  • Just a quick disclaimer.

  • This is an exam that I wrote myself.

  • It is in no way connected to the powers behind the actual isles.

  • I hired voice actors to perform the monologues and dialogues and small conversations you here in this exam and what I've realized having used this exam with ill students is that it is slightly more difficult than an actual Eilts.

  • So don't feel discouraged if you find you are really having trouble answering the questions.

  • But it is nevertheless a great exercise that will expose you to several accents.

  • And after you listen through this exam once, it could be helpful to listen through it again with the answers in hand to try to train yourself to pick out Theano.

  • Sirs, you you missed the first time around to try and train yourself to listen for the specific language that makes the the answer is possible eso This will help your aural recognition, and we'll even expose you to some new vocabulary that you might previously been unaware of.

  • So I'll put those links in the description section of this video below.

  • Okay, before we start, just note that there is a small sequencing mistake right at the beginning of the listening in that the example that you know that comes at the very beginning of any islands listing.

  • It actually comes after question one.

  • So this small secreting error there.

  • But aside from this, the rest of the questions are in sequence.

  • So please leave a like if you find this exercise helpful and good luck with this model exam.

  • OK, now let's go to the market listening test, and I will start the recording Eilts listening block dot com Mark I else listening test, too.

  • Incorrect product with no idea what that is.

  • Drill bits are.

  • Could be an adjective incorrect.

  • Could be an adjective.

  • You think that example that has been done for you on this occasion, only the conversation relating to this will be played first.

  • Good morning, Goodman.

  • Custom fabricates.

  • Is Sarah speaking?

  • How may I help you?

  • Good morning.

  • My name is Kevin Roussel, chief designer for M E s Exploration Incorporated.

  • We placed an order with you for a number of custom oil and gas sector products.

  • Most of the products are fine.

  • However, we've had a few issues with three items.

  • Okay.

  • Can you provide me with your order number and product codes of the items in question?

  • Yes.

  • The order number is K B 239 double four.

  • And the items are a 193 B 201 on dhe F 091 I'm pulling up the information at the moment.

  • Please hold.

  • Ah, here you are, Mr Russo.

  • Let's start with the first order.

  • The steel load beds.

  • What seems to be the problem?

  • The buyer indicates there is a problem with item A 193 There's still load beds.

  • So this has been written under item Name in the table.

  • Now we shall begin.

  • You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.

  • Listen, carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.

  • Good morning, Goodman.

  • Custom fabricators.

  • Sarah speaking.

  • How may I help you?

  • Good morning.

  • My name is Kevin Roussel, chief designer for M E s Exploration Incorporated.

  • We placed an order with you for a number of custom oil and gas sector products.

  • Most of the products are fine.

  • However, we've had a few issues with three items.

  • Okay.

  • Can you provide me with your order number and product codes for the items in question?

  • Yes.

  • The order number is K B 239 Double four on the items are a 193 B 201 on dhe F 091 I'm pulling up the information at the moment.

  • Please hold.

  • Ah, here you are, Mr Russo.

  • Let's start with the first order of steel load beds.

  • What seems to be the problem?

  • The steel Lord beds are supposed to be able to withstand up to three tons of weight.

  • However, they appear to be banding with loads of only two and 1/2 tons.

  • Our structural engineer feels the bed centers are thinner than they are described in your website.

  • We'll need this issue sold by the end of next week to keep our project on track.

  • I apologize for the problem you have encountered with the steel load beds.

  • Okay, as the beds are quite large, I'll arrange for someone in que es to visit you later today to assess the issue.

  • If there has indeed been some mix up regarding bed thickness, we would have course provide a full replacement at no cost to you.

  • I can personally ensure the replacement will get to you well before the deadline.

  • That arrangement should work.

  • Fine.

  • Thank you.

  • Can you indicate what the issue is with the other items?

  • Yes.

  • We've received several complaints from our manufacturers that the screws we ordered from you are easily stripped by the drill bits we use here in the factory.

  • You mean the screw heads of being stripped, right?

  • Not the thread.

  • That's right.

  • We've never received a complaint to this nature about B 201 screws there.

  • Very robust.

  • Yes.

  • I was also surprised.

  • We've ordered them many times before and never had a problem.

  • My feeling is that this batch of screws is defective.

  • Could it be the drills you're using?

  • I thought that at first, too.

  • We had a project manager look into this issue and he assures me no alterations have been made to any of our drills or drilling techniques.

  • Okay To file a claim for a replacement of defective items, I'll need you to fill out a D one form.

  • I can email that to you after we finish this call.

  • I also need you to give several of the defective screws to our cue.

  • A representative to be brought back and analyzed.

  • OK, no problem.

  • On what's the issue with 091?

  • Yes, we ordered a trust f 091 with custom welding.

  • Unfortunately, the world's on the product or not, the world's we had requested.

  • We want the interior of the trust to be welded using double V joints, not single bevel John's.

  • Oh yes, I can see a note in your file indicating the need for custom welding.

  • I'm so sorry about this.

  • The welder must have overlooked the notes section of the order.

  • I'll tell you what, I'll arrange for a welder to join the queue.

  • A specialist in your plant today he can redo the welding for you on sight should only take a few hours now That would be terrific.

  • Thanks.

  • What time do you think that will be by?

  • I can arrange for any time after three words.

  • 3 15 work.

  • Could we say 1/4 to 4?

  • To be safe, they will need some time to get to your factory.

  • That should work.

  • Fine.

  • Okay.

  • Just punch that into my computer.

  • Thank you.

  • My pleasure.

  • Is there anything else I can do for you today?

  • That's it.

  • Thanks very much.

  • Have a great day, Mr Russo.

  • Okay, so let's stop there and talk a little bit about how we could come up with the answers to this.

  • Um, this listing, firstly, the item number, if I'm not mistaken.

  • We heard that during the example it is B 201 They stated twice in the listening, Uh, see, number two here.

  • Incorrect product is causing the beds to bend.

  • And we were correct.

  • This was going to be This is a noun.

  • They say it's incorrect.

  • Thickness or thinness.

  • I guess either or would be fine.

  • And the solution that's proposed employees may be sent out same day to check on the item, and then that ties into the solution for F 091 which we'll get to in a second.

  • So the second item, B 201 The enemy name.

  • It's screws.

  • The problem is that the bill, the drill bits are now, he says, stripping the screws.

  • So there, there, they're pulling the screw head.

  • The groove in the screw had their They're pulling the support, and then the screws can't be used.

  • So stripping screws the answer there, and the buyer is to issue a form outlining the complaint.

  • A D one form F 091 The item name.

  • This is a trust, they say.

  • The man says the trust was not welded correctly, and what exactly was the problem?

  • It's an incorrect Weld type says something about wanting single bevel joints or double bevel drinks.

  • So it's Nine Creek Well, type.

  • Uh, the work will be completed, and it was going to be held by the Are done by the same team that's coming out to fix a 19 threes.

  • The work will be completed on site.

  • Okay, so those are the solutions to the first part of the listening.

  • Now let's continue.

  • That is the end of section one.

  • You now have half a minute to check your answers.

  • Okay, let's assume that we feel confident will move on and use this time to bolster our understanding of Section two.

  • So we're looking at a map.

  • It says Label the floor plan below.

  • Right?

  • No more than three words.

  • The tour starts here and we can see there's a hole.

  • There are some doors in a back room which could be mentioned.

  • There's a backyard.

  • There's another door here that might be mentioned in the recording.

  • Um, let's see.

  • He's looked like stairs.

  • And on some small rooms, there's the main closet has been outlined, so that might be in the listening as well.

  • This is the ground floor.

  • Now turn to section two.

  • Section two.

  • You will hear a real estate agent giving a tour to prospective buyers off a housing unit.

  • First, you have some time to look at questions.

  • 8 to 15.

  • And the second part is the first floor.

  • So we see the stairs come up Maur doors.

  • We want to listen to that because they could be mentioned in listening the master bedroom.

  • Okay.

  • Some room here, Some from here.

  • They all connect something here.

  • Living area, A dining room Now listen carefully and answer questions.

  • 8 15 Now comes the fun part where you could begin to envision living in your new house.

  • As you enter the foyer, I want to draw your attention to the contemporary elephant gray wall coloring.

  • You'll notice that his compliments the crisp white marble floor tiles.

  • These walls are nine feet heists, which makes the entrance feel very open and spacious to your rice.

  • You have the staircase leading up to the first floor, where we have a reverse layers.

  • I'll explain what I mean by that.

  • In a moment, if you notice the flooring on the stairs, you will see that other than the boy on the two bathrooms, the entire has covered in the finest quality walled up hardwood.

  • Moving to the end of the boy.

  • This door leads directly to the finished carriage.

  • As you can see, it has more than enough room to fit a car on bikes on.

  • You could likely get a barbecue and some seasonal items in there, too.

  • If we turn down the hallway to the left, you have the main closet on our rice.

  • The first door on your left will lead to the first off two bathrooms.

  • These four piece bathroom, which features both a standalone tub and a state of the art shower.

  • This luxurious shower panel doesn't only look great and allows for a variety of washing spray patterns.

  • The bathroom has been fixed with the same marble tiling as the foyer and has a glass bowl sink.

  • It's a great room on is very guest friendly.

  • Across the whole, we have the first of three bedrooms, the smallest of the three.

  • It has sliding glass patio doors leading to the backyard.

  • It would be ideal is an office or a spare bedroom?

  • Please notice the charming, spherical like fixture, which could be dimmed from mood, setting the door at the end of the whole needs to backyard.

  • Terrific for barbecues.

  • I'll take it there in a moment.

  • First, take a look at the laundry room instead of having it crammed in the carriage or a basement.

  • It's in a finished room on its own with a linen closets.

  • Wash basin on a brand new washer and dryer.

  • Assess going back to the front entrance.

  • The final door next to the stairs needs to the second bedroom, the largest of the three rooms.

  • These bedrooms, three large windows, boast a great view of your front yard.

  • There is also a very large walk in closets.

  • This would be a great guest bedroom or nursery.

  • Okay, let's head upstairs.

  • I'll explain what I meant by reverse Layup.

  • As you can see, the stairs lead right up into your living area.

  • Dining, Of course, these would traditionally be found on the ground floor, but this trendy design has taken a new approach.

  • Keeping with the modern field it is completely open concept on will allow you to really be creative with the decorating.

  • There is a massive wraparound balcony that could be seen through all the windows on the first floor.

  • Many of the other unit dwellers have set of flower beds and full dining sets outside on the balcony to take advantage of the warm summer nights.

  • The kitchen is often a selling point for these units.

  • You'll notice the island.

  • It's solid.

  • Charcoal ran it with a jewel sink, plenty of space for all your appliances and utensils, but also has a built in carving board right on the counter for easy prep work.

  • The fridge dishwasher are both matching stainless steel appliances and finally, to Randolph the interior of the house.

  • I present what is typically used as the master bedroom, big enough for a king sized bed dresser mirror on Maur.

  • The best part is the walk in closet.

  • The walk in closet leads right into your own suite, which features another luxury shower, toilet and sink.

  • The second door leads out from the bathroom back to the kitchen area for guests, so that completes the tour.

  • Let's have downstairs on at the back door where we can relax.

  • Okay, stop it there.

  • Let's go back up to the ground floor.

  • So the tour started, and often in the aisles, you're helped by the numbers, the question numbers, because things there are typically delivered in order of numbers.

  • So we were first introduced to what number eight was and the number nine, the number 10 the number 11 and onwards.

  • Number eight was the garage, and if you wrote a finished garage, that would be fine, too.

  • That's the way that he described it.

  • But it's the garage.

  • Uh, the person that was delivering the tour is Irish, so the pronunciation was a little different, he said.

  • Garage.

  • But um, so I hope you were able to get that number nine.

  • This was a bathroom, and the mention of the main closet helped to position us a little bit, he said.

  • The main clothes, it's on her right to your left is the bathroom.

  • And as we predicted, these a couple of doors back here were stated by the person giving the tour.

  • He said that they lead out into the backyard, and number 10 is one of the bedrooms.

  • And then he describes the door over to the backyard, and the number 11 was the laundry room.

  • Okay, and then he says, we'll go back to the front door and he introduces this large bedroom, and this large bedroom has a walk in closet because that's better, penetrated with the dash.

  • Walk in closet, Okay, And then they go upstairs, and he describes the balcony, How it's very large on dhe.

  • He mentions that there are windows all the way around that allow people on the inside to look out into the balcony.

  • There's a living area dining room, uh, he mentions the kitchen, but it's not entirely clear.

  • It becomes more clear after he takes us through the master bedroom and then through.

  • This is the second walk in closet, and then through.

  • This is another bathroom.

  • But this one, he refers to it as the on suite bathroom.

  • So we'll want to inner isles.

  • Uh, right the room in the same way that he has has introduced it to us.

  • And then he says it leads back into the kitchen area.

  • So this number 13 is sort of reinforced the second time that he mentions it.

  • Okay, so I hope you're able to get a few of those.

  • Now, let's continue with our listening.

  • That is the end of section two.

  • You now have half a minute to check your answers, okay?

  • And we're gonna go ahead to section three, Okay?

  • No more than three words for each answer.

  • It says it's the aim of the survey.

  • So we know we're gonna be listening to a survey because of section three wheels to know that it will be academic and that there will be more than one speaker rising something probably a noun bill, 82 k.

  • Something to do with legal vocabulary is expected to cause this will be a noun, A or an rise in tuition fees if passed in this probably a date.

  • Charter students of now turn to Section three.

  • Section three.

  • You will hear a university student interview another university student about rising tuition.

  • First, you will have some time to look at questions.

  • 16 to 25.

  • Okay.

  • Charter students is a group that seeks to firm to protect student.

  • Probably announce the interviewee supplemented tuition she received from her parents.

  • With a case of supplemented.

  • You need to know what that word means.

  • Interviewing currently lives.

  • This is probably a place if Billy 20 two's ability to his past.

  • Yeah, listen carefully.

  • Question 16 to 25.

  • Excuse me.

  • Hi.

  • Do you have a quick minute?

  • Uh, well, I'm on my way to class.

  • Electra starts in 15 minutes.

  • What can I do for you?

  • If you don't mind lending me five minutes of your time?

  • I am conducting research on the opinions of rising tuition fees among students and professors alike.

  • Given the recent proposal of Bill 82 which would see a 12% increase in tuition fees, effective September if past.

  • I have a brief questionnaire.

  • Very basic questions that could lend to the survey.

  • Uh, Well, I haven't a bit of a rush, but only a few minutes, right?

  • Yes, I assure you.

  • All right, How do I stop?

  • Thank you so much.

  • I should probably introduce myself first.

  • I'm David Morgan.

  • I'm 1/3 year sociology major and the founder of charter students, which is essentially a nonpartisan group that serves as a voice of advocacy for students rights and equality.

  • The survey could be completed anonymously, but I will have to ask you some demographic questions to bracket you first.

  • What program?

  • In year or you and currently?

  • And are you studying full time or part time?

  • This is my third year of criminal psychology.

  • Studying full time.

  • Okay.

  • Perfect.

  • And how many years do you have left?

  • Two down, two to go.

  • All right.

  • Great.

  • Seeing as how you've already paid two years tuition.

  • What was your source of funding?

  • Was it scholarship in bursaries?

  • Work slash employment income funds from family, personal savings or other sources.

  • It was a combination between my personal savings and funding for my parents.

  • Okay, While attending university, are you working full time working part time or unemployed with my school workload?

  • I can only manage to work part time, and I'm even finding that heavy.

  • Okay, So in order to maintain your living and education costs, have you taken any measures such as living at home, cutting back on non essentials, finding somewhere employment or anything else?

  • I live on campus, which is very expensive option, but I feel it has helped me focus on my studies.

  • I took up the part time job to help cover some of the costs of the textbooks on other living expenses, such as groceries and gas in my car.

  • I work a full time job in the summer months and put this money towards fall tuition.

  • Okay, if tuition costs were increased by 10% while you're still attending university, what would be your course of action?

  • It's hard to say for sure, but I would definitely need to find an additional source of income with only 15 hours a week.

  • I'm just covering my car groceries.

  • I'd probably need to take out a line of credit and get a second job.

  • I've invested too much to quit now.

  • Okay, so I'll note here that you would stay the course but need to find funding.

  • You would be surprised how many students responded that they would likely need to drop out.

  • Okay, just another couple of questions.

  • No problem.

  • Your opinion of current tuition fees are the two high, appropriate levels or too low still too high.

  • In my opinion, I've seen reports that Canada is ranked among some of the highest tuition fees in the world.

  • It's facts like this that have made me consider doing my degree abroad.

  • Actually, this is why I'm conducting this research.

  • We're spearheading a petition based on the final results of this survey.

  • Part of our argument is an increasing prices air pushing talented students away.

  • Okay, The final question is, where do you most want to see your tuition fees spent curriculum improvements, student financial assistance, reducing class size research, safety on campus, transportation or other?

  • Oh, that's a long list.

  • Uh, let me take a quick look at it.

  • Can I choose more than one answer?

  • Yes, You may choose as many as you like.

  • Well, curriculum improvement for sure on DDE, This may not be the typical response, but I would say transportation, given the fact that the campus is quite expensive on the public transportation or shuttle service between various areas is virtually non existent.

  • It makes it difficult for students like me to make it from one class to another with any time to spare.

  • Listen, I don't mean to be rude, but I should hurry off.

  • Absolutely.

  • Thank you very much for stopping.

  • I really appreciate all the candid answers.

  • No problem.

  • Good luck with the seven.

  • Okay, so let's go over the answers.

  • Here s o the aim of the survey to gather the opinions concerning rising amongst students at the university.

  • And you probably caught this rising tuition tuition fees amongst us of university.

  • Billy 82 is expected to cause a or an and we guess correctly, this would be a number or or now, and I guess 12% rise in tuition fees if passed in.

  • And this was a time, as we also predicted correctly.

  • September charter students is a group that seeks to protect student rights and equality.

  • The interviewees supplemented tuition she received from her parents with, and this was a little confusing because I believe she delivered this information in the opposite order.

  • So she mentioned that she had personal savings and funds from that from funds that she received from her parents.

  • The interviewee currently lives, and she is currently on campus ability to his past.

  • The interviewee would likely borough money or find, and this is a second job.

  • According to charter students, Increasing tuition too much could cause Canada to lose.

  • And this is talented students, and you probably could just put talent, and that would also be considered correct.

  • The interviewee feels improving course curriculums and would be a healthy use of her.

  • And she mentions something about for wanting better transportation because she's having trouble getting from one side of campus to the other healthy use of her, um, her student tuition fees.

  • Okay, now let's continue our listening.

  • That is the end of section three.

  • You now have half a minute to check your answers.

  • Okay, again, Assuming that we feel confident.

  • Let's keep going.

  • Section four.

  • This is the most difficult listening.

  • It's academic listening 123 words or, in a number, free chance or so we see the American cowboy part one where the image came from part to what?

  • Today and then, Okay, part one.

  • So I guess this one this is matching it from up here part one where the image came from.

  • We have dates this chronological.

  • 1550 100.

  • 1717.

  • 50 17 90.

  • Okay, your turn to section full.

  • Looked after lights.

  • Stock brought protection for probably a place you will hear a lecturers introduction to a geography module.

  • First, you have some time to look at questions.

  • 26 to 33.

  • 33.

  • Okay, The word cowboy is first used to refer to young males of this could be maybe a type of family or a place, Hispanic and endless.

  • Others exchanged goods.

  • And so, what else did they exchange?

  • Mexican American War starts in This could be a date.

  • Cultural exchange slows.

  • Okay, Anglo population spread through south.

  • And something USA.

  • So maybe south and maybe north of herself in east or could be something else.

  • Uh, cowboy is more commonly used to refer to cattle rancher.

  • No idea.

  • American cowboy becomes distinctly different from the Mexican cowboy.

  • Okay, so we're gonna listen now, Listen.

  • In particular questions, 26 to 33 for many, the cowboy has come to embody the values of altruism.

  • On individual is, um, Mr Day seen as Quint?

  • Essentially American.

  • But how accurate is this view I want to.

  • So many people hold it well.

  • In today's lecture, I'm going to examine the iconic American cowboy where the image came from and what the image means today.

  • But let's start with a bit of background.

  • The story of the co boy stands as far back as the early 15 hundreds and these origins Wendy hidden within what we today called the U.

  • S.

  • A.

  • In territory off what is now present in Mexico.

  • The vaqueros, or horse mounted life stockholders, where Ellie Spanish settlers that looked after horses and cattle brought to the New World from Spain.

  • Those Spanish colonies expanded over the next 200 years.

  • These ranching practices spread with um, into areas that are no Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California.

  • And from 17 50 to 70 90 the use of the term cowboy began a mainly made reference to the young males of cattle herding families.

  • By the 18 hundreds, Hispanic and Anglo settlers were communicating and exchanging goods regularly on this lead to further cultural exchange.

  • My store production and cattle ranching would in full swing throughout southwestern America by the start of the Mexican American War in 18 48 in the 100 used to follow the adopted roping skills, horsemanship and sandal designer.

  • The vaqueros would be evolved by the Anglo populations, which are no spreading quickly across South and Midwestern areas of modern U.

  • S.

  • A.

  • A new breed of horsemen took form and tidal, such as co head cope puncher in copal, begin commonplace.

  • In fact, the word cowboy was still in use at this time but had evolved to the fair to an adult male cattle rancher.

  • Instead of a boy.

  • Much of the modern American Cowboys attire was adopted between 1819 100.

  • They let the leg coverings commonly fair to his chaps, the leather cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.

  • We know today they were all evolved from their Spanish originals, and by the turn of the 20 essentially, the American co boy had a distinctly different luke from the Mexican coast boy.

  • Before you hear the rest of the conversation, Okay, uh, so let's go over what we heard in here.

  • Now what you probably noticed is that there were several key words here that matched exactly with what the lecturer was saying.

  • Particularly words, referring to for example, young males that popped out at me.

  • Uh, Mexican American War course was very clear when he started saying Cowherd, California cowpoke, It was clear that we were leading writing to the answer for 32.

  • So many of these thes answers were pretty straightforward.

  • Okay, so Part one, where the image came from part to what the image, uh, means.

  • And then today what the image means today and we can assume that this is gonna be the topic.

  • Well, here in the second half of the listing case apart, one was about this party was perhaps more bow to the modern image of the cowboy talks about two in the 15 hundreds, the early cowboys in North America.

  • The book Eros herders looked after livestock brought from Spain.

  • Um, okay, Spanish colonies expanded in the Americas, and this ranching practices did to the word cowboysfirst used to refer to young males.

  • Of this was cattle ranching, families, Hispanic in English, settlers exchange goods and on This is a little confusing because you might think it's goods and communication because he talks about that about the same time as well.

  • But it's goods and and culture.

  • Mexican American War starts in 18 48.

  • Very straightforward answer.

  • Just listen to what he was saying.

  • Precisely.

  • Nothing was cryptic there at all.

  • Anglo populations start evolving the ranching practices of the vaqueros.

  • Anglo populations spread through south, and we correctly assumed that this would be another direction.

  • So Midwestern U.

  • S.

  • A.

  • Totals.

  • Calvert, Cow puncher and Cal people come into use cowboys more commonly used to refer to adult male cattle ranchers.

  • Adult meal.

  • American Cowboy becomes distinctly different from the Mexican cowboy.

  • I think this was the one answer that wasn't 100% straight forward.

  • This one.

  • We had Thio listen and perhaps even deduce the answer.

  • The is referring to a tire or clothing.

  • I suppose you could write to clothing because he was talking about the chaps that cowboys where he was talking about the hats, a few other pieces of clothing that made them different.

  • Different American cowboys different from Mexican cowboys.

  • Okay, let's continue the listening.

  • You will have some time to look at questions.

  • 34 to 14.

  • Okay, choose four letters at age.

  • Which four words reflect what the American cowboy came to represent the 20 century America.

  • Let's underline came to represent and 20th century America.

  • We'll have to listen to those of which three words reflect what the American cowboy represents two day.

  • So we have one what it represented the 20th century.

  • And what does it represent today in the new millennium?

  • Listen, Catherine, they're probably going to be Senator 40.

  • So let's move on to look at the evolution of the American co boy as an icon.

  • Around the year 1900 the American co boy was seen as a symbol off the culture developing in the New World and was thus closely associating with opportunity on the individual is, um, and liberty of 40 by hard labor.

  • The stress on individual is, um, was amplified by the middle of the 20th century, when the cowboy came to represent a departure from traditional society restrictions and conformity.

  • In fact, the cowboy was seen as outside the mold off traditional American societal structure, and this encouraged elements of the image like bell bottom pants and cowboy hats, to be incorporated into the hippie movements of the sixties, a massive American movement based upon rebelling against societal expectations.

  • When we look at the co boy today that sense of individual ism's still holds true.

  • But it's coupled with strong sentiments of heroism and altruism, predominantly stimulated by Hollywood movies and other elements of modern pop culture.

  • So that's the American co boy.

  • In a nutshell.

  • 500 year old icon that continues to evolve.

  • Okay, S O That was a little more challenging.

  • Many of these words are mentioned, however, several of them, uh, we're not representations of or were not what the Cowboy came to represent in the 20th century, so he mentions societal restrictions.

  • He's talking about the cowboy as being a, um, a liberating sort of image against societal restrictions so it could not be letter a individual ism.

  • He mentions this.

  • This is one of the answers conformity.

  • Again, as with societal restrictions, he's saying that the cowboy is not this the cowboy represents, Um, being someone of a rebel or going against the mold, I think, is what he says or outside the mold.

  • So it would not be this rebellion that is one of the answers.

  • So b.

  • D.

  • The hippie movement.

  • Now he mentions that several of the pieces of clothing that the cowboy that became part of the iconic Cowboys attire were incorporated into the hippie movements within the U.

  • S.

  • But these are not what the cowboy represents.

  • So that could not be the answer.

  • Liberty?

  • Yes.

  • He mentions that opportunity.

  • Yes.

  • So the four answers and again, the traditional societal structure thing.

  • That was something that the cowboy was sort of an image against.

  • Okay, it was B.

  • I'll just table four right here.

  • Be rebellion.

  • De, um, Liberty, F and opportunity.

  • Which three words reflect what the American cowboy represents today.

  • So we have generosity.

  • Individual is, um, heroism, Ultra ism, The pursuit of happiness and ambition.

  • Generosity.

  • There wasn't any mention of that in what he was saying.

  • So that that is not one of the answers.

  • Individual is, um yes.

  • So that would be one heroism?

  • Yes.

  • And he ties this to Hollywood movies and the image of the cowboy always doing the right thing, which also links us to ultra ism.

  • BCD would be the correct answer.

  • Is the pursuit of happiness not so much an ambition?

  • No.

  • So the correct answers here would be B, c and D.

  • I hope that exam wasn't too painful.
