I want to play a game.

How good is your English?

Let's test it.

This is a listening challenge.

I have 10 questions for you.

To answer each question, you will listen to an audio file.

And based on that audio file,

you will choose the correct answer.

Then I will give you the correct answer and the transcript and you can check if your answer was correct or not.

Now, this is a game and a challenge.

What do I mean?

The questions will start from a very easy one to the most difficult one.

So number one is the easiest and number 10 is the most difficult.

Every one question gets more difficult and more challenging.

We are going to see if you can keep up.

Now, do you see the stars?

For every correct answer, you get one star.

And if your answer is not correct,

you don't get any stars.

It's officially a game.

At the end of this video,

you're going to let everyone know how many stars you got.

One star, five stars, six stars, or maybe 10 stars.

All right, enough talking.

Let's start with number one.

Very easy, very simple.

This one is the easiest.

Here's the question that you're going to answer.

What did the speaker have for breakfast?

Coffee and eggs, tea and bread, or juice and fruit?

Let's listen.

Today is Monday.

I woke up at seven o'clock in the morning.

I stayed in bed for a few minutes and then got up.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and got dressed.

Before breakfast, I thought about what to eat.

Some people like coffee and eggs in the morning.

Others prefer juice and fruit.

I like simple food.

So I had breakfast at home.

I drank tea and ate some bread.

After breakfast, I cleaned the table and went to work.

That was very easy.

Look at the script.

The speaker said, I drank tea and ate some bread.

So the correct answer is option B, tea and bread.

So if your answer to this question was correct, you get a star.

Let's go to question two.

This is slightly more challenging.

Here's the question.

Why did the speaker stay at home?

They were tired, the weather was bad or they had too much work.

Let's listen.

Yesterday was a very cold day.

It was windy and the weather was not nice at all.

I looked outside and saw dark clouds.

Some days, when people are very busy,

they stay at home because they have too much work.

Other days, people stay at home because they are tired and want to rest.

Yesterday was different.

I wanted to go outside,

but I decided to stay at home instead.

The cold wind made me change my mind.

I stayed inside, watched TV for a while, and relaxed.

See, a bit more challenging.

Have a look at the script

This is what the speaker said Yesterday was very cold

And then the speaker said I decided to stay at home instead Why?

Because it was cold So the correct answer is Option B The weather was bad

Easy Another star If your answer was correct Are you ready for the next one?

It's going to be more challenging Here's the question Why did the speaker walk to work today?

the bus was crowded, the bus didn't arrive,

or they woke up late.

Let's give it a go.

I usually take the bus to work every day because it is fast and easy.

I like sitting on the bus and listening to music.

Some days, the bus does not come on time.

Other days, people wake up late and miss the bus.

Today, however, the bus was very crowded.

There was no space to sit or stand comfortably.

I did not want to wait.

The weather was nice and sunny,

so I decided to walk to a to work instead.

A bit more challenging, but still quite easy.

This was the script and this is what the speaker said.

Today, however, the bus was very crowded.

So the correct answer is option A, the bus was crowded.

Easy.

Another star if your answer was correct.

So far, if you answered correctly,

you may have three stars.

Let's continue with number four, a bit more challenging.

Why did the speaker return home on Sunday?

Option A, they were bored.

Option B, they had work.

Or Option C, their cousin was busy.

Last weekend was nice.

I traveled to another city to visit my cousin.

We were happy to see each other.

100

We talked a lot, laughed,

101

and watched movies at home.

102

The time passed very fast.

103

On Sunday, I wanted to return home.

104

Not because I was bored or that my cousin got busy.

105

I wanted to stay longer,

106

but I had work early,

107

so I returned home on Sunday evening.

108

I needed to wake up early the next day.

109

I said goodbye to my cousin and went back home to rest.

110

Simple.

111

Look at the script.

112

The speaker said, I wanted to stay longer,

113

but I had to work early.

114

Done.

115

Which was the correct answer?

116

Option B.

117

They had work to do.

118

Okay.

119

From here on, things are gonna get hot.

120

Let's get to question five.

121

It's a very interesting question.

122

How did the speaker feel when they received the email?

123

Angry, surprised, or confused?

124

Let's have a listen.

125

Last month, I applied for a job that I really wanted.

126

The position was a good match for my experience,

127

and the company was well known.

128

I spent a lot of time preparing my application and felt hopeful after I sent it.

129

After that, I waited for a long time.

130

Days passed, then weeks passed,

131

and I didn't receive any reply.

132

I started to feel a little angry at first because no one contacted me.

133

Later, I felt confused and unsure about what would happen.

134

I slowly began to believe that I had not been chosen.

135

However, just when I had stopped thinking about it,

136

I received an email inviting me to an interview.

137

I did not expect it at all.

138

The message surprised me, and it made me feel more confident about myself and my abilities.

139

That was saucy, wasn't it?

140

What's the correct answer?

141

Let's look at the script.

142

This is what the speaker said.

143

However, just when I had stopped thinking about it,

144

I received an email inviting me to an interview.

145

So the speaker had stopped thinking about it and was like, okay, that's done.

146

It's not going to happen.

147

All of a sudden there was an email.

148

What?

149

What kind of feeling?

150

Surprised.

151

The speaker was surprised.

152

So another star for those who have answered correctly.

153

How many stars?

154

So far, we've covered five questions.

155

So if you've answered all of them,

156

you may have five stars.

157

Now, these were easy questions.

158

That was a warm-up.

159

The juicy questions are coming up.

160

Are you ready for them?

161

How difficult can they be?

162

Let's see question six.

163

Why was the final decision delayed?

164

Option A, the team disagreed personally.

165

Option B, the plan lacked details.

166

Or option C.

167

there were concerns about time

168

and money let's listen during the team meeting everyone sat together

169

to talk about a new project the project plan was explained step by step

170

and it included many details at the beginning the team felt positive no one disagreed personally

171

and the plan did not seem unclear or confusing as the meeting went on people started asking more questions

172

Some team members talked about different ideas and possible problems.

173

As the discussion continued, some team members raised concerns about the budget and the timeline.

174

They worried about how much money the project would need and whether there was enough time to finish it.

175

Interesting, right?

176

Let's have a look at the script.

177

This is what the speaker said.

178

As the discussion continued, some team members raised concerns about what?

179

about budget and timeline.

180

Budget, money, timeline, time.

181

So the correct answer would be option C.

182

There were concerns about time and money.

183

Another star if your answer was correct.

184

Now let's get to the next one.

185

Question 7 guys.

186

What change did the speaker make?

187

We're talking about changes.

188

Their job, their working method or their schedule.

189

Let's listen.

190

For many years I thought multitasking was the best way to work.

191

I believed it helped me finish things faster.

192

I often answered emails, wrote reports and listened to meetings at the same time.

193

I did this every day at work.

194

I did not change my job and my daily schedule stayed almost the same.

195

However, over time, I noticed problems.

196

I felt stressed, tired and unfocused.

197

I made more mistakes and my work was not as good as before.

198

After thinking about it, I decided to change how I work.

199

Now I focus on one task at a time and my work quality has improved.

200

I feel calmer, more organized, and more productive.

201

Now, the reason why these questions are getting more difficult is not because the audio file is more difficult,

202

or it's not because the grammar or the new vocabulary being used are more difficult.

203

As you have noticed, the reason why it's difficult is because now you need to analyze the information.

204

The answer is not very direct.

205

You need to analyze and extract the answer.

206

So, with that being said,

207

let's have a look at the script.

208

This is what the speaker said.

209

Now, I focus on one task at a time,

210

and my work quality has improved.

211

What does this show?

212

Does it show that their schedule has changed?

213

No. Does it show that their job has changed?

214

No. But the way the speaker does the job has changed,

215

focusing on one thing at a time.

216

See how I'm getting to the answer?

217

And the answer is B, their working method.

218

Instead of multitasking, now the speaker is focusing on one thing at a time.

219

Let's go to question 8.

220

We're getting to the end of the test.

221

From now on, the last questions are C1, C2, advanced questions.

222

The first C1 question here.

223

What is the speaker mainly describing?

224

The audience's reaction, the event's budget,

225

or the difference between appearance and reality?

226

Let's listen.

227

At first glance, the event looked very successful.

228

Many people came, the place was full,

229

and everything started on time.

230

From the outside, it seemed perfect.

231

The audience looked happy, and no one talked about money or the event's budget.

232

Some people only saw the good side.

233

They focused on the smiles and the nice atmosphere.

234

The audience's reaction was positive,

235

and everything looked well planned.

236

However, behind the scenes, there were communication problems,

237

last-minute changes, and a lot of pressure on the staff.

238

Many things went wrong quietly.

239

The team had to work very hard to fix problems that people could not see.

240

This showed a big difference between what people saw and what really happened.

241

It was a very short audio file,

242

but again, analyzing and choosing the correct answer is the difficult part.

243

If you are familiar with the IELTS Listening Test,

244

or if you want to prepare for the IELTS Listening Test one day,

245

this is the exercise you need to do to receive the information.

246

That's the easy part.

247

To analyze and choose the correct answer.

248

That's the challenging part.

249

Now, look at this script.

250

This is what the speaker said.

251

However, behind the scenes, there are communication problems,

252

last-minute changes, and a lot of pressure on the staff.

253

behind the scenes that is clue one a lot of the things were going wrong behind the scenes

254

so not on the stage but behind the scenes not the appearance

255

but what was going on in the background

256

so looking back at the options the only viable option here would be option c the difference between appearance

257

and reality the event appeared successful everything was good the venue was full but what was happening in the background,

258

that was the real problem.

259

Another star for you if you've answered correctly.

260

Let's move on to question nine.

261

265

Question 9.

266

Why did opinions about the proposal change?

267

Public criticism, detailed expert analysis, or lack of interest?

268

Let's listen.

269

At the beginning, many people liked the proposal.

270

It sounded new and exciting,

271

and it promised good results in the future.

272

People talked positively about it and showed strong support.

273

Later, different opinions started to appear.

274

Some people thought the change happened because of public criticism,

275

while others believed there was a lack of interest over time.

276

These ideas were discussed, but they were not the main reason.

277

However, once experts examined the details more carefully,

278

concerns emerged about feasibility potential risks specialists looked closely at the facts numbers

279

and possible problems after this detailed review many people began to change their minds

280

and think more carefully about the proposal let's look at the

281

script however once experts examined the details more carefully concerns emerged about feasibility

282

and potential risks which option experts did more analysis

283

and raised some concerns that would be option b detailed expert analysis

284

that was what changed the decision about the proposal

285

that was the ninth star

286

if you've answered everything correctly you may have nine stars by

287

now let's go for the last one i try to make this the most difficult one of this video

288

let's have a look at the question this is the question what's the speaker's main concern legal problems,

289

unintended negative effects, or high financial costs.

290

Let's go.

291

The policy was introduced with good intentions.

292

It was designed to promote fairness and equality and to help people who need support.

293

At first, many believed it would create positive change.

294

Some people worried about legal problems and others talked about high financial costs.

295

These issues were mentioned in discussions,

296

but they were not the main focus of the speaker.

297

The real real concern was about the future.

298

The long-term effects of the policy are still unclear.

299

Without careful implementation, it may unintentionally reinforce existing inequalities and harm the very groups it aims to support.

300

Because of this risk, the speaker believes the policy must be handled very carefully.

301

How was it?

302

Let's have a look at the script.

303

Let's see if you get the last star.

304

Without careful implementation, this is what the speaker said,

305

it may unintentionally reinforce existing inequalities and harm the very groups it aims to support.

306

Wow.

307

However, let me say that it's easy to understand what the answer is.

308

There are some unintentional things going on if the implementation is not careful.

309

That's what the speaker is trying to say.

310

And the correct answer would be legal problems?

311

No, there is no discussion of any legal problems here.

312

And there is no discussion of any financial costs per se.

313

But the speaker is saying if the implementation is not careful,

314

we may unintentionally do the exact opposite of what we're trying to do.

315

So that is option B, unintended negative effects.

316

That was the 10th star.

317

Okay, all right, let me know.

318

How many correct answers have you had?

319

How many stars did you get?
