B Listen to this extract that provides an answer to the question in Listening 1D. Choose a, b or c. Male voice: ... so, once you’ve got that, you then have to do your homework. Look through local directories or take a tour of the town. If other companies are providing a similar service, you should try to offer something a bit different. Of course, you must expect competition, but starting up a business in an area where everyone is trying to sell the same thing is dangerous. And don’t just put your prices down. Customers are not always attracted to the provider who charges less than everyone else.

B Listen to somebody giving a talk about how setting goals can help you achieve more. Voice: Good evening, everyone. It’s good to see that so many people managed to make it – an achievement in itself when I’m sure you’re all so busy. This evening, I’m going to talk with you about setting goals, and how setting goals can help you understand what you really want to achieve. First, though, I’d like to start by saying what I think achievement actually means. I think some people think it’s simply about being successful in a job or making money, but it certainly doesn’t have to mean that. Achievement is simply accomplishing goals that you set for yourself – doing what you planned to do – and people might plan to do all sorts of different things. Achievement is about realizing your dreams. I would also like to say that to achieve, you must have belief – belief that you can do whatever it is you want to do. There is more to achievement than simply wanting to do something. Anyone can say that they want something, but actually getting it is not so easy. To get it, you must believe that it is yours. Not having


belief is the main reason that so many people do not achieve. If you really want something, you must talk and act like you already have it – then you have belief, and then you will achieve. So, goal setting. Goal setting is about imagining


the future, and then turning the dream into a reality. Setting goals helps you to be clear about what you really want, and helps you concentrate on getting what you want. Setting goals will help you see what is stopping you from knowing what’s important. And because achieving goals makes you feel good, you will be more confident and succeed more easily. Goal setting is something that all achievers do, whether they are high-flyers in business or successful athletes. It is important that you set both long-term and


short-term goals. First, you need to have an idea of what you want from life – I call this the ‘big picture’ – then, you break this down into a number of smaller goals that you need to achieve in order to achieve the overall goal. As I say, the first step is to see the big picture. Think about what you want in the next fifteen or twenty years – doing this will influence all the smaller goals that you set yourself. You need to think carefully about different areas of your life and how they influence each other. You should identify the important areas of your life, and try to set goals in each of those areas. Here are the areas that most people want to


focus on, but remember that everyone is different. First, think about your career – how important is your career to you? Do you want to be a manager or run your own business, or are you happy working for other people? Connected to this is the financial side of your life – what sort of income do you want to have? Is wealth important to you? You need to think about long-term relationships – at what age do you hope to be married? Do you want to have children? How much time do you want to spend with the people you love? You need to think about your health and how that


could change what you can achieve. How will you stay healthy as you get older? Do you do anything that is not good for your health, and how will you try to do those things less or stop doing them completely? Finally, you need to think about your free time –


your hobbies and interests. How much time do you want to have to do what you really enjoy? It is difficult to achieve goals in one area if you feel that you don’t have the time to do the things that really make you happy. Now, when you have this overall picture, try to set yourself one goal for each area. Make sure the goals are what you really want, and not what you think other people want from you. Of course, in life, it is important to make the people around you happy, but you must focus on what you want. Now, I will go on to talk about how to break your


lifetime plan down into short-term goals. But first, does anyone have any questions about what I’ve said so far?
