  1. Hello! I watched the video twice to be as self-demanding as CAE listening tests, so my answers were 1 c), 2 d), and 3 b). After checking the keys on the Page bottom (1 c), 2 d), and 3 a)), I rewatched the video and I found out that number 2 is d), so the key is wrong about it, and number 3 is actually a). Therefore, I made a mistake, and I got 2 out of 3.
    The key should be: 1) c), 2 d), and 3 a).
    I hope to get a reply from you.
    Thank you so much!
