TASK 1. LISTENING COMPREHENSION (11.L.2)
Instructions: You will hear an audio recording twice about the impact of dystopian literature on modern society. Listen carefully and complete the tasks below.
Audio Script (for teacher): "Dystopian works, from classics like Orwell's '1984' to modern series like 'The Hunger Games', serve as powerful social critiques. They often extrapolate current trends into terrifying futures, warning us about the dangers of unchecked authority, surveillance, and loss of individuality. While set in fictional worlds, their themes resonate deeply because they reflect our anxieties about technology, government control, and social inequality. These stories are not just entertainment; they are a lens through which we can examine and question our own society's trajectory."
