Question

Listen to three people telling stories connected to speaking a foreign language. Match two sentences to each speaker (1-3). There are two sentences you do not need.

Answer

  1. 1 (He gave directions in Chinese.)
  2. no match (Students may say conversation 2, but the parents fell in love on the cruise ship and settled in Rio later.)
  3. 2 (She’s Brazilian, but speaks German at home and has Russian and Turkish parents!)
  4. 3 (He wanted to ask about the people of the inner forest but asked about people with tasty insides; his colleague wanted to say the food was delicious, but ended up saying he liked eating children!)
  5. 2 (The mum lived in Germany for a while and had picked up some German; the dad knew German from school. It became their lingua franca.)
  6. no match (Students may say conversation 3, because of the comments about eating children, but this would be incorrect.)
  7. 1 (The experience of speaking Chinese with a native speaker made them seek out language exchange partners.)
  8. 3 (They need local people to act as guides or cooks for the film crew.)
