______________________________________________________________________________________
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.

this

think
these
people
were
doing
before
this

Use
your

4) What
are
the
possible
consequences
of
a
bird
strike?
6)
“Nowadays
bird
collisions
are
much
likely
to
happen
due
to
environmental
laws.
It
led
to
an
increased
number
of
reports,
once
wildlife
is
highly
protected”
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.
