

66
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:56,530
you have not heard before.

67
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:03,810
Now somebody that's able to do that, that person can probably get an 8.5 or nine.

68
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,620
Okay.

69
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,760
So 31 is via Leon was 32 to anybody.

70
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,890
32.

71
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,810
32 is energy.

72
00:04:22,820 --> 00:04:23,600
Good job.

73
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Right.

74
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:41,800
It says his compositions were full of energy.

75
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:44,880
For love is synonym for great deal.

76
00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:52,920
Yes, Natasha.

77
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:54,570
They will mark that wrong.

78
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,710
If you don't spell it correctly, is Mark wrong and there's no half score.

79
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:03,740
Again.

80
00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:04,130
The teacher.

81
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:05,630
That's how they separate you.

82
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,610
33.

83
00:05:08,890 --> 00:05:10,000
Who has 33.

84
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,310
Complex.

85
00:05:14,890 --> 00:05:15,600
Right.

86
00:05:15,610 --> 00:05:18,250
They say it, although it is.

87
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:30,660
Right.

88
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,730
That was that was synonym for them saying.

89
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,650
Synonym for them saying also.

90
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:37,480
34.

91
00:05:40,530 --> 00:05:45,600
34 is opera and 34.

92
00:05:45,630 --> 00:05:50,430
This was a 34 was a situation.

93
00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:54,220
34 was a situation where they switched the word order.

94
00:05:55,740 --> 00:05:59,130
They said the end of the sentence, the austere.

95
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:01,680
And then they say, this is an opera.

96
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:06,290
Look number 35.

97
00:06:10,430 --> 00:06:12,380
35 is disturbing.

98
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,830
Now, how do they make number 35?

99
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:18,520
Difficult.

100
00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:20,290
This is what they did.

101
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,050
After they gave the answer after they after they gave the answer for number 34, they talked.

102
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,390
And they just kept talking for about 30 seconds.

103
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,160
Before they got to number 35.

104
00:06:36,190 --> 00:06:37,690
Why do they do that?

105
00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:42,700
After number 34, they kept talking for maybe maybe it wasn't 30, maybe 15 or 20 seconds.

106
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:43,900
They just kept talking.

107
00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:52,980
The reason why they did that was for the students that don't have who's English is really not up to

108
00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:53,640
par.

109
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:55,770
They're trying to make you lose track.

110
00:06:57,650 --> 00:06:58,190
Och.

111
00:06:58,850 --> 00:07:00,530
They're trying to make you lose track.

112
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,740
OC 36.

113
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,090
36 is clarinet.

114
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:24,430
And spot

115
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,050
clarinet.

116
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:30,720
All right.

117
00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:31,970
37.

118
00:07:37,630 --> 00:07:39,100
They might get 37.

119
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:42,930
Okay.

120
00:07:46,630 --> 00:07:48,820
37 is definitely diversity.

121
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:55,880
Again.

122
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,800
What they did was after number 36, they talked talk, talk, talk, talk.

123
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:02,960
And when they're doing that.

124
00:08:04,180 --> 00:08:10,330
What the what the aisles creators are doing is saying, let's see who can see who can see who can keep

125
00:08:10,330 --> 00:08:13,330
track and let's see who cannot keep track.

126
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:19,350
Let's see who gets lost in the conversation and then see who can stay with the conversation.

127
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,590
That's what they're doing.

128
00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:29,710
And that's how they separate scores, because really, once you get lost, it's very difficult to catch

129
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:30,670
back up again.

130
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,560
Who has number 38.

131
00:08:38,610 --> 00:08:39,630
Physics.

132
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:43,840
39.

133
00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:51,310
Anybody have 39.

134
00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:54,900
Very nice.

135
00:08:54,970 --> 00:08:56,080
Great job.

136
00:08:59,290 --> 00:09:00,970
Very nice dance.

137
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:11,000
And number 40 is Olympics.

138
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:14,750
All right.

139
00:09:15,850 --> 00:09:23,380
So that's how we that's just for section number four.

140
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:30,860
That's what you have to really be careful with in section number four is you have to be careful.

141
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,220
You have to be careful with being able to stay with the conversation.

142
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:37,610
Okay.

143
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:38,720
All right.

144
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,640
So before I stop.

145
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:44,320
Does it have to be capital?

146
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,830
Technically, Natasha, it does, but actually for, for it's listening.

147
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:56,080
My best advice and what is acceptable to the graders is just write everything in caps.

148
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:00,320
Right.

149
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,590
Right.

150
00:10:00,590 --> 00:10:02,150
Everything in all caps.

151
00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:05,250
Right.

152
00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:06,330
That's acceptable.

153
00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:13,610
So.

154
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:19,880
Yeah.

155
00:10:19,890 --> 00:10:20,580
Like Olympics.

156
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:21,330
Exactly.

157
00:10:22,290 --> 00:10:22,760
You are right.

158
00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:25,890
Olympics in all caps where I clear a net in all caps.

159
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:26,700
Right.

160
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:27,990
Energy in all caps.

161
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:29,850
Where I violin in all caps.

162
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:33,210
You go write your answers in all caps.

163
00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:43,550
That's that's something directly from the company, the British Council.

164
00:10:43,550 --> 00:10:44,840
And they say you can do that.

165
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,030
Okay.

166
00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:48,480
All right.

167
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,990
So thank you very much for joining me today.

168
00:10:52,530 --> 00:11:00,480
I hope going through this listening test together gave you a little bit more information and understanding

169
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,960
of how you can manage doing the aisles listening.

170
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,950
All right.

171
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:08,970
Thanks a lot and have a great day.

172
00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:26,410
In terms of US-China.

173
00:11:27,650 --> 00:11:33,560
There is I did a live listening class on a map already before and in the future I'll try to do one also

174
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:34,220
again.

175
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,900
I'll do another one.

176
00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:43,220
But there in the course there are some live class recordings that are uploaded that actually cover a

177
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:43,730
map.

178
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,770
So if you want to if you can't see that until I do another one.

179
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:52,690
But I have done it before.

180
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,090
This book was came this this test came from Cambridge, Ill.

181
00:12:00,210 --> 00:12:01,110
14.

182
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:04,380
This is the book that just came out in June.

183
