📝 Trascrizione dialogo IELTS Speaking
In my town we celebrate a spring festival that honors swallows. Families prepare for weeks. They build small nests from mud and straw. The mud often comes from the riverbank and is mixed with dry grass. People carry the nests up to eaves and rafters. The nest is a symbol of home and safety. The custom began long ago as a harvest blessing. Some people say it began in 1820, while others believe it is older. The festival is a three-day event held on 3 May. It includes songs, parades and a small market. But the activity with the nests matters most. It is not a mere decoration for the house. Volunteers check every nest to protect chicks and to make sure the nest is secure. Children help and learn that a nest takes careful work. Mud helps the nest stick to the wall during wind and rain. Later, families replace broken nests with new ones. Some older people say it was at first a mere children's game. Today the mayor still gives a small prize to the best nest. Visitors sometimes think the festival is only about games. In truth it teaches respect for birds, community skill and the place we call home.

5
Why do volunteers check every nest, as implied in the passage?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
The passage says volunteers check nests to protect chicks and ensure security. Selling, painting, or conducting a census are not mentioned and are not supported by the text; therefore B, C and D are incorrect.
6
What can be inferred about the mayor giving a prize for the best nest?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Because the mayor gives a prize to the best nest and the passage emphasizes skill and community, it is reasonable to infer the prize encourages skill and participation. Changing the date, commercial focus, or stopping children are not supported by the passage and are therefore incorrect.

In the sentence 'It is not a mere decoration', what does 'mere' most nearly mean?
Risposta Sbagliata
Risposta Corretta:
A
Spiegazione:
Here 'mere' means 'only' or 'just', indicating the nest is more than simply decoration. 'Heavy', 'expensive' and 'natural' do not match the meaning in this context.
