Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #3755 Short Presentation
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

So next Wednesday you’re all going to be doing your presentations. We’ll have to be very strict about timing. Fifteen minutes each-not a minute more. It might make sense to do a practice run-through at home but that’s up to you. I’m going to ask you to put an abstract of your presentation on our course website but I‘d like you to do that after you have given your talk. Come with your slides on a memory stick-that’s the most straightforward way of dealing with things, I think. Oh, and don’t forget to bring handouts for everyone. There won’t be time to do photocopying that morning. So, any questions?

What must the students do before next Wednesday?

Option 2: "Make enough copies of their handouts"

Explanation: The text explicitly states that students should bring handouts for everyone and that there won’t be time for photocopying on the morning of the presentations. This indicates that making copies of handouts is necessary before next Wednesday.

Option 1: "Email the slides for their presentation to the tutor"

Explanation: The text does not mention anything about emailing slides to the tutor. Instead, it specifies that students should bring their slides on a memory stick. This option introduces information that is not present in the text.

Option 3: "Post an outline of their talk to the course website"

Explanation: The text indicates that students should put an abstract of their presentation on the course website, but only after they have given their talk. This option misrepresents the timing and type of submission required.

Option 4: "Practice giving their presentation"

Explanation: While the text suggests that it might make sense to do a practice run-through at home, it does not make this a requirement. Therefore, this option is not a definitive action that must be taken before next Wednesday.
