  1. 1What 'choose the true sentences' is
  2. 2Choose the true sentences 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: Elige las cinco frases verdaderas. [5] → Choose the five true sentences.

Short example: 3 of the 6 sentences are true

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

Vas a escuchar a Irene, que creó una aplicación para compartir comida.

  1. Elige las tres frases verdaderas. A. Irene tuvo la idea cuando era estudiante. B. En la aplicación la comida se vende barata. C. La mayoría de los usuarios son estudiantes. D. Irene se sorprendió al ver quién la usa. E. El ayuntamiento ayuda a financiar el proyecto. F. La aplicación ya funciona en otras ciudades.

Hace tres años, mientras estudiaba Económicas, me di cuenta de que en mi residencia se tiraba muchísima comida. Así nació la aplicación: los vecinos publican lo que les sobra y otros lo recogen gratis. Al principio pensé que la usarían sobre todo estudiantes, pero me equivoqué: la mayoría de los usuarios son familias. No ganamos dinero con ella; nos financiamos con ayudas del ayuntamiento. Mi próximo objetivo es llevarla a otras ciudades, aunque todavía no tenemos fecha.

Three years ago, while I was studying Economics, I realised that a huge amount of food was thrown away in my hall of residence. That is how the app was born: neighbours post what they have left over and others pick it up for free. At first I thought it would be used mainly by students, but I was wrong: most users are families. We don't make money from it; we are funded by grants from the town council. My next goal is to take it to other cities, although we don't have a date yet.

  1. A, D, E
Elige las cinco frases verdaderas.
Choose the five true sentences.
más… de lo que creía
more… than he/she thought
algo más que…
more than just…
todavía no / ya no
not yet / no longer
la mayoría de…
most of…
Remember: Not true/false: you don't mark every sentence, you only tick the true ones. A sentence is true only if all of it matches. One wrong detail makes it false.

Elige las cuatro frases verdaderas.

Vas a escuchar una entrevista con Tomás, guía de montaña en los Pirineos.

  1. Elige las cuatro frases verdaderas. A. Tomás empezó como guía solo en verano. B. Sus clientes son sobre todo montañeros expertos. C. A Tomás le preocupa que la gente no mire el tiempo. D. Hace dos años un grupo se perdió por la nieve. E. Tomás explica la seguridad antes de cada salida. F. Las explicaciones duran unos diez minutos. G. Tomás disfruta viendo a alguien llegar a la cima. H. Tomás piensa dejar su trabajo pronto.

Llevo doce años trabajando como guía, aunque al principio solo era un trabajo de verano. Hoy en día la mayoría de mis clientes no son expertos: son familias que quieren conocer la montaña sin riesgos. Lo que más me preocupa es que mucha gente sube sin mirar el tiempo. Hace dos años tuvimos que rescatar a un grupo que salió con niebla. Por eso ahora, antes de cada salida, dedico media hora a explicar las normas de seguridad. ¿Lo mejor del trabajo? Ver la cara de alguien que sube hasta arriba por primera vez.

I have been working as a guide for twelve years, although at first it was only a summer job. Nowadays most of my clients are not experts: they are families who want to get to know the mountains without risks. What worries me most is that many people go up without checking the weather. Two years ago we had to rescue a group that set off in fog. That is why now, before each outing, I spend half an hour explaining the safety rules. The best thing about the job? Seeing the face of someone who gets all the way up for the first time.

  1. A, C, E, G
The list rewords the audio: Sube hasta arriba becomes llegar a la cima. Match the meaning, not the words.

Do

  • Tick exactly the number asked.
  • Match synonyms, not identical words.
  • Check every detail: who, when, how much.

Don't

  • Choose a sentence that is half true.
  • Confuse what they thought with what happened.
  • Trust a word heard in another context.
