  1. 1What 'choose the true statements' is
  2. 2Choose the true statements step by step
  3. 3In action
  4. 4Common errors
What it is: You read a list of sentences about the recording. The instruction tells you how many are true (usually five). Tick exactly that many. Each right tick = 1 mark.
The instruction on the paper: Scegli le cinque affermazioni vere. [5] → Choose the five true statements. Some papers say quattro [4].

Short example: 3 of the 6 sentences are true

The instruction here says 3, so choose 3. Then show the answer.

Ascolterai Giorgia, che parla della sua esperienza di volontariato in un canile.

  1. Scegli le tre affermazioni vere. A. Giorgia va al canile solo la domenica. B. Aiuta anche con le adozioni. C. Il suo compito è soltanto pulire. D. L'atmosfera è diversa da come pensava. E. Trova facile salutare i cani adottati. F. Il canile è fuori dal centro di Torino.

L'anno scorso ho cominciato a fare volontariato in un canile alla periferia di Torino. All'inizio ci andavo solo la domenica, adesso anche il mercoledì pomeriggio. Non mi occupo soltanto di pulire: porto a spasso i cani e aiuto con le adozioni. Mi aspettavo che fosse triste, e invece l'atmosfera è allegra. L'unica cosa che mi pesa è salutare un cane che ho seguito per mesi, anche se so che va in una famiglia.

Last year I started volunteering at a dog shelter on the outskirts of Turin. At first I only went on Sundays, now on Wednesday afternoons too. I don't only clean: I walk the dogs and help with adoptions. I expected it to be sad, but instead the atmosphere is cheerful. The only thing I find hard is saying goodbye to a dog I've looked after for months, even if I know it's going to a family.

Scegli le cinque affermazioni vere.

Remember: Not true/false: you don't mark every sentence, you only tick the true ones. Statements paraphrase the audio. Prove each choice with what you heard, then count.

Choose the true statements

1

Read every statement

Underline the detail that could be wrong: who, when, how much.

2

1st listen: tick the sure ones

Expect synonyms, not the same words.

3

2nd listen: check the doubtful ones

Watch all'inizio, non soltanto, invece.

4

Count

Exactly the number asked: five (or four).

Underline → Tick → Check → Count

Affermazioni vere: una libreria in montagna

Read the six statements, play, choose three.

Ascolterai un'intervista a Luca Ferri, che ha aperto una libreria in un piccolo paese di montagna.

  1. Scegli le tre affermazioni vere. A. Nessuno credeva nel progetto di Luca. B. La libreria ha avuto successo fin da subito. C. Luca organizza attività per diverse età. D. Gli incontri con gli autori sono in inverno. E. Luca è diventato ricco. F. Spera che i giovani non lascino il paese.

Quando ho deciso di aprire una libreria in un paese di trecento abitanti, mi hanno preso tutti per pazzo. Avevano ragione a metà: i primi due anni sono stati difficilissimi. Poi ho capito che non bastava vendere libri. Oggi organizziamo letture per bambini, un club del libro per gli anziani e, d'estate, incontri con gli autori in piazza. I turisti arrivano anche dalla città apposta. Non mi sono arricchito, questo è certo, ma il paese è più vivo. Il mio sogno? Che qualche giovane decida di restare invece di trasferirsi a Milano.

When I decided to open a bookshop in a village of three hundred people, everyone thought I was mad. They were half right: the first two years were very hard. Then I understood that selling books wasn't enough. Today we organise readings for children, a book club for the elderly and, in summer, meetings with authors in the square. Tourists even come from the city on purpose. I haven't got rich, that's for sure, but the village is livelier. My dream? That some young people decide to stay instead of moving to Milan.

  1. A, C, F

Do

  • Count: exactly the number asked.
  • Track all'inizio versus adesso.
  • Check every non, solo, mai.

Don't

  • Tick a paraphrase you can't prove.
  • Use your own knowledge of the topic.
  • Write extra letters to be safe.
