Sorry, but the answer for 6 seems to be strong It says "daily practice meant to lower heart rate . But the question for 6... "finding into playing an instrument..." and if you look thoroughly to the transcription there is noted " Learning the instrument makes you smarter" So the answer for 6 should be C

*PART 3* 20:33 Interviewer: Tonight we're talking to map maker Sally Gordon, a marine biologist Mark Tompkins about making maps of the ocean floor. Sally, how did get started on your career. Tell us about your first expedition. Woman: As a recent graduate, I was fortunate to receive a full paid internship aboard an exploration vessel to participate in sona mapping. I was delighted to be selected but I was extremely nervous about living at sea for three weeks. Fortunately everyone was really friendly and helpful to me as the new kid on board. On my very first mapping expedition we collected some data, which really changed the way that they thought about geology in that area and from then on I was completely hooked and inspired by the thought of repeating the success. Now a lot of my shipmates call me the mapping queen. Interviewer: Mark, how far have we progressed in terms of researching the ocean floor? Man: Here's a troubling fact. Most of us know more about planets than we do about the depths of the ocean and yet with volcanoes, deep valleys, mountain peaks and vast plains. The landscape of the ocean floor is as varied and magnificent as it is on the surface of some astronomical body. 95 percent of the ocean floor remains unexplored, which is nothing compared to how small a part of space we have reached, of course, but mapping the ocean floor is very technologically challenging and is progressing much more slowly than space exploration. Interview: Sally, I know you were wanting to make a point about public attitudes towards deep sea exploration. Woman: Yes, thanks! I do think it's challenging to get the public engaged about deep sea exploration. I think you can get people excited about some parts of marine science. People love to see footage of coral reefs for example. These are bright well-lit portions of the ocean but really just its skin, but the depths are so far removed from people physically so it's a case of out sight and out of mind I suppose, which is a shame and so unnecessary. Interviewer: Here's a question for both of you. Where does the funding for these projects come from? Man: The government funding has tended to dry up in recent years and a lot of corporations have really taken up some of the slack our project is financed by Allenson insurance. It's a very interesting model for ocean science because it's like instead of sponsoring a football team you're sponsoring a very important scientific mission that really can make a difference and people notice that. Woman: It's an interesting development. I think corporates are starting to see the opportunity here for getting massive brand exposure in an area that aren't too many competitors and I don't think a government-funded project could have worked at the speed that we've been working at. Man: There are a lot of mineral resources under the sea. Interviewer: Mark, aren't some nations particularly island nations rushing in to exploit this? Man: Some are. Though, of course, without knowing the shape of the ocean floor, we'll never realize the economic viability of these resources. Some islands nations have been trying to extend their territorial sea claims further. Under one interpretation of maritime law, I think who owns these resources is a huge issue and particularly who might be responsible for any damage done to the ocean if these resources are mined, who would be liable. Interviewer: With all the new technology our knowledge of the ocean is increasing. Where do you both see this leading? Woman: More awareness leads to more engagement and I hope more responsibility. People would be seeing landscapes everywhere as gorgeous as the himalayas or the grand canyon and they'd be seeing them for the first time because these are places that no human had ever seen before. We've already witnessed this with photos of galaxies coming back from the latest space probes. Man: I think the only reason we haven't seen these places is we haven't had the will to go find them. It'll make people think before they're careless about pollution or eating seafood unsustainably because they really know how beautiful the ocean is and that it's not just a big dumping ground. It's our planet. Not some distant galaxy. We're talking about here after all.

Doing one test every night until the actual exam really seems to work! I went from a 27 or 26 out of 30 to a, perfect 30/30! I will do every single test avalible on this CHANEL, BECAUSE I NEED AMAZING RESULTS!!!!

[@yannnavarro1553]

30/30 .... I am shocked ! I usually turn around 25/30, a few times 22 and sometimes 27 but never had I got 30/30 even though, I admit I had to listen a third time for questions 24, 28 and 30 but still I am kind of happy about myself ! 💪😃

*AUDIO SCRIPTS* *PART 1* *Extract 1* 1:47 Woman: Sue Lynn's work had obviously been displayed with the aim of bringing out the groundbreaking nature of her achievements. The thing was she began to look less like pioneer than a disciple of everyone around her. Surrounded as she was by the work of her fellow artists. To me her carvings recalled the aesthetics of other sculptors too. Although more as a passing tribute to them than deliberate copying and she'd created all those sculptures in the open air, surrounded by the wild landscape of the coast. So, I do wonder if something was lost by transposing them into the confines of a gallery. Man: Hmm, there was more of other sculptors work included that I'd anticipated given the exhibition was advertised as her work. I'd never really seen the work of all these artists exhibited side by side before, even though I've been an avid follower of their careers. Seeing what Sue's contemporaries were up to was enlightening for me and in fact the work I instinctively gravitated to was actually not hers but another artists which put her work in the shade a bit for me. His animals figures were captivating. Woman: Hmmm, interesting. *Extract 2* 4:46 Man: It's strange that more research is done into negative emotions than into laughter. Maybe researchers expect to learn more about people that way. Plus, some academics think laughter isn't a heavyweight enough topic for research. Woman: Yet, it's actually a rather fruitful area as laughter is essentially social. People laugh more in a group than on their own. Maybe that's why warm-up comedians appears before a live TV show is recorded. It's easier to make an audience laugh later on if they've already laughed together. Man: Research also shows the physical environment plays a part. People laugh more easily if they're crowded together in rows. Apparently, sitting around tables shifts people's attention away from the person on stage. It tells us a lot about interaction but there again in one experiment a joke that made one group laugh left another cold, although they were in the same room. Woman: The areas of the brain responsible for basic behavior like reflex actions and breathing also control laughing. Other brain functions are situated in different areas perhaps because laughter is a basic behavior. That's why once a laugh has been triggered it can't be stopped. *Extract 3* 7:45 Man: Hey Jan, how are the piano lessons going? Woman: Oh, early days yet really, just 10 months. I wonder sometimes how I've stuck at it this far to be honest. But it's never felt boring and I'd been warned even before starting that progress wouldn't happen overnight. I do find my early pieces quite simple now though and I'm taking the later harder stuff in my stride. Something which has spilled over into everyday life. Things that seemed insurmountable don't anymore there's a heavy memory load isn't there especially initially when you're consciously thinking of every note but I'm playing more naturally now which is a real breakthrough. Man: Great! You might find other things kicking in too. Well, according to the latest research that is daily practice is meant to lower heart rate and blood pressure making you more relaxed as well as encouraging innovation and lateral ways of thinking. The health claims don't seem to be borne out by my experience. I get pretty anxious when learning something new. I'm so aware of my errors. Studies also say learning an instrument makes you smarter applying the theory uses similar processing skills to maths I reckon. Though, judging from your expression I clearly haven't convinced you of the link.

@VietFCE, what's the book these tests are taken from?

[@lehoangngan5990]

Hi, I wonder that about question 6, what is the difference between "encouraging innovation" and "foster creative thinking"? Because I found it quite similar but the answer is not about "foster creative thinking". Thank you so much for your help

[@VietFCE]

The question 6 is asking which research findings..does the man question >>> notice which one the man question, not which one is the research findings. So C is the correct answer cause the man says "the health claims don't seem to be borne out by my experience".

[@thuvu8605]

Could you give me some advice for practicing for the listening test, I find it difficult, thank you.

[@VietFCE]

There are tips and advices that you can easily find by searching google. For me the key to improve listening is listen as much English as you can. If you find it difficult to start, you can begin with what you love or like to listen first . That'll keep you going.

[@tehyonglip9203]

The best way is by... improving the other four subjects, in my opinion listening is extremely hard, and it's intentional and fake, the only doable part is part 2. Advice: score more on other tests so you can afford to lose more in these listening papers, which isn't really testing your listening skills.
