Why
is
it
necessary
to
dump
fuel
in
some
situations?
Explain
it.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Now, considering the three situations you heard in part 3:
-‐ How
would
you
compare
them?
You
may
want
to
compare
them
in
terms
of
severity,
possible
solutions
and
ways
of
prevention.
Which
one
do
you
think
is
the
most
difficult
to
deal
with?
Why?
Thank you. That is the end of Part Three. Let’s move on to the last part of the test, part four.
In
this
part,
you
will
tell
me
what
you
can
see
in
this
picture
(show
the
picture
to
the
test
taker)
and
what
you
think
is
happening
in
it.
After
that,
I
will
ask
you
some
questions.
(Pause)
Look
at
the
picture
carefully.
You
may
take
a
few
moments
to
think
before
you
start
talking.
1
Please
describe
this
picture
to
me.
If
necessary:
-‐What
do
you
think
was
happening
when
this
picture
was
taken?
/
What’s
happening?
2
Choose
one:
What
do
you
think
happened
before
this
picture
was
taken?;
or
What
do
you
think
these
people
were
doing
before
this
picture
was
taken?
What
do
you
think
was
happening
before
this
picture
was
taken?
Can
you
create
a
short
story
based
on
this
picture?
Use
your
imagination.
3
Imagine
that
this
picture
has
just
been
taken:
What
do
you
think
will
happen
next?
4) How
pilots
get
prepared
for
such
situation?
5) Why can we see some flames coming out from the under part of the airplane?
6)
“Fuel
jettison
before
a
gear
up
landing
and
requesting
fire
fighters
to
spray
foam
on
the
runway
before
landing
reduces
significantly
the
chances
of
fire
during
the
touchdown.”
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Ok, thank you! So this is the end of the test. Thank you very much for coming.
