Last one was 20/30, this one is 30/30 and I listened to each part only once. I hope I’d be lucky to have such a great result at the real exam (or at lest 25+). Thank you for the opportunity to exercise.

[@VietFCE]

wow, really excellent score! Keep it up.

[@anrijsg1999]

6 was quite tricky, I was wavering between A and B, and went for B, because he said that “SOME comics MAY even begin to provoke …”, which doesn’t match with “many professionals”, whereas prior to that he said “most comics are outrageous liars”, that sounded like a better fit to me, as depending on a degree of an exaggeration, it can be equal to a lie.

[@VietFCE]

I couldn't agree more. That's why we need to be careful when choosing the answer.

[@sofiayermak6551]

This time I got the score of 27/30. I hope your videos will help me to get such a fabulous score during my listening part at the exam!

*TRANSCRIPTION PART 03* 18:00 INTERVIEWER: I'm talking to chef Heston Blumenthal. Now, Heston, most of us think that the business of eating is pretty simple, don't we? We eat things and we like the taste of them or we don't, but you reckon it's more complicated than that, don't you? CHEF: Yes, eating is a process that involves all the senses. Any notion that food is simply about taste is misguided. Try eating a beautifully cooked piece of fish off a paper plate with a plastic knife and fork - it is not the same. INTERVIEWER: So how does taste operate then? CHEF: The sense of taste can be broken down into five basic categories, all of which happen in the mouth and nowhere else. These categories are: salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami - the most recently identified taste. There is a current theory that fat is a taste but this has yet to be proved. We have up to 10,000 taste buds on the tongue and in the mouth. These regenerate, so the receptors we use today will not be the same as were used a couple of days ago. When we eat, taste buds on our tongue pick up taste but not flavour. The molecules in food that provide flavour pass up into the olfactory bulb situated between the eyes at the front of the brain. It contains hundreds of receptors that register molecules contained in everything that we eat and smell. This is where the flavour of the food is registered. INTERVIEWER: Ok, so our sense of smell is connected with flavour rather than taste? Is that what you're saying? CHEF: That's right. Smell and taste are registered in different parts of the head. There is a simple but effective and enjoyable way of demonstrating this. Have ready some table salt and biscuits, fruits or anything easy to eat. Squeeze your nostrils tightly enough to prevent breathing through them, but not so tight as to hurt. Take a good bite of biscuit or fruit and start chomping, making sure the nostrils remain clenched. You'll notice that it is impossible to perceive the flavour or smell of the food being eaten. Now, with nostrils still squeezed and food still in the mouth, lick some salt. Although it was impossible to detect the flavour of the food that was being eaten with clenched nostrils, the taste of the salt is unhindered. Finally, let go of your nostrils and notice the flavour of the food come rushing into your head-space. INTERVIEWER: I'll definitely try that some time. So, what you're saying is that all the senses can affect your experience when you eat? CHEF: Yes, the brain has to process information given to it by other senses while we are eating, sometimes with surprising results. Here's another example. A few years ago, at a sommelier school in France, trainee wine waiters were put through a routine wine tasting. Unknown to them, a white wine that they had just tasted had been dyed red with a non-flavoured food dye, then brought back out to taste and evaluate. Something very interesting happened. They all made notes on the assumption that the wine was what it looked like - red. In this case, the eyes totally influenced taste perception. INTERVIEWER: Ok, so it's not just about taste, all the senses are coming into play in different ways. CHEF: Yes, and as well as allowing us to enjoy food, the senses act as warning systems, taste being that last of the sensory barriers, and bitterness the last of the taste barriers. A natural aversion to bitterness can prevent us from eating foods that could be harmful, although it appears that we have the ability to modify such basic likes and dislikes. For example, we generally grow to like bitter foods such as tea, coffee and beer as we grow older. INTERVIEWER: What got you interested in this business of the role played by various senses in the experience of eating? Was it just professional curiosity? CHEF: Well, I began thinking about this whole subject a couple of years ago when I noticed that more and more customers at my restaurant were commenting on the fact that the red cabbage with grain-mustard ice cream served as an appetiser just got better each time they ate it. This was the only dish on the menu whose recipe had not changed over the past year. It seemed that the barrier being presented with this dish was the vivid purple colour of the cabbage, a colour not normally associated with food. To some diners, the initial difficulty of accepting this colour interfered with the appreciation of the dish, but as they got used to it, they lost their inhibition and simply enjoyed its flavour. INTERVIEWER: I see. Now, of course the sense of smell must come...

Excuse me, how much do we have to score to be considered as C1 listener?

[@VietFCE]

In the real exam, we need to get at least 18/30 correct answers to achieve C1 level (for the listening part). You can check out here for more details: www.cambridgeenglish.org/Images/210434-converting-practice-test-scores-to-cambridge-english-scale-scores.pdf

[@animeentertainment2797]

Hello guys, part 3 is considered extremely hard for me. My best score ever for this part is 4/6. Maybe my strategy for completing this part has gone wrong. I always spend all the first time listening to read all the question and understand it, then I will choose in the next turn. Do you guys have an effective way to do it well? Please share with me, many thanks guys

[@VietFCE]

For part 3, particularly, hear are some tips: + Use one minute given to read questions and answers, note down the key words + identify linking words, interviewers’ questions and other textual features that structure an interview or talk. + The multiple-choice questions often use language that paraphrases and reports the speaker’s ideas, attitudes and feelings. So you need to have a good command of the typical vocabulary used in order to fully understand the questions. + Concentrate on the question stems, rather than the options in their preparation, so that you can listen for the answer in the text and then match this to the closest option. + Listen to the whole extract carefully once through before choosing their answers. It’s a good idea to note down the answer they think is correct on the first listening but they should listen again carefully to confirm it the second time.

[@analuisa7729]

I got 26/30! Nonetheless, 2 answers were only wrong spelling (what a shame rsrsrs) and the last one (n30) I almost got right, but in the very last minute I've changed my answer... Ah, and question 6 I got wrong only because I've read without paying much attention, one single word made all the difference... Well, I hope to improve on these little matters, but I'm happy that I am getting better in the listening test :) now my scores are always in between 24-26... Still needing to improve, though.
