Listening: A Radio Program About Travel

Listen to short radio programs about travel and journeys, then answer the questions.

Before you listen, read all the questions so you know what to listen for. The first time you hear the audio, try to understand the general idea — what is the program about? Do not stop if you miss a word. During the second listen, focus on finding the answers to each question. Pay close attention to numbers, times, places and names because these often hold the answers.

Key terms

key words — important words that help you understand the main topic or find answers, like names, places and numbers
gist — the general meaning or main idea of a listening text
detail — a small piece of information, like a time, a number or a name
context — the situation or topic that helps you understand what you are listening to
predict — to guess what you might hear before you listen, using the questions as clues
💡Note

Always read the questions first — they give you clues about what to listen for.

⚠️Caution

The audio plays only twice, so you must listen carefully both times.

🚫Common mistake

A common mistake is to choose an answer because one word sounds the same. Always check that the whole meaning matches what the audio said.

Rules

  1. 1Read all the questions before the audio plays.
  2. 2Listen for key words like names, places, times and numbers.
  3. 3Do not stop at unknown words — keep listening for the main idea.
  4. 4Use the second listen to check your answers and catch details you missed.
  5. 5If you are not sure, choose the answer that best matches what you heard.
