Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #35573 Short Blood 2
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

I hate the sight of blood. Looking at it makes me go all weak at the knees. I can't even look at my own blood. I don't know why. The thing I hate most is giving blood for a medical check. I fainted once after I saw my blood in a small bottle. If I have a nose bleed, I have to sit down for 30 minutes before I feel better. It's impossible for me to watch operations on TV. I wish I could donate blood to others. I can't. I know giving blood is really important, but I’m not brave enough. One thing about blood I do find interesting is blood types. I think your blood type can affect your personality. I know that in some countries, people with blood type A would not be a good romantic match for someone with blood type O.

What is my attitude to blood?

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the speaker's experience as described in the text, where they mention fainting after seeing their blood in a bottle. It aligns with the overall theme of the speaker's fear and aversion to blood.

Option 1: "I can't watch it on TV, but I can watch it in real life."

Explanation: The text states that the speaker finds it impossible to watch operations on TV, indicating a strong aversion to blood. Therefore, this option contradicts the speaker's expressed feelings.

Option 2: "I am brave enough to donate blood because I know it is important."

Explanation: The speaker explicitly mentions a lack of bravery when it comes to donating blood, despite acknowledging its importance. This option misrepresents the speaker's attitude.

Option 3: "I got the nosebleeds because I was sick."

Explanation: The text does not mention that the speaker's nosebleeds are due to being sick. Instead, it describes the speaker's reaction to blood, which is unrelated to illness.
