Question

  1. You are going to listen to five people talking about contact sports. For speakers 1-5, choose each person's opinion from the list (A-H). Use the letters only once. There are three extra statements which you do not need to use.
  2. Do you think that contact sports promote violence? Why? Why not? Write a few sentences.

Answer

  1. Speaker 1 - D; Speaker 2 - C; Speaker 3 - B; Speaker 4 - A; Speaker 5 - E
  2. Yes, I believe that contact sports promote violence. Aggression is a necessary part of the game that players can't get away from and it can often result in fight on the pitch, rink, etc. Some contact sports don't just promote violence, the violence is an essential part of the sport, like boxing.
