Test 8 Listening Listen to some people talking about facing challenges and match the speakers 1 to 5 to the statements A to E.0:00
I spoke to some people about dealing with challenges and here's what they when my friends asked me to go rock climbing with them, I wasn't sure because I'm scared of heights.0:14
But I decided to be brave and try was scary, but when I got to the top, I felt a real sense of achievement.0:26
Next week I am trying skydiving.0:34
I think it is important to face whatever it is that scares you.0:37
A serious injury really changes your life.0:41
I don't remember much about the accident, but I remember waking up in a hospital room with two broken legs and a bruised spine.0:45
Now, six months later, I have fully recovered, but I don't think I could have done it without the support and encouragement of those close to me.0:55
I'm very close to my family, so close in fact, that living in another country was something that I thought I couldn't cope with.1:05
But when I was 18, I had to go overseas to study.1:14
I thought I would miss my family too much and have to leave university before I finished my degree.1:18
I'd just never imagined that I could make it on my own.1:24
But I did stay and ended up loving it.1:27
It's very satisfying to do things that seem nearly impossible at first.1:31
That's why as soon as I finish one challenge, I'm off to face the next, more difficult one.1:36
For example, last year I ran half a marathon.1:41
This year I am training to run the whole marathon.1:44
Next year I want to climb the tallest mountain in the uk.1:47
I've always believed that positive thinking plays an important role in a person's life.1:51
I've had to face many difficulties and I found that the best way to deal with them successfully is to have a positive attitude.1:57
The way we think about something has a strong impact on how we feel and how we behave.2:05
So if you believe in your ability to achieve something and hope for the best, good things will probably happen to you.2:12
