    you can infer meaning/attitudes from what is said or how it is said.
    There are 25 questions which must be completed in 50 minutes.
    The level of difficulty increases as the test progresses.
    Conversations may be about:
    Accommodation
    Transport
    Entertainment
    Health
    Shopping
    Others

    Choose the correct answer: A, B, C or D


    Questions may involve sentence completion (stem sentences)
    1 Paul and Jill decide to travel by
    A taxi
    B bus
    C train
    D
    bicycle
    OR they could be worded as a complete question (and you have to

    choose the best option)

    D kitchen

    DOS & DONTS

    an answer.
    Read the questions before the listening starts.
    Read the questions carefully. Find the keywords which you
    can listen for.
    Listen for stressed words.
    Be prepared for synonyms and paraphrasing.
    Don't panic if you miss one question. Look ahead and
    concentrate on the next one.
