2) Listen for four things
In PD2 listening an announcement is faster than in PD1. Listen for:
1. hvilket tog — destination
2. problemet — forsinket / aflyst / andet spor
3. hvad du skal gøre — wait, move, take a bus
4. erstatning — if you can get money back
1. hvilket tog — destination
2. problemet — forsinket / aflyst / andet spor
3. hvad du skal gøre — wait, move, take a bus
4. erstatning — if you can get money back
3) på grund af
Announcements often use på grund af + a noun (not a full clause):
på grund af signalfejl — because of a signal failure
på grund af vejrlig — because of the weather
Compare fordi + clause: …fordi der er signalfejl.
på grund af signalfejl — because of a signal failure
på grund af vejrlig — because of the weather
Compare fordi + clause: …fordi der er signalfejl.
4) Exam tip
Play twice. First catch the destination and the problem. Second catch the new spor or the word togbus / erstatning.
Speaking tasks
Say these out loud. Use Listen when you want a model.
A delay
Repeat: the train is delayed, and say how many minutes.
A new platform
Say the train leaves from another spor.
Compensation
Say you want to søge om erstatning because the train was cancelled.
