Listening 1
| This part of the exam tests your ability to understand the gist of what people say, their opinions, feelings and altitudes and whether or not speakers are agreeing with each other. TIP! Suggested procedure 1 Read the two questions for each extract before you listen. Use the information on the page to help you. Remember the context sentence on the page will give you information about the speakers, context and topic, and the questions themselves give you some information about what you're going to hear. 2 The first: time you listen, mark the answer you think is correct for both questions, even if you're not sure. 3 The second time, listen to check your answer and to be sure that the other two options are wrong. 4 If you're not sure, then guess. You've probably understood more than you think and you don't lose marks for wrong answers. |
