Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #46022 Short Permission
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

It's never okay to take somebody's picture without telling them or without asking them for permission before you do it. I think they're respectable and the decent thing to do is to let that person know and make sure they're comfortable with you taking their picture. A lot of people hate having their picture taken by themselves or by others. So you don't want to put anybody in a difficult situation or make them feel uneasy about it. Also you should really let them know if you're going to be posting it up on any kind of social media like Facebook or Instagram. Just let them know that other people are also going to see this picture and make sure they're familiar with what that means as well. That's a fair thing to do. So yeah never take somebody's picture without permission.

Explanation: While the speaker mentions that many people dislike having their picture taken, the focus is not on making them comfortable but rather on the importance of asking for permission before taking their picture.

Option 2: "Take permission before taking someone's picture."

Explanation: Although the speaker emphasizes the need for permission, this option does not capture the full essence of what the speaker considers fair, which includes informing individuals about potential social media posting.

Option 4: "Always ask others to take your picture."

Explanation: This option misrepresents the speaker's message, which is about asking for permission to take someone else's picture, not about asking others to take your own picture.
