Hearing comprehension 21

We propose you a hearing comprehension exercise. We're going to give you a paragraph every week (Mondays) to practice with it. Try to understand every single word. We advise you to write it, as if it were a dictation. You can send us your writtings here below clicking in 'comments'. We'll give you the right answer the following week. Try it!


Here is the transcription to the last week listening:
Which would you rather have, a sure gain of 3,000 euros or an 80 percent chance of winning 4,000 euros and a 20 percent chance of winning nothing? And what if it were a choice between a sure loss of 3,000 euros or an 80 percent chance of losing 4,000 euros and a 20 percent chance of losing nothing? Our willingness to accept risk is higher when we are facing possible loss than when the identical risk is presented in terms of potential gain.
