The McFaddin hiking and nature trail

Good morning.

I'm Susan Meyer, trail warden for the McFadden Hiking and Nature Trail.

Let me tell you a bit about the trail.

The trail is 25 miles long, running roughly east to west.

To hike it, you may start at either end of the trail or in between.

You can hike the whole length of the trail, or just a couple of miles, because there are 20 entry points along the trail, each connected to public roads by short paths.

For hikers coming from Johnson City, there's a shuttle bus to each of the two end points every morning and evening, and four of the entry points have a free car park with television camera surveillance.

At one-mile intervals along the trail, there are rest stations providing picnic areas, water, toilets, and places where you can recharge your electronic devices.

In response to a poll of walkers last year, we've recently installed kiosks at each rest station with clear, easy-to-follow maps and other trail information.

There are several distinct sections of trail.

The Red Rock Walk offers a superb opportunity to study a huge variety of vegetation along the way.

There's lots to look at, though you can't see great distances.

Birds are actually hard to spot, but with a pair of binoculars and at certain times of day, you may see some rare varieties.

The River Walk comprises about five miles of trail winding along the bank of the Mulder River.

Personally, I prefer this section of the trail in winter.

The river does freeze over and the snow can accumulate, but that doesn't always discourage visitors.

Sometimes, though, if the weather conditions are really unsuitable, we might have to close this walk to the public.

But often it can get crowded with hikers who've discovered the attraction of the area.

Now let me tell you about the Halfway Hostel, located approximately midway along the trail.

It has a range of facilities available to help make your walking experience memorable.

Let me give you some information about the various facilities available there.

Of course, there are beds in dormitories for use at a very reasonable $7 per person, weekdays or weekends.

Unfortunately, we found that pre-booking beds just didn't work, so now we allocate them as people arrive, but we have extra cots and sleeping bags to help with any overflow.

There are two family rooms accommodating six people each with private bathrooms.

They're $35 per room, and for them you will need to make arrangements ahead of time as they're very popular, especially at the weekends.

A popular facility that we've recently added is coin-operated washing machines for your clothes.

You can get awfully wet and dirty if you're walking the trail in bad weather, and since we got these machines, you can put on clean gear when you set out in the morning.

The hostel serves two meals a day, breakfast at $4 and dinner at $8.

The same for adults and kids.

There's always a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian option, depending on your preferences.

We do ask you to give a hand with serving and cleaning up after meals.

We have plenty of showers and unlimited hot water available, so you can have this luxury at no charge, and you can enjoy it as long as you like.

Now, some people like to spend time on the trail on mountain bikes and maybe take a bit of a rest from all that walking, and that's permitted as long as you observe basic safety rules.

The hostel's in the process of creating a bike rental scheme, which should be up and running next year.

So, if you think...

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

Giải thích chi tiết

❓Câu hỏi: All entry points along the trail

✅ Đáp án đúng: B. are within easy access from public roads.

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: Đoạn Susan nói về các entry points dọc theo trail: “there are 20 entry points along the trail, each connected to public roads by short paths”

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Đọc câu hỏi, xác định từ khóa cần nghe: All entry points (= tất cả các điểm vào đường mòn).
Trong audio, Susan nói: “there are 20 entry points along the trail” và ngay sau đó là “each connected to public roads by short paths”.
Từ each ở đây rất quan trọng, vì nó mang nghĩa mỗi / tất cả từng điểm một.
Cụm connected to public roads by short paths cho thấy các điểm vào đều dễ tiếp cận từ đường công cộng.
Vì vậy, đáp án đúng là B. are within easy access from public roads.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ A. provide secure parking facilities for cars. => Audio chỉ nói “four of the entry points have a free car park with television camera surveillance”, tức là chỉ 4 điểm, không phải tất cả. ❌ C. have a regular shuttle bus service. => Audio nói shuttle bus đi đến “each of the two end points”, nghĩa là chỉ đến hai đầu của trail, không phải tất cả entry points.
