Exercise 2: Listen and choose true or false

With this exercise, the listeners will listen to the conversation, then there will be a key point about the problem that will be raised in the conversation. The listeners must choose whether the content is true or false according to what they has listened. If it is true, select ใ€‡ (maru) and if it is false, choose โœ– (batsu). In this listening section, you should pay attention to the concluding sentence to see whether that sentence is given in a positive or negative form in order to avoid being “tricked” when listening.

Translation and Answer

The house I saw in the dream

There is a picture of a full blue moon on the wall in my room. I often look at it before going to bed.

One night, I dreamed. I was in a spacious room. And I can see the Earth from the window. I thought “this must be the house on the moon”. I was so happy. However, when looking closely, there is nothing hung on the wall. There aren’t any tables or chairs either. And there is nothing decorated in that house. Then I shouted, “I hate a house like this.”

Then, I woke up. In my room, there are bed and table. There is also a calendar hung on the wall. There are lots of my favorite books neatly arranged on the bookshelf. I think this house is better than the house I saw in the dream.

Question:ย 

1. There is a picture of the earth on the wall of this person’s room๏ผˆโœ–๏ผ‰

2. There is nothing in the room on the moon๏ผˆใ€‡๏ผ‰

3.ย  This person want to live in the house on the moon.๏ผˆโœ–๏ผ‰
