Listening Text
Do you know what a point of view is? It means a way of looking at things. For example, when an accident happens, the police will ask everybody who was nearby what happened. They won’t just ask one person because that person may not have seen everything that happened. So the stories people tell will often be
Part 1
different. This is because they each have a different idea of the accident and so a different point of view.
Let us look closer at this accident. A boy is walking in the road when a car comes up behind him and hurts him. Two people see what happens. Let us listen to their stories.
A: I was walking along the road when I saw the boy coming towards me. He was walking in the bicycle lane of the road. A car came very fast up the road in the bicycle lane. The driver did not see the boy and knocked him over and hurt him. It was the car driver who caused the accident.
Part 2
B: I was following the boy who was walking in the road. He was not doing what he should and he moved further into the road as the car came up behind him. The car tried to stop but it was too close to him. So the car hurt the boy. But it was the boy who caused the accident.
When you hear two points of view, it is up to you to decide who is correct. So who do you think caused the accident ?
