Listening exercise

I´ve a little exercise to improve your english.

I took a fragment of a program on BBC radio that tells our story through different objects.
The program is very interesting and recommend it.

Now, with respect to the exercise, what you have to do is listen carefully to the fragment. Then, in the order that most pleases you, perform the following activities:

1) Reorder the paragraphs by placing a number inside the brackets.
2) Fill in the blanks with the missing word.

Here is the fragment:



And here is the exercise:

[ ] Below it are ________ eye sockets, and a straight nose with ________ nostrils. The square jaw juts assertively ________, and the lips are closed in a strong ________ pout.-

[ ] Although ________ see him only from the waist up, he's almost nine feet high, and he ________ whatever gallery he's in.

[ ] Standing below him, you're immediately conscious of the solid ________ rock that he's made out of.

[ ] The heavy rectangular head is huge, almost as ________ as the torso below. The overhanging brow is one ________ line, running across the whole ________ of the head.

[ ] The only details on the body are the prominent ________.

[ ] In comparison to the head, the torso is only ________ in. The arms are barely ________ at all, and the hands disappear ________ the stone block of a swelling paunch.

[ ] When you're working hard ________ like this, and have only got ________ tools to chip away with, you can't do detail, so everything about this giant had ________ be big. And bold.


Finally, considering the description that makes the text, make a sketch of what you think the text is describing.
