What it is: You hear two people talk. For each sentence, tick who says it: one name, the other, or Ambos (both). 1 mark each.
The instruction on the paper: Marca [✓] una opción correcta para cada una de las siguientes frases. → Tick one correct option for each of the following sentences.

Example: ¿Quién piensa lo siguiente?

¿Quién piensa lo siguiente? Press play, then tap Lucía, Andrés or Ambos.

Vas a escuchar a Lucía y Andrés, que hablan sobre el teletrabajo.

  1. Ahorra tiempo en desplazamientos. A. Lucía B. Andrés C. Ambos
  2. Echa de menos a sus compañeros. A. Lucía B. Andrés C. Ambos
  3. Se concentra mejor en casa. A. Lucía B. Andrés C. Ambos
  4. Prefiere un modelo mixto. A. Lucía B. Andrés C. Ambos

Lucía: Desde que trabajo en casa, ahorro casi dos horas al día en transporte. Andrés: A mí me pasa igual, y además gasto mucho menos en gasolina. Lucía: Lo que echo de menos es tomar un café con mis compañeros. Andrés: Pues yo no; en la oficina me distraían todo el rato. Lucía: Aun así, creo que lo ideal sería ir a la oficina dos días por semana.

Lucía: Since I've been working from home, I save almost two hours a day on travel. Andrés: Same for me, and I also spend much less on petrol. Lucía: What I miss is having a coffee with my colleagues. Andrés: Well, I don't; in the office they distracted me all the time. Lucía: Even so, I think the ideal would be to go to the office two days a week.

  1. C. Ambos
  2. A. Lucía
  3. B. Andrés
  4. A. Lucía
Marca [✓] una opción correcta…
Tick one correct option…
¿A quién se refieren las siguientes afirmaciones?
Who do these statements refer to?
Ambos
Both
a mí me pasa igual / yo tampoco
same for me / me neither (= Ambos)
pues yo no / en cambio yo…
well, I don't / I, however… (one name)
Remember: The sentences reword the audio. Match the idea, then check if the other person agrees.

Who says what?

1

Names

In the reading time, note the two names; underline the idea in each sentence.

2

1st listen: who

Write the initial of who expresses each idea, in any words.

3

2nd listen: agree?

Listen for agreement: es verdad, a mí también.

4

Tick

Agree = Ambos. Contrast (pues yo no) = one name.

Names → 1st: who → 2nd: agree? → Tick

¿Quién dice qué?

Press play, then tap Elena, Javier or Ambos.

Vas a escuchar a Elena y Javier, dos estudiantes, que debaten sobre el turismo en su ciudad.

  1. Su familia se ha beneficiado del turismo. A. Elena B. Javier C. Ambos
  2. Le preocupa la subida de los alquileres. A. Elena B. Javier C. Ambos
  3. Evita ir al centro. A. Elena B. Javier C. Ambos
  4. Ha cambiado la hora de sus paseos. A. Elena B. Javier C. Ambos
  5. Quiere menos pisos turísticos. A. Elena B. Javier C. Ambos

Elena: Para mí, el turismo ha traído trabajo; mi madre abrió una tienda gracias a los visitantes. Javier: No lo niego, pero los alquileres han subido tanto que mis vecinos se han ido del barrio. Elena: Eso es verdad, y me preocupa también a mí. Javier: Además, el centro está siempre lleno; yo ya ni paseo por allí. Elena: Yo sigo paseando, pero temprano, antes de que lleguen los grupos. Javier: Creo que el ayuntamiento debería limitar los pisos turísticos. Elena: Estoy totalmente de acuerdo.

Elena: For me, tourism has brought jobs; my mum opened a shop thanks to the visitors. Javier: I don't deny it, but rents have gone up so much that my neighbours have left the area. Elena: That's true, and it worries me too. Javier: Also, the centre is always full; I don't even walk around there any more. Elena: I still walk there, but early, before the groups arrive. Javier: I think the council should limit tourist flats. Elena: I totally agree.

  1. A. Elena
  2. C. Ambos
  3. B. Javier
  4. A. Elena
  5. C. Ambos
Hidden agreement: Eso es verdad, estoy totalmente de acuerdo and a mí también all mean Ambos.

Do

  • Write initials on the 1st listen.
  • Match the idea, not the words.
  • Check agreement before ticking.

Don't

  • Tick the first speaker by default.
  • Miss a quiet yo también.
  • Tick two names instead of Ambos.
