Please start the recording on the left by clicking on the Play button now. In this section you will hear a strange story from a New York City policeman. Your task will be to decide whether the following statements are true, false or we do not know because the text does not say. Click on A if the statement is true, B if the statement is false, and C if the text does not say. First, you will have some time to look at the task, and then we will play the whole recording in one piece. Then, after a short pause, you will hear the recording again, but this time we will play the text in shorter sections to give you enough time to give your answers. Use the arrows <= and => to move between the questions or click on "Show all questions" to see all the questions. You needn't answer the questions in the given order but you must answer them all to complete this task. If you make a mistake, you must try again until you find the right answer.
