تحلیل لیسنینگ آیلتس آکادمیک و جنرال کمبریج 20 - تست 1: بررسی سوالات، نکات کلیدی و استراتژی‌های پاسخ‌دهی

📝 Question 1: Good for people who are especially keen on (1)
🔹 Correct Answer: fish
📍 Location in Audio Script: "The food's amazing. If you like fish, it's probably the best restaurant in town for that. It's always really fresh, and there are lots of interesting dishes to choose from..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker explicitly states that The Junction is "the best restaurant in town" for people who "like fish." The word 'keen on' in the question is paraphrased by 'like' in the audio.
⚠️ Potential Traps: No major distractors, but listening for the **first specific food** mentioned is key.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In notes/table completion, listen for words that paraphrase the main category or detail being described (e.g., "keen on" = "like").

Audio Script Part 1: Questions 1-10

**Man**: Hello, Charlotte.
**Woman**: Hi, Ken. What did you think of the restaurant? The Junction?
**Man**: I thought it was pretty good. The food's amazing. If you like **📍Q1 fish**, it's probably the best restaurant in town for that. It's always really fresh, and there are lots of interesting dishes to choose from.
**Woman**: That's good. And the service?
**Man**: Not bad. And before dinner, you can go up on the **📍Q2 roof** and have a drink. It's really nice up there, but you need to book.
**Woman**: So is all the food they serve **📍Q3 Spanish** then?
**Man**: Yeah, you can get lots of small dishes to share, which always works really well if you're in a group.
**Woman**: It sounds great. I should have a look at the menu to check there's a good choice of **vegetarian** dishes. A couple of my friends have stopped eating meat.
**Man**: Not sure, I'd say the selection of those would be quite **limited**. I don't think they're very popular.
**Woman**: Oh, right. I'll see if I can find another one then. I’ve just thought of another idea. Have you been to the **📍Q5 Audley**?
**Man**: No, don't think I've heard of it. How's it spelt?
**Woman**: A-U-D-L-E-Y. It's in that **📍Q6 hotel** near Baxter Bridge, on the top floor.
**Man**: Oh, I think I know the one. That chef who used to be on TV, you know, the one who publishes all those cookery books...
**Woman**: Yes. Anyway, it's had excellent **📍Q7 reviews** from all the newspapers. She only likes cooking with **local** products, doesn't she?
**Man**: Yes. Everything at the restaurant has to be sourced within a short distance, and absolutely nothing flown in from abroad.
**Woman**: Well, you could go for the **set lunch**. That's quite reasonable for a top class restaurant, £📍Q9 30 a head.
**Man**: Is that the evening price?
**Woman**: No, it's about £50 in the evening.
**Man**: It's not the kind of place you leave feeling hungry though, is it? With tiny portions.
**Woman**: No, the reviews I've read didn't mention that. I imagine they'd be **📍Q10 average**.

📝 Question 11: Heather says pottery differs from other art forms because ____
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. it lasts longer in the ground.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...pottery as an art form is tens of thousands of years old, and we know this because it **stands the test of time**. Things like baskets and pictures don’t **survive in the earth in the same way that pots do**.”
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker says pottery **stands the test of time** and other forms **don't survive in the earth in the same way**. This directly supports the idea that it **lasts longer in the ground** (Option A).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The key is understanding the paraphrase: "stands the test of time" and "don't survive... in the same way" means it lasts longer.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In multiple-choice questions, the correct option is often a **paraphrase of a comparative statement** made in the audio. Listen for contrasting language (like "in the same way that...").

📝 Question 12: Archaeologists sometimes identify the use of ancient pottery from
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. the marks that are on it.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...archaeologists can tell whether the pots were for, say, storage or cooking by examining the **impressions on the clay**, the **scratches from tools**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker explicitly states the use is identified by **impressions** and **scratches**, which are both types of **marks** (**Option B**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The shape is mentioned as lost (eliminating C). The clay itself is mentioned later but for the pot's origin, not its use (eliminating A).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Be careful of information that is mentioned but serves a **different purpose**. Listen for the specific function being described (e.g., "tell whether... by examining...").

📝 Question 13: Some people join Heather’s pottery class because they want to
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. make something that will outlive them.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...They hope that something they create will also **last longer than they do**. That their work... might say something about humanity many years after their **death**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrases "**last longer than they do**" and "many years after their **death**" directly explain the desire to create something that will **outlive them** (**Option C**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: Option A (looks old) is connected to the previous discussion about ancient pots, which might confuse the listener, but it's not the reason people join.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for people's **motivations or reasons** (signaled by "They hope that," "because they want to") as these are often tested in Section 2 multiple-choice questions.

📝 Question 14: What does Heather value most about being a potter?
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. its calming effect**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "As far as I'm concerned, what I **love most** is the concentration you need to make a good pot. That focus **takes you away from the stresses of everyday life**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "**takes you away from the stresses of everyday life**" is a clear paraphrase for having a **calming effect** (**Option A**). The speaker explicitly says this is what she "**loves most**."
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions physical benefits and the messy nature right after, but clearly isolates her "most valued" aspect first.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **superlative language or markers of preference** ("what I love most," "As far as I'm concerned") to isolate the main answer.

📝 Question 15: Most of the visitors to Edelman Pottery
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. have never made a pot before.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...like **nearly everyone** who comes here. I'm sure this is the **first time** you will have tried the art..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker states that for "**nearly everyone** who comes here," this is the "**first time**" they will have tried pottery. This confirms that **most visitors have never made a pot before** (**Option B**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The trap lies in connecting "first time" to "never made a pot before."
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for phrases like "**nearly everyone**" or "most people" to identify a **general characteristic** of the participants.

📝 Question 16: Heather reminds her visitors that they should
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. take off their jewellery**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "As we said in our email, please **remove any watches, necklaces, et cetera**. And put them somewhere safe."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker specifically asks them to "**remove any watches, necklaces, et cetera**," which are all types of **jewellery** (**Option C**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker mentions aprons (which will be provided later, not put on now) and mentions clothes (they should be "old but comfortable," but does not ask them to change them now).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Distinguish between **current instructions** ("please remove...") and future actions ("We'll provide aprons later").

📝 Questions 17 and 18: Which TWO things does Heather explain about kilns?
🔹 Correct Answer: **A** and **E** (in any order)
📍 Location in Audio Script (**A** - Function): "Basically, a kiln removes the water from clay... This allows anything you've made to **set permanently in shape**."
📍 Location in Audio Script (**E** - Alternative): "You may think, 'can't I use my oven?' Well, that's possible... Some people fire pottery in a **fire pit outside**..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
- **A (Function):** She explains the function: it **removes water** and allows the shape to **set permanently**.
- **E (Alternative):** She mentions that **some people fire pottery in a fire pit outside**, which is a viable alternative.
⚠️ Potential Traps: She only mentions that kilns have "changed very little" since their invention (not **when** they were invented, B) and only says you "need to know about safety procedures" (not explaining **ways** to keep them safe, C).
⭐ Key Learning Point: In multiple-answer questions, be sure the speaker provides the **explanation** for a point, not just a **mention** of it.

📝 Questions 19 and 20: Which TWO points does Heather make about a potter’s tools?
🔹 Correct Answer: **C** and **E** (in any order)
📍 Location in Audio Script (**C** - Essential): "However, there are some **basic tools** that you will **need** to handle the clay on the wheel."
📍 Location in Audio Script (**E** - Available): "**We can provide these**. And I wouldn't recommend spending money on them yet."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer:
- **C (Essential):** "**basic tools that you will need**" is a clear way of saying that some tools are **essential items**.
- **E (Available):** The speaker tells the visitors "**We can provide these**," which means they are **available** for the participants to use.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The speaker says they have names that you may find "hard to remember" (not **memorable**, D) and explicitly says "I wouldn't recommend spending money" (not **worth buying**, B).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen carefully to **adjectives and negative structures**. Distractors often use words that are the opposite of what is actually said.

Audio Script Part 2: Questions 11-20

**Heather**: Hello, everyone, and welcome to Edelman Pottery. I'm Heather, and I'll be teaching you how to make your own pot today. Now, pottery as an art form is tens of thousands of years old, and we know this because it **📍Q11 stands the test of time**. Things like baskets and pictures don't survive in the earth in the same way that pots do. The shape of an artifact may have been lost. But archaeologists can tell whether the pots were for, say, storage or cooking by examining the **📍Q12 impressions on the clay**, the **scratches from tools**. They can also discover where the pots came from by examining the type of clay. Some people find that their lives are stressful and they want to do something that they can focus on. And of course, they hope that something they create will also **📍Q13 last longer than they do**. As far as I'm concerned, what I love most is the concentration you need to make a good pot. That focus **📍Q14 takes you away from the stresses of everyday life**. Here at Edelman Pottery we show you some of the basic pottery techniques... like **📍Q15 nearly everyone** who comes here. I'm sure this is the **first time** you will have tried the art... As we said in our email, please **📍Q16 remove any watches, necklaces, et cetera**. And put them somewhere safe...

...Once your work is ready, it's baked in a very hot oven called a kiln. Basically, a kiln **📍Q17 removes the water from clay**... This allows anything you've made to set permanently in shape. You may think, 'can't I use my oven?' Well, that's possible... **📍Q18 Some people fire pottery in a fire pit outside**... Anyway, now let's turn to tools. There are various tools with very odd names that you may find hard to remember. However, there are some **📍Q19 basic tools that you will need** to handle the clay on the wheel. **📍Q20 We can provide these**. And I wouldn't recommend spending money on them yet.

📝 Questions 21 and 22: Which TWO things do the students both believe are responsible for the increase in loneliness?
🔹 Correct Answer: **C** and **E** (in any order)
📍 Location in Audio Script (**C** - Urban Design): **Tamara**: "I'd say loneliness has a lot to do with the way **cities are designed**..." **Dev**: "**I think you're right**."
📍 Location in Audio Script (**E** - Mobile Workforce): **Tamara**: "A more plausible explanation is that people are having to **move around for work**..." **Dev**: "**That's true**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Both **Urban Design** and **Mobile Workforce** are proposed by Tamara and then **explicitly agreed upon** by Dev ("I think you're right," "That's true").
⚠️ Potential Traps: A, B, and D are all mentioned but **rejected** by at least one of the students as the primary cause.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In dialogue-based multiple-answer questions, look for **explicit agreement phrases** like "I think you're right" or "That's true" that follow a proposed idea.

📝 Questions 23 and 24: Which TWO health risks associated with loneliness do the students agree are based on solid evidence?
🔹 Correct Answer: **A** and **C** (in any order)
📍 Location in Audio Script (**A** - Immune System): **Dev**: "...there's **no doubt** that loneliness contributes to a **weakened immune system**." **Tamara**: "**Unquestionably**, the data on that is **sound**."
📍 Location in Audio Script (**C** - Cancer): **Tamara**: "...and those findings have been **supported by other studies too**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The link to a **Weakened Immune System** is confirmed with strong language ("no doubt," "sound"). The **Cancer** study's finding is confirmed as being "**supported by other studies**."
⚠️ Potential Traps: They reject B (Dementia) and express doubt about D (Obesity) and E (Cardiovascular Disease) due to varying definitions.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words that signal **certainty or reliability**, such as "sound," "unquestionably," or "supported by other studies," to identify the evidence-based claims.

📝 Questions 25 and 26: Which TWO opinions do both the students express about the evolutionary theory of loneliness?
🔹 Correct Answer: **A** and **B** (in any order)
📍 Location in Audio Script (**A** - Little practical relevance): **Dev**: "...this theory is **not really useful** when it comes to solving the problem..." **Tamara**: "**True**."
📍 Location in Audio Script (**B** - Needs further investigation): **Dev**: "But I don't think there's enough evidence..." **Tamara**: "**More evidence is needed**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Both agree it is **not really useful** (A) and that **more evidence is needed** (B).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The students find the core idea "quite convincing," so they do not think it is misleading (C).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **concluding remarks** about a topic. "More evidence is needed" is a common phrase indicating a need for **further investigation**.

📝 Question 27: When comparing loneliness to depression, the students
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. doubt that there will ever be a medical cure for loneliness.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: **Tamara**: "...loneliness has no recognized clinical form." **Dev**: "There's no available diagnosis or effective treatments, and that's **not likely to change**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Dev's phrase "**not likely to change**" after noting there are no effective treatments expresses a **strong doubt** that a medical solution/cure will ever be found (**Option A**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The students find them "clearly related," the opposite of B.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **modal verbs or phrases** that indicate **probability or doubt** ("not likely to change") as these often point to the correct option in attitude-based questions.

📝 Question 28: Why do the students decide to start their presentation with an example from their own experience?
🔹 Correct Answer: **B. to highlight a situation that most students will recognise**
📍 Location in Audio Script: **Tamara**: "I'd like to talk about how lonely I was when I started university..." **Dev**: "**Good idea**. **Everyone will be able to relate to that**..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Dev's explicit reason is that "**Everyone will be able to relate to that**," which means it highlights a common, **recognizable situation** (**Option B**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: The situation is difficult (A), but the **reason for using it** is **relatability** (B).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the **direct reason or justification** for a proposed action ("Good idea, because...") to distinguish the answer from other plausible-sounding, but incorrect, options.

📝 Question 29: The students agree that talking to strangers is a good strategy for dealing with loneliness because
🔹 Correct Answer: **A. it creates a sense of belonging.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: **Dev**: "...make people feel more optimistic and relaxed." **Tamara**: "**I don't know about that**, but it must make people feel more **connected with their community**."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Tamara explicitly **dismisses** Dev's suggestion (C) and proposes her own reason: it makes people feel "**more connected with their community**," which is a paraphrase for creating a **sense of belonging** (**Option A**).
⚠️ Potential Traps: Option C is a major distractor because Dev mentions it, but Tamara immediately **negates or expresses doubt** about it.
⭐ Key Learning Point: If one speaker expresses **doubt or disagreement** about a point ("I don't know about that"), the following statement often contains the consensus or the **intended answer**.

📝 Question 30: The students find it difficult to understand why solitude is considered to be
🔹 Correct Answer: **C. an enjoyable experience.**
📍 Location in Audio Script: **Tamara**: "It's strange the way some people can't stand being by themselves, while others **love it**." **Dev**: "Yeah... being alone isn't something I actually **like**. I'd never **choose** to go on holiday alone for example."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The students agree they don't understand why "others **love it**" (Tamara) or "**choose** it" (Dev), which means they find the idea of it being an **enjoyable experience** difficult to understand.
⚠️ Potential Traps: They agree solitude is not similar to loneliness (A). Dev mentions research shows it's beneficial (B), which he appreciates, but his difficulty is with the **enjoyment** aspect.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for phrases that signal **confusion or surprise** ("It's strange the way...") about an outside perspective, as this indicates what they find difficult to understand.

Audio Script Part 3: Questions 21-30

**Tamara**: Right, Dev, so what have you found out about loneliness?
**Dev**: Well, a lot of people think loneliness is just about social media, but I'd say loneliness has a lot to do with the way **📍Q21 cities are designed**, especially where you have a lot of high-rise flats...
**Tamara**: **I think you're right**. And it's not a recent problem either...
**Dev**: No, it's not. I don't think it's got anything really to do with longer life spans.
**Tamara**: A more plausible explanation is that people are having to **📍Q22 move around for work**...
**Dev**: **That's true**. The health risks are considerable. I think there's **📍Q23 no doubt** that loneliness contributes to a **📍Q24 weakened immune system**.
**Tamara**: **Unquestionably**, the data on that is **sound**. And that one in Finland, which showed that loneliness increased the risk of **cancer**... and those findings have been **supported by other studies too**.
**Dev**: Right, let's move on to the evolutionary theory of loneliness. I don't think there's **📍Q25 enough evidence** to support it, but it does seem quite convincing...
**Tamara**: I agree it's convincing. But as you say, **📍Q26 more evidence is needed**. And anyway, this theory is **not really useful** when it comes to **solving the problem** of loneliness today.
**Dev**: **True**. In terms of the link between loneliness and mental health, they're clearly related. However, loneliness has **no recognized clinical form**.
**Tamara**: And there's **📍Q27 no available diagnosis or effective treatments**, and that's **not likely to change**.
**Dev**: Now, about the presentation. **📍Q28 Everyone will be able to relate to that**...
**Tamara**: I'd like to talk about how lonely I was when I started university...
**Dev**: Loads of studies have shown that interactions... make people feel more optimistic and relaxed.
**Tamara**: **📍Q29 I don't know about that**, but it must make people feel more **connected with their community**.
**Tamara**: It's strange the way some people can't stand being by themselves, while others **📍Q30 love it**.
**Dev**: Yeah... being alone isn't something I actually **like**. I'd never **choose** to go on holiday alone for example.

📝 Question 31: Pollution from (31) on the river bank.
🔹 Correct Answer: **factories**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...pollution increased as **📍Q31 factories** were built beside the river and discharged their waste materials into the water."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker explicitly names **factories** as the structures built "beside the river" that were responsible for the pollution.
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Waste materials" is mentioned, but the question asks for the **source** (the noun before "on the river bank").
⭐ Key Learning Point: In notes completion, pay close attention to the **grammar of the gap**. The answer needs to be a **plural noun** that fits the context "Pollution from [X] on the river bank."

📝 Question 32: In 1957, the River Thames in London was declared biologically (32).
🔹 Correct Answer: **dead**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "As recently as **1957**, scientists at London's Natural History Museum declared that the River Thames was **📍Q32 dead**, in biological terms."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker states the River Thames was declared "**dead**" in biological terms in **1957**, which is the missing adjective.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "filthy" is mentioned as the reason, but the word used to describe its **biological state** is **dead**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **direct quotes or technical terms** that immediately follow the key date/context ("1957," "declared").

📝 Question 33: Seals and even a (33) have been seen in the River Thames.
🔹 Correct Answer: **whale**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "These days you can see seals swimming in the water, and recently people had to try to rescue a **📍Q33 whale**, which had got lost and swam up the river..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker lists seals, and then mentions a **whale** as the other animal that has been seen.
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Seals" are mentioned first, but the gap needs the second animal mentioned.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In a list, use the first item given ("Seals") as an anchor to listen for the second item ("**whale**") that follows the signal phrase "and even a."

📝 Question 34: Riverside warehouses are converted to restaurants and (34)
🔹 Correct Answer: **apartments**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "Warehouses... are now being converted into expensive restaurants, and also into **📍Q34 apartments** with river views..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker lists the new uses: "expensive restaurants, and also into **apartments**" (plural noun).
⚠️ Potential Traps: "River views" is a distractor. The question asks for the type of **place** created.
⭐ Key Learning Point: When completing a list, wait for the connecting word "and also into" or similar phrases to capture the final item.

📝 Question 35: build a riverside (35)
🔹 Correct Answer: **park**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...an architect has plans to revitalize the banks of the river. And to make a **📍Q35 park** there, which can provide facilities for sports, as well as a natural environment..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The plans for Los Angeles include making a "**park**" on the banks of the river.
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Facilities for sports" and "natural environment" are mentioned as **benefits** of the park, not the object itself.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for the **primary object** being planned ("**park**") before listening to the descriptive details that follow it.

📝 Question 36: display (36) projects.
🔹 Correct Answer: **art**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "It's been proposed that facilities could be provided for displaying projects related to various kinds of **📍Q36 art** that have been produced by local people..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker mentions "projects related to various kinds of **art**" that can be displayed.
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Local people" is a distractor describing the origin of the projects.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for the specific **category** of the projects being displayed ("**art**").

📝 Question 37: In Paris, (37) are created on the sides of the river every summer.
🔹 Correct Answer: **beaches**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...the banks are transformed into **📍Q37 beaches** where people can relax in deck chairs... sunbathe, or buy a drink..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker describes how the river banks in Paris are transformed into "**beaches**" in the summer, which is the main noun for the created space.
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Deck chairs" and "sunbathe" describe the scene, but **beaches** is the noun for the transformed river sides.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The noun required is the object that the banks are "transformed into" (**beaches**).

📝 Question 38: Over 2 billion passengers already travel by (38) in cities round the world.
🔹 Correct Answer: **ferry**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "**Already**, more than 2 billion passengers use the **📍Q38 ferry** to travel in cities around the world..."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker provides the exact mode of transport: "**ferry**" immediately after the numerical signpost "2 billion."
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Boat" or "ship" are general terms, but the specific word used by the speaker for passenger transport is **ferry**.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Listen for **precise vocabulary** when a specific mode of transport is required, especially when a number is used as a signpost.

📝 Question 39: Instead of road transport, goods could be transported by large freight barges and electric (39)
🔹 Correct Answer: **bikes**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...the parcels could be taken the last few kilometers to their final destination on cargo **📍Q39 bikes**, electric ones of course."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: For the final stage of delivery, the parcels are transported by cargo **bikes**, which are "electric ones."
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Cargo bikes" is the full term, but the single word answer is **bikes**. "Barge" is the previous item in the list.
⭐ Key Learning Point: In list completions, listen for the descriptive adjective ("electric") as it often immediately precedes the final answer ("**bikes**").

📝 Question 40: or, in future, by (40).
🔹 Correct Answer: **drone**
📍 Location in Audio Script: "...And in future, the final stage could even be carried out by **📍Q40 drone**, although at present this isn't allowed."
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The speaker offers the future possibility for the final stage of transport as a "**drone**."
⚠️ Potential Traps: "Road transport" or "shipping" are mentioned but are current or general methods.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for **time-based signposting** ("in future") to indicate a shift in the discussion to a potential development, which often contains the final answer.

Audio Script Part 4: Questions 31-40

**Lecturer**: Today, I’m going to talk about the revitalization of urban rivers. The water became increasingly filthy as populations grew. Then, in the 18th century, other types of pollution increased as **📍Q31 factories** were built beside the river and discharged their waste materials into the water. This was so bad that as recently as **1957**, scientists at London's Natural History Museum declared that the River Thames was **📍Q32 dead**, in biological terms. However, since the 1960s, there has been an effort to clean up the river. These days you can see seals swimming in the water, and recently people had to try to rescue a **📍Q33 whale**, which had got lost and swam up the river... Warehouses that were once used for storing goods are now being converted into expensive restaurants, and also into **📍Q34 apartments** with river views...

In Los Angeles, for instance, an architect has plans to revitalize the banks of the river. And to make a **📍Q35 park** there, which can provide facilities for sports, as well as a natural environment for relaxing in. It’s been proposed that facilities could be provided for displaying projects related to various kinds of **📍Q36 art** that have been produced by local people...

Moving now to Paris, the banks are transformed into **📍Q37 beaches** where people can relax in deck chairs... sunbathe, or buy a drink. What's more, the growth of passenger transport has been dramatic. Already, **more than 2 billion** passengers use the **📍Q38 ferry** to travel in cities around the world... Goods could be transported by large freight barges. For the last few kilometers, the parcels could be taken the last few kilometers to their final destination on cargo **📍Q39 bikes**, electric ones of course. And in **future**, the final stage could even be carried out by **📍Q40 drone**, although at present this isn't allowed.
