For Q5 I got something to do with 1 in 6 athletes, technology was previously harder to use and technology being useful at home

For question 5:
I don't agree with the "first time the event has been held" but that might just be me. I thought that the option was "it was held for the first time this year" and the extract said "it was held in June'" hence couldn't have been this year. If I'm wrong feel free to say thanks for this though!

I agree with you about the event being held

That's reassuring! I then got that the engineers and scientists worked together (it literally said this in the extract "juntos" and everything) and I agree that I read something about that it could be used at home but I don't believe it said it was helpful so I didn't pick it. Again, correct me if I'm wrong because I don't want to sound arrogant or offensive thanks again for this!

What's it out of again please?

40 for listening, 45 for reading so 95 in total - any idea on grade boundaries?

For question 5:
I don't agree with the "first time the event has been held" but that might just be me. I thought that the option was "it was held for the first time this year" and the extract said "it was held in June'" hence couldn't have been this year. If I'm wrong feel free to say thanks for this though!

Was 10a not health services

Also for question 8 I'm not sure that the option was doesn't want to marry abroad either but was saying something about considering getting married abroad and therefore wouldn't work with her statement. Again, if I'm wrong just let me know

You missed about a part -- the question was like what is his main reason of success?? It was internet publicity x
