Q1.
You will listen to what the crow did after he lost his food. As you listen, mark the given statements as True or False. 1. The crow was unhappy that he lost his food. 2. The crow thought that his lovely feathers made him smart. 3. The crow wanted to tell his friends not to be proud.
Answer
| Statement | Answer | Line in the transcript (page 37) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The crow was unhappy that he lost his food. | True | “the crow felt really sad because the fox cheated him” |
| 2. The crow thought that his lovely feathers made him smart. | False | He says the opposite: “Even if I don't have beautiful feathers, I'm smart.” His brain makes him smart, not his feathers. |
| 3. The crow wanted to tell his friends not to be proud. | True | “He wanted to tell all the other animals to be careful with words. He told them, ‘Do not let pride lose what you have.’” |
Listening tip: Statement 2 is the tricky one. The words “beautiful feathers” and “smart” both appear in the recording, but they are joined by “even if I don't have”. Always listen for the little words — they can flip the whole meaning.
